1st Grow >>> OG KUSH 9 wks into flower

Updated pics...

Well guys and gals, this is my first medical grow with a og kush clone from my local dispensary/care giver. I have went through many trials and tribulations and have learned sooooo much from people on these boards. I purchased Lowryder 2/ LR2 and figured what the hell am i doing with such a small scale grow. I went through that process and only harvested about 1/2 oz. WTF, .... I purchased a clone from a local dispensary after trying their meds and i loved it. I started off with 2 clones with only one surviving...... >>>> here we go!


Here they are @ 4 wks flower and all the way through 7-8 wks of flower.

They were once organized using LST and other techniques, but that was due to a lack of verticle space i had in my first cabinet. As soon as i placed them into my new homebox XL with 1000W Eye Hortilux HPS i untied the baby and let her go. The buds on this thing began to get heavy and droop everywhere.

Im not sure on the flowering time on this baby, but i checked the trichromes and their about 75% cloudy, 5% amber, 20% clear. I really wanna chop it down so i can get my White Widow, Northern Lights, and OG in for my next beginner hydro grow.

If you guys got any suggestions for me in terms of time, quality, and looks, please let me know because im still a beginner and am open to all comments. As for the grow itself i have been on a cycle of Fox Farms Nutes Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom, all in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil. Since these pics, i have staked and supported the heavier colas and it looks a bit more organized than the last 2 pics. Im currently flushing with Ph'ed water but am still using the organic big bloom until harvest.

looks great man. i hope i can have a plant like that someday

damn....this thing is beautiful. i just bought big bloom and tiger bloom and plan to just use those.im using ocean forest so i didnt see the need to buy grow big.did you follow the feeding schedule?

that plant looks amazing... i wanna eat it! yummy....

yeah, i followed FF schedule throughout the grow, but i kinda screwed up during its cycle. It is imperative that you read the directions carefully because it says every other watering. I accidently fed it everywatering until i noticed i was getting burn leaf tips. After that i checked the PPM of the runoff using a tri-meter and it read in the 2100 range which is way too much! I flushed it with Flora Kleen and am now on a Ph water cycle using big bloom until the day i chop her down. The runoff Ph was 6.2-6.4 so at least i got that in check.

Do you not need to use grow big when you have the fox farms ocean forest? I am using both am I wasting my time?

i think the ocean forrest has enough in it to keep the plant going for the first month.

can u just go what the bottle says:

big bloom- use when first signs of sex appear
tiger bloom-use when your near harvest

IMO its best to go with the schedule thats provided on the pamphlet rather than the one based off the back of the bottle. I have never gone more than the required amounts in tsp/tbsp because under ferting is usually safer than overferting i think. The soil itself on the other hand has a bunch of nutritional value so it should be good by itself. What i did notice was that during vegg, the grow big really helped a lot, a night and day difference in terms of overnight change. Transplanting/correct pot size was a hugh factor for me as well with this strain. Rootbound = no good. This grow started off with a 250 MH > 400 HPS > into 1000W eye hortilux HPS. I'll post pics of my current setup for ya'll to check out too.

> Jacks > I myself used FFoF mixed with some starting mix from Lowes that contained perlite & vermiculite (fluffy mixture) about 85% FF and 15% fluff mix. Using the grow big is definitely worth it since that was probably for me the best thing i have used that made a hugh difference in MY grow. Use it accordingly and all should be well!

your telling, me after one use the next day my plant was bigger. so far ive only been mixing 1 tablespoon of big bloom to a gallon.and no deficiancys at all. what was the doseage you were mixing in one gallon?

wow! thats 1 plant you must have topped the hell out of it. looks awesome you gonna get a nice yeild from that mate! congrats

Yes Sir, that there is only one plant with no topping only Fim'd once @ 4 points. Most of the training was done LST style because i thought i was too inexperienced to pinch or scrog for my first grow. I used the grow big with great results along with the big bloom. Big Bloom by itself, i didn't see a noticeable change but since its 100% organic and wont burn the plant so i figured i could continuously use it with no prob. As for my mix its been 3 tsp of grow big & 2 tbls big bloom during veg. then 12/12 only tiger & big with a 2 week cycle of grow/ big bloom mid-flowering @ wks 2-3.5 of flower.

for flowering

here's my current clone/mother box. This is where i vegged and partially flowered the OG. That in there is a 250W MH but i decided to use some cfl's to drop closer to my DIY clone box. Due to height contraints and quantity, i decided to invest in a homebox XL with 6 X 5 gallon bucket aero/DWC hydro system. I'll post some pics of that too with my soil OG plant chillen waiting to be plucked.

the schedule says for the first weeks of flowering use 2 tsp tiger bloom per gallon & 1 tbl big bloom per gallon. 2-3.5 wks into flower add 2 tsp grow big/ 2 tsp gallon/ 1 tbl gallon for 2 weeks then complete the flowering cycle using 2 tsp tiger per gallon & 1 tbl big bloom per gallon until harvest. I hope thats clear, if not try searching for FF feding schedule and follow that like i did.

here are a few more pics as of today.

I actually chopped a few of the lower/inner flowers today.

Does it look like OG to you! Please let me know or post some pics to compare.

These are @ Day 55 of flower. How long does OG take to finish because the trichs are still mostly clear from what i observed today! After closer inspection, more cleat than cloudy on the main colas.

I want to Smoke that plant.. Props, Excellent Job

Yeah, that is one killer looking plant. One that I'm sure many people on here would strive to grow. Excellent work.
