Grape Krush 2 4-2-12

GK 2 4-2-1

It has taken me a minute to understand this strain.
She has a temper if ya tamper to much...

I now understand that less water and nuits are a much better way to go with her.

My soil mix is getting better for her as well. More perlite less moss blood meal, worm castings.

Used bat guano and molasses tea for watering one time before
I flushed her with 15 gal water a couple days ago.

I have learned a lot and wish I had more time to grow a couple more
right now.
I only have GK 3 left and I wish I had known more about my soil
before I set her in. Was a better mix Yet not the best.
Could re-pot without to much harm But I'm thinking I will just work on her as is. There is one last cut I am going to Bonsai as a mother. I might set a couple more cuts as back up as well.
Then there are the seeds I have going next to SSH from a male Mex-Bag seed ...

i think you'll see more gains with better food. you will sure appreciate that DJ short Grape Krush alot more with organics. im f'ing jealous that you have that strain. something needs to be tweaked tho for sure. you should really see bigger cola's than those pics, off of a 150w HPS.

Yep... Been a learning curve for sure... fun thou...

She got chewed by spider mites and a little over watered.
When I sprayed the mites she turned this funky grape fruit shade of pink.
Might have been the Cinnamon oil not sure.
The spray was all organic oil spray so I'm not worried and she didn't
fry,just changed color. Funky..

Update: 3-25-12

Update: 3-25-12

Update: 3-25-12

Watered all the ladys in the flower room.

I only used water to feed the last 2-3 weeks.

Today:

Feeding : 1/4 tsp M.O.A.B per Gal
1/2 tsp Hydroplex Bloom maximizer per Gal
1/8 cup Molasses's per Gal

Sprayed all Lady's & the room one more time for mite's.

Re thinking GK2:

I decided to feed her one more time and give her another week in the room.
She must have been stressed from heat and pest and just slowed growth for awhile.
I thought she would be cut by now yet looking at her she just screams more time.
Her hairs are all hardcore red yet her Trics and all clear and not all that much frost on her.
No Purps either.
So I will do a big time final flush ( I hope) at the end of the week and cut her maybe Tuesday.
Right at the end of flush( 15 gal flush )
I was thinking I will add Molasses's...
Thinking 8-days left


SSH 1:


Yep. Stressed a little. Taking it like a champ tho. Looking stronger the last
couple days and I am hoping the feeding will get her really going again.
Her Nugs are looking solid and semi large with good frost.
Thinking 3-4 weeks left


SourD 1:



Took the biggest hit by mite's. As of today she is almost recovered and looking tasty.
Not much frost going which I don't expect much on the strain.
Her bud clusters are fat and filling and I have a good feeling about her.
Thinking 3-4 weeks left

GK 3 :


Looking Good. Just the right size and filling in little by little.
She needsto be under the light better yet has to wait till her sister gets cut.

Thinking 6-7 weeks left

This may have been said, but I'm not going through all the random post with no info in here, so here it is:

IMO you must get the temps down if they are still anywhere near 110. They honestly don't look healthy at all, plus it really stresses the plant. Stresed plant= higher possibility of bugs, mold, etc.

I would bet you could remove some of those lights, and probably get a higher yield/ better smoke simply due to the lower temperature.

I'm no pro though and good luck. READ and you shall succeed.

Your right on about temps vs yield.
This grow has stayed in the low 80's and not all the CLF's are in the same place.
I had a micro seed grow, Veg room and flower room going at the same time.
They look burnt due to hardcore Oil spray I made for Mites.
Yep got to love the learning curve..

Side note:

I am trying to get the journal up to date by tonight.
Then will go back and post prior post with pictures.
so stay tuned...

Thanks fer looken bro. latz...

Picked Up the lamp shade for a buck at the swapmeet(flea market)

Right now it holds
CFL
2 X 65w/\ 300w each
3 X 26w/\100w each

I can add 6 more 26w if needed and I can raise and lower the center bulbs up to 3 feet.

Each power strip plugs into the next ending with one plug out.

The Room Redesign for Flower cycle only 3-26-12

The Room Redesign for Flower cycle only 3-26-12

I am setting up for my 2nd wave and no longer need a veg room.
I took the center wall out and cut a piece to make my new wall from it.
So now I have a 6'X7' space with barn door access( 2 doors ).
I am running the air from the scrubber to the same window as my intake air.
The hot vented air is above the window and the intake fan is on the other
side and just underneath the window.
I run my lights at night and figure the cool air will still make it into the room.
I will do a update soon.. ( SCROG 1st day Flower 3-27-12 )

I'm still lost when it comes to venting.
Thinking I need to focus on that next.

Any suggestion or incite would be appreciated...
Peace out y'all...
