Ricky Bobby's - Soil - T5 - Sativa - SOG - First Journal

[Ricky Bobby]

Thanks Shiggity! Welcome to the journal. Have to check out your hunger games now!

Put some venus fly traps in the gr so snapped a couple pics real quick for the beck of it. No lights on just flash.

 

[Justalittle]

RB, what kind of nutes are you using? Do you flush at all during the growing cycle? Also it's just my opinion but looks like the LED can be a little closer to the old Moms. Good decision taking all that perlite out and replacing with soil. First thing I thought whe I saw the 1st pics is why so much? Looks like your figuring it out.

Nice grow man.

Well isn't that garden looking just lovely

Agreed!!!

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Good morning everyone and thanks for the compliments! Justalittle I have been using some cheap off the shelf nutes from a big box store. Basically a chemical 10-10-10 and the other bloom 10-54-10 but I picked up a new bag that looks a little better and has more micro nutes. I forget the numbers at the moment but it was along the lines of. 10-20-15. I add some epsons salt and molasses in with feedings too.

I may move that led down some now but didn't want to start off too close.

When the lights come on today I am interested to see how they respond to their feeding yesterday.

 

[Justalittle]

Cool RB keep up the good work.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

All organic outdoor veggie garden just got a second wind. Time to pickle some peppers. I've got about 5 times this in the past week or so. Love peppers!

 

[Ricky Bobby]

They seem to like their new feeding

 

[Budworshipper]

Just a smidge, they like their new feeding.... Looking fine in Talledega, my friend

I dream of doc buds kit, $60 to post it to the UK puts that dream on hold for the moment tho.

Production line is looking well

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Man, 60 bills to ship is difficult to justify on top of the kit cost. . . but in the long run, how quickly do you save that money and or make that much more money is a good strong grow? I never actually looked or asked but I am guessing the Doc is in the states?

Thanks guys! Couple of the girls had drank so well they were already bone dry again. I filled em back up with plain water. Will do nothing but water until everyone in the table as had a plain water feeding before doing any nutes again.

I actually think Justalittle asked before and I didn't answer about flushing, my girls in the table are not in pots long enough to require flushing if I play my cards right. I flush at the very end because I recycle my soil but that is it. Longer veg time would probably need flushed in middle but 12/12 right off the rip they are finished in10 weeks give it take

Hey ricky, think im joining the party at jussttt the right time. The cycle of life

Hey DW! I think I may have missed welcoming you to my journal! Thanks for getting in on the action.

Couple of the girls are needing water every day. Bone dry after 24 hours. Rest are two to three days between. I am lost how some drink so much while others are light eaters but just as big. They will all get another drink here in the next 24-48 hours.

 

[OlderGrower]

My GOD man, how were you able to take such clear close ups on those Trichomes? I love it.
Please tell me your secret.
OG

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Lol thanks OG! well I spent probably an hour trying to get those and probably 50 pictures. I have a 100x, 60x, 40x, and a 30x jewlers loupes and I was holding them over top the camera on my phone and letting it auto focus. These were with the 30x loupe. I want to try again with the 40x. The 60 and 100 are way to strong. I'm going to get some more this week I hope

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Despite my best efforts you can see a dog hair in that pic too haha Damn animals

 

[Budworshipper]

Cool pics mate... I need to get a new loupe.... You can get ones that clip onto a hard case... For iphone anyways...

Makes it easier to photo.... Been there with seperate loupe and fone...:surrender::surrender:


Using that loupe takes all the guess work out of harvest time, doesnt it ??...

 

[Ricky Bobby]

I have seen those for iPhone! That would be great.

Actually man it does help but I had to develop my own system. When I first started watching tric colors I waited and wait and waited for amber and it just never came and the buds had stopped growing weeks before and they were still clear and cloudy trics.let them keep going and did finally get amber going but ended up with budrot. So now I know that what I am looking for is as close to 100% cloudy as I can get and they get chopped. It does make a huge difference to track the trics and the pistils and the size all together to know when to harvest!

 

[Budworshipper]

Yeah man, the phone attachment is cheap n simple to use

100%.. Cloudy is still summin that will get ya wrecked, some girls just dont do loads of amber do they

Everyones got there on preference i suppose

Hows the ladies doing under the new panel ??

 

[Ricky Bobby]

They certainly have their own personalities from strain to strain.

The moms are getting big. They seem to be loving the new light. Stems are getting thick and I think they are prob halfway through their stretch. Probably end up another foot/25cm taller I think. Have great color and tons of branching and budsites. That will a real treat when I have those two and about 40 of the 2 liter plants all getting harvests at the same time. Ima be busy busy that week. I don't have any idea where I am going to hang it all to dry!
