CFL Grow: 85w cfl perpetual SOG op

[hmk024]

I did leave a little space, only for the water to pool up and drain down slowly, i kinda shoulda added half inch more coco but eh, ill fix that. I saw these killer 5x5x6tall square pots for about 1.50 each, but would cut me down to half the ammount, yet bigger yeilds in the long run. Just something to think about.

Did a double flush on my plants, plain water, kinda fucked up and didnt ph it, but it shouldnt be too crazy. Will let them soak that clean water up and start the Gravity test on 2 of my plants.

The pH isn't too much of an issue if you water with a little runoff with the new stuff you're putting in, should wash most of the older stuff out. I like that you're only doing the gravity on 2/4 of the plants. I'm really interested if the stuff actually does what it says. If it does then I could justify the price.

Little bit goes a long way, super concetrated, even the bottle on the back says "More is NOT better!" haha so you know these guys who make this stuff, have some serious super radioactive chemical shit that can kill if too much. Haha, My next little idea is SnowStorm Ultra, i read it pumps up to 50% more trichromes then normal, but again its the same thing with Gravity, super concetrated and more is not better it says. Ill have to do some research see how those work with each other, along with my Bontanicare nutrient line.

i read that u apply gravity in the final weeks of flowering

 

[hmk024]

Yea im planning on testing it out tomorrow, gave the plants a double flush hopefully they are drinkin the plain water and i can start with a clean slate. Lets hope for rocks for nugs!

Yeah its gonna add some density for sure, hope u get 10g per...

 

[hmk024]

I hope i do! maybe more. I need to invest in something that can house them while they are drying, i have a mason jar for curing, just not a chamber to dry with.

u could keep it simple and DIY out of a Rubbermaid or a cardboard box, i personally don't believe in fancy dry chambers just cuz i believe that its more of an luxury item rather then a necessity...

but like i always say u now what u need best...

True i was thinking some window screen material and make some kind of cage out of some old metal coat hangers. They do make multiple layer dry cages for decently cheap, I was thinking i wanted to try out my contruction and creation talents haha. Im gonna see at the hydroshop they go for, if not i have a tupperware i was gonna use.

Today is the first day i started the Gravity testing. I have labeled 3 plants, A B and C, C being control only using Hydroplex and Ripe. A receives (ripe/plex/gravity) 1/3 1/3 1/3, and plant B receives 1/4 1/4 1/2. Did a slight pinch on the nugs to feel how thick they are now, seem pretty good right now not very airy at all, stoked! I have 1 more water with the Gravity and then im done using it. It only recommends 2-4 consequtive waterings, depending on plant size and health. Plants are healthy but they arent very massive, full dose would of prolly killed them. Pictures of the nugs currently are a few post back from this one, will post pics of progress upon next watering.
Hoping they dense and mass up, tryin to get 70,000 grams, atleast!*inside joke

 

[hmk024]

Few more pics, mostly wanted to show the new clones in there growing nicely! and a couple shots of the bigger plants.

 

[t0rn]

Yea, looks like 70,000+ PER plant.

That 4th picture is hot, I want to take a bite out of that nug.

 

[Archminister]

Thats some nice looking nug popsicle sticks bro. I agree with t0rn...got to have it.

 

[brick20]

Your clones taking off... How did u clone them babies..?

Buds not to bad either...

 

[hmk024]

I clone using magic, im actually a wizard IRL... jk, Im using Roottech cloning gel, with H&G Root Excellurator, and super thrive. PH the water to 5.5 or 5.6, try to zero it in to 5.5 best u can. When you take ur cutting have a clean glass of water to put it in after u cut frmo the mother, dont want air getting up in the roots causing drying. Slice it up to desire and dip in cloning gel, stab her into the cube. Fairly simple, strains take longer to root if not flushed prior to cuttings. Cuttings have different root schedules so dont discourage if one roots alot faster than another and they both are healthy cuttings. Yellowing of the leaf is common, as it feeds on itself to get some energy to produce a root system. I snip them off once they are nice n dead, get all that food utilized before i sever it off. Cutting the leaf fingers half way is ok, helps with it not to drag in the tray getting wet and nasty. Its not necessary to cut them either u can leave them intact, its just what i usually do. Hope this helps!

HERD, Great take...

So i found out a guy ive been sending questions to, posted a video Q and A, and mentioned my question about Gravity and using it with Bontanicare line. He pretty much said its poison and killer to plants, and isnt a big fan of it. Im not gonna let that stop me from trying it out from all the raving reviews ive heard, but i wont discredit him or his knowledge he shared. If anyone who is interested in learning a little more about growing, log onto youtube.com and search for sublbc, he has incredibly fact filled, detailed videos about everything u can think of. Very informing, you can learn alot, very detailed videos, i suggest anyone interested should check them out. Its worth it to see his videos and get some information about all aspects of each topic.

As for me, my grow is amazing, havent noticed too much densing of the nugs, but its still early and has only had its 2nd watering. No signs of stress or anything at all, no burns, looking and smelling really good! Can't wait to water once more and harvest to compare the sizes and weights!

 

[hmk024]

As soon as i make the post, it has to happen lol. Looking up close a couple inches to my plant, ive seen minute spots of yellowing and noticed the leaf vein yellowing a lil more as well. Immediately flushed with clean water. Im assuming its the additive Gravity, but i only needed it for 2 waters, thankfully. Hoping the flush stops any further damages! But ive noticed the nuggies are getting firm! starting to see 2 or 3 cylaxs fighting out of the same spot, looks kewl with all the lil pistils shooting out too. Ill post some pics tomorrow.

Cant wait to see man! Bud pornnnnn.
