More then 13stains at one time; what was i thinking

[redcell7]

This is my second attemp at a grow ...my first grow was ok but it was mostly bagseed ....this time i wanted to get good genetics so i looked around to see what was out there ....as u know there is a lot to pick from. so idecided to get feminised seeds (and yes i know what u are going to say "eeeww not feminised the will go hermie" well i will tell u guys 13different types of seeds and no hermies at all ...all of them or perfect females ...whoohoo
anyway here we go i have lemon skunk,himalayian gold, afghan kush, blue venom, big bang, white berry,trainwreck, ktrain,northern soul, white widow,the cheese ,blue cheese, white rhino

I started all from seed..i grow useing rockwool cubes and hydroponics i stated them in little cubes and then put them in 6x6 hugo blocks

my set up is a 3 part setup in one room i have a grow tent 4.5 ft by 4.5 ft by 7.5 i turned it sideways and moved drain tables into it and hung a 8 bulb "h.o." t5s iside; i use drip feed lines that are ran too 2- 8 line regulators that are submerged in a reservoir it has a 4 line air pump connected to it with large air stones on the end. this is were the moms live

the second part is a closet, this is were i raise the clones ...i built the clone feeding table useing the same drip feeder system that the mom room has. it has a 4 bulb t5 set up with a 2 line air pump

the third is in a nother room that has a 4x4x7.5 box that was custom built it has a 400 hps light and a glass cover on it so i have the vent hose connected to the ventilation bloer that pulls the air out ....this way it vents the hot air and pulls the old air out ...keeps the box cool .i am running a huge co2 tank , so co2 is not a problem they have a 3x3 flood and drain table with a 2 inch layer of hydroton ...i place the hugo blocks on top the hydroton that way the roots have a place to grow so they dont get rootbound

i use fox farm nutrients ...grow...bloom...tiger also i use the micro nutrents open sesame beastie buds and cha ching also i use b seaweed,chi foliar feed , blast off, cal mag, silica blast,thrive, hygrozyme and sweetner i run ph at 5.8 and 1100 to 1200 pms the reservour for the mom is a 10 gallon the closet is a 5 gallon and the flowering is a 20 gallon

i stated the grow from seed till they got to be about a foot then i moved them to the tent and le them veg for awile then i took clones off each plant 2 of each and put them in the closet when they were ready the went into the flowering box and thats were i am now the problem is i veg the clones for 4 weeks and that was way to long cause when i flowered them they shot up now i have a jungle in there ...i should not have veg for so long ....let me tell u the kush and trainwreck and white berry are very strong plants ...they blew by the others so i had to tie them down soi could keep them under the light but the other strains are pretty close to size of each other they have been in flower for 25 days now i will put up pictures but it will take a little work to see were one plant ends and one begins

anyway this is were im at so far onthis journal if u want u can post here i will take any advise u guys are galls have to offer

 

[smoke and coke]

i have finished a 15 strain grow recently and i will say that it is nice to have a selection to smoke. also it was really a pain to cure all them different strains. next time i am going to go with fewer strains and more of each strain so i can use larger jars and will save on having 15 different smaller jars to burp everyday.
although it was a lot of work, i am satified with the outcome and have i nice selection of meds to last me for a year.

my big problem is trainwreck is all over the place and stealing light ...white berry is right behind it .....i did all the stains to se what i would like and keep that 1 or 2 ...i thought i might have hermie problems or some would die from my inexperiance ...well who have thought that all of them craked grew and or doing fine so i wll wait harvest and decide what i want then slit it half 1 grow then the other half 10 weeks latter
but in the meantime im 4 weeks into flower and will post often on the grow

Nice operation you got going red. Dont be jinx'n yourself saying you dont have any hermies. You still have quite some time to go. Keep your eyes peeled for the nanners. Also be careful of your canopy and ensuring good airflow throughout. I had some mold issues once my buds go big enough to totally clog up the canopy.

yea u are so right it not over till its in a jar lol but so far none .....i have airflow going i have 4 vent fans at top pulling and 6 small at bottom pulling air in and 3 fans mounted inside and that big eco fan pulling (it has the right cfm s to pull the air out the box.....u think that should work????

 

[Boneman]

I had fans out the ass too but my damn buds were freaking huge and blocked most of the breeze. The mold was deep in the middle of my buds.
Just make sure that the air is flowing thru and around all the buds.

kool ....ill definatelly keep an eye on it last grow luckily i had no problem i hope this goes as well here are some from last grow

 

[Boneman]

Nice haul Here is a pic of my last harvest.

 

[redcell7]

all one strain ???? ...real nice work
i cant wait to see what strain i like the best

 

[Boneman]

Those were two different strains but both were sativa's.

 

[redcell7]

well 0ct 4 and they have been flowering for 4 weeks i think and i have been super lucky so far no main issues ....i am still running my ph at 5 .8 and iam qoing a little weak on the chemistry 1100 to 1200 ppm aand i have been changing my reservoir one time a week ....i have been able to move the plants around in my homade screen now im not to worry about everything gettin light ...of all the plants i am most impressed with is the afghan kush it is strong and has multiple bud site (it look really strong ) but blue venom is going to be a good yeilder. i got it for free and its lookin better then half
i also picked the strongest lookin clones and moved 3 of each into the closet so they wil veg for 4 weeks and then hopefully into flower so i can have a harvest every8 to 9 weeks well we will see lol
here are some pics trainwreck ,white berry, himalaingold, among others

 

[redcell7]

i had to trim the jungle down, the leaves from the bigger plants are blocking light through the canopy so now the smaller plants or not getting much light, so the leaves at the bottom have to go .....i need to do this so i can get better ventilation under the canopy .....some train wreck, white berry and blue venom buds are startin to put weight on ....so more ventilation = less mold

 

[redcell7]

well so far my plant seem to like all the light that is coming in thru the canopy and so far they dont seemed to stress out. but 4 weeks in almost 5 weeks in it seems like because some were deprived of light that they may not bounce back with a high yeild . but we still have 4 to 5 or 6 weeks to go so anything can happen

the ppm or constant 1100 to 1200 i think there running a little weak these plants could take more but i can only go as hard as the weakest strain can handle any more and ill burn that one up with nutes so ill stay were im at for now

the trainwreck
... is a monster everything about this plant is a keeper (huge buds ,multiple bud site ,taking anything u throw at it , OH did i mention huge buds)

afghan kush
...well my first kush strain ....now i see why there is always hype for kush strains....

blue venom
it was a freebie and let me tell u it is a plant that u would be more than happy to buy it is really strong lookin and uniform from seed to mom to clone , it roots fast it grows quick and has good stalk and multiple bud sites

white berry
is everything that i figured it would be and really close to what the seedbanks say about this strain, at the end of each branch there is a huge cola of buds, it is a little streatchy and the buds will out way the branch so u will have to tie them or stake em

lemon skunk
...well so far a dissapointment ..it has all the light it needs ,. were i have it planted it never had a light issue but it stretched almost double and the branches only have small buds on them not really lookin like it going to give me what i want but its still earlly , plus i hear the smoke is great so we will see

ktrain
..well its just a big happy bush it has many many bud sites that look to be on scedule they will definatlly fill out in the next couple of weeks

blue cheese
....this plant is hard to tell from ktrain its a happy plant that looks like ktrains sister but it is more branch it grows more like a bush then a single cola plant and it needs alot of room

the cheese
....this one was a runt from seed and after 4 weeks of vegging it still is a runt mom ...it looks like a freaking flower (LIKE IN A GARDEN AROUND YOUR HOUSE LOL)is a thin stalk that has one flower/bud on top ...im sure it is a very good strain but genetics in that seed came up short

northern soul
......it was light starved but u can tell it still got big plans, it has a single dominent cola that you can see will fill out quite nice , it takes looks alot like a nl plant , i expect alot more out of this one

white widow
.....well what could i say that has not been said already , its very destinctive u can tell it doesnt play around , its throwing weight on all the time

white rhino
.....i has the most tric`s then any plant so far it is covered in a light coat that i expect to buid up as time goes by

himmalain gold
...the plant looks well defined its got buds growing all along the shaft an it did fairly well even if it was light starved plus the bud or very very solid ...feels like marbles

big bang
it seem like a good plant but it is hard to tell i was the worst that was light starved so will see what the next month has to offer

i have not smoke any of these strains before so this is not like a smoke report ...this is a way to keep a little record of the grow and my statments of from my own experiances only ...im sure different growers will have different results and probably better then mine ...im still learning
pics tonight

 

[redcell7]

well today is the 8 th and i check them this morning before i had to run off to work and i am happy as hell taking the overgrowth off all those plant was a good thing (at least so far )they are looking really good they are far enough into flowering that the next 2 to 3 weeks they should start putting the weight on .....hell trainwreck and white berry or to the point i need to start tieing them up or staking them cause they are gettin nice size....now if my luck holds out lol

 

[redcell7]

Some pics from the other night

 

[redcell7]

i have been moving the plants around each night so i can get as much light as i can that has been light deprived ....but there coming back with a vengance every night i check them u can see a noticable change in growth...
the afgahan kush is realy startin to throw on the triclones but the trainwreck and white berry still are buding like crazy ....every strain is startin to bulk up now so i cant really judge them to much cause they change every couple days

 

[redcell7]

i have been moving the branches around because trainwreck and white berry or producing huge buds and now they are blocking the light ....net time i will clone my mother plants 2 to 3 weeks befor they go in that way after 10 to 13 days to root they will be ready for sog....other then that , the plants that were light starved have all they want now and they are starting to fill out so we woll see what happens this weel .........any advice good or bad i can take ...leave a comment

 

[redcell7]

WELL so far so good, everything is moving alone quite well ....no problems with the nutrients (but i am running them real light )1100 to 1200 ppm with a ph of 5.8 to 6.o temps run 80 to 85 during the day and a steady 78 at night my mix consist of fox farm line i use the whole systm...grow, bloom, tiger bloom, and the micros cha ching , open sesame , beastie plus i also use b seaweed , calmag, hygrozme ,silica, blast off, liquid karma, and a sweetner but like i said its a weak solution because i have 20 gallons of water in my tank but i set the mix based on if i had a 10 gallon mix so im only at half of what would be recommended
this week i will be using purple max for this week and the next week and only at the end of the week, 2 days before reserviour change because i use aireation in my tank it it will cause a growth. so 2 days before change doesnt give it a chance. the week after that ...i will start my gravity regement hopefull everything will fill out nice but like i said i veged them to long so now im sttuck with a jungle on a 3 x3 table

 

[redcell7]

Well im entering about 6 . 5 week and i come to terms that some of the plants that were light starved will not be getting to much bigger in leanth, but i can still build of the bud sites. I started on my purple max, and gravity regiment i am running gravity at 25% of recommended amount and the purple max at half the normal amount and my nutrients or still at full strenth and my plant seem to like it, they are showing no stress but i have really seen a difference on the feel of the buds ...there starten to harden up

The big bang, himalain gold, blue cheese ,northern soul, cheese, or starting to harden ...i wont have a large yield ,i figure at least a quarter of dry weight on the light starved plants, but alot more on the trainwreck ,white berry ,blue venom, white rhyno,white widow......i expect a large amount off my kush ...the whole plant is a bud ..and the lemon skunk is really startin to fill out fast

trainwreck is just a monster plant i have no clue what ill get but i will have alot of that .....also for a freebie the blue venom is a strong plant it can take what u give it and it will fight to be on the top canopy
ktrain is starting to finish nice also ...i cant believ the stark this plant can make....i was hopping out the 20 plants i have flowering that i could get a qp but i think when it is dried and weight i should get more then that cause the way i got it set up i will have a harvest every month one 3x3 table like i have flowering and a exact setup on another table (3x3) any way other then that im still running my co2 4 times a 12 hour day and i started at 5.8 ph but now i have it at 6.0 and my ppm or 1730 ......i had good RH but were im at we are having a season change and even with things set in place to keep it down i am running 60 to 70 % RH but that will soon go back down
comments? questions ...insults? ....anybody

 

[redcell7]

A question for u guys and girls. Would u think it's better to let them root and then throw them into flower right then This should keep them small
or vegg them 4 weeks then flower them they will be big though?????[CODE[/CODE]
