Michael Hunt's First Bubble Grow

[Michael Hunt]

Thanks Dain!! i cannot get enough of your Sage pictures before harvest. If it weren't for labrats threads and tutorial i wouldnt have gotten this grow nearly as far. Thanks everybody.

I had a mishap lastnight, Was leaning over to have a wiff of Sage and my hat slid right off my head and took down 3 of sage's fan leaved and a top that was starting to branch off of one of the Cola tops The good news though is that it shed more light to some undergrowth so hopefully they will make up for the top i removed by accident. Figures i wear a baseball cap for the first time in years and this happens. I forgot why i dont wear hats!!

update

I found 2 more rooted PK clones yesterday bringing it up to 4 rooted PK and 1 rooted SAGE.

I also havent mentioned that i will be leaving tomorrow morning for a 10-day vacation, I'm having a very trusted friend watch over my ladies. Since all of my bins are now stabilized and the PH doesnt really move all that much, he will only need to be adding water and nutes every day. S.A.G.E. is drinking almost 1 gallon per day and PK drinks maybe 2 Gal. a day. I'm really nervous leaving my ladies for this long so please please everybody keep my ladies in your prayers and hope they make it through the next 11 days.

On a side note im excited to come back and see how much they have grown in 10 days.

Very nice looking grow you got here. I'm going to have to keep an eye on it.

You know I too just went on a trip and had my friend watch mine for me. It was actually quite relaxing but I was anxious to get back. I just returned home to find everything doing just great and they were growing faster than I could imagine!

I guess as long as you trust your friend just enjoy your time, I know I did!

I'm sure they'll be fine. One suggestion is to make a small chart and post it right there by your grow room so your friend has something to reference back to, just in case theres' a question of what to do. Enjoy your vaca bro!

Thanks for the Kind words Brewster!! I have faith in my friend, he's starting up a small bubble grow anyways and i will be giving him some of my clones so i know he is somewhat familiar.

Thanks Butcher, i really think they will be but i would be worried if i wasnt worried, if that makes any sence. I have already done some res refilling with him to show what all i do every day for my ladies, and tonight i will be doing a res change with him to ensure he can do it. Along with a nice step-by-step instructions of exactly what to do and when, even down to what order to pull the plants out of the closet.

heading out to Cali for my first time and im pumped. I'll be back later tonight to post the last pictures for 10 days, and once im back there will hopefully be some nice buds forming.

Update!!

Im back everybody with a few pictures of my ladies. A HUGE Thanks goes out to my friend who took care of them for me while i was gone, I had to thank him here since i know he will be reading this later. They are now 4 weeks into flower

Temps got a little high while i was away peaking at 86 and dipping as low at 52 but they are still looking very healthy and lush. I cannot believe how much they grew in 10 days. It blows my mind!!


PowerKush

There are a ton of leaves like this on her

A pile of fan leaves and tiny under developed bud sites from PK

It appeares that tric's are starting to form on PK's stems as well as the leaves around the buds. Is it normal to see trics on stems??


S.A.G.E.

And the famiry photos

There is a tiny bit of burn on both of them but that is exactly where i want the PPM's so that i know they are eating as much as possible. Hope everybody enjoys the pics

 

[SanibelGreen]

Glad you back Mike! Beautiful ladies however you are in the same boat I am maybe, larger plants over shadowing smaller ones I have one freak of a lady that 2 1/2 times the size of any other plant, its kind of crazy however they are starting to flower I am 12 days into flower

[Michael Hunt]

Thats no good man, have you considered pulling the smaller ones out of that bin and giving them a little more space? My S.A.G.E. did really well when i spaced her away from PK.

Forgot to mention, these 2 ladies are going on 3 weeks without a res change. I decided not to change before i left since everything was already balanced

 

[Sanwan]

Welcome back Mike, and damn the ladies DID take off while you were away! I guess time off or a day or two is needed sometimes while growin', whether forced time away or chosen.
Anyhow, welcome back and look forward to more bud porn!

 

[Michael Hunt]

Congrats on the clone rootage Mike!!

Thanks Blitty! I had a 100% success rate on my first batch of clones, the second batch not so good. Since i was away i lost almost all of the S.A.G.E. cuttings from the second round due to the peat pellets drying out. but i have 2 S.A.G.E. and 3 PK rooted and transplanted into dirt for mothers.

Thanks Jawasan, it was a much needed vacation although it was killing me to be away from my ladies for 12 days. Thanks to a very good friend, they made it and then some. And to think he hasnt even done a bubble grow himself . . yet. I told him to take any PK clones he wanted while i was away so maybe i can talk him into starting a journal here. He's got an awesome cabinet CFL setup. Anyhoo thanks for the kind words Jaw!!

Forgot to post these,

Clones and cuttings, maybe soon to be moms?? Who knows

front right is NYC diesel, the rest of the front row is PowerKush, Back left and middle are S.A.G.E. and the back right is another PowerKush

Powerkush cuttings, along with one last sage cutting. The PK cuttings seem to be much more resilliant than Sage. Front right has rooted!!

And some new glass i picked up on vacation, This this weighs 11oz on the dot. I feel like i could smash rocks with this thing

Clones are looking great Mike!! I wanna see some pics of the Power Kush in flower when you get around to it. I just put mine into the flower room, but I have an 18/6 light cycle for the Roadrunner right now, so I haven't officially started the bloom cycle. I think I am going to switch to 12/12 tonight, because the Roadrunner only has one week left.

Thanks The answer, go back a page to see pics of the PK in bloom. I posted them up this morning, She's enourmous, the pictures do absolutely no justice for how big shes getting. I cant wait to have veg and bloom rooms one day. Oh one day

 

[The Butcher]

Very nice!! That PK got huge!! That is one of the niceties of going away for a few days, you come back and your plants look huge! I was gone for four days this week and got a nice little surprise when I came back. Very nice work, can't wait till mine starts to flower!

 

[CadillacMike]

Nice to have you Back ol' Buddy! Even better that you came home to wonderful plants when you returned.

Did you say in SG's Thread that you have your hoods just pulling air up and out from the room. If so, dou you have somkind of intake somewhere? I only ask because i am kinda struggling with my cooling, and since we got prtty similar equiptment i thought id ask.

Wait, we do have the same equiptment as far as the ballast right, lol?

 

[CadillacMike]

Yo Bro, i forgot to ask, you dont use feeder tubes do you? If no, how and where do you keep your water level for the roots?
