Jim's 4" Aero, search for moms

[Jim Dunlop]

Hey everyone, I'm sort of new here, but not to growing.

Setup:
3.5 x3.5 x 6.5 space
400w digital HPS/MH
Botanicare Line of nutrients
4" SCH40 PVC tubes
420 GPH pump
24 sprayers


I have a 4" PVC setup. Started this batch from seed, everything else will be from clone from now on. I'm trying to get a group of prime mothers together.

Here I have Purple Cindy x White Widow, C99 x Blueberry (Wallyduck), Kushberry, and Grape Krush.

Seeing how these have grown I have a feeling I won't run the Grape Krush again, although I'll have to wait for the buds.

Here are some pics:

Looks nice man! Can you tell me a bit more about your set-up please?

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Yep, mj good to see you over here. I'm the same Jim from GC.

Thanks for the compliment Jamie

smokesalot, I'm going to update the first post with my setup information.

Pulled 2 more males today both C99xBB... Two of the GK are probably males and at least one KB is a male. FUCK.

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Update. The two GK I thought were males, were. The KB I thought was a male turned out to be a lady. Out of 13 original plants, I now have 7 females, 2 unconfirmed, 1 being the little mutant plant. I believe it's a male.

I swapped some poorly cut clones for some newly cut ones. PCW1, PCW2, PCW3 each got cut once.

2 taken from KB1 and KB2. 2 taken from GK.

In cloner:

3 Purple Cindy Widow, 1 from each plant
3 Great White Shark
2 Grape Krush
4 Kushberry
3 Cindy Blues
1 PPP seedling, loving it already, growing great
1 shitty little SDx seedling
And 1 WW seedling, 2 SDx seedlings in humidome

KB1 - preflowers 3/4/09
KB2 - preflowers 3/5/09
PCW1 - preflowers 2/27/09
PCW2 - preflowers 2/27/09

jim , grow is looking great. We might have to trade cuts lol

 

[Mrs. Swamp]

Very clean. I like.

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Thanks guys!

I'm going to have to grow out some more Grape Krush beans to see if I can get a better growing, less deformed one. In good time...

Have some SDx, WW, PPP seeds going as well. The WW and PPP were freebies.

The last unconfirmed Kushberry is a female!

 

[SkunkyDemon]

damn those are some nice strains! I like your aero set up, maybe you can tells use a little more and the build and what sprayers you use,what pump size would be cool to. Sorry if you already answered this, I did read throw the thread. Thanks and I can wait to see those ladies all growin up
Peace

 

[mjboy]

pmd you on GC. let me know

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Welp, the plants are huge now. Ended up with 8 females out of 13, not bad.

These are after an extensive pruning, cut about 10 branches off and a few HUGE leaves.

 

[HerbalRemedies]

What's up Jim!

Looking good *as usual*!

 

[Dödsknark]

Hey,

Your grow is looking very nice! I will definitely follow this. Sweet system you got as well.

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Hey Herbal! Thanks for droppin by man.

Thanks Dods. I got some updates to post in a little bit.

 

[Jim Dunlop]

I added another 400w in the room, much better coverage.

The improvement is uncompromised. Definitely one of the better ideas I've had in a while.

Here are some bud pics. Not sure on the days at the moment, I'll calculate them though. I forgot to take pics of the little clone, it's really stretching up.

The tall KB stopped stretching for the moment, I think it's done. It's about 37 inches. Flowered at about 10.

Everything is very green!

KB1 Top - this one is gonna be big

C99xBB clone - stretching steadily

PCxWW buds

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Check out http://www.hydrocanna.com, we're trying to get things up and running.

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Heres another update. Going to be about 4 weeks tomorrow. The one in the first pic is more like 2 going on 3 weeks.

This is KB3, late bloomer, but looking like it's going to be a very very nice plant, glad I cloned it. SATIVA PHENO.

KB1 - INDICA PHENO. You can tell the difference between KB3 and KB1.

Here's the middle Kushberry I didn't clone. I didn't like the stretch it had.

KB2 Top

C99xBB

 

[Jim Dunlop]

Here's an update, it's been a while. I should do some side by sides.

MACRO!

Here's the KB3 cola, 7 inches long, gonna be a fat one.

KB1 top

KB2 side buds

Cindy Blues

Here's a PCxWW plant that is refusing to grow fat buds. I think it hermied or something, I just can't get back there and look closely. It's pitiful
