Perpetual Grow Among Other Things!

:nomo: I'm subbed, but admittedly have a lot of catching up to do on your journal.

I gotta admit, the whole marker board usage is very original!!

Thank you for subbing Cogreen. This is a perpetual so you kinda can read from end to start. Hopefully it will have stuff you can get from it. for the most part I post daily and try to keep it from getting boring.

I did steal the marker board idea and love it. It saves me from writing so much stuff down. I haven't seen anyone use it to post though. This way I get all my stats in one pic i just upload to my grow calendar and the website. Much easier!


Again thanks for subbing and I hope it never gets boring.. a new batch every 3-4 weeks it shouldn't.

:peace:

No Pics? WTF

Ok so today's update I am mixing it up. No pics tonight...

I'll post stats tomorrow night and they are all good with no adjustments needed but I did add water to F1 and F2 tubs...

Everything was good except.... the N1's are starting cal mag issues so i added some in F1,2,3 .. I added 20 ML in F1 and F2 and like 10ml in F3 cause it had some recently.

I had forgotten how quickly the N1 strain chewed through it last time and I wasn't even using LED. Also it does appear to be ahead of the PC in it's development. I will probably harvest it possibly early week 8. If that. It will end up as surplus for projects as soon as the PC harvests/cures at same time. It seemed ready to harvest in 7 weeks last time and gained very little week 8. Crappy strain.. Good bye..


I will be harvesting 4 weeks later or so on the TW and WW. If all continues on this road hopefully to be well traveled I will have the variety I want starting to roll in first in few weeks then consistently from there...

So all else was good. The PC's cola's are in bud swell. Odd enough the strong 4 are done stretch buds growing but the ones that made it above the canopy are still gaining height. Learning the strain.. ;)

So speaking of that I was concerned with this huge stretch on such this strain so research show's yah for some reason PC stretches alot more than other indica dominant strains. That being said there are definitely various reviews and results. Not all good.

Some people say nute picky... not for me but I have dealt with N1 PIA strain...

Some people say Small buds no big ones.. true so far but TBD

So far if the yield is good the strain is high thc and cbd's so it should give results. After 6 weeks of boring meds I am excited for the sweet stuff...

Some people claim it to be best they have had... quality wise.

So that is all based on the grow results and quality of grow in my opinion...


Call out to you SG as I would trust your results.. ;) Thank you for stopping in...

Veg is all good... May have a good small dilemma. The PC that was ready for flower is getting pretty big. Maybe a project defol. See what happens.. Any idea's?
So far either a mom... pop some clones and start it over... possibly big defol.. possible idea's??
I decide soon but not tonight...
So DCC and BK are sprouting new fans as we type/read. Looking good. And other than unusual growth length on PC big topped ones they are progressing and tops look good overall...

So that's about it for now... I'll check on them again later to see on the cal mag stuff and just cause I like to look at them.

Have a good night..

Deja vu!

10-22-2015

Evening...

So lets start off with some stats....


Yesterday first....


IMGP07141.JPG



Then today and I was surprised....


IMGP0731.JPG


Not the nice smell i wasnt surprised at that... PH in F2 had dropped a lot. So that also helps explain why i had leaves starting to look brown.

IMGP07271.JPG
IMGP0728.JPG


Only on new top growth so should be calcium deficient but PH means the Cal mag boost was not getting through I am sure as desired...So bam 6.0 now...

That damn N1

this thing

IMGP07241.JPG



The PC is showing nothing of the sort.. LOOK at this thing..


IMGP07231.JPG
IMGP07261.JPG
IMGP0729.JPG


not quite week 6. 2-3 weeks? damn.. gonna need to support those cola soon!!!

The early tent occupants are growing green and lush..

IMGP07221.JPG


The PPM was WAY high lol .. I took out a good amount and replaced it with PH only water... No biggie they didn't seem to mind it.. Well haven't shown it...

So the whole tent overall is doing very well!!! Things should be back in control as well. Not that it ever wasn't really.. 1 tub off.. Strain is super picky or I haven't mastered it yet.. on to better anyway.

IMGP07251.JPG
IMGP0721.JPG



Water change in a few days for all in there.. Should be great growth next week.

I definitely need to get on a 3 week cycle so that means only 2 into flower when tent becomes free. This way hopefully the growth will be more spread out stage wise.. Kinda crowded... Maybe this weekend I will hack up the N1 lower section like crazy. Bah probably just talk... I'll chicken out..


So let's zip through veg as I am rambling


IMGP07201.JPG
IMGP0719.JPG
IMGP0718.JPG
IMGP07171.JPG



All good here.. I took the support away from the DCC we'll see what happens it seemed strong enough. The BK decided to stay kinda short... For now. Both are seeing good growth in the centers..

The pc clones are all healthy and well... No plans yet what I will throw in flower next .. obviously at this point the PC's. If the DCC and BK pop as the two in flower now did then I will put them in young and early on purpose... All these beautiful PC clones may all be made into another batch of clones... LOL

Guess that is it for now.....

Have a good night...

:peace:

FE those are great looking plants. Both the veg and flower tent look great. That PC in flower just looks like it might be too much for you. If you like send her to me and I will finish her for you. :) Seriously she is a beauty.

Hehe I would gladly share some ;) Thank you for looking..
It really is a very unique strain as it grew like a sativa but it is indica dominant. The height had me very surprised....It would work very well for grows like mine. Plenty of vertical room but floor foot print is kinda small. If all finishes well in the next few weeks it will be a good grow on a good strain finally. All good stuff from here ;)


I'm trying to get the balls to go seriously defol the N1.


:peace:

FE
 
So funny you say that 15 feet from the grow door is full size punching bag. I am sure I could find the rocky song easy enough with today's modern technologies. And actually I shouldn't care because the strain is a bonus at this point. The PC is the want.. my little delicate flower.. she gets Mozart.... white gloves and ... no!! no gloves I said before don't touch her!!!...my precious! lol

FE
 
Everything looking good and that PC is a beauty! Keep up the good work FE, cheers!

Thank you SAN.. I appreciate your visit...Yes she does and I take no credit for it... All I did was what I was suppose to do so far. Just getting a little Med on so I can go change ALL the tubs tonight Veg and Flower... I always like to see how they respond with fresh nutes a day or two later;) Takes some effort to motivate to do it .. Tried to buy another 6 inch fan from hydro shop... how do you run out of cheap 6 inch fans.. anyway ordered one from that online giant to be delivered monday...shipping it 4 time zones away in 48 hours for 11 bucks... I don't think they made a profit on that one...

Ok motivate...

See yall later ..

;)

Refresh!

Time to swap all the tubs.

First though I did a normal run through testing..

Stats!


IMGP07591.JPG



The tubs needed the change.. Not horrible on the stats just they where low and stuff... Thats why stuff was really high. Kinda expected it... I have been running tubs only half full so I have to add water more often but the roots have liked it alot. A good air gap in there. I don't want to go through a drowning again.......


Lets start some Pics...

The frosting on the flower tent is delicious. Even the N1's are getting a frosting that never occurred on the last grow. The defol on the N1 is much more noticable in the pics. It actually so far didnt seem to hurt it.I am sure stunted but it looks good and air flow is much better as I added my veg fan into the tent after the defol. a new one will be here tomorrow for the Veg.

The PPM's a couple hours after the fresh...


IMGP07602.JPG


PPM's are a little lower than previous on purpose.. I am scheduling in a cal mag add in a few days.. 25% on nutes and normal on rest but this grow in flower I am using the bud candy as my nutes. Well upped that and dropped micro and bloom some. Thus all the frosting ;)

The TW and WW are starting stretch and growing nicely... Good call to put them in here so far. They hopefully will grow more manageable and I will pop clones soon...

So I better get to VEG....


IMGP07451.JPG
IMGP07472.JPG
IMGP07461.JPG
IMGP07481.JPG


Everything is great. Growth on the PC-A is huge. If i through it in flower it would take over the whole tent. So I am eying her only for her clones. As soon as the WW and TW can give me some clones then all the PC's here get sacrificed... SHHH don't tell them they will do something bad...

The DCC and BK go into flower next so the PC TW and WW clones will be in veg next to see who gets the flower slot next ;) Then maybe clone sacrificing again. If this becomes my method for doing this then I am gonna get real good at cloning... My last clone run kicked ass so if I just replicate that. I always take extra clones from what I need so if i run 90% success again i will be thrilled.

So I guess thats it... Tried 3 time last night to do a post and the site would crash uploading and couldnt get back on for awhile.. I gave up.. hehe

Have a good one...

:peace:

Both Tents look good FE. I do not think that the defol on the N1 will hurt it. You did the defol on the bottom and went up. That is what is supposed to happen. In a week or two you could defol again going up the bottom 2/3 of the plant. I looked into this a bunch and for proof look at Doc Bud's thread. He lollipops the crap out of his once they are into full on bud production. I am not going to go that extreme but it shows that once the stretch is over you only need the fan leaves to provide energy to the flowers. Therefore you only need a few fan leaves. At least that is what I have concluded. Of course I have no experience to back that up, it has just been my observations.


I love what you have going on in the Veg tent. You are getting spoiled for choices in there. :) Great job managing those clones. Keep it up and you know I will be lurking. :)
 
Looking very nice in all your tents... +rep

Question if you don't mind... In your flower tent you appear to have a skyscraper; that one tall girl reaching for the sky. How close is she to your light (looks pretty close in your pics, but hard to tell exactly)?


Great question.. WAY TOO CLOSE!

about 5-6 inches and I know it is suppose to be like 1-2 ft with LEDs. I was glad it didnt grow beyond it. I have been watching and have seen no adverse effects so I didnt bother with LST cause the stretch stopped short of light. Good question! Another day or two of stretch I would have tied it down but I wanted straight up cola's so more light can get around them. At least that was my theory.


Thanks for looking CG

;)

Week 6

10-26-2015

PC and N1's 6 weeks since flip.

still 2-3 weeks of bud fattening... We'll see ...

So lets throw up yesterday stats....

IMGP07611.JPG


I did a project today NEW PC clones...

I destroyed this plant...


IMGP07622.JPG
IMGP07631.JPG


Such a shame she was sooo healthy...

Look at her roots... and i damaged some taking her out....


IMGP07651.JPG



She would have taken over the whole tent so it's like the matrix Restart the program...
I will just probably save the best one... I took 4 clones and ditched her. a part I will never get use to.. killing good healthy plants...

I forgot the pics of the veg set up and clone tub... I still have the two topped PC's in case cloning fails but I am confident.. I think..Oh well I post enough anyway... You'll get to see them soon enough.

I will need to add in clones from WW and TW shortly...they are still some days away.


IMGP0769.JPG


Plants are again different than anything I am use to seeing in flower... Maybe a little early on the Flower but they will be just fine and give me quality stuff on schedule.. I can feel it...

I am just as happy if it turns out like this as two plants strains...

IMGP0771.JPG


If these Cola's produce what I expect I will be pleased...

IMGP07681.JPG



The whole tent is in "good shape" after the nute swap a couple days ago...


IMGP07671.JPG


here was todays stats...

IMGP0773.JPG



I didn't add anything besides water but really need F3 up a little on the PH but let it slide.. I will add water to it tomorrow and that should get it where it needs to be... I am still following the half full tub rule and add as needed...daily almost to keep it there. Want that air in there... So far so good...

Guess that's it for now... Have a good night..


:peace:

Looks great as always FE. Uhm, just a suggestion. The 2x4 tents are very cheap and have a really small foot print. The light would be the real expense, but you could flower 4 more plants or up to 8 if you were to sog and use a screen to train the plants. That way when you get one of those great little clones again you can cut it up and throw it into flower along with a few of the extra clones. :) The extra bud could then be used to offset the cost of the light for the new tent. :) Just saying. lol (Stealth ship and make sure the wife is gone when the goodies show up. Works for me. :))
