McLoadie's Third Grow Journal

Thanks to all for your greetings and positive comments...and reps SH. This grow is goin so well it scares me. I havn't had plants this healthy at this stage.......well, since my last dr earth grow! It's good stuff, I tried other non organic stuff just to see what the hubbub was or if there is any hubbub to it! For my style, and my personality....including my grow spaces...I like the organics!:peace:Faster is not always better......
 
IDK if I did this before, but if I did it was then...and it's now now. You like? A smoke report on the yeti after one month cure. It's very floral, like a wine, you wanna pull it outta the jar and let it breathe for like say...two minutes...smell it again and it smells to me like a very expensive ladies perfume. The smoke is absolutely smooth, but if you want to cough...you can take a huge lungful and it will make you cough. This strain has always been a favorite of mine, not to smoke, but for the patients, I get more meds from the sativas than the indicas. Thy high is at times debilitating, loadie is twice as heavy a smoker as me, and I think I'm just slightly less of a loadie than normal. Yesterday we were talking and just kept smoking, 3/4 of a 1.25 paper joint....I don't like to be that high...I almost got sick and I had extreme body rushes goin on for at least an hour. Loadie said she got super loaded off it too.......some other strains she can smoke 4 or 5 joints a day by herself. I hope the mom that I'm going to let seed gives me some, or I'll have to go back and make a cross again to get it back! It's a clone only strain...seeds do not exist!
 
I really like your netless scrog, Mac.

I've been thinking along the same lines, myself. Eliminate the main top, and then keep pulling the tallest branches outward. The middle fills with side stems, and the canopy stays perfectly even with a nice shallow depth for penetration. You get the same cubic footage from the plant, but in a more efficient shape. Your strings are beautiful ghetto tech! I don't know if I'd have the patience. I've discovered that if you're able to mess with 'em several times a day, you can manipulate/bend/guide the branches to grow that way themselves. Gotta redo it every few hours, but within a couple days, they hold themselves in the new position, at the same height as their neighbors.

I think this is going to go well. +reps

Good evening weed to ya MC. Your girls are looking really healthy and that what we all strive for. The ten plants I put in the tent to flower are looking really healthy now also. I mixed in the Dr Earth tomato fert and all the other good stuff I use in my soil and they have really responded. The flowers on the girls outside are doing really good too. Loving this stuff

I've been doing this for a coupla grows now gray, I did it different this time in reference to the timing. It's kinda hard to tell what's up when you change too many factors at a time. Last run the plants got way too tall due to a miscalculation with the plants in flower, which forced me to veg em for two weeks longer than I would have preferred, which gave me a tall plant, I stripped the underfoliage out and I think it stunted growth during a critical time of bud formation. Another thing I did last run that I think hurt was the defoliation........too many leaves...again...more stunting. This run I stopped the manipulation at flip.......which has given me longer lollipops......BUT....the plants are twice as healthy and have close to twice the fruitwood. Like I said, when you change a few things on a grow it's hard to tell what did what. I'm also using a nutrient regimen that I have had good results with, and the addition of Epsom salts this run. I'm looking for the magic combination between plant size, pot size, light height, and nutrient regimen...LOL...the same thing we all look for!
 
Good weed to all! I hope you guys will call me on any ideas you think differently about, I try to post everything BEFORE I apply it so if someone sees me doin something they disagree with I can at least consider it before I make the move. The largest plant in flower will start to wilt between 8 and 10 tomorrow morning, so, they'll get this treatment at 3 am; I worked 1/2 cup each ten gallon pot of dr earth flower girl, as best I could into the top of the soil without disturbing the roots. I'll water them with a solution as such; 1 gallon of tap water, 1 tbsp. molasses, 4 tbsp. SNS 203, 1 tbsp. Epsom salt, and just a shot of super diluted triple sixteen. I'm trying to do this run entirely organic, but if I think they need something that's not organic....they're gonna get it! The triple sixteen has all my trace elements in it. BTW, at the moment, they are taking 7 cups of water each.......three days dry...then water. This schedule is letting them dry way out and they get watered just before they wilt...it's working..LOL....for now.
 
Happy Friedday Mc and Young Miss Loadie:circle-of-love:
