Cultivator's Return - Multiple Grows

[Slowpuffer]

No probs.

As you will see looking thtough any of my journals, theres not anything i havent grown in really but coco is my love, its just so user friendly, diverse in its uses and produces fantastic results, it even looks a little like soil so easier to get people to transition from soil based on that.

I try to keep the journals packed with pics and stories of grows and tales of my woes. As ive said earlier im very fortunate to be able to show diff things and this journal will be no differwnt even though its off to a slow start due to starting from germination, it will gather momentum in a couple weeks when im able to start taking cuttings, get the alien system cleaned and loaded back up with the coco/pebble mix and the BLZ bud seedlings.

Ive also cracked 40 liberty haze from barneys farm. I must say i cant wait until i have my mother uo and running again. Seeds are so slow and not knowing what you are going to get can be frustrating when not pheno hunting. The liberty haze seeds were very small and didnt look anywhere near as vigourous as the 60 seeds i started on page 1. I feel the larger seed companies just smash their feminized seeds out to grab as much money from them as they can. Whenever i buy seeds now im going to go witj lesser known producera who maybe have 2 or 3 strains and produce them with love and care which always produces a superior quality. I can understand why people protect their genetics these days by not doing so many regular seeds as they just get breed down to the point they are a shadow of the cup winners they once were. I just hope these Liberty Haze grow to be legendary!

I will upload a few pics from todays finish of harveat and i will add some pics of the germinating seeds.

But I for one think that showing how to start from seed, to finish is the way to teach. That way, no one can say, you didn't show or tell me that. And when you start cloning, that covers most bases. You didn't tell me that you had a online hydro store. Cult Hydroponics

 

[Cultivator]

Thats not my store buddy. But if i were to open one id sure let you know

 

[dandare]

Those lib haze grow quite tall and I found they was array of different pheno,s all finishing up at different times too nice lime-lemon smell and decent smoke not the best haze tho

 

[bignstrange]

Looking good man, nice buds, even nicer space .

Show us how it's done

 

[Bradley1992]

Rock on man...thats 1 hell of a harvest looking good!!!

 

[Slowpuffer]

Thats not my store buddy. But if i were to open one id sure let you know

yeah, I know it isn't cult, was just kidding with ya !! i ordered a bottle of calmag thru amazon, and cult hydro was the seller. Sometimes I think the hydro stores are making more $$ than my dealer ?

Heres a few pics from todays harvest. A small grow consisting of 14 plants in 20litre fabric pots with coco coir as usual. 6x 600w hps.

For 14 plants its not a bad result. Half Dr Krippling Incredible Bulk and half im not sure of the strain. I didnt start the grow as i was abroad and my grow partner set it away without me. I havent been involved much with this apart from phone calls keeping him right on his nute mix. This is the first time ive seen them flowering and too be honest they have turned out alot better than i was expecting.

These came down early really. They should have gone to 9weeks but he was desperate for them to come down, he couldnt wait another week for them to ripen off and dense out even more. His loss any how.

Enjoy.

Yea that last week or 2 is an important one for sure In makn those dense frosty nuggets or should I say boulders lmao those look beautiful bro very nice tell ur buddy he did a great job. I'm curious if u don't mind me askn what nutes did he use??

 

[Scoobynew]

I recently grew a load of the liberty haze an i weren't very impressed maybe I did not do em any justice but it was my least fav strain out of 5 I had going An they was all grown from seed

Welcome. I have a nute schedule here How to grow in Coco - Feed schedule

I recently grew a load of the liberty haze an i weren't very impressed maybe I did not do em any justice but it was my least fav strain out of 5 I had going An they was all grown from seed

Im regretting grabbing these now actually because you arent the only person to say that. But inwill see what i can do with them.


So i have just about finished the new flower room, all that is left is to put the master control board in, some oscillating fans and get an intake in there. Theres not enough air getting through right now. Alsi humidity is low and its showing in the plants. I will get the intake sorted and maybe put in a humidifier altjough that might not be necessary because im putting 2 litres through them now so that in itself should bump up humidity until the roots get bigger.

So a few little problems but nothing serious or anything that cant be rectified. I have the seedlings for the alien system potted up also. They will ait in the net pots and be hand fed this week until the weed which is drying has came out of the alien flower room and that room has been set up coŕrectly also. Numbers are poor because the room was just tbrown together without much thought, going to make it great though. There will be 9 600w hps in that room and 8 600w hps in the other. The plan is to pull minimum 200oz which shouldnt be too difficult but i will see what happens cos what is simple for me doesnt always seem so simple to the guys i employ lol.

So the feed they are getting now is:

1.4ec AN PH Perfect Micro Grow Bloom
Roots excelurator 0.3ml/l
Voodoo Juice 2ml/l
Carboload 2ml/l
Solar Grèen Power 0.5ml/l
ph 5.6

A little tip if you run a larger res. I have a 350litre res filled with water and base nute only. I havent added all the additives because my nute bill for this grow is quite high and the rooting products dont need to be used daily. I take a 20litre bucket of nutes from the res and then add the additives and ph. That way i have a batch of base nutes mixed up and i can easily alternate feeds with and witjout additives that way. If it was a smaller grow id just mix my nutes daily.

Hers are tbe Liberty Haze seeds that i showes in yesterdays pic. They have taken off and have nice tails but im going to leave them until morning. They will be fine and it will make it easier to pot seeds dirwct into pots with media and skip using a jiffy pellet or root riot cube. All 40 have germinated, so again the paper towel method has given me 100% return. Ive done 100 seeds in 3 weeks or so and lost only 1 seed and that could have just been a dud seed not my germination method.

Last night...

Now...

 

[Pennywise]

Yea those are some long taps

 

[Cultivator]

Much better to plant them when they arw minimum this long. Tomorrow when i pot them some will have shed their shells and thats no problem. I will add my great white shark to the media, transplant and water in with ròots excel, voodoo juice and carboload. They will take off

 

[Pennywise]

Ok cool, that beats prying them from their shell

 

[Cultivator]

You just have to be careful that the paper towel doesnt dry out and thatbits quaity paper towel so its harder for the seedling to grow through it. Just take it easy when removing the seedling from the paper towel.

 

[PE636]

Subbed... Beautiful work you're doing!

 

[Pennywise]

I have had them grow into paper, was tricky and had to bury them with some of the paper towel

 

[Cultivator]

Ive done that too penny, it makes no difference cos it still works. As long as it germs and lives thats aĺl that matters. But as ive said before on this forum there are many diff ways of germinating seeds but from my experience germinating thousands of seeds you cant go wrong germinğ seeds in paper towels, it gives as close ton100% germination that you can get and this realĺy matters if you going to spend top dollar on pips.

Looking good there cult!

You going to put them seedlings straight into Coco, jiffy pellets or something else? Only asking as the tails are so long.
Also how will adding the additives you use in your feed schedule affect the EC?

They will go straight in to coco/pebble 60/40 mix as thats what ive got handy. The additives dont affect the ec at aĺl.

 

[MiOutdoorsman]

Drive by... looks good in here cult

 

[Cultivator]

Heres another germination video, check it out.....

YouTube

I sound like im completely baked on that video! I was trying to be quiet for the neighbours listening in lol.

Thats the last of the germinatìon vids, i could show other ways but thats how i always do it and it always works, so defeats the objective to show other ways to do it.

Soon i will start showing training and pruning once the plants are at the right size. Im off to do the manual feeds now and check on the drying tweeds. I mighy get a few pictures up but im sure you guys and gals are bored of seeing all these pictures now
