DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

wonderful pictures. again and again great job bud.

Looks ripe mate lovely autumn colours

So, the OG Kush's got flushed, the Blackjack got flushed, and the New York 47 got flushed. Headbands remaining fed with the flushed water. Will flush them next week....see how they go. Thelam was fed with BN grond and 1.25ml PK 13/14 per litre (2 litre feed, and some extra plain water.

So here are the girls enjoying a flush:

The big OG Kush, massively leaning over now



Anasazi OG Kush - still in situ




The New York 47:




The Blackjack:





Peace, DST

I feel all weepy now after seeing that lol

nae chance:






Ain't she lovely, well I think so. She looks like she could go a few more weeks...man those nugs are gonna be fat.

So that's my Saturday shenanigans...hope you all enjoy.

DST

did those hb's get any veg time... ?

yes, T they were grown from seed and went into flower after about 6 weeks. some went from seed ininto flower after about 3 weeks veg (the anasazi ones/shelf dwellers)

lol.. i knew that.. idk even know why i ask.. oh yea.. its because they look so compact.. they are all scrumptious lookin ladies

So this is looking into the cab now. Still got lots of girls in there, it's like the Doctor's tardis (perhaps if you're not from the UK you won't know what that is...long story)


I also wanted to share these pics of the first anasazi Headband I snipped down and put in water to soak. since it was effectively growing above the light source we have some strange growth patterns. What I think this show though is that the fan leaves are a very important part during flower and direct sun onto the buds apparently is not 100% essential. Although the top colas are not donkeys. As you can see in these pics, all the long slender stems on the fan leaves. The plant ended up growing on its side (guess what, shock horror, I planted two plants in the same bag!! (an old 40l coco sack) This one grew away from the other, the other stayed more upright. All the stems on this where hanging forward with the fan leaves dangling down....I think these plants are superb, they adapt to whatever you throw at them....even gravity apparently.





The nigs are still looking very nice, as you can see it has stretched so it's not optimum growing your plant above the light source. I perhaps need to think about throwing in an extra cool tube between the two lights and extending the height of the tower to spread the lighting out. Perhaps this might help with light wave cross over, which I would have thought reduced light output? i.e when the peaks and troughs of the lightwaves cross and cancel each other out? (if you get my high school physics logic) anyone?

Thoughts, comments, welcome.

Peace, DST

having a blaze over there, T?

this pheno type just seems to be a little shorty. you could almost market them as stealth plants. All the nugs on them are super rock. I have 2 moms of these at the moment in my living room. I got 5 clones of this type on the go, and one of the thelma pheno which also looks like it flowers longer. But I think Hayduke also has different flowering lengths for his HB's.

So when are you going to do a video tour of you grow space?

I done 2 before but I removed them already ( I think), they just take so much time, and in a week there will only be a couple of plants in there...there will be more to come though!!

yes, actually i was at the moment.

so u have a short flowering stealthy strain.. guess you got lucky. you'll have to update us on the yield when its dry.

wot bit like wen ur mixing two of the same tune u can phase the beats out by slightly off setting them?

Man Dst. that Blackjack looks so tasty. I've heard a lot of good things about that strain. Looking forward to your opinion on it.

Quite possibly, not a dj so couldn't say 100%. Light like a lot of things travels in waves. With peaks and troughs. When light crosses, certain peaks and troughs can effectively cancel each other out. It like when you have a gap in the curtains and the light seems to split into lines of shadow and light...this is what is happening there..

EDITrobably not the best time to be trying to explain my self, lol

It's been a pleasure to grow, real easy. It's grown in a 4 litre pot and the nugs are fat as, would like to see it in a bigger pot next time round.....will provide a report on my thoughts when the time comes round.

Nice work D. very impressive

I am not sure, but I think the speed of the wave needs to be changed...like being interrupted by the curtain? It seems like the physics experiment involved slits which interrupted/allowed varying thicknesses of light.

Although you still may want some space between bulbs so as to not be reflecting off each other and hot spots? I don't really know for sure

Although I have harvested at different times, all my headbands are from 3 original cuttings (re-vegged)...all from the same mother. Mine usually go 10 weeks then some dark time...this morning would have been 48 hours on one and I won't get to it tomorrow

Thanks for the visits peeps.

I think most of these HB girls are 10 week + girls....Thelma is just unstoppable though. Not sure what's going to happen with her.

easy big D have had a look on some external sites but cant find much anything about light overlap but from what i did read i'm not sure if it does? i'd love to find out other wise. i just kept on reading when light overlaps some people think its double 600+600 = x foot candles some think its a bit less due to distance etc.
know its meandering of the original peaks and troughs concept but do understand that principle but not sure its relative to light, otherwise things would disappear and reappear in front of our eyes all the time from various "fake" light, natural sun light and reflection of objects???

can any one clear this up lol

hows everyone this fine sunday?
