The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

These are soooo cool! :laughtwo: They're turning out much better than I thought they would. They actually began as a way to use the scrap cuts.

Took about 45 minutes with "breaks". :battingeyelashes: Not a bad pace Girl. It's 3 AM. Take some down time, listen to some music and float through the threads for 30 minutes. Then bed!

Hahaha! Nodded right off. Bed it is. :laughtwo:

Goodnight. :Love:
 
Mornin Sue! Couple things....Looks to me that if you pulled those lil ones out of their cups you'le see they need to be up potted to at least one gal. pots. asap. you'le start to see funcky things goin on pretty soon if ya don't. Just sayin ok...get them out of those lil cups. Oh and Medfarmer....what Budmaster 2 do you have ? I've been using the 675xg for about a yr and a half now and just love the beast. Only thing is...when the canopy gets up there the BM 's. footprint won't cover it so that's why i throw on all the extras i have in there on. Have a great day SS. :circle-of-love:

Same as you mate the Budmaster II 675XG. My Fluxed NLxBB plants were grown under that with a Mars II 1200w also. They came out very well but I had good success with it on it's own too. I only paid under 500 quid for it and it was one of the last at that price before they jumped up to over 700 quid. If they had stayed below 500 then I would of had another one for sure. Instead I have 2 Mars 1200's in addition to the BM 675.

Thanks Duggan, and good morning. I'm planning on transplanting the bigger ones any day now.

Have a great day with your boys. :Love:
 
Gotcha Medfarmer....I veg. with the BM then add my other four LEDS at flip. They are two, G8 all red 90w, ufo's and two ,G8, 240w Bloom. The combination works stellar bud. They always love the ufo's. I can tell cuz the tops sometimes can be seen reaching a lil for them,..love to see their response to those all red babies! Have an awesome day MF.:thumb:

- Filled reservoir under no-till
- No-till pot got top watered to work in the top dressing.

Auto Destroyer (Day 81) This is as close as she's going to come to one of those "waves" of new pistils Graytail talks about, but there's not an area on this plant that doesn't have new pistils developing. Good Girl. :cheertwo:

image29557.jpg


See what I mean? More new growth every day.

image29558.jpg


African Buzz (Day 80) She's finally beginning to lose the spikey look on top. Pistil fade is progressing slowly but smoothly.

Cheese Candy (Day 81) Still vigorously growing. She's really breathtaking up close.

Yeah, not much "popcorn" going on under here. :laughtwo: :slide:

On to The Tiny Closet: Week 3 - Day 7


image29567.jpg


I noticed that Carnival had a curious bend to her stem. On closer inspection I can see some root nubs forming there.

image29568.jpg


I pulled out the reserve soil and topped the cup off to bury that piece. Hopefully I'm going to get some additional roots grab the soil solution. Oh goody! More stability. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I've got a few that need transplanted this week. More excitement. I need to finish my felt pots and get everything ready to go. Need to hit the LOS reserves with an ACT on Monday, so I need to get that rolling today.

I have these leaves on Cheese Candy that went all nasty, like they'd been burned. It confused me all this time because there's really nothing added to that pot that would do that. I'm perched here on the bed typing and looked up to see this and immediately thought "Brix Burn". I think I solved that mystery.

Well, I'm going to walk down to my favorite riverside restaurant and let them fix my breakfast. After a pleasant and relaxing meal I'll wander down to Office Depot and get my flow sheets printed up and stop at Michael's to get more felt. My big project today is to get busy on those pots and stick with it. And Callanetics. The body needs the tune up.

Have a splendid day. Many of you are blessed with outdoor gardens and I wish you hours of immersion in those joyful pursuits. Get out there and spread that joy everywhere you can. I'll do my best from here. :battingeyelashes: :green_heart:

:Namaste:
 
Sue , whenever i come over for a visit i always say to myself ...i'de really like to see you with some bigger plants...you seem to grow these lil farts only...what gives Sue? Why do ya always seem to have very small plants flowering when they should be in big pots giving you lots of joy, and i mean LOTS! Do you have plans to grow a real plant instead of these lil ones you like to covet? Cheers eh...Just sayin Sue...you know me ...go big...really big...fill that fartin tent up girl...open that thing to see some real plants in there ready to bust out. Cheers. :green_heart:
 
Oh , forgot to mention as well...is that your RH there at 38%? If it is ,try and get it up just a lil , to say 50-60. 38 is a lil low, just a little.No big deal but they would like it a lil higher that's all. Later girl!

Patience Duggan, patience. :battingeyelashes: I have Carnival starting in the tiny closet and she'll be followed by a Jamaican Dream, both in 7 gallons. I'll have at least one big Afghani as well in the LOS pot. Before you know it you'll be asking "how does she even get into that tent?" :laughtwo:

I'm mirroring Ziggy, with more mistakes it seems. Most of the plants I grow will be stunted but potent little lovelies. Best of both worlds. I looked at both approaches and decided I didn't want to choose. I wanted to have it all. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that. I may fill some SWICK reservoirs, but lift the plants above the perlite. I'm not sure that will do it, but it's worth a try. Let me do that now before I close it up.
 
That could be brix burn but it seems a little much for that - especially near the bottom of the plant which should be farther from light and heat. As long as the rest of the plant is happy, I'd pull 'em and keep going.
 
That should work Sue...wouldn't want all that H2O hangin around too long though. What you could also try is to lightly mist them all with whatever spray they could use....maybe twice as often but half as strong...know what i mean? That helps get the RH up a lil. Have fun eh! ......I lil trick i use when i spray the under sides of the leaves is to get a big pc. of cardboard to block the lights out while you spray up , into the canopy from below...helps keep the gooky sprays off the lights. Later.

It's getting the overspray from the Kit Girls. It probably happened back in the beginning when I had concentrations too heavy, because they've been like that for a while. I'm learning the "Less is More" approach to gardening.

Thanks Duggan. It would have taken the blonde part of my brain a bit longer to catch on to the cardboard idea. :laughtwo: That's some good advice on the sprays too.

I don't worry about the water in the SWICK reservoirs. It's all wicking up the perlite and evaporating, so it's not the same as a basin of stagnant water at all. It's very active. I think the pans I have in there that I'd been planning to use but changed my mind on will work well to raise RH levels. Nice broad surface area to evaporate from. We'll see what tomorrow's reading shows.

I was looking at it this morning and wondering when it was going to let itself burst forth and spread those wings. LOL! Planted any more seeds yet Sorenna? Huh? Huh? :laughtwo:
