Shadowman's Ideal 420 Soil Grow 2014

[shadowman]

Hey Tamir, what's going on my friend?

 

[Colesdad]

Truth. I'm too lazy to go back and read.....

What size containers are you using? And, how much "cubic feet" did it take to fill those containers?

When I go to Lowe's I can pick up a bag of dirt, set it beside a pot and say, "yup! That there will do it." But it's hard to picture looking at a Web page

A couple of lush looking plants my friend. You done well with that training.

Those plants are fantastic. They appear to be getting better every day, really looking forward to the final product. Keep up the great work my friend.

Medi2 is in a 5gal. pot, 1.5cu.ft. of soil will pot up to 4-5 5gal. pots depending on if you start them in smaller pots and repot as they grow or you put them in the 5gal. from the beginning. I would recommend putting them in the size pot they will finish in from the start. You'll use less soil, less chance of shocking them due to transplanting and they will have better root growth and structure if they are allowed to grow in 1 container. I'm sure there are others doing it completely different but this is what I was taught and proven by example. Thanks for stopping in Colesdad.

Thank you MedFarmer, I appreciate the words of encouragement. I've learned from the best.

Hey my friend, How was your T.G? I ate way too much. I watered her this morning and she is really starting to pack on the trichomes and has about 2-3 weeks to go. Time will tell.

I'll have an update video soon, I've been having some difficulties uploading but I will Adapt, Improvise and Overcome all obstacles that I encounter in order to bring you updates on my grows. Check back soon. "Keep The Green Side Up"

What's your opinion on the amount of frost? Based on your previous grows, do you think they look worse/same/better?

Medi2 is Medijuana strain, my first grow with this strain did not have the same amount of trichomes that this run is producing. There could be several reasons for this but what I'm thinking is the biggest reason is that the seed from the 1st grow was genetically inferior to the seed in this current grow. Every aspect of this grow has out-produced the 1st grow by at least 50% IMHO. The buds are bigger, denser and have more than twice the trichome development for the same stage of flower compared to Medi1 (Medi2 has out performed in every aspect in comparison).

Very nice videos & pictures Shadowman.

Doing great my friend. Flushing in that small pan looks pain full. If you want I can send you some number 25s to put under your pot pan to make the flush in a 1/4 of time and no mess

 

[Colesdad]

Fabulous

Thanks 60cal, good to see you as always. This flower is so much better compared to Medi1.

Hey Professor, Good to see you as always my friend. It takes a little more than 45 minutes per plant. I will get some bigger pans but they are almost done and I have a bigger pan under Medi2 so it shouldn't take as long for her. I Thank you for the offer, if I had to flush her more I would take you up on your offer.

Fabulous

I'm digging on the video idea as well. The camera I have is 6 megapixel and can't capture what I want people to be able to see. Anyway after putting a couple of pics up, from my phone, the detail is worth using the phone for a little while. I'll keep the updates more weekly or semi-monthly. I don't know, but you can really see the trichs from the re-vegging frankenstein clones I just got into the medium about a week ago. I put new pics up if you want to see. Incredible to see the plant absorb the flowering process and revert to growing in veg again. Soooo Coooool. This plant never ceases to amaze me.

Oh yeah, your plants look awesome to the Nth degree. The level of quality your getting will be supurb to everything else, because you know what it took to get there. Nice feeling, right? I told you CFL's and floros could grow great bud and your my proof. Outstanding job my friend, I look forward to your future grows.

Thank You my friend, I appreciate the praise and confidence. I'm so stoked about this girl, in comparison to the first grow with the same strain, NO COMPARISON! Obviously a better seed genetically. Stand by, the best us to come. Thanks for stopping in Chinnubie.

I just got a USB Microscope and will post some photos late when the lights come on. "Keep The Green Side Up"

I'm uploading an update video and will post as soon as it's available. "Keep The Green Side Up"

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

Looking good man.

 

[shadowman]

Thanks Dusty, I was going to post some super close ups but the usb microscope turned out to be a lemon. I'm sending it back and have another on order through a different company. Hopefully the next one will work. Thanks for coming by.

I hope everyone is having a great day. Medi2 is 65 days in flower and very close to chopping. I gave her the 1st pre-harvest flush 4 days ago and will flush her again tomorrow. She should be ready within 5-7 days. The buds are more developed than the previous grow with Medi1 but they are still fluffy and some fox tailing on some of the bigger buds. Trichomes are thick.
