Tead's Indoor-ish, Winter, Hempy, OGK, SOG

Since I've been singing love songs to my OGK, I'll toss out an example of why...
This girl is 16 days since the switch to 12/12.

I just looked back at this and thought further.
In my garden, she'd probably be at 3/4tsp per gal mix. This represents about 3/4 strength of the published grow schedule.
I'd probably bump it up to 1tsp on the next feeding (4day schedule). I'd probably try another bump after one additional feeding at 1tsp.

That's what I'd do in my world.... probably.

Thanks. I'm glad I stopped. :laughtwo: I'll take note and make changes. Is this because she's a hearty clone? That plastic produce bag method of TOAST's has them looking so lush. She should grow roots real nice.

Oh yeah.... Stunning OG. Keep singing. :battingeyelashes:

that OG is looking good Tead. How long did you veg her?
Click to expand...

Dunno... lemme peek back at my log.

8/20
Put OGK clone into bucket. OGK3

As I recall, she was a well rooted clone.

10/6
OGK3 2grow

This was her last grow nute feeding.

10/10
OGK3 2 bloom

Somewhere between the 6th and the 10th I put her into 12/12.


So, to answer your question directly, about 49 days from clone.

Yup... luvin my OGK.
 
She's a beauty Tead. So damn healthy. She is ready to burst!

I call it the "fireworks stage". All the little buds look to my eye like bursts of fireworks on a dark 4th of July evening.

They look like that to me too! I always love when it first happens. It's like the fireworks show is about to start!
 
Hey Tead. Another request here, when you've got time. I'm wondering what you think of my diy calmag stuff I made here- Anyone make DIY calmag?
Not getting many bites on the thread. Thanks. ;)
 
Took a clone for a little walk to a new home this morning.

Starting with a little double clone pot....

Held my finger over the drain hole. Filled it with water and gently worked the larger clone out

Held her in place as I filled in around her in her final home. Watered her in with my 1/2tsp basic mix.

Had to leave the other girl in place.... gotta find some more 2L's.

Walked everyone back to my veg tent

Entry from my text log...

9/30
Cut clones from OGK

So, almost a month... but she stayed way healthy thru the process and came out the end of it with some decent roots. Not nearly as long roots as the C+ clones and way not as fast, but just to get an OGK thru the cloning process is a significant achievement in my little corner of the world.

Tead's happy.
 
is there any noticeable difference in yeild?

I believe there's more potential for yield. Every grower, every garden, every nutrient regime is quite unique... so the answer is actually very gray after all. Some folks may be in a position to better implement one style of growing vs another. The variables are just way to numerous to even consider fully in a true technical way. Thus explaining why some feel it's more art than science.


does it work out more expensive then soil?

Perhaps. Gotta get a few pieces up front. Some buckets, a ph pen, perhaps a specific nutrient line, etc...
My garden burns my nutrient jugs at about 3mos/qt. CalMag and PH down last forever.
I use the Dyna Gro nutrient line... it's cheap and is a 2-part system rather than 3. Super lazy.


Plants look great man

Thanks!
They're getting there. The veg tent didn't get much light over the hot-ass summer, but things are sure picking up as I add wattage to the mix. Still seeing highs of 95f in the veg tent during the heat of the day. Outside temps have been 65-85 in the shade. Can't wait for more cool air to battle it's way into the swamplands.

Welcome along!

Hi Tead! I don't have any issues with heat here in Pottsylvania, but my brother-in-law grows in dirt and has his tent located in his mechanical room where his tent temps run in the 90s during the summer months. He can grow in that environment, but I sometimes see some issues with his plants during the hot weather. I'm not sure if it was a heat issue, but he hermied a feminized seed that I gave him last year.

Do you find Hempys a good way to go for growers with heat issues?

Thanks for the reply man im abit of a noob so still trying to find what works best for me and i like the idea of hempy buckets im currently using soil (have just started my first grow journal) but since reading up on hydroponics i feel a little limited using soil.. Ill sub when i can figure out how lol

No... there is no good way to grow in overly hot conditions. While one my suffer thru the heat using various methods, it's still suffering and you're always on the edge.

If one wishes to take advantage of the speed and production of a hydroponic growing technique while existing in a hot world, then one has very little choices. Any drain to waste system will work really. The hempies have the advantage of holding a small neut res at the bottom... thus eliminating the need for frequent (daily) watering. This gives them a real bonus for the lazy grower.

You'll have to pardon the poor little PC. She's been a victim of Tead's need to feed. Early harvesting sux... but the need is strong after all.

I've heard there is a real need to feed in the swamplands near New Orleans. Anne Rice wrote a few books about it :)

Every harvest that produces good weed is a good harvest. I do like the big ones though :)
