Shottafire's Manic Organic 2kw Perpetual With Supersoil & Teas

[shottafire]

I finally busted ass today even though sick got the transplants going and veg is locked and loaded for another set. Its 7 bubba and 2 blackberry. My two agent orange got transplanted and my supercropped mothers of bubba and grape krush have many clones to be taken in another week. I am happy now all I have to do is water and transplant clones to 1 gallon nursery pots this week. easy peesy week for meesie.

The flower room looks great and my breeding project is coming closer to starting.

The sickness is lifting I think but I am not celebrating until the fat lady sings. or burps. hahaha

Man I am still sick and now I am to the point of coughing so much my back is screwed and this morning I woke up to coughing blood, great. I have not been able to smoke or medicate I have no edibles right now and I think this morning I am gonna grind up a gram of bud and try to medicate with a tea. Im in pain and this week has kicked my ass.

I am behind on a lot of work and it starts to get stressful when I am this far behind. double time and a sleepless night or two are coming this week if I feel better.

My tray at 31 days is having issues. It is second run super soil and the plants look like they are having a issue possibly magnesium is what I am thinking and may do a little epsom salt in my next feed on one of the worse ones to see if that corrects it. There is some spider mites present as well. how can I safely get rid of these things. I am more concerned about organics and not spraying the plants with harsh crap. That same tray was also treated with green cure to kill the Powdery mildew. That stuff worked for sure it also turned most hairs orange over night. I could manage the spider mites but that PM im not taking any chances.

My search for a male to breed bubba and grape krush with is coming close. Just cloned everything in veg and threw em into flower last night to get everything sexed for certain. I know there is a few males. Just hope the cross comes out halfway decent. I will do my best to pick what I would think to be the right one. question for breeders should I try to collect pollen from every male or find my favorite one and place that with my bubba and grape krush females to open pollinate the two..

the breeding will take place miles away from here to prevent any cross contamination.


Here are a few pics of the garden

bubba at 31 days 12/12

The blackberry is on the right at 14 days 12/12
the skywalker on the left is at 8 days I think

here is the potential breeding stock. I have the confirmed females in there 7 gallon pots there is three confirmed so far.

I need to do some organizing asap. I am embarrassed to even post such messy grow room pics but it will provoke me to get off my sick ass and fix it tonight. regardless of what I feel like. someone has to do it and the only person is me. lol

peace all and have a great sunday

So hoping you are feeling better asap.
Brother I feel ya so much on the PM, I have had years of PM issues and have had great luck now that all my clones are made by myself I havent had any more problems. I also have had great luck spraying the plants with a 2/3rd rec dosage of neem oil extract. I'll spray them a week before flip and once more a day or so into flip.
The other thing I wanted to mention is how much I like the idea of your breeding happening elsewhere. That and I'd personally put your favorite male right next to the female stock. Esp. if space isn't the main concern just give them a cheap motel room and let him have at them.
Sure will enjoy seeing the offspring. Hey early congrats brother!
Sorry bro I forgot to let you know I've even tried a sulphur burner and talk about frying some hairs, I could see someone using it as a preventative in veg.? But in flower forget it if its that bad I'd forget about it and start over if nothing else worked. I think it was that cut you brought in and its prob. now ok, now kill those micro crab bastards! And Get Better soon bro, wish I could come help ya when your down

Hey Shotta, May you feel better my friend, glad your back on track with your growing. I bet your girls missed your attention.
Best of behemoth buds to you Sir!

Good weed shotta, I hope you are on the mend. I have friends who only replace the soil in 4x8 raised beds once every three seasons. They have a homemade soil recipe and a bunch of em get together and share the work and the soil. The beds are amended in the years they don't replace it.............outdoor raised beds are 4x8 feet and hold two plants, they are two 2x6's high and are drip watered/fed. My buddys plants averaged 2 lbs/plant last year........his 46th year growing...........

I hope to harness the suns power one day but for now Im stuck between babylons concrete walls trying to keep the light from shining through the cracks. Its too bad that I dont have a nice savings right now a house just went on the market that would almost be in my range its a fixer upper but that is good for me since working with my hands is how I grew up making dollars. It has a couple acres on it I wish.

That sounds like a great setup 4x8 beds 2 2x6's high. I have raised beds but they are strictly for veggies.

Now that you are feeling a little better, you take it easy and make sure you don't tire yourself out into a relapse! Take care of you first, then the plants will get what they need from you.

So if that's your messy grow room, there are LOT of us that would be embarrassed to have you see our spaces

 

[shottafire]

Mainly the wires need to be organized and I need to fix a couple things. haha I am always talking down my room for some reason I know it is a nice room but since I started growing I always want to make it better just the way I am. never satisfied.

thank you though buddy.

Hey M8 it gets that way doesn't it. I love staying ghetto at mo though simply because me and the missus like our bedroom too much to go tent again for a while lol. It gets a bit tired when your in your front room on a mattress on the floor each night. My woman is very patient and forgiving but even she has her limits. I have found through 11 years experience; that its better not to push those said limits. Sorry for my little speech my friend just very high!

 

[shottafire]

no worries at all mate. I am going to send you something in the near future just trying to beat this cold.

Lol at least it doesn't look like mine. I think it's beautiful like you're plants. What's life if your not striving for the best?

so true. I feel I need to do a video soon to give you guys a closer look at the room. i was just in there and it is humming along and the plants all seemed happy. its been awhile since I have felt that way. really excited to start the breeding too. would love to share with you guys as well. the grape krush and the bubba will be getting sexed up soon.

 

[Dyold]

Subbed and Damn nice grow.

[shottafire]

looking forward to your flowers to start.

A few photos from day 32 in the flower room

My skywalker and blackberry are stretching for the light.

Mixed bag beginning the selection this week. took two clones from every plant you see here they all are going to make it once they all show sex im not sure if I should cull the males and let the females finish and hopefully I choose the right one to breed with. or should I take all the males and flower them and collect pollen from all of the males and selectively pollinate branches that are in flower.

Heres veg all ready to go.

cheer and good growing to everyone.

I would also like to thank each and everyone for the votes in this months motm contest. it means a lot

I will do my best to pay it back with more info and stuff like I promised in the beginning. its just this perpetual garden is a workload and it can kick your ass. I will be at 3200 flowering watts soon. to keep those footprints full is hard but I will handle it.

 

[Coke420]

Looks like paradise in there shottafire!!!

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Congratulations!
And I vote for "flower, collect the pollen and pollinate".

 

[shottafire]

Thanks cannafan.

I want to do the breeding that way too I am just unsure if I will have the space for all the males so maybe I will pick three
that way I would come up with six different crosses. sounds good to me.

decisions like these are hard for me since I want to do them all.
