Thundercat's Groooooooow

NSW I think thas what I'm gonna do, I hope they have it at lowes. I'm goin before work tomorrow, and then I'll be able to get my seedlings transplanted. I decided I'm gonna stick with soil this grow, then maybe bridge the gap to hydro next round. I just don't have the money to invest to do hydro right at the moment.

So I wieghed the shrooms tonight, I'd say they are already about 80% dry. I had 56g not counting a HUGE pile of aborts, and little guys under an inch. So yes another nice shroom harvest for sure. All together I believe I've harvested about 3 oz since I started this project.

And 420, I can't wait till I finally get some green again. Its gonna be a long couple months, lol. I'm really hoping I can get atleast 3 harvests by october! My scrog plants will take longer to veg, but I plan on flowering several batchs of clones as soon as they root.

Well everything is going well. I got some potting soil. Its called black magic, sounds like it should be decent stuff, supposed to be all organic. I'm gonna transplant either tomorrow or Wednesday. The little guys are looking really good. The PP all look nice. One of them is supper short, but its already getting its second set of leaves. The other one that was the first to sprout is looking great its second leaves are out, and its staying nice and short as well. The power skunks stretched alittle yesterday, so I lowered the light just a bit, and they seemed ok today. I decided to start training them young and carefully bent the stems over without breaking them. I figured it would help the plants stay shorter. The largest PP I even used a little straw to keep it bent over on its side. I think by tonight hopefully it will be facing up wards agian.

you gonna do any supercropping? from what ive learned its a great way to maximize. i really wish i had done that to mine instead of tying down the ones i did...if your not familiar with it...find genfranco in the last pages of my thread...amazing shit!....

Ya I plan on super cropping, just not gonna do it this early. I thoght that a nice gentle bend wouldn't hurt though. Then once they are a bit bigger I will likely super crop them. I might try several methods of training on the ones that I scrog. I'm also planning on fiming some I think. I wanna play with a few ideas.

I recently fimmed one of my plants. The top looks crazy, maybe 4-6 more shoots instead of the 1.

Yep, thats what I want for my scrog plants, I'm planning on fiming it, and then fimming each new top. This should give me tons of bud sites, and a nice full screen.

Ok so I just decided to make an ornamental. I am going to grow three of my power skunk plants together in a nice large ornamental pot in the end. I will grow them very close together in and angle the bottom of the peat plug so that hopefully the roots spread out away from each other into the pot. I think that it should work well. once the stems get a couple inchs tall I will start to braid them together. I will braid them about 18 inchs up, and then once they are ready I will super crop them and place a ring made from chiken wire on top of the braided stems. I will then train the plant to grow up around the ring towards the top. Once it reachs the top I will start to bud the plant and I think with the streach I might be able to weave it back down to the bottom. Then once it stops stretching and starts to bud all the bud sites will grow out of the ring and up towards the light. I think that it will be quite beautiful. I might even make it a 420 preasent for a friend to say thanks!

So just a note that last post took me about 45 minutes to right. i ate about 5-6 grams of the ereals at 8 oclock!

Rub it in why don't you.....

Lol, ya I've been having a blast these last couple weeks! I think the KS have been my favorite so far. This first batch of ereals has been the highest yeild yet, and I can't wait to see what is still to come!!! I'm also really looking forward to the SA's I've heard they might get big!! That would be cool. Oh ya, the KS have really began to recover as well. There are a bunch of them comeing back up. I'm really loving this strain. This is going to be the third flush, and so far no contams. I gotta be honest, I'm really not that carefull with sterility either. The only thing that has been frustrating me is the issue with the grain getting cookd.honestly I think if if happens agian I might go ahead and see if it will colonize. Also so far the myc transfer is looking great, its colonizing well.

sounds fun thunder, i just took my first harvest, i will be doing the shrooms in a couple months!!

Wow man it's Fuckin awesome seeing each other come this far along since mid last year lol. I can't believe that I'd hasn't even been a year yet, n the progression that a handful of us have made is seriously leaps and bounds from where I thought we'd all be right now. It's
Just a damn good thing to see man


N can't wait to see how that ornamental goes, sounds pretty damn cool man. Might have to box that bitch up n bring it out to the ledges on 420 man. Just might be up there my damn self man. I'll be the fucker with a backpack fulla sour p screamin my Fuckin head off all night long lol

--mad props as always man. Good to see the grow
Come along.I'm tryin to get a crop to be completely done for 420 but I'm not sure if I have enough time. Maybe if I start one up tomorrow I can have an lb ready to rock by then... What do u think? U think I got enough time??

I'm sure you've got time man, its not quite february yet, just veg for like 2 weeks then flower them. You'll have them done, and cured by 420.

sup man, i just pulled the one down next to the purp .. that got seeded some how ... ill be takin the purp down on friday or sat

Very sweet man, i'll stop over to check out the results. Did you post any picks of them?

So I tryed to get to the hydro shop yesterday, but got there like 20 after they closed. So I think I'm just gonna order my nutes, and my panda film online, and be done with it. But heres the question, how long do you think the liters of grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom will last? Should I just spring for the gallons and have plenty for awhile? I don't know how much of them you actually go through during a grow.

You will want to buy the gallon of big bloom. You could deal with the liter for the grow big and tiger bloom though.

So I've got a nute question for you all. I've been thinking about running the fox farm line, like I had said, but then I stubled across this http://www.htgsupply.com/viewnutrient.asp?nutrientID=23699160 what do you think of the technaflora nutes? I don't know what size bottle those are, I'm gonna call HTG later, but the price sure seems right. I used the sugerdaddy on my last grow, seemed to work ok, I was pretty happy with the plants, and that was just with shultzs african violet nute and the sugerdaddy. I was thinking about getting the gallons of all of the fox farm stuff cus they have the 3 pack, and you save alittle money. Opinions???

yea man i just put up some NICE bud pics
on my 3 pack of nutes .. i've prolly got about 3/4 left on each bottle and i started up in oct... i would get the gallon of the big bloom and just the liters of the other 2 next time i order some

No idea, I use Bio-Bizz nutes and supplement with different MG fert's depending on the stage of growth they're in.....

Also what do you guys think of this ph/ec/tds meter. Its alittle more expensive then I wanted, but it seems like it would be a good one. http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=53779 ?
