I Like To Keep The Improvements Coming!

So as the title says I have added some stuff and a changed up some stuff....

I redid all the nute levels I am feeding and I am having better results.... I feed now shorter times but twice a day now...I don't want the plants in flower to be able to drink the 5 gallon pots dry as some near the end of flower are... That and the increase in nutes etc across the board should start improving the last week of flower most of my plants don't like.

In veg I am feeding only 3 times a week now as the pots never get dry. They just aren't big enough in the 1 gallons usually to drink it all so that should help the roots build a little better structure drying them slightly...

I am now cloning with Coco and I will tell you it works damn well...

Take a look

These three here are all cloned direct to coco... I shave the stem a little cloning gel and right into sopping wet coco with no perelite or grow stones... So the Coco is very thick... I didn't spray them or anything and they where kept wet from my rez in veg ...(hand watered)

Plentio roots there...!!!! So If I can get it to be that simple and consistent... I dont recall losing one clone yet this way. This is really as easy as it gets...


The next mod I made to simplify things and so far I am soooo digging it... One of my major time things is maintaining PH in my grows. I have seen the results of too high or low PH from just several days.... So I check it daily... and PPM regularly as well but not as much because I know what I am putting in and know what the PPM will be but I still check it. Drain to waste they usually don't change much as they don't pull contaminants.. they simply feed outward... But I run one rez for multiple plants and strains so I check most stuff daily...


Now I just look at these...

The Bluelab is the PPm and temp etc combo meter... oh yah it stays right there and I turn it on boom.. done.. No more pulling liquid into a cup and testing it. My handheld is a bluelab as well and a damn good meter... but this is the cats ass! The smaller one is PH only I have in veg it was just under 40 bucks and so far it is just as I needed... Veg is more forgiving so I wanted the good one in Flower...


That is about it for the recent changes...

I am still battling gnats but I am really doing well to keep it to a minimum.. A plan to rid them once and for all is in place... They where still breeding from the openings in the drains on my plastic pots. So as the plastic ones in flower get harvested.. Soon it will be softpots all over.... I am still using the Gnatnix and spraying azatrol regularly but only on the tubs and not really any foliage... base of plants down... All my spare coco and etc in closed tubs etc... I vacuum regularly... Even azatrol walls etc... So I am doing all this regularly and soon enough the place will be rid of them.


I harvested that young JH from flower maybe a few days early but it was starting to cloud up on the tric's so I pulled it...

Smallest one i have cut up in awhile but it is very tasty... I look forward to smoking the new strain.. I'll try to run this one again but i think I need to switch veg lighting and for now I like the GL lighting... I wanted to get the JH out so I could keep the rotation/perpetual going...


So still in Veg it looks like this....

Still alot going on... I just switch on the other 4 tubes on my veg light.. Running the max 480W now on it... All my small plants from seed have struggled and it took me alot of wasted seeds to realize they don't have enough light intensity. Just a half of a day on full power and they are doing better... So I will either run at 480 for now or figure out a way to move them higher up to the light... For now I will reverse the tub again and put the bigger plants further from the light and the smaller ones further up the incline....



So over in flower things are looking great....

I am still running the room with one side lower on the light and the small groups.... It really isn't and age thing just growth vertically.

BBHB is starting the fillout phase... 2 more weeks ;) This one looks really delicious and it still has what I feel should be some serious weight added!

Then this one above is the sour Diesel on week 9 of 12... so it has a good ways to go but looks like it needs to be plucked now... I am going to run her til she can't run no more.... wow are the sugars getting thick!

Then what may be the last PC run on this plant.. clones...

I popped another seed and if it is female it will be the new one for now. I want to get some new seeds as all mine are from hermies etc.. we'll see what happens... The run I have been running was the same...But the results on this have always been really good!

NL that I got in my last seed order... Finally some of these are reaching flower.. I had forgotten how long it take a plant from seed... Thus why Veg is busy right now.. I don't want empty spots in flower... I want to always have a plant in a 5 gallon ready..

Then the last one above is Fruit Punch... Just a couple weeks into flower.... So it has a long way to go but follow along the pattern of a new wave of plants to test... What will be the Fav? Strongest?


So hopefully people still get some info from me posting... Thank you to all of you for stopping by...
