KneeCap's 2nd Medical Card Grow...Crop 1

I can't describe the excitement as I opened the boxes to the 2 600w HPS setups that I just got in the mail. I immediately hooked them up and put them over the freshly re-adjusted SCRoG. As you can see the canopy was tightened up on both sides. The 2 mother plants still have about the same potential as the whole other 10 plants, so I dedicated one light to them and the other to the rest.





These plants are very pliable and easy to work into the 7” x7” squares.


With the HPS's on a newly adjusted canopy. The lights are bout 20 inches from the canopy.

These 600's are awesome. I have the windows open in the corner of the room, so far so good. This is Michigan, so temp and humidity control can be adjusted with the North and West windows.

At 11:00 P.m. On 11/11/11, I turned the lights off on these 12 plants for the first time since starting the mothers on 8/21/11.

Ignore those attached thumbs down below, I can't delete them/.//

Fed Crop 1 Biothrive Bloom for the first time. Fed at the “Heavy” recommendation.

Left to right: The 2 Mother Plants... Now they are producing buds. Notice how well they have filled in the entire left side of the 4x8. There are only a few small gaps, mostly on the right. The right pic is the 10 clones. The canopy is conforming to the net and starting to shoot up towards the light. In a couple days, the net will be carefully moved up to accommodate even more bud sites coming through while revealing the stuff underneath that can just be whacked off.


In the back there are the 30 new plants started on 11/2. They were veggin' at a remote locale so they didn't get the bend-training that their big sisters got, so I topped them. After new growth is long enough, I will start to bend train.


The plant box that has the two Indica in. I'm running out of room and have to get rid of a lot of the clones in cups.


The third Indica plant. This one is the heathiest one. The weakest one, well, I shitcanned it.


The 3 Extra Plants and the NL Mother Plant. The next clone session will have to be held off on as I am becoming overwhelmed with plants in various veg stages.

Fed Crop 1 BioBud and gave them more Cal Mg+ - all on a Light mix.


The pics below illustrate the light movement that I do throughout the day...


After moving the trellis up soon, I will leave the lights fixed for the most part. <That ended up not being the case says Future Me> Its just so easy to move it around. The canopy is REALLY filling in and spreading out.

Photos of the Baby Buds...



A look across both trellises.


Crop 2 field.

Watered and Sensizym'ed Everything! Crop 1, Crop 2, the NL Mother, the 2 Apollo 13 &#8220;Extra Plants&#8221; and the 3 Seed Plants. Crop 2 got Bent. The NL and Extra Plants got staked. The Idicas &#8211; well, they shed some.

The T5 over Crop 2 with the two Extra Apollo 13 plants on the left.


There's the Apollo 13's, staked.


The Seed Plants, 1 up front and two in the back.

Today was Pruning Day for Crop 1. One of the things I hate the most about growers arguing back and forth about different methods and techniques is the issue of Pruning. If I had an outdoor crop, I would do very minimal pruning. Indoors, to me, it just makes a lot more sense to keep the plants free of what I call &#8220;Amazon Zones.&#8221; Areas where mold and fungus get out of hand very rapidly. With this SCRoG technique, it is almost Essential to prune the frill (AKA &#8220;Scraggle&#8221 under the screen. Its day 10 of budding... if something didn't make it through the screen and figure it out by now, it ain't gonna. I also fed Crop 1 with BioThrive Bloom, CalMg+ and Black Diamond.


The Scraggle. Scraggle Rock. Nothing down here is going to grow anything but long shoots with tiny buds and, oh yeah, mold and fungus. Then comes the gnats. No thanks.


This is after the shave. It was the closest one. I must say, compared to the others, this was a clean job. The others, well, I butchered em, but they are tough plants and will recover. Besides, I need something to do with all the N that is still in the soil, as I have seen evidence of N burn.


One of the big Momma's. This is the OG Kush.


There's the Apollo 13 momma.


Now you can see to the other side. That's almost all ten of the clones.


These baby buds are 10 days post-switch.


Canopy check.


One of the many Colas being pushed up through the screen.


Pile of leaves and small buds that was extracted in the painstaking pruning I performed over a 8 hour period. With lots of breaks =)

ah you drink good beer!! looking good bro.

Fed Crop 1 Super B+, Sensizym, and BioBud. Crop 2 maxed out and needs to be transplanted asap. I &#8220;got rid&#8221; of the extra clones and the 2 Apollo 13 extra plants. The Veg room is pretty manageable. I kept 10 Apollo 13's and 2 OG Kush for Crop 2.

Fed the Mother Plants with Biothrive Bloom, Diamond Black and CalMg+. Gave Diamond Black and Cal Mg to the other 10 and pruned some more. Fed Crop 2 with AgeOld Grow and Super B+.
