INVB- Thanks dude, i seem to be healing up well. Cant ****in wait for snow now dude, thats all i do all winter so the faster it snows the happier I am. I got a buddy right now whos living in New Zealand right now, got to ride at snowpark , ****in had me reall jealous

Goat- Just ride where you can man, as long as you got a board and some snow there are possibilities

Soooo today is day 2 of flowering, and they are looking really good to me. They responded great to the Microblast and have proceeded to grow super fast.. Here are the pics.



































These are the next generation, i am picking up some more lights from a friend so i will have another grow area to complete soon but thats for another update. But for now look at these kids of mine







Should have a lot of work to keep me busy for the next couple of months, with classes starting in two days, the real world is coming back to the forefront now. But hey hopefully i will learn somethings this semester but who knows. Will update more as things occur. Hope everyone is well. Peace all...

[Core]

aaaah and new seedlings...right on bro !! ..still here lurking man

 

[Maj.PotHead]

things are looking good buddy

 

[RooR2theface]

sup brah, whatever happened to that outdoor patch u had goin? i assume they died because of where/what they were planted in.

 

[phatboyslim]

How did the grow bags work for ya?

The holes in mine came up the sides of the bag just a little to high which just made a mess whenever they were shifted.

 

[NorthernKronic]

Yo Yo YO whatsup guys

Grunt- Thanks grunt, yea things are back on track now, just lined up some more lighting on the cheap, getting it from a guy who is moving but doesnt want to take lights as he is afraid of transporting them... haha doesnt mean im not so im looking at $50 for a 400 hps ballast/reflector + i may be getting fans etc etc for free so ill update ya on what i grab. Def gonna need all this equip for the new kids.. got 23 kids that i need to take care of. Now take care brother.

Core- Yea dude there back and growin like crazy, each tip is growing at about 1.25" per day, so not to bad, should be like this for about the next 12 days. The problem ended up being a bad manganese deficiency. Got some ej microblast and it took care of the problem almost instantly. Yea got some new kids sprouting up everywhere... guess its time to expand the operation should have more interesting updates in the near future. take er easy

Maj- thanks for stoppin by budd

RooR2- Whatup my brotha down unda Yea dude didnt go and check on em for like a month, went back out there last week with the lady and found them to be about 14" tall and sparce in vegatation, so basically dead, i dont expect to harvest anything from them. All had to do with the soil, it was all sand pretty much and was super acidic, next spring i will make sure to go out there and do all the nessisary prep, i.e.- digging trench, 3' x 6' x 2'. lining the trench with plastic. and finally filling the trench with with my slow feed organic soil mix. Its gonna be a hell of a lot of dirt, but it should save me from having to go out and water much if at all. i think im gonna shut down the indoor setup in may, hopfully will be harvesting off about 1000 watts by then so i want to stash enough to last me the summer. Then just outdoor plants so i can travel without worrying. Cant wait to hear from you again bro, stay up on ic kneegrow. Peace son.

PhatBoi- hows it going dude, if you look back a ways in the journal you can see that i used grow bags (1 and 3 gallon). They worked great imo and are super cheap. They can be messy depending on how you like to water, this is because they drain so well imo. What worked for me was taking em to the tub to water so i could just let the runoff trickle right down the drain, hope thats what you were askin about.

Well guys, i got and hour and a half until my first class of the Semester.... ugh im not really feeling like going back to school yet, still feels like summer to me. guess its for the best though, temps are cool now so that makes my life a hell of a lot easier. Ill snap a few seedling pics today, and maybe some closet shots tonight if it is deserving. Hope everyone is healthy and happy and smoking on a very milky RooR. Peace all.

[Core]

mmmh i just thought you where underfeeding those baby's....its hard 2 define a manganese problem ....Nway if it affects new growth its mostly micronutrient probs and if older growth is affected its mostly a moblie prob..N-P-K ....
but its great you got'm going again...nice work bud

 

[StonedGrunt55]

Flower Day 5

Flower Day 5

Hey Guys

Core- whatup dude thanks for the props, yea finally got things running well again and im happy about that. Got new issues to deal with, they are not that serious just annoying, wont put the buds is danger. Keep it real son..

Grunt- Yea dude its a super good deal, should have gotten this equip like over a year ago since its just been collecting dust that whole time, just didnt know i had access. 400's are bomb dude, thats what I use, not technically a 400 watt hps but a 360 watt conversion bulb, it does the trick though. cant wait to get the real deal 400 hps going again though.. peace bro

Soo i got some pics from tonight.. Been real busy now that school is back in session, classes, homework, bongtokes... wheres there any time in the day for an update hehehe. well i finally found it Today is Day 5 of flower for the scrog bins in the closet. I was worried 5 days ago when i flipped that they wernt going to fill up 100% by the end of stretch, but as of right now i think i will have more shoots than i know what to do with in 10 days. Here are some pics from tonight... oh yea sorry bout the glow, got the hps back runnin again, shitty for pics, great for the plants hehehe




This is the M bin in the front right


These two are the Burmese delight bin on the front left




These next two are of the back bin with 2 m's in it.






And finally here are the seedlings, just starting on there second set of true leaves.



They are too stretchy for my liking, but its my own fault for not getting the light closet to them.

Now on to the bad news..... I have fungus gnats, what should i use to get rid of them, they seem to be crawling all over my soil, could i use like a cayanne pepper water mix and spray them, would that work???? I will certanly do more research before i take action, but i plan to beat these buggers quick

Thats all for now, will update when i see a signifigant difference in the look of the closet. Until then peace yall...

[Maj.PotHead]

hey buddy approx 10-14 days into 12/12 i'll cut every branch more then 3 inch below the screen, i do leave the good healthy fan leaves under screen. this helps to prune/clean up under screen and improve the air circulation mucho. i still have my screen i've been wanting to run it again

 

[StonedGrunt55]

Nice one bro, i got a feeling i'm gonna enjoy this show in just a few days u'r gonna see some pistils coming out. hope u'll have a bunch of girls goodluck!

Maj- Yea when stretch ends in about 9 days i will go under the screens and clip any popcorn sites/branches that don't reach through the screen, im gonna put another fan blowing underneath the screen to up the air flow down there, hopfully it will do the trick. Thanks for stoppin by dude, your help and advice is alway appreciated peace dude.

Grunt-Hey bro, should be getting real exciting soon. I know there all girls, there clones from my ladies last round, pistils should be showing up soon. Im Hyped!!!! haha

Flower Day 6 8-29-07

Flower Day 6 8-29-07

"Im high how are you, i mean hi how are you"... this is how one of my buddies answered his phone to interview for a study abroad program, needless to say hes a stoner, luckily he still made the cut : ... hes on the other side of the world right now, thats for you, you know who you are

Grunt- Yea should be rockin soon, pistils are poppin up everywhere now, ill have to get a pic of it tomorrow.

Sir- **** Yea dude, cant wait to have them safe and in my possession, until then i will obsessively check the mailbox every day hahaha. WW beans huh sounds sweet to me, ill make sure to be careful when i switch em to flower watch for those balls and nanners Should hopfully have some real good strains coming up thanks to friends like you. Your the illest bro thanks for stoppin by, ill smoke one 4 ya

Soooo today i did quite a bit of work on the closet. First off after classes today i went to the local drug store and got some mosquito dunks, 6 for like $9.99 not bad considering i only used half of one to cover all my scrog bins and all my seedling cups, this should take care of the gnat problem. Looked for no pest strips, but they didnt have em there, tomorrow or Friday im gonna go out to wallys world and pick some up, that should end this for good... i hope..


After crumbling and applying the dunks over every bit of soil i have, i fed the flowering plants with my early flower ej tea.
1tbl ej grow/gal
1tbl ej bloom/gal
1tsp ej catalyst/gal. The girls seem to like it, and im not seeing any of the yellowing problems that i had last grow at the beginning of flower, and thats good news Now for some bad news, upon futher inspection of the closet floor, i found quite a bit of standing water that was hidden in the folds of the floors plastic covering. So i ended up having to have my girl pull all the bins and crates from the closet, put em in the bedroom, help me pull up all the nasty ass black plastic with gnat spawn in it... gross. After pulling that all up, i went and taped the space blankets tight to the wall and then washed them with a diluted bleach solution. Next i had to lay down a new plastic floor covering, i decided that the black plastic was to hard to see leaks on, so i opted to use white trash bags instead, 30 min + sweat+ 4 white trash bags+ duct tape= a nicely covered floor, but with my back it was just a pain in the ass to be perfectly honest. But everything is clean now, and my gnat problem should be on its way out.. im crossin my fingers and then using them to buy some no-pest strips just to make sure...

When i was putting the bins back i relized that i could fit them better if i put all 3 of them going horizontally in the closet instead of 1 horizontal and two vertically spaced. So i had my girl re-arrange them and it looks like this will work much better, i could actually run another 10 gal bin under the light now because of this setup, that would require mounting fans on the walls, but that wouldnt be a problem, now i just have to get some clones from my friend and i might be able to have a bin of sage going very soon.... ohhh how sweet that would be.

Heres what the closet looks like after the rearrange




Here are some shots of the seedlings, im gonna prop em up tommorrow with barbeque squires or how ever you spell that. got to get em more light asap..




Heres an anomaly that i found today, apparently i have twins, take a look, i know its not common, but the runt isnt doing to badly, usually by now they are dead?


Well thats all for now, im tired from the hash. Peace all hope this wasnt to long of a for you guys. Hope all is well with yall

Plants are bouncing back good from that deff. you had NK good job figuring out what was wrong. You might want to get those sprouts closer to the light it will keeping them from stretching so much.
