Thundercat's Groooooooow

lookn good man, glad to see you got your seeds on time

Ya they were right on schedule, 8 days. I dig the Tshirt too, do you know if they always send the same shirt?

nah i got a differnt one .. that was black .. way too small for me tho

I havn't tried it on yet, its a large, but it might be to small.

I got the same t-shirt twice...but its all good..I liked the design and logo.

Hey Kush great to see you man. Ya I dig the T-shirt thats definitely how I'm gonna go in the future too.

So I cleaned off the KS tray today, and I'm gonna try to get a 4th flush from it!! I also am trying to deal with what looks like the beginning of some mold on the Ereal tray. I've been removing the growth and using peroxide on it. I hope the second flush starts to pick up, so far theres only a few on it. Honestly if the mold continues I doubt there wil even be a chance for a third flush. Also I checked on all my jars in the incubator yesterday. The last 2 SA jars were dones colonizing, but one of them had a bit of mold starting so I tossed it. All 4 of the KS jars that I myc transfered were colonizing well, but I noticed yeesterday that 2 of them were completely full of black fuzzy "mold"? I'm not really sure what it was, but the jars were colonized solid with it. So I tossed them. I still have 2 KS colonizing, and they look good, and a half a jar of KS in the fridge to try to get some more to colonize to use for that tray. I'm gonna cook up some jars on sunday, and myc transfer the rest of the KS, and maybe do a myc transfer on the burmas, and give them another whirl.

Oh and all my plants are looking nice, I think the power skunks will be ok, the new growth is a bit darker then the first set that looked so bright green. Also my biggest purple power is getting its third set of leaves already, and is about 3 inchs tall. I'm gonna fim it once it has 4 sets of leaves.

Where did you get your spores? Did you order them from a site or just know someone?.....

I just knew someone, but as long as your not in Cali, Georgia, or I think Illinois you can order them online. I got my empty syringes from sporevisions.com, and I know that the spores I got originally came from syringes from sporevisions.com, and spores101.com.

I think I am going to order a couple presteralized 3.5 or 4 lb rye spawn bags. I've been getting frustrated with the way my jars have been getting fucked up, and I thought that for like 15 bucks a bag, it might be worth the time, and hassle of PCing steralizing the jars. I'm gonna do some more jars until then, and maybe I can figure out what my problem is, but I'm sure that a 3.5 lb bag of myc mixed with verm, and cased will produce some great results! I think it should fill up my trays pretty well. I might also play around with some compost or manure, and see what kind of results I get. I've been really happy with the results from the WBS, at least for the most part. But this problem PCing shit is making it very annoying. I wieghed that last flush from the KS, and I got another oz from it. Thats 3 flushs, one was 35g, second was I think about 27, this was 29.5, so I was thrilled. The burmas I only got 19g from, and the first ereal flush was 44g. So far its been a very productive first month of the year!!

FOr the record I fucking love the KS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear things are goin well! Keep up the good work bud!

Thanks man, you've been a big help since the beginning.

What kind of nutes do you use Natmoon?

Smokedatkush, I had looked at that one, it seemed like a nice meter, but the other one I posted first seemed like it would be nice to have the probes on the cords, and it was only like 5 bucks more.

Well i had been using a little known English brand from a small company but to be honest i am going to go back to using the old tomato food and mollasess.
Personally as i am in soil its all i really need i think.

Bigger buds are produced by oxygenating the soil imo and just about any old fert will do for weed imo and tomatoes have such similar needs to cannabis.
In all reality a bottle of Tomorite with seaweed extract is great and because its mass produced only costs about 2 quid(4 dollars).

Reead the label to know whats in your plant food and then compare it with the more expensive shit.
I.E. Nurofen headache pills 4 quid a box,sainsburys ibruprofen 36 pence a box.
Ingredients in both is 200mg of ibruprofen,nothing more nothing less except one box costs a whole lot more

It may well be true that you get better results with expensive nutes but so far i havent really seen any of these claims to be true.
Having said that if your in hydro or dwc etc... you will need those tailored products and tomorite and mollasess will be no good.

A great reason to buy the more expensive products is all of the support and feeding schedules that you get with them.
Best of luck anyway dude,great mushy pics

Gorgeous pics man!! I'm still thinking about putting the air sponge at the bottom of my grow bag for my scrog plants, I just couldn't find any baskets. I figured it should still work by adding air. I added a good amount to perlite to my soil so it should stay nice and airy. But seriously your buds look great!!! I'm getting ready to harvest to second flush from the ereals. It looks like it should be decent.

Yeah man,trust me and add air.
Its virtually free forever once you've bought the pump(they cost so little to run a small one) and i guarantee that adding oxygen to any medium will increase your buds quality and size.
The actual basket idea is for excellent drainage and all around oxygenation and the easy release of harmful gases that can get trapped in compacted soil in a normal pot,but giving your roots an artificial lung will certainly help them even without the "holy" baskets,lol
Best of luck with the mushys,i will be watching.

I'm glad, and thanks for all the advice. Getting the pump isn't a big deal, I thnk this is gonna be a sweet grow. At least I hope so. My WW broke ground today, and my mango, and afghan are both right behind it, I can see the soil rising up on them. I'm stoked!!

Just remember when you top or fim. it slows plant growth down. I only top once or twice. did you see my avatar pic TC thats a 6 month old mother that I LSTed the shitout of, pulled over a qp from her and prolly over 100 clones! Hey TC tht afghan you have is itAfghan goo? if so what bank did you get it at? I NEED IT Lol.

Thundercat said:

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.

Its legands collection afghan Kush from attitude. I'm only planning on fiming most of them once, but 4 of them I am going to turn into a scrog, and I'll prolly fim each of those a second time. I'm actually thinking I might fim the biggest purple power tonight. I'm gonna see how it looks, but its beginning its 5th node, and is looking really healthy, its gonna be bushy as hell. There are side shoots starting at both the first and second node already on both sides of them. The power skunks also had a nice growth spurt, and are starting to come around too.

Well guys yesterday was exciting! I got all my supplies from HTG, which was sweet, now I can finish my tent, and it will be ready. Also my WW, Mango, and Afghan have all sprouted, and are lookin good. They are going to get transplanted thursday, because they already have roots coming out the bottom. All the power skunks are making a very nice turn around, you will be able to see in the pictures the differance in the color of the new growth and the older. The purple powers are doing great, the bigger one is working on its 5th node, and has side shouts at each of the other nodes already.

I harvested some huge Ereals today, wait till you see these pics! I still have more on the tray to pick. I've controled the mold pretty well I think, I've been using some peroxide, and a little bleach water solution. Seems to be working well. I doubt that any mushrooms will grow any where I sprayed, but atleast i'll be able to finish these flushs is it doesn't spread more.

Haha, I forgot to post the pictures, here they are.






















Hope you guys are enjoying as mush as I am!! TC

Can someone please hit me on the head with a 2x4?????????

How in the world did I miss this...?????

OK.. I gotta go catch up.... I'll be back... ...
