That's about it....
Roots look kinda discolored but the GH nutes I think may be the reason.. or just crap happening in this one as it was freaking out.

Not a great yield but I am glad I harvested it was starting to hermie just like the last one. Wonder how many seeds this time. Oh well I have no more clones running of this crap nor do i ever plan on using any of the seeds... Bye bye.. No big deal I'll gift it or use as emergency stuff... Gonna hafta work on my long term storage process...

Cola's are getting big... 1 more week at the minimum for a week flush as I swore I would adhere to on this one.

The TW and Ww are kicking ass now stretching like crazy.. Funny to want to keep them slim and tall.. I keep finding myself wanting to lst them now but i need to keep it to leaf movement only... PC harvest in a week then those two next... Variety starting ;)

The TW and Ww are starting the center buds.. along with the growth..

Ok so I am forgetting stats.. and it is 3 days worth. Played it risky and didn't check em last night i was too busy trimming....

So let's go talk about some vegging plants.... I got a slight issue....

IMGP0831.JPG

IMGP0819.JPG


So this issue is... The two Pc's in the back are huge .. Funny when I am learning perpetual it is alot different than a straight up grow. Those are like hurry hurry.. In a perp. sometimes it's like slow the f down please....

well all i want those two for are in case my clones die.

IMGP0817.JPG


Two WW clones and TW clones as well as the 4 PC's. Just need one of each strain to pop root gods please.. any day so I can ditch the two hungry ladies that are running my veg tub empty... well not totally but they are drinking it up!

My clones hmm Should have popped today.. day ten... They are still looking great so I am not too worried... yet...

The DCC and the BK are looking really big.. hard to notice in front the two big girls but they are way bigger than the TW and WW when they went into flower... I was going to wait til I harvest the PC to throw them in but Instead I'll check the schedule.. maybe this weekend. They are not topped and these two I do not plan to...
Wanna see them christmas tree for Xmas ..lol

Well I guess that'll do for now.. That'll do...

:peace:

Funny how things work out sometimes...

11-8-2015

So the last couple taken stats to follow...
I skipped last night as I was too busy with RL.

IMGP08381.JPG


So you'll notice a new flower stat!.
Yup the F2 tub is back with new tenants! but we'll get to that... F it lets go to it....

Take a look at flower now...

IMGP08431.JPG


That PC is f in delicious!

IMGP0844.JPG
IMGP08472.JPG
IMGP0848.JPG


It is swelling like crazy! I have zero complaints so far! It is in flush like 4 or 5 days and it hasn't even shown a lot of leaf issues yet. She was stocked up on the nutes I guess... I am very looking forward to this chop!
10 weeks on one strain it will be the first new strain for awhile for me..

So to follow the PC only like 4-5 weeks from harvest the WW and TW are in stretchola!

IMGP08462.JPG


And here are the new tenants!

IMGP0845.JPG


Oh yah they are buried as you can see.. Getting light but the only will have to deal with the PC for a few more days. The pc grew so tall. the other strains I do not think will do that as much. I also am chucking stuff in Flower fast to keep them to respectable sizes.. If I was correct the WW, TW, DCC, and the BK should never get nearly as tall... But,.... speaking of that... after these go...

I got an issue...



IMGP0842.JPG
IMGP0841.JPG
IMGP0840.JPG
IMGP0839.JPG


Still no roots on any clones.... The veg tub is just holding the PC clone as the JIK plant... So I am pretty surprised the clones are looking fine still.. some wilting a tiny bit but really they just arent getting roots. Last night I added some more root enhancer and DMZ plus added extra h20. If they dont pop soon I will not have adequate time to veg them before flower... May set me off my perpetual a week or two... Really surprises me actually because the clones all look fine just like they are content to just drink through their wounds... lol

Perpetuals I am learning are tough to keep on a schedule. Everything becomes approximate stuff...There are just a lot of variables... I just didn't think cloning would be the issue. I had great success cloning the PC already.. a few harvests down the road the timing won't be as critical.

Anyway... thanks for stopping by...

:peace:

Wow, those flowers look amazing; fantastic work!

Question if I may -- I see some "white spots" on your flowers in the pics... Is that just the light, or do you have some bleaching (or maybe its just triches)? Just to trying to understand what I'm seeing :)
Click to expand...

Thanks for asking and showing interest... and of course on the compliments..

Not totally sure what white you speak of (the big pc?) but yes the tric's are still very white... just now starting to get some brown on a few pistils... the TW and WW smaller plants are getting center tiny cola's with pistils forming now..
back to the PC tho it is frosty all over.. like white sticky icky dot's. I shut off my LED to take pictures but MHS is running behind me and that does f with the pics too.... and yes there could be bleaching... I wouldn't know if I saw it cause it is hard to see colors well in there (glasses come today) We'll see if the next pics are better...

I woke up this morning ready to chop the PC... calm now ...calm.. meds helped... I have the N1's drying in my best drying spot so that is holding me back and that is good.. pc will be a week flush like wednesday.. and it is still swelling a LOT now so the results will be improved a lot from just a few days..

Funny how "weed" grows... Sometimes you rejoice if it's leaves lift up some.. Sometimes from 1/2 inch growth in a few days.. Near the end after the long haul.. months... the last few days it is growing huge ..fast..big... Those last few days can really make a difference I believe..And of course right now is where you decide on the tric coloring if that is how you base your harvest.

Thanks for chiming in... I feel like my thread is getting quiet. Does that mean I am doing it right...lol or am I just boring ...lol

:peace:

I actually looked closer at the PC pic and I see the spots you speak of.. I have no clue.. I think it is a camera thing... I'll check it out tonight...when the lights pop on.. I really struggle with the pics. Hope using glasses will help.. I am pretty sure that is what it is...

FE have patience with the clones, i thought there was no hope nothing was happening etc.. then boom i see roots, then next day i see tons of roots. Just let them do their thing till they die or grow
 
FE I am so happy for you bro! I am on pins and needles waiting on a smoke report about that PC! It looks and sounds so awesome. If it were me, I would say if the buds are continuing too develop then do not chop. But I would also be looking at the sugar. If it is still pretty clear and still growing no chop; if 50/50 clear/cloudy and still growing no chop; if there is a bunch of amber then I chop period. That would be my strategy for the harvest. Anyway it looks great and I doubt you could make a bad decision at this point.

I haven't been active this weekend or I would have been by sooner. But your journal is not boring and the girls look awesome. :)

Thanks Gooch i appreciate the inspiration. I think I figured out the delay and well.. Noobism again... Water too high.. now it was below all the stems but I think they are getting too wet... I dropped the water yesterday a bunch! I think some of the clones have stem rot... Going on like 14 days on some. Funny they are hardly wilted.. So I recut the ones with the rot.. Pulled a really big new clone off the PC and popped that in... what made me think of this was rockwool will keep things moist but I lost clippings before with rockwool and over watering. So I figure the clone stems dont need to be drenched. Just can't dry out... Thats the approach I am now leaning towards. My last clones where so easy.. maybe I didn't think too much about water height this time.

Maybe i just need to make a fogger like me and Bama where looking at...


The Ww and TW clones are not rotting and I actually think one of the WW's has some bumps...starting roots. So maybe WW will be in flower next again... Losing grip on the perpetual though... Probably won't matter though. I hopefully will be stocked up and a few week delay shouldn't be a big deal.

I am still learning and have a decent grip on this considering My first grow since teenhood was this past July. But still way learning...

Thanks gooch again for the inspiration... With a full healthy flower tent (5 plus) I really am not overly worried. Another week though and i will pop two beans if I don't get some clones to take by then. Still plenty of those.

:peace:

I know you are a regular Bama and i thank you for that...
I appreciate the kind words. I will most definitely post on the PC smoke report. I agree on the harvest if it is still swelling i will try to wait.. unless it gets really cloudy trics then it is gonna happen. I didn't check them tonight but I have a suspicion it is close. The buds are still producing but the pistils are changing colors.. Most nugs have a mix of white/ brown now. No earlier than Wednesday as i have the N1 still drying but plan to jar it up then. I think the harvest on that was early and lighter than expected but I kept it from hermieing too bad. Most nugs are popcorn but seed free. It just needs to sit idle in cure for awhile anyway. I am smoking some nugs I pulled from it weeks ago during a defol. They work but not too fond of the taste anymore.


So I got a good solid pair of shears from scramazon and I have to say they feel really good to clip with. Looking forward to the improvement there. Watched some more vids on trimming... I am going to go real slow on the PC harvest to improve my skills some. I have rushed through the first two I have done like I need to have it done right off.. Gonna jam the tunes.. Relax.. medicate and have some trimming fun...

This week! .. Pretty stoked...

I have mine completely submerged do you have air being pumped in? it requires a very oxygen rich warm envirnment, what is the temp in the res? are you using a solution or just water?

68 degrees avg.. Gh root enhance and Dutch masters root zone. Lite very lite GH nutes.. 300 ppm total added with all hitting 345 with my water... Yup pretty good pump running in there.. Really same set up as I did awhile ago and had 7 of 8? something like that I forget now.. Clones been culled all over ... lol... That must be it... they know they all wont make it to flower... they are rebelling!

I am using an oxyclone
This was my very first time ever even cutting a plant, i had success now i am trying to duplicate it. But i popped 2 beans first same time i took the clone figured they might catch up with each other or i will take the new beans and use them as mothers and flower the mother i have now
 
well i can tell you i almost pulled mine and tried something different because it fealt like it was take so long but since the plant was not suffering other then a little wilting i wasnt concerned, i just need to leave it alone and let it do its thing, once it took off it took off big

That was the same for me last time. Day 9 nothing day 10 all had roots... So i have been sitting patiently. But when i saw some rotting I knew it has been too long but I recut them we'll see...

Referring back to the rockwool,, It doesn't soak the stems just keeps them damp. So I will try that approach for a day or two. lower water and getting them less splash. And then.... It's Fog...
I guess I was bored last night so I ordered a fogger for 10 bucks... should be fun to play with ;)

Have a great day

Thanks for looking -- I assumed it was the light, but it looked very white in the pics so I was just curious.

You got those method7 LED glasses? I love them; a must have for LED growers IMO. They will def help you see more true coloring.

Your thread isn't quite man. You get a lot more action than I do :) I made the mistake of over-extending myself on the number of grows I'm subbed into; which makes it hard to keep up on a daily basis. I could easily spend all day on grow stuff, but dammit I have to work for living to pay the bills... Stupid responsibilities ;)
 
Totally agree !
I subbed to like 30 when i first joined here.. had to wean it back some. But I did add yours ;)

So i cheaped out and didn't get the method 7 's but they do keep my eyes from hurting. I don't think it helps my pics though.. I'll do some more testing. I looked much closer though and the white spots where just a camera situation. Damn plant looks really good... Lunch tomorrow I will cut her down and finish the harvest tom night. I have to cut it during the day cause the lights will be on when i get home and don't want it to start its drinking...

off in a few minutes to cut up the N1 harvest. It's like freaking Xmas today and tomorrow!

Thanks for your participation!
