jd's assorted tga mini-garden

hey all

i got bored today and i wanted to share my garden with y'all. its nothing special, just enough for my personal needs. i am an amatuer grower and my grow is still a major work in progress. i veg in closets with cfl's, and flower in a 4x4 tent under a 400w hps.

this will soon be updated, as soon as i fix my slight heat issues i will be getting a 600w for the tent. i also plan on eventually upgrading my flower tent and using the 4x4 with the 400w for vegging. i know the cfls make my plants lankier and lowers my yields but they work for the time being.

i am currently using a FFOF/ light warrior mix. roots organics liquid nutes, and i have started top dressing with crushed oyster shells and pure worm castings. i also dust plant roots with a pure endo myco mix during transplant. this will soon be upgraded too. i plan on making some supersoil soon with Down to Earth's Pro-Organics mix as the base, and slowly tweaking it if i see fit.

I currently am using 2gallons for keeper clones and seedlings, and transplanting into 7gallons.

i am currently running two chernobyl phenos, a BCS dominant ace of spades pheno, and a ripped bubba seedling.

anyway here comes some pics! we will start with the flower room

tent


"White Lime" Chernobyl 6 weeks (usually goes 9-10 for me)


bloodwreck dominant chernobyl at 7weeks (it usually goes 11-12 for me)


Ace of spades experiment 2 weeks, the hps makes it look yellow, i can promise theres no yellow on my flowering plants atm except for one bottom fan leaf on the white lime chernobyl


Ace of spades with zero training 1 week (both ace of spades will be getting lifted up by bricks/blocks today or tomorrow so the canopy is more even among all my plants)

now for veg

"white lime" chernobyl getting ready for training



white lime chernobyl mother plant



little ones! (white lime chernobyl (big pot), ace of spades (right), and the one in the back is a slightly calmag deficient white og (getting phased out my garden, too earthy for my taste)



Ripped bubba seedling (tried to pop 3 seeds, 2 popped, one is picture, the other one underwent surgery and may not make it)



i also have a few more ace of spades and bloodwreck dom chernobyl clones in my clone dome that are waiting to be planted. most of these clones will be needing to find new homes soon so i dont go over my limit...

feel free to critique, offer advice, or ask any questions.

cool bro, i'm in.....you will be amazed to see your total flower times shorten by switching to super soil/h2o....bottled nutes will stretch them out...

right on. i have thought for a while that my plants seem to be taking too long, it wasnt confirmed till i started lurking here about 6 weeks or so ago and i realized people were growing similar phenos all finishing a week or so earlier than me. was hoping the supersoil would fix those types of issues. in the meantime im cutting farther back on nitrogen in flower and im adding co2 via dry ice and hoping that will help too.

figure id share these pics from a previous grow. this was about a year ago or so when i still wasnt sure on cloning. it is the plant my avatar pic is of. and it is the plant that turned me on to TGA. i popped a singe vortex seed and this is what i got........ not sure wtf happened or how it turned so purple. but i wish i had learnt cloning before i grew this baby out, but i never thought it would be that dank lol. now i know better


it had a very clearheaded but potent motavating sativa high. if I smoked it and tried to sit still and not do anything i would almost start having panic attacks lol, and it smelled and tasted like mango lemonade. some of the dankest smoke ive had to date.

....ouch, the one that got away! everybody has one...she looks sick!....sorry.

Looks like it might make it!. for a few days it wasn't opening. looks like it might be a mutant tho, which would explain why it needed surgery to huck its shell. well see what happens.



and heres the healthy ripped bubba. both were germed and planted at the same time.

Bud porn!

finished product from last harvest. at some point i will do smoke reports on these strains.

dude, those nugs look fantastic!

things seem to be coming along quite nice. still about 2 weeks off from harvest on my chernobyls.

the healthy ripped bubba seedling is doing good. the one that needed surgery is a deformed mutant. so i will be culling it.

ripped bubba.


chernobyl #1 ("white lime" pheno)


chernobyl #2 (bloodwreck pheno)


AOS Tomato cage experiment


AOS no topping or training

somehow PM made root in some of my plants (humidity skyrocketed a few nights back and i like a dumbass left my window open in the room where my clone closet is, im guessing thats how). some of my planted clones were showing some small little areas of mildew on the leaves so they had to all be tossed, i then cleaned that closet and have sprayed all my other plants with neem oil as a preventative measure. i will start doing this once everyweek or so. no sign of it on my seedlings/ White lime chernobyl mothers, or flowering plants which are all in seperate areas of the house so im hoping they are ok. unfortunatly i only have a few unrooted clones left in the clone dome of the AOS and Bloodwreck chernobyl and if they dont root or show signs of PM i will lose those two strains. no that big a deal as i do have more seeds of both and other strains to try, but still kinda sucky.

on a brighter note the flowering plants are looking good, and i started some more seeds and have one new cheesquake seedling, and hopefully one more ripped bubba seedling (tho this one is some sort of mutant too. it sprouted just as a white taproot with no seed hull or cotyledon leaves. but it is now slowly growing cotyledons and first true leaves out of the bare taproot, wierdest thing ive seen from a seedling.)

heres some pics. both chernobyls are starting there final 10 day "flush" today.

WL chernobyl


BW chernobyl



AOS tomato cage experiment 3 weeks



AOS untrained 2 weeks



Ripped bubba seedling about 2 1/2 weeks old now


cheesequake seedling few days old

update.

chernobyls are harvested as of today.

still no signs of pm in my other rooms but still spraying neem oil once a week just in case, but so far its looking good.

also my ripped bubba seedling is showing multiple female pre-flowers!

cheesequake seedling is coming along fine. the other two ripped bubba seedlings are lagging so we will see what happens with them.

pics.

Bloodwreck chernobyl. will need less nitrogen in flowering next time if i decide to run it again.






white lime chernobyl. this plant fades with really nice colors, and it continues to impress.











heres the ripped bubba female.



and the cheesequake



bloodwreck chernobyl drying.

Wow now that's some fire. Good job bro can't wait to see your super soil harvest when it rolls around!
