Hope your room gets sorted. You will need a pretty good sized ac for that type of setup. Not sure on you location and the temps in the summer. I am planning on running four in the winter two in the summer. I really like the sealed room it gives you so much control its crazy. good luck as always and keep em green. +reps

thanks alot shotty, in the summer we average 90 in the heat of the day, i will run air cooled lights from 10pm to 10am. im hoping 4-5 lights with the a/c and cool night will equal 1 lb per light, 4 oz per plant. well see what the actual harvest weights are when its dialed or close to it

Sir, I just wanted to note that in the course of some of our tedius discussions I must have picked up some of your ideas in regards to your opinions on the subject of finishing plants, particularly, nitrogen levels. My plants that are finishing now are green just below the flowers, and I feel that I can move the green right to the tops at my will. Your ideas implemented have given me a new sense of control, and will benefit my finished product greatly! Thanks...+reps!

My pleasure sir, that's the thing I love about our home here at 420mag we all help each other get to be better growers, that and have a lot of fun

So another 20 hour work trip was completed and I got my 1 gallon to 3 gallon transplant done. Fun but hard work lol. I decided to give Sunshine mix #4 a shot and if it works as good as it looks and feels I am a customer for life. Stuff seams super awesome and has alot of good stuff that I like to ammend with already, gotta love the mycos they put in there.

The triplets last month (OG Kush)

The triplets last night which was day 27 from flip

So far so good and if the temps werent getting ready to change ALOT I'd have nothing to worry about
Gotta get some more air conditioning in and ready

I am not sure if the pics of the og's last month is correct or not, I'll have to spend sometime going thru past pics. Sorry if I am off on the time. I am very pleased with the way this round of OG is going, BIG improvement from the round that is finishing very soon. Anyone reading this growing OG? If so how long from 12/12 flip until chop? Tonight completes week 9 and the trichs are clear to milky. Gotta give em a few more days to get some amber in there. My patients want it super strong, kinda couch lock effects that for myself isnt what I am looking for. So what I will do is keep enough for myself and harvest it a little earlier. Once my Bay11 is available it wont matter as much. I do enjoy the Sative effect much more unless I am trying to sleep or have a rare day to just lay around
Peace to all ya'll

 

[BigIrishDoode]

i sit and lay around all the time,it sucks! but my knees are getting bad, i like my rare busy days more even if it frazzles me,the triplets look awesome! happy times

I know I'm far from knowing what this strain likes and what it doesn't but hey thanks for the compliment, means a lot. Now If I can keep em happy for another 5-6 weeks and get em into jars than I'll be one step closer. Did you see how the one plant has really wide leaves like its a different plant? They are all the same pheno cause they all come from one Mother plant. Not bad for getting one promo OG Kush seed. Reserve Privada did a good job with that strain IMHO

 

[Alkhemist]

hey there brother s1ing!

looking primo over these ways dude! OG's are looking just lovely i saw you mention possibly growing a white widow x big bud too?? i was thinking of throwing some in with my next grow.. interested to see what kind of weight the BB can add to the WW..
bro, your lady is UBER-fekin-awesome! although my lady is cute buying me other things like socks and undies and gloves for cold mornings (LMAO ) a turbo cloner would be MASSIVE!!
take care brother, all the best to you and your famz /|\

 

[shottafire]

Ok so you got the advanced mix. It is a good mix. I use the black bale of sunshine#4 they are very similar the only real difference is the advanced is charged with mykos and a starter nutrient charge. I will never run the soil with out extra worm castings and extra chunky perlite. I use 1 part extra chunky 3parts sunshine #4, and a half a part of worm castings. always add some mykos as well. even with the advanced I would innoculate still.

I think we can get you much more than an elbow a light lets shoot for two. I just did. blew myself away. here to help with your program if needed.

+reps dude

 

[BigIrishDoode]

supportive partners are awesome! my spiffy is responsible for most of my equipment,she sees i need something and then next thing i know i have it, blows my mind repeatedly, shes amazing,,,the ogs are doing really good they look strong we will see soon! im collecting gdp pollen regularly to cross with many things it will be fun

Yeah she's a keeper. this year will be 13 years together 12 on the books. Thats funny I need the things your getting lol. I really REALLY hope the WWxBB nd the critical+ take off and give me access to clones so I can grow em outside this year in a greenhouse and get some weight to get us all thru the next winter. this last 6 months has been such a struggle getting by and with like zero meds its been hard. Hopefully this will be the last time any of my circle has to struggle. I will keep you posted on how the strains work for me.

+reps dude

Thanks for the reps shotty. 2 per sounds like a plan I did use some additional mycos but didn't add any perlite. I thought with as much as it had I'd be fine but will on the next use. I plan on getting ten bales later this month and sounds like some castings and x chunky perlite will be on the list. Reps for the hookup bro, thanks. I think I will (when I can afford it) try some mexican bat guano on the first transplant and maybe some Jamaican on the final transplant before flowering. But for sure this next time I will add some worm castings and the extra chunky.

Thanks for the comments bfam, you better marry spiffy and lock in that deal, sounds like you got an awesome lady also.

So got approx. 1/2 of the room painted this morning. Last night I trimmed until 1am and did a little more this morning. The pics are of the 3 OG's and 1 Raw Diesel. All plants a far from optimum and there wont be any additional Raw D once the single one in room b finishes next month. I want to concentrate on the OG's and with the Cookies getting closer to being able to work with I will have my hands full with two strains. The one pic of two plants are the two OG Kush clones that had next to no veg. time, straight from rooted clone to the next day being in the flowering tent. Not bad for no veg. time but far from how i will be growing them in the future. The other pic is of the original mother OG Kush plant. Room b's OG's were LST'd and vegged for over 30 days and really show a nice potential for Mays harvest being I think 4-5 times better already. The OG Mother that was the single seed from tudes promo (reserva Privada) was cloned pretty heavily just a week or so before she went into flowering so I am not trying to make excuses for a light yield I just wanted to clarify what was going on. I didnt even want to start flowering but myself and my patients were in great need so I had no choice. The plants that are vegging up for Junes harvest they went into 3 gallon grow bags and were topped last month one time and thats it. I am going to try placing 12 of them in the tent without being LST'd and use that harvest for comparison. I am gearing up for a possible 4000 watt hps tree grow starting in May and finishing by the end of July. If between what I have been learning on my own this year with the OG's and great folks like Shotty and Vick who are growing or have grown OG before me I think it will be a true blessing to have access to that data, if we can get 2 elbows per light I will have enough to be able to really get the cabin where it needs to be and I will basically consider it a done deal, write an instruction sheet or a day by day week by week schedule and then I can stop trying new things and concentrate on plant health.
Ok so here is the Two zero veg. time OG Kush Clones 9 weeks after flip

There Mother that started it all, Thanks for that promo seed Res. Priv.

And a final pic to show how light I did this first round. I cant wait to see what the pic looks like next year when I look back at the beginning

Hey Shotty is this the bale you were speaking of?

Here is a pic of the cuts that are earmarked for entering into the flowering zone by June, unless the room is completed in the middle of May? June for sure

I did get some great results with the rooter plugs, last night I planted 6 of them and after looking at the calander it was 17 days from cut to fully rooted. I did see a root or two on Friday the 12th but wanted to give then youngens a little more time to establish a healthy set of roots before planting them. If the Turbo Kloner could end up getting plantable clones in less than say 10 days I would be really satisfied. Either way I will have enough clones to be able to plant 12 a month so each room can be restocked as its finished and cleaned. I am still working out a schedule on paper and am far from feeling like I gotta a plan, I'll get there and once I do and it's proven I will post it for others to look and or copy
. I should look around to see if there is any software out there that will work on my Mac? Yo BFAM what was the name of that one program you were mentioning?
Alright Ya'll have a nice day I'm out

 

[shottafire]

I use the black bale sunshine#4. That one is the same thing for the most part but with mykos and a starter nutrient charge.

I like that advanced stuff too

If your talking about the advanced mix, I'm not sure cause its my first time but I'm thinking I will like it and keep on using it. It's easy to get here locally and with no shipping charges, if it turns out to be what I'm looking for I'm thinking it's what I'll use.
The Advanced Nutes line (dont think that's what you were talking about?) I like them too. Pricey but so far I have nothing bad to say about them. If I didn't buy the 23L jugs I'd probably be using something else. The only thing I ran out of this round and haven't been able to replenish is the voodoo juice. I do see a difference and will get more when the accountant allows lol. Guess there pushing a new reformulated version. Sure hope its as good or better.

 

[shottafire]

If you look on your bag it is the sunshine mix#4 but it has advanced. those come in 3.5 cu ft bales. the same product. I get the bale without the goodies that the advanced mix has and i add my own. mine is a 4.0 cuft bale. We are using the same thing. no difference mate. Damn you bought the big boy jugs.

oh ok, I gotcha thanks.
Yeah I had some extra funds and at the time it didn't hurt lol. I'd do it again but I wouldn't buy the 2 part grow in those sizes. Duh oh well, I got grow for quite a while lol. I am very happy with the nutes I'm using but before I have to re-up I want to try a side by side with cyco

I'm going to look into the 3.5 Cu. Ft. bales to see how much cheaper it is buying in bulk.

Hey Shotty I'm not all caught up on your journal yet, should be tomorrow B.I.D. has a coco thread Lets Talk Coco! Organics & Saltsand I will be sharing lots of what I'm up to with amending and feeding my mix there. Anyone wanting to know or share info on coco thats the place. I will be working with the sunshine #4 and adding some goodies

 

[BigIrishDoode]

i got smoking results with my root plugs this time with the gdp i looked at the stems last week one had nubs, the other nothing and the big top had too much root powder and was rotting,i recut and just shoved it back in thinking it was a goner,today all 3 have hella roots 3 inches long! a total time of like 9 days from cut! i misted them with bpn seaweed when i did the recut,,hmmmmm

Glad to hear it bfam, it took much longer for me with the plugs but I dont get to show em love as often as you do so that might be a major reason why it took mine a week longer than yours. Maybe the day in between misting or moistening could be a negative. I'll get it down eventually. Anyone looking into DIY aerocloning mcloadie has it going on there and is getting some smoking results

[BigIrishDoode]

to be honest i neglected them this time really bad,i think i told you i killed all the hbd seedlings 18 of em' the tray went near dry,to hot lights all wrong, so i really dont know why they rooted so fast,the seaweed maybe, the last 2 off the same mother took the usual 12-14

 

[BluDreamZ]

Sub'd. I'm on my first run with coco. So far so good.

 

[s1ingblade]

Thanks BluDreamZ, glad to have ya, welcome::
This is a great place to learn how to grow or how to grow better and a lot of fun, the people here are the best in my honest opinion. Nice to meet you

 

[s1ingblade]

So close to eight hours over three days to trim up the four plants. The quality is decent but the yield is way low. Overall im pleased with the outcome seeing two were zero veg time clones and the others were mothers that were recently loned pretty hard. Next run thats in room b right now is about four weeks out so this time next month well see how much better i did or didn't lol
