Olddrifter's Chronic Grow

[olddrifter66]

Thanks SD...just good old training.
They are history. I don't want to take a chance and mess up my other ladies.
These are Chronic seeds from Serious Seeds. Bought off the Bay.
They do take a beating...

im currently growing the chron too, and singled out a pheno that is simply astonishing. almost perfect indica/sativa mix with a growth rate and appetite beyond anything ive seen before, even ak.

growing it out to be one lst monster, using dwc with canna nutes. if no one has used canna before, you might wanna jump on it. 10ml/gal with ro water and your ph doesnt even need to be adjusted, always at 6.5. which might be a little high in some experiences but it works. until i transplanted my little chron and had to root trim, every leaf was perfect; dark green and reaching for the hid. even though i recently think they've altered the profile of their solution, as before i could just top off resv with full strength and never burn the tips, whereas now with the veg formula full strength burned even the chronic, which is a notoriously heavy feeder. after reading the lucas thread, i decided to try a half veg/flowering solution and havent looked back since, which i use from start to 2 weeks before finish, then i gradually revert to plain water flush.

that plant you have bro is going to be a chron MONSTER! how are you going to support the branches after flowering?

very healthy looking plants.
Can I ask what your total veg time was?

 

[olddrifter66]

ima, I will put the whole bag in a crate and put stakes around it.

fluke, I think like 2-1-09 under floros. I kept them short while I lst'd them.

I was given a topped Chronic plant from a friend, it didn't respond well at first, I read that it doesn't respond well to topping, for multiple bud sites. It is awesome because now it has 4-6 main colas instead of the normal single cola. It hasn't stretched at all in flowering, but it's starting to pack on the bud, and trics big time. They are also starting to smell like skunk, lemon, and pine all put in 1! It is unreal, I also have CRITICAL MASS, and a mutant BLUEBERRY given from my friend as well, the CM is just what it says critical mass huge, smells unreal of fruit, and is a fast flowering plant they all were flipped at the same time, and the CM is double the size in everyway! here are the pics of my CHRONIC, and CM they are at day 13 flower 12/12, and then day 20 of flowering with a new camera 10.1 megapixil.

I also popped some chronic seeds and have just put them on full nutes in veg, can't wait to see how yours turn out!!!

Stevius, keico thanks a lot. I started playin with the idea after seeing what zoolander/leonidas/.... did with the sour bubble. I really like the time spent with the ladies during these sessions and they seem to flourish from it. I will be updating soon, just been a little busy is all. thanks again.

J2...nice pics. Those are some nice plants and looks like you will be swimmin in sticky goodness.
While I havent finished my first experience with them, I don't see any negatives from creating multi-sites. Yours don't look to be suffering either so I go with what I think I can do instead of what people say I can't.

socialist, put up some pics bro...I would love to see em. Stick around and I promise that if everything stays status quo, then you will see em finish.

Sorry it took me so long to post mine up, here they are! Thanks for the update olddrifter

They were serious seeds off the bay as well. I popped them in a paper towel and transplanted to rapid rooters immediately into a tray with ph water. After 3 weeks or so they threw there third set of leaves so they were transplanted into 3" net pots with Hydroton in to my DWC veg tub under a 4 bulb 4' t5 with 6400k bulbs. I'm using GH 3-part at 8ml-8ml-8ml per gallon. theyre about 4 weeks old now and there starting to grow pretty well in the past 2 days.

 

[olddrifter66]

Looking good soc. What is your ph?

 

[socialist]

I start them out at 5.5-5.6 then dont adjust ph till res change. By then its about 6.0-6.2
