First HPS Grow - 600w - Multiple Strains - Closest

Hey ADT! What up bro ?:
Hadn't had a chance to hollar at you, so I figured I would stop in your thread and say hello..
Hope everythings going good with your ladies. I just posted a few pictures of the (outdoor) ladies (OG Kush & Purple OG#1 I just harvested a week ago. Its some damn good tree! Had my buddy glued to the couch the entire time he stayed with me. Lol. Also has me in orbit when I toke on them! Hell that's why I hadn't been on much over the weekend. Haha..
Had to switch back to reggie to get shit done! Lol

Well bro, like said I just updated the thread if you care to stop in and take a gander.

Your bro, Dank.

Pulled a few fans leaves off blocking bud sites on the Unknown #1 plant, hands are just sticky and smell so sweet just from rubbin' around the plant. Cannot describe this sweet smell, swear it's on the tip of my tongue but just can't figure it out. Just incredibly sweet.

Buds are starting to fill out more but not swelling or fattening up yet. Only on week 4 I think of flowering so still got a bit to go for some more fill out and fattening up.

Update and pics come tomorrow like I said. Getting my veg plants repotted and other things so I'll be doing things with the plants I have to record anyways.

Hey man, things are going smooth. Going to be doing an update later so you'll have to come back and check it out.

Haven't stopped by your thread yet to check out the ladies so I'll do that in a few minutes. Still waiting for some goodness myself, so sick of this schwag I can't say it enough lol. I would do anything for some of that harvest you got there

Sorry I couldn't get a full update done today, never got my stuff that I was suppose to. Here is a picture from yesterday, with flash, of Unknown #1 Day 26 of Flower.

That looks to be a very frosty breed.

Good luck,

JD

Thanks, that's what I thought for how early flowering it's in. I want to try to take a late clone if I can; it's a very branchy plant with a lot of lower, inner, branches not adding anything to weight, but could be good clone clients.

Thanks again,
ADT

That lower stuff is also much better configured for cloning.

The types and amounts of hormones in growing tips makes
them less viable as clones (typically just much slower to root)

Good luck,

Alright, cool. Thanks for the tip! Some handy information that I didn't even think about lol.

Note to Self:

Starting AACT brew. The recipe I am using calls for 2 cups of mix, then some table spoons of other stuff, for flowering. Since it's the first feed, I will be cutting everything in half and doing and a half dose of flower AACT brew. I will feed in 2 days until good run off occurs. I will make sure it is a good batch and it hasn't gone bad before I feed.

Organic time! Couple of them are pretty droopy so I might have to water again before I feed.

Update Time!

Alright. So I haven't done a full update for awhile. I have been waiting for some stuff I ordered to get here, some plants transplanted, and just get some things done. Now that I feel a little more caught up I'll tell you what's going on and post more pictures in a bit to this post, going to grab some breakfast and do watering before the pictures. So just hold on


Veg Cab:
I finally put some small exhaust in the veg cab; just a cheap PC fan pushing around 70cfm, better then nothing. Temps are steadily around the same temp as the flower closest, between 77-82F during the day. Nights are probably between 70-72.

I also transplanted the 8-ball kushs #1-3 and the 1 BD x BLG into 2g smart pots yesterday. They have been getting angry with me last few days being stuck in those 4" x 4" pots, (you might see some lower leaves yellowing), so now I know to get plants out of those after 7 to 12 days. The Auto Purple will be transplanted in a few days into a 2 or 3g Smart pot. No flowers on her yet. All the plants in the veg cab are happy now and are just reaching for the lights this morning.


Flower Closest:
So today is the first day the three flowering plants (2 Platos & Unknown strain #1) will get their new first organic AACT feed today. With my flower recipe I used I cut everything in half, start slow and build up. I am really excited about this organic feeding, feel more comfortable with it already.

Unknown #1 has been flowering for __ days now. I'm starting to see some pistils change color and a lot of trichs still coming. Not too much swelling, and I don't know if it's just early but they don't seem very big lol. They feel hard for what they are though as of now.. I tried to get some scope looks of the trichs and to my eye most if not all still look clear. Smells sweeter then hell, and is super sticky.

The two Platos have been flowering for __ days. It's really just starting to get more pistils; I would say like preflower stage. No real smell to them yet, just a little skunk/dank smell to them.



So I'm pretty much hoping to get enough off Unknown #1 to last me until the two Platos and that Auto are done. Then I'm hoping those Platos and Auto will last me long enough until the kushs and BDxBLG are done, then after that I should have everything down in the perpetual cycle and hopefully see the weight that I've been aiming for this whole time. If I get anymore then except now then I will be happy up until then.

Alright.

Sorry I didn't post pictures like I said I was going to on the last update, didn't have time. I'll try to post some more pictures of the other plants too.

Here are two pictures of the Unknown #1 plant flowering for 29 days now, today is day 30 but the pictures are from yesterday. Starting to fill out, ton of trichs building up, all trichs look pretty much clear, few hairs turning orange, super sweet smell, buds starting to get hard, sticky to the touch, ton of small tops, four medium size tops.






Wondering when this one will finish. I mean sativas are up to 12 weeks which I thought it was but I can see it finishing in 3-4 weeks. If it goes 12 weeks these buds are going to be a lot bigger then I thought, which would be nice.

It is looking very nice....interesting...I wonder about its heritage.

Good luck finishing the cycle.

JD

Thanks, it has defiantly been and interesting strain to watch grow.

I only took one clone from it a week or so ago while it was flowering, hoping it takes. I might try and take a couple more if there is any down their.

Would love to try to breed the strain back to figure out what it's from.

Look Good ADT.Nice work.

Thanks Beech! Sure seemed like a rough ride at the beginning but it's defiantly paying off now. I can't wait to chop her down lol

You better take a seat gonna be imo 4-6 weeks,might wanna think about some support,there gonna need it!!
Some due stakes, I use Twine. Dont forget the Bud Candy,I mix my Sweet in 1 gallon milk jugs.
Doing some grape now,They really Fill the buds in solid.

I have not tried BC,I'm happy with Bonts,and always get it Free.

Yeah I look at the crystals almost every day and I'm just seeing clear trichs. I don't think I've even seen much cloudy ones if any. If this girl goes for another month or more, it's going to be fat!

Yeah I planned on either using stakes or I got shelves and such above the plant I can tie off to if I want to go that route. I can always do a combination of both as well.

See I quit feeding it the BC because I read that synthetics just kill off all microbes, I just didn't want to risk it you know. If it's safe to use I'd be happy too. I think that's what helped in this early trich growth and sweet smell it gives off.

Hmmmmm...research this one.

Will do, see what I find. I mean if Beech is doing it, it has to be okay lol. I need to know why though.

I read that about synthetics in that Team with Microbes book.

Hmmm...I could see where the addition of synthetic nutrients can have
the effect of putting the food-web off balance. (recall the effect of nitrates
in detergents on our water systems...it was food after all, but it wreaked havoc)

Let us know what conclusions you form.

JD

Notes to self:

Top all 3 kush plants, and the BD x BLG today.
Watered the 2 flowering platos with plain water.
Need to put two clones in soil.
Need to transplant the Auto Purple and start giving it some HPS light.
