Crap I always loose. I really thought there was more, but still a very good grow. When will the next journal start.

there easily could have been more.. had i had the 3 plants that died... but shit, 2.5 pounds on 9 plants for a first hydro run aint bad...

im ordering seeds and everything in a week or so.. as soon as i get seeds/supplies it is starting... itll be a dual journal.. a bunch of autos and 12 regular bushes..

morning bro waz up. been a while. man iv been sooooooooooooooo busy. the girls are takeing off very nicely. i will be transplanting 2day when i get home. that the crystal i'l be transplanting. they got there 1st feeding yesterday.

Can I ask you about "autos." I'm wondering why you would use them. They flower faster than regular seeds, but if you're growing both you would still have to wait for everything else to catch up. The autos can utilize a longer day period, but if you're growing the regulars in there too you can still only run 12/12 in flower. It seems like I'm missing an key part of your plan here. Thanks.

hey there bro.. been busy as fuck myself!! having to clean out the veg room.. finish getting the flower room ready... making supply lists.. researching my next strains.. puppies... all that shit.. im almost exhausted...

glad to hear you got things back up and going and your doing well.. did anything ever come of shit with those kids?? hopefully you get some retribution... you should give me a call sometime when your around... like to shoot the shit for a bit..

i will be more than happy to explain about the autos... to make sense of it tho, i need to tell you how my grow will actually be in the end... to make it all make sense...

first, my goal is to have a 60 day rotating crop of 16 girls... this means i will veg 16 large "regular" girls out for 60 days while i have 16 large "regular" females flowering... once the flowering girls are done i will move the 16 x 60 day vegged girls into flowering and begin vegging clones of them... they will veg through the others flower.. and so on...

now where do the autos fit in this mess?? well... basically its like this.. i am getting the seeds and parts i need to start my new grow.. the parts are to set up the flower room itself... which will only take a few days to do... so i would have 60 days where the flower room would be empty while i waited on the 16 "regular" girls to veg out.. (oh, and by regular i dont mean mixed seeds.. i am using all fem'd seeds.. i just mean regular as in not auto)... to make the best use of space and time i decided while my "regular" girls are vegging i can get a bumper crop of autos done...

so the autos will be in the flower room and the "regular" girls will be vegging in the veg room... by the time the autos are done, in 8 to 9 weeks, the "regular" girls will have the 60 days of veg i wanted them to get and will be ready to move to the flower room... ill take clones of them first, and root them, so they will be ready to veg during their "mothers" flowering...

basically the autos are just meant as some what of a bumper crop.. it'll help ease the hit im taking in the 5 grand im dropping in seeds and supplies a little.. and its a way to test out the flower room, get the kinks worked out, before i have 16 large girls that really matter in there.. i would hate myself if i fucked them up on the first go around...



speaking of the new grow.. it should start in about a week... thats the goal at least to have the seeds down and the room up and ready for them...

i changed the strains im doing to

chocolope
pineapple express (yes.. im joining the band wagon.. really it'd just be a hot seller)
twista 108
LSD


then for autos

ak48
diavolo II


im slowly making my move to advanced nutes.. the guys i get my supplies for have small personal grows and all recommend advanced nutes far and above all other nutes... so i figure why not try... i can always switch back.. and the cost for nutes, given the profit margin, is worth the minor expense..

ya bro sensi a and sensi b.. sensi cal...senszime... shit there all bomb.. very easy to use.

 

[simpsonsampson420]

i still think i will stay with a 3 parter.. just because i like to be able to keep things as custom as i can.. im sure i can get as good of results with the 2 part.. but i like the idea of being able to still control the micro part of it..

 

[mygirls]

mornnig bro hows thing for you. im geting ready to transplant them crystals in a few minutes. il post up some pics as soon as i get them done.

 

[simpsonsampson420]

hey bro.. mornin to ya too.. doin well today.. and yourself?? cant wait to see the crys bro... really looking forward to watching that grow!!

so i got my seeds ordered yesterday... chocolope, pineapple express, twista 108, and LSD for the main strains.. i dont remember what autos i got.. i changed them up at the last minute just to make sure i could get enough to fill out the flower room with them... i am crossing my fingers and hoping they are here saturday.. but i am thinking it will be monday or tuesday more than likely..

i also went and put a down payment on my equipment order.. they wanted half.. i cant blame them.. they are a new place and have gotten stiffed a couple times by people who placed large orders and didnt pick them up.. i am making the switch to advanced nutes.. as of right now its only the bud blood, big bud, bud candy, and grandmas something or other.. i need to run out my gen. hydro 3 part before i make that switch.. plus there are some other things i need to get from AN..

so in about a week the new journal starts.. im getting amped up all over again.. this will be a large one for me.. should be fun..

and yes i use AN and love the outcome.. you will too.

 

[simpsonsampson420]

so far they look good... will really be excited to see them in a couple months when they are flowering...

 

[tilemaster]

hey SS.. man i wuz talking to a friend whos blowing it away with coco and he said i should look in2 replacing my an line with a line called Cutting Edge.. said its a 3part system that is blowing the competion away.

Cutting Edge Solutions

 

[simpsonsampson420]

hey bro..

thanks for the link.. i checked out their homepage.. and what they offer.. they sound pretty decent... i wish their page was a little better.. and had some comparisons of growth against the "competition"... they dont offer anything like that.. i think.. at least for now.. ill stick with the AN.. only because they have a rep already.. and are trusted... i would be very interested in trying some of them out.. i may email them and see if i can get samples sent to me.. i mean.. its worth a shot right??

 

[simpsonsampson420]

i just emailed them to see about the samples.. ill let you know what they say..

 

[tilemaster]

right on. i tryed to get my hydro strore to import them, but hey maybe next year is wut i got. apparently cutting edge is the shit. be interesting if 1 of us tryed the shit, i do know that my boy is using it though and loves it. but u hear this kinda of thing in the nute game all the time. anyways hope the day is nice bro...

thinking bout either ordering some tga subcoolded querkle, or qclearner...or maybe some bubba kush from greenhouse seeds, or rhite russian from serious seeds...hmm cant finger her out..

well i ended up sending them an email. i told them i was thinking about switching nutes and was told to check them out. asked them for a trial pack of their products. within 24 hours i had a repsonse. they said yea. i guess they are running some sort of promo and are giving away samples.. you can probably still get some yourself if you are interested.. just email them and ask!

i almost got some querkle... bubba kush is good.. and white russian is great... all 3 of them are great strains.. if i had to choose out of those i would probably go with the russian tho.. but it'd really be a toss up between the russian and querkle..

i've already started running into issues on this next grow... first with the seeds.. its nothing big.. but attitude was out of twista 108... so my order was delayed.. well not the whole order.. i had to split it into 2 orders... the auto flowers are on their way now.. forget which ones i got of those.. i told attitude to switch the twista 108 for applejack or kill-a-watt... so that part of the order will get shipped out today or tomorrow i hope.. that will include the pineapple express, chocolope, lsd, and whichever of the other 2 they send..

then i get a call from my hydro supply store... well.. back it up a step.. first they give me a quote... i go to make a down payment on the order and it ends up being $900 more than the original quote.. the owner said there was a mix up from the girl that wrote the first quote.. she forgot something on it... anyways.. so that was the first thing they screwed up.. then the owner said he was going to place the order tuesday.. i get a call today saying 1 part (the ebb and gro system) is on 2 week back order... which sucks.. but then they proceed to tell me they are just now placing the order!! so it seems things will be delayed a little... so i have a new plan...

1) i've pretty much got the veg room cleaned out and flipped over ready to go.. so as soon as the autos come in i am going to start them.. i can use the floros to start vegging the autos out some.. i will probably pick up some 4x4 or 5x5 rockwool blocks to give them something to root in the for a week or so.. until the ebb and grow system gets in..

2) as soon as i get the other seeds i will start them as well and get them vegging.. they may not get the full 60 days of veg.. but thats fine...

3) i will get the hps lamps and everything else up and running so all i have to do is hook up the ebb and grow system..

4) ill hope things work out right and that timing is on.. otherwise i am going to run into issues...

i really think this time i will just do it smart and not rush things at all.. i will try to get things close timing wise.. but i dont want to have things start dieing on me because they have no where to live...

and i dont think, unless they hook me up really well for their fuck ups, that i will be using the hydro place i am using now again... the drive to wormsway sucks... but fuck it... its worth it for the quality care they give...

Which ebb & grow system did you purchase?

I bought the EBB-12 by C.A.P.
