THELOADEDDRAGON'S Perpetually growing perpetual grow

[theloadeddragon]

looked like a couple male Maui Skunks and a couple female Chemo Cindys..... nothing concrete..... camera sucks no pics today sorry...... will prolly water tomorrow

 

[theloadeddragon]

read through my whole journal thus far and realised how far behind I fell

I really need to get this 220V line hooked up......

the line goes out into the room, but its capped and I need to put in a socket......

anyone have step by step advice??

Im picking up a new 400W MH, and two bulbs, one for the 400W MH I already have and NEED to get them running tonight.....

Please! Some help???

on a 60 amp breaker (2 30's) I will not put in another circuit panel...... would like to have regular grounded plugs to plug in the lights and A/C etc.!

Please Please help........

 

[theloadeddragon]

didn't hook up the 220v..... think I am going to stretch it to the flowering area after the first harvest, I don't think I will need it in the veg room after all .

am running the new 400W on the same 110v..... 500W of CFLs, two circular fans and the 400W MH are all on the one circuit.

its a Sunleaves Pulsar Two-Way Mini 400W was $170

I have the Maui Skunk and Twilight under it........ and speaking of which..... first confirmed female is Maui Skunk D ...... three other Maui Skunk plants are prospective females.... on the other hand it looks as though I have a couple Twilight males and a couple other males of WC and CC....... all but four plants are showing preflower development, and I think they will mostly all show sex by Oct. 10th. Im anxious to get rid of some males. I still need to put reflective lining around it, but that will probably wait till tomorrow. Since its a conversion lamp I may be putting it in the flowering room in Jan as supplemental go between HPS lighting to make full use of the flowering rectangle provided in the room ..... we'll see..... Im happy its in anyways ..... Sunmaster Warm Deluxe bulb in there, they should like it

18/6 starts now

so lights go out 6 pm tomorrow to midnight. they all got watered this morning as well, 5 1/2 weeks veg I think

 

[theloadeddragon]

decided fuck it......... took some pics

just keep in mind its uber late.... didn't get to set it up till uber late...... and I still need to fuss with the poly plastics etc. tomorrow...... but its functional 10" away from canopy....... The Maui Skunk are in front, the twilight in back (up against wall lining), and the widow cindy and chemo cindy are in the fluorescent area until the sexes are determined, males are taken, and then they will go under other MH..... I can't wait to weed out some males.... going to have to wait to set up the other 400W MH....... I would ideally have just a couple mothers under each 400w, with clones under the fluorescents until they are large enough to flower.

Theres one of my buddies in that last pic chillin in the twilight ..... tons of them around TONS

 

[theloadeddragon]

the question Im asking myself right now is...... should I top these potential mothers??

 

[theloadeddragon]

still debating whether I should top those plants ^^^^^ please feel free to throw out your opinions.....

actually going to get to framing in some of the flowering room tonight, ..... and finish lining the 400W area with reflective materials and tweaking it a bit..... hopefully get to add in 3 new strains tomorrow..... not sure yet...... everything is ready though..... and really anxious to get some males removed and some set aside..... in the meantime, just one of the meanings.... sigh.....

While I remember...... WCxSS sounds like a very very good cross..... as does Maui SkunkxPurple Kush....... I am going to attempt it I think sometime....

 

[dgk4life]

loaded i got a boy in cali sendin me some seeds i want a good purp strain that will yield well in a sog.. any tips

 

[theloadeddragon]

Purple Kush..... GDP (is about avg), dah purps, green grape, purple goo, Mendo Purps, they are all fairly decent yielders..... Blue Dream, Blue Moonshine...... any of those I would go with.... its all up to you..... definitely try to stick with an indica dominant hybrid

 

[dgk4life]

loaded my future grows r in your hands.. give it to me str8 doc if i was u wat would i grow????

 

[theloadeddragon]

Does it have to be purple??

Purple Kush hands down (blue and purple)

Blue moonshine (blue and purple)

and Mendo Purps ties with Purple Deseil ( both are very very purple)

Blue Dream (blue hues)

In order of first choice to last choice ^^^...... but out of all the other purps that the list...... do I have to narrow it down further? Can I suggest strains that aren't purple?

 

[dgk4life]

see i want purp bc if u saw the bs that be passin for "purple haze" perp this purp that on my side of the country u would laugh and they gettin 60 a 1/8 for barely tolerable imitation purple.. but if i had some legit purp i would be able 2 kill it and maybe fly out to cali to see a new friend

 

[theloadeddragon]

purple wreck is also a very worth while purple strain to grow..... if your lucky enough to get the right pheno types it would be staple and continuously clone worthy ...... Hands Down Purple Kush is the one I would pick if I could pick only one..... but only the real SR71 clone only strain of purple kush...... hard to come by....... only a handful of growers that I know of that have it including myself...... so it may be very difficult to locate.....

Stopped in to check out your grow ended up watching a two hour documentary lol.

 

[theloadeddragon]

funny how that works huh?

took me 6 hours just to watch the damn thing because of buffering

Ya slow internet sucks man goes just fast enough to keep you surfing. Interesting video though got to video those videos with a bit of salt, well worth watching I think.

 

[theloadeddragon]

yeah... salt.... but they got the general picture..... I just thought people ought to see another side of the plate

 

[theloadeddragon]

wasn't able to do any framing in the flowering area..... it flooded, so I had to clean that up.... hopefully I get to it soon.... really soon

 

[theloadeddragon]

got started on framing the flowering area today...... and two new strains found their way into the garden today ..... going to have pulled 5 or 6 males by the end of the weekend.... so there will be plenty of space

the new strains are

Jack herer

and

Silverback

now things are getting moving... couple more females too as long as I get one of each strain I will be happy,

 

[theloadeddragon]

more framing today should be done framing by the end of the weekend, and started on the plant pot basin/table and the subwall should be done too, , the ballast and light and fans installation next week, first phase of the flowering room should be operational by the 15th, ..... and I already have a list of things that I am picking up a month after that for the second phase .....

Im stoked!

plants were watered yesterday..... gunna pull them out this evening or tomorrow morning to get rid of some males and do some organizing,

still planning on knowing the sex of all the plants by the 10th, and taking my first batch of clones around then too I think ....

And TONIGHT I am taking PK and Sensi Star cuttings, Finally! I will do it this time! lol...... so they will finally be added to the mix like I should should should have done two months ago!

 

[theloadeddragon]

Mothers From Seed (Transplant) 9-22 10 pm-11:30pm

2 bags Bio Bizz All Mix
1 1/3 bags Fox Farms Ocean Forest
1 3/4 cu ft Perlite

Evenly mixed for desired consistancy and spread between 14 5 gal pots.

They were pre arranged under the lights as follows: L to R Twilight, Widow Cindy, Chemo Cindy, and Maui Skunk.... Or front to back depending on from which side your looking at the area from.

Order of transplants (pics in same order):
1st Chemo Cindy, 2nd Widow Cindy, 3rd Twilight

None of the new CFL's were installed until the next morning, and I hope to get pics of how the panel is now (still unfinished!) later this afternoon.

I am going to consider the start of veg at 8-20-09
Which puts these ladies at exactly 5 weeks today.

I was thinking that the maturation to preflower would be starting within the next two weeks 9-25 to 10-12, but yesterday while tending I noticed that at least one Widow Cindy, and maybe a couple others, are starting to develop the preflowers starting at the 4th-6th nodes .

My GUESS as to the prospective females are as follows:
3 of 4 Widow Cindy
2-3 of 5 Chemo Cindy
2 of 5 Twilight (though I am still holding out for all females from the Twilight )
2-4 of 5 Mauii Skunk (the most aggressively vigorous strain thus far)

totalling about 10 females of 19 plants. I will deal with the males as the show themselves, .

Once sex is established and they simply won't fit under the fluorescent panel any more (I will raise it another 4-6 inches tops) I will split the strains up under two 400W MH (one brand new! ). they will be split as:
Mauii Skunk and Twilight under one MH
And Chemo Cindy and Widow Cindy under the other MH.

And Now for some rough schedule guidelines:

* The first set of clones will be taken 10-15 to 10-24 sometime. 30-35 cuttings total from the first session, going under the fluorescent panel. At this point I will elect to keep only (hopefully) two mothers of each strain.

- 1st set of clones will go into flower 11-5 to 11-12 sometime

* Second set of clones will come off 11-5 to 11-15 sometime

- Second set of clones will go into flower under a new 1000W HPS 12-12 to 12-15 sometime

* Third set of clones will be taken 12-5 to 12-12 sometime

$ First Set of clones will be harvested 1-12 to 1-24 sometime (yeah 2010)

-Third set of clones will go into flower 1-12 to 1-24 sometime

*Fourth set of clones will be taken 1-12 to 1-20 sometime

$ Second Set of clones harvested 2-15 to 2 20 some time

- Fourth set of clones go into flower 2-15 to 2-20 sometime


And so on.....

Some of the clones will go into the greenhouse once its completed so there will be some extra here and there ones.

Male pollen will be collected and temporarily stored of each strain that produces males, before they are disposed of.
The mothers may be replaced in February leaving the old mothers to regenerate and flower with select pollens on select portions of the flowering plants (3 weeks into flower) based on the strain, phenotypes/characteristics, vigour etc. and the rest of the non seeded flowers will be compared to the earlier clone harvests as far as quality etc.
This will give me continued seed stock, And New Strains

The replacement mothers would have to be ready to give clones by the End of February to continue the indoor grows.... and by then I should Also need to Expand Veg space ..... as the expansion to where house grow is expected Starting at the end of February.....


SO..... I will basically be figuring it out as I go

And..... I should have a couple Purple Kush clones and Sensi Star clones to plug in as additional mothers to keep the genetics as my staple strains (they have been so good to me )

I will have a few more layout designs and bits of schematics etc. to post as we go too like the one I am about to do this weekend showing the actual table design for my first flowering set up in this grow

Heres the pics ...... my camera it seems may have taken a crap on me so I had to use a different one..... should hopefully be buying a new one around the end of Oct.

And yes I will be turning pots to keep growth uhhh centered or even or whatever you want to call it..... but the added lights should help with the "curvature" hopefully

Schedule bump!
