midwest growers unite

[Retardo Motabon]

You bet Bird I'll be down with my tools. Do I have to claim it in my taxes as income from the railroad? Shame about the OTM, I really wanna try that one, especially after getting "O'hare'd" on my two packs of it this summer!

 

[astartes]

Oh no! The OTM died! What are we all gonna do, lol?!?! I have some Jackie-O x OTM beans, maybe an OTM dom pheno is lurking in there... Anyone feel like finding her?

gettin bigger

gettin bigger

Lil update for you fellas. 40 days of flower here and they are getting BIG. Some of the tops from the main sten are almost as big as coke cans at 40 days[pics dont do it justice]. Other braches as you can see are really big to for thier age i think. Did have another problem this grow though. As i was changin out the solution after the phosphoload I dropped my PPM meter in the rez and it fried. So i just went with what i thought would be right untill my new meter arrived. BAD IDEA. When it got here PPM's were through the roof 2400. WoW they did'nt care for that. Got some nute burn but did'nt really seem to affect em much.

As for the ak's i started. They all were showing a tap root in the paper towel within 48 hours. Here they are i think about a week from opening the seed pack. Some WW clones in the back groung there. Im trying to get those clones and the new ak's about the same size when this run is done. So they can all go in flower together. Enough talk here they are...lol








...leaf curl on that one plant never did go away












What do you all think?...lets hear it fellas

 

[abirdintheair]

looking good orion, scroggin along nicely.

hey astartes, ive heard of jackie psd, but not jackie-o. wait, is that a uk clone only?

 

[lostinethereal]

What's up Midwest? Everyone staying dry out there? Been rainy and wet for a few days now here in Nebraska.

@Bird: That's a shame about your OTM, at least the others are doing alright. I don't feel like finding my trimmers, but I would take a picture of them in hand to answer your question : No OTM, but I think you may know what this is




@Orioin: Those plants look pretty nice, but is there any way you could take them without the lights on, it's hard to tell how they look with the overall orange color of the photos? That's a pretty ferocious leaf curl ya got on one of those girls. I don't know much about your grow, I'll have to read back some pages and check it out.


And aside from that picture above sorta directed towards bird, here are a couple of shots of some real genetics to play with this time. Thanks so much, you know who you are

First a couple of Cannacopia - Pommelo seedlings, there's also going to be some test growers for Cannacopia seeds here on IC so be sure to check them out when they get started. I don't mean to advertise or anything but there was all this BS about HD (sorta) and cannacopia and now people are going to test them out so the naysayers can STFU.




And a Mandala's Hashberry F2 seedling for comparison

 

[Bababooey]

Luaith: Those Alpha Diesels are indeed all the way back. You gonna take clones of those or put them straight into flower?

ABITA: You tried your best to get those cuttings to root. Probably they couldn't have been saved by anyone. Sounds like you've still got a lot of good things to look forward to: The G13 Burmese and Banana OG kush, plus a trainwreck harvest. Bet you won't even be missing the OTM that much...

Orion: You don't get the full effect with the HPS orange (I think if you search there's a thread on how to remove that, you might need photoshop though) but it's easy to tell that the ladies are progressing along very nicely. Screen filled up, is that 10 inches to the top of the screen or to the top of the pot?
Looking at that, I think it'll be an elbow easy. But you never know till chop... Only bad thing with all that green is all the trimming you'll have to do. That's like 20-30 big colas we're talking about. Be prepared for a sore thumb.

It's gonna be a challenge to get the AK and WW the same size for the next run, the AK are way behind. Let us know how you're going to get around that.

LIE: I'm interested in how good the cannacopia genetics are. Aren't they based out of spain, or am i thinking of the wrong company? I know hd is in canada... I hear spain is very lenient towards cannabis growers, in some parts isn't it basically tolerated? It'd be easier to do breeding in a place like that I would think, just cause you need high plant numbers for a decent selection...

Hey Hey Bird!

A TW trim party you say? I'm game, lol! Jackie O is a old school Jack Herer mom crossed to Cali Orange. I have the jackie psd too. One of the lucky three on seedbay!

[luaith]

looking great Orion..any pics with the sodium off??

BaBa...yep their both going to be flowered.
never grew out a Rez strain so it should be different.

finally won my war with the gnat propblem i was having.
just let the cups go bone dry...didnt even need the earth dust i ordered.but once i trans i propbaly will dust em.
once all preflowers show i'l change to multiple gallon containers...
should be soon!

 

[luaith]

just noticed one of the SSS has three leaf sites per internode,rather then the 2 i usually see..
thats cool...another mutant..

 

[astartes]

A SSH mutant? Damn, can't wait to see that be grown out luaith! Should be pretty spectacular!

[abirdintheair]

jackie-o sounds killer. i forgot astartes that me and you were 2 of the 3 that got jackie psd looking good with those seedlings ethereal, they wont stretch much at the flip, and the MSG mom's stalk was too thick to respond to LST, so top/FIM when possible and give em a decent veg if you can.

 

[orion6324]

wow

wow

Buds the size of coke cans at 40 days and all i get is that the pics suck basically. Wow you guys are tough

This is a tough forum, lol.
I don't even post many shots of my closet, just cause there ain't much to look at, what with the overnuting and peat pot problems I had.
In a month or two, when there's more to see, something on the order of what you have, I'll definitely have some impressive shots.
We're giving you a hard time with the HPS orange only because it's hard to see the lush green and the frostiness of those beautiful widows you have. But I understand it's hard for you to take shots if you don't want to turn the lights off or do it during their dark cycle. No prob. They'll keep on getting fatter and fatter. Pretty soon you'll be holding up a two liter for comparison.
BTW, you still using the phosphoload?

 

[orion6324]

ok again the phosphoload is put in the rez at 2ml per gallon and run for 2 days ONLY at 3 weeks flower and then rez is changed. So no im not still useing it they have'nt seen it since then. So long midwest

 

[mrred]

midwest here

i see 2 of us sending good complements your way before that was posted, so i dont understand the hosility. but look at it this way, your the only one scroggin in the group it looks like, so that means you set the bar for anyone else to scrog up to. as far as the hps orange meh it happens

 

[Retardo Motabon]

Wassup mrred, welcome!
Orion i was commenting after you posted ysTday and lost my connection. Too lazy to post it again! I think your scrog is looking great. Yes a lotta upper leaf curl, but hey all your pistils are white and kicking. People just want a better look at the girls, the hps makes details hard to see. It is my firm belief that one should never shy away from pics of their garden due to fear of unacceptance. Everyone wants to show the kill, most hide their work when its not pitch perfect. i have alot of respect for those that will show the good and the bad. It's more real that way and the chances of getting positive direction and improvement from others is much higher. Don't get me wrong, I think your scrog looks like its going to treat you real good in several weeks! You're jaw would drop at what absolute crap my first years plants looked. Granted there were no internet forums, content or public internet back then! Keep it coming I say, its all good.
