Hick in the sticks: a continuous tale of seed pop'n, pollen chuck'n,& bud grow'n!

Never revegged before. Or could harvest and reveg out of the seed branch or something hadnt thought of that :chin:

Revevg wont hurt the beans eh? :chin:
The beans should be fine, just try to leave what ever you can for vegetation..... seems to help from my experience.. once reveg takes hold and you start to see the change you can take the beans. I've also popped them out with tweezers as the process goes on, instead of loping off whole buds.. trying to save as much veg material as possible for photosynthesis. :tiphat:

:good: out of votes before 7 lol. Yeah I was looking in the reveg thread..think I might just clip the nugs off and leave all the leaves and seed nugs/lower non-smokeables on there.

Should I superthrive her after that or anything? And I only water when she really needs it right? Still no response in the reveg thread hah.

whiteberries how are your cloning skills?

iv'e been having better luck rooting a bud on a stick and then revegging that rather than trying to get my harvested plants to reveg.

with harvested plants i leave on wahtever lowers look best, prune what i want to harvest. i ususally root prune as well, trying to remove a similar amount of roots in proportion to what i took off the top of the plant.

i've heard a little bit of soluble n seems to help encourage new foliage.

i usually do a kelp tea since i'm an organic nutball. ime it's helpful to stimulate new root growth and the foliage will follow.

good luck!

Hey thanks Heady..clone skills are pretty good when I have new rooters lol gotta grab some & Mr. Wallet's mad atm w/ the anger..should be able to grab some sometime this week tho

Was thinking about doing that..the other strawberry I didn't take a cut til wk1 and she's rooted come to find out last night. Had bad luck trying that before but now i know about the watering thing, kept it too wet before. I'ma give it a go when I got some new rooters, hopefully have roots by the time she's done and revegged a month after that, instead of 2 months after that. Dont wanna lose this bird.

tote cab...

tote cab...

Figure I'd share this in here,..... I was contemplating on making a thread in the micro section.
This a newer cab I put together, its 2 35 gal totes put together...... not really super stealthy but not what I was going for.
Built it to have another option for isolation for flowering males and/or breeding.
Right now I have 3 plants in 2 gal smart pots with organic soil. Minion city diesel, gg4, and khalisi #2 all where fitted with there own 16" x 8" "screens" (3x4" fence)
Then vegged for a couple wks, a lil more then I planed so I added some netting to the MCD and GG4 to keep them in check....

The tote is fitted with 3 recessed LED light down the center and 3 reg led bulbs in the corners fixed at angles facing the center. I plan on adding a fourth led in the corner where the exhust is.
Temps are holding great, the tote runs at 3 degrees above ambient room temp. So there is room for more lights if wanted.... but to be honest I dont think its needed... it is super bright..

Individually screened so I can still move them about for maintenance and watering.

Lol... definitely do, got to leed them to the path of enlightenment:abduct: haha
I got friends like that, built a few cabs for a couple of them..... kinda what got me into micro.
There great for stealth growing, all self contained and very portable.
I have large rooms to flower and veg in but still run a couple different cabs, very handy for breeding... head stash and I do on ocasion pheno hunt in them. Plus any excuse on taking up more room for growing works, the mrs. Can't complain about this being "all in your face".... shit I dump the exhust out the house so i here isn't even a smell...... well untill I open the cab lol.:biggrin:

Hard to see in the first, but I ended up with 3 120mm fans

:tiphat: Yes it does become a concern especially in flower after a watering....lol.. I just run the fan 24/7 in this particular cab, keep the humidity in check for the most part.

I thinking im gonna make up another tote cab in similar style..... but half the length. Same hight to keep the same head room. But with this cab I want to use a hepa filter on the exhust. Maybe with external fitter "box" to filter pollen from flowering males.... just trying to determine what's the size fan I am gonna need (pc).... and if it would be worth making the filter "box" for the added surface area of the hepa for an increase of flow.

I noticed that you have a hepa like filter on your male isolation chamber... but with it being against the fan.... I'd would do the same but I need any added flow to a count for the heat the lights generat ( which is very minimal with the leds I'm using).
Do you run a light in side of your iso?

nope, I got it in the sidelight of the parabolic surrounded by girls... and hepa filters are overkill... pollen has a rather large particle size, easy to catch.

What do you use to filter the pollen? It's not a huge concern in my environment, but I also don't run them in the same room...but to be able to not worried if I had to run them close would be nice and was the idea behind making another cab.

The cabs gonna be self contained, and really the only females the cab/ males will be close to are vegging ones.... so if worst case scenario plays out it wouldn't be a huge set back.
Maybe one of those happy little accidents lol..like gorilla glue or the like:biggrin:

Sweet... I actually have some of those filters, bought at a liquidation store for like a dallor each. ... didn't know what i was going to use em on....... but i do now lol:biggrin:

Thanks Sea:tiphat:

Just posted these in Useful's thread......
White lotus x lucky charms........2 phenos at 4 wks flower in 2 gal organic soil....

Both are impressing me, #1 smells like lucky charms.... sweet creamy fruit.. just like the ceral... getting more deeper dankness to her as she goes.
#2... Has been real Suttle with hints of sweetness but more dank funk....
Both are covered in trichomes and on track to producing great... structures on point as well..:biggrin:
