just a quick little update, gonna update more later but computer is running retarded slow right now. these are just a few of the older girls going on 4 weeks now, and the re-veg girl that is flowering hella slow! shes been through a lot so ill cut her some slack
here's the rest of the pictures from last night. i'm taking more right now, of these females and of the rest of the bunch more in depth. been feeding almost every watering with some orchid pro 11-35-15 at 1 tbsp per gal. the last watering for these girls, yesterday i think, was 1.3 tbsp per gal. might of pushed it a bit. gonna flush next watering with straight h2o. also cut a few weaker females down so far and chopping some more tonight. chopping some of the weaker ones yet to sex as well. trying to make room for my "prospects". added some new buckets to the grow. some dollar tree trash cans i tried to use like aero pots. worked good except for the fungus gnats. oh yea.... they're back. mixed 1tbsp of neem oil, 1 tbsp of peroxide, and a couple drops of dish soap per gal of tap water. foilar sprayed with that and hitting the roots as well. i need some sand really, that shit works wonders on those little fuckers. the perlite did ok for a while but not as good as the sand. gonna put about 1/4 inch of sand on the medium and cover that with perlite.
thanks cat. yea they're a pain in the ass. but bugs = bad growing techniques, oh how harsh the truth is! other than that tho everything is goin pretty good. the next batch of females is starting to bud up. im kinda liking this staggered grow. i get bored with vegging plants, now i'll always have some in flower! got a new computer today (sony touch screen all in one) didnt even bother to hook it up! there's always tomorrow...
gt some venus flytrap plants this weekend. theyre tiny but theyre cool as shit! got em at lowes for like 5 bucks a piece. i try to get some fresh pics of everything up here soon. the last pics had the flash on, i didnt like how they looked so i wanna re-do em. but wanting to do something and actully getting around to doing it is two different things . i think its time for some bong hits... cheers
not sure if anyone noticed but i trimmed the lower shoots early into flower and left the fan leaves hoping to divert the growth hormones and nutrients to the top half of the plant. wanted to avoid the "fluff" i was getting with this set-up. seems to be working pretty well actually, the lowest buds on my plants are already more dense than previous grows. seems to be effecting those lower nugs more than the top cola but i do see a huge difference
so i think im gonna stck with it for a while. got the idea from seeing people "lollipopping or lollitopping" whatever it is, but i choose to leave my fan leaves on to collect light/energy.
