Ton I had to come by n dreamquest a little..nothin growin at Doobs house right now. Your OJ looks great, well... they all look great. Nice sharp pix bro...DD
wattup my friends,sorry i been MIA but its been a busy ass week around here...chopped 32 in the last 3 days....still have to empty the cloner,roots have wrapped themselves around the pump and sprayers they are so long...looks like a big ass spiderweb in there.
plus real life throwin things at me by the dozens.kids,helpin my gf move into a new house,and i remodeled another room at my casa,oh and my daughter and my gf's birthday was this week...all this week, so forgive me for being a little bit sluggish in here....
@ my brother,dnt lose faith yo im on it right now,finaly
as far as everything else goes.ill get pics up tonight of the chop and the way the room looks now....looks kinda crazy cause i haave some mixed groups in there right now and the canopy is freekin wild....the mofos are so stretchy they look like amazons,these girls might be too stretchy for my space,gonna have to see how tht smoke is before i decide to up-pot one for a mama,well see what she does to the head 1st.
as far as things to do,empty the cloner,flip the new group,x plant from cups to 1's,and from 1's to 3's tht way i stay on schedule....pimpin aint easy but it sure is fun
got a few things in the wrks,you will see soon....
again to my bro,i got you yo....sometimes 24 hrs aaint enough in a day,im sure you can feel tht.
veg...sfd 1's sfd 10's and jack the rippers.....a few bubbas and cheese here and there from overflow.
some of the cloner roots i was tellin ya about.and a couple shots of the clones,needin repotted bad,im gonna go str8 to 1 gallons w these....all sfd 1 and 10 in here...
sup my friends,lately i been gettin a few pm's askin me what im doin to get them to go off like they do...how to get bigger denser buds...etc....alot of tht has to do w strains and i guess some of it might be whatever im doin,so i figured rather then respond to eachh pm id make a post describing the way chit goes down from the time i take them out of the cloner till chop..
1st thing is i wait till the roots are pretty long before i cup them....they go into fox farms light warrior,although recently ive started mixin the redbag of fox farms soil,whatever the name of tht is,w the light warrior at a 50/50 mix.this helps the cups stay moist a little bit longer,the light warrior tende to dry out fast...while in cups they get fed once a week with maxi grow...1 tsp per gallon.
next step is waitin for them to get some nice roots wrapping around the cups and coming thru the holes i have cut in my cups,when i see tht its time for 1 gallon pots and fox farm ocean forest soil....these will also get fed 1 x a week until flower.ph at 6.8-7.0 in tht range is fine w me.during this time they get topped at the main stalk,then pinched for the most part after tht to get plenty of main tops going....mind you,some strains do better growing natural,you just gonna have to get the feel for tht as you go,it will be obvious if they like it or not.
next is waiting for them to be ready for 3 gallon bags,or me to be ready for them to go in 3's,whatever comes 1st...
this is where they get a little bit of extra goodies in the soil,not much,nothing fancy,just what i like to do....
i take the 3 gallon bag,i put in the bottom,,2 scoops (w a garden scooper thing) of chunky perlite...then w the same scoop i put in 6 healthy scoops of ffof,1 fat cup of earth worm castings,1 tblsp. of lime,2 more scoops of chunky perlite, and then miix tht all up in the bag real good....yup in the bag,i make less mess tht way now u should have just enough room left for the plant in the 1 gallon pot to be x planted into the bag,put it in then top off w FFOF...repeat w as many plants as your gonna run....let them settle in to the new diggs for atleast 4-5 days before i flip,,this is real crucial to helpin them take off when i trigger them,i think so anyways.
ok now,i use maxi bloom in flower,kool bloom at the end but we will get to tht.....ok 1st day of flower they get fed 1 tsp. per gallon,ph at 6.8-7.0 always thru out the entire grow...next feed will be at 1 and 1/2 tsp. per gallon,next one at 2 tsp per gallon and thts where i stop.....so in around 2 weeks into flower im at 2 tsp per gallon.sometimes faster depending how fast they are drinking....i feed everytime i water,as you can see my strains dont mind at all,i keep a close eye on new stuff so i kno if they are w the program or if they will need special attention,ive never had anything react negative as long as i take it easy and dont rush into 2 tsp. per off the rip...take it up w each feed.
this goes on until i have about 3-4 weeks left till harvest,then i strt w the koolbloom....i.e if its a 70 day strain at around day 50 ill hit the koolbloom on them,again w the maxibloom and everytime i water they get fed....ill do this until i have around 2 weeks left in the cycle,then its just p.h'd water,mollases might get added in there a couple times too to bring some twang on the flavor side...after they flush for 2 weeks approx. i wait till them ppots are pretty much light,not to where the plant is suffering from it but enough so tht all tht water is out the stems and what not,i think this helps it dry better....idk might do other things too but i know it def does not hurt....
ok so i have to say tht there are a few other things i use,during veg i like to use liquid karma every few waterings or so,tht chit makes them roots blow up imho...also i use superthrive if i think they have had any stress,not as a nute but more as a asperin or meds for them....this goes like after x plant,after flip,or if i think they may have had any other stress from anything else ill use it....also it never hurts to keep some cal mag on hand,never kno when ya might see somethin....
i THINK tht about covers it,im sure there is something im missin,im stoned and its ben a long ass night in the garden....any questions or comments are always welcome...im always open ears when it comes to people tht want to drop some knowledge on a playa....
probabaly should add tht i been takin down the dosage of nutes and leading them into the flush the last couple times,read it in tht playa SELFs thread and it dnt hurt to try new things when they make sens ya kno. SELF
btw i know most of the people tht follow my threads kno all of this stuff already but i wanted to help all the newer kats,and let them kno,this shit aint rocket science ya just have to be motivated..i use to use a line of nutes tht had all these different bottles and mixes for all stages of life blla bla bla....i had it dialed,grew like tht for quite a few yrs,if there is no perpetual goin then thts all fine and dandy.but when ur growin perpetualy its easier to not be pretending im fuckin merlin,or mr. wizard,mixing up nutes like im makin a mad scientist recipe....eye of nute...
