The Chileman does TGA, The Flav 600watt HPS

Txchilies · Mar 22, 2013

Going to start a new thread for my new grow. Going with The Flav, germed 5 on the 13th of March and placed all 5 in rockwool cubes on the 15th. They all cracked and had tails within 24 hours. Today they are a week old and roots curled on the bottom so into party cups to veg and really get established. I'll be growing them Hempy Method in straight PERLITE using GH Flora nutes lucas formula. Depending on the number of females will determine the number of 3.5 and 5 gallon buckets used. I'll also have 3 "Autoflowers" going to help offset the growing time of the Flav's, Auto Jack, Auto Critical Jack and Auto Somango. They should all be done by the time I go to flower with the Flav's.

Well I like to do my updates once aweek unless something spectacular happens, or in my case the inevitable.
The Flav's: They have been in the party cups since friday except for #4 it went in on wednesday.

My Auto's just started them on 1/4 strength nutes today.

Just placed an order for new bulbs, going to run Digilux 400 and 600 watters. Just don't think these cheap Ipowers are doing what they need to.

I think the entire selection was a good choice, but a few were truely selected for the strain, going to hold off till my christmas grow for that one (Ace of Spades).

My intent with each is to grow all 5, find the male/males seprate and grow out the females, clones as many as possible from each and seed one clone from each female. I have been searching and reading up on the various pheno's from each strain in hopes that by breeding back I can inhance the pheno's I want and just to have extra of the strain for future grows. May even cross a few.

Gonna watch ya on this one- since really interested in "The Flav"!

We are doing Ace of Spades right now--
give ya some hints: SHE'S A PIGGIE!!!! LOTS of light, LOTS of root space, LOTS of feed!
There are a couple pheno's.. we (unfortunately) got the cutting from the smaller xmas tree pheno (not great yields) BUT she's VERY crystally, sticky & smelly!!!!!

Have fun!!

Got pretty lucky today, was down in my favorite town and stopped into a used bookstore, picked this beauty up for $32.00. Not bad since it is not in print anymore.

So it's been 2 weeks since I germed them and a week in the party cups, looks like the roots may be hitting the res as growth has picked up, also started them on 1/4 strength nutes as they were turning yellow. Lost my 600 hps bulb this past week luckly I have a 400 so it was a quick change, should get my new Digilux 600 by wednesday.
