Perpetual 4x4 1k coco tent too many strains!

[phattybudz]

Here is week 1 in my first run of H&G nutes.
Drain to waste canna coco, 30 plants in a 4x4 under 1k.
Trainwreck, great white shark, cheese, and lemon skunk from greenhouse seeds, hashplant from CH9 seeds, powerhouse from grindhouse seeds, and sour diesel and af-pak from a local grower. I'm probably going to run mostly powerhouse, cut out sour diesel and af-pak, and test the rest of those seed strains. Going to try and cut down to 2 strains eventually but it's so hard I want to collect and smoke them all!

Awesome lineup of strains!!!

Variety is key.... I'll be watching good job

Trainwreck

Powerhouse

Great white shark

Hashplant

Thanks for the interest guys, they are looking pretty good I am beating back spider mites and fungus gnats pretty hard right now but I think the tide is turning. And no more bud rot or pm since I've had a dehumidifier in the room. I've also got a 28 site aero cloner working now so no more rapid rooters and humidity domes for me. I'm hoping for a pound+, think I'll hit it? Oh yeah it's actually only 27 plants, not 30.

 

[farroutfred]

what method are you using against the spider mite and fungus gnat population ? also why the h &g nutrient choice ?

 

[phattybudz]

Hey Fred,

man spider mites are such a bitch, seriously. Worst thing ever... my roommate had webs on some of his shit he didn't even see (his eyes aren't that great.) Bombs work the best if you use them 3 days apart and then use floramite, it's the only thing that's worked so far (I also have zero tolerance but I haven't used it yet because the floramite worked...)

for the fungus gnats I'm using gnatrol and dont bug me spray by foxfarms for the adults buzzin' around... it took a hard fight but they're under control and on the way to eradication now.

H&G nutes are apparently "The Shit," coming from the best growers I know in person and on this site as well. I'm having a few nute burn and deficiency issues right now, but that's because I'm doing a whole bunch of different stuff; once I narrow it down to 1 or 2 strains I'll be able to fine tune it a bit better hopefully. It's mostly full in there, though it will be better this next time because I have plenty of veggies that will be going at least another month and a half

Here's the start of week 5 in the back and week 4 in the front, and a bad shot of the great white shark (it doesn't do it justice, this cola is going to be the length of my arm I think.)



You can see a little bit of the rust-colored burning I'm getting on there... it's minor but I think I'm going to feed plain water every other watering starting in week 4 from now on.

Well, I wanted to post up some new pics but Icmag's gallery is only accepting files under 150kb now? And at that file size the pics are small and shitty...



Can anyone shed some light for me?

yo phattybudz, I'm not sure if youre on mac or pc but for windows try Microsoft's image resizer tool found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx
Look on the right side column for imageresizer.exe and choose Run and install it.
You can now right click on a photo you took and choose 'Resize Pictures' from the menu. When I choose the 'Large(fits a 1024x768 screen)' they are decent size and acceptable by the uploader.

Hope this helps and we can see some pics!

Yeah check to see if you have a photo-editing program on your computer, I have Adobe photoshop and another that came with my computer so you may have one you don't know about..... I'll be watching your thread, hope you can figure out the pic thing, it took me a bit to figure it out as well.

Sweet thanks, Image resizer works perfectly. Check out week 8 in the back week 7 in the front As usual I've been battling fungus gnats, spider mites, powdery mildew, and bud rot. This is what happens when you put this many plants this close together with this little airflow at 60% +RH. Anyways, the spider mites and fungus gnats are under check, but the powdery mildew is hitting some lower budsites pretty hard and on upper leaves too... which sucks. Overall I'm pretty happy but next time will be better (I always say that...)

Here's a shot of the canopy:

Here's Greenhouse seeds lemon skunk (not impressed, didn't take clones.)

Here's amethyst up front and 2 different female CH9 hashplant phenotypes in the back there. Amethyst is pretty much the bell of the ball, as you can see she's mostly done at the start of week 8, exotic and purple.

Hashplant: I'm stoked to try these but I'm thinking they're too mold prone... not sure yet, we will see how dank they turn out.

An extinct powerhouse phenotype that had some bud rot in it Here's the powerhouse I'm going to keep, but I didn't veg this one for very long...

Here's Greenhouse seeds great white shark This thing is fat but I kind of fucked up the nutes somehow... I will try more of these for sure because it is a REALLY long fat compact cola with barely any side shit, very tight.

Granddaddy purple seed from a hermie clone: She looks perty and fat, too bad I didn't clone her!

Greenhouse trainwreck HERMIE! I'm letting her go because I don't have a separate drying space right now and I have to chop it all at once... on the plus side I'm hoping some pollen gets on the great white shark or hashplant! She looks really dank though... hopefully my other clones of her don't hermie (I'm hoping it was stress due to nutes...)

Shots of the almost finished canopy, and the veggies for next run. Some stuff is getting cut early due to powdery mildew..! Next time I'm going overkill on the fans, doing a bigger space and cutting the shit out of all the lower branches.

What did you have for airflow this time around?
