OldMedMan's Super Lemon Haze Collective Grow

[Siscokid]

Hi Buddy Yep, pack em tight. When I replant into an airpot, I pack it tight, bottom and sides, then put the plant in and only water and maybe super thrive or B-1 to get the roots going just where the plant meets the new soil . Just to let it look for more soil. Once she takes, then regular watering. They go through water a bit faster than a normal pot.

Here is the thing about AirPots that folks don't understand. The air is passed through the soil and AIR automatically prunes the roots. It keeps the roots happy. Also the roots grow outward horizontally and not so much down, even the tap root doesn't go too deep in an airpot until the plant develops to maturity. As it grows you will see the roots come to the side holes and die, which is normal. Got all that?

Oklee doklee, I'm all for keeping the roots happy I'll pack the bajesus out of it and water it to see how much time it takes to drain and then dry out.

As far as packing the dirt...I pack mine when I repot. I only gently pack it after I put the transplant in, but when I am getting the pot ready for her to drop in I pack it real well. When I water I end up with less spill through...can always tell how good a job I did by how much water she holds before it spills out into her tray. If it comes out right away, no way will I be giving her enough and she will suffer from underwatering...or that is what I do anyway for right or wrong. I have read the hair root arguement about hard packed soil and not sure what I think about it, I actually do not think with my added perlite, that my soil can pack too tight, but sure would like to know what the guru's think....good news is there is no packing hempy...all you would do is crush the perlite..
And yeah I figured you would have to pack those airpots to keep the dirt in it...ever done the experiment of figuring out how much dirt they hold?

I must tell you my stoner moment...I was spacing and in my head I seen the monster of outside pots...a 55 gallon drum full of perlite with a hole punched halfway up....super outdoor hempy...SLH would become a tree in that thing...12+ feet I bet and if it stays healthy should get there quick with hempy growth rates...

Well I thought I would show you guys my problem child...she is on the ground already with only a couple feet to go before I have to tie her sideways...and she is not spitting bud at any rate yet at day 15...umm I think this girl is gonna throw that 9-10 week budding time out the window....She is in FFOF and I am using Osmocote + as her primary fert. She has gotten one other liquid fert at half strength and will get another in a week or so when she throws bud.

Bertha on day 15 of 12/12. Check out those insane leaves...

Here you can see how after I let her LST go she just mostly straightened it out and went into vertical boogie mode...LST got her revved up I guess or she is just a monster. If she is good smoke I will make this a permanent member of my garden. Just have to figure out how best to grow her.

Bertha is looking sweet...

in our house we have two diff. styles....i pk the sides and bottom of the pot and pull the roots out and fluff them up, put root beneficials in, put plant in, and finish filling with dirt....then bounce alot of times to make sure no air gaps around roots....then refill with more dirt, and just really snug that down...

hubby is a mammoth killer, he fluffs the roots, but is much more brutal about it....the sound of wog, radiates in the room....it goes along with my grimmace and ahhhh, and boy i'll bet she lost a finger on that one...to which he gives me "the look", then he puts the plant in and "firmly" packs it again....to which i try to stare at the plant im doing and whisper "please tell your friend he didnt mean it"....but his dont die either and seem to suffer no ill effects, so now i keep my comments to myself as he seems to know what hes doing, just a different style....L

i think two chefs can work in the same kitchen as long as they respect the differences in each other....

Its all good info OMM

Hi Lavendar. Just stay out of his way and let him go! We all love "the look". Everyone's seen it.
Sometimes, I feel like we should test different ways of doing things just to see if they are true. Example is packed soil and roots. Both ways work, so which is right? Have a good evening L .

letting him do it his way works best, and in the long run his works as well as mine mostly....yes, i think which ever works best for the individual...any more, the right and wrong have turned into "whatever works" if it doesnt, dont do it again, or fix it...if it does, refine it, modify and go from there...look how many advances we have made in the science of mmj....and we really still know very little...but we're learning here, and improving on it all...alot of good minds here, remember that commercial "this is your brain on pot" shows the fried egg? i was a 4.0 honor student in college and smoked every day...give me a break....what we do know about it might half filll a thimble but the ignorant mind set about it, would overflow an ocean...later, L

Well Said Lavendar What a great summary of how things are.
Just look around 420 if you want to see intelligence. There are many that push the boundaries of science right here. Fried egg? Oh! Sure!

A Quick update of my Super Lemon Haze Day 43 of veg.

She's looking pretty good to me!

 

[MountainHigh]

She is looking really good to me too OMM!!! She is starting to express the inner giant she has in her...I have met one of her cousins, I know she has it in her.... Don't let her fool you into thinking she is a small plant...so she can then take over your closet when all you gave her was the crack of light spot...I really just can't wait for her monster to show itself.

My two little babies are starting to look good...the one in soil just exploded right off the block...the hempy SLH is like a big gun or something, taking extra time to reload for massive growth...
(Hey they like the pep talks...)

Here they are...in front of Cheese in my little veg cab.

Those lower leaves that she started eating in the cloner turn green then she eats the nitrogen and they go yellow then they go green...I should just cut them off to spare myself the indecision...

I think I like this vigor...but my baby in bloom is taking her sweet time throwing bud....I think she is being very Sativa...should be a wild long ride.

I like rides.

my good friend and Aloha to you.

Hi lavendar Thanks!

You can finally put away the magnifying glass! She's visible now! Hooray!
Looking for forward to seeing her!

 

[OldMedMan]

Hi There Theanswerto1984is1776

Glad you dropped in As you can tell, we're fired up for this girl and every report we get about her is good. Don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

[crazy horse]

I agree with mountainhigh, OMM's plant is at that stage just before take off!, the calm before the storm lol cant wait to see it grow big in the hawaiin sun


All the SLH pics look great, REP for everyone when i can



My slh is in strech mode, i managed to avoid it on my last grow, the soil to the top of my buds was 2ft, no chance of that on this grow as its already over that height and has 9/10 weeks to go.

Hey Buddy I hope your right! She is looking like she wants to take off.
You may want to get some Bushmaster, if remember right you are height challenged in your grow area. What a vigorous strain!

I thought my girl had slowed down as her top is bushing out more, then my mind actually seen where she was in comparison to the bulb...and she hasn't thrown bud yet...she is spitting pistil here and there....and she is 17 days in...this is a scary girl...I sense serious tight LST for my upcoming ones..going by the 40/60 rule I am screwed for a fast harvest from her haha.... Wonder if I will harvest the Cheese I won't put in for a couple weeks before that SLH that is already in...

Aloha my Friend and Peace be with you.

Now would it shock you to find out...phed water and Mater Magic from Home Depot? I don't believe my hempy is thriving in it yet and it may never...if it stays slow I am gonna add a bit of OC+ too and get her started... Vroom Vroom. She might also go into the bloom cabinet as is with colloidal silver (I have a rig to make it). Or I might just buy some gibberellic acid...5 bucks for enough for tons of selfing experiments.

The soil girl is having stupid growth...I mean just stupid...she will own that cabinet soon. So I am sure that is the clone I am growing or semi sure... I think both my current girls will be harvested withing a week or so of each other and will need a replacement anyway so I guess the growth rate isn't horrible. It is actually really cool..., so not complaining.

Here is my bloom girl...starting to spit pistils on day 18.

my good friend and Aloha to you.

 

[MountainHigh]

Hey this is woods, but just some info. Both of these are using Mater Magic, both got transplanted same time and both were approximately same size.

Mater Magic works really good in soil I think and no so much in Hempy, at least not yet.

Here they are day after coming out of cloner and into medium.

And here they are today.

Looks like the hempy isn't establishing really fast, might put some OC+ in her with the Mater Magic. But look at the soil girl take off.



And I promise no more pics for awhile...

Canadian silver coin and a DC power supply? oh and a glass of water lol. Just dont drink it unless you get the 99% pure silver but Im sure lesser percentages might work for this.


All the plants look awesome everyone and if anyone needs someone to test there product you know where to find me....

Yeah old power supply, and two silver bar .999 fine and a dark blue glass gallon tea jug, I use to drink it. I am gonna make a whole gallon, and won't need that much I am sure, so will drink some too maybe...

Who knows, if it makes me feel better...might keep perking it again.
