OldMedMan's 2nd Grow 5 Strains and AirPots

hi OMM, good to see you've got things rolling smoothly.
I've been wondering if you are using the same nute strength on all your plants, or is it too early to see any unique requirements?

Hi Buddy Right now 1/4 strength for all. That's the trouble with growing many strains at once, not knowing them at all.:smokin2:
We will see.
Here's one for you. I put that male in the bathroom, closed all the windows and the door. Last night I cut all limbs off except the two that had the most little balls on it. I bent those limbs way over and tied them down so I could but a bag over them easily. This morning I looked in and what a surprise.
Both limbs right at where I had tied them had grown at least an inch and were pointing straight up! No harm. These plants sure are strong and really fight for life. Makes you wonder why we have trouble growing these plants sometimes.:ganjamon:

Let me run another crazy idea by you. I have all the lights close to my girls. I know that if you move lights higher the plants would stretch toward it. What if I did that on purpose? They are growing so slow and I hate the wait in veg.
Wonder how much it would hurt them to stretch a bit and gain height so I could put them out outside sooner? Your thoughts? :reading420magazine:
 
Wow I did not think that Italy wood be like that.I want to travel to eruope and go to spain,france then Italy.How are the law's for tourist's with just a small amount?

I had no problems at all in Italy, Germany, or Spain finding anything I wanted, but that was 30 years ago. Parks and train stations were good. But times have changed. I still think it would be possible in Germany. It was way open there. Hard for me to believe that they have shut things down.:smokin2:

I've had that same exact thought before! My thought wasn't to get them tall to go outside, but to lengthen the space between the nodes to lst them a bit easier. I never tried it though.

You'll probably find at least one that shows everything early, my first Afi strain was like the canary in the coal mine, even got yellow first, heheh. I'm sure you can keep them in line.

Heheh a little bondage always gets a strong reaction. I think it was tunes journal where I read he supercrops the branches so they are hanging. Keeps anything from slipping out the tied end, and they won't straighten up much but they'll still mature fine. And the pollen will collect where it's easy to see, in the bad end.
I know they can be poisoned easily enough but they can take some shredding and survive, tough buggers.

I'm not sure why you want them taller to put them outside. Watchoo talkin' 'bout? I think they'll stretch plenty when you take them out into that lovely sunshine you lucky bastard...ooops heheh said that out loud, sorry,:rollit:
You just want to see them grow faster dontcha? I know I would.
But if you want to stretch them pull your lights higher and turn a few off, that should make them stretch. Maybe just a bushy strain though, skinny branches won't hold oz's up without support.:thumb:

I would probably start to harden them a little now with a little time outdoors each day, get em used to the big light, but I don't know what you have planned. How much daylight are you getting these days?

Ok OMM, I am warning you now I am stoned on Lilbit. So I probably have been here awhile. :ganjamon: Vape dried a completely wet bud...clogged my screen...sacrifice was necessary.

I actually think it might be beneficial only if you control it, stretch her then fill her in, then stretch her...etc. Never let her stalks get thin, bad for transport (that is my opinion anyway).

Wow incoherent much....Point of Know Return is on...good song. Now Jeff Healey Band, While My Guitar Gently Weeps....must go, while I can...:smokin2:

Aloha brother.

Yea, but truthfully it's bad idea. Just talked to Norcaliwood and he said for me to go to 20/4 on my lights and then in a while go to 18/6. I have been running 24/0. The plants need some time to rest and actually grow during times of darkness. The Butcher told me the same thing in my last grow...so...I will listen to the masters. :ganjamon:
 
Hey OMM, I have been away, unexpectedly transplanted, and am very happy to be back. I look forward to catching up. I see you are growing a few strains best of luck.
Your friend and Brother in Arms

Hi my Friend Wingman Welcome back:thumb: Yea, I knew you were gone somewhere. Sent you email today, and left a note in your Journal. I have missed you and was worried. Can't wait to hear this story.:thumb:

These plants just keep surprising me.:yummy: I don't think I'll supercrop them just yet. Kinda scary that. I have topped the two that are outside already. A first for me. Next grow, I'm gong to try to grow some giants, all sativa. So guess I'll just bump along at regular speed. You are right, impatient, let's get going now! I battled then indoors last time, so just wanted to skip that part.:ganjamon:

It is 12/12 as usual here.:surf:

Actually, I have been toughening them up. I use more fans this time and give em hell. They maybe small, but they have some big stems already.:yahoo:

Thanks for your input, I value what you say. Hey, we pretty much started about the at the same time, but our experience has been different in our grows :thankyou:.

High....you stoned....never.:ganjamon: Wet in the vape? Desperate times call for desperate action :ganjamon:

I was just caught up in the urge to get them outside. Thanks.:grinjoint:

I'll let you get back to your music....while your heads right.:thumb:

Think there's a chance that I'll hear the "House of the Rising Sun" a
bit later tonight.:peacetwo:

Yes buddy, times have changed.
For good stuff here, you must pay a lot and know the right people.
Or you smoke some mix of unknow shit.
Spain is great, really good weed or hash and if you have the time to search, you'll found really good stuff.
My friend 1 year ago was in erasmus with university in Spain, he had a story like the movie "BLOW", not for the end :thumb:
:peace:
 
Man...those airpots look like they wood be perfect for a mother, especially with the auto-pruning it does!

Hi my friend I think you are very right with that statement. Those things are just perfect for that. Thanks for looking in.:yummy:

They sure have changed Superweed . Too bad. I only had 4 days in Spain. I have always wanted to go back. In fact, I would just love to go back to Europe. I spent a year each in Germany and Italy. Six and a half years in Greece. Greece is very hard on drugs and they probably have not changed at all. One hit of l*d and it's life. Cannabis and hash is almost as bad.:smokin2:

If you'll come after October i will put aside some of my weed, so you'll no have problems.:thumb:

Thank you for the thought my friend I don't think OMM is going to travel any more. Just too may things I would have to do to remain healthy.
I was lucky, and did all my traveling when I was young. So, I am happy as I am.:thumb:

It's sure!! I don't know when. But i will.

I was thinking of supercropping just the branches you have bagged, to keep pollen firmly in place. You need some internode space if you want to supercrop those girls, they look pretty compact.
So they'll begin to flower as soon as they are left outside. I understand now why you want more height first.
For some reason I thought you had a bit of seasonal difference in day length. Assumption.

Toughening probably also involves gradual exposure to UV.

Yeah different experiences for sure, you grew a bunch of weed and I grew fungus, lol heheh:thumb:
