Day 6 Flower:

SAM_2604.JPG

Darkstar - Set to 600ppm 48 hours ago. Sitting at 580ppm now. Odd it dropped so little considering I had changed the res 6 days ago and set it to 600ppm with bloom food and about 4 days later the res was almost empty and the 600ppm had turned into 300ppm.

SAM_2599.JPG SAM_2608.JPG
Stinkbomb #1 - Set to 600ppm 4 days ago. Sitting at 350ppm now. Res is almost gone. Will change it tomorrow. Wonder if it will do what the Darkstar did and slow down on eating once it gets a fresh res.

Stinkbomb #2 - Set to 600ppm 48 hours ago. Sitting at 560ppm now.


See what im saying about the dark green leaves.

Day 54 veg:

SAM_2595.JPG

Stinkbomb #3 - Set to 400ppm 48 hours ago. Down to 250ppm now. Seems like the burned tips and yellowing is going away finally. This has be so confused. Was burning yet the ppm was dropping. Da fuck does that mean?

Stinkbomb #4 - Set to 400ppm 48 hours ago. Down to 380ppm now. Seems to be bouncing back finally.

Some of the new equipment that I got. I like the square pattern of the Blockbuster. Will work nice over my 4x4 scrog.

Looks like the phantom II comes with a dual outlet to work with sun systems.

Day 8:

SAM_2617.JPG SAM_2618.JPG SAM_2620.JPG
Screen is filling up on the Darkstar. Gotta put one over Stinkbomb #1. Stinkbomb #2 was a male so I chopped it.

SAM_2624.JPG SAM_2625.JPG
Stinkbomb #1 clones are getting very purple. The one in the 5gal already has roots coming out. Cut taken 7 days ago.

Grimace OG is coming along nicely.

Day 11 flower:

SAM_2626.JPG SAM_2628.JPG
Darkstar - 6.0/440 - Dropped it down to 5.6 which is what I set it to 48 hours ago at res change. Dropped 160ppm.

Plant is stretching a lot. I'll have to flip them when they are an inch or two below screen me thinks. I ran out of screen and had to put them on the outsides of the frame. Not bad for a first attempt at a scrog.
SAM_2627.JPG SAM_2630.JPG
Stinkbomb #1 - 6.3/400 - Dropped it down to 5.6 which is what I set it to 48 hours ago at res change. Dropped 200ppm.

This bitch is stretching a ton as well. Running new strains is like a love-hate relationship. Mostly hate up until new smoke. Some fat stems on this one. Definitely more Faceoff OG for sure.

Day 60 veg:

SAM_2632.JPG SAM_2633.JPG

Stinkbomb #3 - 6.0/440 (changed res 48 hours ago and set to 500ppm) - Dropped to 5.6

Recovering, new growth doesn't have yellow or burnt tips. As usual with all my plants seems to be a N toxicity going on. I think this will only resolve once I switch ratios as I check and adjust my pH often. I want my plants perfectly healthy, not just getting by. I want them fuckers to flourish.
SAM_2634.JPG
Stinkbomb #4 (Right side) - Really needs a res change - 6.4/240 - Dropped it down to 5.6

I'm going to proceed with caution just as I am doing with #3. They both seem sensitive to nutes. This one is taking on a greyish green. The main fan leaves are starting to get purple veins and a real dull greyish green color. I imagine this is a P def. Per usual for my grows.



Day 12 or 10 or what the fuck ever from seed

SAM_2635.JPG
Grimace OG babies with a Stinkbomb #1 clone thats rooted.

pH is dropping A LOT in this one. Like almost a full point over 48 hours. PPM is only 210 from 80ppm tap, think this may need adjusting but the seeds look good.

Day 17 Flower:

SAM_2638.JPG

Stinkbomb #1 - Hindsight I should of just left it alone. Hopefully it still produces some buds.

SAM_2639.JPG SAM_2642.JPG
Darkstar - I think for a first time scrog this came out nicely. Indica so its most likely past its stretch point.

Thanks. Wish I had screened the plant earlier. Just hoping it fills in some more. Probably one week of stretch left for the stinkbomb

I think it should fill in nicely.
I'm about a week and a few days behind you (7 th day of flowing) with my first grow and I'm having the opposite problem, I think mine have filled in too much with another 2 weeks of stretch to come. Not sure at the moment just how much I should clean up from the bottom in another week or so? Suggestions? That Darkstar looks great in that screen.

Thanks man. Im impressed with the Darkstar for sure. My big cloner was leaking and had to pull the plug and that one had my Darkstar clones :(

Oh well. I wanna focus on my Archive gear anyways.

Looking forward to the gear from @dbkick

As for the height its tough to tell with unknown strains. Stinkbomb stretched like a true OG. Nearly doubled in the two weeks since flip. Grew over a foot this past week.

Darkstar stretched maybe a foot total

Day 32 Flower:

Smells are coming in strong. Nice fruity aromas. Stretch is over, time for bud packing.

SAM_2674.JPG SAM_2675.JPG SAM_2676.JPG
T.H. Seeds Darkstar - pH drifts from 5.8->6.1 over 24 hours. Starting ppm is around 600ppm (1.2EC) and finishes around 400ppm (.8EC). Res changes every 3-4 days. Drinking a lot.

SAM_2682.JPG
Group shot, but only one I took with Stinkbomb #1 - It has definitely bushed out a bit, as much as that strain can I guess.


Veg:

SAM_2679.JPG SAM_2680.JPG
Still having issues with Stinkbomb #3. I think its a K deficiency due to precipitation from too many anions. As evident from the dark green leaves.

SAM_2678.JPG
Group shot (back left is Stinkbomb #3, back right is Stinkbomb #4 and right in front of that is Stinkbomb #1 clone. The other 4 are Grimace OG seeds. Transferred last night from the aero cloner as they were crowding.

Seeds are day 33.

Veg is crazy like 80 days. Think im at the point with Stinkbomb #3 to just chuck it and at the point with Stinkbomb #4 to chuck into flower(despite how bad it looks) and make clones if its female. They are getting neglected a lot. Feed at Stinkbomb #3 is like 200ppm from the res change of 500 like a week ago.

No matter how many FIMs or how nice of a scrog the sativa pheno on that stinkbomb REALLY shows.

right...was noticing some burn on the dark star. checked the res there was an inch of water left at 2.4EC

stinkbomb just looks unhappy in general. all the leaves under the screen are curling under. perhaps its heat stress... its like 85 under the lights.

Day 37 Flower:

SAM_2683.JPG SAM_2690.JPG SAM_2691.JPG

Stinkbomb #1 - 1.0EC/5.8pH - New res

SAM_2685.JPG SAM_2686.JPG SAM_2687.JPG SAM_2688.JPG SAM_2689.JPG SAM_2692.JPG
Darkstar - 1.0EC/6.3pH - Back down to 5.7 it goes - Not the most even canopy

Veg:

SAM_2693.JPG
Grimace OG - 1.0EC/5.8pH - Not drinking any since transplant 5 days ago. pH and ppm both haven't moved. Red petioles coming in hard. Still using the 1-1-1. I think im going to take a gallon out and put a gallon of tap in. Try and lower the feed a little. It may be too hot.

I also need some controls in the veg area. Its like 70%RH and 80F in that tent.

RH is controlled in flower, but temps are 80-85F and probably even higher at canopy. Need an AC going badly. These 90F days are killing me.

They are growing in that veg area. Its amazing how much progress they made in 5 days. You don't appreciate the growth until you look at pictures. This is why I journal.

lowered the feed for the seeds down to .7EC 350ppm

the leaf edges of the new growth were doing what Stinkbomb #3 was doing cupping and one plant was getting lime green around the newest leaf tip. i put a fan in the tent to get humidity and temps down.

not sure wtf is going on. only thing changed in the past week was moving them to the buckets and increasing the feed. idfk. i cant sort out these issues...i figured 1-1-1 ratio would solve em. feel like throwing in the towel. i just want perfect plants!
