Club 600

38 days flower,tora bora

Class G^^^^^^

I had to laugh at the guy on the video when he said Hoop House.....sorry, I am immature sometimes.

that tora bora is comin along great Gen, i would like to get my hands on some of that i like the indicas

hotsause-I use Azamax as a dip for my smaller plants at 10 ml a quart, as a spray at 10 ml to a gallon, and i dont know about the soil drench application. In the later stages of flower, I try to keep the spray to the underside of the leaves. I have smoked quite a bit of herb that has been sprayed, and I havent ever tasted it. I also havent sprayed past week 7 (my strains harvest around week .

Well im not in up to 600w but i have a 400w.
but i cant wait for my church and apollo aurora to get bigger and then onto flowering. i think that they are too small for a post in here yet.

Thanks DST for allowing me to post my Church in here. i also have a apolloaurora plant growing too. but here are pics from a day or two ago. Only time ill post some in veg in here.
The church i think i FIM right. but i only wantd to top here but i think i shall get 4 main colas. tell what you guys think. Im gonna LST both plants to have an even canopy.

the apolloaurora is toppd only.
well here are those pics:

she is a good one,
but i think she might have started to
get ripe too soon,do to the (gassing)

DST said:

Sorry Hotsause, missed your post there.....never used Azamax, all I can say is read the instructions carefully, you don't want to spray it on your bud if it's gonna make them taste funny. I am sure I read on our thread someone mentioning it before. Might be better to cut your losses at this stage and harvest!! Someone help Hotsauase with his AZAMAX question please?

Thanks DST i dont feel forgotten about anymore lol

Stirctly

I did my first spray and have not seen a sign since but i guess time will tell. I was planning to harvest on Thursday but i am not seeing as many Clear Trics as i though i would. My plant has the DONE look but there are still alot of Clear trics instead of cloudy

anyone no how big of an pump
i'll need to get one of these running right.

Yo i got the answer to your question Genuity. Will explain below.

Heads Up said:

Speaking of pumps. I've been looking at youtube vids and apparently even someone as mechanically challenged as me can build a cloner. Here's the question, let's say I'm going to have a ten gallon container to hold my cloning solution. What size pump would I need for the misting nozzles to work properly? Secondly, how important is the water temp in a cloner? What should the water temp be? I know nothing about hydro, other than it means water. I really only want something big enough to put out six clones at a time, maybe eight.

Click to expand...

Sorry I missed this post Headsup. You dont need a very large pump at all. A walmart dual port aquarium pump will be all you need. You want to get some good airstone though as these are what creates the bubbles that burst on the waters surface causing a misting action to the clone stems. The reason you want a dual port is so you can run a Y splitter off each line and run 2 airstones per port. So you get a total of 4 airstones pushing the bubbles to the waters surface. I have experimented extensively with my cloner and have actually added a second pump. But im also using quite a large amount of water in it so its neccisary in my situation. The shallower the tote the less need for a high volume pump. Keep this in mind when building your cloner headsup. You dont need much, about an 8 inch deep storage tote should work well for a 12 site cloner. Just make sure to black it out, find a black one or foil tape the outside to keep all light out as it will cause algae growth and slime up your roots.

As far as the temps go I just use regular tap water straight into the cloner. I havent noticed any need to monitor water temps. Room temp is good. Maybe come winter i may have to heat the water some. That can be acheived with a simple aquarium heater. They also make chillers if heat becomes an issue.

Im here to help any way i can. I really want to find some time to do a cloning tutorial. Until i get some time I give you permission to bug me with questions hahaa. It really is quite simple once you get the hang of it.

i got a 50gal drum,i just need to know how big of an pump
to run in it.

Click to expand...

Ok genuity heres what you need. I also have a 55 gallon drum for my hydro setup which ive yet to run. I bought this pump at lowes for $70.00 US.


This pump will accept a garden hose on the top fitting and can then be attached to your watering wand. I think this is the smallest model they had at lowes. I have used mine when i was test flooding my hydro setup. I filled my system with about 50 gallons of water before leaks sprung. I then was able to quickly draine the systen using this pump in a few minutes flat. This sucker pumps some H2O. And now that you have brought up the wand idea i dont know why in the hell im still watering with milk jugs lol.

Off to the beach for some beers and buds. Peace 1BMM

1BMM,thanks for that
these 14 pots will suck watering by hand,
with a one gallon pot.

masonman, you're speaking bubbleponics I presume, versus having nozzles spray the cuttings? In your method, how far from the stems does the water level need to be for the bubbles to be effective?

Another general topic question. Whey you guys start your flower cycle, do you cut out all veg nutes?

Hey Im back been long time. C99xdeep chunk is some heavy duty smoke...Fucks my hair up everytime, gotta be careful with it. And I seen major improvements switching over from fox farms to advanced nutrients. Heavier yields plus a sweeter taste and a big time difference in the potency. Hey heads Up I usually hit mine with a heavy dose of nitrogen about the 3rd week of flower. I notice that my leaves would yellow and start falling off sooner than I wanted them too

Sounds good to me willie, the c99. I've been trying to practice the let your plants tell you what they need method of growing, however, the method I've developed over the past couple of grows is to water and feed my plants almost every day. For one I don't grow in huge containers, the largest I've used is a three gallon container. I also experiment with different containers, I generally don't use the term pots, I've never used a flower pot, although I've smoked pot that's flowered. Last grow was in three gallon trash cans, this one is in smart pots, one and two gallon. I've also used different sizes of grow bags.

I have found at least for myself, feeding them with every watering at low doses, seems to keep the plants more vigorous. They generally don't show any deficiencies until weeks into flower when low levels of nitrogen start showing. At the first signs of yellowing into flower, I too give them a good dose of nitrogen and every couple of weeks a lower dose.

This person is saying, don't make the mistake of letting your night time temps drop too low. There is a lot of discussion I've read on this subject but most of it says you want a drop of at least ten degrees at night with lights out. Chilly temps will definitely change the looks of some girls at the end of flowering. His whole point is that a big drop in temperature change also causes a big rise in humidity with your lights out which in turn is almost inviting mold to move into those beautiful thick buds you have been nurturing for weeks. Thick indicas are certainly prone to mold. He says keep your lights out temps in the low seventies. In another article in this magazine another person says keeping your lights out temps fairly close to your lights on temp, it will help to keep the plants stretching down. So, another benefit of not having a significant temp drop at night. My temps are only changing five degrees, lights on/off.

Edit...it's seven, time to see the babies.

Click to expand...

When I start 12/12 I usually give it a full bloom feeding to jump start it. Then next feeding a 1/2 veg 1/2 flower. Next feeding 1/4 veg 3/4 flower. Then back to full flower feeding from then on out. Unless signs of N def are shown, then I may add a little veg nute with the flower. It may sound weird, it helps to keep my leaves greener longer though. Alos, it depends on the strain I grow too. Some strains I've noticed I feed a whole lot less nutes to to keep happy.

EDIT: Just read you guys do the same sorta thing too. I guess it's not so weird after all.

Heads up, do your plants soil/containers dry out pretty quick? I water every 3 days, and I use these pots (pic attached, 2 gal, for air-root pruning) and I thought my soil dried out pretty fast. there's no way I could water everyday like your sayin you can do tho. Maybe you've got fairly bigger plants in yours? Just curious man.

Urban Garden magazine is a good read, with free samples by mail every now and then. My buddy just wrote an article for the last issue. Same guy that makes my nutes, Heavy 16.

Yes that would suck. And that is what inspired me to build a hydro / Bubbleponics system. It is a bit of a chore to water when the gals get big and trying not to splash the leaves with the nutes that will burn under the hid's. I do however like growing in soil. Just seems to be more natural and forgiving than if you slip up on a hydro grow. Lots of stuff to keep in check.

Yes indeedy Headsup. Simple bubbleponics. I have seen the sytem you are getting at though and it looks the buis. There was a poster here on the 600 a ways back Tat2ue that had a cloner to drool over. its was a misting type cloner. May have a new winter project now. Love to build shit.

Good question. My leaves are dropping and ive noticed the N is lacking in the FF diet flower period.

Glad your back with us Willie. What are you using from the AN lineup. So many to choose from.

Smokes flowered pot. Me too holmes me too. So N is good in late flower?

Heads Up said:

So I been reading this magazine called Urban Garden, that came with my last order of 'stuff' from a supply house. I've read the article that most caught my eye, very interesting and easy to understand even though he's talking science or botany if you prefer.

I would like to recommend to everyone, if you can find it, read it. If you order something, ask if they have it. It doesn't mention marijuana at all, yet there is no doubt it is what they are discussing.

I just noticed that on the cover, I've never been to the website.

Hmm interesting. My lights out drops quite sharply as ive been letting the AC run. Seems to always be a steam bath in the cave.

Not speaking for HU but i use the same trash cans and mine are dry almost daily. They are 3 gal and not really ideal for growing. I have to water every day to every other day. However the small containers they are keep a small stout plant if that is a desireable outcome.

Peace 1BMM
