2nd grow, 1st scrog 2x3 closet, Cotton Candy, Taste Bud, Seedism ufo*

I started a thread to show off this grow in the nube section but figured out how to do a journal on here and since you all have been so nice to share knowledge perhaps what I have learned may help someone else, if nothing else it is nice to see these strains grown out before making such an investment such as this.*Basic rundownVeg from seed, Delicious*seeds*fem- cotton candy(back left large pot)Seedism taste bud reg(front, smaller blue container)*Seedism ufo either killawatt, blzbud, cheese, diesel, applejack(back right large)Vegged a month under cfl and 150w hpsMoved under 400w MH and screen for a weekSwitched to 12/12 400w hps on new yearsRecently added a 85w cfl in one of the cornersOrganic soil growPromix w sea based compost and mykos, perlite, lava rock, peagravel, organic mushroom compost, worm cast, some recycled soil from 1st growSo far they have been inoculated with stump tea mykos twiceMade 3 vermicompost teas so far. Simple...worm poo(4-6 cups), alfalfa meal(1tablespoon), grandmas unsulfered molasses(<1tablespoon), used some mushroom compost in the 1st tea too.*Also started using calmag and epsom salt foliar for a mad deficency, otherwise these have been very healthy and grown vigourously from seed. Pics coming >>>

Looking good banana444, after not being on the forum for a long time I am pleased to see a TasteBud diary going.

Consider me hooked to this thread.

Peace

I think I got one of the last packs of tastebud back in october thru attitude, they have been sold out since then. The next updates gonna be good . I think my ufo might be killawatt

Wow, that is a lot packed into a small closet! Temps must get a bit high in there with 400w?

No not at all, i keep it around 77 with lights on. Temps are no issue with my 454cfm fan.

Update, snapped some pics before the lights came on. But i am having trouble uploading pics...hmm i guess i will try later

Feel free to ask questions, post comments in this journal. I will at least be by once a week to update. Would anyone know or be able to identify the ufo, I have been thinking its either kilawatt or apple jack.

The smell in the last couple weeks has become fantastic. I have been sick and can't smell too well but when I open that door, its like getting punched in the face. I am going to start inducing some slightly lower nighttime temps to see if they will show some color. So far the seedism ufo is the frostiest. I can't believe how frosty it already is. The taste bud has developed very few trichs so far. With only about a month to go, I can't wait to see what happens. My 1st grow was 2 very small plants and they both had nitrogen deficiency early in flower and the buds were not any fatter than then ones I have going now. I would love to see these fatten up like some of you guys. I have been reading some hemp bucket grows and it has got my attention. I have this set up for a perpetual harvest, about once every 2 months. If I can get a tent and another 400w ballast this year I might see if I can pull a harvest almost every month. Right now I got some RD el jefe seedlings started for the next round. I also couldn't help but start the dinafem blue hash freebie I had. I will keep the pics coming.

I wish I could get better pictures! These pics barely do justice, as there are just over 40 bud sites and they are beginning to fill into one full cola. There just is not enough room for a camera. I think I need a bigger closet.

keep it up. Looks great

Above is a few i snapped as the lights came on. I made another ACT using 4 cups worm casting, 1tablespoon alfalfa meal, 1tablespoon molasses, 1 chamomile tea bag and aerate for 24hrs in 3 gallons of RO water. This is the tea i have been using throughout this grow and they seem to love it. I really want to make one of those AACT selfmade brewers i say a thread about. They also got watered yesterday with Neptunes harvest fish and kelp and GH vegan plant booster and CalMag. They buds are really taking off now and the plant on the back right is the ufo freebie i got from seedism, if anyone cares to take a guess i appreciate the response. Its the sativa dominate one on the back right of the closet, it has the red stems from a mag deficiency that showed up in the 2nd week of 12/12. Note to self, add calmag when flowering starts, or even the last week of veg. I think it is either killawatt or applejack, or possibly blzbud, who knows but its def the frostiest of the bunch with the cotton candy a close runner up and still has quite a ways to go with almost all white hairs still. They are also begining to use up those lowest level sun leaves, as they are just begining to take on that week 5 flowering look you want. i couldnt be happier right now. Oh yea and did i mention they stink to high heaven, its hard to describe the smell of 3 different strains packed into this tiny space. Everytime i remove a dead leave of something my arm comes back stinking to high heaven. Another note to self, get a new carbon filter. My little 4" i started off with is slowing reaching the end of its life.

No guesses on my ufo? Im leaning towards applejack...whatever it is I really want to know. I would def order this strain again. I bet it would really do amazing outdoors.

Hi, the freebie pack had a mixture of seeds in them.

Two dominant sativa's we are working on are possible candidates.

1. Big Red ( Strawberry Cough x Bubba Kush )
2. Caramel Haze ( Caramella x Amnesia Haze )

The other possibility is that it is a BLZBud ( Sativa dominant, there were a dozen or so divided through the packs )

I will keep checking your thread to see if they get easier to identity later.

Looking goo.

Wow they are really starting to fatten up. They have really started to drink more. I put a full gallon in each of the big pots and it soaks the whole pot because if i add another half liter water runs out the bottoms. Trying to avoid that since im tight on space and cant really clean under the pots too well. Anyways this is what i have been water with the last two waterings, every 3 days now
1gal ro water
2.5ml GH florablend vegan booster
2ml calmag
1/2tbl spoon grandmas unsulfered mollases robust
1/2tbl spoon neptunes harvest fish/kelp

And heres what i got going, switched 12/12 on new years so this is week 6 entering week 7. Oh yea they are really starting to pull the nitrogen from the low sun leaves. I collect several each day, they are hard to spot sometimes with the density. Smell is amazing, i had to replace my carbon filter thats been running since last oct. It was a cheapo, like 35$, it worked but has not lasted long. I plant to refill it with new carbon and make it a 6" filter.

Amsterdammer, I forgot to add, the ufo has just begun to turn a little purple on one of the main tops. I am going to bring my low temp down tonight by a couple degrees. My low temp is reading 68 degrees Fahrenheit from last night and the lowest it has been is 66.

I am planning on doing a two stage harvest when it comes time. But I may leave one of the main tops on the ufo go longer and I will pull her out intact and get a real good photo, so just bear with me and im sure we can ID it.

Haha dude this journal is nice you are gonna have some dank flowers! It's funny though you should check out my journal. I'm in a 2x3 space with same reflector and same screen 3 plants. A lot of similarities. Do you have any pics from when you were vegging and first flipped to flower to see how full the screen was?
