here is some Organ Purple Thai info.

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Oregon Purple Thai

There are some really nice pictures at the bottom of the page. I had to stop in there and tell them what I was doing.

Not sure want the previous nute quantities were but just multiply them by 1.25 to get the current doses. Interesting thread on the OPT strain.

 

[edux10]

I had them writen down somewhere. They are in this thread too. They are the week 1 feeding schedule on the AN calculator. I just timesed the first week by 1.25 and it was close to week 3 so i went with that for this watering.
I thought I posted what I fed here today. Maybe it is on the last page. If not i will post it again. I remember it still..
Ha. All of us 'in the know' are going to be saying OPT for the purp thai. haha.

 

[edux10]

I just feed them. This is the nutes increased by about 1/4. I just went with week 3 on the feed chart as it was the closes to a 1/4 increase in dose.

AN Sensi 2 part 28.6ml per 4 gallons
AN SWEET 30ml per 4 gallons
AN B52 87 ml per 4 gallons
AN SENSI CAL/mg 18.5 ml per 4 gal

sound good?

this is way I fed. That was just about a 1/4 increase

hey theloadeddragon,

if I am not using co2 this round wouldn't it be best if I just did my exhause like this:

carbon filter->hood of light->ducting->blower fan->ducting out the tent out the window?

that would be better than just having the fan blow across the light out the window right? This way I can exhaust my room and I can use my carbon filter too to prevent odor.
Sound like a plan?

This would be ideal! go for it. Also put in a small ocilating fan to blow inbetween the plant and the lights

Sweet, I actually saw a set up like this at a hydro shop. I have an odor sock filter too so it is not as heavy as those big carbon filters, it will be perfect becuase it won't add that much weitght on the hood and light.

 

[edux10]

Here is the clones.

As you can see the plants are pretty big. They are starting to get rid of the yellow. There is a lot of females in there actually. I was just going to toss a couple if they were all yellow and male but all the ones with preflowers are female with the exception of 2 still

see, this is how my hood light and fan are setup right now. I will take the left side duct off and just put the filer on the hood flangue.

I used these to make my clones. So far I have not made any more WC clones. I am waiting for all the yellow to get off them, or them to grow out more so I can take the yellow leafs off.

Some Dabney Blueberry cuttings.

wooo hooo.

Just checked my mail today. Inside was 10 Double Strawberry Desiel Seeds and they sent me some freebees too. 5 free Haze X Skunk #1. I was having a bad couple dayz and this made em a little bit betta. I will get you some pics of that too.

Gets me to thinking about WC x DSD hmmmm sounds good to me. You guys already know that I get way ahead of my self all the time... hahaha

 

[edux10]

Does any one see any problems with my cloner? I know it is a bit dirty. I havent really got that many roots going. You think it just needs more time? It has been about 2 weeks and only a couple have roots. It has a dome over it too. I closed the holes on it so there is a lot of humiditiy and I open it a couple times a day to check on em and let the mositure out so there is no mold or fungus or anything.

I should just be giving them pure phed water right? No food or 'boosters'?

 

[theloadeddragon]

yeah no nutes in the watering... no foliar feeding... 5.8-6.4 water ph recommended, though mine root in 6.9 ph water. your looking good for two weeks. Your box is nasty looking man... they should be ready to transplant in the next week or so.

hahaha. Nasty box. I will give it a good cleaning today. Looking at it again now, I really see. hahaha, some gross dirt on one side, and some nasty algea on the other. It got messy with the soil seedlings in there. Any reccomendation of what kind of solution I should clean it with? Like dishsoap or something?


Good news all!!!
We will begin flowering withing the next 5 days!!!
The plants are about 22inches tall right now. The biggest one, that lanky one, is actually over 2 feet. I am going to deffinatly do some bending with the one. She is a girl to. She actually has the most developed preflowers. She is also the one that got the most yellow cuz of the flush. It is comming back nicely now thoug and should be green by the time any flowers begin to form. Hope it doesn't hurt the overall outcome too much....

 

[theloadeddragon]

no you will be fine, as long as the overall plant isn't showing negative signs in general your fine, and it is making more than enough energy to sustain herself if she keeps growing. Plants are just like people!! I would recommend water and bleach solution followed by two thorough rinses with just pure water. I bet your flowers will turn out to be a festive fragrant bouquet....

You made my day hearing you say everything is going to be I always need reassurance. I am really looking foward to seeing these babies go off. I hope in a week or 2 those leafs will be like nothing and many new ones in their place.

I will clean my tray like you said. I am kind of waiting for all them cuts to get comfortable. At first they were all droopy and looked like dieing, then they got some life to them and stated to get rigid. I had to help them point at the light. Not it has been another half a day and they are all pointing at the light looking happy. Praying for roots!!


oh, one last thing. Becasue of the state of the plants, all the yellow leafs, should I be waiting a little longer to take clones or do you think that if I take clones and they have yellow leafs that they will be ok? Don't want to waste time taking clones that are just going to die....

 

[theloadeddragon]

once a leaf has turned more than 50% yellow or dying you are supposed to remove it, I wait until the whole leaf has turned yellow, and crumble the dead dry parts between my fingers. If its yellow its doing your plant no good, because of the stresses of cloning, the yellow leaves wouldn't do your clones any good. Trim the yellow leaves a little bit before you take the clones. I usually cut lower larger fan leaves in half to reduce the amount of water etc. needed to travel up the stem to help the cutting focus on growing roots. You used rooting hormone right? That usually does the trick. If you look down into the holes in the rockwool you should be able to see little white bumps or even little white roots growing out of the stem. I usually transplant as soon as I see it actually growing a little bit, and make sure to cover about a half inch above the top of the cube if you can, because roots will grow all throughout that area too... once the plant starts to grow roots, it goes root crazy if it can... ..... herb plants are like little soldiers.... they fight a good fight, and it usually takes something messed up and stupid to really screw them up... you'lll be fine and Im just really too baked and need to play a video game...

 

[edux10]

Cool, I pulled off some leaves that looked 'used up'. I also here that the dead parts are bad because disease and pests.

Usually when I cone in rockwool I don't use the little premade hole. Is that bad for some reason? I just put the stem in the cube where there is no hole cuz it seems like the seem to stay better, they hold themselves up better if you know what I am saying, if i use the hole they seem to be floppy and less rigid. Is there a reason why not using the hole is bad? Should I poke it in the hole? ahahah

 

[edux10]

see its really just the big one that is close to the camera that looks the worst. The others are really just lime now, but I am looking for that dark green back that I started with

 

[theloadeddragon]

looks like you will be fine... check out the GDP on my journal... it was that really bad windburn clone that I got... and now its over 7 feet tall!
