McBudz - Twilight, Great White Shark, Master Kush - 2009

[HAPPY GRASS]

Just dialed in today, kinda late, but better late than never. The grow looks amazing, just bearly getting through the first couple of pages but I will go throught the whole thing soon enough.

I WANT GWS!! lol. i wanna see how wheelos grow goes. but i know i will have this strain soon enough.

i'm not expecting to duplicate McBuds results lol. but even if a get buds half that size i'll be stoked.

You should be able to get buds this size I have faith in you my friend its a very hearty strain. Clones very well too. 100% success rate in the ezcloner which I'm swapping out for a smaller cloner. I have no need for a 60 site cloner.

 

[WheeloFortune]

well, considering i've never ever had a single bud that looked like a 5 lb roasted chicken, it will be a tall order. plus you have more light.

but thanks bro, I'm giving 100%.

Looking great as always McBudz:
This year long season was an experimental one for me in using different fertilizers and additive solutions>
I was curious to know if and what noticebale difference you found it to have?

Adding hygrozyme and KB this time around to see if there is any noticeable difference.

Well for starters since incorporating both of these right off the get go in flower the plants which vegged 1 week less are now at the same height as the previous set on the left side of my tent. I noticed more crystalization and over a larger area of the sugar leaves. Nothing miraculous but def undeniably noticeable. This set started flower on the 1st so it should really only get better from here. They are looking better and better everyday and feel like I am going to get much fatter colas from this batch. Time will tell.

I have stocked up on both and they are now a staple in my res solution.

Currently feeding:

GH Flora Series 3 part nutes
Botanicare Cal-mag plus
GH Kool Bloom (PK 10/10)
Hygrozyme

That was a funny observation, I knew exactly what you meant. didnt help the way I had it hanging lol

 

[McBudz]

plus you have more light.

Thought I read you have a 1000 in your cool tube, no? In effect you have more lumens at the colas. My 600's are spread over a greater distance so nobody is really getting much more than what a sinlge 600 would give. My middle 600 hasn't been on in quite a while. Well since I had a 700 dollar elec bill (f'n central air!!) I cut back on heat generation and elec consumption.

That and shortly after a bulb went so I moved the middle bulb over to replace the one that blew. Nice to have spares I may put a 400 in the middle to supplement that not so brite area at a fraction of the cost and heat output of the 600. I have them laying around why not right? Well I do need to get a new Hortilux 400 bulb I only have MH's in supply for my 400's.

Anyways I expect your wheel to be full o' fat colas and I am patiently waiting

New Pics

Left side is 24 hours into final flush.. Right side is 29 days into bloom...

Also have 2 new additions to my mom club. 1 fem DNA Rock Lock and 1 fem DNA LA Confidential. Thank you Attitude seeds.

RockLock

Just breaking the surface.. LAC

 

[moslowjj]

Wow!! Super nice McBudz.... A+++ Reps For a Great grow and journal...

 

[WheeloFortune]

thanks mcbuds,

man nice additions, i have heard nothing but good things about the la confidential.

Every time i see them I am amazed at the uniformity of your clones. healthy, straight, and tight. tiny height discrepancies, but not much. looks so nice. symmetry is beauty!

I just added 400w to the right side of my tent for the dirt. the wheel still only has 600w, with the height restriction though, i don't think i can get buds that big. . .

if you were growing a plant in your system but needed to keep it under say, 14-15" max, how big of a single cola do you think you could grow? how many grams? and . . . how big is an average cola that you grow now? how many grams?

Thanks man. I cant wait to have a tent full of DNA genetics I hear nothing but great stuff about them..

Ok I just measured the side of my tent that is flushing now.. Max height is 30 inches. So about twice what your looking for.

I will set aside the six main colas I have when I harvest. I will measure from hydroton to top of cola (average will be about 28 inches I imagine) measure bottom of cola to tip to get a % of cola to stem I guess. Then girth. I will dry this set aside from the lateral branches and find the dry weight / 6 and give you the average main cola yield in weight.

You should really try the height reducer. I may even try it for you to see if we can get a fat cola right from the hydroton up. See if you can get 28 inches worth of yield from 15 inches of height

As far as clones go I cut very large tight stacked clones straight from the mom like that. Gives me a very short turnaround from root to veg. I LST'd the snot out of the mom so she gives me a nice selction of branches to cut from. I only have 4 x 23watt 5500K CFL's maintaining her in a 1.5 gallon bucket. Great White Shark is mean just like her name implies

here is the top of my mom plant where I cut from. Every time I take cuttings the branches just multiply..

you still have 3 600w's in your tent?

That grow looks amazing, you must hate leaving your grow. Mine is nothing like it and I sit there for hours at a time. If that was my room I would have a major kick back section in there, I woul'd never want to leave.

plus the co2 you exhale is good for them if you don't already supplement it, so keep it up! lol.

you mean the liquid light/penetrator stuff? i've never tried it yet, but butch seems to think they are great. . . don't know why im dragging my feet on that one. I would love to see you try a 15"er would def give me a frame of reference.

thanks so much for your advice mcbuds. always appreciated.

 

[WheeloFortune]

you got major reps on layaway.

I've never even heard of that product before. I'll find it on google right now. i have heard of bushmaster. . . thats what i meant before.

3 are in there, only running 2 though. Middle bulb is burnt out. Thinking of running a 400 in the middle to save a few pennies or just leaving the 2 outer ones..
