LandoC Grows Everything He Can: Sequentially Perpetually

[Rexer]

Oh...I forgot to mention the Roots! They deserve a mention this round! The Blue Cheese Roots grew thru the drainage hose into the run off reservoir...the buds were ridiculously dense, now I know why! They were super sucking nutrients!
The way the net pots are in the buckets seem to really help root growth...I will add some pics and a video? They engulfed the net pots! I added a few things to help stimulate root growth, I think it worked?

Beautiful harvest once again! You've got your grows down to an art.

Want to hear something funny? I was just about to message you and ask if you had roots get into the runoff pump. I just had to remove the drain pipe less then an hr ago and it was packed with roots, I'll have to remove and check the other pipes another night.

I will need to format the video? Maybe no video? I will try to load it? Hmmm

You'll have to host on YouTube and give the link, the forum won't let you save any videos.

I hope everyone is growing some amazingly dank weeds! I have been away for awhile, no time for growing in the heat of the grow garage. I’m thinking 2 tents 4-5 plants, one strain this time...Tart Pops by In House Genetics, I’ve heard some good things. Canna Coco 80/20...ish with perlite, some clay balls on the bottom...top feed, drain to waste, Bucket Company 3G buckets...will potentially feed up to 5 times a day when I hit flower...PH 5.8-6.2 sticking around 6.0 for the majority of the grow...not sure yet if I will scrog, or grow naturally this time? I may try for the stress free round, as the In House genetics supposedly herm easily? This is my first time with IHG gear, turns out the rep is a local guy for me...he hooked me UP!
I like the sound of the Skunk x Tangie x Zkittlez x Purple Punch! A few tests I’ve seen came back over 30% thc and over 2% terpenes...I hope they germinate! They have been in the fridge for a spell!
I’m also thinking about supplemental UV and Far Red in one tent for a comparison...talking to @Elevated Lighting Company, which will supplement a 500watt full spectrum. Which I have had great luck with so far!

back on the track.. welcome back !
here it goes ..

 

[Rexer]

Welcome back brother, looking forward to this- sounds like some wicked Genetics

 

[LandoC]

Thanks fellas! @bluter @Rexer
It’s good to be back, It will be nice to have some beautiful plants growing again!
Here it goes indeed! I will have to get caught up on what’s growing on here!

Good morning peoples...4 of 5 seeds grew tails, they got planted into jiffy pots last night. Hopefully we get some open cotyledons very soon! All 4 looked strong and healthy...all I really need is 4 plants for 2 tents(4x4’s).

Awesome stuff, did the Zkittlez cross pop up? You got me excited for seeing that one!

 

[LandoC]

Yes...it’s (Zkittlez X Tangie X Skunk) X Purple Punch. I’m a skunk fan, the skunk lineage runs deep in these crosses! I’m hoping for some old school rubber funk to appear!

Good evening 420 people...I hope everyone is enjoying Covid still? Holy Buddha let’s finish this shit...
Anyways...5/5 tart pops popped, all have turned into mini weeds. 2 really seemed to show some vigour, a certain zest for life, a willingness to grow into some fine specimens of which will produce many large flowers...well maybe some medium nugs anyways? I don’t think In House is known for heavy weighted harvests, frosty as you know what, for sure!
So on that note, I decided to germinate 3 “Smackin” also from In House G and 2 GG4 from Canuk seeds. The heartiest 3 will be chosen to enter one of the Gorilla Tents “realms of the sun” and live out a fruitful life with plenty of UV, and far red...oh yea I’d better order the supplementals, for that experiment in 10% more terpenes/cannabanoids! Hopefully it works, that could make make some super tasty flower rosin!
It looks like I maybe doing 6 plants in 2 tents now, oops. That could equate to around 2lbs of smokable flower? Without scrogging is 2lbs plus possible, growing 6 plants naturally, no topping?
I’d better be on point, watching the PH, PPM, VPD, DTW, FTW...steadily bumping up the feeds, I wanna push them, but no stress! Sensamilia mon!
I just smoked some Cookies and Cream, I tried some auto flowers over the summer. An easy grow in soil, as I wasn’t home often to tend to them...3 full jars that just hit 62%RH. I mixed in some homemade Bruce Banner/ Blue Cheese Bubble Hash, that also happens to be dry...a good potent smoke! I need a glass of water fo sho...I also pressed out 5.5 grams of the bubble into about 2.2 grams of fresh rosin...Edabs @ 606 degrees coming up shortly also.

Must've been pretty good, haven't seen you for days . Sure as hell looks and sounds damn fine.

Hey fella hope you’re well! It was really good…also got busy with work, it always seems to get in the way!
I’ve been enjoying the GSC X BB3 from 2 harvests ago, it’s a really energetic, feel real good high! It seems like a pain killer kinda high! Heading over later for a catch up, see you soon, enjoy the day!

Time for a little Saturday update…all 10 seeds have germinated, we have some green! Tart Pops have at least 1 that will make the cut? Such different rates of growth for 5 seeds that all had the same size tails when planted. I had high hopes for the tart pops, I’m an old school skunk fan…tart pops could show some skunky traits, there is a lot of skunk lineage in this strain!
For the next 5, they look pretty strong so far! 3 of In House’s sMACkin, and 2 Canuk GG4 are in contention for some tent space…I do like the flavours of GG4! Maybe 1 tart pops, 2 gg4 in one 4x4, and 3 sMACkin in the other? Whichever shows the most vigour is what makes the cut.
I have ordered the supplemental UV/FarRed from @Elevated Lighting Company…i would like to do a comparison, but am tempted to just order another and run in both tents? See how much frost we can create inside a tent?
Waiting on some irrigation parts from The Bucket Company to arrive, I can then complete the 2nd tent…hopefully next weekend the reservoir is top feeding, and the semi automation starts.

 

[Rexer]

All good brother, I just couldn't resist, that bubble hash looked damn good though. I'm still enjoying the bottom of my last harvest, nice mellow, melt into the chair kind of feeling.

Plants are off to a great start!

Things are slowly happening in the tents…i have received everything I need for 2 fully functional tents.
The Far Red and UV supplemental from @Elevated Lighting Company is in, it’s made for the demon light they make…I installed mine under the 500 watt full spectrum. Maybe I’ll get a demon some day? It will go on 2 separate timers, one for UV, one for far red…UV will go on full time in flower, far red will be something like 3 hours at lights on, 3 hours at lights off? With a possible 15 minute overlap from dark to light? only one tent gets the supplemental for now, perhaps next grow its demon board with a supplemental…I still need to run the power, and find a home for the ballast.

The Tart Pops are at day 13 since sprout…one is growing like a fiend! Side branching is in full swing…they will get a transplant into the 3 gallon buckets either today or Saturday. The 4th node is forming already on 2 of the strongest tart pops.
sMACkin and GG4 are doing well, it could be difficult to pick 4/5…I will like do 3 sMACkin, and 1 GG4? I have been looking forward to growing out some In House seeds, they can get pretty frosty it seems. These 5 are in smaller 1st pots, they should also get a transplant this weekend…they are at 9 days now, probably ready by Sunday?

I will also need to mix a stronger nutrient solution soon, 310ppm, PH 6.1, 68-69f is where it sits no….375-400 is the next stop in strength levels…PH closer to 6.0 now too.

 

[LandoC]

15 days old today…it was a big day moving into 3 gallon buckets, getting extra photons, and a bump in ppm to 410, 6.1 ph, 68-69 f nutrient temperature. Bigger plants feed 2x a day, little fellas only once at lights on so far, maybe tomorrow they start 2x a day regimen. Feed until run off, maybe 150-200 mls each.
I have added 130 additional watts of budget led full spectrum, and the 50 far red/uva…tent 1 is up to 680 watts of available power @ 3 plants that’s almost 230 watts for each plant.
Which was so inspiring, I did some ordering for tent 2…when it’s all done #2 will have 710 watts of power including another 50 of supplemental. My experiment with far red/uva is out the window already?
Why not grow 2 tents full of frostiness? The pictures and words telling tales of In House Genetics, with the frostiest, stickiest, terpiest looking goodness. I would like some of that please…
As for the other 4, a friend is adding them to his garden…he gets 2 tart pops, and 2 gg4, or that’s what I’m thinking? Now that I type it out, I love GG4 maybe I need to grow out a gg4? not a real gg though, a Canuk seeds rendition of it…the flavour of the gg is pretty darn fine though…hmmm? Choices we are forced to make with small tents growing large plants. I think 2 large Malawis could be fun next round, 1 in each tent…1 Malawi, and 1 landrace potent as hell sativa? Again choices i‘m forced to make…

Far Red comes on for 1 hour 18 minutes at the beginning and end of day…18 minutes in the dark phase, 1 hour with the lights on. I will extend the duration at some undetermined point in time, after the transplant has taken root. In coco with root tonic should be by tomorrow? I have been warned to watch cal mag and nitrogen deficiency with added far red, photosynthesis stimulation takes extra energy.

This grow rant was inspired by Blue Cheese from last winters harvest…which is turning out to be some fire with a few months in the jars now. The flavours are something else! It reminds me of juicy fruit gum, very nice smoke…super dense buds! No topping done with the Blue Cheese, just standard pruning…

 

[LandoC]

Tart pops 19 days
sMACkin’ 16 days
Things are getting underway now, everybody‘s in forever homes now. Tent 1 is fully operational, top Feed is feeding, drain to waste is draining! Ppm steady at 380, PH 6.0-6.1, nutrient solution 68-69 F….feeding at 40 seconds now twice daily…will see what happens at that length for now. Dressed in some Hydroton on top for a little better h20 distribution. I sure love it when they take off…one is a little stretchy, lights got a rejigg hopefully a few more thousand LUX will help her out? The light distribution is a bit better now, I had to turn the 500 watters 90 degrees…I should have seen that one from the start, it just wasn’t working out. A rectangular light in a square tent, one has to account for plant arrangement right? Anyways one tent is sorted, waiting on more lumens to correct tent #2 @Elevated Lighting Company is hooking me up, hopefully it ships tomorrow.
Mo light, Mo bud!
No bud pics yet, but here’s how it’s shaking out so far. Peace 420!

Beautiful setup and nice job, those girls look perfectly healthy. I love how neat your res area is

 

[LandoC]

Happy Saturday @Rexer! I hope all is well in your world my friend! I get a little OCD about keeping the grow room organized, and neat. Constantly refining the process, probably tweaking to much.

 

[Rexer]

Happy Saturday brother
Ain't nothing wrong with that, looks amazing, neat and well organized. Kinda makes me wanna get mine a bit more organized
