Dutchman’s 1st Grow Ever: 2018

I never run my humidity over 50% here.. I've lost to many crops over the years since moving here to either PM or Bud rott. Temps and R/H get to the right point,,, mold spores germinate. And we have tons of molds around this place... Of course, the proper filter of intake air is really important.


BTW how the freak doing..
 
Humidity - and temperature - is only part of the equation. Plants transpire, and dense buds/plants can mean that the moisture released from the inner leaves has no clear air path for evaporation or breezes to pass through that area. I assume that a higher relative humidity can encourage this thing, but even with fairly dry conditions, mold can become an issue (or at least a concern) if the plant structure is dense enough.

Hey Hey everybody! It’s that time again for another update! It has been cold and raining here in Ontario for the past week and it has really put a damper on things. Supposed to get some sun on Wednesday so hopefully we can enjoy it!

It was a busy day today... got the new tent all set up, and moved into its new home.





I fed EM1 again and gave her a big lollipop! Shaved them legs as @newty says haha :high-five:She looks strong and healthy up too so I’m eager to start seeing her pack on the weight now! Stretch has stopped for sure and it’s now flower building time!









After setting up the tent I got in and started the lollipop bonanza! Stripped everything up to the net and anything small that wasn’t going to make a decent bud got removed! I tucked fan leaves and spread out the branches in the net as much as I could to allow for maximum light coverage!






After giving her a good stripping I gave her a feeding.
1gallon of water mixed:
-7mL/g calmag
-8mL/g AN pH perfect Bloom A+B
-8mL/g Bud Candy
-8mL/g Big Bud

PH @ 5.8
PPM - 987

Yesterday I presoaked 3 small pots with distilled water and placed on my heatmat beside the rockstar kush seedling. After 24hrs I proceeded to take some of the cuttings from today and turn them into my hopefully successful clones!

I shipped the branch off and placed in a cup of water until I was done everything in the big tent. I then took my cuttings over and cleaned off anything below the top 2 nodes of growth. I scraped the bark off the bottom 1.5” and dipped into rooting powder. I stuck the powdered end into the moistened promix and then put a clear cup sprayed with distilled water on top for a humidity dome. I will spray each morning and begin to crack the domes after day 2 for air circulation. I have them placed on my heatmat along side the rockstar kush seedling which is on Day 6 today since sprouting and just looking lovely!

Hopefully I can get success with these clones as my last attempt was a fail.










Keeping my heat mat set at 80’F and it seems to be keeping the base of the plants at a nice even warmth of 78’Fso hopefully this helps promote those roots to pop and helps stimulate growth on the seedling!

Hope you are all well and warm and I’ll post my first Video Update tonight!

Bless Up everyone !:passitleft::ganjamon:
 
Thanks shed! I got lots of patience with the clones I really hope they take this time! Looking forward to them growing out though and getting some monster crops going on! Hells yes!

Nice clean-up Dutch! You lifted the smaller one which makes definitely makes them more even (could to higher if you have something to raise it). Expect a bit of a delay on the clones while they reveg because of the pistils, but then...watch out o_O. Monstercrop time!

Good luck with them.
 
Great lollipops! That big gal is after a prize :)

Well even if she doesn’t win any prizes she’s my pride and joy! She’s an absolutely gorgeous monster and she stinks lovely already haha! I’m really excited to start seeing these colas swell up! If you look close in a few of this cola pictures you can see trichomes forming already ! We’re on the right track !
 
Nice video but I'm a photo person. I'd rather spend 30 seconds looking at your pics than 2:48 on a video. Nothing personal...just my preference :).
damn room full lol and popping more clones lol

Thanks Shed ! That’s why I kept the 2 separate. My update is all pictures because it’s easier to document and then my video was for anyone who wanted a more personal perspective of the monster! Haha
:high-five:

Yea!!! Trying to get some success with cloning this time! Fingers crossed.

What’s up MGR!

The porno music makes it perfect!
:high-five:
Well done buddy!

Haha thanks brother ! I knew someone would love that smooth funk for the inaugural tent tour !

You do have abit going on... My head's still realing from the photos... But looks like you got a fine rotation going on.... I don't read alot,,, but do tell about to freak,, I must have missed...........

Dude like the tent... I get more use outta my mother tent than any of my tents... I got slightly bigger I think? Mine 16X36X48". My nursery/cloner/sprout/hospital. Hell even my flower room when I lived in a 'high' risk trailer park down in Missouri. It fit under the shelve in the walk-in closet. Way easy to hide from eyeballs at the time.... But it's all ya need to suppose your other tent to keepem going.. GL cool setup...

BTW I concer TS,, R/H keepen the /H down sure ain't no cure for rott, I live in an area that tends to have an extremely wet offseason,,, hell, that last for 8-9 months out the year, and rain start most of the time the first couple of Oct outdoors, and it get's up there,,,, I filter my intake,,, keep R/H below 45%,, happy healthy plants,, least thought they was. Only to find grey mold... I do tend to wonder what the R/H is inside a massive cola? Any transpiration wood get trapped.. Around here it does get easy to ''catch a mold''' without air and air control....

I don't think R/H wood hurt a plant grown in a 1000% sterile environment from making it thru with 100% R/H. Now do I know? Naw just neck talking but?

What I don't like about keeping the R/H down is I can see it might be keeping the fruits from getting good and juicy?
This is more babbling then I've done in a week.

Hello hello.. Looking good
Video and bad connection.. Not a good idea. Need to watch later.
New tent is fitting in nicely.... Wait until fiance will have to make room for one more tent lol...

Hey Cali !

Yea your mother tent is a bit bigger than my new mother/clone/seedling area! Mine is a 24”x24”x48” but it’s perfect for what I need to begin my perpetual journey of seeds and clones !:high-five:

The new tent was meant to be it fits in that spot perfectly ! I already got the famous “eye roll” from the fiancé so I’ll have to be a good boy for the next few weeks lol!

I do need another light or 2 though! I’ll have to keep that on the down low though :rofl:

Looking good dutch. That EM is gonna give ya some stonking buds cuz

Here’s hoping brother ! The heavy lollipop and good spread on her should hopefully produce some good resinous buds that will make donkeys blush !
