GOOD GROW DOOD! im subscribed! and that girl that u commented on isnt the only girl i got,dood. but damn! nice system!
thanks a lot ;d
things are just starting to get interesting actually. got pictures yesterday, when it hit the 2 weeks in flowering mark.


UPDATE

Things are going pretty well.
The wilt lemon skunk was pulled out and tossed.(another topic on that. in a nut shell - it died without any obvious reason after watering. flushing didn't help. really don't know what the deal was) I just realized my bigger coco plant is a clone of her and I put another very small clone of her in flowering just for the heck of it.
The picture were taken yesterday, the 2 weeks to flowering mark.
bud sites are all over and the white rhino is already starting to build up some resin. I really love its growing pattern - one main cola and a lot of small branches on the top. seems like it would be a very massive single cola.
As I took out the lemon skunk from the middle I tied the blue mystic, the branchiest and biggest plant, down to the base of the plant on the opposite side - white rhino. I put some shoots from other plants below thoes i tied to form a kind of screen.
my hempy bucket (cheese) and 2 small coco plants (GWS and tiny lemon skunk) and below the canopy. there's a bit of light there and I hope that they will poke their buds out and strech just as the streching period stops.
I plan on pollinating thoes with some old pollen from a Blue Mystic male I grew. I really doubt the pollen in viable. i'll try it when I'll see some budding. if it wouldn't seem to work I'll light-poison one of them and create feminized seeds with the others.
Watered the coco plants, after 3 days without watering and they all seemed fine but like they wouldn't mind more feeding. next feeding is in 4 days - saturday, as that when I need to attend my big plants.
The lemon skunk tiny clone I put to flowering just rooted yesterday and that gives me a 9\9 success from my last batch ;D

since I build my veg. closet I didn't had space for a revolving fan as I always had. I really really missed it.
Today I put a 16" (i think) revolving fan laying flat (without revolving and without its pole) below the canopy. I re-arranged the training I did yesterday as I didn't thought the middle part was covered enough. now the edges aren't filled enough. I guess that now that the side branch see a light poking they would strech to it.
I hope i'll get a proper fan in a few days as this one sits in a place where I usually pour water and it wouldn't like to be watered as well.

But I'm glad I did it.

mini update;
day 17 of flowering (2 1\2 weeks) and some major budding takes place.
Gave today and yesterday 5ml of hesi coco to my coco plants who are flowering, around 1.5 liters total. gave 5ml of GHE one part total gro to my vegging clones, pretty much whenever I go in the room they wouldn't mind watering.
Gave 2ml of BioBizz BioGrow to my mother plants and 2.5ml of BioGrow, 3ml of BioBloom, 2ml of Alg-A-Mic and 2ml of BioHeaven to my main soil flowering plants. the 25l pots got 2liters each adn the 9l pot got 1liter.

It really is shocking for me that the White Rhino is starting to put on resin and putting more and more every day. It already got what I was geting at week 6-7 on my Blue Mystic.

Everyday there's a completely new sight. The Blue Mystic and the Great White Shark are streching around 2 inches a day while the White Rhino and the Cheese stays relevently compact.

The small plants - the hempy cheese, the 0.3l White Rhino and the new coco Lemon Skunk that was put to flowering right after rooting doesn't get much light and aren't looking all that good. I don't mind them too much.
Decided not to go hempy again - it doesn't work for me. once it hit the reservoir its pretty much like coco plants, but it needs the same watering as a coco plant with a catch tray needs, so its the same maintainance, it doesn't really have any advantage over coco as far as I figured that would justify the delayed growth until it reaches the rez.


i only posting a bud pic. of the White Rhino. Can't take normal photos of the whole grow as I can't find a spot to capture even 3\4 of it. But the budding is more interesting anyway.

Had 2 White Rhino cuts in my veg. closet and since the WR is by far my favorite (although its a bit too short for me :S) I took 7 clones out of it.
I got the mothers cut and de-potted to drinking plastic cups. (I need space. I will be doing that with all of my mother soon).

Since the light came off (comes off early in the morning, usually when I sleep) when I was in the room, I took everything out and put the mother tempurarly in my PC grow case which haven't been used recently.

Yesterday was week 3 of flowering.
I've tied back the main GWS cola so it wouldn't burn from the lights and more buds will get light.
Resin starts to build up on my plants pretty nicely.
The White Rhino is still the frostiest with a skunky smell and pretty plane weed smell.
The cheese is getting some resin and smells like an avarage skunk.
Great White Shark smells badly like citrus and some hard candy smell. I really like it :D
Blue mystic doesn't smell much yet, just like grass.
The coco\perlite lemon skunk smells like lemon juice concentrate.

i have de-potted all my vegging plants to clear plastic drinking cups to keep growth at bay and clear some space.
got 13 clips waiting to root.

And I got one good picture of the WR main cola :D

Update:
Day 25 of flowering. 3 and a half weeks.

I got some nute issues so I got back to the charts with the soil plants.

the hempy bucket plants and another small plant that was with him died when I flipped the plate they were on.
2 small plants left. If they survive week 4 they will be pollinated with Blue Mystic pollen I've been keeping for a while now.

I got a bottle of TopMax. I never liked it as I never seen a change. But if maybe it will do its work, it worth the money.
Got some atami ATA PK 14/13 for my coco\perlite plants. They got to the phase they should need some.

Gave my coco's 1\2 liter each with 5ml of Hesu coco + 0.25ml PK per liter.
My soil plants got 1ml biogrow, 1ml alg-a-mic, 2ml biobloom and 1ml of TopMax per liter.
each big plant got 3.5 liters. the small soil plant got 1 liter.

Gave the mother 1ml\L of biogrow.
Gave the vegging plants 5ml\L of total grow.
No roots on my clippings yet.

Small plants got flooded with water containing 5ml\L of Hesi Coco. Whatever they can suck they will, whatever they can't will evaporate as I am over-venting anyway.


I lifted the White Rhino and Cheese as they were lower than the others and re-did my training creating a pretty nice colloseum.
Shaved some undergrowth as well.

Everything is looking good to me :D

I have removed the added reflector from the cool tube - it is not needed anymore.


I'd love any input.

Have a great week everyone :D

Day 27. Nothing much changed.
Gave the coco plants 1\2 liter each of 5ml\L Hesi coco and 0.25ml\L of ATA PK 13/14.

Things are getting frosty, and I like what I see.
The soil blue mystic is FAR behind, in every manner.
The White Rhino is the frostiest.
The GreatWhiteShark is filling nicely, frosting up pretty nicely and have a orange candy smell which is really nice :D

Somewhy I can't upload the picture :S saying upload failed. odd.

Update - 4 weeks of 12\12.

Watered some of the plants today.
Soil BM got 1ml of Alg-a-mic in a liter of water.
Ceese got the same deal.
Both show some P overdose, so they got this 1l each so they could get the same solution as the others, just 1l less.

Coco Lemon Skunk got a liter of water with 5ml Hesi coco and .5 PK.
Coco BM got a liter of water with 5ml Hesi Coco and .25 PK.

The small plants got watered as well.

I yet again re-arranged my plants.
Got the light much closer, now around 5-8" from most of the buds.
Its getting colder in here so I can allow it.
Thats as low as I can get it.

Nothing major as for development - some more hairs, some more resin. lower buds are starting to look better as well.

Took some cuttings today too :D
I'm getting ready for my next run. not sure if it will be a colloseum or a vert grow.
Really depends on my yield.
It would be much easier to do a colloseum, but it should yield better using a vert. We will see about it.


Got some pictures too :D

I was lurking around many journals on many forums and the main key to getting serious yields was the distance from the light.
So I've pulled my sleeves up and got to tying. Pulled as many colas as possible around 5" from the light.
Weather have cooled down enough to allow me to do so without any risk of burning.
I figured that I rather go too close, get minor burn and then crank the fan at the bottom to the max (curently on 2\3 power) than go too far and compremise on yield.
Got a 45W Warm White (2700K) CFL hanging at the bottom of the plants, over the fan to light up on the lower buds. It won't make them big enough to pass the popcorn buds rank, but it should help the bottom leaves that are dying and the buds to finish closer to the time the upper buds finish.
Plus, I had everything lying around, so what the heck.

Very nice man, I had the same issue w/ my canopy not being level. I saw a difference very quickly in growth after getting everything tied down and level.

I usually even out my canopy or creating a colloseum kind of canopy, but I figured that i canget all that canopy closer, much closer, to the light and still don't get any burns. I hope the extra light will show up in extra yield ;D

I usually consider any buds lower than 70cm from the light unusfull and usually remove it.

Day 33 of flowering.

Got 11 out of 13 cuttings to root. repotted my previous clones into 80cc~ pots made from water bottles and the rooted cuttings in plastic cups with drainage holes.
I got 15 more cuttings waiting to pop roots.

Flowering goes great.
I started watering the big plants with only 1L of water, only when they need it. which isn't much.
The coco\perlite plants can eat up over 1L a day, but stay fine without watering for 5 days.
I water them when I get to the room, which is from daily to once every 4 days.

Budding continues, things are swelling a bit already and few hairs are going brown.
Trichs are becoming mushroom shaped and some are already milky on some plants. I should get new batteries for my microscope so I can look further.

My new favorite is the Lemon Skunk. Its not a crazy resin-producer, the buds aren't huge and its not THAT healthy, but heck does it smell like sweet lemons!
I really don't like the way the soil Blue mystic is growing - its slow, lacking resin, lacking size, lacking smell, too tall to my likings and I don't find any reason to keep it.
Its a fun high, from previous grows, but I doubt it will be better than the others high-wise.
Next run is probably my last with that strain. (got a clone potted already so what the heck)

I have some troubles again with tobacco flies, but with the extra venting they aren't getting too many. I don't want to spray the pesterside at this stage.
I would spray the room very well after harvest.

Haven't ran thoes specific individuals yet, so I really don't know.
I'd guess around 3 weeks for the coco lemonskunk, 4 weeks for the rest and 5 weeks for the soil Blue Mystic, and maybe for the cheese as well.

As my main goal is high yield I rather harvest when 30-40% of the trichomes turn amber and around 3% already turn black.


I would probably harvest the ripe parts of each plant first and keep doing that each week.


I need to fix in my next batch so I need to somehow time everything up, but when we will get to the bridge we will find a way to cross it :D


I just enjoy the ride meanwhile ;D
