Things looking Amazing in there Vapedogg!!
Cant wait to see the harvest on them. Like how the N is leaving the plants at the end and all is yellow but still healthy. Dont think you could of done it any better if you tried.
Someone rep this guy, I cant again!!

On it.
For those who don't quite grasp the High Brix approach: the microbes do whatever the plant tells them to do. This is a look at how a plant grows when it has exactly what it wants, when it wants it. They change colors, they taste good, they swell up, they get frosty.
Oh.....did I mention they taste good? Just wait for the smoke report....

Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
Good morning! Okay, so it's 2:30 in the afternoon...I didn't get to sleep until 5:00 AM, so it's morning for me!
again brother! Doc is spot on in describing what's happening, but in the interest of full disclosure, I should say that the colors in the pics are a little deceiving because of the lighting.
The fan leaves are in fact yellowing and slowly falling off...in fact, I had another couple of good handfuls of leaves that I discarded last night. But they still have 2-3 weeks to go if the breeder's info is correct, and to me, in person, I don't think they are as yellow as they appear in the pics.
What I do is use my crappy little camera's flash while the HPS light is on, so anything the flash doesn't fully illuminate looks more yellow than it is. Honestly I can't say exactly how they really look, because I haven't pulled one out of the flowering area to look at it under some different lighting lately...I'll have to put that on my list of things to do around here. Today is supposed to be the last nice day for a while. They are predicting about a week of rain starting tomorrow. Cooler days are good for my temps, which have not been anywhere near what I've wanted, but also means higher humidity, but I digress. Anyway, I should have more time around here since I won't be able to do much outside. If I can get any decent pics better representing the colors, I'll post them.

Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
for the kind words! They are really starting to fatten up and get sticky and smelly now! It's been too long since I've harvested a crop, but now when I walk in the grow room I feel like I'm back in the saddle again! Really just hit me for the first time in this grow last night as I was dunking them!
So now, this is the part of my grows where I shift my goal from growing some dank meds, to just not screwing things up!
I did spray them last night...but there's really not many leaves I can spray without getting the buds. I'm not overly concerned though...as long as it's my microbial tea that I'm spraying them with!
Amaze and/or Bloomit might be making an appearance in my next run, but I haven't even sorted out what I'm going to do as far as container size in the future yet. As you can see 3 liter pots CAN work (Air-Pots at least)...but I feel like I'm walking a tightrope trying to keep the energy up. The moms are even more trouble since they are in smaller pots.
Right now I'm leaning towards the next smaller size of the 3 gal square white pots you use for my next run. They hold 1.6 gallons, double the size I'm using now, and I'd be able to fit 36 in my tray.
Thanks again for all your input!

You are going to have quite the harvest party, better pack a lunch, its gonna take you awhile
I hear you loud and clear on that one. Mine aren’t as far along as yours but I just want to keep the microbes happy with what they need.
I know out in mother nature or the great outdoors as they say they get rained on all the time, but I just can’t bring myself to spray the buds at all. Good luck with that and hope it goes exactly as you need it to.
I would def go up in pot size if you can. I know this round looks really good, but only you can really tell how they are doing with what you have been doing to them. My smallest flowering pot size is 4gal and I have to give extra attention to those way more than the large pots I have.
Can’t wait to see this wrap up for you with a bountiful harvest my friend.
So what are your plans for strains or strain for the next run?
Have a great weekend.

Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
bro! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the next few weeks! I never count my buds until harvest!
Yeah...I figure if I'm going to grow organically, I have to convince myself a little tea won't hurt the buds...I'm still not used to it though. I had bought a book when I started looking into organics on compost tea making. Apparently it's quite common for farms/vineyards to use compost tea to keep from having problems with PM or botrytis, rather than causing it.
I'm not at all opposed to bigger pots, I just need to find the sweet spot for yield with my setup. I really like the Hydrofarm square white pots...they have similar drain holes as the Emily's Garden pots, but are bigger. I could use 36 1.6 gallon pots, 25 3 gallon pots or even 16 6.4 gallon pots in a 4x4 tray.
Once I'm done with this run, I won't be able to start another right away because of the summer heat...my temps are barely acceptable now with the crazy weather we've been having! That's where the new room comes in...hopefully it will be ready in a month or so. I still haven't flowered the Super Lemon Haze or DP Blueberry...so the next run (in the new room) will either be all SLH or maybe both SLH & Blueberry. Not only am I dying to try them, but the blueberry is a bit finicky, and seems to really want to stretch, so I'm not even sure if this pheno is going to work for me...

Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
Thanks brother! I'm the only trimmer around here...not really looking forward to it either! To be quite honest, it's my absolute least favorite part of growing...
I started looking into the crank trimmers after my last harvest. Since then, I know Propa Gator just picked up a similar trimmer, and seems to really like it. I can't find anything locally, and only one sponsor has them that I've been able to find: Manual Flower Trimmer. $530 certainly isn't cheap, but it's imported from Holland, and seems to be very high quality. I've watched all the youtube videos I could find on these type of trimmers, SpinPro etc. and they seem like a godsend. Incidentally, the SpinPro can be had for about $200 less...I'm still looking around!

Don't waste your money on a spin trimmer. I have one and it only works on popcorn and it beats the hell out of them.
Uniform egg shaped buds work well with a trimmer, but the dense, nobby, gnarly ones I grow get beat to hell by the trimmer. They're not supposed to be shaped like an egg.....

Re: Vapedogg223’s Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
i agree, all the buds i seen going into the trimmer where sort off all ready trimmed with no small chunks of branch or side bits hanging off, so basically they was all trimmed except for the small buds leaves attatched to each bud, i didnt see any full or totally untrimmed buds go in, so to me it looked like you do most of the work before putting them into the trimmer just to finish them off, i did see one video of a decent looking one, ill try and find it, this bloke in the vid i watched just hacked aways at the branches and threw the buds in hole with the fan leaves and stems and it trimmed it all down, to me it seems like you could lose a hell of a lot of trichs been bashed around like that unless your aim was to make hash as the best part of the grow, it just seems a bit harsh to me, ok if your growing to sell but for yourself it seems a lot to waste and looks like you get a lot of waste that you dont need, ill try and find the vid i watched

Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
Hmmmm. I've been thinking about your choices on container size vs yield, etc.
How much do you usually get from your set up?
I get about a pound and a quarter from a 1000 watt light on a normal yielding strain if everything goes right. About 8 plants. I've gotten over a pound and a half on the last 2 grows, Lemon Paki and OG Kush.
Current grow is looking upwards of 1.25 lbs per 1000, but some of lesser quality. Gonna make hash with a good bit of it.
Anyways.....I ramble because I'm very, very stoned! Listening to some Zep, feeling very, very good.
So, back on topic....Use 3 gallon pots next time. Go the other direction and compare yield. If it's less, easy decision to go down in size. If more.....you only have to water 12 or so pots!
So now, this is the part of my grows where I shift my goal from growing some dank meds, to just not screwing things up!
I did spray them last night...but there's really not many leaves I can spray without getting the buds. I'm not overly concerned though...as long as it's my microbial tea that I'm spraying them with!

Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic - High Brix -Nirvana Ice- 49 Plant
Noooo! I was really hoping for an easier way to trim! In all the youtube videos they're saying it doesn't damage the trichs...oh well...if I stay stoned it's not that bad.
It's good to be stoned brother! I'm working towards that goal myself!
IV was one of my favorite albums back in high school...even though it was released many years before!
That Lemon Paki of yours was what convinced me to go organic!
How much usually? I just had to look that up...I don't think it would really make a fair comparison on yield because my old style involved topping and vegging for quite a while under various 300-400 Watt CFL arrays before moving to the 1k HPS for flowering. The most I pulled off was my last run, which was a staggered harvest. The first was just over a pound (500g), with a second 3-4 weeks later just over a half pound (240g).
That sounds like a good game plan. I'm not sure if I'll have enough money for all the equipment to be fully up and running in the very beginning, but I'll be running 2k in the new room...so I could always do some side-by-side comparisons once I'm fully operational.

Sounds like your on your way, can't wait to see what you can do with a larger GR! I couldn't help but notice you talking about a trimmer, it reminded me of 4twenty4all's journal. He used a rotor trimmer called Satellite and he was very very pleased with the results, you could send him a pm if you are interested. He has also used Twister, Samurai, TrimPro rotor, TrimPro Automatic, and TrimPro XL and he says the Satellite is by far the best. He has photos of it in his last journal, it has adjustable speeds and blade position, and has three screens to catch the keif that would normally be wasted by other trimmers. The damn thing even has speakers on the top to plug in your ipod

The Satellite does look cool! I watched a few of the videos...but at $8995.00 on the largest online retailer I won't be owning one anytime soon!
The trimmers do seem to work exceptionally well on small buds/popcorn though...have I mentioned I hate trimming?

Hey everyone! I thought I'd add in a photo update, update! Yup...two updates! That's an update of an update! Sorry...I'm medicated!
Anyway...after the last update, we were talking about colors and the effect of the lighting...so I thought I'd try to take some with the light out, just using the camera's flash.
So, these were taken the next day. I went in about 10 minutes before the HPS came on and this is what I ended up with!
