Cool the hydro store has a lot of GH stuff so I will check out your suggestions Packn TopMax is your main deal though? I have some other organics Ive been using but I wanted to try something to help the plants fill out a little more. Thanks for the info!
I think once the trifolate reaches maturity its just like all the others. MIne is now a mum and I have a mixed group of clones veggin right now. I cant really tell the clones apart either. Almost looks like that plant self topped itself. Very interesting though.
I just talked to growdoc about his SOG techniques as I was considering doing one myself. I decided against it because my clones are not that healthy and I only have six ready. Anyways he roots his clones under 12/12 lighting and then puts them directly into flower. I know he prefers to work from seed and probably starts them under 12/12 lighting but I diddnt ask him so I cannot be sure. Good luck on the grow.
Lol no worries immortal. Hope you get your new grow set up. I really like what you managed to do last time with just a 150w!
Oh and i think growdoc uses 24 hour light on seedlings until day 10 then switches to 12/12. The ones i have that vegged a few days look a lot better than the ones that went to straight 12/12. I think a couple weeks of veg is worth it.
Oh and what I thought was a trifoliate was just a mutant. It ended up being a male anyways.
I ended up getting all botonicare products.
Got Pure Blend Pro for soil (Bloom formula)
And Liquid Karma.
I also picked up some worm castings.
Hopefully I can pack some buds on these things. The get fuller everyday!
Well sorry for the crappy pics. My roomate is doing an internship until christmas so the good camera went with him. Oh well i get to use his closet so I think im gonna move all my clothes in there and use the entire 11 ft of my closet while hes gone. I will probably go find a 250w light so I will have a total of 550w which works perfect for the space. If the price is not much difference though I might just go 400w and not use a 150 for a while.
Anyways heres some blurry eye candy for now.
Here is what the cabinet looks like now. The 2 big buckets are the Celtic Stones. I started to LST them the other day and I think they like it!
I have 4 Sharon widow seeds and 3 Mindboggle x NYCD in here. I dont think the other seeds are gonna germinate but ill keep an eye on them
Here is the LST'd CS plants
Here is a shot of some of the colas in the feminized tray. The tall one in the back on left is WWxBG. The other 3 in the foreground are the unknown variety.
Here is probably the fattest bud I have thusfar. It is WWxBG. It filled in a lot more than the other ones it size so Im happy!
Damn well i got some room to fill up in my closet for the next 4 months. Im thinking of potting the plants I have now when they are bigger and filling up the rest of the space with tray style grows.
I found a remote ballasted 400w HPS with batwing reflector for $110 so Thats what Im going with. Im thinking after all the plants are bigger and have been sexed I will have 4 females unless i get a real good ratio. So that will leave room for about 2 trays I figure. Ill just play it by ear.
Lets hope for major buddage! Im hoping I get 4oz after all is said and done with this. But ill be happy if its at least 2. I plan to veg all of these plants LST style for 2 months then put them into flower. I just ordered the 400w!!! Damn Im happy! I also dropped 2 of AnnaC's NYCD F2's into the shotglass. Hopefully ill find a girl! Im hoping to have at least 4 full size plants and fill the rest of the room with the trays. I might start a tray as soon as I get the new light... with feminized seed... vegged for a couple weeks... I guess ill wait and see. Waiting sucks!
dub - looking good! If you lst your plants and have a 400 hps for flower my guess is you should get 1.5-2 oz / plant. LST will give you a crazy amount of branching - enough so I stopped counting on mine
Always seems so far away looking ahead, but harvest time will be here before ya know it!
Ya thanks for the encouragement MGJ! on my first LST grow I had one plant that probably had 20 branches... Some werent thant noteworthy though but Im sure more lights will help that story!
Im looking to harvest by the end of september. Just gonna play it by eye
Hey I took more pictures that are better than the last round. I hope this 400w gets here quick. I kindof might be thinking of starting another tray soon just to keep it perpetual as possible. We will see.
Here are 2 pics of the LST'd Celtic Stones. They really look good compared to when I got back from vacation. These should do real good veged for 2 months.
Heres my little collection of seedlings. The 4 party cups toward the left are all sharon widow seedlings. The other 3 are Mindboggle x NYCD but 1 hasnt sprouted and might not.
I also have 2 NYCD f2s by annaC that I just planted today. Both had tails already. I also put 2 blueberry seeds in a shotglass cause I really want to smoke some blueberry!
Ok well here is a pretty good picture of the feminized tray. 2 of the bigger hollands hopes are tied down and are in this picture too. Thats why the other tray looks kind of barren. That tray just didnt veg long enough I have a feeling. PEOPLE VEG YOUR SEEDS AT LEAST 10 DAYS!!! Learn from my mistake. I think i might be having a pH problem with this tray too. Dont know. But its gonna have to do for now. Im thinking when the 400w gets here i will veg 10 feminized seeds in my cabinet for a couple weeks and then tray them. Then use a 400 and 150 in the closet.
Here is the other tray. Only 1 of the white skunks is really putting much buddage on. The other 2 still dont look far into flower. Maybe they will just take a little longer.
Im having a leaf cupping problem with some of the Hollands hope. Dont know if its from being inside... heat possibly... or maybe too much peat and no lime in the soil. Im gonna pick up some lime cause i need it anyways... Maybe i can top dress with it? Dont know...
Well i might have changed my mind on the hollands hope. They look pretty bad ass now... They definately had the potential to fill out a lot better, but the crystal formation on them is phenominal! The lower buds are neon green and white! Daymn! Wish i had a better cam so I could get some macros.
Im supposed to get my 400w today so ill get pics when that goes in and of the garden. Its still fillin out more and more each day! I think im gonna get a lot more off this grow than the last one. I did get one new pic of the veg cabinet.
I have 11 seedlings going 2 of the month old or older maybe Celtic Stones, and a little planter in the bottom of some bright green schwag I got the other day and a hashplant cross. These will go in another planter but will veg for 10-14 days in the grow cab.
Well im gonna try to get more pics up tonight of the new light and my garden!
Well i think i missed the delivery so it might be tomorrow before i get the light... I hope its tomorrow.
Ill put up some pics anyways.
Here is what the garden is looking like. The buds are really filling in and putting on crystals now!
Here is a little comparrason so you can see how tall these plants are. I thought they stretched too much at first but they have really filled in now.
Still a month of bud formation to go!
Heres a closeup of some buds. The one in the back is bubblegum x white widow. The ones in the front are the Unknown bagseed
Here is the big boy. Pretty sativa dominant i assume... going off the thin leafs and whispy buds. Ive never had anything that looked like this. You can still kinof see stem and just calyxes everynow and then. I guess this one might go a bit longer. Hopefully it gets more dense!
Ok now for the other side of the garden. I recon ill get probably between a half oz and an oz off the hollands hope. They are real frosty. Only 1 of the white skunks is really forming bud good. The other two are being REAL slow. These ones may have to be potted at harvest and stay a bit longer in the flower room.
This is the best closeup of the hollands hope I could get... Its not very good... doesnt even do it justice... Its covered in crystals but you cant really tell from the pic.
Think ya got your 4 ozs and then some dubmantx. They are looking really good. How many daze now? Think we just discovered you have a talent here man. I'm drooling!
