Autos v. Photos - A 5x5 No Rules Fight for Yield: A Jon & NickHardy Gig
- Thread starter Jon
- Start date
I’m having real issues with the Bubba Kush, only 3/7 I’m sure of. Don’t get it. Environment is awesome. Nutes on point. Ph perfect, steady 5.8 as she blows. The top left one is dead, just waiting for & Co to forget about it before removing. I’ll swap the baby still in the peat for it.
Dropped the light and gonna mix some stronger nutes. These are at 1.2EC can run as high as 2.0 here according to Dutch Pro (they’re maybe at 600ppm but that tester is knackered) reading about the strain apparently its a glutton crossed with a gannet in veg. And gas - let there be gas available today.
EDIT - Dosed them with just a blast of 4-0-0 Cal Mag Plus. Shade over 2ml/l - this is full veg level. Go as high as 2.5 in flower. They look a bit pale and stalled growth. The reservoirs are mostly emptying though.

First splitter arrived. I actually want 3 but think that one is coming from China so next week.
Saw weakness in the plants so dropped the lights. Bumped the fert and added gas.

They’ll be on it from now on. As I take Jon on a magical mystery tour to downtown with the Thai Road Anthem on repeat.

I have a Cyco mix, a Prescription Blend mix, an organic mix, and a seedling PB starter mix at the moment. Only four. Lmao. They’re labeled. Lol.

Mine were all looking a touch paler than I’d prefer too, but now that everyone is on their week one mixes they have almost immediately gotten to the right color. The Trizkit was the worst and she looks great now. As billed, she’d become the biggest of all these plants. The marketing says she’s a 7’ auto!!!

Nick Hardy, why do I get the feeling that if there was a lmao due to experience emoji you just posted it?That goddamn canister brings back a lot of memories about a different gas….
Nope - fortunately not ever so much as broken a bone. Last trip to hospital was I slipped on a wet step with worn flip flops and cracked my shin open. I wanted it glued the Dr said no for weird Thai money reasons so ai said fine stitch it but no local anaesthetic (they were gonna charge a bunch for that) so they sent this trainee Dougie Hauser type to stitch it. He looked terrified, hands shaking, the nasty white man is gonna get angry so he took an age, like 40 minutes to put 7-8 stitches in. Decent scar!
The last 10 minutes smarted a little to be fair
But yeah - painkillers never been my bag, after the dentist or whatever no need.
BUT - as I think you know? I faint at the sight of hypodermic syringes

Lmao. Well, cool, but haven’t you ever gone to a concert and done a big balloon of nitrous? I thought everyone had done that at least. I got busted selling a six foot tank of it by four guys in DEA jackets in the parking lot of the Spectrum inn1989. Lmao! I was a scumbag selling hippie crack that tour. TIL then.

Nah - it only became a thing in the UK in the last 5 years. Just banned it. I left 20 years ago. Fuck this year. On my 50th I’ll likely have lived half my life in England and half on other continents. Never spent a night in jail in Asia. That’s something!

Unrelated (but plant related) Friday Post
These are in my front yard. Never researched to ID them. They never actually make it to flower unless conditions are just right. Usually they just stay as these long, red, unopened, calyxes I guess or whatever they’re called. But this year we are just beginning to actually see the flowers! They’re way pretty and cool. And last all of three days before they die. Lmao. But it’s such a colorful and pretty plant thing it felt right for a Friday. Enjoy!

Wouldya look at that. Bubba Kush wants full strength veg nutes already. Honeys you’re in the right place you want to be greedy. Even that one looks like its praying for mercy from the almighty, like Sergeant Elias at the end of Platoon arms up stretched with his M16 in his hands - yeah that one front left - popped its second set of true leaves today finally.
So yeah I reckon ai’ll have a full complement of 14 ready to go. Tomorrow inline fan and probably the CMH. That’ll be fun throwing in a non LED curve ball. These are all not meant to go above 120c’m but the tent can go 150cm so might as well max it. Especially as I have the side lighting to go in.

I’m psyched to see some CMH! Been a long time!

Day #15
Stage #1 Popped January 5th
Stage #2 In dirt January 7th
Stage #3 Swickies & Tent January 14th
Stage #4 Final Pots January 22nd
The “dead” one & Co is determined to rescue
So we have in 110oz Solo Cups:
6x Bubba Kush
4x OG Kush
2x Blackberry Moonrocks
In 16oz Solo Cups
Blue
Bubba Kush - Coco Peat
Green
OG Kush - 100% Perlite
Always wanted to do a pure perlite grow and this is it. No more up pots for any of these.
CMH is going up this evening - there are some Gorilla x Banner Regs hitching a ride for a bit off to the side - not part of this grow just sharing a light for a week or two before upstairs for sexing.
I’m hoping to flip in 3 weeks from today which will mean a 100-110 Day grow.

Ok, my turn for an update I guess.

Oops. Here it is. I have made a few changes
I’m resetting my days. They’re way too big to be on officially day five. I’m going back to my original day numbering, which makes today
Day 13
That puts them nute-wise at the beginning of week three, which is how they look as far as their size anyway.
So with the two Gorilla Cookies/Cyco plants, I skipped ahead to week three. I also switched from the Basic to the Advanced Feed Chart for Hydro. The Advanced chart is the one that uses every ingredient, and after the money I spent on them I may as well use them all. At some point this week (they are feeding daily) the regimen includes the one time application of the GrowXL. I have significant trepidation about this. I’m going to do it, mid week, but I’m scared.
Meanwhile, on both the Gorilla Cookies and the Apple Fritter (the 2 coco/hydro plants) I have a few roots poking through the bottom. Time to fire up the reservoirs. So right now I’m soaking my air stones and this afternoon I’m going to set up and start up both buckets.
The Bruce Banner, Trizkit, and Cherry Pie are all ready to uppot just about into their waiting pots, that will happen in the next couple days. Once that’s done, everyone is in their final pots, and everyone is on week three (nute plants). When I uppot the organic Cherry Pie I’ll begin top dressing all four organics with the first veg application of GeoFlora and EWC. Note: only the two gallon organic pots, a Gorilla Cookies and the Northern Lights, are getting GeoFlora. The Skywalker and the Cherry Pie have the California Super Soil. So far they have gotten plain water alternating with Kelp/Mackerel water.
My tents three rows are:
Back:
Gorilla Cookies coco/hydro/Cyco
Northern Lights soil/GeoFlora/organic
Gorilla Cookies coco/Cyco
Middle:
Cherry Pie California SS/organic
Bruce Banner coco/Remo
Skywalker California SS/organic
Front:
Trizkit coco/Remo
Gorilla Cookies soil/GeoFlora/organic
Apple Fritter coco/hydro/Remo
So that’s where I’m at. Pictures later.
