Radogast's Hi-Brix Basement Grow - New Location - New Soil - New Experiences

[Tead]

I'm assuming they reused the exterior decorative ironwork.

We were in a 1870s brick triangular warehouse building earlier this week. It has most recently been a kitchen machinery graveyard. Working elevator not inspected in 40 years but was sent between floors unattended with heavy kitchen equipment. For sale cheap!

The reason I mention is that it had the original tin ceilings and several thick metal barn type sliding doors.

I don't remember any iron work, but I'm sure there was plenty, and yeah... they'd totally save and re-use all that. The building fell inward, so that would seem bode well for any gates and fencing. I'll try to remember to grab a shot of it next time I'm by there and see if you can spot the new construction.

I suspect the property was owned by someone with some local political horsepower. The reconstruction started almost immediately... kind of almost too fast for architects to develop plans.... kinda like maybe those plans were already in place before the wall fell. Funny.

hey rad i jus wanted to show u this re-veg girl ive been growing im guna grow her up to look like a snake so kinda like an s shape but ill keep going back and forth up,up,up lol this is my strawberry cake re-veg

Today there was so much good juju I was vibrating with excess energy - careful there Blazin'

Sup raddddd . Here to check out your grow. Wanted to follow all my hempy hooligans. Who also seem to be hibrixers. Sweet!


Big-gulps huh?
Welp see ya later!

See ya when you drop by next time. It's not what I had planned a couple of months ago, but then A LOT of my life isn't what I planned a couple of months ago. Things are shifting and I'm enjoying the changes

Funny. Things just seem to fall into place for cunning people

This last few months, I have been strongly reinforced in my preference for cloning before flowering.

If I'm forced into a monstercrop clone, taking a cutting once reveg sets in seems to be the way to go.

If I'm forced into a harvest time reveg again, I'll save a lot less popcorn - but more likely I'll simply let the genetics go. All this reveg - now back to flower - now almost reveg a second time just takes away my joy of working with a plant - even when it's the fault of me and my lights.

Now that girl above, she's growing great. 1 of my 3 clones in reveg (Lilly) is doing quite well. The other 2 of 3 get no special favors, water only unless they prove themselves worthy before I need the space for someone else.

I'm going to take a visit there now. Gorilla Seeds has to carry some seeds I want!

I've found revegging to not be worth it for the most part either. I saved my purple Malawi because it's a rare pheno and killer, but the degradation from revegging just doesn't seem worth the time and energy most of the time. It looks like you've got the hempies going smoothly. Keep it up.

Thanks.

One of my hempies, the Lilly reveg is getting seriously deficient looking leaves. Her clone is looking good, and she is woody after all this time.
Woody cannabis hasn't yielded well for me, too little growth in flower. If she is the only plant affected, I don't really care if I lose her.

I'll take some pictures when I go down to water tomorrow - I didn't have time to do much today except for watering my flower area.

First Harvest of Haze x Kali China

Today I did harvest, trim, bud was of Haze x Kali China


Ace Haze x Kali China(71 days) - Floppy , gangly sativa girl

Small buds. It was easy to strip off all the fan leaves

After the fan leaves. Trimming was fussy and slow due to weak branches,

A few of the buds look like this

Most of the buds look like this.

The buds were only 71 days old but the pistils look finished

The trichomes were all cloudy

I have some open space in the flower area - probably moving in the last two soil girls tomorrow.

In veg they all look fine except for my went into flower in veg, then revegged clone. As I said in an earlier post, her clone looks great,
I guess I could go look at deficiency charts, but she has the same fertilizer and water as everyone - including her clone.

 

[Graytail]

LOL, that Haze sure has the crappy bag-appeal look! Classic!

Damned PIA plants, but they're usually a treat. Not necessarily enough to run another one, but a treat. I eagerly await the smoke report.

I'm pretty curious about the smoke report myself - it finished in 10 weeks.

I'm hoping if I pack it into a smaller space it won't spread everywhere. This time, It just sort of lucked into a grow cycle with really short companion plants

Hey there Rad - Conrgrats on the harvest... always fun to see btms up & buddage!

Re-veg I've never got that to work.... I tried a few times. I pretty much always take clones at flip when I cut most of the lower branches out away from the soil line. Sometimes I even get clones to root in a glass of water the old fashioned way... foiler with Kelp tea on the re-veg plants see if that doesn't help some.

 

[weenmeoff]

Congrats on the harvest Rad! Small buds but what matters is how they smoke.

One of them is revegging and so growing slow as molassses.

The other has trichmes and a flower the size of honey bee - It's a hopeless case, so I'm just watching it suffer until Ineed the space for someone else.

 

[NorCaliwood]

Congrats on the harvest... She is alittle Viney huh... Maybe keep her up close to the fan in her life,, might help toughen up the stemage? I guess that comes with those genetics. I always try to stay away from them long ass recommended flowering times alot of the Hazes require. Usually don't matter,,, an 8-week plant needs 9 or so,, but sounds like your on the other end of that rule......... Hope she smokes as good as she looks........

A couple of days late on posting this, but they are plants they don't change THAT much in 2 days

Haze x Kali China- hanging there drying

I wondered to myself, is UltraDawg showing Sex? Is she big enough to flower?

Not showing sex, but growing into the lights again. She is big enough.

Her canopy isn't huge, but I figure it's big enough

She had a few low hanging leaves and twigs that won't produce much, but only a few left.

I trimmed off the unproductive lower stuff and put her into flower - no sex yet.

I had an open slot or three in flower, and the hempy are coming up close behind, so I also chose to flower the carnival in soil.

I like the way Carnival grows. Sturdy, Good yields. Happy smoke.

I'm guessing 2 oz in 60 days

4 Hi-Brix soil pots in the flower area: Guawi, Carnival, UltraDawg, Carnival.

All hempy in the veg area

Very nice rad lookn great as always hey I had a question I just germed two ultra dog f2 regular beans i got gifted to me and I was wondering bout how much of a stretch do u get off the u.d. after flip or is this the first time u grew this strain??

 

[Van Stank]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Rad, as well as all the USA 420 folks out there!

This my 4th u.d. I've started from seed. The first 3 were male, so I have no info on stretch. Tead is growing some ud crosses and has grown out ud, so one might ask over here ==> Tead's - Indoor-ish - Winter - Hempy - OGK - SOG

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Rad, as well as all the USA 420 folks out there!

Thank you very much. I've been in heartburn pain for 3 days, finally free of heartburn pain and tingling (as in excruciatingly painful tingling) along the arms.

Now I'm achy and grumpy- so I haven't decided whether to share that joy with the 92 year old aunt-in-law today or let the family go without me.

For my perspective on the puritans of "the first Thanksgiving" try readinging about Thomas Morton of Merry Mount.

Puritans: Those who want freedom to choose how they worship god, and also choose for everyone else.

UD is OG, chemdawg, and Aura ultra. I haven't personally grown any of them, but I don't believe any are real stretchers. I wouldn't count on it more than doubling in height at most.

Yea i found that out as well ill definitely be giving these ones some xtra veg time so hopefully I get a good harvest

 

[Blazinjones]

ok so i went in to the veg area to feed my hempy girls and look what i find sticking up it popped up in the last like 5 hours or so lol but yea this is the first one of my seeds to pop up from the strain i made i germed 5 and only 3 popped a tail and so far this is number 1 lol im so excited haha
