3rd grow - GDP, Blue Rhino, NL#5, Lemon Kush

Here's how the ladies look as of earlier tonight. I've moved the plants around to different buckets to get a little more even light coverage (wish I had 2 hoods in there!), also rotated them in the buckets.





Some flowers beginning to bloom. The stems on this GDP (in the front right in the above pics) are noticeably fatter than the other plants. Can't wait to see them covered in buds






This is the Blue Rhino. For some reason it seems to be underperforming compared to the previous grow. This time around it looks like the GDP is going to outdo the Rhino, but there's still a couple months to go.




I got some GDP and Electric Fruit Punch (Blueberry + Mango) from a friend who grows himself, I practically got him started and he's turnin out some dank already. The GDP he has is from clones I gave him, the EFP he got from the same seedbank from which my BR and NL came. I'll work on some more pics tmrw including some macros. It smells great and is pretty resinous, has a nice high to it as well. It's not as dense as what I turned out last time, he's been using a vertical style light setup AFAIK though. Hopefully mine will be even more dense this time around.






I seem to have gotten a nasty case of gnats in my veg cabinet, though I bought some Hot Shot No Pest Strips, they worked wonderfully with my previous grow's spider mite problem and I've read good reviews on them about eliminating the goddamn gnats as well, hopefully they come through. The NL seems especially hard hit. Luckily I've taken more clones from them already, but these are the same plants that overcame a battle with root rot before. The plants are pretty tough to say the least.

At what ppm should the nutes be at this point? They've been showing flowers for about a week now, I've been adding some veg nutes as the concentrations in the buckets dropped. I'm going to change the water over again since it's been 2 weeks, but I'm not sure how much Nova bloom I should put in there. I've got them around 650ppm right now, and there isn't a single sign of burn so I assume I can bump it up a bit.

Here's the biggest GDP plant. I put the cig pack on there to give a scale reference



How tall the plants are...maybe a foot at the tallest



And the garden shot




They've been showing flowers for ~a week now

Finally got around to getting my ebb/flow clone tray set up. I stepped up from a DIY halfassed Rubbermaid tray to an actual growing tray. This is to give the clones that are rooted and waiting to be sold or transferred to bubble buckets a place to stay alive. I'll get pics in a few when I'm done, there's lots of work to be done.

I saw a pretty sweet light mover rail system for just $120 at the local grow shop, I'm thinkin of gettin one or 2 cuz there's not really a good reason not to I was contemplating using 2 lights in a cab but with a mover I won't have to.





Got BR, GDP and NL in soil for mothers. Maybe they won't get so goddamn big so fast.

Bud pics

The hairs are brown cuz it's hard to move the plants around to test/change water without bumping them around :-/

Flushed for a week to hopefully clear up the burn issues. Went from ~800ppm, to ~500. Hopefully they'll recover alright.

Here's the granddaddy of the Granddaddy's This plant is fucking insane.













We're at week 4 today. I hadn't really noticed until looking at these pics, how purple they've started getting already.

Blue Rhino

Very nice ! Gl wit it hope to see it finish

Started flushing them this week.

BLUE RHINO

Gettin close to harvest time

Beautiful!!!

This is what I have hanging so far. 7 rows full at this point



This is what's still goin, gonna let it keep goin for a bit to let more trichs go amber. At this point they're pretty early in the window, all cloudy with maybe a few amber.



GDP at harvest

Everything looks awesome man!! Great grow!! What are you expecting in weight?
