Happy 4/20 yall

Will do an update tomorrow but wanted to show this crazy frost already forming 20 days since the flip! Insane!

 

[sky rocket]

Looking good my man. I'm about 6 days ahead of you in flower with my blue cheese and blue dream.....

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thanks brotha, I've had my eye on the blue cheese for quite some time now, do you have a journal on it? If so link it here, I'd love to follow along man

@ 21 full days of 12/12

Starting week 4

The stretch is over. Flowered at 15" and they are 36" tall now - 2.5x stretch. Fully lollipopped at day 16 and also heavily supercropped (30% of the tops). The supercropped branches are really strong and stable now.

Frost started forming at day 14ish and now it is doubling daily. Impressive. There looks to be TONS of smaller buds forming and a few decent sized colas will also form up. I went to 1250ppm (1.8ec) and the tips of some leaves got a little burnt, but very minor, so I backed the nutes back down under 1200.

No journal because the only camera I have right now is the one from my iPad and I don't think that will do a good job. I can privately send some pics.

The glues are looking good. Do you plan on defoliating?

 

[AlphaPhase]

Would love to see a pic of the blue cheese, pm a pic if ya like which breeder is yours from? I haven't grown any cheese strains yet but for my first cheese run, blue cheese will be the one. I have a fem 710 cheese I was thinking about popping but I think it'll wait til I do the b cheese

I was going to do some defoliation but I didn't really need to (was surprised it grew out nicely enough for good airflow and light penetration), I did cut about 20 or so leaves in half in early stretch because I had some serious leaf overlapping happening causing extreme moisture puddles on the leaves. I also did a heavy lollipop and only kept the top 20" of growth, here'sa ppic of under the net

Here's a video for better visual

Nice video. I'm running barney's blue cheese. I'll send you a pic when they wake up. I'm running a sog. I have 50 blue cheese and 30 hso blue dreams under 2x600's magnum xxl's.

I have been told by commercial growers, to not go over 600-650 PPM with GG4. What is the PPM of your runoff?? Must be through the roof. I will be testing runoff tonight. Have been feeding 600, and runoff has been 550-650. I love flood and drain, but most GG4 pro's are using coir, so I have switched to that, but it has a learning curve.

Just noticed you are hydro. You should be able to just monitor reservoir. If it goes up, than overfeeding.

Any suggestion on when it is too late to supercrop. I am 16 days into flower, and they are stretching like crazy.

 

[AlphaPhase]

Ppm was going down at 1150ppm, 1250 ppm caused minor leaf tip burn, I think 1150 is the sweet spot in my system (I have suspended roots with no medium)

But I also have some bad news, when I was moving my glue plants to thier new grow room, it failed and I have to start over

This is thier last day of being alive.. Will be doing a 16 or so plant SOG on a 4x4 tray with smart pots in the next couple of days. I have the clones ready to flower so it shouldn't be long

The move was fine getting them out of the trellis but impossible to get them back in the new trellis..

 

[AlphaPhase]

Those pics are exactly 4 weeks into flower, 28 days. Can't wait to grow them again.

I supercroppped till week 3, they stretched 2.5x

 

[Figgy]

Did you just say you had to scrap that whole grow??? Damn bro, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are settled in and ready to start over.

 

[AlphaPhase]

Yeah figgy totally had to scrap the grow thanks for the kind words though brotha, I'm settled in to my new pad now and loving it, I have so much more space to work in now and have clones almost ready for flower. I'm so ready to get things up and running again I'll make sure to update soon

You know more space means more plants! you got anything else going other than the glue?

But, But, Why?? Just the move and trellis was too much for them?

So sorry to hear this happen.

 

[AlphaPhase]

Yeah they just were so flimsy from the glue structure and being held up by the trellis that most branches just kind of flopped over and bent in half towards the bottom, they were about 4.5' tall with the pots and extremely hard to handle

So sorry to hear this happen.

That's how I'm looking at it too figgy, much much more room I also have a very frosty in veg blue lemon thai, gg4 x og, headbanger (2 phenos), chemalope (tangilope x chemdawg), fruity chronic juice, extrema and mk ultra that are ready to flower but I've not run them yet do not sure what to expect. Most are pretty healthy and some are a bit deficient and they all need a transplant asap lol

Dam good luck on your sea of green. In your sog are you vegging or straight to flower plus what medium will you be using?

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thanks man, the clones I have are in the pic, not too big, some are bigger than others so I'll have to pick the ones similar in height. I'll be using 2 or 3 gallon smart pots with Rockwool croutons, drain to waste in the beginning and then most likely I'll flood them when they start drinking alot

Nice looking clones......was there any topping done on those clones?
