UPDATE: 18 DAYS IN FLOWER


I fed them last night. 2 Gallons. Each gallon contained


3tsp GROW
4tsp BLOOM
1tsp BIG BLOOMIN GUANO
1/2tsp MICROBLAST
1 1/2tsp CALMAG
1 1/2tsp CATALYST
1/4tsp MAMMOTH P
1tsp PROTEKT
1/4tsp META-K
1tsp TERPENEZ


I did the same as I have been doing. Which is I make the nutes at a tad bit lower strength than I plan on using. Leaving it a couple tsps shy of grow and a couple of tsps of bloom so I can add right before I feed to drop the PH back down to 6.5


Here are some pics from last night

CLONE


I watered her last night. She seems to have slowed growth for right now but thats ok. Im in no hurry for her. I was going to transplant her last night but couldnt remember how long shes been in this pot. I will have to go back and look. But I havent been keeping the best of journals so IDK...When the soil dries, I will transplant her.




BABIES

I am going to do their own Journal I think, For better references and research later. I grew a Delicious Candy under CFLs a while back but threw it in with another journal I was doing. I wish it had its own. ANYWAY Ill start here and then leave you all a link in case you would like to follow it too.




OK...I have all 4 babies above ground now. Here is the list for next grow



SUPER SKUNK

FLOWER- 7-9 WEEKS


A predominantly indica variety, Super Skunk takes its robust flowers from its parent strain Skunk #1. By backcrossing the legendary Skunk with Afghani genetics, Sensi Seeds created a strain with dense, thick buds that are known to be extremely pungent with a surprisingly sweet taste. This strain produces a bold relaxing effect over the body and is a great answer for increased stress and body pains...




SOUR DIESEL

FLOWER - 10-12

Sour Diesel, sometimes called Sour D, is an invigorating sativa-dominant strain named after its pungent, diesel-like aroma. This fast-acting strain delivers energizing, dreamy cerebral effects that have pushed Sour Diesel to its legendary status. Stress, pain, and depression fade away in long-lasting relief that makes Sour Diesel a top choice among medical patients. This strain took root in the early 90's, and it is believed to have descended from Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk.




Critical Kush


Critical Kush from Barney’s Farm is a mostly indica strain that blends together two famed cannabis staples, Critical Mass and OG Kush. Aromatic notes of earthiness and spice usher in a calming sensation that relaxes the mind and body. Critical Kush pairs a staggeringly high THC content with a moderate dose of CBD, making this strain a perfect nighttime medication for pain, stress, insomnia, and muscle spasms. Growers cultivating this strain indoors will wait 50 to 60 days for Critical Kush to complete its flowering cycle.

Type: Indica
genetics: Critical Mass X O.G. Kush
Yield: 650gr/m2
Height: 110cm
Flower time: 55-60 days
Harvest time: End September
THC: 25%
CBD: 1.8%






Pakistan Valley


Pakistan Valley Kush is a pure indica landrace strain from the Hindu Kush mountain range. This bushy plant grows squat and resilient, exhibiting deep colors and earthy, floral aromas. Offering heavy sedative effects, this hardy bud relieves pain and saddles the consumer with long-lasting relaxation. This rare landrace is an evening-preferred strain unless the consumer is planning a day in bed or on the couch. Utilize Pakistan Valley Kush to curb physical pain, nausea, restlessness, headaches, and more.

I dont mind at all. Another pair of eyes are always valued. I am actually trying this one a little different than the last Manifold grow I did. Which I was pretty happy with. But for this one. I didnt cut everything below the ring. I let them grow. Which is why the FP (back right) doesnt really have an open center. Its filled with the lower buds that have risen up to join the party. Last time I pretty much cut everything below the ring and cut anything that wasnt close to the stalk. (for the most part) Im not sure which method is best. But for manicuring purposes, I would say the way I did it last time would be better. IDK. I feel I can get similar results by bending the plant over. Spreading all the branches out until you have a nice circle, and then let it grow straight up. I did a CFL grow that way. And it look in the end kinda like a manifolded plant.

My last manifold

I would have to go back and look to be sure but I think the bent over method I vegged for 30 days...And I got a little over 2zzs. I veg the Manifold method about 60 days. And get about 3zzs... IDK something for me to thing about. I will say the manifold is the easiest. When you lay one over, you are constantly trying to find places for branches to go and everyday adjusting. Manifolding is more of a few cut a few times and keeping the branches pulled back. Anyway I am rambling so

Hmmm, that's really interesting. I wonder if the lower buds filling up the middle will give you a good amount. Any weed is good weed though right!? Did you do that grow all under CFL? Those are all beautiful plants!! I'm definitely going to give manifolding a try. My little ones have just barely broken soil, so I have a little time to go lol.

My first grow was a manifold style, i like it!

UPDATE: 26 DAYS IN FLOWER


The last updates "days in flower" is wrong. I flipped on a Monday. So its been 26 Days in flower.


I made my nutes last night. I made 2 gallons. Each gallon contained



3tsp GROW
4tsp BLOOM
1tsp BIG BLOOMIN GUANO
1tsp CATALYST
1tsp MICROBLAST
1tsp TERPENEZ
1tsp PROTEKT
1/4tsp MAMMOTH P
1 1/2tsp CALMAG



As mentioned in a previous post. I ran out of Earth Juice Grow. And have been using Roots Organic Buddah Grow... Im not sure how I feel about it. It seems my girls are needing N. Granted, it could be something else. But my hunch is a lack of N....But that shouldnt be the case as I have been giving plenty of Grow. So either that Buddah Grow isnt all that great...they all are N hungry...or theres something else. Sooo I of course start racing thoughts in my head. I need some Earth Juice, But cant really afford it and dont have the time to waste waiting on it. Plus its to the point in the grow where I shouldnt need much N anymore. I wanna feed it with one more strong Grow mix. ( of course at the time I was going of the info of it being less than 3 weeks in flower. So I assumed they were still in stretch. )
So I happen to look down and see 3 gallon jugs of nutes. I remember 2 of them. Bloom and Hi-Brix...I look at the 3rd, and I have a whole gallon of EJ Grow not open. I guess I bought it before I started this grow to be prepared. I wish I would have known. I would have never used the Roots Organic. Im a creature of habbit.




Just some side notes that I dont mention. The bubbling process is a pain in the ass. Every time I have to take my air stones, And take another airstone not in use, and grind it on the used one because a layer of grim from the nutes have formed on it. And it dramatically slows air flow. But it does bring the PH up. But its a huge pain in the ass. I mean its a whole thing on its own. I wish I would have started with synthetics. Like Fox Farm. It seems it would have been easier. But hey,, the grass is always greener on the other side I guess.

I lowered the light just a tad. A tad being about an inch. I will move it another inch tonight or so. I want to ease it down to about 18-22" right now its at 24"

I also raised the CD up level with the rest. Here are some pics

If you want updates on the babies, they now have their own GJ. Heres the link

THINKING OUT LOUD

So Iv been thinking of cycling thru all my photos, or at least thru most of them, and then eventually switching over to Autos. Iv added up the time it takes to do each. Giving Autos 70 days and photos 110 In the Manifold method, Keeping in mind im not thinking whats best for everyone. Im thinking whats best for what I have and am doing. It seems that I could get about 4 grows in before the heat sets in and I have to stop for the summer. Maybe even 5 but I only need 24zzs for the year. At 2zzs a plant growing 5 per grow, thats plenty of smoke. And that is using only 1 tent and 1 light.
Photos Doing the manifold, I can only get 2 grows without other tent and light...3 using both. Probably could get 4 but the last would be a little airy due to heat. So 3...At (if I do good) 3zzs a plant, 4 plants a grow. Thats 12zzs a grow, giving 36 zzs for the year as appose to 40 with Autos.
Of course I COULD stop doing the manifold. And instead, fold over, spread out, and veg for 4 weeks and flip the switch. Probably get about 2zzs maybe 3 off some good ones. IDK

Theres more options in the photo department. I like trying all these different strains I would NEVER get to try if I dont grow them. What do you guys think??

I know I probably shouldnt be giving them so much GROW but my leafs are turning yellow and I cant seem to stop it. We are 5 weeks in now so I def need to stop giving them so much GROW but I really didnt want yellow leafs until week 5 or 6. I have been giving them plenty of N so I have to wonder if its something else causing it. Maybe my light is too low. I looked it up last night and it should be at 30" in flower. I have it at like 23" or 24" So maybe I should raise the light. IDK.

Other than that theres not much else to talk about. Other than I have also been trying to rotate them around a little to make sure all of the plant at one point and time is getting middle light.

Here are some pics from 3 nights ago

I should have cut all the small growth under the ring but I didnt and feel its too late now. I dont want to cut on them this late in the game and slow them down. Here are some pics of some stuff i should have cut

Watered them last night with 2 gallons. each contained


2tsp CATALYST

The yellowing of the leafs is still getting worse. I have NO IDEA what the hell is wrong. Other than maybe the light is too low. The Sour D is also showing signs of maybe a P def. Its hard to tell what the hell is going on with this organic BS. (yes....I said it....BS) Anyway...I have know clue whats really going on. Clearly my community of Bact. is not doing so well. But Idk if its from me not doing something right, Earth juice being shitty, Not enough EJ, Too much EJ, IDK IDK iDK IDK BUt Ima ride with it till the Buds fall off. Here are some pics

UPDATE: 57 DAYS IN FLOWER


Sorry its been a while since my last update. I was on Vacation I was of course, worried about keeping my babies hydrated for the week I was going to be gone. Iv done this once before but it was only for 5 days. This was for 7. I used 2 water globes per flowering plant. Along with 2 self watering spikes. That have hosed attached. The spike goes in the soil and the other end of the hose goes in water. In my case a gallon jug. It worked. They werent even droopy when I got back.


The Super Skunk seems to be done. So I am going to start flushing her and let her go another week then cut. I have already put the CD clone in the flower tent. Shes getting big.

I made some nutes last night for the other 3 ladies who arent done. I will give them 1 or 2 more doses before started their flush. I will feed them tonight. Here are some pictures
