Opar’s First Grow: Blue Dream & Bubba Kush 2.0, 2019

[Opar]

Appreciate it, I’ll try moving the fan and see, if not I need to decide additional exhaust fan or dusting in portable ac unit

 

[Opar]

Ok so I didn’t do anything last 2 days but water... really didn’t defoil or tuck or anything... these gals grew a lot!!

Soooo... I gotta keep tucking and bending or is there a point where I just let them go? I’m 1 week in on flower.

I’m going to do some more tucking and bending and selective leaf removal today... bubba kush 2.0 got some big leaves, throwin lots of shade...

I don’t want to limit harvest by bending under the scrof too much, at some point these tops need some vertical to create colas no?

 

[Opar]

Ok so I worked on 2, left the other two until tomorrow... multistrain scrog is interesting.....

Pistils? I have no idea!

The heat and smell... found these guys basking in it!

 

[Silverfox125]

Beautiful. When I scrog I stop training after 2 weeks and just let them go.

 

[Opar]

Thanks Silverfox, I’m going to keep going for now...was super happy to see the growth

 

[Backlipslide]

Yeah bro! Like silverfox said. After a certain time you let them grow. The idea of scrog, or screen of green. Is you veg your plants into the net, tucking and bending into the next hole. Until you fill ever hole.

Then you flip the timer to 12/12, so everything stretches the same, and your left with an even canopy for flower!

 

[Sparkey224]

Wow, they are getting big bro.
You can bend and tuck until week 2 or 3 weeks in flowering.
If you don't tuck anymore, I believe you might have an uneven canopy due to the stretch after week 3. Just be careful.
After the stretch on week 3,I would do a big defoliation in the middle.

Great job on your plants @Opar

 

[Opar]

Thanks @Backlipslide , appreciate your comments. Your plants are looking great!!

And thank you @Sparkey224 , appreciate that info, I was going to stop tucking and let them go now, but I can see how that would be a mistake... blue dream is supposed to be a real stretcher but so far the bubba kush 2.0’s are leading the way... we’ll see how they finish!

Tomorrow I will tuck and train, I have been doing a little selective leaf taking but it seems like every morning for every one I took, 3 more take its place

Saw some pistils on my bubba kush today, didn’t check the others .. funny thing, I thought one of the lower nodes had balls, but it was just tightly curled pistils, scared the hell out of me

That's going to be a big yield @Opar .
My big 3's are:
1) genetics- they says thats 95% of growing
2) temps/humidity
3) lights/nutrients

Those are the big 3

Safety, is number one for me and the only carb filter that's works is " mountain air"..hope this helps..

From your lips to Mother Nature’s ear!

My big 3's are:
1) genetics- they says thats 95% of growing
2) temps/humidity
3) lights/nutrients

1). So far HSO is looking good!

2). I know I’m not optimal with the vpd... next grow I’m going to try to dial this in.

3). I’m hoping I’m bang on with this, minus the suspected iron deficiency I didn’t cotton to until now. Despite friendly advice

hope this helps..

It does indeed, thank you @Sparkey224 !

 

[Sparkey224]

Bro, you are doing great. What's good @Opar is I can tell you are pretty particular when you are doing something. Great quality to have my friend. Keep up the great work.

This! ^

 

[Opar]

Well, I fed my yellowish blue dream some iron, so we’ll see how that turns out, kept the others to their regular feed... feeding roughly 2 quarts a day to each plant, they are in 5 gallon pots...

Checked in on them this morning ....

They are finitely stretching and the blue dreams are catching up... i was heavy handed with the supercropping... figured I might as well try to even the canopy since we’re a week and a half in....

Damn I hope I’m not killing my harvest! Lol...

Hope all your days are going well, all the best!!

 

[Opar]

It occurred to me ... are these plants overgrown for the tent? I’m a week and a half into flower, perhaps I should have flipped sooner? Honest opinions appreciated.

Meaning am I somehow choking other budsites regardless of defoil.... or is it that around week 3 I can lollipop?

 

[GHempster]

Awesome grow and some great support.

 

[Mushie1005]

The plants look great and I dont think they are over grown for your tent I think it filled your tent just right from side to side front to back not to tall not to short I think that you have nailed it right on head with your grow good job

That’s actually great to hear, thank you @Mushie1005 !!

 

[Backlipslide]

How big are those squares?

Never noticed before, but they look oddly big. I’m thinking you could have used smaller holes, and done a bit better of a job filling in the holes. Tucking and bending.

You asked for honest criticism, and I delivered.

BUT! I’m no scrog expert by any means. To be honest I’ve never actually grown under a screen of green before.

I do want to say though, I don’t think your plants are overgrown for your tent at all. Like mushie said, it’s packed in there from front to back. Doing great opar!

I definitely agree, I bought a trellis net at the hydro store, but next grow I will use a better screen, these holes are HUGE, it’s mainly super cropping keeping my canopy level!

Appreciate the feedback, especially since it’s something I was muttering to myself about
