Aight peeps quick update on the cave. Things have been going farely well. Since adding the 1000 watt Hps the room is getting blasted with lumens and the plants really appreciate it. The lights on temps have been staying steady at 78 35-40% RH.
Ive been checking the hydro vitals every other day and they seem to be staying in range quite well. The hydro plants are really feeding hard on the res and ive been having to top up with about 15 gallons of water every other day. As for the health of the hydro plants things are looking fantastic. No deficiencies at all thus far and buds are forming up nicely. I have been having some issues with the plants tipping over out of the buckets because i didnt glue the net pots to the buckets for a few reasons. So ive been having to gently shimmy my way in to the back under the canopy and tie them up with some string line in an effort to keep them stable and in the buckets. Let me tell you this is not an easy task by any means. Ive accidently snapped off a few nice branches just trying to finaggle my way in and out of the back of the room. Today marks exactly 1 month in flower so hopefully things stay put now for the remainder of this flower session.
On to the soil plants. Ive been using locally availible soil lately and i supose i dont mind it. I do like FF ocean forest the best but its pricey and has to be shipped in so ive opted to use what i can find. I cant say that ive noticed much diffrence other than how well the soil drains compared to FF. To date ive been feeding only water NON ph'd
and the plants have responded with lush green leaves and overall very healthy foliage. Now at 4 weeks flower im starting to see the first signs of nute deficiency especially on the 3 Timewarps. Its hard to say whats lacking at this point as all 3 are in diffrent soil mixes but they seem to be all lacking the same nutrient and my guess at this point is a cal mag dif. I could be wrong but thats what it looks like. I dont have any pics right at the moment to show of the dif but ill get some soon as lights out.
Soil VS Hydro. Overall id have to say that the soil plants have kept right up with the hydro. Maybe once i get a more fine tuned setup ill be able to push the hydro a lil harder but for now ill take the safe route to harvest. 4 more weeks to go provided the dogs and headbands finish in 8 weeks. For some reason though i think ive read they take up to 9-10 weeks??
At any rate im starving for some of me own bud again. And the DOG is one ive been lusting after for some time now hahaha. Cant wait.
Aight I snapped these pics 2 nights ago, and once the lights go off for the night ill go take some more pics and post em. Enjoy
Timewarps bulking up quickly. They are suppose to finish in 7 weeks and they look on track for it lol.
Grape Ape may have posted this one already. Sher has swelled up in the last few days aswell. And my god she smells delightful.
And lastly for this pic session are the clones from all the keeper strains. They have been in here for a few weeks now and that is unusual. They almost always root alot faster than that but they have been in 12/12 light so that could be why. Just gotta get the veg cab setup for them now.
Thats it for now. lights out here in an hour then ill get up some mug shots. Peace 1BMM

swwweeeeetttt update bro, looking lush 
got that hydro down, cant tell which is which
cheers bro (damn i nearly wrote she) HE hasn't stretched up like madness yet so could be a short and stocky pheno, here's for hoping anyway bro he's been in a week and i've only just seen a very small pair of balls where u'd get that double hair on a female come out near the pre-flower. thanks bro

Las i about injured meself laughing at that video hahahaha., Too funny bro. hahaha. The new TW anthem 
Maybe i can twist the fairies arm fot ya
Thanks for the visits and support fellas. I misplaced my camera and cant find it for the life of me
or id have some updated pics to show off. Really not much has changed anyway.
Today ive noticed one of my buckets has sprung a slow leak,
Nothing much i can do about it at this point in the game. Just hoping it dont get any worse before flower time is up.
Between the leak and the plants sucking up the nute mix they have drank 25 gallons of water in the last 3 days. The dogs are growing fkn massive despite my efforts to keep them compact and tidy. Ive got one Dog in particular with a trunk on it 2 inches wide. Just a beastly plant compared to the rest.
Clones are near ready for there soil pots so today i completely sealed off the veg cab and began them on an 18 hour light cycle. Tommorow ill transplant them and start preparing them to be mothers for this spring.
Overall peeps eager to get this grow done and clean out the cave again. Getting quite congested in there.
pics when i find my camera. peace 1BMM

Today started off rough with me having a severe hangover from partying lastnight. puhh feeling like doo doo. Never the less the girls must be tended. I went in the room expecting the soil plants to be near bone dry and they where. That is ok i like them to be dry before a good watering. Especially now that the moajority of the nutes in the soil have been depleted and ive been needing to add nutes to counter some deficiencies.
Particularly the timewarps. They all have the same problem and im scratching my head a bit on this one. My first thought was it was clearly a cal mag def but i think its more than that. After some reading up im thinking it could be a boron def. Its weird though that its only effecting the TWs. I did a special feed just for them with some added micros and some cal mag. New growth seems green and healthy. They are dropping off fan leaves rapidly though. Seems like in a matter of 2 days green healthy leaves are sucked dry and dead. Weird.
So anyways i did finally snap a pic of a few leaves just to get some opinions.
same leaf diffrent light
Any suggestions other than what ive covered?
Moving on
So i guess since im already on the Timewarps ill post them up first.
Heres "mini" The shortest compact TW pheno and probably the healthiest.
Medium tw pheno
And lastly "Bertha" the beastly gal. TW
I like this one lol. This is also TW#5 by the way.
The deficiency came on in the form of tiny rust brown colored spots and rapidly spread out as you can see here leaving the fan leaves utterly ravaged. Im hoping i feed them what they needed and all this will stop.
Overall the TW smell very piney fruity and so far not the overwhelming armpit must of the TW clone i was gifted awhile back. Still a bit to soon to tell and probably impossible to get the exact thing again from seed. But we shall see.
Onward
Next up a strain that was gifted to me via the rasta fairy. Grape Ape. Im very excited about this strain. She smells heavenly grapey sour and her buds very hairy almost like WW and frosty all at the same time.
I have 2 phenos and they are drasticly diffrent from eachother. So first up is the keeper GA.
Shes going to be a bulky yeilder me thinks.
And her ugly sister
By all accounts she aint much to look at in comparison. Ive given the ugly lil biatchh the best seat in the house under full HPS and she just aint gettin it lol. Hopefully shell take off here soon. But at any rate i got a clone from the perty GA so ill be developing from there.
Now for the Headbands.
So far this strain has been very very compact which i admire. I lvegged these 2 ladies for a coup;e months before flower and they are squat in stature to the rest of the garden. Ive got to kinda place the plants in a certain way so they all get the most of the HPS that they need. Its become a real chore doing this as everytime a need to get in to check the hydro all the soil plants must come out. Kinda sucks but i can handle it for a few more weeks.
Aight Headbands 1 & 2
I believe this is #2 hard to tell.
Yep and heres #1. Kinda wishing id left some of the lower branches alone. Then again the cave is slap full so wouldnt get much from down there anyway.
Heres a look in before pulling out some of the soil girls.
Man its insanely bright in there.
All the plants that have to come out are out, now we can take a look inside with some elbow room.
Here we have 9 hydro DOG Kush 3 Blue Widow And 3 Headband. There are a few stray soil Dogs here lurking aswell.
Got a mother fucking leak in one of the hydro buckets. Not really to bad but still i dont like it. It would be a real pain and near impossible to fix at this point. One option ive considered if it gets any worse is to pull the weakest hydro plant which is the one directly next to the carbon scrubber for some reason, and isolate and seal off the leaking bucket from the rest of the garden. Pretty sure thats what ima have to do at some point.
Ive been monitoring daily under the canopy to makesure the plants dont tip over on me in the buckets. While doing this i noticed the trunks on some of the dogs are swelling up HUGE. Hopefully thats a sign of some huge buds getting ready to swell up lol. Anyways a snapped a few pics of the 2 most gnarly trunks.
You can see where i super cropped this one early on in veg. That trunk has swelled up a good 3/4 of an inch in gerth in the last few days.
This one here is just massive. This is a DOG Kush and is the largest plant in flower at the moment. Just huge. Its in an ideal spot in the room so probably why its out performing others.
So that covers the flower room. Ive gotten around to getting my little veg cab sealed up and planted some of the rooted clones to be this springs clone mothers.
Heres a look in.

Thanks fellas. Yep things are coming right along. Hopefully the hydro will hold its bladder a bit longer 
Not looking forward to having to fix that. Ill know here in a bit.

the deficiency looks to be zinc- or ph related lock out. The yellowing is common during flower, as your plants are converting stored energies when they need them. Definitely Not boron def. soil ph sometimes fluctuates based on moisture levels and nutrient uptake.

Hmm thanks for the input TLD Ive started feeding FF nutes on light doses so hopefully they find the zinc they need. Can you recommend a remedy ole buddy?
