Troutie's Green O'matic Stealth grow

[onlycucumbershere]

Can't help with the root thing, Trout. I'm not so sure about mine either. I had intended just to leave mine in their current pots but after hearing your story and looking at pics on here I am now seriously considering transplants... although I have no room for that lol

You could b right about the baby bio. My friend told me the same thing, that he was told to stay well clear of it.
But...
The others seem to love it! :-S
Either way, this 2L feed mixture is running out this week so I'll leave baby bio it out of the next mix.
But... again lol
Little chump (might b it's name from here-in) seems to be growing still, albeit slow as hell, now that I've changed my chamber set up - fans, lights etc AND the new shoots are distinctly purple in colour - could be a good thing? - which is not like the others. Bag seeds remember, I have no idea what they are apart from the sativa characteristics when my mate grew from the same bag.

You say, air pump.
Are you going bubble-hydro? I want to. And I think that my next grow I will attempt it

I've left my babies (I call them babies, as I can't call them girls till I know that they are), for a little while now and growth is good Am looking forward to my Monday update pics!

Another quick, unrelated and off-topic question for you, Troutie;
Do you know anything of flavouring your plants?
I was told that there was a way to add flavour, like lemon or orange or something but I can't remember the method. It may have been putting the juice into the soil or spraying the buds with it or similar - I wish I could remember cos that'd be pretty awesome if I could add some strange and sweet flavouring to the mix!

On another note;

I've still not tested my heat cables. I will try to find time this weekend and come back with the temp results

 

[blueberrylabs]

everything that I've read says that they should be ready to transplant after about 5-7 days, says the roots grow first and then the leaves. But if they are still growing consistantly everyday I don't think they can be root bound yet.

the ill fated stealth PC

View attachment 1841932

ok so today i have had a right touch!.... managed to find a small wardrobe and was given it free of charge... perfect size ...... and here it is

View attachment 1841933
View attachment 1841934

so tonight the fun starts (again!) will be doing the wiring and fitting the fans first, then fitting some battens behind the doors to prevent light leaks......
tomorrows list of jobs are:
buy insulation and fit, buy reflective sheeting and fit, hang the lamp .... then fire it up!

dude thats a sweet cabinet. I have a large chest dresser similar sized, its in my signature if ya got time to check. in regards to the pc cab, what do you have your fans wired into? Is the dc pack 12volts? I had mine wired up with a 5v phone charger and couldn't keep the temp down. Te fans were blowing slow as hell.. Then read more about stuff, and figured out i needed more volts. 12 to be exact. When I rewired it, it was pulling some insane wind i couldnt believe it. It would be clutch to use it as a micro veg chamber til theyre ready to flop in the other box.

well i was gonna be repotting in a week or so anyways... but i think soon would be better then later....
no i'm not gonna do bubble hydro with this grow ... was just going to use the air-pump to airate the water butt, keep the C02 up in the water as i heard they love it.... i was trying to find out how DWC and other hydro setups work at the hydro shop the other day... but the guy as you know is a penus... i am very interested in how it works ... but i would need to know how it works and what i need to run such a setup, and i apologise to anyone on here thats tryed to explain... i just dont understand (but thats because i learn better from seeing things then reading about it)

i think baby bio is probs great after a good few weeks of growth.... but we don't know unless we have previously learn't each harsh leason on our hiding to nowhere LOL

and all i have heard/read is that folks are adding molasses to there feed mix... it increases the sugers used for, or resulting in better buds??? i don't know if this is old wives Bull-s**t, or if it does help at all.... ??? Mrs Kitty might be the best one to ask ..... her thread is like full of stephen hawkins types who know more about nutes and plants then anyone i can think of... i'll ask her next time i see her online

i can't wait to see your little en's ... hurry up monday hehe...

everything that was in the pc has been reused in the wardrobe... plus loads of extra stuff now i have the space...
and yeah i tried some 6 volt power pack ... it was fine for 1 fan ... but i have two fans running off 1 12v charger now... and one of them has a 3 speed switch so i can turn it up or down depending on what the cab temps are doing

aghhh that makes sense ... thanks BBL ... and growth in the last 24 hours has amazed me... sometime this week i'm gonna change the pots so i'll do a growth and repotting update later this week

 

[troutie]

On another note;

I've still not tested my heat cables. I will try to find time this weekend and come back with the temp results

yeah fella ... its finding the time without getting in trouble for spending to much time and attention on something else (i know that one)... but as soon as you have some results hit me up.... i wanna know badly

 

[troutie]

ok folks unfortunatly something has come up that needs me to be away from my pc and my girls for a couple of days .... so dont think i'm ignoring any of ya's, i will try to get wireless access but if i go quiet don't think i've abandoned you's ... much love and grow stealthy.. i'll be back 2 days

oh btw next update will be cool ... i'm well chuffed with them this week

 

[onlycucumbershere]

Peace man. You dun know.

 

[dopeyG]

lookin pretty good so far, thought i'd follow your grow since you were following mine you usin cfls? lookin forward to your next update

 

[troutie]

sweet as!!!! jump in and find a warm spot!

 

[anotherdaymusic]

hows the progression coming troutie?

 

[troutie]

truely unreal....... i can't beleive the growth on these things in the last 24 hours........ don't get me wrong there little plants but they seem to grow much faster then anything i've ever grown before

 

[anotherdaymusic]

haha. Dude, they will be doubled in size in about 4-5 days. Once they get a couple more leaves, they take off! unless you start topping it, it slows growth a lot for a few days.

 

[troutie]

no topping at all .... and another thing i did notice... they STINK already!

 

[anotherdaymusic]

WHat! really? is it a autoflowering? U sure its just not plant smell? I psyched myself for a couple days once, then my autoflowering strain skunked and I was like oh. a hahaha

 

[troutie]

yeah they are auto's .... and no its defo stinking like a damp bag of ripe weed and strong

 

[anotherdaymusic]

hahaha yes! thats what i like to hear. I got a diesel ryder growing with my mothers, and Its tiny and budding, I am happy as shit. lol congrats my friend!

 

[troutie]

thanks .... mine are 4" max .... but like you say it seems now they have a couple of leaf sets there speeding up ... i don't much care about yeilds and size .... these things are like pocket sized FUN!
