Leached the soil tonight.

16 Gallons Carbon/Sediment Filtered H20
75 mL Humboldt Honey ES
100 mL Hygrozyme
15 mL Azamax
50 mL Flavor-Ful Fulvic Acid
PPM 300, EC .42, PH 6.0, Temp 64F

Run-Off was 1150 PPM

Like the ECs man, never did understand why everyone uses ppm then fails to indicate .5 or .7 scale. How often you do leaches usually? 1x a month seems to work for me, sometimes even less if I don't get too carried away on nutes. Looks like your really going to improve yeild this time. Great to see everyone applying knowledge and rocking out even harder. Your bud will surely be the flames!

Yea, I realized I hadn't even indicated it.. I'm on a .7 scale, obviously.

Idk, I usually run a wash after every 2nd feeding
when I'm this deep into flowering, i just hate
to get a build up when I should be getting
nugs.
 
As a comparison, here is my previous crop on Week 4 Day 4

And here is the current crop. On the same day

Shrub,

Thanks for documenting both grows so far. I have been silently watching both and it's helped a lot!

I have a question about testing your 'run-off'. Are you just testing the water that collects in your 5gal bucket? Or do you test an individual pot(s) run-off? Also, I believe your using a Oakton tester? If so, which model tester do you use?

Thanks again for the very informative grows!
 
nice to see your sick ass tent getting filled up player! this ones gonna finish strong, lets make em proud brotha!
 
Excellent work shrubs! I've been silently following both grows and you've helped a lot.

I have a question about testing run-off..... Are you testing the water that collects in the 5gal buckets? Or, are you testing the run-off from an individual pot(s)?

Also, what model Oakton tester are you using? (i think it was an Oakton or Oaktron)

Thanks for the great journal !

Thanks dude, glad to have you, awesome questions as well.

On the run-off, I test what is draining out of my trays at the end of my feeding so
as to get the most clean and up to date reading, only if I notice deficiencies, or
toxicity will I test plants individually, but if you were running just a couple plants
testing individuals wouldn't be difficult, but it would be a bitch to test 16 individuals.
I rarely clean the buckets the run-off is caught in so I test before it hits the bucket.

I'm using the Oakton PTTester 35 which tests TDS/pH/Temperature. The TDS
is on a .7 EC scale, I had to call and confirm that, because it doesn't say it anywhere.

awesome comparison and improvement this round man :clap:
how much longer did you veg this round?
Click to expand...

Thanks, they look better in my eyes as well.. Healthier, happier and much larger.

I didn't really veg last grow, maybe a week? And this grow I vegged a little over 2 weeks.
 
So I got some clones comin along in order to start my own mothers.

I have 4 Sour Diesels, 2 Chem/Dog Diesels, and 1 Querkle from Subcool.

Bought a pretty cheap and easy Aerocloner and they have been in there for
2 days... They are lookin pretty good still..

Never used an Aerocloner, but its pretty self explanatory, pH the water,
keep it between 75F-80F, add rooting hormones, and set it and forget it,
change the water every day or every other atleast.
 
Nice cloner, I need to find a cheep one of those for myself. One thing I noticed though, my clones did much better with a humidity dome then without, but that was @ 20-30% humidity. I am probably going to take my clones in about a week or so, we're almost synced up haha. Keep up the bomb work, I envy all of your space.
 
Hey Shrubs

Like the new logo, very nice

and it goes without saying plants are the bomb, very nice to see the comparrisons from last grow

I got mine at my local grow store for $160, but you can find em online for anywhere
between $120-$180. When I "manually" rooted clones I also used a humidity
dome, but with this aero cloner, I don't really need it.

Thanks riddleme, I gotta check your grow out, it's been a while, I appreciate the
compliments, I actually met someone here on RIU who helped design the logo with me.
A real cool cat he is.
 
Uploaded some pics, today is Week 4 Day 7 or, day 28,
Which means it is the half way point. At this point in my grow
last time, I had PM issues, and this time I don't see any.
I think the schedule of fungacide, and the addition Azamax to my
feeding schedule, along with these lower fans have helped with
that, also I have my off cycle temps and humidity under much
more control. Hopefully the tent stays fungus free for the rest
of the grow, I have my fingers crossed!

Anyways here they are!

Thanks man, if the cloner works for me on my first try I'll be so thrilled, I've decided
I want to grow full crops of nothing but the Sour Diesel, its huge, and it happens
to be my favorite weed on this planet. Sooo why wouldn't I surround myself with it....
I will keep a mother of it and just fill up my space with it. Exclusive Sour D is where
its at for me :-) and the avatar is also my logo for my business cards, easy to remember,
and people love it so far.
 
lookin really good shrubs! :clap:

looks like the stretch is over and theyre really packin on weight now. betting that diesel scent is a lot more prominant than the purps yea? love sour d :weed:

love the new av and thats awesome thats your business card! very profesh ;-)

Word. I'm hopin the ladies are done stretchin. They're huge! Easily hit the 30 inch mark.
The smell is so well contained, I have my intake-outake on during the entirety of the off cycle,
which is all day long until 4pm, and I don't smell a thing in my house, and friends do confirm.
Although when I open the tent there is a fresh smell of green, I can't say one is more overpowering
than another but I think when the flowers begin to open up you will be right with saying the
sour D's will be the more pungent. That lemony fresh diesely aroma is very apparent already,
when I am tending to them it seems to get all over me.
 
all sour D, that sounds awesome! cant wait to see you dial it in bro! these ladies are gonna fill out so nicely!
