So I've decided to creep out of the shadows and finally start up a journal. RIU has blessed me with so much knowledge and insight from so many great growers. Nows my chance to journey into the greener passages.

4'x4'x6' grow tent (forgot the exact dimensions)
Scrog net
600w dual spectrum HPS
RDWC 5 gallon buckets
scrubber
3 part GH
SuperThrive

so much more just tryna finish up, the mrs. is giving me the hurry the hell up face.

12/16

Now for the back story of Lonely Girl. Through a mutual grower friend we received a couple beans, germ'd, and as rookies we couldn't really dial in or figure out how exactly we wanted to do. TBH it was more of scrambling for all the gear to run. Summer was ending and frost was approaching.... long story short too many males and Lonely girl was our only fem. As for what it was, never got a straight answer. "These are some good beans, bro, good vibes and love and she'll treat ya right"

Mystery #2 and White widow x Big Bud. The WWBB is still in a party cup would have to search for my log for exact age of both the plants

In the Summer I was running some Sannies outdoors KO KUSH, Jackberry, Anesthesia. 12 reg beans gave a few away and stood with 2 KOK, 3 JB, 1 Ane. Got into an argument with the wife came home to 2JB and 1KOK. Took em to a wonderful friend of mine and started up a grow off... turns out only Jackberry was a female.. Dummy transplanted during flower and she never bounced back and wilted... Lesson learned. That is why I say WE a lot. Now things look a little more professional and are starting to dial things in, have a lot more dialing to do. Once we have a few more grows under our belts we will look back and laugh. Thats when I'll hit him with the "you owe me a Keeper for killing my first lady"

Heres how the Veg zone looks as of 1/11/2014

Some shots of the Mystery#2

During early training I guess we pulled too hard and we had the stem split in two. Taped her up and she bounced right back. Look for yourself and tell me if she didn't

I would start lollipoping now on growth that won't turn into anything later on that mystery #2 that way it can focus on new growth. Just my two cents. But everything's looking good

Now for Lonely Girl shes a short compact Lil wench. shes frosting up really nice as well. As for smell, in the first couple weeks she smelled of Coffee (milk with 2 sugars :D) with a more sweet basil smell to it. Now shes ending week 6 and she has a more Piney citrusy smell



whole branches are bulking up

Tent stays between 75-82F lights on lights off 65F humidity @ 40%. water temps stay in the 60's. GH ppms for Lonely girl @600ppm, Mystery #2 @400, White widow @450-500ppm. In the near future a second tent for my projects will be running a 600w hps, few hempys and dwc buckets. Still searching for beans as we speak, looking for some chem mix. Thanks to Wyteberrywidow im staring hard at Pisces and Topdawg. Still got some white widow x big bud and a northern lights auto still collecting dust. might even go back to sannies for a few more beans. 2014 will be a very big year for the Rookie team lol

Hah, I wish. still run into a few hiccups here and there. Lonely girl survived root rot, not too severe but h2o2 did the trick. the temp of the water was at 75-85 did a diy chiller out of a dehumidifier did its job until it died... the res is outside of the tent now and doesnt go past 69f. Pro's to me are Flowamaster, the dawg, big worm, whodat, wyteberrywidow, fresh2death, etc. the guys I sat back and watched until i was tired of watching lol. I want to experiment with coco, I've tested the waters with Hempy and the growth is crazy, I wanna dip in some organics. time and experimenting will come soon enough. Thanks to this community I knew what to look for and how to spot early signs of "oh fuck oh fuck" I tip my hat to RIU.

As long as you're in the 215 sharing is caring..

yeah buddy! its on and poppin, Mrs. def understands now. We sat down and ran numbers, how much bark in this damn city cost. God forbid if i was looking for some haze (non-existent) it would come out to 450 an O. Then it would be more indica than a kush smacked with a wtf is this. Its just disrespectful out here. I miss goin across the Fordham bridge to Dykeman and getting that fire. this year I want the good shit and nothing but it.

Had gotten some piff from harlem one summer back that was lime green but had so much brown hairs, that the green wasnt even noticeable. we called it manhattan brownsville. by the 3rd hit everyone quit. potent as hell. pretty sure if it was through a bong it would be a one hitter quitter. 2k-2k8 was the beast-est time for ny smokers. I mean theres still some tough smoke, Im just being biased cause of the SOur we used to have. I moved so i cant comment on NY's smoke.

Looks great .I would think about cutting back the nitrogen on lonely girl, she has a very dark green color for that late in flower. Maybe up the ph to 6.0-6.1 to cut back on N but still give it what it needs ffor flower.
