5 Unknown Strains - 2012 Grow

[GigaGrew]

we need to clear the air a little wiz.

the friendly little competition in the other thread is yesterdays news, it is what it is.

if you percieve im starting to get on your case a little, its because of <insert roughly relevant point here>.

and if you didnt get that, then i have nothing else to say on the matter as its subconscious and no amount of prodding will get you to focus on the man or woman behind the post

[WizHigh]

I got a Giga Fly swatter

 

[GigaGrew]

can i smoke it?

hmmmmmm wonder if i can smoke fungus gnats...my unwelcome houseguests are probably getting more THC than i am right now

 

[Muttt]

If you can smoke them, I have a ton of them on a strip of fly paper you can have ..... LOL.

 

[GanjaDon]

Sup Wiz!

Just read your journal, front to back, +rep for all the great work with your plants!
Kinda amazing project u got going here =) and pretty much all the questions that pop up in my head during the reading, was answerd in some way or another by you or some one else! great journal, i learnt alot and got really inspierd my self of trying out different stuff, some wich might fail terrible or turn out to be the best thing ever, time will tell.

enough with the greetings and all.. haha.. and on with the questions that i still got!

first, your said some pages back that your feeding needle got cloged?
are you flusing your need with plain water before giving it nutes, to prevent growth from entering the tip of the needle ? might even help to turn the needle a few times from time to time.


Second, whats the benefit of having one injection site vs multiple?

And last but not least, paint a mental picture of a plant, no topping or other bondage done to her, just a main stem with 5 or so nodes on her.. see her? good. Then lets say that one pair of nodes have less growth then the other 4, would it be possible to inject some leafs on that node(s) to to boost that part of the plant more then the other. or would it just be leveld out automaticly with the other injected nutes ?

Peace
Cheese

Great to have you here Cheeses.

I honeslty havent thought about twisting the needle but its more that the nose of it is way to small so it will get clogged regardless. I used hygrozyme in it and that breaks down salt build uo and everything else. I just need a wider nose needle and for my plants to have a huge stock so i could be able to fill it up more with less clogging. Its kind of wierd feeding it threw needle because its like when the plant is full it will start to leak from all parts of the main stock its like its crying hahahaha!!!!


Second question, that was a good question to ask because Im trying to see if it was possible to fix deficiencies in the same manner. But the answer to your question would be a big IDK because the fluids run up and down the main stock and threw the branches the better way to catch up another branch would be either to super crop, LST, TOPPING to stop the up & down of fluid in that branch or to add more light on that side. i figure your asking this because you dont want to interrupt the growth of your plants. But even if you top it will not stop it from growing up ward but it will direct more energy out so the shorter branches will catch up with the top and then let it grow from there.

But I will be sure to try this when my clones get about 3-4 weeks old. I would say injecting silicon into that branch would be efficient for this. I am still doing research for this project so even after harvest I will either make a journal just for this type of project so we all can have input on it or continue it here.

What I have notice with growing is that each branch is like its own main tree. So treat side branching just as well as you treat the plant it self. I have made a pretty bushy and big plant doing so. Also when growing out your plant look at the side branches and which ever ones are thicker those will be the ones that will put out the most. I usually take the skinny branches off for clones as I feel thats just a waste of energy on the plant.


But yea once I have all my findings and research material I will just start a solid journal all about injecting to fix defincies quicker and to promote larger yields and growth of branches

Quick little update on clones and girls in WEEK 3 of flower

PS I truly recommend putting 1 tblspn of epsom salt around your plants before every other water, It will really keep your soil up and you wont have to worry about any Mg, Sulfur or N deficiency in the future. Keeps your plants green also

Everything above this knuckle grew some serious size buds all the way down the stem. I tryd to upload the photo but its stuck in the queue part, i think because i crop it. IDK ill try again

 

[miwa]

looks good to me..increased bud size...try compost tea..on those clogged needles..in the hospitals they leave a needle in..i wonder if that would work with a plant ???

 

[WizHigh]

Yea ive been trying to get those but i dont take to many trips to the hospital. lol last time i tryd to take some and the buzzer went off on the cabinet lmao. They only sell the small ones at the local pharmacy's.

Nice girls Wiz =)

I cant remember if it was in this journal or some place else that i read about the story of how they came up with the 1hour in the middle of dark period during veg, and you posted that u was going to serach for it or something.

it seems i just wanders across it here on 420 =), The Gas Lantern Routine for Growing Cannabis i just started reading it, and it's some good reading this stuff =) will doit for sure next grow!.

Are there any needle tips with more "outlets" on, like those you get for airpumps that will give you 12-36 outlets. just thinkning about your needle getting clogged.

 

[Vick074]

Nice update Whiz!
Things are looking good!
Flowers are really starting to sprout.
Just wondering if you have any problems with Fungus Gnats?
I saw all the dead leaves piled up on top of your medium, thought that would attract bugs?
Oh and thanks for the reps, sent some right back..

You may have just given me a great idea. Those Iv tubes that hooks to the needles in the hospital are pretty much the same size as the air pumps tubes. I can run tubes from my air pump threw a air valve so solution wont back up into the pump and i can control the air flow that will push the solution threw a container that will be connected to the IV into the needle and into the plant. Ill draw it up for visual
Ill make sure its all done when I make a journal just for that!!!

Good stuff Cheese

Thanks Vick.

Theres no problems with any pest. Actually I got the idea of throwing the dead leaves on top of the soil from that master grower guy. I cant never remember his name but the guy with all the DVDs and books on growing. Pretty much the nutrients from the leaves will go back into the soil when you water over them. So I just start throwing them in there. Havent had any problem yet! Just a little PM problem with my fan. Thats starting to bother me really but its only on the leaves thats closest to the fan of course.

I gave them 10ml of bloom last week with 2.5ml of liquid kool bloom. This is per gallon between both plants so thats 5ml bloom, and 1.2ml kool bloom there getting between each other. This feed ill do 15ml bloom and 5ml kool bloom per gallon. They only use half gallon each. I was thinking if i should start making there own gallons for the PPM reason of all of this or the PPM also gets divided right?

Wiz, Okey if ask a question in your journal ?

*hihi* kinda already did

here come another one HAHA

Would i benefit from the deminishing light schedule (11/13 down to 9/15), even tho i havent used the GLR from start, and have my babes on 12/12 now, 1 week on sunday. Thinking i might go down to 11/13 1/1-13.

Perhaps you your self could shed some light on this for me

Thanks
/cheese

420 bugged for me so dident se your post until after i did this one.

My fault, i thought i responded to the GLR question it must not had posted lol. But yea I use the GLR and alot of other growers do as well. It saves on electricity and you get the same type of growth as you would with flowering. So same as diminishing light period will offer the same results. Its like how some growers would give 24hrs dark before harvest. Its just giving longer dark periods threw out the flowering cycle. Its suppose to promote more flowers since its longer dark periods. But to me the plant has to store up alot of energy when lights are on to do so.

A bigger light source would be great for this for the reason being theres alot more photosynthesis going on with a 1000w vs a 400w. Im not diminishing my lights on this grow. I ran GLR with out going to 10/14.

Hope this helps!

They're looking good Wiz!

Man I have to comment on the experiments I'm sorry. If you guys are that serious about learning the plant then you should pick up a botany book and study it instead of the internet trust me lol. I respectfully disagree with everything sorry. Even the core of your experiment is fundamentally wrong . Not trying to be rude, you know me bro, just honestly giving my opinion because I don't want you to ruin your crop. I think injecting plants is a huge mistake. It takes years to study proper anatomy. Plants are simpler than animals but still.. A few pages on the internet won't come close to an accurate plant physiology book. You'll never stumble on a breakthrough by trying random stuff. I feel I'm being such a dick with this comment, I'm sorry if it was a buzkill. I really think your plants look great so hopefully no damage done, I'm only suggesting you hold off the injections from now on maybe ? bro, may you nugs always be dense

Wiz,
Looks real good man. Lots of new stuff happening. Glad to be back.
