4 Strains: 630W LEC CMH

[Slowpuffer]

The next generation. 4 blue dreams, 4 Mega Jacks, 1 og kush. The little guy (bubba's gift) in the dixie cup is same age as the rest, It's only in the last 2 days shown roots. Was my last chance to save the strain !! Someone tell me how to clone this bubba's gift, so it roots ? It's easily the most difficult strain , I've tried to clone. i started with 8 mega jack, 7 blue dreams, 3 og kush, & 7 bubba's gift. All in the same dome. They all thrived, except for bubba's gift. This is the last of 7, just starting to grow roots, 6 wks late !! If it wasn't such good herb, I

'd toss it in the trash pail !!

The 630w tent was put on a diet today, Day 49 bloom. i cut the ppm from 1300 to about 700. Then two days from now I'll cut it to 400 ppm, and run that till day 56, then flush with tap water. The Mega Jack plant is advertised to go 10-11 weeks, but the trichomes are getting amber, at end of wk. #7, so I'm treating it like a 9 week strain. let the swell begin !!

 

[Slowpuffer]

Fed 500 ppm tonight. will do same tomorrow and then flush to 50% runoff. This will be their 1st. runoff, ever. I used to be leery of the high ppm , but I've found that in coco, runoff ppm means little. I was flushing with low nutrient solution every two wks., but it didn't seem to make any difference, so why waste the time & energy. This new plant (Maga Jackpot) (Jack Herrer, northern lights & haze) is supposed to have purple, but at this time none. I did test it, and it's good smoke, even without a cure. hoping for a big swell !!

This is my other 4X4. Two bubba's gift, one blue dream, & one og kush. 37 days into bloom. i think when I added the 315w lec light, that it up my temp to much, and that's why the bubba's gifts are clawing. I added a pedestal swivel fan, tonight , hope that helps. Fed at 1100 ppm, one qt. solution for every 5 gal bag. Wife gives them another qt. 3 hrs. before lights out.

Flushed the 630w tent yesterday, Flushed to 50% runoff. All's running smoothly at the moment. Water only till harvest.
Fed the 400w/315w grow at 1300 tonight. Got the new 315w lec a taste to close about a week ago, and a few tops got burned a little. So i guess they aren't kidding about 30" from the canopy?
Ordered 10 7 gal. bags today. I'm moving up from 5 gal bags, want to know if they really make larger plants, than the 5 or 3 gals ? 5s grow bigger than 3s, so lets see what 7s do. I hope everyone's garden is happy tonight !!

 

[Slowpuffer]

The three 5 gal. bags/blue dream have dried & started getting 115ppm, phed tap water, once per day at lights on. the 7 gal. bag with the mega Jackpot is not dry enough to give any more water yet. Leaves are yellowing nicely. now if they'll put on some more weight, I'll be a happy camper.
The other tent, just started week 7 bloom, so I

discontinued the pk 13/14 yesterday. if the new 315w lec cmh hadn't failed, this would have been a much better yield. It's called,' shit happens,' !! Fedex ground is not what's happening, speedwise !! but I'll still get a decent harvest, hopefully !! pics. are the 630 tent. 3 blue dream, one Mega Jackpot.

Day 3 of tap water only. The girls are cannibalizing them selves just right. Each bag got 1/2 gal ph-6.5 tap water, two hrs. after lights on. I'm looking for an led light under $300, that'll veg a 4x4x6.5 space. My veg. rm. is really the weak link in my small operation. like right now I got 9 nice size clones in 1 gal. bags, that I should have transplanted into the 7 gal bags a week ago, but I don't have a light that will cover them. They're bunched up together, like sardines in a can. So even after I transplant to 7 gal, I'm gonna have to veg for another ten days to get them ready for bloom. if they would have went into their final bags last week, under a good light, then they would have been ready. People are suggesting the mars reflector 192, but I'm just fishing for advise if that's the best bang for my buck?? These are day 61 of the 630 grow.

Day 2 of hang time. They were drying to fast, so I installed a little humidifier in 630w tent, jumped from 31, to 55. Got one fan gently blowing at the wall, just to keep the air moving a little. I'd like to get 6 days hang time.
The other bloom tent is 2 days into water only, and sucking about 1/2 gal. per day.
And the veg tent is a mess, but a few days in a better light will correct it. Everything needs transplanting (4 blue dream, 4 Mega jackpot & 1 og kush) to their 7 gal. bags, but have to wait till the 630w tent drys, as I don't have enough light in veg. tent to cover them, once transplanted. It's starting to look a lot like Xmas. !! Got our 1st. snowfall yesterday (3 inches) !!

 

[Slowpuffer]

Had to jar them at end of day 4, low rh was drying them to fast. So I wound up with 18 1 qt. jars about 3/4 full. 5 jars of Mega Jackpot & 13 jars of Blue dream. After I cure till stable at 62%, I'll then weight it. but I already know it's about 20zs, + or _ 1 z. I'm not proud of that yield, but we'll improve this round, hopefully !! If you all want some boring pics. of mason jars, I'll post them?

I dry for about 10 to 12 days and cure for 30.

I dry for about 10 to 12 days and cure for 30.

Yes pontiacman, that's the way to do it, if you got the right environment. It's winter, and I heat with gas, and it takes moisture out of the air. We have a problem growing house plants, in this house. A good humidifier would fix it somewhat, but that cost $$, that I don't have .

 

[Slowpuffer]

The newly transplanted Mega Jackpot clones are showing symptoms of some deficiency . Same thing happened last grow, but didn't seem to effect yield. The blue dreams & og kush in same tent are thriving. Help !!

 

[Slowpuffer]

I increased my base nutrients from 1.4ec to 1.7 ec, for last two days, on cultivators advise. While it hasn't completely gone away, the plants do look better. I transplanted the 4 blue dreams from 1 gal. to 5 gal. They were gonna be 7 gal., but the idiots sent me the wrong bags. So instead of going thru the return process, I just used them. actually 3 blue dream & one og kush. One of the 4 blue dream was having problems, so I replaced it with an og kush. if it recuperates, then I'll work into one of the two bloom tents. Timers set for
18-6. Veg for another week!! This Blue dream is heavenly !!

 

[Slowpuffer]

When we can't see the bags any more, I'll flip to 12/12. This is the Mega Jackpot.

 

[Slowpuffer]

And this is the 3 blue Dream & 1 OG Kush. Transplanted today to 5 gal. bags.

All two month old clones.

 

[Slowpuffer]

I increased my base nutrients 2-3 days ago from 1.4 ec, up to 1.6-1.7 to see if I had a k defic. issue, but I'll back it back tomorrow night, as it canoeing of the leaves. I hate to flip any plant that's not 100% healthy.

 

[Slowpuffer]

This is the 3 blue dream & 1 OG Kush, under the 315wlec/430whps. this was supposed to be 4 blue dreams, but one was lagging, so og Kush was my back up. The 4th. bluedream is now in recovery, and I'll sneak it in some where. Either that, of give it to someone ?

 

[Slowpuffer]

I reduced the dosage of nutrients for last 3 days, and everything is looking much better. New growth is nice & green & praying to the light. the canoed leaves will be pruned off tomorrow and probably flip 1st. day of new yr..

 

[Slowpuffer]

Gave them all a good haircut today. Bent & tied branches down. They should recoop enough to take a couple clones off each, in couple of days. Hoping to flip New years eve, but I'll flip when they're ready. After the haircut.

 

[Slowpuffer]

I'm totally confused now. The leaves look like overdose of nutrients, to me. but I grow these strains for awhile now & I've changed nothing . I think the low humidity is not allowing enough moisture for the leaves and because of that, the roots are not uptaking nutrients & it's showing as a deficiency of some sort. I faithfully check ppm & pH in final feed solution. Low humidity is being created by gas heater working overtime, trying to keep up with this -8f bullshit. The older I get, the more difficult it gets !!
