1st Grow With Big Bud And Crystal

[pigpen]

what was the surgery for bud hope u feel better. From what I here putting the plants into darkness for 36 hours resets there internal clock to make them flower quicker and transishon better. Tetra can u spread any insight on the issue?

Well my surgery was just a nether cancer surgery..removeing cancer cell's on and neer my spine.. well i think your right it mite make them transishon into flowering a little faster.....see when the light switches it trigger's a harmone in the cell's of the plant's.. and this can only happen when the light get's down below 12hrs of light per day so more darkness can only help.. i was going to do this i WAS TALKING to T.C.H. about this..but i dont do it so y start something am not use to... so thank for asking and get home safe to your girl's... later bud...

Man Im dieng not knowing how they are doing its driving me crazy!!!! I get back thursday afternoon so I will know for sure by then. but I have the timer set so that they go into 36 hours of darkness on wed morning. Do you recomend any carbohydrate additives like heavy weight or sweet by bonicare?

Also my mom is a oncology nurse so if you ever need anything Im full of noledge on the subject. Hope you are feeling better man Caner is a real bitch.

The Sweet is just Epsom salt with sugar, IDK about Heavy Weight.
DOC you use Carbo-load ??
I'm not big on the sugar scene, ever smell sugar burning, yuk.

 

[pigpen]

cool I really wana go to boston really bad so if I ever do make the trip up there Ill make sure to let you know. I couldnt even imagine what you go through man im only 20 and wouldnt even know how to deal with it. But hey man I had an idea that maby me you and tetra hot house and mared might wana all grow the same strain so if I get some seeds would you be down to do a grow and start at the same day so we can all grow at the same time and compare? What would you wana grow?

 

[da plantDOC]

WELL CAROB'S IS SOMETHING I ADD AT THE LAST 4-5 WEEK'S WHEN THEY NEED A LITTLE EXTRA... THEY USE 80% OF ALL OF THE CARBO'S WITHIN THE FIRST 5 WEEK'S OF THE PLANT'S LIFE... I TOOK A LITTLE SIP OF THE CARBOLOAD AND IT WAS NOT SWEET AT ALL... DOME ME...

[pigpen]

hey doc Yeah I do plan to dwitch to coco for the flowering stage. but I also plan to put a couple in hydroton to c what method I like better. I forgot to tell you guys Im not going to do the 36 hours of darkness but going to give them 3 days of bushmaster (took back the phosopload for it) and also picked up some ona and Carboload and stuff for cutting cloans. I figure Ill try cutting a couple and if they live they live. Not home yet my girl made us stay a little longer in NC but I dont mind because my theory on just let them b seems to be working good. Hope you are feeling better doc
Peace

how are they getting water... and how long have you been gone...i would be nerves thay use alot of water whey they start getting 1 mounth..

da plantDOC SO HOW'S DAD FEELING.. THE POOR MAN... I KNOW WHAT HE FEEL'S LIKE...

 

[pigpen]

Hes good man pet scan 2maro to see if the cancer has totaly gone back into remission. He is kinda grumpy though cause he is on a lot of sterioids.
I left the girls in a 20 gal res I hope they have enough water man but know that you mention it I am a little scared that they might be drying up. Ill know on sunday when I come back for sure. How long can plants go without water?

 

[da plantDOC]

NOT TOO LONG IN A HYDRO SET UP..2 DAY TOP'S WITH NO WATER.. SEE I GROW IN 5 GAL'S SOIL SO SOMETIME I CAN GO7-8- DAY'S WITH NO WATER.. BUT YOUR ALSO IN A HUMID PLACE SO THAT DOSE NOT HELP... SO DID YOU POOT THE PLANT'S IN 20 GAL OF WATER OR HOW DID THAT WORK.. da plantDOC

 

[hothousemary]

Your still in veg arent ya pp?? if so I think you will probably be fine! I ran 8 gal rez through my veg changing once a week and never had the rez run close to dry..

 

[pigpen]

Yeah they are on a drip system still in veg They are going to be trees by the time I get back. The total time they will veg is going to be around 6 weeks and I here thats a lot for big bud and crystal so i might have some monstors. I have 9 feet of height though so Im not 2 worried. The way my hydro system works doc is I have them on a timer to get driped on 3 times a day for 15 min.

 

[hothousemary]

Man i cant wait for you to get back so we can see some pics! This has been like a cliffhanger on your favorite tv show! lol
