So my Sister is taking care of everything while im gone, as she didnt wanna come out for the funeral cuz she hates shit like that. I dont blame her at all, but best believe that shes gonna fuckin do me a solid by takin care of my babies in the mean time, lol.
She gives me daily updates on how shit's goin, sends me pics via iphone, and takes ph n ppm readings regularly, and i instruct her on what the hell to do if anything goes wrong. She's doin pretty damn well, and im even thinking about taking her on as an apprentice, and teaching her how to grow to maybe help her situation out a bit, but thats a thought for way down the road. Back to MY shit, lol.
So my two main Flood trays are filling out. Alot of them are ready to come down, so im having her chop down a few of them for me today, to get the drying process underway while im out here, so i can have some bud done when i get back. Theyre doin just fine, filling out decently, turning yellow due to Nitro deficiency, and The Black is actually turning goldish-purply-black on the leaves,and some bud is even beginning to look odd, lol. I cant wait to see her up close and look at all the changes. From what Sis says, all of the nuggets that were all flufffy n depressing, have begun to thicken out, and get rock solid due to the Gravity dose that i poured into the Rez the day before i left. Now all theyre eating is pure H20 with a dash of Gravity, and a hearty dose of H2o2 aswell. This'll be the first time that ive given my plants a full and proper flush, so hopefully i'll be able to taste the difference when i smoke a fat fuckin blunt or bong(pick yer poison)when i get home. Cant fuckin wait man.
Also, right before i left, i picked up another Flood tray. This time i didnt skimp, and went with Quality. Bought a Botanicare WHITE flood tray, which has a REAL 3x3 foot print, which will allow me to put about an additional 6-10 plants than what i am able to do with my fuckin suckass Econo-Trays. Im just about to say fuck it and sell those bitches on ebay, n get myself some more quality. There is no comparison at all man.
I topped all of my Moms the day i left aswell. Only one chop a piece, and then i threw the tops into the cloner in hopes that they'd actually take root for me. But no such luck, the stems just got slimy and turned to shit according to my sister, so after she took some pics, i told her to discard them. Then i had her take all of the clones that have been rooting for the last month and a half, and throw them into RW blocks and into 6" pots, and into the Tray. She put down a total of 16 clones for me, and im taking measures to make sure i have another 10 clones at LEAST to put in the tray when i get back home. From there, every 3 wks ill be able to take cuttings, and the Lb/3 wks machine will be underway. I mean hell, if i put down like 36 clones every 3 wks, even if im only pulling 1/2 oz per plant thats still an lb, lol. But i dont think ill be putting down quite that many. I just need to get my clone game down a bit better, and then step it the fuck up. Maybe take a few pages from YOUR book Gypsy, lol.
Last night i had my Sis do one last thing to my plants, and i then told her to just fuck off until its time to chop down a few girls. I had her top the plants again, n this time i think that the tops are going to take. Theyre much bigger, and i had her take from the bottom of the plant, so hopefully since theyre much beefier, ill have better luck. I dont wanna have to wait another 3 wks until i can take cuts man, cuz then itll be 6 wks in between my 1st two Harvests of the program. Whatever man, i'll tackle the problem when i come across it. She took a total of 38 cuts from 12 mother plants. Not all are confirmed females yet, so i'll know once they take root and i throw them right into flower. --I am also trying something a little different for myself with 2 of my mother plants. Ive taken the 2, and put them into the flower room. What im hoping to do, is let them go through the stretch, do some aggressive growth, and then show me sex, all within the first two weeks. By doing this, i am speeding up the process of them becomming permanent Mom plants for me i hope. Once they've exploded with growth, ill take as many cuttings as i can from both plants, and then throw the moms back into the veg chamber, which will allow them to fill out alot more, and turn into completely insane monsters from there. Its just an experiment though, which is why i only did the two. If it works and it seems like the rest are taking too long, then im going to do it with the rest of them, but for now im happy with what im trying out. We'll see where it takes me, lol.
Sorry for babbling on guys, i havent had anybody to talk to about all of this shit since ive been down here, and it feels really good to fuckin get it all out, lol. If you find alot of the shit i say on here Redundant as shit, i dont blame you guys at all man, hell, even i find myself too god damn Chatty sometimes, lol
Nevertheless, thanks for listening, and i'll give as much of an update as i can give on monday or tuesday, whichever i decide to come home on. Many thanks, and i appreciate all the love being given and condolances. Means alot to me guys
Many thanks,
