Its Good To Be Back! My Second Grow.

Darth Budder said:

It does feel a bit like wet sand for sure. I was basing this grow on a SOG i saw run with 50/50, but he grows in coco now. I am hoping it doesnt hold too much water, but what i like about it is that it will wic up water from the res if the top is getting too dry.

Did you notice a different in the plants when you swapped?

The problem I noticed was the verm rarely let the substrate dry out. IMO the upper root zone needs to dry out fairly well, allowing plenty of oxygen to reach the root system. If the substrate remains too wet it can stagnate and slow growth and development. The rez will allow more than enough water to remain for the taproots to drink and still allow the upper zone to dry out when using 100% perlite.

Ill keep an eye out for sure then, thanks stone!

Quick update with shitty pics

My crazy lst plant, 4-5 weeks into flower:


Last mutant clone standing that refuses to finish, 9 weeks flower


And here is my new thread for the hemp perpetual startup/breeding experiment

I love your LST job on that one, looks crazy

Thanks HB, its my first LST. I tried to circle it around the pot all the way before throwing it to flower. I got half way there, but that is all I needed. The plant is a clone of my sativa 1 from my last grow which i took in flower. It revegged and went NUTTY branchy on me and filled the pot.

Hah.. My Jedi grow was like that, was a pain in the ass to trim up for harvest but it was a great yield. I think I also got about half way around the pot before I didn't have any more room.

Okay those pics did not do my plant any justice, here are a few more i shot after lights out:

Hell yeah DB, your canopy looks legit, was 4-5 weeks ago the light chage or when you started getting flowers?

5 weeks light change, 4 since flowers

I got to say I am pretty happy with this plant. The original hermied late in flower under stress so I am really nervous and watching it like a hawk. My girl is so impressed with it she wants me start training another one

Sorry if I missed it, was the hermie from one of the double gum or the bag seed?

Bagseed for sure. Heavy sativa leaning plant, really stretchy. Also should note this is not my JB bagseed, but some other stuff.

Quick update, plant looks great, starting to put on a little weight on the buds. I raised the lights a little,did some LST and a little pruning to even out the canopy and let some air into the center. So far so good finnaly starting to see some resin as well. The plant has a particular smell, i cant place it i am wondering if this is what people smell when they call a plant Diesel.

DB

6 weeks flower on the lst clone.

Nice even canopy DB. She is filling in great for 6 weeks. Fat!
