Diablo OG In Dual Monster Plant System

[C.Indica]

Options for the screen are endless. Don't use small chicken wire. I prefer to use holes 2-2.5 inches in diameter.
Seems to be the ideal hole size. Nylon rope or twine would prob be the best. IMO
I used wood as my support frame and screwed it into the cab walls.
Some say that the wood if not primed will cause mold growth on the wood.
I have yet to see any problems at all with mold or anything after 2 grows.
Don't put too much thought into it. It is only a screen.
The hardest part of doing a scrog for me is access to the far side of the plant and figuring out your fill and drain.
Which I'm sure you will have that figured out easily. Some also wait til they show sex before putting under the screen.
IMO you're not doing a scrog by doing this because the plants are not training and stretching to the screen.
You will then be basically using the screen for support. That's not the idea behind the scrog.
So if you have clones then stick em directly under the screen and make them bitches big and bad. You will have some beast.

This is actually a way to have the plant shift more energy into floral/foliage production, as it doesn't have to strengthen the stem/tree trunk as much to resist from heavy wind/weather/buds.

Cheeze, I'm gonna pm you in a sec.

i got it ...finally we can get things going man .....

you can have one lou an two others...your choice.....
they were getting big so i kicked em in soil...
I think i know how to convert them ....by taking the soil of in a nice plant roots soak...
Dont think itll be a prob going into hydro....

Saved u some lou too...

Okay. Those babies look nice. I'm a little wary of transplanting from soil to hydro, however... Especially since those look pretty strong and so their roots are probably pretty complex already in that soil. Can you do a special cut and root in a cube? I'm in no real hurry and would rather wait for a fresh rockwool rooted cut since your clone work def looks like it's worth waiting for.

But if anyone has successfully transplanted from soil to hydro, please chime in and set me straight on this.

 

[lordjin]

I'm very jealous of your slavebud.
You whipped it hard, and got what you wanted.
Fuck the dispensary guy, enjoy it yourself.

Thanks! You've become one of the best posters in my journal. I do enjoy the bud. I'm starting to reach its "Ceiling" in my tolerance as I gotta smoke quite a bit to get high in the evenings now. But wake and bake, two hits in the morning and I'm sky high for four solid hours with a pleasant linger that last for about another two hours or so... It's all about the wake and bake imo. It's still getting me high and putting me in a much better mood every day without fail. I rate this bud pretty high on the tolerance factor. It's too bad the dispensary guys don't love it... But since I'm sure they don't give refunds for customers... I mean patients who aren't happy with what they bought, I'm not gonna give them one, either. OOps! Hope they're not reading this. Lol.

Ive taken the roots outta soill before.....
When i was done growing and cali mist cut...
Practically u have to just wash all the old soil off to reveg ...
So the roots can have new soil ..mind u it was already after harvest when i did this so ..i dont think itll be a problem...

However ... i have cuts that are not evn rooted yet
those are just the louies and a couple that started rooting...
The louies are kinda going into flower already ..... but i have them on 24/0 now so that i can mother one....
So if u can root your own ill definately have some fresh cuts....(i have to many at this point)
But if your ready ...Im sure a louie would be almost ready to go right into flower for u....
Like i said louie grows very tall... but im sure you can do things to prevent to much strecth....
The clones i have most of ...(newer cuts) are the blue larry(larry ogx blue dream)...
Im not much of a bd fan ...but this particular strain is amazingly tasty and very social ...a nice change of pace........And will be my second time running it....
I also have a Power (sour dubs) cuts that rooted ... it stays real short... 3 ft max... cause of it master kush in it.....

So tell me what it is your looking for....
Just bomb og like lou....
Or some varieties.....
Or are u just loooking for one strain ??
Either way ...
I know some places you should check out for cuts....(if u want more than the few ill gift u)
And tmro rascal s1 whites are droppping at my local collect....
I might want to jump on those seeing as they sell out in one day and have so much hype behind them.....
Let me know what your looking for and i can those cuts ready shortly ...

The Louie XIII I'm def interested in. I'm gonna scrog and would flower early on a tall one like that.

Rascal's S1 White you mention is very interesting too. How bout this? Let me install my scrog screen. I haven't even scrubbed the tub since the last grow yet... I know, I know. I'll try to work on grow prep this weekend and get things in a semi-ready state. When I'm ready to drop babies in, I'll consult with you on getting genetics... If not from you then from one of your recommended collectives. If you could pick up two fresh rockwool rooted clones from one of your places, let's say, and hang on to 'em for me, I would really, really appreciate it. Lol!

cool .... ill veg those lous out as planned...and take cuts in a week or so...
Lous (og's in general) are tricky ones to root...
So if u want root em out....lol

Its just all depends wen u ready...
I imagine ill have fresh cuts of lou in a weeks time...
And roots a week or two after...

Ill see what i can work out....

 

[steeZz]

The cure is settling in nicely. Note how the trichs are lookin' like brown sugar. The potency seems to be increasing every day. I have reached another height, and this time I had to take note because it's at the end of a day after I've been gettin' high all day... as you all know, the most challenging time for weed to get you high. This stuff gets you high every time you smoke it, whether it's your first time that day or your third. Lovely.

After about ten minutes of browsing, I want this the most.
gahhhhhh.

 

[C.Indica]

That's the mid-grade bro. You want his donkey dicks.

Thanks Jin, always glad to be around.
I don't do hydro, and I don't ever want to, but you are definately the most inspirational Hydroponic grower I've known.

Haha Cheese I have a Monrovia green bucket too.
It used to be my Final Size pot, but then I got a 5g black bucket.
That greeney is about a 4g right?

 

[323cheezy]

i have a 5 gallon monrovia... but the one in the pic for the clones....is 0ne gall....
I usually do 4 for flowering...

Perfect. About two week's time will give me enough opportunity to install my scrog screen.

I know. OG's are harder to root, harder to grow, and they yield less. But dontcha just love 'em anyway? Lol.

I'm always pleasantly surprised by a new person poking their head in here. Thanks for reading!

How's the smoke/Dry weight Cap'n?

 

[lordjin]

How's the smoke/Dry weight Cap'n?

It's still getting me high. The wake and bake is super mind and body bending every morning.

The dry weight came in at just under 14oz total. I probably have about seven or so left... some of that is popcorn , though.

 

[C.Indica]

That's like .59 grams per watt, what happened?
Did you count all the stuff you've smoked so far?

Yeah, that's the whole shebang. It wasn't a huge yielder. i was kind of expecting that.

While it's growing, it always looks pretty mega, so I'm always hoping for great things, but you don't really know until you start cutting into the plants on harvest day. I'm pretty happy with right around 14 ounces, tho.

Edit:

But I am switching to Advanced for my next round. I've noticed that with GH, though the plants do great, my OG Kush always ends up with this 'spicy' peppery odor. Some people think it's interesting and eat it up, while others tend to be turned off by anything that deviates from the straight OG smells that they're used to.

In addition to lower yield, I do believe these GH nutrients are the culprit for this same spicy aroma that I found in the Ghost OG, the Platinum OG, and now the Diablo OG. It can't be that these three drastically different strains share the same trait, so it's gotta be the nutes. Again, the spicy tint isn't bad at all, in fact some think it's great. But I have a strong suspicion that the OG aroma will be a lot more predictable with Advanced nutes.

After a good read, 6 or 7 good ' jaw-drops' ,and some"oh, my gods'!" and here i am. Wow, those are some nice buds,something that gives us something to aspire to. I am a new grower, and use soil ( for the forgiveness) but i will hafta seriously think about going hydro, the results look well worth it. Great posts

Oh, look at that! A new reader.

Thanks so much.

What's interesting really is that the learning process never stops. I have sung the praises of my methods in addition to the General Hydroponics nutes I've been using all over this journal. But I have come to the realization that when growing such a difficult strain as the OG Kush varieties, a nute upgrade is called for. After three OG grows with the stuff, I've noticed that it leaves a 'thumbprint' on the aroma and taste of the finished bud. I need a cleaner nute.

Edit:

And about soil. It's slower and the yield is smaller, but the buds turn out more predictably. It's all a give and take. I'll get this thing figured out the next round, though. As a hydro grower, it's all about emulating the natural process of a soil grow with the greater speed and yield of a water medium.

 

[solanero]

For what it is worth,... I assume, most beginners go with soil because it is quik, and forgiving. I mean take a seed or cutting and slip it in a container of soil mix and bang your done. As i think about it , i personally went with a pro-mix soilless mix, so i could still control the nutes in the medium. But this too is still more forgiving than a hydro setup in my mind. With all the help and ideas offered here it will be a much faster transition to going hydro , for me anyhow. I figure the average curious gardener does'nt want to invest time and energy to learn and build or buy the hydro method until he is more sure of the results and if it is something he wants to risk (legally).
Yes, i think i'm rambling ,...wohoo for the wake n' bake.
