A Cannabinerd's Journey

[AlphaPhase]

Here's the purple OG 18 it's finally filling out and starting to stink, the buds went from nothing to as big as the other plants in one week, it's crazy glad I took a cut for a new mama because I didn't think it was going to do much, but it smells awesome now

And here's the sog side of the flower room in its finished state. All that's left is more plants

Me and payne have talked about those come from behind plants. The ones that look like hell till the last two weeks and by then half the time have killed the clones. That why i try to hold out on judgement till the end now.

I hear ya there bro, it's been happening far too much recently so this time I took like 2 or 3 cuts of everything, I don't want to lose a potential awesome plant again. It's so Damn weird how they go from nothing to awesome so fast, there must be some sort of gene in them that just takes time to trigger and then goes in to beast mode. I don't like waiting but it's worth the wait at the same time lol

Yea it still is going to have that cantaloupe taste it looks like. I need some sour power 91 beans though. Those sound great!

Ahh man that's a bummer, I'm starting to think anything tangi is going to be hard to breed with. I keep hearing that the taste /smell carries over 9/10 times, but it was worth a shot. Hopefully it's not as raunchy as the original lol. I'll see if I have any more sour power Chem beans, I don't think I had too many but I might have a couple left. The fan blew most of the pollen into my purple paralysis and I ended up with like 50 of those, the only thing I was trying to pollinate was the tsngilope and I got more beans on everything else lmao. Total newb shit right there

Hell pp x 91 would have potential too!

I know for a fact I have a bunch of those I'll let ya have I haven't popped any yet but I remember them being the smallest little buggers, the sour power seeds were so fat, and the pp Chem were sooooooo small and dark. I'm hoping they aren't one of those kinds of seeds that are hard to germ

OK ladies and gents, the worst is over! I can now re-freaking-lax (i think). Should be smooth sailing from here with no more upgrades or mods for a while. I think the next batch of glue are already to flower I dunno, maybe another day or 3 tops. Then I'll flip em. They have roots coming out the bottom already

or you could just give it up all together

I've been lazy and haven't potted my last batch of clones up. Now I have additional 40 or so clones to pot up tomorrow.

I'll be doing the original 15 into 2gals and flowering immediately and the remaining 40 will go into solo cups for a while.


I'm reading your posts and realizing that I'm fucking up my rotations but I've been too busy to do anything about it...

@Dr.D81 @genuity
The OG Larry x HB#2 is a VERY vigorous rooter. Like holy shit that was fast! I can't wait to do SOG with her, it will be epic!


Hope all is well in everyone's worlds

I hear ya man, it's really tough for me to keep up with the rotation because my back always goes out or my hands start giving me trouble. I hate it, I used to do 8 lights, 36 clones a tray, 2 trays every 2 weeks. There's no way in hell I could do that anymore so that's when I found the ebb buckets so I can grow fewer bigger plants. But I still have a soft spot for sogs so I make myself push through because if the old lady doesn't see results I'll never hear the end of it lol.

Once things are on some what of a schedule and nothing goes wrong, it's a lot easier to keep up but when you're busy for unexpected things or just broken like I am, it can easily slip away and then it messes up everything.

That logxhb sounds tasty

Wow man, I'm sorry to hear about your back. I hope you have pain free days ahead.

I'm sure the ebb and flow buckets are great, I use to do ebb and flow and I loved it. I've been thinking about returning to it actually...

Rotation truly is key, I'm seeing. These in solo cups should've been uppotted already, and I need to be taking my next batch already too, lol.

I use SOG loosely, I have no where near the capacity nor the capability to manage a rotation of that magnitude. I'm just trying to figure it all out dude! For now just a few handfuls of plants under a handful of lights.

I've been subbed up to this thread for a while, I just wanted to stop in and at that I like what you're doing and to encourage you to keep on keeping on.

Good stuff dude, good stuff.

Have a wonderful night.


And, I haven't had the opportunity to flower the logxhb2 yet. Very soon though that will change!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thanks man! Very much appreciate that

Ebb and flow is just a lot less hassle for me, no manual watering is a huge plus!

Definitely keep me posted on the logxhb2! Would love to see that in flower

 

[AlphaPhase]

@Aeroknow I bricked my phone while trying to root it. Working on fixing it now lol. If not I gotta get another phone, but I don't have internet here, just nikkis phone internet. Hoping it fix it tonight but it's literally a brick at the moment

 

[AlphaPhase]

Got the t5s hung.


1 atomic nl passed away. It just couldn't hang with the big boys I guess. It would droop during lights on and perk up lights off, so I decided to pull it out and let the others rock on. #onlythestrongsurvive

 

[papapayne]

got no time for the weak!!

 

[AlphaPhase]

For sure Payne what's funny is I pulled the plant out by the stem and threw it in a tote. Walked by the tote today and it's perky af lmao. It wants to live so bad but can't handle hid so it's a lost cause.


Glue day 42

@Aeroknow

You know about this? Gh chitosan? Hmm. I'm learning like a mofo about products now lol.

 

[AlphaPhase]

Well, holy shit. I'm having an epiphany.

I used to consistently pull a gpw when I had my flood trays with covered tops.

I also pulled 2 lbs in the tent with the flood buckets and suspended net pots. There was lots of reflection.

When I was testing a new bulb tonight to see what Temps will be in the flower room with another light, and to adjust the hood height, I used the light meter on the covered tray.

To my astonishment, at 4 fucking feet!!!! I'm getting the same reading as 22" on all the other lights without a reflective surface.

This is huge and could be a major reason I was always pulling so much weight. At 24" it would be equivalent to 2000w in a 4x4 area.

Now to back track some years, my rooms were always built with the reflective insulation board. And I used that board to cover my trays, each tray being 3.5x3.5'.

I must have been getting 2500w equivalent in that space with all surfaces reflective!

Crazy! Something to think about.



Oh, and the atomic nl I pulled lol. Such a trooper.
