Thundercat's Groooooooow

[jigfresh]

Nothing major, I'm not worried about it, just figured it's getting time to do something or other to them. They are in seedling starter soil stuff, so I think there are minimal to no nutrients in that stuff (i don't know... complete soil noob here). You can see in the first pic there are the two on the right, and one on the bottom of the second pic.

And I appreciate all the ideas from you and others... at this point any input helps me get a picture of the kind of things that go on when growing like this. I suppose I could go read up on things like I did before growing in hydro, but I'm a lazy old man now. It's much more fun to ask my friends than go research.

Oh, and a fact that might help... I don't have any bottles of anything. I'm just trying to use soil and additives or whatever you want to call them. Poop, fish meal, etc.

Definitely not bad, I am thinking it could be TEA TIME though. Sadly I can not suggest what to add as far as poop or anything else.

Jig you don't ever have to ask for permission buddy! The Dog and a few other BB genetics are on my list, the Dog specifically from your recommendation Jig so it better be good ! I really agree about the 1gpw being kind of a commercial mark to reach.

I'll swing over and check things out welsh!

Beech you've got me very close to ordering some of those seeds. I was reading about the shoreline a few days ago after you posted that pic of your girls. I sure sounds like some fire, and I don't have anything that is specifically skunk oriented so it would add nicely to the mix .

I say it everyday, but I'm glad I get to, the babies are looking GREAT! They were noticably bigger today, with more leaf sets working their ways out. The clones I took the other day are heavily rooted and need to go in cups, including the Cindy I cloned in flower. The SDG is almost ready to clone again, and the Cindy mom looks very happy and should be a nice mother plant I hope. Tomorrow will prolly be a busy night in the garden I need to harvest, and get another batch of clones into the tray. When I harvest I need to clean the tray a bit as well before I refill it. Also gotta put the clones in cups like I mentioned. Should be tons of fun. I will also have some dry bud pics along with harvest pics tomorrow for you guys!

On the plus side they didn't put me in a cast, just a different type of brace so I still can't move my wrist but at least I can take it off and shower! According to them things looked good today so they are gonna look at the xray they took and I'll go back in 2 more weeks.

Hope you having a nice thursday night guys, I'll catch ya later!

Shoreline got 2nd in the 2012 cup,Ive grown close to 100 strains,and its in the top 5 of all the strains ive grown.
I have a F1 WW and its Frosty but no comparision to the Shoreline,and the smoke comes thru in the taste till the last hit off a Joint.
And stays with you licking lips for a long time!!

Hehe is devils harvest paying you to sell seeds Beech? No I kid, its actually really cool to see you sooo excited about it cus that really seperates it from other strains that people talk about being good. Kinda like Jig with the Dog from BB, when smokers/ growers that have had so much variety like you guys praise something so heavily its gotta be good!

 

[Ninjabowler]

And hes been around the area so hes seen the grass roots grow with it

No Il be Honest it was a bitch,First order was a 5 pack of fems and the seeds looked really immature and even yellowish-green.

Only got 2 to sprout and one was a twin and died! I contacted SOS and told them I was very unhappy long story short they sent me another 5 pack,Still looked bad,But did manage to get 4 to grow.Also did get 2 different phenos,and Im happy happy happy.He Gone!

No offense but it is kinda nice to hear other people that are reputable growers have failures some times too .

Ok so I harvested 12 WW tonight, and I really think I'm gonna be much happier with this crop then the last 2. The buds are really huge this round, and it actually feels like some weight there. The buds seem much denser then the last 2 harvests and more like the WW I'm used to. I didn't get near as much else done since In got a late start but there is always tomorrow ! I've got a few harvest pics and some seedling pics for you guys, dry bud pics will be tomorrow....well I guess much later today since I just saw what time it was.

[smokeytokeybear]

very nice indeed, you sir have a.green thumb, boy i love them turkish royals too
my crit. jack looks.like the.same structure as yours, but male lol

 

[Miss.Rabbit]

Lookin good TC! Those power naps look enticing

 

[whodatnation]

Moving right along TC! Looking good.

 

[DrOfWelshMagic]

they're looking great tc.

Thanks alot guys, I've been really pleased with how things are going lately in the garden. I'm getting ready to go down and work now for a bit get these clones in the tray!

So I'll throw this out there and let you guys bat it around while I'm gone......I've been thinking about trying the advance nutrients ph perfect stuff since I watched that video and did a little reading the other day. I'm not a fan of the price but I was thinking it might be worth giving a try and seeing if I really noticed the difference some people talk about. I've used GH for a few years now with good results, I used fox farms hydro stuff for a few years, I used that Envy which I remember really liking. Just a thought what do you guys think?

 

[whodatnation]

I like my guano and soil

Not trying to defer your ideas or anything but just something I wanna share...I use Dyna Gro... When I use Protekt with the FP my pH comes out and stays perfect ... colleagues who use it in hydro say the same...may be a less expensive set of tools to test??

 

[whodatnation]

AN just rubs me all wrong.

dynagro all the way

 

[Thundercat]

Maybe I'll give the dyna grow a whirl then, I've never even considered that or AN before really. My local shop carries the GH and he loves it so I gave it a try and have been relatively happy I have no real complaints. It seems like since I've been using the floralicious plus I've been getting more residue in my res and my trays which I wouldn 't mind getting rid of. Cleaning that shit is not fun as you guys all know. I'm just toying with different ideas of trying some new things while I'm still running some genetics I'm familiar with so I should be able to judge the differences easier. I really like keeping things simple, which is another reason that AN has always turned me off. I don't want to have to add 13 different things really, I like 2-3 part mixs alot. What dyna grow products do you run kite, and RL420? The whole line up or just specific ones? I've been using the lucas formula with the GH and have you guys tried applying the Lucas to the dyna grow at all?

Whodat I may have to send you some PMs about the soil stuff I'm seriously toying with the idea of buying a tent and another light. If I do I might do some soil, and I'd like to try to set up a water only kinda soil mix idealy to simplify it as much as possible for right now. That being said I would also like to learn to soil grow in a sustainable manner. If the shit were to ever hit the fan not only would I not be able to go buy my nutes, you soil guys won't be able to go buy jamaican poop, and bone meal, and lime and stuff so I'd like to learn how to grow with out any store bought amendments basically. Growing off the grid if you will . I've been trying to learn alot more about this sort of thing, including year round greenhouse growing, and the thing that really gets my attention is the aquaponics. Using the fish to feed the plants, and eventually being able to eat the fish as well depending on what type you use. Sadly most of these projects are on hold till I figure out a way to get a fcking house rrrrrrrrrrrr!

Projects went well tonight in the garden. The wife and I got the tray cleaned out, and I put 15 new clones in the tray. They havn't been sitting around quite as long as my clones some times do between batchs, so the roots were a little wimpy. I trimmed a few things here and there so hopefully it will encourage some root growth along with being in the tray with more light! It was a nice mix of genetics this batch, several of the super sticky strawberry pheno I'm keeping around for now, about 4-5 more Cindys and some WWs. I decided to let the SDG get a little bigger before I put it in. I'm eager to flower it, but I wanna get some bud off it too, not just a teaser. I've decided I'm gonna flower out the critical jacks that I've got and let it go. Its good smoke, but the flavor doesn't really appeal to me that much. I know I still havn't done the smoke reports and dry bud pics, but I will. I don't really know if what I got is really a keeper pheno either or just some good bud. I've still got 2 more of the CJ beans I think so I'll get more chances when I'm ready. Right now I'm putting my focus else were and we'll see what that gets me .

Ok I'm done rambling lol. Hope everyone is having a great weekend !!

Peace TC

Foliage Pro, Protekt, and Mag Pro (ro water)

 

[Ninjabowler]

I went 61 days without phing or rez change as an experiment once, and after all those days the ph rose from 6 - 7 in dwc with a 27 gallon rez for four plants 18 days from clone at flip with the old sensi. Run on sentence but you get the point right? Friends say new stuffs just like the old stuff. Heard wonderful things about dyna but i cant get it.

 

[Thundercat]

I get what your saying Ninja! I've felt that way about the nutes I've tried already. I've never really seen much difference.

Thanks for the list Kite, I wish I could run RO, but sadly its not an option at my current place. I had bought an RO filter when I moved here , but the water pressure is to low and it wouldn't filter anything. I havn't wanted to invest in booster pump since they aren't cheap, and even though my tap isn't great it works(I just got through alot of ph down). My tap is super high ph to start with, which is why when I saw them use the ph perfect on the water that was like 8.5 to start with it really caught my eye. Protekt raises PH doesn't it, I'm kinda afraid of what that might do. I guess the only way to know is buy some quarts and try a batch out . Do you run the same mix the whole cycle, or do you alter it through out?
