Cannaruss' Adventures In Hempy Style

[cannaruss]

Doubling your nutes seems like a pretty hard jump. I usually do my moves in 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) increments.

yeah Tead , my measuring spoon is a 2.5ml that's what I upped it. I feel much better about the red stems, im still getting nice green growth above it.



They do look good, don't they.... I love to see a nice healthy garden going. We tend to spend our time looking at plants or gardens with issues. A healthy garden is always a welcome change.

I've not seen the red caused by cal or mag issues myself.
I know that it's often attributed to a phosphorus def. The OGKs in my garden red up pretty quick when they need more food. I use it as an indicator with dark shiny leaves forming the other side of that indicator.
Of course, some strains or phono's of various strains often show red naturally.
Then there's the cold.... and winter is descending for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

I don't consider red a huge issue at all. Many folks like to stay on the light side of things and can experience some really pretty red growth.

thanks for the advice, I feel much better about this redding issue

posting new updates tonight my friends. Should be some lovely pics soon.

 

[cannaruss]

took 7 clones today. 3 Mataro Blues and 4 Critical+. All put into Rapid Rooters.

Damn, I have lots of roots on these clones 9 days later. I will take some pics here shortly

 

[cannaruss]

all of these are Critical+ the others are not rooting as fast. Damn this strain clones good!!!! and fast!!!

Swiss Cheese looking frosty at day 27.

 

[cannaruss]

need to do some organizing with all my power cords, something to work on tomorrow. I am now putting Lemon Skunk, Critical+ and Mataro Blue in flower. My Mars Hydro 900 should be here Monday according to UPS tracking. OK, more photos folks.

 

[cannaruss]

These are all going into flower tent tonight to make room for freshly transplanted clones in veg room. Things are gonna get very interesting very soon.

 

[cannaruss]

think I double posted that first plant, it was Critical+. It is the fastest grower except for the Lemon Skunk which is 60% sativa and it will stretch and get pretty tall quick.

 

[cannaruss]

one of three freshly transplanted rapid rooter clones. Time for those roots to stretch to the reservoir.

Sub'd and all caught up! Great looking garden

 

[AngryBird]

Lovely set of roots on the clones

 

[Tead]

all of these are Critical+ the others are not rooting as fast. Damn this strain clones good!!!! and fast!!!

Good Gawd! Those are just beeeeeeeautiful roots! They look moldy with all the little micro-root growth.
My roots NEVER look anywhere near that good. Jealous!
I've historically had really easy times cloning the Crit+. I've also found that she's a nice stable plant over repeated cloning generations.

I find the Crit+ veg fast and big... and they pump out buds fairly quickly, but then they're a bit slower to fill in and mature.
2 cents.

 

[cannaruss]

Thanks Tead. Im thinking this Critical+ is gonna be a keeper for sure. Fast cloning, fast vegging and fast budding, a perfect triple threat. I noticed that the dryer the Rapid Rooter during cloning the faster roots develop. A good thing to know in the future. I soak them in a little Super Thrive mixture and squeeze them out nicely before inserting the clone, after that its just a light foliar misting once a day.

 

[Tead]

after that its just a light foliar misting once a day.

I think that's the magic bit. Feeding the plant in a foliar method thru cloning really enables the plant to produce impressive roots.
Unfortunately, I end up with rotted leaves really easily when I introduce water this way, so I steer clear of the foliar methods.
Yup... color me jealous again.

Subb'd.

I have to mention something you need to change ASAP!! Post #105, page 7. Please get your electrical off the floor. That is very dangerous and I wouldn't want to hear something bad happened if I didn't say something.

Everything looks great otherwise. Peace!!

 

[cannaruss]

yes shaggn, will zip tie electrical up tonight. thanks.

 

[cannaruss]

got all electrical up and out of the way. Also did some defol. It kills me cutting all those fan leaves but I know its for the greater good.

 

[cannaruss]

oh, I left one without any defol for a end comparison on yield.

 

[AngryBird]

testing different things to compare is good, then you know for sure what is best.
