Hopefully mine will be too!! that would make a great 420.
ya was kinda hectic but he was cool about it and i made sure there was nothing related to pot in plain sight.
ya the TD's seem to be growing a bit slower than the others but that might just be cuz they were the last to sprout.

will have an update with pictures in a few!

The babies are looking good just gave them so water thats been sitting out for 5 days and ph'd to 6.4

the 3 bagseeds are really showing their traits early
2 that are tall with green stems and the 3rd shorter with a purple stem, hmm maybe 2 sativa dom phenos and a indica i like variety =)
Sativa Doms



Indica baby

c-13 haze is still ridiculously tall very sativa dominant gunna need alot of LST!


power skunk not sure what to say looking like a nice little plant =)


blueberry bubblegum are looking nice and healthy with a nice purple sheen to it already i think my night time temps might be too low and slowing their growth all the plants that is, i mean they are growing just seems slow



the cheese quakes are looking nice and healthy hoping for 2 females but hey even if i get males im gunna keep that pollen for breeding experiments!



and last but not least my little baby tangerine dreams!!! still small but they are doin work!




hope everyones having an awesome week! i know i am! And when life is good.... just damn Life is Great!

peace everyone,
mcgyver

the tall girl i topped at second internode yesterday and she is doing well and showing new growth already all in all they are growin at a quick rate i gotta say hydro is impressive for a growing method i dont think i will ever go back to soil maybe if i do some clones outdoors not sure i can actually set up a nursery side and rotate through veg and flower. Mac i am interested in learning more bout the LST process might give it a shot see how it goes anything that increases yield is good right and as long as this is a learning journey might as well jump right in from the high dive

exactly man gotta go for the gusto!!
they look really good, im not a fan of topping or fiming just because i dont like to hurt my plants or cause them undo stress
LST is low stress training.
basicall when they get between3 and 5 nodes you use something to bend the stem over down to the soil and the nodes all start growing up as the plant redistributes auxins ( growth hormone) from the apical meristem ( main stem) and takes them to the nodes and creates multiple new meristems. so basically keeps the plant shorter dont have to worry about how far the light is because stretch is kind of good at this point. makes them bigger .

once i start on my plants i will do a guide or at least post the methods here.
LST will be crucial for me since i have everything from almost pure sativa's and almost pure indica's so this is one way to make sure they are all the same height.

got any questions bout anything ask me. i love to help!
i spend alot of my time researching all the diff methods and everything and id say in hydro for LST the best system would be a DWC(deep water culture) bucket so that u can use the bucket as a tie down. but im not a hydro guy i love the soil grown organics! cant beat the taste!
have a good one guys!

well guys been a day or two now and not much for pic updates i did try a couple of things with the tall BBG shw was strerchin out way faster than the other so i opted to LST her and she just started to grow faster which kinda threw me for a loop didnt expect that so i decided to top her early at the 2nd node and she is still on track showin new growth and i suceeded in slowing her up a bit and getting the stretch under control. I cant believe how much i have learned in the last 3 1/2 weeks who wouldve thought right.So i decided to get the journal in order and document everything i have done and get a record of the grow and things i have done which seem unorthodox according to alot of the different journals and growers i ve read up on in the process of the learning to grow but all are welcome to read and give their thoughts I m still gonna do things different thats just me though lol have a great weekend all more pics maybe tommorow or monday

sounds great kid! I am a firm believer in LST for the simple fact ive seen 4 oz off 1 plant with LST and from the bucket it was less than 2 ft tall!!! ridiculous
sounds like hydro might kick my soils ass on spped!
I was wonderin what kinda temps do you have going on?
I've been having trouble getting it perfect usually a hgih of 80 and a low of 50-60 when the lights go off. pretty sure thats the reason why they are turning purple so i turned off the exhaust fan and hope that helps. going to top one of the bag seed soon as they are getting to their second nodes and i wanna slow them up so the rest can catch up... also have two tops to LST muahahahah

Kid you should make a journal like this so we can follow! i wanna see this comparison!

your temps sound alright Mac my room temp avg is usually 77deg my low has been 62deg and just hit a high of 95deg today before that it was 82deg i did notice the girls liked the warmer temp and showed more growth i also monitor the humidity and try to keep it around 40-45% so i might be rethinking the temp situation and run it a little warmer i dont have to use the exhaust fan much as of yet
IMAG0098.jpgIMAG0095.jpgIMAG0094.jpgIMAG0097.jpgIMAG0096.jpgthese are the girls as of yesterday and the baby TD which sprouted on the 26th I am going to write a journal but keep getting booted and have to resign in by the time i get it written and pics added been trying for 2 days now lol but i plan on updating everything and getting a semi accurate record from 1/3/2011 till present so be watchin i should have itup in day or two well thats all for now peeps

Ok bros here it is finally got the thread started and up to date this is the title under grow journals i have the correct timeline adjusted sorry bout the mishap was a little hectic for awhile on account of trying to get everything completed and running smooth but if you follow the pics they are all dated with date and time stamp and more pics will be posted monday. I have lots of time as i am currently laid-off til mid march or april so will try to keep the journal current with in a couple of days anyway.Thanks again Mac hope you didnt mind me posting here while i got my act together i am pretty stoked to see how the hydro vs soil comparison turns out well till monday bros later and best wishes and many awesome blossoms for the future




7th try to do this (Journal Record 1/3/2011-current)

See your still trucking along man . LST is the way to go . I been training my plants and have it mastered . I'm Organic soil and on my last setup (veg in 1g flower in 3 g ) I got 1 1/4 oz. I am now vegging up to a 3g then flowering in a 5g . I calculating 3oz with the same strains and hoping to bust the 4oz mark . Organics done properly can match the hydro yields .

I'm trying to go organic next grow with subcools super soil recipe! im going to go into 5 gal smart pots, straight from these cups to those i think thats the best for training as you dont have to change pots one you start training. 1 1/4 per plant isnt bad at all i got just under and oz a plant in 5 gals my first time ever. would love to be able to cop 3 or 4 zips per plant. with 10 plants damn!!!! thats a shit load lol.

kid try throwing a link to your grow in your signature. no worries its been good to have to comparison and it would be sick if you posted pics here maybe once a week so we can get a good comparison of hydro v soil. sux about being laid off bro! i feel you tho im a student but i work over summer and wish i could find a job during school.
picture update today when lights go on!!

Ok so i been fucking up on cheese quakes genetics since the beginning lol it does not have any romulon or c-99 in it. its a hybrid of space queen x cheese x purple urkle i was just a little off haha. but i know why its cuz space queen is romulon x c-99. stoner mix up haha.

and now pictures!!! i topped the biggest of the bag seed after its second node just to see what happens.



2 of 3 of the Tangerine dreams look like they have big rust spots on them and the third has its first set of leaves coming out all fucked up.





Good new is that all the others look great! and heres the pics of the crew
sorry but short on time so not labeling










and a pic of my temp meter! gotta love it


Hope y'all have a great day!!!!

I would say the soil is a bit dry in the cups. Probably leading to the deficiency on the leaves. I can see where the soil has pulled away from the cup edge, you want to water right before that point. Dry roots cant eat.
I use the same cups but add perlite to my soilless mix. Then i poke holes in the bottom of the cup for run off.
That way I never really have to worry about overwatering, while keeping the soil quite moist by feeding a weaker nute solution more often.

Looking awesome bro!!

the babies look good Mac hope those TD come around soon but they should be fine if you can fix the prob. i found that new seedlings arent as fragile as everyone seems to make out.The timeline is pretty close if yours sprouted fast my BBG gitls would have been 7 days old on the 17th as the seeds i started on the third never became viable sprouts the 2 that are growing came from the second set of seeds i started on the morning of the 9th roughly.I think i can say the second TD i started on the 22nd isnt going to sprout still have day and half for the ten day mark but i wont trash it til day 14 just to be sure this is why cloning is going to be a big part of my grow room as much as we spend on these genetics they should be guaranteed viable if not replaced by the breeders.Ok off to see if i can attach a link to my signature.
