Hey ya'll I gotta an idea of what I can do with my regs that are growing along side my auto's...I am growing in a tent ...and let me tell ya these suckers( especially the regs) are just exploding. They are stretching over my HBD's so ...my idea is to fashion a sort of rosin paper tent along the back wall of my tent( where I just moved the regs) and just drape the roll(cut to fit and doubled if needed) down over them every day about 6 hours or so earlier than my auto's take their nap. Any comments ..suggestions...better ideas? I am open to ANY help as I really want to pull them and harvest them all together. Here are a couple of recent pics...taken the first of this week...i am at day 26 today so the pics are a few days ago. I am just starting to flower. Let me tell ya from a seasoned outdoor grower I AM IN LOVE WITH INDOOR HYDRO...IT'S SOOOO FREAKING FAST
Sorry about the long absence. I will get some pics today. I have snipped a bud here and there on a couple but they are still pretty looking pretty full.
These are some pics from a couple of days ago...I had very slow germination so it seems I am a few days behind ya teflon...I have one that is faster than the rest of the HBD but I have 2 leaping ahead of the rest of the onyx. It is hard to see with my crappy camera but the branches are a absolutely covered with new bud sites.These are roughly the size of a penny, I think they may need training bras. I have just changed the water and beefed up the bloom...the AN grow -micro-bloom I have been usung a 1-1-1 ratio but now I am switching to a 1-2-3 and added some bud blood...from what AN says this will act similar if not better than the bud ignitor it store vital potasium back for when they begin to swell later( supposedly) From what I read the reaction and the chemistry is similar to guano and fish emulsion with much much more. I have a couple of straglers and I am beginning to think that either it was the rockwool or the seedbank that I ordered them from...I'm not talking the ones you can see I have 2 that look to be in week 2 or so(one of which actually is...I went to throw away the unsprouted seeds...saddened by my germ rate of about 70% I gave it one last soak and to my surprise one was already sprouted(a regular/photoperiod) and later that day one had a little tail. so into the medium it went and I stuck it right in the basket...It is getting blocked out from the light so I will most likely transplant to some dirt or something dunno yet...if you look at the rear of the tent in the pic of the overall view you can see my remedy for the Reg/photo plants...so I can get them sexed and flowering. I had this blackout curtain and I get up and cover them at 7am and uncover at 7pm...i know this is a serious amount of time involvement but what can ya do ..Hope ya'll like the pics I will let you know for sure if Bud blood is worth the $ or not
Hey teflon has any of your leave had like a tiger stripe sort look to them? All but one of mine has the deep dark greenish blueish color with a lighter shade of green kinda striped on every leaf? Even the Onyx has this but in green to lime green...some are like the pic below on the left ...circular and with a chunky sorta bud and others seem to be covered with hairsand different it's hard to explain but the pic on the right will show you. Let me know what your experience has been ..IMO I believe it is just the different traits of the different genetics being brought out more in certain ones and others in other ones ...the thing is they are on both types of autos.. so either way.. keep me posted I am shooting to have my mini-sea of green put out as beautiful buds as yours...really nice buds there man.. how much dry weight are you pulling of each plant? Is the standard Oz a plant pretty common or is it more the better ones out of the bunch?
I have been doing better than an ounce on most. I have gotten up two and a quarter oz. I have had some leaves turn purplish and yellow in late flower but not so much during the the beginning. View attachment 1464539

Not shown are 2 (1 onyx and 1 BHD) diesel dominant the rest are all uniform so i am guessing the norm. the diesel dominant is over 3 feet tall and just forming solid tops the rest are way shorter except the blue dom it is nearly the same height I am blown away at how good the Bud Blood just exploded the bud sites ...shoots with the same size tops are popping up everywhere..I have nearly 20 on the pic 2nd from the left then the other side of the same plant is 2nd from the right and the right is one of the secondary tops on the blue bhd..I'll keep ya posted and totally recommend Onyx and the bud blood(AN)...it is a bud site explosion I only used the 1st 2 weeks of budding and they went from 5 to 7 buds to 15-20 in a matter of days literally
Heres a couple of the blueish HBD there are a few shoots not seen popping up all around it...about 4 not shown all a little smaller than the central top..and a side view of the central forming up on an Onyx that has about 15 or so solid tops as big as this one nearly solid bigger than my thumb and as round as a silver dollar ..day 38....believe it or not my 2 hbd's that are different than the norm are taller than the onyx ...weird
So there have been a lot of things going on around the dummy ranch. I got my cabinet from Home Depot it is one of the plastic ones. 30"x20"x70". I had to scale back the number of bulbs but I still think I can keep 10-12 smaller plants going in it. I am going to upgrade the exhaust fan tomorrow an try to make a carbon filter.
