Tahoe OG in Dual Monster Plant System (Scrog Edition)

[mensabarbie]

miami, i'm a girl and I can upload photos. I'd be happy to show you but I'm in LA. I certainly hope Skywalker OG doesn't take 78 days to flower.... my parents are coming for thanksgiving and that whole grow has to be trimmed, shipped and dismantled by Nov 23rd. !!!!

Sorry,, Jin but last night I was really tired and fell asleep..didn't see your email till now. Yes that is Cuban food...better than any off those restaurant that say their Cuban ...what a laugh. Any hoo back to work. I am going to try to upload. But yes they have their little hairs and their forming,,.. but little and showing alot of them everywhere but coming along very slow. I have them in soil and the ppm are 1000 . Now my question is... keep them at 1000 ppm.. because they are still forming or lower the ppm. Thanks

 

[Miamigirl]

Hey Mensabarbie....thanks I appreciate that ...but I do live here in LA. I'm in the Valley. What part of town do you live? Funny you say that about Thanksgiving . I'm on the same mission with my other girls that just started about a week ago..and those hopefully will have to be done by December. Crossing my fingers. I'm sorry to hear about your spidermites. How do you control them.. They surely are a pain in the ass.

Okay, I don't know a thing about soil, unfortanately, so will ask my soil growing friend to give you advice on that.

Don't laugh, but I love the garlic chicken at Versailles. Whenever I mention that restaurant to Cuban people, they laugh at me and say I'm eating Cuban Mcdonalds.

fuckin love them girls bro lool..nice updates mate rep given..

Thanks, dude. I can't imagine growing without the support of my fellow RIU members... HOw did I ever do it before?

what's up guys, hey Jin, I think I want you to shoot me and I'll post them in MY grow journal. maybe then I'll get some traffic... heh heh heh um yeah right now, all I have is pics of my spidermites. so everything looks good. I messaged you about the four... and my big plans. sub'd and looking forward to the photos... of the girls... i mean 'plants'...

Hi,
Yeah, I'll let you experiment on my other four. But see my response to your PM regarding light schedules.

Spidermites? I'll take a look. Hold on.

Your babies are still with you, just in their jars and in your pipe/joint/blunt! The best places for babies to be!

Much love, Brandon.

Are you a soil grower growing Tahoe? I hope so. That would be interesting.

Day 13

Day 15 - Look at the difference in top growth size in just two days. We are officially into 'angry growth.' And it's just gonna get worse, so go grab some popcorn or something.

Training under the screen has begun for plant 1. This is very interesting for me. I've lots of experience training, but first time using the tomato gate. Wild.

Plant 1

This is a monster in the making. And back to leaf vein quality (one of my favorite not often discussed topics)... Just look at that fine definition. A sign of classy genetics.

Plant 2

Still in the game.

Below:

Plant 2

Rock.

Hygrozyme tomorrow and water change as well.

 

[lordjin]

Not all growers have it. In fact, I would say few have it. Do you? If you think you have "angry growth," take two day time lapse photos and post them here in my journal. I dare you.

looking good jin, looks like your girls are finally starting to take off. love the deep green healthy look! nice fishboning as well.

poice!



Yes, explosive growth starts up at 10-15 days depending on OG cut. And that seems like an agonizingly long wait to me. I'm so impatient.

Edit:

Non-OG's are so much easier to start. I just drop 'em in and they start growing, never doing that yellow thing. OG cuts are just a bitch.

Wow, your journal is growing almost faster than I can read it.

Everything looks GORGEOUS on your plants to my admittedly untrained eyes -- the beautiful, long fishbone roots, the leaf color & structure, the stem thickness. What color are those stems anyway, purple? I might have seen a lava lamp that color once. Really cool. Amazing growth during those 2 FUCKIN' DAYS. Congrats. I guess Advanced Nutrients products aren't disappointing you. Do you follow the instructions on the bottles or use different strengths?

Is the pH holding pretty steady from one water change to the next? My experience was that I had to fiddle with the pH every single day, but maybe that was because my res was only 3 gallons. Not much room for buffering there. How many gallons in yours?

You can tell that I'm shamelessly trying to copy as many of your techniques as I can, because I can plainly see what works. Hope you don't mind, bro.

No, I have to fiddle with the ph too. I'm not superman. But the AN solution reacts faster and more predictably to the up/down solutions.

Yeah, OG's have purple running through them when they're still vegging. Beautiful, huh? Very special plant.

The smell is unbelievable. When I fling open my doors to check on them, I'm hit with this beautiful vegetative aroma that hints strongly of the buds to come. Outrageously stinky veg.

 

[lordjin]

Plant one was pretty much in a desirable position, but note how I shifted plant two to a different angle.

The idea is to basically do the same criss-cross, wrap around strategy I usually take. This time I'm hoping the tomato gate will allow me to create this shape much more strictly than I was able to do with string and duct tape.

Notice how I turned plant 2 to position her to be bent in that direction. And see how I've already started a light tuck on plant 1 in that direction.

 

[lordjin]

I was thinking about doing this last night, and as I see these girls get going, I think it's the right move. I'm not taking any chances. I've tied them down as I always do, pretending the screen isn't even there. I will continue to tie them down as I did with the Diablos and let them grow into the screen in a 'pre-trained' horizontal position. I figure every inch I can buy... The way those leaves are sizing up, and the stretchy, viney look of these plants, I have to do everything I can to prepare for the dreaded flower stretch. It's best to do this now while the main stems are still flexible.

If you read my Diablo journal, then you'll know that there is no such thing as too low in my system. Now every node is at a similar light level. Neat, huh kids?

edit:
And yes, though I did install the screen, I see it more as an insurance policy... I still have plenty of string and tape. Old habits die hard.

How long you gonna veg them for?

 

[lordjin]

How long you gonna veg them for?

It depends on what they do in the next week after my water change. I'll let you know as next week's growing unfolds.
