Flower Room finishing up at Day 58 for the 2x 5gal Blue Ripper's and Day 30 for the 5x 3gal by the door. Some nice weight on those Blue Ripper cola's, fading but they can go a few more days. Impressed with the performance of those Tasty 3590's, they'll hang around for a while



Cheers

A look at next couple of rounds in veg.

2x2 tent has 6x 1gal, mix of clones and seeds, Blue Pyramid is a fem and 2x regs of Harlequin x Blue Ripper. One is the tri-leaf pheno, hasn't fully sexed but looking like a fem. Fems will go under CMH 2 rounds out.



2x4 veg tent has 6x 3gal. All Breeder's Boutique from seed except the Blue Ripper clone. Quite a range of phenos and heights, will have to prop up the shorter one's, will be interesting trying to keep an even canopy. These should go in by the weekend under the COBs. Waiting for 2x Blue Ripper's that should be done any day.



Cheers

Flower room at Day 60 and Day 32. Looks like the Blue Ripper's will go 63-65 days, one more watering tonight should finish them off. As expected they're 4-5 days behind where they'd normally finish under the CMH. Don't know what does that under CMH but it seems pretty consistent for earlier finishes. Regardless of a couple of more days I'm liking the production and quality/terps coming off these Tasty 3590 lights

Blue Ripper 2 F1 Day 60 COBs:

Harlequin Day 32 CMH (this one has finished as quick as 49 days under CMH):

2x 15gal outdoor Blue Ripper's. This is the sativa leaning F1/pheno 1 and finished last week of September last year. I basically mainline them with the trellises and let them grow out to keep the height down. 6-7 more weeks to veg & train, targeting 12-14 zips each





Cheers

2x 5gal Blue Ripper's pulled at Day 62. Little bit of trimming coming up...

Everything is looking good bro!

Thanks Evil, nice little stash of that Blue Ripper pheno for coconut oil caps. Not a bad virgin run with those COBs, but damn the CMH plants are blowing up well. Let them get a bit large for 3gal pots under the CMH and they're flopping already at 5 weeks, started staking some already to keep them from falling over

Yeah I'm very curious to see how my second flower run does as it will be the first one fully under the CMH. Although my NL has not been under the CMH for most of flower it's just flowering out so nicely with a lot of frost building. But my tiny grow is nothing in comparison to yours. Those 15gal pot girsl look great and the side trellis is a wonderful idea lol.

That NL is looking mighty fine, looks like a decent producer too hope you got a clone. Those trellises are great for training and keeping an even/low canopy with large plants. Those 2x Blue Ripper's indoor had them in, usually only put them in 5gal or larger and stake the smaller pots if needed. But new round I found some smaller trellises at the dollar store and a couple of the new 3gal have one each, only way I could keep the main cola down with a couple of those Breeder's Boutique phenos. The Harlequin in 3gal has one bamboo stake as I went in Wednesday to water and it was bent over on the floor. One of the Blue Ripper phenos is doing the same thing so it'll get staked tonight.

Unfortunately I did not get a cut on the NL it's my first plant to flower so I did not want to mess with it anymore. I might have to re-veg it if the flowers are fire as it looks lol. Lesson learned though.

I did get cuts off my blue cheese that is getting ridiculously large in it's sip in flower was not expecting this much growth in flower lol.......

Yeah, I learned that lesson a couple of times, now every plant gets cloned until I test the flowers. Glad the SIPs are working out for you, a little less work watering with those. I do like the hands on, it's just a pain when travelling for more than a couple of days.

Oops, sounds like some more work coming up

Sorry to burst your bubble bro but didn't want you daydreaming of vacations lol. I'm sure the different strains will drink diff but you run a CMH too so.......

The NL and the Blue Cheese both are drinking heavy under the CMH but looking great. That's why the switch to coco has not been a pain. I am watering my 3 gal coco/perlite pots every 3 days or so in veg right now it's wonderful, the SIP's are what's getting watered the most frequently at the moment, aside from one auto I have in soil that is starting to chunk up and she's drinking and feeding a lot but this is a strain thing.

 

[GroErr]

Rough trim and chop for the 2x 5gal Blue Rippers and 5gal Fireballs hanging behind them.




Cheers

The one 3gal I tried lasted a week but that's in veg so not counting on them, going to setup a drip system for that. Sounds like big res's needed for flowering. Cheers.

I'm in the midst of a switch from RDWC to Tupur, a mix of coco, perlite and compost. I'm plunking my 5 gallon buckets right back into the 27 gallon tubs I ran as RDWC and I plan to run water in them very similarly, only not as deep. It's like a SIPS but the proportions are different.

Is there a way to encourage the roots to grow out of the 5 gallon buckets and into the water, thus making a hybrid SIPS /RDWC? I'm just going for it at the moment, so far so good while things are in veg. Would folks recommend continuing to topfeed or just doing it once and then forcing the plant to grow roots down?

I recently tried going from solo straight to the SIP nothing smaller in between. I only top watered a couple of times and then she began sipping within two days. Watch out, when they start to drink the explosions in growth are hydro like. But yes make the plant grow roots she will figure it out

Airstones...oh and eliminate the whole wick aspect of sips...its just wannabe hydro...

For the 5 gals I have found the stones un necessary..............
