Kitty's Commercial Grow Op-Bigger & Better Every Day!

Thanks Ganga............ :-) Welcome to RIU!



Next harvest in 9 days........... It'll be 36 Endless Sky's, all perfect clones. They are pretty meaty plants right now. Growing them all to day 56. Overall, I think Endless Sky is a "nice" strain. I wouldnt buy it again nor spend the money on it again. It is nice and thick, dense plants. But, I think the end product looks better on other strains that are also properly grown out. We'll see once the bubblelicious/snow white clones are ready shortly, but as we've grown them both before we already know what to expect. :-)
 
are you doing regular hand exercises LOLZ :) that's gonna be a lot of trimming .. unless your gonna use a trimmer
 
No trimmer! I've yet to find one that can manicure a nug properly. Ms kitty has looked a lot more exhaustively than me. Chopping down 3 or 4 lights every 2 weeks isnt terrible, only takes a few hours with two people doing the work. Sometimes we have a helper, but often its just more for the social part of that rather than 'needing' the help.

I am starting to hate Hydroton. Despite my own warnings to others about not using the Sure to Grow inserts, I'm going to give them a try myself and pick up 3 or 4 of em from the shop.




We do have the beginning of an insect problem though. We've seen whiteflies over the summer, no biggie they are easy enough to get rid of. Now we are seeing a little black insect, visible to the naked eye, and about a half mm in size. I've read numerous bug threads and havent seen one like them. This is our first problem, ever with bugs, yay but no yay at the same time. :)

The bug stays on the fan leaves and ignore the buds. They fall off if you flick the leaves with your finger. And now that I'm home without the camera from the grow spot, pics will have to wait for tomorrow. :)

We do have some Neem oil, and some Hygrozyme(spelling?), but havent ever used them just had them for a time like this.

So what should we do? :)
 
ive heard neem is the only way to go , soapy water worked well for me on my bugs but as uve got the neem id go with that before they spread , u might want to think about a change of clothes for when entering your grow and a protecive overall like those white dissposable body suits , bugs can get introduced via ur clothes.

^^ reminds me of a scientific exploration of the known yet unknown.
 
Hello Kitties, I just can not get enough of your grow!! I wish I had a setup such as yours maybe one day. Do you have any up date on the light test yet?? GREAT JOB on everything and THANK YOU for all the photos.

Aww, thanks sugarplum. ;) What was the light test your referring to? I cant remember that one.............




The Neem Oil seems to have nuked pretty much all the bugs. Horray. I'll hit em again this week once lights go out again and then every two weeks after that for preventative measures.




Today we are flowering four of the Endless Sky mothers (all of em!) and making new mommies from some of their clones just to get their size down again. We have about 350 plants in veg/clone stages right now so we have pleeeeeeeenty of plants for a little bit. Plus, the Bubblelicious and Snow White mommies have all been donating to the clone domes too, and we'll want to have a pile of that before we mix it up again too. Even though we dont plan to use all of the ES mothers that we're making today, they are fun to flower a huge plant by itself from time to time and we'll do that to some of these in a few months again..........

Ya, not too sure. For a while here it was just ms kitty posting, then just me posting, then both of us, so whatever she was working on I'm not sure...... We only have had one strain for 9 months now so not sure what different strain test we were supposed to have had....

It seems like the neem did the trick. We'll see how it goes come spring. :) :) :)
 
i think last month and this month are the worst because it gets cold at night and all the little critters want to come in! could be wrong i have no scientific evidence :P :bongsmilie:

only take u to brush past a bush that has bugs for the to be tranported to your grow , god i hate bugs , taking soil out of the equation definatly helps also , and a thick layer of sand on top if u are using soil
