this is one badass grow, but im wondering what he can do after he gets it dialed in, one can only imagine!
glad too see things worked out so nicely cruz!
Thanks man, Getting all this imput from you guys really helps me dial this in. Your choice, the Santa cruz OG looks like it will be the perfect size plant for in here. Shes not as tall as the others but bushy without topping. Once I see her finish I will know for sure. Heres a pic I took today for ya.
Girls are lookin' mighty fine my friend.
Thanks man.
Dubs nice avatar bro + rep. Where the hell did you get that?
reminds me of gorillaz
The greenhouse is rocking cruzer
"I feel summer creeping in..."
Dam, I just got that song out of my head... now its back. LOL No biggie.
Thanks man.
You da man cruzer, ladies looking good as always. Can't believe the roots are already growing out the bottom of those smart pots.
Yea, I think it has to do with the way I am watering this round but before the grow when I was looking at pots I read nurserys use these to grow 6 foot tall plants in the ground, when they take the pots out of the ground to sell the plant I think it was like 85% of the rootball stayed in the smart pot giving the plant a much better shot at the transplant. But that means 15% loss so I figured some will get down there but the majority of the drain of nutrients from the soil will be the soil in the smartpots. I would rather replace the soil in the smart pots then to pull out all the bricks and turn over the soil. Kinda a raised bed deal.
so cruz, things are looking awesome, as expected, but what are your plans for next round?
going to continue strain shopping, so to speak? or are you going to try and maximize one strain and run with it for a bit?
not trying to be nosy, i just find myself thinking, 'what would i do if i had such a pimpin greenhouse in my backyard?' everytime i perv your thread, lol!
so curiosity finally killed the cat and i had to ask.
Im glad you did. I have been thinking about it and would like some input.
I figure mid August I start 12 clones in my cab and start vegging for winter harvest in soil, Those go in when I harvest these girls. I start flowering those in the green house I start 12 more in the cab for spring harvest. Once they are out of the cab I switch back to hydro and I think I can get two grows in before I need the veg space for the next round in the green house.
What Im not sure about is if I can go from clone to a nice bushy plant ready to flower in two months in soil grow. I want to top twice or try uncle bens method to keep them manageable in the cab (about 20 inches tall and 15 wide in a one gallon smart pot) and maximize the flowering potential. I think its doable.
fuckin awesome cruzer!! I'm so envious of you. they look really good.
Hell ya bro, I look Casey right in the eyes now, well if she had eyes.
Its time to start with the first line of defence. I went and got two no pest strips and shot the bottoms of the girls with Organiside. Then sprayed insectiside around the outside of the green house. I walked out there the next day and found about 12 dead bugs on the bricks. They looked like roaches to me. My bud said they could be Japanese beetles but they look one color to me. More like an American Cock roach. I read those dont eat plants though... weird.
Anyway, I top fed them with a pitcher, 2 gallons each 800 ppms ph 6.5
the soil sank in some so I am going to top off the containers with more and put a layer of washed sand on the top. That should help compact the soil some.
Now I got three plants on the back wall.
The big girl, Blue Cheese:
The Blueberry:
And Boomers Blue Dream I damaged but is coming along.
Does Blue dream, the one in the pot had the most spidermites so I took her outside a couple days ago and hit her twice with organiside real good. Shes ready to go back now.
First one on the left is Casey Jones.
