Hey guys, Anyone see STAR WARS?! fucking great movie!

So here's the update, day 19. my other white cookies rusted a bit, oh well, I got the ph under control with this watering. used up 4 gallons of 6.4 water so I know they are good to go now. tops are pushing up pretty well

Hey Purps,
I looked but could not get any info on your grow, get an error message on your link.
What medium, nutes, water cycles etc.
Good luck on your grow. They look mighty indica to me, could be just the pics.

So my plant that's a week older than my others is starting to tell me she's hungry. so they are all getting a half dose of cal-mag and a half dose of fish and seaweed for their first feeding.

right now my soil holds water pretty well so its every 4 days they get water that/s been left out for a few days, I will be brewing ACT guano and then mixing in fish and seaweed with terpinator when the time comes. they still have another month to veg, so I'll be doing cal mag every other week


Soil= roots 707 + perlite + 1-5 gal smart pots
Nutes = Age old fish and seaweed (3-2-2)
Botanicare Cal- Mag (2-0-0)
Roots buddha grow (2-.5-1.5)
Buried treasure phos Indonesian seabird guano (0-12-0)
Terpinator (0-0-4)
RX green solutions ROOT microbes and food (seaweed, yucca, the works)

and yes they are looking very Indica, which cool by me, I'd rater have stalky cookies than WW phenos

had to cut down my plants today at day 62/63. I have bud rot in one but it looks like the rest are okay. They could have done with another 3-4 days but no worries. All grown under LED (cob cxb3070) Both plant grew very dense buds.

HSO Blue Dream. This would make a great plant to mainline if it is well spaced out. It is fast growing and didn't complain too much to pruning. The colas on mine were to close together so it didn't fatten up as it could of. This had one that got bud rot.


HSO Trainwreck. This is a great little plant. Small leaves on my plant which allowed it to be closer together. It is a bit more branchy than the BD but still fattened up the best. Still if better spread out it would have been better.

Scissor hash. This is some of the nicest hash from my scissors I've had. I have a big bag on sugar leaves that I am going to make into iso hash.

Great Job Tic, excited about the weight. The look good, how about the density?

update coming up. ladies are getting their first feed.

Purple Kush!

Purple Kush LST

Smells dank already

White Cookies finally happy again.

I broke a branch at the node knuckle lsting and I realized it was time to prune again anyways..
This method is so brutal. lol I feel almost bad.. I'll post more when they recuperate.

 

[tick tack toe]

@gr865 The buds are very dense. They are rock soild. For the 220watts that I'm pulling from the wall, these cobs do as good as my 400w hps or better. So I save a lot on power. I'm not going back to HPS.


@Purpsmagurps Just to let you know you aren't doing mainlining. You're doing a 4 way split. You need to have everything coming off the main shoots. I've tried the 4 ways and even though you can keep the canopy even the colas are not even. I did a 4 way and a mainlined plant with the same number of colas at the same time (same strain). The mainlined plant beat it hands down.

Here are my plants at day 21 (chopping down to the 3rd node). I have now trainned them but no pictures (day 24)





Here you can see the rot and how dense they are on cobs.

 

[Purpsmagurps]

there, I did most of it, waiting to clone the last 2 bottoms tomorrow. I have 2 5x5 pots and a solo cup with cuttings in microbe solution/soil. covered in gallon freezer bags. not expecting any of them to take, but we'll see.

This one is..... unique... we'll see how she wants to grow now. lol

 

[gr865]

Purpsmagurps,
Can you take some photos with the LED off, under natural light. Hard to view.
Thanks bud.

[Purpsmagurps]

I'll do it @ 4pm, when my lights turn off.

Looking at your pics you can still manifold/mainline. Your reward will be a bigger harvest. Looks like you broke one of the two branches that is not in the manifold. Go back to Nugs tutorial and compare pics. You plants look good and healthy so removing the extra two stems from each plant should not hurt.
This is the first cut to the forth node, this was a more symmetrical branch set, note that I removed the stems below this but I did leave the fan leaves. From here afthirdter growth I will prune the two branches to start the four cola, but I will remove the growth below the cut except the fan leaves. I bet this is clear as mud, my buddy from NM went to CO and bought all kinds of cannabis, he sent me a eight each of OGK and Chocolope. So I am testing them this morning. As yes the OGK is wonderful, the Choc will wait till after lunch.

So after doing some reading i think my nephews plant has a potassium deficiency...if you look at the plant in the front. Any suggestions?? Am i correct with my diagnosis??

 

[Purpsmagurps]

hey guys, the ladies have responded to the topping and are starting to push up.

This is Chewie, he sleeps like that.
I've got some clones going now too.
White cookies ( I think its a WW heavy pheno)

Damn, I have had hell posting to my journal tonight, either I am too stoned or RIU is fucking with me. I lost my post two times and only got one of them back. I have not check it since I just came on but will when I finish.
Anyway, I posted Day 42 of 12/12 today.

I'm glad to hear that (not that you had to face issues) because i thought RIU was selectively deleting posts. Plus purps update showed as a new alert for over a day and a half even though i checked it about 5 times so that it would go away.

I took a good 20 minutes writing a well thought out post that went opposite of what an admin said so i just thought he didn't like it. now i'm pissed off about the same because that's a lot of thinking and typing.

If space/height was not an issue would you still mainline? I want to grow huge plants with 8 colas but I have 8' ceilings. I plan on mainlining two Nirvana Bubblelicious plants from seed in soil since it is a indica dominant plant. And next to it I am going to grow two Nirvana Blackberry plants that won't be mainlined.

And what is the longest you have vegged a mainlined plant? I am thinking about vegging for 8-9 weeks so that my Blackberrys can get tall and hopefully I can have a tall 8 headed bubblelicious plants too

Yes, I would still mainline and I have 6' to play with, I am limited by sqft space.
I grow in Hempy's, so right after I make the cut to 8 cola I veg for 2 to three weeks after that point. I just vegged the White Rhino and Exodus Cheese for 8 weeks, but could have done it in seven +/- but had trips in between so had to wait to go 12/12.
Remember that you will need to cut the underbrush so you could end up with long buds but you will also have long space between soil level and foliage

Good luck on you grow.
