Tahoe OG in Dual Monster Plant System (Scrog Edition)

[lordjin]

Looky here! The roots are jammin'. I see the 'angry growth' that I know too well starting up. They put on more size noticeably by about 12 hours into the light period, so I'm gonna wait until later to snap upstairs for ya.

Plant 1 - Roots coming steadily.

Plant 2 - Not to be outdone, she's doing her thing too.

There comes a point when the plant just says "fuck it" and stops screwing around. They're just about to do that at any moment now. Fasten you seat belts and hold onto your asses. This next week is gonna be a good one.

 

[lordjin]

Plant 1 - Note the V position the top leaves are in. After 10 hours into the light period, they spread out and increase in size, repeating the process with the V position early in the light period the next day. If this could be filmed with a time lapse camera, it would look like the leaves are 'flapping their wings' as they grow. I'm gonna give them something called Nirvana. Something I picked up on another thread here. This one is just starting to touch the surface of the cage.

Edit:
Scratch the Nirvana. I'm just gonna introduce a little Hygrozyme.

Day 1

Day 12 - Soil growers, do you see why we mess with all that water now?

OG Kush growers beware the 'yellow footprint.'

Plant 2 - This one isn't flapping her wings, but she's not doing too bad, either. Leaves on the new growth sizing up nicely. I actually prefer starting with smaller clones because it's more fun to see a tiny thing explode into many times its original size.

Day 1

Day 12

This one is a classic example of the process of clone re-vegging in my system. Look how she's discarded the old growth she came with. A new, big plant is emerging out of the small one I planted. Interesting, isn't it?

Edit:

I'm very impressed by the ph stability of AN Sensi. It took me almost a couple of weeks, but I have a pretty good sense of how it behaves in my system now. I think I have it dialed in pretty good, so will now move to an additive like Nirvana.

Nice now we get to watch you fill up that screen! I kind of want to do an outdoor scrog next year, that'd be awesome!

Thank you kindly.

I'll respond to you with my latest nute comparison report. AN vs. GH? So far in the re-rooting stage, I give it to AN for overall speed and immediacy of clone reaction. The roots showed up out of the net pots faster than any prior grow with GH. AN stays rock solid at 5.5 ph. So far it's AN 2, GH 0.

Edit:
Oh, and my res would have been quite brown in color already with the GH. So it's AN 3, GH 0.

Edit 2:
Remember how I was all afraid my Diablo journal was becoming a commercial for GH? I can see this one quickly becoming a commercial for AN. I'm pretty happy with it so far. Hey, I think I'll give a free commercial to all the major brands at my hydro shop's shelf. Technalflora or Dyna?

 

[323cheezy]

Hey jin i just read through the whole journal ...
Thanx for your endorsement!lol

Anyhow i just want to say thanx for taking on these clones...
Means allot to me and my club... (they dont know... but i think its nice to givem a shot...i wouldnt steer ya wrong)
Itll prove to be real deal tahoe in time...
I grew out the same cut as u know... and its one of the most awesome looking ogs...

At this time my og iq ... or just info on strains ... is beyond most ... i really need a job..lol
i have seen ogs do some crazy shit.... and i have the diablo ...That thing grows totally different from most og...
But the leves and stretch are there just like any real og....

Funny thing about diablo ...it grows like 5 heads without even topping it ...grows kinda like those hanikah (cant spell that ) canle stick...(looks the same as yers at this point..kinda)
Probly better suited for your room...

The tahoe on the other hand grow straight upward ...like a more true og...
These are old genetics i tell u.....

I will admit that tahoe is one of the tuffest strains to grow....
Even tho i did have a beautiful specimen.... i think i overnuted her during the first weeks of flower...(can u believe that ...i hardly even use nutes...lol)

But i rode her out ..... and the thing turned into a whole differnt plant in the 4th and 5th week of flower....
Many growers tried to help me out with the tahoes problems.... i will pass the info onto you ...
Since i know people who have had much more succes with tahoe than me....

Ps... your cuts looked healthier than mine initially....
But i think my tahoe looked a lil heathier after one week ..ill post pics.....
(perhaps its having trouble handling the such a powerful light...i only veg under t5's...do u veg under the 1000?)

I know thats the same cut... cause the leaves are very long ,skinny, serated ... and dont widen out much...
Sorry for giving you the most finicky strain none to man... but i have faith in you and your setup is much more advanced than mine....
Ill post some info and pics soon to show you what to expect....

 

[323cheezy]

Day ten

day ?

flower week one

Once i hit flower the thing streched to helll... looking back wish i topped it...
but your bending tecnique will help...and u have stronger denser light ...

Heres when shit hit the fan... heat stress but mostly a bad reaction to heavy nutes...
Well i wont show those pics....
But whats inportant is they made it through and came out with good meds .... but not too much...
I was gonna chuked the thing when it started its bad reaction... but im, happy i didnt... cuause the bud were really great ....

The impotant thing here is that you make allot of sun leaves and a good root system before you flower them... They dont produce many fan leaves or leaves for that matter to sustain golf sized buds...
however if u can control the strech and get a great amount of fan leaves ... there will be nothing to worry about...
Other tahoe growers advie coming soon...

 

[lordjin]

Oh, hey. There you are. They were quite nice when you handed them over, weren't they? Didn't take me long to fuck them up, huh? Lol.

Yes, that's pretty much how these are lookin' alright. Yeah, the gentle soil environment is a lot kinder to young cuts or seedlings. I should probably let the little hair roots grow out a little stronger under a fluoro before planting, but I never do. They just get a little overwhelmed at first, but quickly realize what's going on and grow like martians.

Thoughts on plant structure:
I already had a pretty good feeling how these plants are gonna grow before your pix, but your pix just confirm it. I'm actually afraid of flower time because these are just like the Platinum OG that grew into a six foot plant. It's a wide spaced node plant, so we probably won't see the kind of dense donkey dicks like my last grow.

The cage is gonna help a lot (obviously), but I'm still a little afraid. That's how huge the Platinum got. But again, let me see the how big the full-sized adult leaves get a little later in veg. That's gonna tell me a lot more about how they will behave in my system during flower. We'll decide on topping at that time.

But seriously? These are gonna stretch like a motherfuck. I know it. Just wait and see what I do to these bitches with that cage. It's gonna be almost obscene. I hope no one calls the scrog police on me.

But yeah, any helpful hints from your associates would be appreciated.

 

[323cheezy]

Heres some info on your cut...
Its from the same mother....

I think someone asked...???
This is the real tahoe cut... i garunttee it...(i can post u swerves word on it)
all i could salvage was someone telling me to keep the ppm under 900... but i know some can push more ...

Heres some ifo i cut and pasted ...heres the link if u want to read thw whole thread.... http://weedtracker.com/cannabis/topic/157202-70-day-og-kush-larry-tahoe-fire/page__st__75

Hey guys, just wanted to post these pics to show what OG Kush looks like at 70 days (if grown properly ofcourse)

All measurments are from mL per gallon

ALWAYS UNDER 1000PPM from day 1 to day 70.
GH 3-Part, modified lucas formula (0-8-9)ml
Botanicare Calmag 10ml
Hygrozyme 5ml
Drip Clean 0.5ml
Liquid Kool bloom 1.5ml (use with caution, dose down to 0.5mL per gallon if burn is visible.
Powder Kool bloom (Use as directed)

Recirculating DWC.

As you can see, true OG's pretty much look the same.



Tahoe OG:

Cali Connection is a seed co made by swerve a few years ago... What swerve did was he made his seed co dominant in the "OG and CHEM" Lines.

So, thats why you see so many seed lines like tahoe og, fire og, etc....

The genetics of all the OG's were LONG before in the hands of the public. Swerve recently in the past years acquired most of these OG and CHEM strains.. He is NOT the creator of. You can message him on the THCFarmer.COM and ask him what the genetics of which his seeds consist of.

The pictures represent the CLONE ONLY Version of the Tahoe.

For the bickering, im thinking everyone is referring to the reputation swerve carried? It could be a lot of things.

this is the cut your working with jin....

 

[lordjin]

Well let me say that the picture def gives me something to aim for. Really gorgeous. And an OG never looked truer.

I'm obviously not too knowledgeable about OG's because I though for the longest time that Cali-Connect was bogus. I also went on to talk shit about Cali-Connect in my Diablo journal. Sorry, Swerve. I just didn't know what I was talking about. Lesson learned... I DON'T know everything and was actually misled by all the OG legends that go around in the LA area.

But enough about that. I've no doubt that this is a fine, fine OG.

I wish I could follow that suggestion to the letter, but I just quit using GH for this grow. So with the AN, I will keep the nute levels mild and continue to supplement with Calmag. I'm also looking into an additive called Nirvana... but that might be more appropriate for later. I think I may add a bit of Hygrozyme, tho, based upon your recommendation.

Edit:

Fuckin' rain. Yesterday's shower came and went, but it's raining for real now in LA. Cooler temps... good for me and my girls.

 

[323cheezy]

all i can say is most the stories are myhts..
not even swerve himself knows the truth...
Nor will everyone agree on the truth behind it....
However we do know that the cuts were kept and still float around today ....
Im moving on to other ogs as for now...
Louie was a great unmolestered og cut ... but know im working with a new cut ...
Callled high octane og also known as nigels cut....
Its a 10 year old cut and claims to be the closest thing he smoked sine 99....
I got it for free from a friend...
Hopefully i will have cut availble soon....
Since i promised the guy id mother it out...
havre a good one jin ...im off to see thwe wiz...lol

 

[lordjin]

Yeah, I'm not gonna spend too much time worrying about myths and legends right now. I have a grow to do!

See ya'll later tonite!

 

[ironheadxl]

subbed for the long haul, pretty tech looking set up Lordjin.

Thanks. Don't let the look fool you too much. It's really quite simple.

 

[SFguy]

right as rain, captain.



Thanks.

Btw, another stupid little fuckup to report. While cleaning a bubble disk, i temporarily replaced with this very old, crumbly aquarium bubble wand. Well, one thing led to another and i completely forgot to clean the disk and left this crumby old wand whacking out huge, fucked up bubbles. God knows what it was releasing in the res because they have mysteriously perked up as soon as switching back to cleaned disk... I fear they were suffering because of this. Woops.

The culprit... Just look at that nasty thing. I'm such an idiot.

edit:

Smoking weed and growing weed often do not mix well.

Now you can quote me on that one. Just make sure you begin with, "a wise ganja grower once said..."

ha ha iv got 23 larry og goin right now they are some finnicky brats tho arent they???

 

[HiImNick]

How could I not sub? I'm here for the long run

 

[lordjin]

Hello, fellow OG grower. Yes, they are TOTAL bitches. But isn't that why we love them?

How could I not sub? I'm here for the long run

Hey! Nice seeing you! Thanks for hopping aboard again.

 

[lordjin]

Plant 1

Plant 2

Oh, btw. I got into the silliest flame war with a guy in another thread concerning the merits of high-pressure aeroponics or 'true aeroponics.' Dumbest thing, since he himself was only an NFT user... so I won't get into details. But this is right around the time I say, "Fuck NASA!" Lol So all you assholes go ahead and keep calling my shit "fake aero." It doesn't bother me much because my plants look better than your "true aero" plants on any given day of the week. Believe me, I've checked.

Plant 1
First cage contact on day 13. This one has gotten really smelly too. The smell is just so amazing, 323Cheezy. I'm confident in the quality of its genetics from that smell. It has a very, very marijuana smell. That's the best way I can describe it. I think these may very well be the smelliest little clones I've grown. Awesome.

As much as I'm cheering on the underdog, I have to say that this one is really a terror. With her more developed roots, she's begun channeling power into her side branches. Note the lowest branch putting on size and green. Could that possibly reach up and become the strongest cola like Diablo Plant 1?

Plant 2

Got out of the office late again, so couldn't make the hydro shop in time. I'll get the Hygrozyme tomorrow for sure, though.

 

[brandon727272]

Is hygrozyme really all that? I've read a little bit about it and it sounds pretty legit, I may have to try it next year

Hey, beats the shit out of me, Brandon. Your guess is as good as mine. I'm gonna throw some in there because it was in 323Cheezy's little recommend list. I do whatever he says.

 

[lordjin]

Another note of importance. First root contact with fluid surface on day 13. Not bad, AN. Not bad at all.

Day 1

Day 13

Also, first cage contact on plant one on day 13. Let it be recorded now for posterity. Didn't I already say that?

Edit: Oh, and for God's sake! Please stop putting your dirty soil pots in your clean hydro areas to satisfy your odd curiosity. Hydro is faster, much faster. Just take my word for it.

Edit 2:
Disclaimer
I am not dissing on soil growers. I know soil is gentler and creates a smoother tasting bud, but it is slower... and I just read a thread from a guy who got bugs in his hydro tent from the soil pots he had in there. So there.
