Someguy15s Perpetual 1kw Pineapple Express & More

[Someguy15]

well since we last talked i finally got my tent issues under control. but while that was getting under control i have clones and mothers that had grown out and either needed to be flowered or thrown out, and since the tent was in orderat that time i just put them all in flower at the same time. i kinda hated to do that because i usually do the perpetual thing, but everything was getting too tall. so i figured what the heck., so in about two weeks i'll have about 45 plants to chop down. its all good though, just hate the idea of triming all of them. probably take me the whole weekend. thats ok because after that is done i'm getting back on the perpetual track. already got my rotation started from clones in the clone cab to some babies ready to flower. so in two weeks i'll be back to the usual putting something out every two weeks. also got a Power Kush seed that has grown up. i let her get pretty tall then i topeed her and put tha t in some coco, then i took about four more clones off of her to make some mothers. and i kept the remaining plant as a mother for now, it was hard because it looked awesome, really. but i didnt because while those five clones are getting up to speed i'll be able to put at least 2-3 Power Kush clones in the every two weeks . so i may not enjoy that one plant now, but i will enjoy her a lot more later. and when the clones are big enough to cut from i might do a Power Kush grow. who knows? not me. but hey man like i said, "ooooooo-weeeeee that looks DANKALICIOUS".LOL.
i think you'll like using the screen. no stakes, no tying anything to anything, and the biggest one of all, NO WALKING INTO THE ROOM AND FINDING EIGHT OR NINE COLAS POINTING SOUTH, because youll be getting plenty of support from the screen. one thing though, you might notice that your main stem isnt as thick. well that's because the plant is letting the screen hold it up and support it. the up side is that all that energy that the plant would have had to use to hold itself up, and create thicker stalks is now able to be directed into bud formation. so win, win. well i'm out. be easy bro.

Sounds good, every 2 weeks you harvest huh? so u have 4 sets of plants spaced 2 weeks then? I want to get to the point where I have 2 setups alternating so I get a harvest every month, I dunno if I could handle trimming all the time lol

I'm hoping the screen helps me use the light more efficiently, I'm just worried that the 2 week stretch won't be enough time to train them. Only one way to find out I guess.

Not trying to be rude, but isn't that just a type of LST? The whole point of LSTing is to even the canopy and promote internal node growth. It's all trying for the same goal, just slightly different methods.

well yes its lst combined with topping. lol i call it hst. i dont know why you thought i might take that as rude, i didnt. normally when i see people lst they train the plant from clone and they tie down the main stalk and allow it to grow (usually around the pot in a circle) rather then tieing back each branch one time so the middle is hollow until a week later when it fills in. but yea to answer your question its just lst but the reason i said its like a scrog is because it actually looks similar in the second month of 12/12.

someguy, i hope you didnt mind the side convo in your thread.

actually i have four screens with 18 plants under each screen, with two screens under each 600 watt light. and honestly if i had all 72 finishing at the same time it would be a pain to trim, but 18 every two weeks aint that bad. just remember that every other weekend you will be busy; cutting/planting clones, transplanting where needed, and moving plants to flower. i have it worked out to where every other weekend that i dont get paid i'm busy with my plants, because i dont have anything else to do. but hey check it out, i could go into extreme detail, and probably end up writting a marathon post, but i dont have any pics of my new set up, and i'm at work, and this isnt my thread. so what i will do is leave you the thread that was my inspiration. its from the almighty Al B. Fuct. he uses hydro, but i do it with Coco. but hey read it, use it, and tweek it to your specifications
Enjoy my friend!

thanks zen! i appreciate it

Not a problem man, I welcome meaningful conversation in my thread, gets a little boring over here sometimes.

 

[rzza]

right on, i always say that in my threads too but some people seem to find it rude.

First off, great grow!! Impressive for such tight quarters!! Ever think about doubling up and growing 16-18 in that same space? If you were to "cola grow" or just leave the top couple branches and the cola's I bet ya could.. just an idea (saw it in reggaerica;s journal, and about to try the same thing)..

Also, I have 2 alternating grows going as well, only issue is I get "bottlenecks now in cloning and vegging at times so I had to tweak it a little to make it work..

Great grow!! Love the results!!

I would do a SOG if growing were legal. But medical laws keep plant counts low, so we do the best we can. If I was limited to like 3 or 5 like some states have I would have to dwc single plant bushes under 1ks..but I'm somewhere in between.

 

[machnak]

Good shit someguy, looks great! I'm subb'ed the rest of the way!

Right on, I understand..

Mind me asking, How often are you flooding? Are you flooding at night? I am converting one of my flood trays into a SWC, but I have a 3x3 flood that I will leave as is and I always like bouncing around idea's or see what others are doing.. just cutious.

I flood for 15 minutes every 2 hours and only twice after the lights go out..

Glad you could make it man

I flood 4x a day spaced pretty evenly throughout the 12 hour light cycle. none at night. I mix in RW grow chunks into my hydroton though, so it has a little bit more retention. Not sure if pure hydroton would be fine over night without water or not.

Thats why I like to ask, never heard anyone mixing RW in with their hydroton.. Nice..

I just went nuts with one of my grow tables for experimental purposes..

I added a flood and drain at both ends of a 2x4 tanle (covered with 10 grow holes) (SOG), added 8 airstones that will sit in 3 inches of continually flowing oxygenated water)and should start the grow in about 4 weeks or so...

 

[Shrubs First]

Sg, lookin clean. I wanna see some serious bumpers comin from this thowy watt though.

9 plants underneath it? Shooting for 3-4 zips per plant?

Got 11 actually because I decided to let the LA woman mother go to flower. But yeah hoping to pull at least 24 this round due to bad training, and the timing due to the move. But hoping the scrog and better timing can get me more like 28-30 with 9 plants the next round. I have all pe for round 6 so I think 28 is def doable.

 

[rzza]

someguy check out my LA woman man. this things my pride.

That sounds terrific man. You boost em up to 2.0+ EC still? Im thinkin eith this current round of plants, im tryin to max at 1.5

beautiful vegger, sturdy stems, buds are A- at best. Bout the same yield as the pe tho, real dense nugs...def unique, but I like some others better.

max at 2.0 now, I usually only go to 1.8 but it drifts up a little sometimes.

thanks for your input. its not the greatest news ive heard today. thats a mother to be of my next crop or twelve. i have others to concider tho. lsd and sleestack come to mind. oh and motavation

haha it's not a bad strain at all, just not one to be primary production IMO. I am sticking with the PE and trying out the Afgan kush. The sample plant was tasty and the buds grow just like pe. I'm also going to be trying nirvana ppp and some of the other seeds I got when I get a chance.
