ISearch56 is Learning with Bag Seeds on the First Grow 2013

[ISEARCH56]

. . . GREEN GREETINGS TO ALL @

FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY@ FOR PROVIDING THIS PLATFORM TO LEARN AND GIVING YOU, ME AND ALL OF US, A COMMUNITY WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO SHARE WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE.

KINGJOHNC + REPS. . . . FOR ALL THE HELP I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU INVESTED IN MY LEARNING.

I'VE TAKE ON ALOT @ ONCE NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING AND I HAVE NEGLECTED MY JOURNALS. I'LL TRY TO BRING THIS JOURNAL UP TO DATE

I will post my PMs to finish this Journal.......

Thank you KJC, You just MADE MY HOLE MONTH. Please bear with me let me get it straight. I can not mention e**y, A****n, G****e or L****y.com in my Journal or in post that I make on an another Members Journal. Now these sites maybe talk about in PMs?
If and when I share these conversations about my Plants/My Grow I will EDIT each and every post so that I do not Violate any of the 420MAG RULES.
KJC I know you use general hydroponics.
Do you know anything about Advanced Nutrients?
I use Jungle Juice do I need to buy everything on the nutrient chart to flower my ladies?

Thank You

THIS IS A POST BY KINGJOHNC

I have not seen any restriction except for genetics trading and violence towards other members that are not allowed to be written about in personal messages. When I first started growing I had considered using Advanced Nutrients products but when I added the very high cost of all their supplements into the equation to grow with their system of nutrients they were no longer in consideration. Jungle Juice is Advanced Nutrients low cost way of introducing consumers to all the required supplements. If you wanted to use supplements with your Jungle Juice I would use General Hydroponics Liquid KoolBloom, General Hydroponics KoolBloom Dry and Humboldt County's Own Snow Storm Ultra.

Thank you kindly!

post by kjc

by genetics trading i mean trading seeds/cuttings/clones/cannabis. Yes you can use all 3 of the products i listed with jungle juice but not all at the same time. Liquid koolbloom and koolbloom dry are potassium and phosphate flowering supplements. Liquid koolbloom is used from the time you switch to 12/12 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness until the last few weeks where koolbloom dry is used instead. Snow storm ultra is used as a foliar feed at 1 millilitre per litre/quart from the time you switch to 12/12 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness until the last 2 weeks of flower. You can see how well all 3 are working in my kingjohnc's and labexperiment's brainstorm haze grow journal. Yes you can take another cutting from your plant if you wish to, depending how many cuttings you take you may be able to switch to flowering right away or need to give your plant additional time to recover. If you take many cuttings you may want to give your plant 7-10 days to recover before flowering your plant.

GREEN GREETINGS KJC

I'm Trying to figure out Linda's feeding in flower. I use the " NON PH PERFECT NUTRIENT from Advanced Nutrients"

This chart is 1 gallon for (Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Light Feeding )

I can choose
Plus Program Bloom-Light Feeding
Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Light Feeding
Plus Program Bloom-Medium feeding
Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Heavy Feeding
Plus Program Bloom-Heavy Feeding


I chose Moderately Light Feeding for the first feeding.
KJC What do You Think?
ps. I haven't feed Linda yet. Please Help

I got her on 12/12 from 10pm - 10am

Thank You KJC You've been CARRYING ME AND MY GROW


. . . . . . . . . . KJC

Start with the Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Light Feeding and watch your plant for signs of nutrient burns as yellow and brown tips on the fan leaves.

Thank You KJC

I am glad I could help you!

KJC

 

[ISEARCH56]

KJC, I forgot to ask you if what I'm going to do is ok.
Mix 1 gallon with the feeding chart says for the Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Light Feeding and feed "Linda the whole gallon.
Right?

POST BY KJC

You will only need to water as needed, I water my 5 gallon size pots with 1 gallon of nutrient mixture.


Cool I just did that, I put 1 gallon+ the nutes
KJC do you use plain ph adjusted water every other time?
Feed, water, feed, water?
I have Linda in a 13 gallon trash bin. In the veg. stage I have fed Linda 2 gallons of a "hot nute mix" that I had diluted. With 2 gallons I get a little run off.

KJC do you think I can feed 2 gallons of the Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Light Feeding?



Green Morning KJC
I thought I had sent this reply the some day. . . . I would (log on and check the "User CP" to see if I had any Notifications, I had none. I was going to ask you about a Humidifier that doesn't have a light on it.

Reps . . . . To The Person That Thought About The AUTO-SAVE.

POST BY KJC

I use nutrients every time I water unless I am flushing. With 13 gallons of a soil mixture I believe you can water with 2 gallons of nutrient mixture. You can use a piece of aluminum foil tape to cover the light on the humidifier.

https://www.walmart.com Duck HVAC Metal Repair Aluminum Foil Tape


Nice that's what I did for "THE BOX" . .

KJC do you use nutrients you water in veg. or in flower or both?
I feed "Linda" with 1 gallon on 4-3-14 and the soil is a little dry, KJC do you think that I can water/feed more than one time in a week without any nute burn?


Greed morning KJC
I did it again I thought I had sent this reply.

POST BY KJC

I use nutrient in vegetative growth and in flowering to enhance the rate of growth and meet the demands of the plants. I believe with 13 gallons of soil you could water with 2 gallons of a nutrient mixture. The rate that your plants can uptake nutrients depends on the size of the plant and the root mass, with the size of your plant I do not believe you should have nutrient burn with feeding the Plus Program Bloom-Moderately Light Feeding but monitor the tips of the leaves for any yellowing or browning as this is a sign of nutrient burn. The rate that your plant uses nutrients and water and requires watering again is an individual thing. If you believe the soil is dry and requires watering again you should stick your finger 2" into the soil and feel how moist it is, you can also use an inexpensive moisture meter to check how moist the soil is deeper in the soil.

KJC THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME !_!

You are welcome! I am glad I could help you!

THANKS TO TheCapn
EACH PLANT HAS HER OWN RESERVOIR AND A Bloom Brothers - Hydro Halo Water Ring.
KJC PLEASE LTE ME KNOW IS THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I NEED TO CHANGE TO BE MORE EFFICIENT

I'M WORRIED THAT BECAUSE I HAVE THE CUTTINGS IN THE VEG ROOM WITH THE 1000 WATTS THEY'LL TAKE LONGER TO ROOT. I HAVE ALL THE CUTTINGS TO THE SIDE SO THEY DON'T GET DIRECT LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE INTENSE LIGHT PROMOTES VEGETATIVE GROW, WHERE CFL's AND T5's HELP PROMOTE ROOT GROW FOR CUTTINGS AND SEEDLINGS.

KJC WHATS YOUR OPINION?

6 PLANTS 5 ARE Linda's BABYs IN CROUTONS. . . . + #4 IN DIRT

THE DAKINI KUSH AND WAIPI'O HAPA SEEDLING IN "THE BOX"

I TURNED OFF SOME OF THE BULBS I THOUGHT 12X 19WATTS WAS TO MUCH FOR THE SEEDLINGS

POST BY KJC

Is your 1000 watt light a Metal Halide or a High Pressure Sodium light bulb? While your cuttings are getting indirect light a dedicated set of T5 High Output Florescent lights for them would be better.

 

[ISEARCH56]

I bought a "Ultra Sun MH 1000 Watt Blue Enhanced Lamp 7,500 Kelvin" as you suggested . . . .
I'm using the super lumen feature . .

The seedlings are leggy/stretched, how many nodes should the seedlings have before I repot threm?
Do I bury them up to the first set of leaves/ the cotyledons?

I'll take more pictures so that way you can have a better look. .

POST BY KJC

If your seedlings are stretching as bad as they are you should bury the seedlings deeper when you transplant. The seedlings would definitely benefit from a dedicated light source. Transplant now! I would transplant normally transplant when the seedlings have 4-5 inches of growth.

 

[ISEARCH56]

KJC PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR THE AVALANCHE OF PICTURES. .

OUT OF 14 SEEDS WE HAVE 11 SEEDLINGS, I KNOW I MESSED UP BY STACKING THE TRAYS !_!

I FOUND I BUG THAT LOOKS LIKE A ROLLIE POLLIE

Ps. THEY LOOK NICE TODAY, I HAVE THEM UNDER 24/7 LIGHT.
I THINK THE SEEDLINGS WIL BE UNDER 24/7 FOR ANOTHER WEEK.
FOR A TOTAL OF 2 WEEKS.
PLEASE YOUR OPINION SIR...

POST BY KJC

Is there any reason why you wish to keep your seedlings with 24/7 lighting?

I KEEP THE SEEDING IN 24/7 LIGHTING BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE AROUND ME BE DOING + I HAVE PLANTS THAT ARE UNDER METAL HALIDE 24/7. I KNOW YOU'VE SAID THAT THERE'S RESEARCH THAT SHOW THAT PLANTS DO BETTER WITH A DARK PERIOD.....
BUT FOR NOW I CANNOT ARGUE WITH THE RESULTS . .

GREEN AFTERNOON KJC

THINGS ARE LOOKING REAL GOOD THANKS TO ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE INVESTED IN MY FRIEND AND IN MY GROW. . . .



COULD THIS BE EARLY SIGNS OF A FEMALE?
THIS IS #4 . . . .

MY GREENNESS REGARDS ISEARCH56

POST BY KJC

I do not yet see any white pistils emerging from the calyxes to determine it is a female, I believe it is too early to sex your plant.

 

[ISEARCH56]

GREAT EVENING KJC
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION SHOULD I USE THE BLACK #1 POT OR THE SMALLER POT?

POST BY KJC

I would use the 1 gallon size pot.

 

[ISEARCH56]

THANK YOU KJC

SHOULD I BURY THE SEEDLINGS UP TO THE FIRST SET OF LEAVES ( THE COTYLEDON )?

POST BY KJC

I would bury the seedlings just below the cotyledon leaves.

 

[ISEARCH56]

THANK YOU KJC I A APPRECIATE YOUR TIME + REPS . .
FOR GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY . . . . FOR EVERYBODY @


GREAT GREEN AFTERNOON KJC

I'VE BEEN A LITTLE BUSY WITH THE 11 SEEDLINGS, 30 CUTTINGS, 5 CLONES, #4 AND OF COURSE Linda

KJC THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE INVESTED IN MY LEARNING/ GROW

+ REPS . . . . .

HERE'S SOME PICTURES OF THE ONE AND ONLY Linda>>>>>

I TIED HER DOWN AGAIN AND I'VE BEEN TAKING OFF 3-5 FAN LEAVES A DAY. I READ IN A FEW THREADS THAT AFTER THE FIRST 21 DAYS "STRETCHING PERIOD" IS OVER A HEAVY DEFOLIATION IS OK.

KJC WHATS YOUR OPINION ON THE HEAVY DEFOLIATION?

I PUT Linda TO FLOWER ON Thursday 3-27-14 @ 10AM LIGHTS OUT @ 10PM LIGHTS ON.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT EVERY FRIDAY MORNING IT'S A WEEK
3-28-14 / 4-4-14 IS WEEK #1
4-11-14 WEEK 2
4-18-14 WEEK 3
4-25-14 WEEK 4
5-2-14 WEEK 5
5-9-14 WEEK 6
5-16-14 WEEK 7
5-23-14 WEEK 8
5-30-14 WEEK 9
6-6-14 WEEK 10
AM I DOING THE CALENDAR THE RIGHT WAY?

POST BY KJC

I would defoliate any leaves and vegetation under your SCroG screen at day 21-25 of flower when the stretch phase has ended, I would also remove any fan leaves that are shading bud sites. I defoliate in flower at day 21-25 of flower when the stretch phase has ended and again at day 45 if needed. You are counting your flowering days correctly.

 

[ISEARCH56]

THANK YOU KJC
I'LL BE BUSY THIS WEEKEND. . . . .
I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SCroG screen SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M WORKING WITH AND THAT WAY YOU CAN BETTER ADVISED ME. .
I ALSO WAS THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A SECOND SCroG screen 8" ABOVE THE FIRST SECOND SCroG screen LIKE A DOUBLE DECKER. . . .
KJC WHATS YOUR OPINION ON THAT?

THANK YOU KJC,
I STILL HAVE 420 MORE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU. . . . . . . . . . . .

MY GREENNESS REGARDS ISEARCH56

POST BY KJC

I believe that adding a second screen would only be of benefit if it supported the larger size colas that your plant will produce. I do not believe a second screen would be of much benefit and complicate your SCroG process.

 

[ISEARCH56]

KJC, THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME WITH THE FEEDING PROCESS AND UNDERSTANDING, HOW IT'S A PERSONAL THING (EACH GROWER KNOWS OR SHOULD KNOW HOW TO TALK AND LISTEN TO THERE LADIES/PLANTS. . . .

I WAS FEEDING Linda WITH A GALLON AND SHE'S IN A 13 GALLON TRASH BIN THAT YOU HELPED PICK OUT OFF BIN I HAD LAYING AROUND THE HOUSE

KJC A FEW DAYS AFTER YOU SUGGESTED THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO FEED WITH 2 GALLONS, I DID AND I GOT A LITTLE RUN OFF. . .

ON 4-12-14 @ 12:30AM I INCREASED Linda's NUTES TO THE FIRST WEEK OF lus Program Bloom- Medium Feeding. . .

SHE LOVED IT I USED 2 GALLONS FOR THE SECOND TIME
MY RUN OFF WAS SLOW, WHEN I CHECKED BEFORE LIGHTS OUT THE RUN OFF WAS A LITTLE MORE.

INSTEAD OF CONTINUING WITH THE lus Program Bloom- Medium Feeding.

ON 4-15-14 @ 2 AM I INCREASED Linda's NUTES TO THE FIRST WEEK OF lus Program Bloom- Medium Feeding, THE'R NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THE: Plus Program Bloom- Medium Feeding AND THE SECOND WEEK OF THE lus Program Bloom-Moderately Heavy Feeding

I USED 2 GALLON THIS TIME AND THE RUN OF WAS A A LITTLE MORE. .

AS OFF 4-16-14 I'M USING THE lus Program Bloom- Medium Feeding CHART'S WEEK 2. . .
I GO BUY THE "PPM" SINCE I'M ALWAYS ADDING SOMETHING TO THE NUTES . . .

KJC WHAT DO YOU THINK?
CAN I REUSED THE RUN OFF/ AFTER I ADJUST THE PH?

POST BY KJC

I would not reuse any runoff nutrients.

 

[ISEARCH56]

GREEN EVENING KJC
TODAY IS DAY 22 OF FLOWER . . . . .

MY QUESTION IS: WHAT CAN I DO WITH THE LEAVES THAT I REMOVE?
I KNOW YOU SAID THAT I CAN MAKE A JUICE OR SMOOTHIE OUT OF THE LEAVES I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER @ THIS MOMENT.

HOW DO I STORE THE LEAVES WITHOUT THEM DRYING UP OR GETTING MOLD?

I'M STARTING THE DEFOLIATION ON . . . .

KJC DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES THAT I MAY USE AS A REFERENCE?

POST BY KJC

You can juice the leaves that are either taken from the plants in vegetative growth or in early flower. You can freeze the leaves to extend their life in storage. You may use either my KingJohnC 400 Watt LA Confidential Seed Cabinet Soil Indoor Grow Journal or my KingJohnC's and Labexperiment's Brainstorm Haze Grow Journal as a reference on how much to defoliate in early flower.
