whats up guys just starting a little journal on a couple strains I have been looking for and finally got a hold of them ,right now im using my 2x5 closet and 2x50 watt t5s for my veg room when they get over into the 2 gal pots i will put in my 400 watt MH, Im using organic miracle grow soil and perilite 50/50 , I usually wouldnt use miracle grow because it burns your clones fast but its all i had at the time will be posting as i go , area not permanent will be getting or making tents once my outdoor is done and i but these into flower,I will keep 1 plant of each strain for mothers to start a perpetual grow , also i have 2 blue dreams that just rooted and 1 in the dome still rooting total of 3, that i got off my plants from my outdoor, heres some pics of the set up and equipment ill be using/happy growing

Just transplanted the plants into 5gal buckets today but only filled it with about 3.5 gal of soil had to stretch the FF soil (didnt have enough) I put 2.5 gal of FF and 1 gal of that miracle grow soil(didnt want too but had too) the roots looked shitty in that miracle grow , every time i use the FF i have Nice white bright roots , anyway I usually give them Phd water 6.4-6.8 with some vitamin B for transplant shock, but i left the Vit B at my outdoor spot , so I just Gave them a lil bit of grow big to drop the ph to 6.6 and put some molasses. UGH cant wait till my outdoor is over so i dont have to improvise lol, even so These plants will come out FIRE.

Looking good man. Do you remember the miracle grow organic choice ever burning your plants? How long did it take the plants in 2 gal pots of just MG organic to loose food and nutes? When i say that I mean when did they begin to loose color or begin to have problems?

I put my clones straight in MG, and they kept showing signs of nute burn for about 3-4 weeks, after I put the FF Oc t,here barely burning just a lil at the tips now, and my friend grows his mothers in 5 gal, and says he dont have to worry about Nutes for 2-3 months, I really wouldnt use it on clones that are 1-3 weeks old tho,but If you have to like i did then do it haha , and i had em in 1 gal pots , So in personal experience I say they still give out good amount of nutrients for a month I have some Mg in my soil right now and there still burning JUST a lil, So ill take my friends word for it, average 2 months.


I got scared cuz i thought my plants were in flower, wich is impossible cuz i had em under 24 then just switched to 18/6, thought that cuz there were tri's all over my new 5 bladed leaves, but i guess some plants just do that even in veg nothing crazy but there were shimmering and very noticeable, Gods Gift and Grape ape are starting to take off now,nice royal purple on there stems and a lil tint on leaves too(Not a defficiancy problem)just strain Genes:) Ive seen the mothers in flower and looks like jewelry lol ,all of em have there 5 bladed leaves, and the blue dreams are still shooting out 3 bladed leaves, will post pics tomorrow or couple days.(lost my Iphone some where in the house)(usb)

Update, Plants starting too look nice and green how they should be ,grape apes are very lush ,bushy stature and very slow vegging plant like Urkle , gods gift is a lanky plant and with skinnier leaves than the ape, also a slow vegging plant but slightly faster, been LST them Got at least 8 tops on GG and 5 on ape going to keep doing that for another 2 weeks for more tops, and blue dream are slowly coming along, there starting to take off now will probable top em next week, Still got till the 6th(outdoor will be done) before i put em into flower. I was going to keep 1 of each strain but to get a bigger yield im going to flower all of them and just take clones when i lollipop em, and most likely I should get at least 2 clones to survive of each plant, while those are rooting i will be getting sanoma coma and the black from my friend next month to be vegging while these go into flower, i will flower these in the closet then move them into the tent as soon as i get it,then use the closet for veg chamber.

Ok lets get this show started i got P Ak47(2) ,sonoma Coma(1),and Purple Candy(5) total of 8 goin into flower,clones vegged for 3 weeks in party cups then transplanted them into 1 gal pots ,50 ocean forest n 50 roots organic, i took a total of 12 clones (lets see how it goes) off the 1s goin 12/12 ,and my remainder(12) will veg in 1 gal for another 2 weeks ,before they are put into the tent for flower ,overall i want to have 12 plants harvested every 2 weeks.4 plants per sqf , ill be testing some with a lil longer veg ,bigger pots etc,to see what fits best for me, im running it like i am cuz i have the space,nutrients ,materials etc to do so and its the fastest simplest way to get a good amount of meds in short time.
