FlowaMasta'a NEW Jack H x Skunk - 1 Plant 600HPS + UVB Monster Scrog!!!

[flowamasta]

EDIT : DAY 4 NOT 5 OOPS DAY 1 WAS 13TH
Day 4 Flowering....i like my daily updates to visually see changes that are happening, and when growth slows, and speeds up....

Thought i'd pull out some of my last indoor batch, give that a mull, sticky little bitch of a nug same nug just different angles. this is around 6 weeks after drying. I keep this shit in the dark, all jarred up, and wrapped GOLD

AND MY NUG SHOTS (INDOOR)

holy shit man. looks SOOOO tasty.

so can i ask how you dry ur crop? like how long, and where, as i ran into that mold problem i desperately would like to know how to never do that again...those nuggies look like u just chopped them! perfect!

lol, thanx man! lovin it, my trick is chopping the nugs down to size when i harvest. but i don't leave them all scattered, i bunch them up in my hanging net levels, and as they dry, i bunch them up closer together, keeping the drying at the same time, and now and then swapping the outside area into the middle, and soo forth. u want to keep that fresh smell happening by bunching it up together, but not too much that they can't breathe. last grow when i chopped i filled about 5 levels on my net, by the time it was dry it would fill maybe 2-3 keeping it bunched together until it feels crispy enough to cure in jars....I cure by leaving my jars open over night in a cool dark place, and then closing them all day. and repeat for atleast 2 weeks. i tip the nugs out now and then, to make sure everything is drying evenly, I swap it around, mix it up, whatever, however you like. I've never had mould, and ive grown some fat nugs. i chop my colas down so they can dry down to the last 4 inch tip. This doesn't hinder potency in my opinion. pics tell the story if you ask me

don't know if you seen my last grow, but some colas were in excess of 85 grams wet each. If i left them as is, they would most likely mould for sure. Imagine a Wet hay bail. the middle will not dry if left no matter how you try and dry it...buds depending on density ofcourse. The more dense the more likely of mould. the more dense, the more you should chop it down. If you want to show off big nugs, take pics noone wants to open up a massive sexy bud and find fungus or mould I have too many times by other growers. been burnt here and there by what's looked like sweet bud in the bag, then you open it up, thinkin how many people did this prick get??? back in the day of buyin rippoff average erb. I kinda feel like a mini dispensary with all my variety, i wake up, and go through about 5 sorts of weed, trying to decide what kind of high i want! soo confusing sometimes lol

even if you have tiny nugs, doesn't mean you can't still dry them slowly bunch them up, it slows the process considerably, even more than hanging whole buds

Yeah man, the outdoors are my favourite, to tell you the truth i think my outdoors are the most potent!!?? they have the strongest wallop to the head, unbelievable!.
I'm very impresses with your grow mate. Led's are whats used in traffic lights never would i have thought they have enough par to create photosynthesis . wow wow wow

how are you starting them off? in rockwool cubes? just curious i was thinking this myself one day, Do you think smaller cubes would be helpful, as they would root quicker probably, and might allow them to be planted earlier....? maybe, I don't have much experience with seeds in rockwool, indoors anyway, outside yes, i broke up some rockwool into tiny pieces and scooped out a crater in the cube, stuck the loose bits of rockwool in, (soaked ofcourse) and then planted the root tip, i did this to start inside a long time ago.

 

[Gorbzzz]

I use the paper towel method to get them cracked, usually takes 24hrs. Then I put them in a small rockwool cube (bout 4cmX4cm) with a hole in the middle. I soak the rockwool in ph water with a bit of ryzo in it
Then put them in my germ dome and wack em under 3 four foot grolux bulbs

great to hear man! I too love the paper towel method, also an idea is to put in a container to keep moisture in, i always forget and lose alot of seeds to drying out!!....back then anyway, i'm too careful and love my cannabis too much to let that happen again lol You get that ryzo idea from me or you a smart man
seedlings and clones love seaweed extract as it has alot of helpful hormones needed for root stimulant....

I got carried away on my last update, it was day 4 not 5, day 1 was the 13th, so today is day 5. and i see baby trichs growing their little village of heaven, or this strain is naturally frosty

added 50ml of part A cyco PGR (plant growth Regulator for newbies) raised my light 5 inches. it shot up last night and today, the humid weather helping the massive growth stretches i presume. i want to leave her as is for now, maybe a few tweaking of some branches here and there, little uneven , my plant is more Bushy on the right hand side due to my globe being more positioned on the right side of my hood...upgrade time. that hood won't last lang. TRIAL AND ERROR PEOPLE. it's cooling is very effective with the bonus fan built in but light spread is limited. I'M A PICKY PRICK.

Day 5 Flowering for FlowaMasta!!! come on baby!! ''pulling those reigns tight' Yield is completely unpredictable at this stage and counting the tops, well i'm lazy, i'll wait till i see some nugs. Here I am expecting more for day 5 hehe....Can't help myself but get ahead. yep sleep?? pretty hard when your as excited as me

She is turning into a beast quickly, looks great Flow!!! I would recommend using Root plugs instead of Rockwool.

I copied this from a website:http://www.hydroponics.net/i/111400

Rapid Rooter Grow Plugs are a sponge like material, all natural soilless organic grow plugs made of composted tree bark and organic materials. These biodynamic plugs are perfect for seedlings or cuttings. Transplant plugs in soil or soilless hydrogardening applications. Grow Plugs are manufactured with a proprietary composting method and contains natural beneficial fungi from this advanced composting biotechnology. Seedlings and cuttings grown in Grow Plugs will be able to transplant days ahead of plants started in Jiffy 7, Rockwool, Oasis, or Pro Mix. Grow Plugs are biodegradable and 100% organic.
plugs are 1.5 inches (38 mm) across the top and 1.75 inches (44 mm) tall.

I would highly recommend using them or at least trying them out.

thanx man, i checked them out, haven't seen them around anywhere, interesting, yes they would be great i'm sure! i do like the old rockwool cubes though, nice size and stability, they hold alot of moisture, and the root system has to get quite large before it can penetrate the outside, i think this could have a larger root mass maybe? thoughts are appreciated ofcourse. I will give them a go sometime if i ever find them! they wold be great for outside aswell, quick starters, instant growth. How fast do they root?
I kinda time mine so when i chop clones i have a couple of mates ready to pick up, so when they get to 4 weeks or so, i can come and get a baby off them Mutual perpetual
thanx for the valuable info. I can't rep you soz man

Rockwool = Algae

 

[curly604]
