yeah bro.. it stinks good!! anytime i even so much as rub up against one a ton of scents are released... and very distinct.. of course the blueberry has a very blueberryish smell.. the lemon haze has gone from a skunky lemon to a super intense sweet lemon... the strawberry cough definitely has some strawberry undertones... the gigabud is very lemoney also... the sharks just stink like good headies do... and the tundra has a very unique smell... i cant place a finger on it yet.. i think once the terapins (spelled wrong) develope more it might come out what it is i smell.. but maybe its just the smell.. its sweet and skunky and almost chocolatey and a mix of a few other scents... i love its production too.. bud size, growth size/stretch, and resin... if anyone is looking for extremely solid phenos, and a plant that doesnt stretch much, m. tundra is it...
hell ya brotha!! im really excited to see what you can do with them on a full grow.. did you harvest the ones you had going already?? they should be close if not... are you runnning another indoor grow??
them ones that were in the clear tote are done and gone. i had six little ones in the veg room but my dumb ass forgot all about them and they are pretty much dead. hahahaha hehehehehe i was pretty much waiting for the outdoor to get done b4 i start a new indoor. to keep with in my legal limit. 380 gr. dry off the 2nd little girl. my big weight will come from the next 4 big girls
So I'm down for the day, but I've got some plans for tomorrow. One question: Have you ever used fish line and lead sinkers to bonsai individual branches of flowering plants? If so, any pointers you care to share? I've read about it and I think it would really help me increase my bud production.
ive never done the fish line/sinker set up... i personally just do the old tie off techniques... but i found if you super crop right you get a bonsai style plant with little effort.. thats how my blue berry is...Howdy SS420, I just got my thread progress updated. Spent late into the night supervising the drywall hanging on the dividing wall for my grow lab flowering chamber. I've got the inside finished so I'm good to go, except for a few minor adjustments.
I want to finish my aero-vegging system, but I went to the pain clinic today and got my spine thoroughly injected. I'm supposed to take it real easy, and relax. Sure don't want a nerve related migrane!
i have been happy... still have 4 or 5 weeks to go to see how successful it really was!!
Thx sampson. That makes sense now. I was a bit surprised because I wasn't expecting them to grow down so quickly.hey KS... how are things??
so to answer to your question, yes they have... in fact, if i pulled any one of my plants up they would show some roots through the bottom of the drain bucket.... if i pulled the actual plant out of the bucket i would have a 2 gallon solid root mass that looks exactly like the bucket until i start to break it up...
you shouldnt worry about that.... its a good thing... the more roots the more nutes that can be absorbed.. the more nutes that can be absorbed the more nutes the plant can use... the more the plant can use the bigger, stronger, healthier, and fatter yielding the plant will be
it would be impossible for the roots to grow so dense they essentially water proof the container they are in... there will always be space enough for them to flood and drain properly... the less roots there are the quicker the flooding and draining can go.. but it will still happen even when completely filled in with roots... maybe it takes a minute or 2 more to flood/drain... but thats it...
now the nice part about this is that the roots dont fill in the bottom solid bucket.. they just sort of dangle in the inch or so of water left in them... so in between the flood cycles the plants can access to a little extra water should they want it... if you start seeing signs of over watering you may want to cut back a flood cycle.. and if you still see signs of overwatering you may need to raise the inner bucket a little bit (via hydroton in the solid outter bucket) so the roots dont touch the water.... but this is the only reason or potential downside to the roots growing that low...
Am i sure? Absolutely not. LOL. I took some pictures and will be posting them on my journal today. If you have time take a look and let me know what you think. I lowered the EC to 1.5 thinking that it wouldn't hurt growth that much if they had less nutes (?).
Wow. I've only been watering twice a day since they've been in flower. I started there because a friend of mine who has the same setup watered twice a day all the way through to harvest. His harvest was 2 elbows for 12 ladies. I haven't seen any drooping leaves or flimsy branches so it doesn't seem like underwatering but are those the only signs? If i did increase the watering schedule what are the signs of overwatering?
I'm using House & Garden nutes with humic acid additive. My pH is 5.8 and I check it every day before the first watering. I posted some pics so when you get a chance check out my journal. Thanks again for the advice. It is much appreciated.
so i checked out the pics.. it doesnt look like nute burn.. more like a deficiency... the nutes you use... are they all purpose or a 2 or 3 part system?? i have a feeling you need to use a supplement like calmag or another calcium/magnesium supplement... everything looks very nice otherwise tho.. and even the problem is that big of an issue...
thanks bro.. it was an experience...
I am using a 2 part nute system. After looking at the leaves again and re-reading the deficiencies I think you are right. It looks most like magnesium def to me. I noticed that the Cal/Mag supplement has nitrogen in it too (2-0-0). Will that jive with the nutes i'm using (5.5-3.4-7.5)?
it was an experience...
so.. for the first litter of pups i ever had... or was witness too.. wow... that was definitely interesting and very cool.. she had 14 pups.. HUGE litter... sadly, 1 died yesterday and 1 last nite...
the one that died yesterday was dead before it had a chance... there were 2 puppies that she didnt open the sacs on.. it was her first litter so i dont think she knew what to do... i was able to save one.. which i am going to keep.. its the lightest brendle one in the pics...
the one that died over night was the runt.. and i dont think she was able to fight her way into the bunch to get to the milk... i was really bummed out about it...
but the other 12 pups are in great health and spirits!! a noisy bunch they are... payton is a great mother to them... she lets me in so i dont have to worry about her going crazy and biting me when i change the bedding and what not...
Howdy SS 420, Congrats on your puppies!Sorry about your loss.
My wife raises too many Pugs, and although we haven't had a new litter in over a year now, it still freaks me out really bad if one of the little angels doesn't make it.
We've got a new bad-ass little dame to replace our retiring alpha female, a tiny black Pug puppy named 'Raisinette' who keeps me way too busy. All of our 5 other pugs are fawn, so she really has a rough time fitting in, but she is extremely friendly, and hyper cute. Our stud, lil' Mel Gibson, thinks shes an annoying bitch now. Later, he's gonna be in love!
