Thundercat's Groooooooow

wow TC those look real nice! its been quite awhile since the last pic update and they have for sure taken a good change for the best. these next weeks you better keep on top of these updates and let us see the changes!!!

good work bro..your plants look great, plenty of buddage going down
keep the pics rollin

Thanks guys. I've been trying to put pics up once a week, so you guys can see the differences. I really can't believe from the amount of bud on them, that the WW has been flowering for 1.5 weeks less then the sativas. I'm really looking forward to seeing how mch the fatten up. I need to get atleast 1/2 lb off them, and really I'm hoping for more then that. I don't know that might be asking alot.

Any thoughts on my nute situation? I don't know if since I'm not able to get the beastie bloom, if I should keep using the open sesame, or if I should just stick to the big bloom, and tiger bloom at higher levels.

TC i didnt use any of the solubles on my last grow and the results were still fairly nice. so im assuming if you have some of them but not all, you will still get a nice finish.

I switched to FF and have been using all 3 solubles...

You don't have one, I would just skip it...

I would not try to substitute...

But that's just me...

TC those pics definitely did not disappoint! Looking great bro. Check out my thread for harvest pics!

THanks for the advice gypsy, and little grower. I think thats what I'm gonna do, just skip it. I'll bump up my tiger bloom, and big bloom to closer to a full dose, and cut the open sesame out now that its past that point. I really wish I could have gotten the other solubles, I think the open sesame really jumpstarted the bud growth. I'm very pleased so far.

Wow, heck of an update man. I agree with the others, skip it rather than try and replace it.

Thanks shipinit, glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the feed back on the nutes.

So I guess the bees can smell my flowers. Today I found my second bumble bee in my garden. I killed it with some safer soap, and the shoe I stepped on it with, lol. Finding one or two is no big deal, but I'll be pissed if my house gets infested!!! Very pissed!! BUt hopfully that won't happen.

Lol..bees in your garden..they must be making honey oil... (haha..I'm way stoned) Careful of bees TC mate, they carry pollen..and its possible that bee might have been in contact with another grow in your area where there could be male(s)...Wouldnt want you to have seeds pop up...I know it seems unlikely...but honestly bees are responsible for moving pollen for a lot of plants...

Apart from that dude you have a delicious looking jungle there...very nice man!

+rep if i can...not sure if ive spread enough..

That whit ewidow is looking DANDY...lol !!!!!!!!!

THanks guys, I think they are lookin pretty good. As far as the bees go, I thought about the pollen thing, but if they sneak in there isn't much I can do at the moment other then kill them. Hopefully I won't get any pollination, but that would be crazy if I did. It would be interesting to grow the seeds out just to see what came from it.

Well I've killed several more bees, but I think I have a solution now. I finally got the air purification machine from my brother that I've been hoping to use. It filters and ionizes the air, and also produces a safe level of ozone. It has only been in my basement for about 1.5 hours, and when I went down just now to water the girls, I couldn't smell ANYTHING!!!! Seriously nothing at all, before it was pretty obvious as soon as you opened the door to the basement. So I am very pleased with that. Especially since I don't have the money to buy a carbon filter, or make one right now. With any luck this machine will work all the way through flowering, and I won't even have to think about smell again. I'm hoping the lack of smell also will mean no more bees!

Any way as I said I just watered the girls. They were nice and dried out, and I drenched them with a gallon of water each, hopefully pulling some extra O2 into the soil. The 4 WW clones that are in the single bag all started to flower yesterday, and are looking great. I gave them another dose of open sesame, and some 1/4 big bloom and 1/4 tiger bloom. The rest of the girls all got 3/4 strength big bloom and tiger bloom. I gave the 2 largest sativas just a shot of grow big for a little extra N, they had a few more signs of yellowing, but other then that all is well. The only thing I've noticed is on a couple of the leaves on the top of the WW and a few on the top of the big purple power, there is what looks like "light bleaching". Some yellowing on the tips of some of the leaves, but it doesn't look quite like N def. Do you guys know what causes this, is it from being so close to the light? The tops of the WW are only about 13 inchs away from the 1000w, but I've got a fan blowing between them, so they aren't getting hot. Well I'll talk to you guys latta if any body is on. Peace TC

Are you foliar feeding your girls at this point? thats one cause for yellowing tips, but it could also just be a smidge of regular ole nute burn, lol. If it looks like an N deficiency, it probably is the beginnings of one, but dont add anymore N than you already did when you tried to correct it though, just keep adding Phos, n let the leaves yellow up. N dittto on that comment about your widow dude. She's lookin fuckin danky already. 2 weeks from now youlll seee the bitch in all her potential glory dude, n i cant fuckin wait to see that shit too man. ALL of your girls are lookin fuckin nice dude. They all have nice even growth, good node spacing, n they just look like theyre gonna turn into some nice fat donkey dick main colas dude. beautiful


So im about a week give or take behind you man, but ill already tell you that your girls look way better than mine do. My budsites all decided to become their own branches, becuase i left my shit veg for too long because of the *cough* problems ive had, so when i pulled the trigger, all the branches that had some really purdy lookin node spacing, now look fuckin crazy n my canopy is so thick im gonna have to do some cutting back HARDDDDDD on them leaves if i wanna get any type of penetration beneath that bitch. Im scared as hell to do any type of heavy pruning though man. I wanna see SUGAR on them leaves this time. Last time around my nugs werent nearly resin coated enough for my ass, lol. I guess im just gonna have to see what ends up happenin.. . maybe ill just tie back a few main branches n space things out a bit. hmmmmmmm....

Your grow is lookin noice man. Its gonna be an eventful june/july for the two of us to be sure

Lates,

N just from lookin at them again, yeh it looks like you have the beginnings of an N deficiency there for sure. But like i said man, dont do anything else to try n fix it, just let that shit go. Your far enough along to where something like that happening aint gonna hurt your yield at all, if anything the plant using all of its nitro up is a good thing. Just let that shit happen rather than adding more N in the middle of flowering bro. Dont wanna hurt that yield!! your girls are lookin fuckin rediculous with the amount of budsites you have, and i think youll end up with at least a half lb dude. Take all them big plants, n put them with all the clones that you got goin now, n you should come off like a bandit on that shit

I actually didn't add any N to the WW, just to 2 of the sativas. I figured the WW doesn't have nearly as much time left as the sativas, so I didn't want to bother with it. It is certainly doing fine. I didn't realize the pictures showed the yellowing so well. THose pictures are from last week now, and it hasn't gotten any worse, so I'm not really sweating it. I'm looking forward to seeing how the WW clones bud up. They are obviously much smaller, so I don't know what they are gonna do for yeild, but they are already showing sex and have only been flowering for 1 week, so thats a good sign. Any way, thanks for swingin by bro, it good to hear from ya. I'll catch ya later on man. TC

This is exactly the reason for SOG lollipops...

There are no branches to shade the other plants...

The plants are short, so penetration is full...

And you get ALL COLAS...

Nice looking plants by the way TC...

As far as your yellow weirdo... I have had one or two that were almost bleached white in spots...

Couldn't tell you why... and they never filled in either... 3 weeks past harvest time they were still fluffly and underdeveloped...

Just a thought...

Oh ya, so FDD has this foil hat contest, just thought I'd post up the pics of the one I made tonight.





ITs my rasta hat, I call it "If I only had some braids".

Well they are definitely filling in, so I'm not worried about that. The lack of N is my best guess on mine, but just for the heck of it, I raised my light another 2 inchs tonight. That will let alittle more light spread to the other plants too.
