Grape Krush 4 Shortz... 4-16-12

Grape Krush 4 Shortz... 4-16-12

She is a little flower child lol
Not sure what to do with her.

[*]The GK seed lady Died and I need to pull her tonight.

[*]She is brown/dead yet has some seeds hanging.
[*]Any chance these are still good ?
[*]I'll pull and picture a little later.

I'm thinking I will grow GK4 in its own pot and seed her out.
I don't have the time to grow any more after 2nd wave so I really
want Grape Krush seeds for next winters grow.

The room before & after 4-16-12

The room before & after 4-16-12

When I walked into the room this morning it dawned on me how bad the room looked.
The crack on the floor was all I could take.

Decided to work on the Lady's and then clean up.
20 minutes before lights out.

Then I lifted the top tarp and found black mold.

Yep...Chit.
So I took everything out,pulled floor to last plastic cover which
had black mold spots. Sprays with bleach mix-waited 10 minutes
then cleaned up with a towel. One last lite spray with bleach mix and 10 more minutes.
All said and done.
I caught it in time and no harm no foul-lesson learned.

Ladys only lost 1 hour of dark so not worried.

Don't place a blanket between 2 tarps for a flooring. Yep. ( I know )
All I will say is I was well medicated.

I need a drain set up.

Grape Krush Seed 4-16-12

Anyone know if these might still be good?
My guess would be the 6 seed in 1st pic are viable.
Do I cure them the same as nugs?(jar and such)
Do they need time in the cooler or freezer like other seeds?

SourD 4-16-12
Directly under: 3x64w cfl (192 True watt-900 Equivalent watt)

She slowed her growth for just a day or so after cutting 5 of her Colas,taking 38.5g off her top a little early.
As of 4-16-12 She is filling in and I see a touch of frost for the first time. She has a few seeds here and there.
Yet she seems to keep it to herself so I'm good and I want seed for later. Win-Win
I fed her
Per Gal. Added:
1/4 tbs M.O.A.B
1/4tsp Hydroplex Bloom maximizer
1/8 cup Molasses
On 4-12-12
I check pH before I use. I like it at 6.5-ish
Otherwise I have been watering every 4-5 days with just water.
Last water was 4-16-12

PLAN:
I will just keep watering with just water from now on and try to
add molasses on the last watering.
Not sure how long till she is cut,
I feel she has just started to really show herself.

Super silver haze 1:
Directly under: 2x64w cfl (128 True watt-600 Equivalent watt)

I fed her
Per Gal. Added:
1/4 tbs M.O.A.B
1/4tsp Hydroplex Bloom maximizer
1/8 cup Molasses
On 4-12-12

She Has recovered nicely.
Her fan leaves show the scares yet her new growth
looks healthy and she has filled in & showing a nice layer of frost.
She is a fighter and seems to be getting close to climax.

PLAN:

Watering the same as above.
I need to get at least 2 more watering in since I fed her and
that means 8 days at least. I would think she will be way ready by then.
Even her lower buds are filling in now.
Lots of frost yet no amber and still clear.
Taking her one nug at a time.


SCROG 1 4-16-12
Day 22 flowering
Directly under: 6x26w cfl (152 True watt-600 Equivalent watt)

Large moss content means I only water every 6-10 days. 1-2 gallons
(Thinking this cant be good and will do something to get better dry soil times)
More holes on sides and make a 1 in perlite filled hole in the center of the pots.
Going to use a 1" PVC pipe to make the hole around 3\4 way down the soil.
Then fill with perlite.
Thinking better air flow mean faster drying,more feeding, root growth due to
chasing water and since I run air under the canopy she will have better humidity levels.
Worried about root rot in the long term as well.

Every other watering has been

Per Gal. Added: 2 1/2 TBSP Guano -Soaking 48 hours-Then-
1/4 tbs M.O.A.B
1/2 tsp Hydroplex Bloom maximizer
1/8 cup Molasses

I check pH before I use. I like it at 6.5-ish

There are only 2 SSH in this pot and they are growing fast.
No signs of stress.
Filled around 60% of net and all growth still under.
4-16 I trimmed her under growth a little. Great stem structure.
Lots of Growth.


SCROG 2 4-16-12
Day 22 flowering
Directly under: 9x26w cfl (234 True watt-900 Equivalent watt)

There are 3 HHS and 2 SourD Lady's in this pot.
All look really health and have great growth.
Top cut all Lady's and can see the growth exploding under her canopy.
This is going to be a monster,
4-16-12 I trimmed her under growth a little. Great stem structure.
Lots of Growth.
All growth still under the net and it is around 90% filled.

Super Silver Haze (Training Lady's 1 & 2) 4-16-12

Directly under shared : 6x26w cfl (156 True watt-600 Equivalent watt)

Per Gal. Added: 2 1/2 TBSP Guano -Soaking 48 hours-Then-
1/4 tbs M.O.A.B
1/2 tsp Hydroplex Bloom maximizer
1/8 cup Molasses
Watering every 6-8 days.

Training 1:
Good growth. No sign of stress. She has around 80% of her pot covered.
Taking the training like a champ.

Training 2:
Great growth. No sign of stress. Covered her pot 105% and growing
like crazy. Talking 1-2" a day easy. Training new growth around the
edge of the pot.

Plan.

Just keep doing what I am doing.
Trying to stall the upward growth as long as I can.


Seed grow: (1 Bag Boy seed Sativa)- (1 Super silver haze seed)
Day 57 flowering
Directly under shared : 10x26w cfl (260 True watt-1000 Equivalent watt)

(Grape Krush seed Died)
Turns out GK can not take the water and Nuits that the SSH likes.
Lesson learned.

Still a have some seed from her though I m not sure they are viable.

I am going to replace GK seed with GK 4 Shortz and seed her
yet keep her in a separate pot with much better soil mix.

Seed grow-
Together I feed just water for the most part though
I have put half gallon left over Nuit mix in from time to time.
Other than topping and Training once I have not looked at her much.
I look in on her every 4-5 days.

6x Cloned SSH in soil- Vegging well-thinking lite nuit feeding might be a good idea(very lite)
Moving around as well as inside outside,trying to keep lite on them all day and nite &
harden them up for summer. I might start training a couple fast growers.

New 6 Lady's summer set up 4-12-12
Summer Grow set up-

Waiting for SSH in soil to grow better root system.


Still to come:
Thinking about all this light
What to do now
What was I thinking>joke<
I am going to try and get some more useful info up
Yep, time fer a break..

 

[yeps420]

Yep-The Numbers :

The Goal- 42g per 64w = 0.65g per watt
Total Watts 1406w
Math(21.96) 22 x 64 = 1406
42 x 22 = 924g needed total..
Total Plants 14
Math says A 66g per lady average is needed..

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grape Krush-- 2 Cut dried--1 (4-5 weeks)from cut. = 3
Super silver haze-- 1 Ready to cut anytime-- 2 training-5 in SCROG(6-7 wees from cut) = 8
SSH seed--- 1 (4-5 weeks to cut) = 1
Bag boy seed--- 1 (4-5 weeks to cut) = 1
Grape Krush 4 seed 1 (6-8 weeks to cut) = 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Grow Room:
CFL-true watts

64w x 5 = 320w
26w x 26 = 676w
150 hps = 150w

total=1146 true watt

Seed Grow:
CFL-true watts

26w x 10 = 260w

Total light= 1406 true watts ( 5250 equivalent watts)


Anyone know the total lumes ?

The HPS 150w is up against the ceiling and for the most part is shared by the 4 main Lady's.
I only have 2700k/6500k spectrum cfl and I would need 3500k/4200k to get what i would need.
with out this high hanging hsp. besides I already had it and why not. lol

I have not used it for a single Lady's grow or moved its height or position more than 2 time this grow.
The reason I am not trying to use it more is heat. I tried to cool it in the begging to no avail so
I just put it up high and move the Lady's around every couple weeks.


Heat/Vent:

4" inline fan with scrubber x 1
14" floor fans x 2
Cool air humidity floor fan x 2
6" desk fan x 1

lights on temps:

80% of the time between 78-84*
20% between 85-91*

Depending on outside temps

The main grow space is 5' x 7'
seed grow 2.5' x 4'

Issues so far:

I have lost 5 Grape Krush Lady's that were in soil.
one spider mite attack
2-3 heat waves due to this and that
1 Miracle grow slow release nuits nuke burn


Not counting the 6 summer SSH mother / bonsai in the my total goal yield count.


Then again, things can always change.... Yep....
