Leetdood's growing struggles
- Thread starter leetdood

First tray is doing well. Just bleached some scalpel blades to sanitize for hlvd. Rinsed and dried them off. Need to pick up the pace the plants are *extremely* overgrown. I'm pretty caught up on watering so it's clones and defol today again. All the clones I've taken are doing well for the most (underdog didn't root.) And are adequately watered. It took a bit to get them all properly organized and easily accessible. Got the plants I need to clone all lined up.
After cloning and defol/cutback I need to sanitize the 4 inch pots.
Really struggling with the new rigid small dome by the way. Gary Payton is hanging on by a thread. It's so airtight I'm having to re learn the whole process for that type specifically. The sun blaster trays and lids are a loose fit so normal process there. Wipe down dome, open vents for increasing periods of time or gradually. Make sure plugs don't dry out.
All the cuttings look great also.
Gypsum Water Soluble | Black Swallow Living Soils, Brantford ON
Gypsum is a common hydrated calcium sulfate mineral. One of its benefits comes from its ability to break up heavy, compacted clay soils, as it can effectively change the soil structure of soils that have been compacted due to flooding, over cropping and heavy traffic.

Owen adds "Hey so I got some of your gypsum in and just did some testing. at 1 tbsp per 5 gal that works out to about 3 grams per Gal. The EC was about 1.0. for flush this ratio would work fine I'd even go as low as 2 g per Gal.
For just an addition of calcium into your feed I'd say even 1 gram per gallon. I'm going to come back to you around end of May and see how my flush does.
This is just a reference for anyone coming to you guys using rockwool and possibly needed some suggestions this may help them out."
So I got the info from here but also confirmed with farmer joe. He said he does last 10 days which tracks.
Fed Not HP13 and Strawberry Gary a gallon each. End runoff EC was about 2.6-2.8 with 1.75 EC going in (gypsum feed)
Day 62 flower I believe.
Strawberry Gary
As24
Wedding Cake. If you squint really hard you can see the triangle in it.
Sherb
Strawberry gary fading nicely. Almost ready for chop. Not HP13 too. Then Sherb and as24 at around day 70 or so.

Filled (ish) a 2nd sun blaster tray with clones. Need to make a list of everything I've taken rooted or not and see what's left. Gonna empty the floraflex trays into the mini trays and label em with painters tape. Dude on overgrow mentioned using paint tape for labels cause I complained my tape labels would always come off, and it's honestly been pretty clutch. They don't stick 100% of the time but it's thicker than masking tape and just adheres a lot better. Really clutch. I started taping the front bottom edge of the trays to label the rows after seeing homie Badd News do it. Need to show him how wicked awesome Tahoe is.
So empty the floraflex trays and sanitize and take clones of what's missing. I'm headed up to the city to get a new stainless steel muffler put on, so I'm gonna see if my grandma is down with me sanitizing my 4 inch pots in her double sink. Gonna transplant any rooted singles or any rooted clone in poor health to the 4 inches.
It's been a while since I stated my goal but here goes again: basically reset anything I can to clone and flower the plants out for medicine. Use beneficals to knock back or possibly eradicate the mite/thrip population. More likely they are an effective control measure but need more active predators for eradication, and less crowded foliage. Treat clones and small plants with IPM and clean up and organize my entire place.
Simply, ensure medicine supply then clean whole garden and place. Establish routine ipm. Improve tools, processes, and grow space.
So for now before I head up in hour and a half, water and check clones. After that, everything I mentioned and cutting plants back drastically since they are so overgrown. They have amazing healthy canopies but get crowded so the lowers get light deprived, and are too tall to flower. Because I've managed to do 5 trays of clones, and am caught up on flower and watering for the most, I can dedicate more time to that.
Scope Strawberry Gary and Not HP13 tomorrow I think. Should be day 65 flower and primo picking in theory. If they're ready, take pics, chop chop, hang up, about a week dry. I'm running low on bud so that would be nice. Not HP13 might be tricky to take out but I figure just chop SG then move sherb (front right) cake (center) and hiro4 (front middle) out of the way, and take it out, then put them back. Might be tricky but I think it's do able if I can support sherb from flopping outside the tent. Cake would for sure flop so I'd move it to the side inside the tent to where SG was.
Will try and take some nice pics for you guys if I can. Just been pretty busy and I haven't had days off in a long while. So I'm never sure what I'm up to but I just do what I can every day and take care of myself and tell myself that even if I have to physically wade through plants (yes) I'm getting there and having rooted clones and am about to harvest beautiful plants like look at that fade on strawberry gary it's like fall colors. Eventually I'll get to the point where I can start cleaning everything.

End of day 64 soon
GMO needs full PK and some cal nit still. Will be making 4.5 gal with 3.6g epsom, 8g cal nit, and 18g masterblend bloom, for those two.
Took some pics of the 2 gmo ladies. Not sure if I can get it to go 27 more days but we will see how it fades and swells. Once again forgive me for the pest damage.
Oh I got a load of those 4 inch pots washed, but not sanitized. Muffler is on my car though now, I checked
guys at the shop were nice. Don't think I've seen a shop before where everybody looks like a straight up mechanic but they did a great deal and put a nice stainless steel exhaust on. Rust up here in canada is a serious issue.
Pics galore

Made the GMO feed, will measure runoff when I can use shop vac (2.5 hours until quiet hours end, I try and be respectful to my downstairs neighbour)
Gonna continue watering plants, bit behind, but most of the clones are looking good. Gonna organize and make a list as I mentioned. Do have dentist at 11 but hoping to get good work done before and after. Some clones are taking off even though they're in plugs, with the constant/bottom feeding. So that needs attention during organizing and making the list. Chemdog clones likely need to go in the 4 inch pots, they don't really like the, how do I say, inconsistent access to nutrients. One guy online mentioned that chem doesn't like salt build up on its root tips. So while chem d likes a medium/regular level of light and nutrients (not modern full on push) and likes being fed regularly (not too wet, not too dry) oh heck now I'm thinking like
It lives in the goldilocks zone! Lol
So you can see how it wouldn't want too big of a container, but not too small. Basically everything has to be in the normal ranges. Kinda like bubba or irene, but more quick to lash out if somethings wrong. Irene will just stall out hard, bubba will stall a bit.
So those go in the 4 inches when I get them ready, etc.
Cut plants back then then sanitize trays to take more clones. Pretty sure there's a few still need taking, even if i got almost all of them. If I manage to get that organization and list done I'll post it.
Gonna stay up and scope strawberry gary most likely, at lights on, and harvest if it's ready. I failed to mention that the plants seem to be slowing down on uptake, my main assumption is this is because they're, aside from gmo, done with the bulking stage.
Edit: Some quick pics of sg I took via ig

Man stardawgs some good shit man
Got a bunch of that work to pop, so forth, I already mentioned some
So I know there's better cuts or phenos than Corey
But
Stardawg Corey just some regular good shit man. Rubber fire chem tire burning dank burning ya eyeballs but not putting you straight to sleep. As I mentioned above chem d a needy lady, but Corey? Corey's a great plant to run man, you can always do better and better, but it's pretty easy to run man.
I will say uhh some guys I know, actually, let me link my thing here...
So I've mentioned homie before.. and his partner/friend. So what I was gonna say, these dudes been running a Corey cross that they prefer over Corey. Again I think you can find phenos better than Corey. But if you look at the plant they run, the Corey heime 2, I'll find pics later, it's really nice looking and got that, see the name, heime rks, with the cheese, by pagoda seeds (seem like cool folks idk much tho) to make like cheddar skunk that's the dad. So Corey heime, it's stardawg but with that stinky cheese and I guess the Corey golfball style meeting the skunk bracts vs leaf ratio, if you know what I mean, it's got that gelato 33 Larry Bird look, good yield, beautiful green bracts, but a trimmers dream! But instead of g33 it's Corey heime with that chem n skunk Mashup.
So I like Corey it's real easy to run and reliable meds, but if you do it right, looks like you can find better. Gonna post pic i have on MacBook of illuminati stardawg also for fun.
Anyway I just love Corey it's great yet somehow functional smoke. Not everybody's into that "chemfusion" effect but I love it. Makes me feel slow but sometimes I just feel like I over think things.
Again not sure what I can link on here so just showing my ig with the badd news info to make it clear who I'm talking about. You can see Corey heime 2 mentioned as the mom to Wild Child, I think.
