Those are gonna be some trees. Aparently Mango is An outdoor plant. Because of its fast growth and height. Im glad your doing one this year because i am not. And i wanted to see how it would do. Your in cali tho and im in BC. Now the only problem is the rain up here and earlyer frost. Purple Kush cannot handle the stress up here. We grow alot of timewarp and Ak.
What medium are you using for that?

I am curious too to see what the mango does outside. I am skipping it indoors next run, but if the ocd doesn't impress, I will cut some clones off my outdoor mango and bring it back in. I can tell you, so far I am not impressed with the papaya. Yea, probably pretty tough to grow a sativa dominate up there in BC.
I am using 7 bags botinicare and one bag of organics alive in each 100 gal smart pot.

Thanks brotha, I really appreciate the compliment. I am stoked on how the buds look this early too. They are way bigger than I have had yet. Yea man, that Kimo blackberry cross is an interesting one. That plant vegged for a month indoors before I put it out. I was going to run indoors, but it seems to be a very slow strain so I figured I would put her outside. It is a bushy bitch and grows wider than tall. I am also excited about the Blue Dream outside too man, it seems to be thriving in the sunshine. At this point the BD and the Ed's super bud are the biggest looking plants outside, but the Chem D is trying to catch up.
Yea man lets see the lil skunk girl.

Hey raiderfan, I dont know how i missed this thread but i caught up! Everything looks awesome, I have a few questions...what size trays are those? What temps did you veg with, and what do you expect as far as yield?? I just started 2 4x4 trays on 4" rockwools, with a 4x4 coco mat, so im just trying to see how we both end up seeing as we are using different mediums, thanks man and again much props on the grow!

Thanks for the compliment man. I am using 4 x 4 trays. I vegged at 75-80 degrees. I am expecting 2-3 lbs, but this is my first time with this set-up, so I really am not sure where I will end up on total yield. Are you using the large cubes? I am curious to see how well the Rockwell works compared to the coco.up

PK handles the frost like a champ......

So it is day 17 now and the pk looks bigger than I have ever seen it this soon. The OCD looks fenominal. I can't wait to see those buds grow. The Mango and Papaya look alright, but I am not really impressed with the canopy. Anyway, like I said I am not running either again anytime soon.
I also am having some gnat issues so I have been spraying with sucra sheild, drenching with GOGnats and Azamax to combat them. It looks like the numbers are decreasing everyday.
I have been feeding with H&G A/B, root excel, multi zime, cal-mag. The ppms are at 800 and the ph at 5.8.

Here are some pics

Looking great! Keep it up!

This is my outside mango that appears to have pre-flowers. I am not sure what the deal is with it. Anyone with outdoor experience that has any ideas, would be appreciated. This started to flower and then finally went back to veg and has been growing new growth with normal leaves and now I see this.
Anyway, not sure what is goin on.

This shit looks sick. And that outdoor selection you have is the est group I've seen put together. Cant wait to see all of these girls take off.

Thanks Integra! I am anxious to see the outdoor ladies take off and how each one does. I took down oak tree branches today that were blocking sunlight to the Blackberry Kimo and the Chem D. I hope to see them catch up to the Super Bud and Blue Dream. I still am not sure what to do about the pre-flowers on the Mango though. I guess I will just let it go. I do have some extra PK and OCD babies that I could put out in her place, but they would be way behind now.

hey raider, i was wondering really quickly about the ph at 5.8. why did you decide to keep it so low? thanks bud

nCk

I always keep it 5.8. In hydro with any inert media the ph needs to be lower. In my experience 5.8 works best. I actually try to stay under that and range from 5.6 - 5.8.

Yeah, I agree with Raider. Its pretty common paractice in hydro to keep your ph in that range. I always adjust mine to 5.7 and let it drift up to 6.0 and then adjust it back down. That woks great for me.

I had a bit of an issue last night. I checked my remote temp/hum monitor at 11:30 last night and the hunidity and temps were very high. My mpower strip that I had the AC and Dehum connected to blew. So I ran new wires into to the room and connected each to their own. While I was in there I took the lids off the reserviors to notice that the gunk from the bloom product had turned into a slimy sludge. So I drained both reserviors and cleaned them along witht the pumps and air stones and refilled. I adjusted to 850ppm and added the budxl. Tonight the humidity is at 40% and temps at 83.

Thank you my friend. Something I have come to realize is this there is always something and there is no such thing as a fail safe system.

Those are looking very nice rdrfan,
I'm also having temp issues even though my room is lit at night..

+Rep!

Thanks BR. I run my lights at night too, but temps stay between 80 & 87. I would normally be freaked out by mid 80's temps, but with the co2 I am good to go. I will have to hop over and check out your journal.
