SPERM!

And a little friend I found hanging out by all the ball sacs....

Let's do a little last week this week...

December 23...



Today....

And an update of the bloom room...

December 23...




Today...





I did move them around, so don't think that they grew 4 feet in a couple weeks, everything is flipped, the plants that were furthest away are now up close... it worked out better that way, why... I don't know.

The super skunks...

Here's those larger plants that have been completely stalked to the growing tops...

Some other random shot of the room...






The Blueberries...

Sweet! You can grow you some pot, boy I tell you what!

Sorry if this was mentioned before, but why do you grow them so tall with a long stem with just growth on top? Is this a technique? Lollypopping?

Yeah, I guess, I call it SOG... I just trim out all the crap on the bottom that will end up being larfy. I try to create an even canopy...

Usually I bloom them smaller, like the superskunks...

Beautiful man----looks very healthy in there.

texas tea,lol. theres omly one word to describe yours, PROFESSIONAL than any thing else like iseen, espec. super cropping so many,,, i'm watchin.

I have to remind myself those are 5 gallon buckets, not 6"pots. You get BIG leaves on short, dense plants. How you do that?

Holy shit man, that's impressive

My hat goes off to you!

looks like you had two rooms, or was I mistaken.

this wat encourage me to do 2pacs wite russian in 5 gal. buckets i jus started,want the most for my grow. hey MHM i jus measured the 3 ft by ft closet and i can fit 9 3.5 gal. buckets in there,lol. doing two pacs of big buddah blue cheese seeds in there.Ever growed it before?thanx bro.

Nope never grown big buddah, or blue cheese... I've grown reclining buddah, it's similar to Hash Plant... And Cheese is just a special phenotype of a skunk...

I just give them what they want...

I measured some of the fans, the biggest ones, on all the different strains have a center blade over 12" long, the blueberry is 12" long and 4" wide... I don't think it's gonna let any light through.


It probably has a lot to do with my trimming grooming techniques, I remove anything that will be underbrush, and allow what I want to grow to grow...

Nutrients, light, temperature... Everthing's in check.

Oh, BTW, I'm not supplementing co2, I can imagine how much bigger they'd be if I were, but for my room, I'd go through about a 20# tank every 5 days. And a generator isn't gonna happen in there... I'm not around enough to feel safe about not causing a fire...



Thanks for all the Kudos everyone... As you can see flower sets are forming, only a week more to see some early buds...

Yeah, the shots with the shoplights are of my veg/mother cabinet... They are overgrowing it pretty fast, my scissors are really busy in there.

My feeding last night consisted of the following...

Per 25 gallon resevoir...

60 mL- (4tbls) CarboLoad
25 mL- (5teas) Barricade
200mL- (13tbls)Sweetleaf
60 mL- (4tbls) Honey Bee ES
90 mL- (6tbls) Fulvic
60 mL- (4tbls) Humic
300mL- (20tbls)BigBloom

This brought me up to 500 ppm... Then...

I added Tiger Bloom to raise the ppm to 700...



After that I added 5 tablespoons of Open Sesame, which was the amount it took to raise my ppm to 900

I adjusted the pH to 6.2 and watered approx 1/2 gallon per plant... I water with a pump and hose in my trashcan resevoir, not a watering can

To further describe my watering... I made a prett simple pump to hose system.

-From Home Depot-

-5/8" black tubing 3x10 foot lengths

-one 5/8" tee fitting

-three 5/8" barb connectors

-ring clamps


From Petsmart

-one dog wash hose with a quick faucet connection on one end, and a shower head on the other.



--- The dog was thing is also made of 5/8" tubing, you just want the rubber quick connect and the shower head.



You'll also need a heavy duty pump.




It works like this...




Pump output gets the quickconnect end, with the tee right after it.

This will allow the water two places to go, I'll explain later...

From one end of the tee attach the 5/8 black tubing, the full length using the barb connectors to get the full 30 feet, and on the far end the shower head.


Basically we just madt the doggie shower thing have a 30 foot tube instead of a 4 foot one so far... And attached a tee in the line.





So,



That tee...



When you want to stop the flow out of the shower head, you just pinch the line...

The open ended tee lets the water out from the pump, otherwise the quick connect would blow off the plug, and the pressure would build up in the line...


The tee guarentees no pressure buildup. That's all it's for.
