Nipple's First Grow in 7 years...

[Dr Dog]

Yes I have to agree with everyone in here, you have some very healthy looking plants, very nice set up
I love the fact that you have still so much room to expand, good work Nipple

Hi nipple ,i followed your path I cant wait to see some skunk haze in full bloom.How did they react to the topping?What are you feeding them?

All plants look healthy,very nice.

You can't wait to see the skunk haze building mega-nugs? How do you think I feel?

I haven't smoked anything in over 7 years now, so you can imagine what it's like to be growing and drooling hehe

All plants have reacted fine to being topped, even though I topped them a bit late....I just didn't have funds to buy more cubes and cloning gel with everything being put into the grow-room build *wink*

It'll all work out, I used the tops as clones and they seem to have taken. In fact all 28 cuttings seem to be doing fine

That's a first for me lol

I'm running Canna...

- Pure Coco (50L bags)
- Parts A+B @ 3mL/L
- Rhizotronic @ 0.5mL/L
- Cannazyme @ 2mL/L
- and have some PK 13/14 @ 1.5mL/L -- ready to add for when we see small bud development
- tap water (just bought a truncheon which is due today or tomorrow)
- pH @ approx. 6.0 (using a basic drops test kit)

Thanks for dropping by

Thanks for that Doc Dawwg. Man although I find the build stressful (like finding out I trimmed panda film too short on a certain wall) at times, I'm really enjoying watching it come together too.

It's very cool to look back to page 1 of the diary and see where I was, what I was thinking and so on, and what I've learnt along the way.

All good fun

Hey Nipplecrippler

I just got a pack of the O*Haze x Skunk 1 as freebeis as well. Glad to see someone that has the room to really give these girls a good run. Ive hear these could be a 16 week+ flowering strain... I hope I can give these a run soon. I hear the potency is supposed to be out of this world, and if I can find one of those super potent phenos you better beleive its staying in my garden

The gals all look great, Ill be following this one closely

Yeah baby!! Now where's that George Castanza emoticon got to?

Man I go in the flower room and find myself just wanting to stay there, it's a hard thing to leave the girls heh

I don't know if I have a super-potent pheno of this haze skunk cross or not, but this little runt is so so stinky with extremely short node lengths and originally looked like it wasn't gonna make it but it's going really well now, though still extremely short.

I hope lil' runt turns out female. I can see some pre-flowers on most of the plants now, just have to wait a little while longer as I don't have me a loupe to see more clearly.

The Courier arrived yesterday....







1200W Goodness

I have quite a bit of work to do in that room over next few days, I have to get these ballasts safely up high, and line the walls with panda film.

Also, I need to get my clones out of my humidi-thingo as I just picked up some great seeds I've promised someone to get happening asap.

They're soaking now, so in next couple of days I'll be needing that dome

Peace.

Looks nice NC!!! I'll be keeping an eye on this one

Hey nipplecrippler, lol... can't help but think how on earth would one get a crippled nipple... well... your grow is coming together pretty good. 1200w! now your rockin' my friend!

Yeah Mary I Wanna Pixie but you probably live overseas =p

The show just took a bit of a dive

Out of my 4 Holy Grails 3 are Males grrrrr

HG # 2,3 & 4 are the Biggest Losers.
HG # 1 is super stretchy and t3h winn4h! She smells sweet n stanky too.

All I have is pre-flowers but the big flowers'll be here real soon, so y'all come right back now y'here?

Man you need to know something you go ask the search engine and see what she has to say

"nipple cripple" result for Google

When I went to school a "nipple cripple" usually caught you unawares by your friends, or was executed by the school bully on every guy too slow to run away from him. It involves the catching of a recipient's nipple between thumb and forefinger, and squeezing and twisting it until your opponent cries "Uncle!" or just cries lol

It was a bit of fun from my school-boy years and despite being a blood blister on your nipple and surrounding tissue if the "nipplecrippler" is getting carried away with his/her fun, it was usually disengaged quickly after you'd copped one or two of 'em

Back On Topic heh....I just lost 3 of my 7 plants to to their showing me their nads, which is meaning I'll turn of those 600 watters off until I have something else to put in the room.

I can't really see 1200W for a 4 plant grow would be a wise spending of planetary resources

Say Goodbye to The Three Stooges

Say Goodbye to The Three Stooges

The Holy Grail seemed to give me 2 different phenos. These boys were all pretty much uniform, shorter distance between nodes, very similar smell, quite fruity and mild, in comparison to the 2nd pheno, the female.

She is outstretching the skunk X haze I'm running too, longer node distances than even the skunk haze and way more so than her HG brothers. And she smells like a bad girl should

Great job man!

PLants look real healthy and should be big yeilds

Looks fire and maybe throw the other 600 in? You just feel its a waste right? COuld be true but maybe itll make um twice as big! MUHAHA

GOod luck and do what feels right +++

 

[GET MO]

Heya Big , I did like you said, I'm running 2 plants per light at the moment, and getting sunbleach spots

heh not many though, so I've moved lights a few more inches away and watch what happens now. Lights are now a minimum 12" away.

The newest leaves seem to be suffering from some minor Mag deficiency -

My camera sux, they don't actually look quite so yellow all over leaf)

Having read through mynamestitch's sticky on sick plants it looks like I may be a tad low in pH. I only have one of those drop test kits so it isn't as accurate as I'd hoped. I'm not even sure if it's mag def, but looking at his pics my leaves resemble mag def more than any others I've seen there.
He says...

Magnesium gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 2.0-5.7
Magnesium is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 5.8-9.1
Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0

In fact the more I look at his the more I'm unsure.

The outer edges of these leaves are dark and nice but the inner areas are light, almost yellow

I flushed all 4 today and will begin with a fresh nute solution tomorrow.

Maybe too much light. Brb....

heh yeah man, 3 males lmao

Oh well, at least I got 1 female, it coulda been worse I guess

maybe a bit of light bleech on virgin growth?

even with 600s ive noticed this on a few occassions if i dont use a heat/gaurd spreader in the early stages.

anyways, looks a cracking room full of high grade genetics, those gals look lush!

il be watching man, bests with the comeback

Thanks for your thoughts Huff & Puff.

Yep this is what I've been thinking it might be, I haven't experienced this before in my previous grows and have only just discovered internet sharing of information on this topic, so haven't really seen this exact condition before.

I was running the lights maybe 8-10 inches from canopy, using my hand as a measure of temps, which wasn't very hot at all, and thought this ok (using forum threads I've read on distances between 600W lights and canopy as a guide).

But now I think perhaps because I have only 2 plants per 600W light that they may be getting a bit too much, so moved them further away.

Hmmmmmmm.......

 

[southflorida]

nipple...i liked how you showed the grow room in progress...good luck with the rest of your growing...will definately be checking back on your grows including the blue sonja you are running

I think your right on the money brother, im asumeing these are new bulbs! and with most lamps these days there very intence when new, your also useing a dam good shade to reflect the lums, and even with good temps in the canopy newer growth can suffer radiation burn from strong growlights, probably wont happen next time when the lamps seen some ware.

bests to you m8, keep us updated.
