Shaggie's Return No Mercy CFL

[shaggie-420]

thank you George thank you for joining
well im back from the trip... fast....
i havent had time to take good pics yet strugling with the cammera
got home eager to see the girls... opened the door and damn they grew!
pulled them out to get a good look knowing that the purple haze was a girl i was happy to see nice long hairs already starting to explode the Ak "dalis girl" is perky and happy as hell...
and for the first time in 7 years from seed i got a male! and the one i was hopeing for to... the KG4 male will go on the porch till i get it to the shop.. it looks like a great pheno (thank god) out of the dozen seeds of the KG4 i have grown this is my first male. ill let him grow and get some pollen.

and then there were Two!
gave the girls a nice healthy feading
2 Tbsp of VE Bloom
1 1/2 tbsp VE grow
4 1/2 Tbsp FF Big bloom
1 Tsp AO kelp
5 ml Hygrozime
in 2 Gal Ro water

my night temps have been 65-70* and days are steady at 92.1*
Night RH% is 10-15% and days are 40-50%
even though we have been running a no mercy grow we will go ahead and start our "Bloomin" count here... some people do this differently on a no mercy grow and to each their own. i do it this way because it gives me a better count on the "Actual" days of flowering. this would put our girls at 5 days from Showing and 29 days from seed.

Got to love No mercy growing 30 days from sprouting seed in a cup of water to a flowering plant just begining to spread her legs... its a beautiful thing.

ill get pics up soon lights on in a few
untill than green dreams

the Beautiful Purp Haze

and than our healty little Boy who is Very happy sitting in this 90* weather on the poarch (side note this is the best pic i could get of the male preflowers as its from my blackberry.... the macro lens is in the shop)

on another note the KG4 male has been up rooted and transfered BACK in to a small cup.
didnt even seem to care as it is still exploding with growth.
because im just taking pollen it doesnt need to be in a large comtainer.. i will bonsai it for fun. and when its ready pull my pollen.

[shaggie-420]

K! time for more pics of the ladys.

and with the with the dude out of the room we have some great girl on girl action.

and here is Happy girl

and Dalis' girl

thats all for now on the pics ill have more soon.
we are now 31 days from seed
temps are rising a little highs being 96 and lows around 72
RH is still low at <15% at night and around 40-50 during day.
the girls are in their stretch now moving the lights up about an inch a day so far still keeping them with in 2 inches from the plant.
in about a week i will pull them back out of their enclosure and take some lower branches off of the ladys and turn them in to clones for a nother run before my honeymoon... got 3 months! think i can make it?!?!
any takers?
as it is i am estemating my harvest to be between the 11the and 18th of july....depending on the trichs it could be as late as the 25th...

i have room for 2 more ladys...
i think i can do it!

Ideas any one?

 

[shaggie-420]

Ok well heres some more pics...
these are day 32 from seed
i striped the bottom scruff and took clones of the Purp haze

the purp haze

Ak

and from the side

the purp haze before skirting

and the purp haze after the skirting

and here is the node structure that is left

the Ak didnt take much to skirt being a clone pics didnt come out
also figured id take a pic of the nutes that i am using

and the Mycroizen

alright enjoy please feel free to ask questions.
peace

 

[shaggie-420]

well its been a moment sense i posted.
the girls are very happy and have doubled in size being just about 2 weeks from showing me their sex they should start slowing down on the stretch looking at the last pictures i posted there has been a big transformation i love it... the Ak i can completly see how it is going to be beautiful.. i love 12/12 no mercy clones.... the node structure is so much tighter
the Purp haze has a wider node space but it is a beautiful strain.. i really hope i get the bright purple.

i will be geting pics tonight and will post tonight.

 

[shaggie-420]

well ill keep going than.
please feel free to chime in company is always welcome!

lets see where are we:
Purp haze 42 days from seed and 16 days from showing sex
AK clone, rooted in 7 days and 18 days in 12/12
as you can see clones are faster.
in these pics the purp haze was begining to droop i dont normaly let them get that dry.
guess it was hot in town over the week end. let the wife take pics while i fed them
she loves it when i take them out.
the feed today was
2 1/2 Tbsp VE bloom
1 tbsp VE grow
4 Tbsp FF Big bloom
this is Per Gal. they took 2 gal
here are the pics
the ladys AK(clone)on left and Purp haze (seed) on right

the AK and a random branch

Purp haze bud porn

 

[shaggie-420]

and more....

as you may see i got a small light burn on the purp thats the risk with cfls not worried bout it at all... not like the HPS it would be dead i doubt it will even stunt it.
hope some people are still enjoying by thread as it will start to pick up
Peace

 

[shaggie-420]

mmmmmm Any one like bud porn?
well theres more comeing

 

[shaggie-420]

well i said id post this...
this is the hydro mix that we use at my work its been being used for quite a few years and has great results.
it is not a cheep mix and that probably the only down fall

PLEASE NOTE that phospho load is scary.....every time... but it definitly keeps them shorter
i personally think it works better than bush master. as long as you NEVER put more than 20 ML of Phosphoload to 10 gal water you will be fine
any questions please feel free to ask

some random pics to follow.. opened the door and the girls were sparkling couldnt help it

 

[Spike69]

Learned the name of something I do to all my plants --- Skirting--- never
knew it had a name but thats why we are all here.Thx Shag!

 

[shaggie-420]

hehe ya my buddys call it rapeing....seems to violent id rather lift their skirt!


PORN!

enjoy your week all

 

[Jozo-sha]

Well, that certainly might be something I'll investigate after this current grow; not sure whether 'skirting' will be needed with 12/12 from beans!

 

[shaggie-420]

ya its not nececaraly needed for a 12/12 no mercy .... i did withe the purp haze from bean just because there was some scrap branches that i didnt want to have sitting there... they are good for clones... the cloned AK i didnt touch cus the node spacing it tight all the way down...... i like to concentrate the bud growing power to the top.... the AK will be a Full length Bud of a foot i bet.... the purp haze wont due to the simple fact that it IS from seed.... the purp haze clone on the other hand will be
its all trial and error

thanks for joining Zombo hope you stick around

i love looking in the box when i get to tis stage in a grow... so much change every day.... almost doubling every day!
i made a Co2 generator last night and have it set up to trickle over the leaves now
it will be fun to watch them ramp up in growth even more!
i will probly start having bud porn just about every other day at this point just to show how rapid a no mercy grow goes
hope you all enjoy might be tonight or tomorrow morning
have a green weekend and a happy Fathers day to all of you that are!

 

[OldMedMan]

purp

ak

 

[shmicky]

ur welcome pal, in for the ride as you time scale is near on the same as mine lol, lookin good tho!!!

 

[shaggie-420]

opened the box to day and was suprised at the level of growth in just one day on the purp haze
Yesterday

Today

the pic doesnt do it justice...
the Ak should be ending its stretch as it is now the same height as the Purp.

temps in the box are still a little higher than i would like sitting at a solid 91.2*f with 52%RH
nights are at 69.8 and a 32%RH
hasnt budged in weeks....
ill get pics of what i did to ad Co2 to my box its very simple and works well for the size i am in
next up date i will have better quality pics for ya! all of the pics posted over the last week are from my cell.

 

[GMT1975A]

Hey brother, like the setup. Your plants look as though they do too. Your high temps should be ok with the addition of CO2. I heard that over 70% of a plants growth is attributable to CO2. More CO2, more growth. That will probably be our next major addition to the grow. I just need to find a cheaper and consistant way to supply them with more CO2. Keep em green brother, all looks great!
