J-Man's TGA grow.

[Josh27glock]

yea, the longer flowering is why I havnt picked it up yet. I have a hard time dealing with long flowering plants. Maybe down the road when I can deal with it.
As for the vortex, I took all 6 hempy buckets down on day 56. Had about 10% amber trics. I would have prefered a 3-5 more days but my 4 plush berry plants were getting too big. Vortex harvest pics coming soon...
As for those plush plants. They have stretched beyond belief. one is at 6ft. the other 3 only a couple inches shorter. And they are still stretching. Also moved the last 4 vortex clones into flower room. 4 vortex under 1000watt hps, 4 plush berry under 600watt hps. All in 7 gallon super soil pots.

PIC UPDATE COMING SOON..... 13%er weed nerd

 

[PaulN'Chuck]

Cant wait to see those pics. Hope you post a bunch. Keep the updates comin!

UPDATE...
The hempy grow has officially become the super soil grow. All 6 Vortex are drying (harvest update cooming soon) and the 4 plush berry and 4 vortex are in flower room. Switched the plush about a week earlier than the vortex as I expect it to flower out a bit longer. The plush berry got way too tall and stretched right into my 600 watt light. Here is a pic of them before I tied them down. And here is after Only thing left to do is when the plants dry out a bit Im gonna pull all plants out and do a major scrub down from ceiling to floor. Then its the same for veg room. Here are the 4 vortex under the 1000 watt

Veg room is doing well, found 2 males so far out of my 4 qrazy train plants. here is the last pics of the males before I axed them. Here are the plush berry clones and the last 2 qrazy train plants in veg. peace out weed nerds

Here is a little teaser of the upcoming pic update for the harvested vortex hempies. Still has maybe 25-30 more hours of drying time before it hits the jars.

These are just a few buds from the vortex hempy run and some pics while I did my smoke report (my 1st one btw). Sorry no plant pics of the harvest. I use my phone to take pics and it wasnt in use at harvest time.

note: I am currently looking for a nice digital camera for HD pics but I dont wanna spend 6 or 7 hundred on one. Any recomendations are greatly welcome. 300-400 $$ range. I know nothing about cameras.

Test Session:

 

[Josh27glock]

RESULTS of Hempy plants.
6 vortex clones in 100% perlite hempy bucket.
3 gallon pots with 42" cages.
nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice lucas formula w/ bud candy.
vegged under 400 watt MH for 4.5 weeks
flowered under 1600 watt hps harvested on day 56 with 10% amber trics. they were with other plants in bud room some of the time.
total dry weight is 686 grams.
I got good results from the hempy buckets but for now Im gonna put the hempy thing on the back burner and concentrate on this super soil thing.

Got a flower room update coming soon also.

Later weed nerds I got some reading to do peace 13%er

 

[Josh27glock]

UPDATE: Plushberry on day 21 and they are really out of control. Ive tied down the main tops last week and now the lower buds are too tall. Ive got major issues with this. any help is appreciated. dont wanna super crop this late into flowering. My concern is my plush clones will be in veg until the current budding plants are out. Thats a long time from now and if those pluash stretch like that then I'm gonna be overgrown again. I dont have room for mothers so I clone from vegging plants. Here are some pics of the plush. the glass of the hood is 69 inches from the floor.
The vortex plants in the back are doing well also.

Veg Room: Two qrazy train in the back in 7 gal super soil. 2 completely diferent phenos. one is bushy and the other is strait indica and verrry stocky. all the other 1 gal bags are plushberry clones. gonna be transplanted this weekend into 7 gal bags.
THANX for watchin weed nerds. PEACE 13%er TGA 4ever

[Mason Jar 92705]

its getting more tropical smell the longer it cures. not really alot of that lemon smell. tropical fruit bowl maybe.

 

[Josh27glock]

Im back. And with updates.
1st up is the veg room. Ive got 5 overgrown plushberry that have become mothers i guess but I dont need that many clones lol. Still have all 4 plush phenos until I choose.
flower room: 4 vortex clones on day 38 in 7 gal. super soil, 4 plushberry from seed on day 48 in 7 gal. SS., 3 smaller plush clones, 2 qrazy train from seed again 7 gal. SS. My stuff is packed to the brim. out of the 4 plushberry, one has small twisty purple buds and looks amazing, one has enormous colas and one with medium sized buds.All 3 have a faint berry smell and smell similar to each other.

BUT, there is one of the four that has no coloring, good sized rock hard buds, and emits the strongest blackberry smell I have ever smelled. I mean it is intense. Smells like strong blackberry wine. The purple pheno looks better but this one has the pure berry smell. hope is tastes like it smells.When I pull the harvest i will get some macro pics. They are waaaay too tall to be movin around much for pics right now.
Thanx for watchin weed nerds. 13%er4life

 

[Josh27glock]

I managed to grab some pics of the small bud pheno. so far its the only one of the 4 showing purple/pink colors thanx for watchin weed nerds. 13%er

 

[Josh27glock]

ok weed nerds i've got some questions. 2 of the 4 plushberry are poppin nanners. They are on day 54. just now starting to amber up a little. it doesnt seem bad just one here and there. now should I harvest these plants now or should i try to get another few days out of them??

I do have younger plants in the bud room so i dont want to take a chance of getting any pollen on them. Will these nanners spread pollen?? I do have lots of air movement in there.

I take responsibility for the nanners. The plushberry plants quickly outgrew my room and I was forced to do some late supercropping in flower and a couple plants still got a little light stress from being too close to the 1000 watter. those are the 2 showing nanners. plushberry seems to pop nanners when under certain amounts of stress. My vortex have been under some heat stress before and they didnt flinch. I guess the plush is just a little fragile. no worries though. cold weather is on the way and my grow runs perfect in the winter.

Peace out weed nerds

 

[Josh27glock]

WOW!!! I just took down the biggest plush and smoked the scissor hash and got blowed away. it was poppin nanners so i took it down. it was showing slight pink coloring and was the biggest pheno. not keeping this pheno. nanner trait is a nono. the other very purple/pink pheno threw one or two so far but nothing major. the other two phenos are all green and not a sign of nanners. one of them has an extreme blackberry smell and is looking like a keeper.
Will update with pics soon.
