Our Ongoing Grows

[NorCaliwood]

Opps double posted My bad,, Keepem Green

 

[NorCaliwood]

And I just took the #2 Mind Cantrol outta the dryer net,, so I grabbed acouple pics of her, 90% dried and just about ready to cure out. Man she s some spacey ass pot;;;

and

I wish I could describe her smell,, guess I need to break out one of these smell charts. They do help;

well I'm going to burn a Incredible Bulk dubie in a minute.... Keepem Green

 

[NorCaliwood]

Ok I couldn't give a recap of the Incredible Bulk,,, I did get high'... That's a plus. And tasted great,,, kind of flora.. I think.... But I didn't wanna post about that. I wanted to show my depressing looking flower room. I,, when I do flips, like to use the MH bulb for the first week of transition. It will help keep alittle stretch down if your working with a run away sativa. These all are about 14" average going in to flower. I have a 1000 watt MH on them. And in acouple more days I'll be switching to a 1500 watt HSP light, till I need more space then I'll light up the other 1500 watter and fire up the light rails.

And I hoping these girls will follow about 2 weeks after. I need to get some soil, so these girls roots won't bottom out and slow down. If you don't restrict the roots system, plants tend to grow faster. Even acouple wraps around a pot slow them down. And I feel every leaf you take, slow growth.. Especially in the faster veg cycle of teen aged plants. Here's the youngings;

Do ya think they will be ready in 2 weeks? They better be.. I'll get to the store tomorrow for soil.. Black Gold Organic mix is my soil.. Afew little goodies to be added.... Then a regiment of GH's Flora Nova fertilizers.......... I generally don't fertilize in veg cycle when plants are going straight into flower anyways.. Unless they look hungry. Yellow leafs are for close to harvest,, not during veg. Least I think.. JK But I have had plants no matter how much nitrogen I gave them,, they looked hungry.... Keepem Green

Healthy an happy Woods bro
Just had to pass by an say thanks for helping me reach the next step in life trying to keep it green Ya see I may just be a royal pain in the ass when I go onto the next flower phase

You know Dutchess, the Green Clearer calls for 2 ozs per gallon for the first dose,, I'd use atad over 1 per gallon to see how they react. Those misters are great for smaller plants. Did you have these critters on your outdoor grow? I'd spray everything you have growing. And you need a magnifier of some sorts to keep a eye out for pests before they get to a infestation stage. You can go online and find a nice little 45X microscope for under 5 bucks. If you order the ones from China it take afew weeks to get it... I stay with local, the States anyways, and you get it pretty fast.
BTW the 6th plant I started in flower is a Kushberry from DNA genetics..
GL and Keepem Green

Im sure they were there (yard grow) just not bad and no obvious damage. The yard grow was so healthy!!! With the yard grow I gave them a few Aza drenches in the beginning and some Safer Cat. spray in Sept. Im not sure if the Safer works on aphids too?? There must be something thats cheaper than Green Cleaner for aphids for my next yard grow?? I will research. I will use the Green Cleaner for all indoors with a mister.
Ive got a scope and a 100x mag. glass.
You grow great weed Wood!!!!

 

[Mr. Krip]

I was told the hole in the stem is a calcium def?? If so what should I do?

The hollow stems are not a Cal deficiency.

Here's an excerpt from a previous response I gave to a grower with a similar question/issue who was told it was a sign of good nute intake:

The area that's hollow is where the "pith" would normally be. The pith is the soft, spongy center in the middle of plant stalks where carbon is stored. When the pith starts to disappear, it's called "Pith Autolysis" and, while it does NOT indicate any real problems with the plant, I don't believe it's because of good nute intake.

What it does indicate is that the plant needed more carbon, so it started to feed on its own carbon reserves.

Some plants are genetically prone to have a hollow pith and other reasons can include plants that are grown in low light conditions, low CO2 conditions, and fast-growing/leggy plants can also be more prone.

So, for example, if the growroom is packed with plants, there may not be enough CO2 for all of them because they're all sucking it all out of the air. So, because there's not enough CO2, there's not enough carbon, and because there's not enough carbon, the plant will start feeding on it's own carbon reserves in the pith.

Low light conditions effect the plants ability to photosynthesize, so even if there's enough CO2, they won't be able to break it down, resulting in the same feeding on it's own carbon reserves.

It does not indicate any problems, per se, just a sign that the plant was feeding on its own carbon reserves.

I hope that helps!



EDIT: I should add that flowering plants use lots of carbon to help form those buds, so its also much more common in flowering plants!

 

[4Dutchess]

Mr. Krip, Thanks!!!!!!! The buds I harvested saturday in my tent had a few hollow stems too. The one in the pic, from the yard, dosent get full all day sun and I wonder if thats a factor??? I got neighbors Motion detector lights going off so my yard grows a crap shoot!!! Im many ways too!!!
I want to get good so thanks so much!!!

 

[bobrown14]

Good luck with the doc healthcare deal. Health care is right there in your garden.

I'm still here

thanking my green friends

[AngryBird]

I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and big hugs to you both.

 

[NorCaliwood]

Thanks A-Bird and everyone for stopping in. Good to see ya Mr BBrown and Mr Krip and Dutchess, I hope everyone has a Great Holiday. I'm going to try to get acouple pretty pics up before X-Mas. It's alot growing on around here. I have to go get the X-Mas Dinner, nice not to have to cook the whole meal,,, kind of a prefab dinner from Fred Myers. While there,, they carry my dirt. So tomorrow I'll transplant those little girls in their finish pots. I use Black Gold Organic mix as my starter soil. Afew amendments and she'll be ready. Now just time. Should be seeing buds on the girls in flower soon. Today I will change over to a HPS bulb and change to my finish light, which is a monster,, 1500 watts of light on a 4' rail over the first 6. Keepem Green and stay warm.....

 

[NorCaliwood]

Well Christmas is getting close. Poor Santa has had buds coming up north by stuffed trainfulls just in time for the Holidays. Heres his major distribution center. They off load faster then he can fly presents out by sleigh tho.

[Mr. Krip]

Nice! I hope it's not TrainWreck!!!

 

[NorCaliwood]

LOL I didn't even register that one.. Keepem Green

 

[Jaga]

WoW a 1500 HPS must be a wonderful light to play with
happy Holidays to you star

 

[AngryBird]

OK, please make sure train stays on track send it over my way

 

[NorCaliwood]

I do like that light. I can't run 4 1000 watters here. Temps and I don't have space left in the power draw out of out our main. But I can handle 3000 watts. And those Magumn XXL hoods are damn near 4' across. They only go back and forth 3 foot for complete covage of a 10X5 primary footprint. 12' is pushing in. But two of them do a 10X10 perfect. I usally do a 10'X8' grow. Gives me alittle more elbow room.
It's coming express A-Bird... Unless someones out to shoot Santa Claus again this year. Bah Humbug............ Wheres my gun.... JK Christmas is for kids. Mainly. I wonder if Santa got me some more seeds....... KJ Keepem Green

I have to be completly honest the best grow ever to date on my 420 journey was with a plant I did just to see I got 36grams ,, with no food only plain tapwater ,, for me the heat of a 600w was far to hot in my space which fine but I wasnt allowed the windows open in winter I often wish I could gro again with the HPS ,, don’t get me wrong I love the LED light for its inexpense buuut they can be a lot of money so I haven’t needed to yet but if I have to replace it would cause stress
Who tried to shoot Santa OMG thats horrible ,, this end a guy ran a muck with his lorry through a Christmas themed market in Germany its near war on the streets over there,, argh some thing surely has to change ,,
Hope next year is better on these fronts

 

[NorCaliwood]

I bought one of the first 1500 watters on the market. I wish I'd have waited. Now they have dimmable 1500 watters. I've never tried to fire a MH bulb in mine. Guess it woodn't hurt to find out. Simple e-mail to sunlight systems should tell me. Heres what I have,

oh I did run into a pic of our never used much vapourizer;

heres the hood I'm running. The 3.5 light rails bearly hold the hood wieght wise;

Well I'm off to bed,,,, not that I'll fall asleep. Damn doc's won't help with that either.... I stay up till I pass out. Well off to take a hit of Incrediable Bulk, a pain med and hopefully I'll rack for acouple hours... Keepem Green Everyone
