[ganjaluva2009]

Hello everyone....well after much thought and alot of time constraints, i decided to shut my perp. ebb n flow down for the winter....ill be starting it back up in january...so in the meantime, im gonna try something a little new to me...im going back in soil, and im growing a bush...up until now, the most i ever yielded of one plant, was right around 3ozs...i want to try and maybe triple that with this grow....there was 2 canidates up for the taking for this grow...i had a huge romulan thats been in veg since may and i had this Afghan Kush thats been in veg since April....the Rom was actually a little bigger, but her structure was off...didnt suit my liking, so i went with the AK...i got about 10 cuts of this back in april from an associatte and i flowered 8 or 9 of them off and keep this one for a mom...well at last check, i have 17 diff strains in pots, so its not feasable for me to keep them all...so this ones gotta go....i just harvested fri night,and i still need to bomb my room and take down my ebbnflow, so she wont go in flower until wednesday...i just had some time this morning to start this journal...take care and keep those buds reachin for the sky....ganj

so here the specs of room and nute line-up

flower room..
8'x8'
1000hps air cooled
400hps side lighting
8" vortex inline
8" Phreshfilter
2-6"inline fans pumping in fresh air
2-15" oscillating air kings

nutrients/soil
roots organic soil
complete line of GH organic
includes biobloom, bud, weed,root, marine,calmag and black diamond and a few others i forgot right now

so sit back relax and enjoy the show...it should be a good one..

and heres a few of the chosen one....

here she is now...legs spread like a tijuana whore....tied her down so she gets alot more light penetration...ill have her under the 1000 and have the 400w for side lighting and spin her a 1/4 turn a day...should i let her veg for another week or so to fill in, now that shes spread, or will she fill in during the first few weeks of flower?

Just wanted to give a little update of whats going on with the big girl...its been super hot on the east coast over the past few days and that has raised the temps of my rooms a little over my comfort range...my rooms are in a basement, so usually my temps stay a stable 78(lights off)84(on)...but with the added heatwave, my temps in my flower room have jumbed to around 92-93...i dont have AC in my room atm,but if this heat stays around, ill be grabbing one this week...my veg area is 85-87ish, so im not worried about that as much...the 400w that im gonna use for side lighting isnt aircooled, so until i figure out what im doing with heat situation,im hesitant to put it in...it will be in there before the end of the week either way... so other than the heat, everything is going good...i watered with molasses water phd..she sucked up almost 3 gallons with this heat..i also gave her a foliar cal/mag solution 2 on wednesday..tomorrow will be day7 of 12/12..there really hasnt been any stretch yet...she has filled in more in 7 days...should start shooting pistils in another week or so....this kush is a fast fairly fast finisher, as i usually give her the axe right around 62-65 days...this pheno did amazingly well in my hydro S.o.G, so im interested to see how she will perform in soil...i have a super skunky killaqueenXnycd pheno that i might add to this journal also...it will be a seperate grow, but on the same journal..havent decided if i want to journal it yet or not...anyway, heres some shots from a few days ago and few from this morning right after lights out...let me know what u all think...peace and keep em green peeps...ganja

 

[ganjaluva2009]

i read that with growing big plants in pots, its better to use a more aggressive feeding schedule...is this true??with my soil grows, i usually feed, water,water,feed,water,water,...so basically every third time i water, it has nutes in it....should i bump this up to maybe feed,water,feed,water routine...or just stick with the schedule that i use on my smaller soil plants and see how that works??this is a organic grow, my first one...and i know its alot harder to burn when growing organic...but i think its still possible??could be wrong...

the growth of the shoots looks pretty thin all-round from the pics not sure why that is .. did you have the light very far away ?
its still a pretty big plant and should yield well and hopefully thicken up when it flowers
looks like it needs thinning out though to promote more colas and less popcorn buds

yeah...during veg, she was struggling for light as i had myself in the midst of a jungle...one of the reasons for flowering her off...
ill take that advice, as i kinda thought she needed thinned out myself...like u said, i hope she thickens up during flower and im pretty sure she will...thanks for the input doc...ganja

no problem dude .. a lot of that growth will not amount to much when it flowers
but the upper halves of the branches will still put out newer fatter growth ..as she flowers

you can thin it out as it grows all through its grow cycle, you don't have to thin it out all at once,
i think that might be better to thin it more gradually as she grows to see how she responds and to see how well the thinner growth starts to bud ..
as if you remove too much growth .. and it doesn't fatten up the overall yield would be smaller .. but i see no reason why it wont fatten/cluster up if you can now get it under some nice intense light

 

[ganjaluva2009]

hey guys...heres whats happening with the big girl....well for the past 2 weeks, ive been thinning her out a little at a time....getting rid of all the smaller lower branches that are more in the way than anything...i still havent put the 400w in because of lack of time...she will be going in tonight, so next time i update, it will be in....so far everything is going great...i have fed her twice so far and so far i can so that im fairly un impressed with the gh organic line....just seems like its lacking something in the uummffffff dept...im gonna bump up the ppms this feeding so we'll see...i added great white and molasses to the lineup this feeding also...temps in the room are still hovering right around 88 with lights on and 80ish with lights off, so they have dropped...weather is bueatiful on the east coast this week, im ready to hit the lake for some monster bass in a couple hours....took a bunch of cutts last night to prepare for the next run...im gonna do a run of 30....10 romulan,10 jackberry(purplepheno)10 jackberry(greenpheno)....until next time, puff puff pass...

whats up ChB??thanks bro...she is a hefty woman....ive got some grows under my belt, but its my first attempt at a big plant like this....so its a learning experience in itself...she eats like a pig and no matter how much i give, it doesnt seem to be enough....ill feed her again in 2-3 days, and this time im going to mix up my nutes according to there "heavy" feed chart...see how she responds to that....she not showing any deficiences really, she just a little on the light side for my liking...would like to get her a little greener...going to put the 400w in tonight for the side lighting...then she should really start to fill in...this strain is a pretty solid yeilder, so im excited to see her grow...anyway, thank for subbin' and hopefully she puts out like the big whore she is

 

[chb444220]

yeaa thats one hell of a plant! gonan be a fun time trimmin all the buds! hahaha. and yeaaa thats a real good idea to have sum side lighting. if u diodnt all the smaller branches would end up jus tpushin out lil popcorn buds... and that would be a BITCH to trim! hahaha. looks very good tho man. very healthy. =)

 

[ganjaluva2009]

yeaa thats one hell of a plant! gonan be a fun time trimmin all the buds!

i was just talking to my wife about how much damn trimming its gonna be....all part of the game though...and thats why i trimmed alot of the bullshit, thin, underbranching...more juice to give to the mains

Nice looking plant boss...Dont u think 1400w is a little much...I mean ull be lucky to get 25%(350g or 12 oz)..U could get the same with just the 1000 and use less electric..Nice grow tho will be following to seee how she turns out..
