New Grow - From Seed - Cataract Skunk and Short Bus

[peaceloveandpaws]

im subbed man ! awesome grow !!!!!

Thanks for stopping by man! Will be flipping to 12/12 soon so things should get a bit more exciting.

Well, bit of change since the last update. All the kids have shown pre-flowers. Looks like I've ended up with 9 confirmed females and 5 males. Pretty happy with those numbers.

I have not ditched the males yet, just keeping them under some CFLs for any last minute pistils that may pop. Also I have a friend who breeds who might be interested in taking a few of them, so they live for now.

Most of the plants have been super cropped. There's like 3 females who are the shortest of the bunch who are still au - natural... no super cropping. Goin for the most even canopy possible.

Just waitin on the last NYCD in my tent to finish so I can take that 600 watt hps, and replace the flouros in my room. Will also be getting another 6 in max fan to work with, and a 4 in can fan. She is on day 72ish? Today and will probably go for another 5-7 days. Ready to chop her down.

But yeah, once I get all that equipment into my room, will be time to flip to 12/12 and really get things goin!

PS: I turned off the hps light that is usually on in my room so I could TRY to take some better pictures.

hahahahahaha FUCK yeah i'm so down for this

 

[eyecandi]

great looking grow and they all look beautiful, well done. they look @ 36"?

 

[peaceloveandpaws]

Thanks eyecandi, and yeah I'd say they are about 36 in tall. Some maybe a bit taller, some a bit shorter.

Day 48 today. Truckin right along. Think the ladies under the hps have been getting a little hot during the day. Showing a bit of heat stress. Temps sit 73-75 overnight tho, so as soon as I switch to 12/12 we shouldn't have any problems.

Which, I am excited to say, will be happening this weekend. I am going to chop my last NYCD plant on Friday afternoon, and spend fri night getting all of that equipment set up in my room. If all goes smoothly, I will switch to 12/12 on Saturday or sunday. I feel like these ladies are more than ready!

[eyecandi]

at that tall, it will be interesting to see how they stretch. should be an awesome grow and show

 

[peaceloveandpaws]

Alright guys!

Busted my ass this weekend, and all is up and Rollin! Finding flipping to 12/12 is a very nice way to be celebrating my freedom on this July 4th weekend. Hope you all have a good holiday. BBQ some shit!

Let the fun begin!

12/12 Day One!

 

[peaceloveandpaws]

Well, made a kind of big decision tonight. There was one lady that was just way taller than the rest of the plants. Was totally fucking up my even canopy. So I decided to top her. I know it's kind of late in the game to be topping, and on my last grow, I wouldn't have done it. But after seeing Sr. Verde on here tho basically chop his plants in half like a couple weeks into flower I decided why not.

Aside from that, all is well. I can see them starting to stretch. Constantly doing minor grooming and thinning out to the under growth. Ready for some bud production to start!

[NatureaFinest]

oh man I'm stoked on this bro. I think topping the one was a good call. Its only 1 and gives u an experiment. U may have stumbled upon somethin to help ur yield. Every thing looks fuckn awesome as always. Check out my current grow in my sig when u got time bro. I only got 1 plant but if it goes to plan ill get more off this 1 than my last grow with 2. +rep if I can gives it to ya

 

[Sr. Verde]

Yeah I chopped mine in half but I can see where some sections suffered... Ill post some pics when I harvest this one bitch, shes like 110 days into FLOWER fuckkit

 

[peaceloveandpaws]

Did some re-arranging tonight. Put my 4 tallest girls under one light. Also gave first dose of bloom nutrients. This run will be my first time trying the fox farm solubles. Introduced Open Sesame at 1/4 tsp per gallon along with 1.5 tsp of Tiger Bloom and 1 Tbsp of Big Bloom....per gallon of water. All ph'd to around 6.0ish and voila!

We're off and running folks! Hopefully will be smooth sailin from here on out.... Until I get to deal with how I'm going to support all the buds....cuz at this point I do kind of for see that being a problem. Cross that bridge when we get to it tho!!

Hey Paws, just stopping in to show some love. Good luck with everything. Re the chopping of your plants, perhaps supercropping may have been an idea, I am sure you thought of it but perhaps had reasons against it. Personally if it can be snapped, I tend to snap it, purposefully or by mistake, lol. Keep up the good work. Peace, DST

 

[jigfresh]

Hey PLnP... I accepted your invitation. Will be along for the ride from here on out. I'll catch up soon... pretty late here. Looking pretty good from what I can see.

peace

Hey guys.

Thanks for all the compliments! As far as yield, I really don't know. This is my first grow on this scale. I have broken the 2 oz mark by far in previous grows, and these will be my biggest plants yet so well see. Starting to wonder if I'm gunna be stretching these two 600s a little thin tho. Probably vegged longer than I should have, but for anyone who's been following along or cares to look back, I was having to wait on my old tent grow to finish to get my other hps lamp to put into this room so yeah...the plants ended up vegging for about 2 months.

In other news: Made some new additions to the room tonight! Both temps and humidity have been running a bit higher than I'd like, so I bought two wall mount osc. fans today to add to my current fan setup. Loving them so far. The extra circulation instantly dropped my temps like 2+ degrees all around. The humidity on the other hand is a different story. Looks like I will be having to acquire a dehumidifier. Will look into that ASAP. Definitely have to get the humidity under control before the room is full of buds. WHICH, hopefully, will be soon lol. I am juuuust starting to see little bud sites form. Should be kickin it into gear soon!

Be Easy! - PLP

The new additions:

 

[peaceloveandpaws]

Well. One week down.

Plants are looking good. Am raising the lights a couple clicks each day.

Went ahead and got a dehumidifier. It has lowered my humidity into reasonable ranges, but now of course I have lost my beloved 78 degree temperatures. If it ain't one thing it's a mother fuckin 'nother I guess. Seem to be runnin at a steady 82 degrees with the dehumidifier on all day and night. Here pretty soon I want to get it on a timer to only run intermittently - hoping that helps. I think a big part of the problem too is that it's been fucking raining for four days straight now in my area. It's pretty humid outside, and I don't think thats helping my case. Regardless though, I've got pretty good air circulation in the room, so they will have to deal. Things are as good as they're going to get until I've got some extra money for new upgrades.

Can't wait for some buds!

 

[Sr. Verde]

Yeah I ran into the same humidity problem.. the hotter it got outside, the more I had to crank the AC... the more I had to crank the AC, the more the humidity went up.... it was at like 60% day 50 flower so I went ahead and bought a dehumidifier...


funny thing is... lowes...sears...home depot.... NONE of them carried dehumidifiers! I had to buy it online and have it shipped....

 

[Devildog93]

Wow......nice tight setup, nice healthy plants. Good job. Keep 'em green like that and it'll be one hell of a crop.
