Bluelabs pens? That's when you know it's getting serious. :clap: I don't have the cahones to buy those yet.

Lmao, I know eh. I kept looking at and wanting a Ph pen for 6 months now. I checked on eBay and Amazon and they've got some for like 15 bucks, so I wondered why bluelab is so expensive. And after researching and comparing alot of them. I decided what the hell, might aswell not cheap out on this. Since I didn't go cheap on most of my other grow toys. These couple oz of homegrown have cost me an arm and a leg that's for sure. But come five years from now my buds will be practically free. And I'm pretty sure that these pens will last long past that. (if I take care of them properly) anyways thanks for being here, and joining me on my adventure.

Mar. 19th, I wasn't able to get down to see them till late today. I'm just weighing and photographing my little ladies.

Ellabella day 54 : 6.8 lbs DRY
mar19ella6_8dry.jpg

She'll be getting a feeding tomorrow morning. Full line of veg nutes. She's getting a light hue in the Greens...you can see what a full 36 hours of no training can do. Thanks goes for Winnie too.

Winnie day 54 : 10.6lbs
mar19win10_6.jpg
total plant neglect for a full day is going to make my Sunday busy with training. Major overgrowth!

Leialoha day 46 : 9.6lbs
mar19leia9_6.jpg
just another few Millimetres growth, good enough for one day. I clipped a couple largest fans near the ends of the main stalks, to allow the shoots to grow freely.

Hope all your weekend adventures are splendid and joy filled. KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers
 
Mar. 20th, I did a half measured training session today. One, I'm lazy on Sundays and two I had a traumatic and dramatic event regarding transplanting a seedling. The soil clump broke up in my hand, I lost most of the established root ball.
:oops: Dang knabbit, double fiddle stix!! :oops:

Anyway on to today's lineup of lovely lady pics.

Ellabella day 55 :11.6 lbs
mar30ella11_6.jpg
Ellabella got her feeding today, I've got the numbers but it's a mix of g/m/B, calmag, silicate, and sensizyme, b52. Mixed at half strength in 2 litres of water... All ph'd to 5.8 at about 900 ppm. I let her dry out then did a little preening.

Winnie day 55 : 10.6lbs
mar20win10_6.jpg

She is exploding with growth, her under canopy shoots are stretching close to a centimetre in a couple days. Stakes adjusted and leaves clipped and/or tucked.

Leialoha day 47 : 9.4lbs
mar20leia9_4.jpg

a few major adjustments to her stance. I topped another end tip and fimed the opposite one. She still has no pistils so I figured why not, eh...

20160320_113648.jpg
Folding back her leaf stems to allow free growth of the new shoots. You can see I'll tuck them under the other growth or stake them back. Eventually they get cut, usually once I need to train the new shoots to grow horizontal.
 
Great work on this journal man. Love how well you are documenting everything. OCD approved. :)

Oh it's very sick mun! I love it already. Wild and wonky Winnie is proving to be a busty lady. I still got my sights on Stella' Ellabella. Wait till you see today's update. Thanks for the +vibes.

It may be Ocd approved but it's not Gf approved. Lol I'm spending so much time with my girls, training and doding the good ones while haranguing the slowpokes. There's more than meets the eye in the nursery these days. I got like 6 others that need attention aswell. I love it!

KiG :green_heart: thanks everyone.
 
Mar. 21st, the first day of spring! I can already picture my outdoor garden blossoming with wholesome veggies and fruits...and maybe an auto or two. Hehe:) I had a good nap before I dealt with these ladies today, I think it may be a good idea from now on. When I'm tired I tend to fumble around to much with the delicate branches to be trained. Let's get to the pics... Eh!

Ellabella day 56 : 11.2 lbs
mar21ella11_2.jpg

My Stella' Ellabella has overgrown her training stakes in just a day once again. She is keeping me busy as hell.

20160321_201852.jpg

Now! That's better :)

20160321_201903.jpg

I ponytailed her topped top topped top tips,(say that 3 times fast) this should slow them down some, I'm going to try to have them spread out over the lower canopy. As you can see she is very stout and is spread wide.

Winnie day 56 : 9.8 lbs
mar21win9_8.jpg
same goes for Winnie she's quite the tenacious growing mutant, I've got lots of adjusting to do. Other than her lion's mane which is a happy accident, she's cleared up of her wonkiness.
20160321_183252.jpg

Ahhhhhhh... :)

20160321_202132.jpg
I've been waiting for a top shoot long enough for me to get a clone cutting from Winnie. I'd prefer Ellabella, but I'll have to wait for those. This is my first cloning attempt since my very first bagseed plant of a year past. Let's cross those fingers.

I waited till there were 5 nodes working on the 6th, cut at 45° and immediately dipped it in water, cut the lower branches and trimmed the top leaves in half. then placed it in two brands of root hormone gels, placed it in a Jiffy pellet and is now alone in the propagation heat pad humidity dome.

What do I do about lightschedule for her. I've read one cfl, but I've also read keep them in the dark to promote rooting. Please advise.

Leialoha day 48 : 8.4 lbs
mar21leia8_4.jpg
not much to adjust on my darling child. Plus I needed to preen the others before her. Such neglect, I hope she doesn't give me grief.

Thanks for the support everyone.

KiG y'all :green_heart:cheers

I usually use 1 23w cfl 18/6 till they root then a 2ft t5ho thats about 100w after that in my veg cab ..
Click to expand...

Thanks rhettorikz, I figured I would do 18/6 or so. She's under 46watts of t5's... I'll. Switch to a desk lamp and cfl in the morning. Appreciate the reply...

KiG :green_heart:cheers
 
I am going to use this as a blueprint for the GSC auto I have coming. There will be a journal that mysteriously looks a lot like yours :rofl:, "all great growing is stealing" to paraphrase Piccaso. Thanks for all the great work :high-five:

:nomo:
when i am scanning journal titles yours always says Stinky King in my head, good for a laugh everytime. I am an easily amused serf. :tokin:

Great journal, Snid! I am loving how much documentation and effort you have put into this. I am definitely considering some LST for my plants once they've matured some.
Click to expand...
You should see the notes that don't make the journal. If I had major fluctuations in temps or humidity it would be noted here too. But things stay steady in the Tents and I just keep the soil ph checked daily, I could start showing those numbers, It would show my Ph swing. Also, about training I wouldn't recommend the amount of torture I've inflicted on the auto, but for photoperiods... Have at it!!

Immitation is the greatest form of flattery as they say. Hope you have a great grow and I look forward to the new journal. It's Stinky Snid's nursery cuz it the plants that stink not me, like the title would suggest. I should have put it Snid's Stinky nursery. Lol doesn't sound right, I know I would go into that shop... Eh?

Mar. 22nd, A particularly light Tuesday for me, got home early and got my nap in. Left the girls alone till after dinner. It seems no training is necessary today, stakes are holding steady.

Ellabella day 57 : 10.8lbs
mar23ella10_8.jpg
There's not much to report for Ellabella, she's just doing her thing. I released the ponytail before lights off, I'll do it again tomorrow at lights on.

Winnie day 57 : 9.6 lbs
mar22win9_6.jpg
She's getting very bushy these days. I think it's time to let her get some height before she reaches the edge of the pot.

Leialoha day 49 : 7.4 lbs
mar22leia7_4.jpg
a smile comes to my face each time I look at her. So much fluxing going on, it's ridiculous. I think I seen a preflower pistil today... I will confirm tomorrow with a magnifying glass.

Other than that all is as it should be in the nursery, Stinky and Green..

KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers
 
Mar. 23rd, Humpday today... Feels like I got a humped back myself. Long day at work and no nap make Stinky Snid' go crazy. Then down to the nursery to tend to my little ones, another hour of fiddling around bent over. Yeeesh, I'm exhausted. But relaxed and medicated, finally. :)

Ellabella day 58 : 10.0 lbs
mar23ella10_0.jpg

minor adjustments to be made when I get the energy to do so. She's going out fast, I'm gonna need to flower soon I think...

Winnie day 58 : 9.2 lbs
mar23win9_2.jpg

Dido for wonky Winnie, her growth is certainly accelerating. Them roots must be taking hold and are eating/drinking lots of goodies

Leialoha day 50 : 7.4 lbs
mar23leia7_4.jpg

Nice and level, pistils have started for sure into preflower mode, nodes are getting tighter too. Soon my friends soon.

Super flux, super flux, super fluxxy! She's a super flux. :) a'la super freak song..
