Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Here are some pics #1 was really hurt during the o2 outage and has stopped drinking I am sooo sad she has been a trooper. put up with a lot. I think she is thinking its fall all the 5 leaves that made it threw the hott spell and lack of o2 started turning light green and yellow, shes not drinking as much as she has in the past (was around a gal a day) crystals are 50% cloudy the hairs are golden from white. I took a sample of one lower branch which was laying against the 4' t8s she was pretty dryed out she had no where to go as #1 over took my space.

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Hey BD, just dropped by your journal, how many days have they been in flower? I havent had any experience with the AG, this is the first time growing it, i know the web site said it takes 10 or 11 weeks to flower.

They have been 12/12 since 9-1 but no 30 hr dark so i think it may have slowed it down down. I figure she spit hairs around 10-1 to 10-8 but i guess if you go by the 9-1 we would be 8 wks today Have any of you ever had a plant stop drinking ?? Its weird #2 has been 12/12 since 9-1 and she just started spitting hairs and she was from a bean which started about 2 wks later then #1 bean. They went 12/12 the same time ?? So I am not sure the photo-period change from 24/0 did any thing for these ladies. They really don't spit hairs or form buds till after 3 months from start any how ?? Or maybe its because, i did not have enough lighting in there ?? Well i guess we will see with #3. I really started her young, and did a 30hr dark period. Also topped and lst and some lollie popping , the afganie indi, went into 12/12 on 10-22 with #3. Once #1 is done and out #2 will move over under the hps's and #3 and af will move under the one hps and MH with some cfls too Think I am around 300W of hps 100W MH and about 250W of mixed cfls. Oh and the 4't8s 128W of 3000K bulbs Gonna add my other 4' fixture with 2 3000k and 2 5000k in to the closet once #1 clears out. Then all my ladies will be smaller lst lollie pops.

So far I got 10 little ladies setting up for next round in a mix of 50%ffof and perlite, and 2 in hempy solo cups. Think i am gonna do a flood and fill table after #2 is done. I like the r-dwc buckets but they eat way to much nutes and alot of work moving and flushing and changing every wk. I think with the flood table and 50%ffof. I can cut back on my nutes to 1/4 to 1/2 strength and only flush the resv every 2 wks.

Any body using ffof and general hydro flora series ? When i first planted them in the ffof and added nutes i burned them and had to flush for a couple days. What strength do you use ? 1/4 ,1/2 ?? I know ffof has nutes in them but how long does it last ? Do you have to supplement any thing ?? This is my first go around with ffof and so far not to thrilled. First had thrips and fungASS gnats. So I pasturized and must have not done it right cause i still got fg larve in the runn off from #3. I have used BTi and pyrethrim and still they come out of the run off I havent seen any adults Oh well all my others are clear. And actually #3 soil is ff planting mix i got from a buddy, so maybe cooking my ffof did work ?? Who knows

Well,,, Thats odd, I have the same seeds as you (from barneys) and mine were in veg for 6 weeks (from seed to switch over), and now just 2 weeks in flower, I didnt do the 30 hr dark,,, I just switched the timer over to 12/12 and put in the HPS,, and both of mine have little popcorn buds, Ill shoot a pic here in a bit, still in the dark cycle till noon

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

yea I dont know maybe it bc my light were not strong enough in the beginning ?? or my temps were to hott ?? Well speak of temps finally back in the low 50s over night here and getting my closet to 85 with lights on and 70s with them off I added another 8" booster fan to pump cool air in and reconfigured the fans so 2 circulation. Intake i got a 8", a 4" then a 10" and a 4" to vent hott air out.

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Hey BD just heading over here to say high, thanks for the feedback on my hydro questions, good to see your AG is doing awesome, going to stay tuned in here

 

[basementdwell]

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Thank you Growheart for stopping by. My #1 may not make it, but valuable lesson learned run dual circuits when doing dwc one for o2 and non amp drawing equipment. Then the other for amp drawing equipment and stay under specs on the amp drawing circuit. Flood and fill table is how i am gonna do my next round.

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

some new pics OH and update #2 is growing budds #3 is spitting hairs and she young too. My first lst and supercroped. She has 6 tops and 5-8 mid level and only one runner streatching for the lights The afganie indi is budding also its got a few less tops but has shoots all over I am hoping to reveg this one out to a mom just want to sample her first to see if its worth it. The budd the bean came from was excellent and I may, after taking some cuttings budd her again and spray with c.silver to get some seeds or wait for a buddy doing yumbolt male give me some pollen to germinate her. ALso want to do a cross between the yum and the ag. See if I can play Dr BD Oh and look what i found in my last sack some kind of hawaian strawberry cough or kush ?? He called it hawian and strawberrie but couldnt remember the end its coming out of NJ some where ?? well from what i was told. Oh and almost for got, #1 is 85% cloudy and looks to be putting on some weight She is still hanging in there and hoping she goes amber by this monday. I really want to get #3 and the af into #2 spot and move #2 over to where #1 was. Oh and i got like 3 rooted cutting which are about 3 wks old which decided to flower. think my clone room may be to chilly for them. So should I throw them into the flower closet and let them go
? they are only 5" tall and have 4-5 nodes or should i keep them in veg ? They are getting 24 hrs light Have no idea why they started spitting hairs ? only gave them some 1/4 nutes on N. Temp is 78 and hardly any humidity maybe 30%. I have been spraying them and letting the leaves soak in the RO water for a half hr with the light off. Oh ps they are under the aero garden elite light. in solo cups with 50%ffof/perlite and also 2 of them are mini hempy cups 100% perlite, which have gotten 1/4 nutes since putting them into the Gordan cubes. Lost two cutting over the past two rounds. Looks as if they are just drying out and not rooting> I actually tried two different cuttings in the same cube, I just didn't want to waste a cube so i wonder if the cube is bad ?? not to worried as i am gonna have a round of clippings in a wk or 2 from the 9 vegging now Any how enough with the yapping

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

High Basement Dweller, just dropped in to check out your garden. Very nice. Man, I haven't seen AG since the early 70s... love those golden pistils

Your babies show they're lovin' all your attention... have to learn to split it up with that new one coming, ha!

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Hi horse thanks I cant wait to smoke some of the finely cured golden hair on these buddies. My mouth is watering just thinking about them the flowers are so light green compared to the 5.7.9s fan leaves. All the 3s and 1s are totally cover top and bottom with crystals, just touching the stalks and branches make ur fingers reek with skunkyness, left over from its mom in the genetics. Think the mom of the genes was Skunk #1 and a mix of Columbian gold and possibly some kind of Afghanie ? I will post the genetics soon. Thank u for stopping by

yea so far mom & soon to be baby get 97% and my poor ladies and hobbies only get 3% of my free time But hopefully I will get to spend more time with them after baby is here. I am at the point where I give them a look over in the early pm b4 lights on. Give the co2 bottles a shake and ph the water give the soil water and them i am out till the next pm. But only seeing them every day i notice all the changes still. Got my set up work fairly decent so they are not getting cooked any more or loosing electricity unless the whole grid goes down. Then i have to drag out the generator and power the frige and tap into the fridge line and just power the necessary equipment and cycle the light if need be. But its only a plan till i got to hook it in yesterday we got cloudy trichs and they are definitely fattening up so i ll wait till 25% amber maybe take the lower 1/2 down then the next day the old chop. Tonight plan to get the full on flush with R/O h20 and flora nectar for the last ripening Most of the leave are almost 50% necrotic from burn but who know I don't want and mold although i am only 30% humidity and lows temps was 71.6. Cant wait for my sample to dry out

another budd site on #1 this one really didn't get any hps so i had a 3way cfl spiral rated at 75w 3000k she is a nice budd pretty heavy too

this is #3 in stretch gonna pull them over so they grow like #1 topp

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

oh and for any of you following the baby still not here yet My fiancee is doing very well. well as good as she can be being 40wks pregnant Dr said last appt that they consider 37-42 wks full term.

We are so excited for our first We got the crib and nursery all set up yesterday, (well i mean she did) awaiting our little ones arrival Boy i can imagine what the next few wks are gonna be like. #1 baby coming , #1 AG harvest (found a couple ambers) followed up by #2 a wk or 3 hopefully later, XMAS. WOW ITS GONNA BE EXCITING MONTH Well in case it happens tonight, I will probably be away from the net for a couple days, Stay tuned for updates

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

well since 9-1 they were 12/12. #1 didn't really spit hair for a whole month so was thinking sh may be delayed a tad and had some high temp in the 90s so I say some where around 8 wks pkg said 8-10 flower my trichs are cloudy and some amber so probably any day now she been on ro water and flora nectar for a wk now wk prior was 1/4 strength bloom with no N at all didn't even use calamag either. so she should be very tasty #2 went 12/12 the same time but was stunted as well just really started spitting hairs 3 wks ago still on bloom 75% P bc my #1 got a p burn in the end i am just worried don't want to burn #2. Oh and to my great amusement When i got home yesterday my electric was out again Only for 1/2 hr before i got there so had to kick it in high gear and get the deep cycle batt out and grab the inverter to power my o2 pumps Second time this grow for pwr outage luckily i caught it this time. They were doing work and never informed us of the temp loss of svc (2 hrs total) luckily i came home early Gonna be so happy to go to the flood table and hempy pots This hydro is hard when the pwr keeps going out.

ANy baby update Dr said we will induce by next thursday if she doesnt go by then so I can harvest I hope before then, Saw a couple amber yesterday HELL yea

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Wow, a double header... buds n baby! Good luck on both

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

horse I cant wait for either SO excited i couldnt sleep well last night. We got to see baby in ultra sound and she (WELL I HOPE SHE, we are waiting to find out ??? ) is doing very well and healthy, so cant ask for more. So I took a couple samples of the buds, 2 wks ago and tried it last night,the stem didnt snap but was definatly dry enough tastes just like hash. Its got a great high and since they were mainly cloudy kinda uppy type high. Cant wait to harvest just want some more amber
