Topped off a gallon and brought nutes back up to 450 PPM PH 5.8
they went through that fast. 240 ppms in one day.

That PK I was gonna cut up for clones ended up just being a topped plant.
So I am happy with that. Back to just taking a few cuttings from each

Floro cab got a new res today, PPM 440 PH 5.8
They are in week seven.

Brought the ph back up to 5.8

So I got that shelf cut for there screen today, used a pair of bolt cutters. Worked great, snipped it off at 48"
The height is at ten inches from the tub. I used existing brackets for a shelf. Just bent them out. Its not tied down yet.

They will be popping through real quick.

I have to get under here in a few days and clean it up some. Probabaly wont take clones for a couple weeks yet.

Floro cab,

Theres buds in there.

Looking real good. Interesting choice for a screen. I can see twist ties being your best friend with that one. Normally you dont need to train once buds have formed, But if you get a height growth spurt in the middle, it may be hard to get them back under. I had to do all kinds of shit to my room the last couple of days, lots of pics and explaining.

 

[cruzer101]

Yea I figure with the screen at 10 in there first bend will be at 12 inches, I am going to try these little plant clips I found.
They snap together and will hold the plant but will come apart again. I got them at my local hydro shop.

We got a bunch of them holding down the Super Silver Haze.
Thats commin down soon and I will have a bunch of these.​

 

[Integra21]

It will be interesting to see how it goes. Love seeing the same idea done different ways. Thats how I threw mine together. Just tried to take the best parts of several different grows and work them into one.

 

[cruzer101]

Yea I wasn't sure how I was going to do this one. Either lollipop and single colas or screen. I think I will get a better yield with a screen. I looked at different ways to do it but once I found this shelf my decision was made. I got wall to wall ties.

 

[tmsculli]

Looks good man. Looks like that reflector is doing you well. The screen and those clips are really interesting. I can't wait to see how it works out for you.

 

[phreakygoat]

i've always thought kush would benefit from a screen. it gets so leafy, nothing at the bottom produces anyways. they look awesome cruz!
how happy are you with the developement of the currently budding plants? they look great from the pic.

 

[cruzer101]

Thanks guys,

Yea, That Purple Kush, I am really not sure how to prune that. It has so much lower growth I dont know if I should cut it off or let it go. Usually I can find a journal or two and see how others have done it but not this strain.

I am happy with the development so far. I didnt prune the two I have in the floro cab and I see buds in lower shaded areas... decent amount of trichs but small in size.

So you feel the lower growth doesn't produce anything anyway?
Then I should remove it along with the lower growth on the TW...

I am still on 18/6

still here cruzer got sick with the shingles from stress and tryin to play catchup on ur thread lol

 

[Integra21]

yes, plants only have so much bud potential and removing the lower ones will add to the weight on the top ones where it gets the light and makes a difference.

 

[phreakygoat]

yeah this kush plant in the attatched plant i didn't prune at all, just LST. by the end i had to take off all the lower growth cause it was pale and shitty. I almost always take off any stalk not contributing to the canopy, if it doesn't have a sunny spot its gone (maybe i'm a bit too harsh)

in general i find kush to be too fucking leafy for its own good, i've yet to see adverse effects from my new hobbie of leaf removal.

Oh Fuck dude. The Shingles? I had them once. I know its common to have them on your chest or back. I had to have them on my BALLS!

The worst fucking thing I ever went through. I feel for ya man. get well.

 

[cruzer101]

I dont know why I thought it may be different. Thats how I have always done it in the past.
I guess its just that it seems to grow differently then the rest. Real tight internode spacing,
So much lower growth it seems to be overgrown. I wonder if there is a way to take advantage of that...
Like maybe a grow of all PK and top the shit out of it and spread out the lower growth.

OK, I guess this grow I will take at least two clones from each and remove leaf from the lower third of the plants.
One plant I will remove all lower growth. We will see what kind of yield we get.

Smoke report: Train Wreck.

The best weed I ever grew.
I have to say this shit is awesome. I have grown Dutch Dragon, Atomic Haze, Snow White, Apollo, White Widow and this is the best yet.

The bud dried hard. You really have to cut it up good. Once lit joint burns smoothly, within a few seconds of the first hit you feel it. My tongue got numb and I felt a body rush. After about two hours I remembered what the fuck I was doing and smoked the other half of the doob and was stoned for another couple hours. The taste has a bit of a desil to it, Good stuff.
I highly recommend it.​

Very nice setup indeed!!!

did you get the effect of a speedyness similar to cocaine (its euphoric, great conversation, twitchy hands, generally hyper)? I found i initially got a heavy stone that faded into this mega-upper experience.

I didnt get that, Then again I used to do a lot of cocaine and dont speed up easily. Like I dont even feel the first cup of coffie in the morning anymore. I initially got that heavy stone and just felt good.

Another thing that I didnt mention, you know when you take a hit and it expands, you let it out and cop that buzz. It seems the more the weed expands the stronger the buzz right? Well this doesnt expand a lot but has the kick. I like that.

It could be the results of the flushing with clearex. I know left over nutrients can make the hit expand. Thats why people perfer the taste of soil grown weed. Its ballanced and natrual unless you add shit. I got some WW from three grows ago that I didnt flush corectly and its stoney yea but makes you cough.

edit
Just thought I would add that I tried the WW to and it was not that good. Smooth smoke yea but not much of a body buzz.
Head high was there but didnt last that long. Maybe it just needs to cure more. Most of those trichs were clear.
