Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

Gastanker said:
In the soil is 1 Chocolope cross of my own (if like the last one I just killed, its just as fruity but much more cheesy), 1 vet/w russian cross of my own, 1 DNA fem chocolope, and 1 DNA fem chocolope that I badly damaged and am not sure will recover. I am germming 7 more chocolope crosses that should all be fem. I'm thinking of running the pot crowded with a shorter veg time.

Before transplanting I dug up all the soil and loosened it, added an additional bag of Happy Frog that I had heavily amended several weeks ago, added a few more handfuls of all my nutes, and then saturated it heavily with some good water. Plants all just received a thorough dunking in Azamax - hopefully they will perk up after they adjust to the MH. I'l be lowering my light as well once they are acclimated.

Hey GT looks really nice, are you going to run the MH for the duration of flower or are you going to switch out to HPS and then back to MH for finishing?
 
great job tanker. thats a hella lot of dirt there. i found a chocolope seed i had. thought i lost the strain when mine died. only 1 seed left. lol.. still having trouble can germ but after that they die. i need to figure this out.. i bought a clear tote, i germed 12 seeds they all came up i took the lid off cause my clones were turning yellow. then they all died but 1 . la conf x agent orange. i have a dutch treat going now but it is a seedling. who knows if it is gonna make it. i try to get out and spray them as often as poss.

I generally run MH for veg and the first two week of flower (or whenever stretch stops). This run I put the MH back in for the last couple days for shits and giggles but mostly to take pictures.

Sounds like they are getting humidity shocked. I would first suggest not spraying the plants themselves and instead spray the inside of your dome - next let the dome slowly dry out a bit before removing it or cut a few vent holes in it. It is amazing how fast evaporation can kill a plant - I've seen it happen within an hour. Of course I could be totally wrong.

I've heard people finishing with MH as supposedly it improves trich and resin production - I generally do not run the MH the last week, that was kind of a one off thing.
 
I won an oil dome from dankshizzle from the xmas contest :) Never won anything in my life... Well hand out wise.

Nah. That thing works but not as well as I would like. Actually that might just be an issue of me needing a bigger torch. This was my entry -

Looks great! Super jealous of the calyx to leaf ratio of your strain.

what strain are you growing?

Thanx guys!! love the respect! umm strain, is not specific but it seems alot of people are straying towards hashplant or some sort of afghan, she's a real heavy girl and a pinch to manicure, i'll be looking at getting around 1 pound of this 1 girl, last grow i got 1.5 , but this time round shes not as tall cause of hot weather and i didnt want to burn her, but she may surprize yet again, this is my 2nd grow would u believe. i think i got it in my blood, my dad is pretty much bob marley at the choof scene hehe stay tuned, click my signature link harvest is inevitable!!! bout a week (keep changing my mind u know how it is!)
 
So I've been puffing on the dried branch I cut early and it is very interesting... I assume the high will change post cure, but currently its like fucking speed. Racing heart, super alert, very perceptive, no paranoia but definitely not the most relaxing bud. I really like the initial hit though - completely forces your eyes shut and keeps them shut for some time. I was sitting there talking to my girl and all of a sudden I had one eye stuck shut and the other barely with a slit open trying my best not to shut it as well. "Did you just blow ash into both of your eyes? Retarded much?" - You can tell she loves me :)
 
I think I may harvest a tad early because of this!! that is the high I like! The first time I smoked the SLH (which I harvested too early) I got so high, I was like, holy shit I am high!!! My girlfriend was saying the same, holy shit you are high!! haha Anyway, gotta question for you Gastanker today! I have seen people harvesting monster buds and having their garden completely lush green, ... this isnt necessarily my goal, but my AK has no more fan leaves, just the buds, the rest of the garden is quite yellow except the buds and so I am wondering, is this a sign that my soil was perhaps not hot enough ? Now I am not sure what to do, I would like to give a boost to my BM (with the flora nova) because it won't be ready for another 10 days but it's in the same container as the AK which I will harvest anyday now... I think I will just do the water to the end this time. I will upload a few pics in my journal in a few minutes. thanks

lol feel the love. i don't recall, when did you chop the branch? off the chocolope?

No chocolope this last round - they were all the same mystery cross with drastically different phenos. The branch I cut early was from plant #1, the front big one that leans more to the sativa side.


Endurox - I hit your thread up and hopefully answered your question. Plants are looking great btw.


I killed most of my shrimp last night :( Finally bug bombed for fleas since I could finally remove my plants. Made sure to seal all my tanks up really really well, removed all nets, water containers, food, anything I thought might ever come in contact with my tanks but I guess I missed something. A whole tank of belly up fire reds :( Really pissed as they were the batch destined for my new tank. Blah!
 
sorry to hear about the shrimps... I was looking at the pics from the day you harvested again, it's so hard to guess,... I am gonna take stab at it, 9 1/2 oz. I am curious to see if they shrunk much? That Torpedo IPA looks really good too!

They actually don't looks much smaller at all. The first plant is definitely the most airy but the rest are all fairly dense and just getting harder.

Sierra Nevada is the local brewer here in town so we drink a ton of it. In most bars it is cheaper than Budweiser and at near twice the alcohol content and ten times the flavor it's my choice every time.
