GD AngelDust & Cindy Williams Grow Log

[packn2puff]

Hey everybody..sorry I'm not being a very good host to the thread lately..I've been very busy getting ready for my new employment..
I will start working any day now..I was told I should receive a call soon..

The CW's are being chopped right now..I was going to step harvest, but the plants are so root bound I'm just gonna finish chopping..
There is no doubt now that these are the same plants I grew before..buds are a little better formed..but the aroma and flavor are the same..
Kinda cat pissy..and slightly unpleasant flavor..the high is lighter and more heady than the AD..
If I did market buds..and I don't..I would have trouble getting rid of the CW's, but the AD's would easily go..
All that said..I haven't tried CW4 the single kola..It is covered in trichs..darker and sticky..
Well I got the full gauntlet of unstable genetics here..each plant grew differently..pheno-roulette..

TML16..yeah I'm using RG-59 screw-ons on RG-6 cable..I've lost my digital part of cable(Internet & dig cable) twice since the repair..
I now have 5 splices where none should be..It's a mess..inside I only use RG-6 quad shield studio quality cable..
I'm trying to get the motivation to do a pic fest..BD's will be there, because after today, that's all that will be left growing..

GMT..I was just handed the carrot..I think Garlic probably knows exactly what I'm saying..and now I have to take the next job offered..
The closet will be all BD for now..

GCG..Well the repair did take some doing..they cut up 9 cables..I think I'm the only one active..my neighbors all have dishes..
I had to dig some and signal trace..I also didn't want to step on the work order..but screw um now I need my TV dammit..

pontiac..I'm about to say screw the association..and run conduit myself..I'm in a financial bind right now..
so I'm down to essential purchases only..but I think I will DWC a couple of clones from one of the young BD's..

Growdoc..Thanks man..by seed stock I mean seeds I can burn without a single care..just drop and go..I didn't want to drop F1's for the experiments I've been up to..
You've been there for me from day one..and I know you remain to be there..I'm glad I was able to get some good shots of the AD's..
We got one in the POTM right now too..wasn't my fav but there were a lot of pics put up for nomination and DG labeled it Angledust..hehe
I rooted my AD clones easy enough..but making the blunder of pouring the wrong solution in(mid-flower1400ppm)..finally did um in..

I know I said I would get pics last post..but I didn't..I'm gonna be chopping, cleaning and watering today..I'll try to nail down the correct grow times too..
What I can say..is all that will be growing is BubbleDust..3 stages worth..

2 - BD trees in 1st week of flower
4 - Unsexed BD's still in veg(by time alone..suspect all 4 female)
4 - BD clones (looks like all 4 might make it) leaves indicate all have rooted

That's it for now..I will take pics today as I chop..

Hey Pn2P good luck with roll call? I hope the list isn't too long? I remeber being # 250 on the list before. but no big deal I didn't want to work at the time anyways, I just needed to signup for unemployment. I needed a vacation.

They cut 9 cables? What a bunch of fucking butchers. I think I would have a serious talk with the landscapers. I'd say look you dipshits if you cut my cable again and I'm out of TV i'm going to the shit out of you. Comprende?

At least you are up and running again. Good luck on your new job.

GCG

 

[packn2puff]

GCG..Nope..I'm good there..hope I get something full rate and nearby..also I go out there and point out the cable every lawn day..

Well I've been choppin Cindy's..CW4 has decently dense buds..but found a big flaw..SHE'S A DAMN HERMIE TOO...her roots were terrible too..
Oh well all chopped now..here's her pics..


Cindy Williams #4 Chopped 8-22-06


Cindy Williams #4 sticky but hermie 8-22-06

 

[TML16]

Hey There PN2P

Well CW doesn't look that bad at all. Compared with the last pics you showed of her...I'd say she done well. At least you have some smokables.

sounds like some cable patching fun! Yeah...you won't get a digital signal through RG-59, freq runs too low usually. Internet should be fine though.
Sounds like the gardeners need to take a weed break ...slow down and mind the cables.

Nice to see you back in action...good luck with the new job eh

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Packn - your cw's still look great - lotsa crystal all over! Too bad on hermie-land - how much seeding did you get?

Yup, when workers slice cables they often do it in a big way - earlier this summer a backhoe took out cable trunks for cabletv / internet distribution, a few power line conduits, and some telco trunks too. They just picked the spot with the highest buried cable density as the starting point for their work. Given that the county doesn't have maps updated more than every 10 years, I wasn't real suprised that it happened. Sure sucks though - half of the recovery time was finger pointing

Earlier this year I re-ran the coax from my Comcast cable feed - they originally put in cheap coax - the kind where the insulation cracks after a year or two. Got tired of patching cable patches, and ran low loss cable the lenght of the runs. Would never tell them that though... They'd probably tariff me for using non-approved cable very handy that you have a solid background in electrical - makes life a bit easier in this day and age.

And I agree with Growdoc - you always make the AD look fantabulous!

Cya!

BubbleDust Update:(Growdate from dry seed)
2 BD Trees: Growdate Day 64...Day 13 Flower
4 BD Bettys: Growdate Day 38..still in Veg
4 BD Clones: Taken 8-12-06 Day 15

TML16..Some of the Cindys did OK..nice easy going cerebral high..I like it for and more..might be pretty good after the cure..

MGJ..The hermie is a good hermie..she didn't go over till late..so no real harm done..
That's just it they just chopped up the brand new cable..the whole run was replaced about 5 mo's ago..oh well I got it working pretty good..

Finally I got off my butt and took some pics to show the current goings on..
The dates above should be accurate..The AD clones were a wash after the accident..
I have now found a nute program, soil mix, & clone program that I'm happy with..
6:1 potting soil to coco coir..seems to work perfect for me..much better root growth and O2..right between a soil grow and hydro..I have to water more often..that's the trade..
Advanced Nutes are doing an excellent job..I am stepping up to the next level of nute strength for the BD's..going from light feeding to the light moderate schedule..
The big surprise came from the Bud Blood..they busted out in flowers almost overnight..like it bought a week for a day..this is what my friend at the hydro store said it would do..
I've been running pH at 6.3 per AN..no problems..other than the BD's look micro hungry a bit..but every one I've grown seems to look that way..
Don't know if the pics show but some of the fan leaves are 11 fingers but fat so they overlap..
The AN Jump Start did just that..all 4 clones should make it and are now growing..
My clone method now..GH rapid rooters, Rootech Gel, & AN Jump Start foliar with AN Wet Betty..once rooted AN "Rooted Clones" program..had roots in less than a week..

OK pic time..

[Mr GreenJeans]

Wow nice pics packn! Definitely have the secret sauce white balance goin with your camera, colors look fabulous. Also looks like you have the AN program down...

Flowering BD trees - GoodnPlenty to come!

Yes indeed, Puffman. You have a nice setup there.
How long will you veg your clones before 12s?
What size pot will you use for flower?

I've been growing BM & WWxBB clones - kinda like budsicles. I went from Solo cups to 2 liter soda bottles to 1-gal pots. No vegging. I got 10-20 grams dried bud per plant. That was my first attempt and I was pleased at the ease of clones. This time around, I'm going from Solo cups straight to 1-gal pots and I'll let them veg a few weeks.
viva la dope!

 

[packn2puff]

MGJ..Yeah the trees I took the pic under the hps..then used a color tool called color-cast..You eyedrop what should be white..then adjust the level of influence..
The veg pics are MH which is fine for background light..but the BD trees are kinda huge for the light..I need to add the other BD's soon and I went 4 for 4 on them being female..so once again I've got more plants than light..that's what's nice about that curtain though..I can easily expand or reduce the circle needed for the task at hand..so either way the 4 BD Betty's will be joining the trees in about a week..

Rev Willis..Hey how's it going man..well the clones I didn't really have any plans..I was more interested in honing this quick clone technique..but now it looks like they will all make it..I still don't know..might LST one or two..but most likely hold off flower for awhile..I should make bushes..I've never really bushed out BD's
Yeah bud-on-a-stick style is a popular clone method especially for a SOG grow..very efficient..an ebb & flow table is a good choice for BOAS..or 1 gal potting soil..
I let the roots decide what pot I'm gonna use..when they use their water in 1 day for the mix I'm using..then it's time to re-pot..for 100 day plants 40veg/60flower..16oz Cups to #1 tall pots (3.6qts approx) to #5 tall pots (3.8gal approx) is good for me..these trees might go into some 9 gal pots (6-7 gals worth) I'm not opposed to repotting during flower

 

[TML16]

eh there Packn

Those are some good sized trees for day 13. You really vegged them out well.

Great job with the pics. Interesting technique to get rid of HPS red.

 

[GMT]

Hi Pack, gotto agree on the great photo thing, but then I always do. Love those curtains you have, and you seem to have plenty of room for them all. Remind me again will ya, is that a 600 you're using to flower? Would be nice to see some BD bushes too, even if ya only did it on one plant.

 

[Growdoc]

OK Packn2puff... i see what you mean by having some seed to experiment with, all i can say is go for it!!!

I like what i see as always, only thing is you make it look to easy...hehehe

Growdoc

 

[packn2puff]

TML16..GMT...Growdoc Thanks for posts..no time to respond much..

I'm am so busy I'm worn out..Working full-time and going to school full-time..homework fills the rest in..soon I will drop to part time school..
Good news for me though..no drug testing where I work..I'm digging that..

I've almost killed the plants 4 times from lack of water..but all are alive and kicking..this nute plan has really saved my ass..I haven't had to fiddle at all..
Only the 4 clones are veggin..I just put the BD Betty's into flower..so 6 in flower..

Try to get an update tomorrow night or Sunday..

 

[pontiac]

Wow, you are a very hard worker indeed. I'd probably stop growing if i had a schedule like that. Kudos and mucho respect to you packn', seriously.

About your watering issue, you should get those water bottle drippers for your plants. I use it for my non mj plants; Keeps them alive and well for weeks with out any human intervention. I swear i can go w/o checking them for a month and a half if i were to use a 2 liter bottle filled with nute water.

Cant wait to see an update bro!

 

[GMT]

waiting for picks Pack.

Pontiac, I like the look of those. Looks like you could water strainght to the lower level of soil, may be an alternative way to keep the fungus gants at bay?

 

[pontiac]

^^^ Hmm i like the sound of that, god i hate fungus gnats. Do you know any other methods to reduce their numbers?

 

[GMT]

Yeah, MGJ swears by diatomaceous (thats the wrong spelling) earth. Not sure how it works, but he says it does. My next trip to the garden centre I'm doing a search and trial run.

 

[pontiac]

Hmm sounds very promising, thanks! this site explains how it works pretty well: http://www.hydromall.com/happy_grower16.html

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

GMT - you got the right spelling! J/K - Pontiac, great reference - explains it perfectly. I just mix it in with the soil, 2-4 tbsp per gal soil.

Packn - hat's off to ya man - hard enough to do at age 25, a bit more difficult in middle age. Sounds like you'll be set for a while when you're done!

 

[sannie]

Glad your back

Plants look beautifull.
