First Ever SCROG (Kinda) with 600w GrowLedHydro

[GrowLEDHydro]

I destroyed two godbud males today leaves me with 1 fem Godbud ... its a good one though so its 2 cuttings will be mothers as well. Still awaiting patiently for the above jack herer to show its real sex... no balls yet.



I actually like this photo...

I was wondering how many weeks in these pictures were taken?

Grow is looking excellent cant wait to see the results of the different strains..

oh and one more thing how do you get our pictures in the post so big?

nugz..

 

[NuhNugz]

i have beginning flowertime written in my notebook (APRIL 10) ...so my last pictures were at 12 nights and 13 days. Actually, ww, bw, diesel, blue hash, blue fruit are about 12 days ahead of everything else @ March 14th. The timestamps on my journal are fairly accurate ..within a day. The rest are March 28th.... at least from seed sprout.

As far as getting them big ... I'm using a sony avchd handycam with 10mp photos. I upload the photos to my computer... open them with infranview and convert them to jpg at about 40% setting which makes them roughly 500k instead of 4-6mb ...btw..wish the site would allow at least 5mp photos. Hard drive space on servers is cheap nowadays ...and getting cheaper by the day.

I then upload them to the site here ..and click on the photo after its uploaded which brings up its actual size...which makes a large photo ... right click on them and copy the photo info and then hit the photo link here in the thread box ... insert/paste .. and presto.

Flowering: Day 15

Still unknown Jack Herer. No balls ... no hairs so I separated it until it either shows

Various clones

Future Mothers

2 dwarf jack herers ... all jack herers were sprouted at the same time... note the one with the plastic straps on the right ..one used to hold it up and one used as a brace lol. The bigger one is actually gaining ground...so i may put it in the tent soon ..or transfer it outside.

 

[NuhNugz]

i guess journal grows aren't really interesting until assloads of flowers appear

Flowering: Day 18

So ..heres more photos ... Im starting to tie down the soon to be colas ..training them slowly

GodBud

So there are my photos from yesterday. I guess Ill keep slowly bending those young colas over. The next step will be to lower my tray and get a new less-tall res like the panda.

Maybe Mike @ growledhydro can loan me another 600watter lol ... from what i can tell im gonna have a shitton of buds if i can keep them situated.

Looking good ...! Rep to ya...

Thanks! Being I've never grown indoors before I think it looks good too ...even though I have nothing to compare it to.

I will say this blue fruit plant would be a monster outside.

 

[NuhNugz]

changed 25gallon res today as follows:
CalMag Plus 1cup
Liquid Karma 3 1/4 cups (up 1/4 cup from last res change)
Pro Bloom 3 1/4 cups (up 1/4 cup from last res change)
Sweet 1.5 cups
Pro Gro 3 1/4 cups (up 1/4 cup from last res change)
Great White Powder 10 cups (tiny cup included)
Bloombastic 15 teaspoons (up 4 teaspoons from last res change)
B Thrive Alive 25ml
PH Up 150ml -6.0PH (up 20ml from last res change)
Silica Blast 15 teaspoons (new addition)

Diesel and white widow clones are really taking off. Need to get them outside soon. Weather is finally quite favorable.

Btw ... is Fox Farm ocean forest a good medium for outside plants? If not ..care to recommend one? Where these are going they will be left to fend for themselves for extended periods...

Lastly ..think Im going to use the yellow bottle nutes (bloom) next go round with the aeroflo2.

Your plants look great! That's much more nute than I use, do you know what your ppm are?

 

[NuhNugz]

ppm is up there im sure. To be honest .. i dont know how to properly read my meter ... but its 1.8 or 1.9 before I add bloombastic or great white generally (the clay in the bloombastic and great white add a significant portion). I think that means 1800-1900. This time its 2.0. The ro water is 10ppm.

The plants seem to love it ... i keep slowly adding more ... and will continue to add until i begin to see nute burn... which i haven't yet.

I also spray the plants a few times a week with a full strength mixture of RO water/ Dutchmaster Penetrator and Liquid Light with Thrive Alive Red.

I make 25 gallons of the nutrients in a separate res and PH it to 6.0. I then feed my girls by hand for a day or 2 before changing out the previous res to make sure they don't burn... and obviously they havent yet which shows in the vigor of my ladies.

Even my clones are starting to grow leaps and bounds lol. Im really digging this LED.

Plants look great! I use the same nutes as you. My mix is as follows:
I run this nutrient formula for vegetative growth:

Botanicare Nutrients:
126ML Cal-Mag Plus
180ML Liquid Karma
540ML Pure Bend Pro Vegetative Formula

I mix this in a milk jug with water. As you can see the amounts are a lot less than what you are using. I have 18 gals in my res and when I use half of the jug in the res I'm at 1400ppm? SO you gotta be up there as far asppms go. But the plants don't look burnt. You gonna go through those nutes real quick. Good Luck!!

Well ... i burned the shit out of my hash plant ... odd none of the others show burn at all ... then again I didn't take any clones from it either. I read somewhere that it doesn't really like nutes.

Ive backed down to my 2nd to last recipe.

I also noticed the PH was down to 5.3 ..which could have played a factor ... or I also added Silica Blast... or even worse ... my g/f hit the hot water side of the faucet when i was running the RO unit to my res... and it was quite warm ... so any of those could have thrown the nute mixture way off.

Im guessing the hot water effed up the nutes ... but i dunno ..odd none of the other ladies showed any burn or adverse effect.

Anyway ... I guess this is what its all about when dialing in a setup. Im learning the limits of the plants.

Note: The diesel must be a strong breed ...its just as happy as ever lol... says mmmm more plz.

Flowering: Day 27

You can see the burn on the hash plant... its pulling out of it though ... a week of half strength nutes after 3 days of flush and its back on track.

I misread liquid karma ... thought it said 2 tablespoons per gallon ... actually its 2 teaspoons ..oops lol.

The diesel smells like axle grease heh. Jack Herer in the front is really stretching.

This below picture is one of many Diesel buds ... you can't tell from the photo, but its as fat as my fist! Like i said previously ... I came home and all i could smell was axle grease and couldn't figure out what it was until I opened the tent and WOW lol.

 

[GrowLEDHydro]

Looking pretty damn good.. I am really looking forward to the final weeks on this one..

 

[NuhNugz]

i do too. To be honest..i dont know if these look good ..or great..or just ok. These are starting to swell though and figuring i have at least 30 days of flowering left I should end up with some monsters...

the blue fruit and blue hash smell wonderful, but are overpowered by the diesel. Godbud smells ... yumyum.... all are getting gooey and sticky.

my mothers are steady growing as well ... and have decided to use 12 or 16 bubblebuckets instead of the aero unit this next go round only because it looks much more promising.

some plants take longer then other to really flower, look at my jack herer cross it took forever and then the last few weeks it just got mad weight and all the branches fell over. and you have a jack herer so its just a late bloomer maybe? how close is ur light? looks like you have some good nute burn? is she doing allot better now?

as far a DWC its one of the best ways to do hydro IMO. areo is good but its all depends on ur growing skills, its allot more touchy thats why i never used it. too many thing to go wrong when i leave town.

 

[NuhNugz]

yeah i misread the liquid karma ... my eyes are bad..iwas blazed and thought it said 2-3tbs per gallon lol ... actually was 2-3 tsp oops .... i worked it out ...its thriving now. oddly the diesel, jack herer, and white widow showed no adverse effects ..and the diesel actually exploaded (wonder if its the chemdawg lineage?).

FYI: Sensi said they would not make good on their beans because im in the states ... eff them. Ill never use their beans again ...and will trash sensi until i die. I told them that they have disgraced Jack Herer putting his name on beans where only 1 female out of 5 seeds that germinated out of 10 ... 2 dwarfs .. 2 males.

 

[go green]

Very nice work up in here...very nice.

+reps.
