Laceygirls Grow

looking good lacey. cant wait to get over there to see for myself.

Things are looking good in there! That is one huge plant, lol.

Thanks Eight, and thanks Doe....

You know I don't think I've ever vegged a plant to this size before throwing her into flower... I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this one... It will be fun finding out though....

I've decided the only thing I am going to do to the Widow and the Rhino are tie them up if the buds get too heavy, otherwise I am just going to let them go.... Everything will be getting PK 13-14 at around week 4 and a half....

I want to see if the Widow does that weird head leaf thing again...

I've been sitting here thinking about how I can simplify my grows....I am going to reconfigure the pots and reservoir for my next grow, but in the next twelve months, I am planning on going to autopots... Much lazier than the current system I am using... And I've fallen in love with vermiculite and perlite... Hydroton is so bloody heavy...lol...It also sux to throw hydroton away... It requires heaps more rinsing than perlite, you know the more I think about it, this might be my last couple of grows in hydroton... I might just keep the system I have, cut down on the watering therefore less power use, and change my medium.... I'll mull that one over for a few days I think...

I don't want to try Coco again in my system, its heaps messy in a double pot system... Its really good for single pot systems...

Heaps of thinking to do over the coming weeks, what to do? what to do?

Hitting the sack everyone..

hey there lacey, you should think about rockwool as a medium. my side by side grow is showing good results for rockwool over hydroton.

Yeah always fun trying to decide what to do next - will it help or hurt? Should I or should I not? Still more signs of the addicted grower! hehe Night, Lacey, sleep well.

G'day all Laceygirl again...

I've had to rethink the black water hose in the aerocloner as it does not hold its shape as well as I was lead to believe, and now that I have a water heater in the reservoir, it makes the problem worse, so I've been back to bunnings for PVC pipes, elbows, t-junctions, end caps and PVC pipe glue... Gonna do it stinkbuds way to the very letter...Just waiting for my hubby to find the right drill bit... My clones are doing really well..., so are my baby seedlings...

My two year old decided to open my seedlings tent and take my new White Rhino seedling humidity crib for a walk and give it to me.. He'd completely turned the Rockwool cube upside down, I nearly threw a fit, until I turned it over and there it was, still snug in the cube, so he got a tap on the bottom and sent out of the shed....He shouldn't have been in there in the first place....That's my fault.....Its kinda cute he's trying to help...

The big tent is really starting to take off now... The middle plants are almost touching each other through the screen... So almost full coverage... Will need to add the extra screen soon... I also am completely out of Canna Flores A and B, so its back to the hydroshop tomorrow....Might check on ebay and grab a few other things too... Discount Hydro Rocks...

Will post pics when the camera finishes charging...

Laceygirl....

Looking forward to the update. Take some pics of the seedlings can you please Lacey?

G'day all Laceygirl again....

Just a general update today... Will show you what I've got going...

Here are my clones in the aerocloner... The second from the left is the Blue Cheese, the rest are the White Rhino x White Widow.... The little humidity cribs are there too...More on those later...



This is the revised edition of the mister for the aerocloner...



This one, didn't work....



Here are the new born seedlings...

This is the Rhino, the sacred Rhino...lol


Here is my big tent as of an hour ago...



The next two pictures are of the White Widow and the White Rhino x Widow...




Nothing new happening with the mothers, so I will leave it at that today...

Laceygirl....

Glad to hear your "baby" made it past a run-in with your baby, lol. I would have freaked, these damn plants are like my little green babies! (...what do you mean she wanted to play? Put your sister back in the tent right now!") hehe

Too funny, The little guy just wanted to get involved in the thing that takes moms attention away from him for minute. I think it is cute that he wanted to help. Scary all the same. No harm done though, the babies didn't get hurt and your son got away with a tap on the bum. lol
The tent looks lush. I can't get over how great that mother looks. Almost like an outdoor plant.

Thank you Raider... Hows things???

The mothers are pretty huge, its going to be interesting to see what happens to them... I've never flowered a plant that big before, I should do ok out of it... I am concerned for the Rhino cross, its got very skinny arms so I am going to stress her a little to "toughen up" and thicken her a little....

Here's hoping it all goes ok..

Laceygirl...

G'day all Laceygirl again...

Just an update pic... All is well, I am expecting my hydro order of nutes on Friday I am going to be in desperate need of it by then.. . Have another order I need to do in the next couple of weeks also... I need clonex solution (not gel) for my aerocloner, or at the least superthrive, so I am going to wait until I need a few things....



Things are moving along, I am going in to do some training after I hang more washing on the line...

More when there's more...

I haven't flowered an indoor plant that big either. It should be fun though. You might need to do a little thinning, but I can't wait to see that nice fat bush bloom. I do a lot of bending myself and have rarely have to use any supports other than my screen..I also keep the ladies dancing with the osc fans which helps them thicken up too.

Hi Raider, I too am a fan of the oscillating fan, I have two in the big tent, blowing in different directions... That really should help....

G'day all Laceygirl again...

Well the kids are on school holidays and I am trying to keep them busy, thank God they love to play together...

I've been doing a little bit of reading here and there on this site and I've had another holy shit moment...

And the funny thing is it was staring me right in the face the whole time...

I am wasting too much power on veging in the big tent... The big tent should be used for flowering only, so I need a veg tent.. That makes four tents....

Its basically the tent I used as my first mother tent... A friend of mine who was going to take it off my hands has had a change of heart... So I get to utilise it again...Its 160cm tall x 120 wide, I have posted pics of it in my journal back in the early days...

Gonna put the 400 watt metal halide in there and the old flood and drain system. I only need to veg four plants in there for three weeks and it will be on for eighteen hours a day... Too simple really and it was sitting in my shed the whole time.... Now, I just need to decide on a medium... Probably clayballs with top feeding again... I want to try and keep the mediums the same.(clayballs).. That way when I transfer from the veg to the flower tent, I just have to tip the pots gently into the larger ones and top up... Net pots are also another option...Heaps easy transferring option.... Got some thinking to do...

Yeah WTF happened there...???? It usually wont let you post something twice... Bit of a glitch...

Lacey

Wow I don't even know where to start... Aerocloner will do..

It wasn't dark enough for the clones to start to develop roots so I had to do something... The solution is the best tape in the world... Its reflective and sticks to anything, really cool stuff... Aluminium duct tape... Anything less is unsuitable...lol...



Looks pretty schmick I reckon...

Next is a pic of the two trees of my strain of white widow that a friend grew and dumped on my doorstep tonight, he literally cut them down in front of my hubby...lol.... So I have drying and bloody trimming to do again...






He didn't grow it out for as long as I did, but now I look again, its not too bad... Not bad for nothing...

I repotted the Super Lemon Haze and Blue Cheese into bigger pots.. They are both coming along really well...





They both look a little down as they've just been transplanted...

This is my soon to be new vegging tent, which is really just my first mother tent that I outgrew....



This is my current grow of Super Lemon Haze...



I will take more pics of the widow mother and the rhino mother the further they get into flower but they're really not doing to much at the moment... Little changes here and there...
