On the road again, with some TGA!

So things have not gone according to plan this whole last month and I am not a fan of displaying my failures lol. Will just kinda leave it at that since the last pic I took of the swiss cheese should sum that up.

Suffice it to say I learned that one does not simply grow a mostly sativa plant with a clearly indica plant lol.
On to the better and greener stuff, the 1st set of clones I took off the Space Bombs have reached full blown bush status. I took clones off of them about two weeks ago now, kept em in veg for 3 days, then transferred them to the 3x3, the only thing that compared to was watching clowns get out of a car lol. So with my tent being at capacity before they even had buds I went and bought a new tent. Bought a growlab 145 on black friday special, thought I was bending the shop over pretty good with the deal I got, then I realized it was they who was giving me the reach around. Had to wait for the tent to come in to stock so I did not get to see my exact model set up but got a pretty good idea of what I was getting. Problem is I did not see it in the dark so when I got it was not delighted to see a bunch of pin hole sized light breaches in my tent, compounding that is the fact that the stithcing is flimsy as all hell and feels like you could just hulk hogan rip the shit.
[video=youtube;duvK584gc5k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duvK584gc5k[/video] tried to find a good condensed clip, this shit made me laugh tho
Anyway so I had mixed success with the second group of clones so far, SB#2 only had one with roots throughout the plug when I transplanted to cups yesterday, while #4 only had 1 clone without roots taking over the plug! The super soil clones have thrown roots faster and harder than the Canna clones so far so there might be something to this organics (even though the clonex I used def was not organic). I went through the flowering plants and went hard on the lollipopping since they are pretty much at the end of their stretch. Will see if do not get some fat nuggets out of this one since I went with a no nonesense approach to it this time.
So some shots of the clones, and the new clones in the making

Pic of the space bomb packed in to the 3x3

The new tent I am not overly pleased with, the girls before their trim job,#4 on the right, #2 on the left, and finally them all cleaned up.

Hope you all like, lots more to come now this month, man I am going to be a busy lil elf
Keep it green everybody and merry xmas, and happy hannukkah to those kosher brothers

Been a sec since my last update, but kinda been dealing with life shit. First my grandma was in the hospital all last week, had to have surgery to untie her intestines (literally) and they nicked an artery while they were in there.... Then after thinking I might not see her again, losing my debit card, almost running my car out of gas (where the debit card fits in) and get home to a notice to enter taped on my door FML*all the same shitty day* It would appear karma is done shitting on me for the moment though.
I took proper measure with the inspection seeing as how it was Urban Housing & Development coming to make sure my building is up to code for section 8 housing (why I asked when I moved in if they were section 8....) which they recently applied for, yeah me! So I shut everything down, tore the tent down, shoved the gals in a closet and barricaded the shit out of it. And it was all for nothing, the gov't cronies didn't even come into my apt. Had it rigged so I would know if they showed up or not and everything was intact when I got home. So I live to see another day, seriously had visions of unis pulling me out of work. I am by no means upset they did not admire the hardwork that went into making my apt. look normal, but hey my plants are still here and its back to growing. Will post pics tomorrow, had the lights off all day so not gonna disturb em till the time is right, anywho thought you all might enjoy the story of what had me sweating it the last couple days.

Been pretty busy over the holidays this year, just finally got around to putting a cage on all my flowering plants. They really needed it seeing as how my big SB2 in 7 gal. container was starting to flop all over the place already. Also had to transplant the clones to 1 gal containers, treated 4 of them with ESC (2 Canna and 2 super soil, 1 of each pheno) and those plants along with 2 control plants will be going into veg at the start of the new year. I am waiting till the new year because I just transplanted those 6 into their final containers which is 5 gal., I also will not have much time this week until I get a day off from my job for the holiday.
Everything is looking good in my tent so far, this was right around the time I had lock out and the grow went down hill from there but looks lively and green in my tent from the looks of everything, it will be crammed in the room I am growing in after this next week though since I do not have much more space for the two tents and dirt and stuff. But I do not want to kill any of the clones that made it and could not find anyone else looking to take on a project so I have worked it out where I can flower all 14 plants at different times and keep myself swimming in buds lol, just need my older led panels to hold up.
Now that I have blabbed my head off about stuff that doesn't matter compared to pics, lets look at my gals
First a shot of the canopy at day 25, Lemon Pheno (#2) on the left and Skunk Pheno (#4)on the right. Shot of the 4's and an upclose look at what the resin looked like 9 days ago. 3rd set of pics is shot of the lemon pheno,the one in the back in super soil was flopping all over into the other plants before I caged it up today took a pic of its structure since its the only one that stuck to mainlining. Also a shot of the trichs on this plant 9 days ago. Next row is a pic of them caged up today. Took a pic of my clone closet, got 6 going into flower this week, 6 in 4 weeks after that and then 2 whenever I get the space, last two might end up being some big bushes before I can flower... I am almost out growing my apartment in space terms just because I have 6 clones in 1 gal. and the ones I just transplanted were already starting to get a circle of the roots on most. Included a pic of the control plant next to the ESC treated sister of it, think the growth difference is pretty noticeable (ESC on right), should have taken this pic before I topped them cus I lopped a good amount off the top of the ESC one.




Oh and ps DA BEARS STILL SUCK!!

Hey guys welcome to my outdated grow thread let me show ya around! Been busy so have not had time to snap shots of the gals as I do stuff in the room but finally had some time and they are looking real nice. I took on some foster plants, a friend was told by his land lord that they were bringing realtors over to his place to look at it so he had to shut it down since they will be giving tours at a moments notice to potential buyers. Let me just sum it up by saying our grow styles are very different... He just leaves his plants to do their thing no training or pruning, I on the other hand am quite anal about manicuring my plants guess it just comes with being an led grower. I could go on listing the differences in technique but I think pics will explain better. Now I know it is hard to see but the 3 on the right are all Blue Og's (allegedly hell if I know their pedigree) and the two taller on the left are Northern Lights again parentage not guaranteed. I will say that they are starting to frost up quick, decided to use my fox farm line since I still have to use that up. The Blue Og's are in 1 gal. containers so not expecting to break scales with these lil gals.

Then there is the tent of 6 Space Bomb's I have going, this is going to be one of the last runs I do of this strain. I do not say that out of anger, more out of disappointment since I have to move in July so won't have a place to stash some clones during the move. Its a great strain but even sub says it doesn't produce that much but the resin on it is ridiculous, everyone who sees my shit can not get over how sticky and smelly it is. But enough stroking my ego.

Then lastly in my closet/veg area I still have one of each phenotype of Space Bomb going, was contemplating on mommying them out to make clones for outdoors but plan fell through, no biggie saves me a lot of trouble. These things are freaking bushes now, can not wait to see what they do in flowering. I accidentally split the stem of SB #4 pheno right down the middle when I got to aggressive in tying her down, I apologized and tied her back together, that was a lil more than a week ago so if she were gonna croak think it would have happened by now. Also have a mother Northern Lights plant that will be getting flowered out by me, not hard to pick it out of the line up, literally what this shot looks like. Topped his Northern Lights and bent it over and it has responded really well and evenly.
Before trimming up the undercarriage today

After trimming everything up


The Aftermath and a shot from 3 weeks ago for comparison

Well that is what is going on in my world hope yall liked it, and be sure to drop a comment or rep me lol since they do not have that like button any more for some reason.

I didn't read any of that other than trimming it up, why did you trim it all up.... WHYyyyyyy.

Cus my canopy was super thick and my lights get shit penetration so I need to keep my growth on a level plane if that makes sense, so I have like a 12 in. canopy zone where if you are a leaf you alive, but if you are below that ya get the axe so I keep air movement goin and light gets through. You sound horrified?#plantbutcher

The plants that were under the IG got the hack this weekend, could not all fit on my drying line so had to bust out my drying rack. They were quickly replaced by my foster children and the last of the Space Bomb I have growing, phasing that one out .
The front row is Space Bomb Skunk Pheno, Northern Lights in the 5 gal. and on the right is Space Bomb Lemon Pheno. That is the front row, the sorry looking bunch in the back are my foster kids. Can spot the Blue OG's by what is deficient/having problems, this strain is fucking annoying. All 3 are showing different def., dude said the guy he got the clones from bitched about it but damn! The ones that are green and happy are the Northern Lights, one is just a lollipop of bud, hoping it fills out more under the IG since the leds were not hitting it that great.

Canopy shot, the lollipop could not squeeze in for this one, hell barely got the space bomb bushes in.

Started germing some seeds for a new journal I will be starting in tandem to this, will be in my 42x42 hydro hut. Will be getting 4xRW-75s from A51 this week and I will have 16 plants in 2 gals. 12/12 fs, will be 24/0 till the new lights get here though, doesn't matter much since they don't flower till they are sexually mature anyways. 5 different strains, all feminized Nirvana beans cuz I have a lot of those sitting around, 4 Raspberry Cough, 4 Blue Mystic, 4 Master Kush,3 White Rhino, 1 White Widow. Not a lot of faith in the seeds of Raspberry Cough to germ strain is 0/6 for me and 2 of them sunk when I gave them a quick dunk before they went in the plugs. One of the Rhinos sank to so I crushed it right away just cus have heard if they sink they are no bueno, but decided to show mercy with the RC cus I am running low, hoping for a miracle... Anyways keep an eye out for that one folks

So after getting my transplant finished yesterday I did not have enough time before lights out to do the flush of my foster kids and water my gals. Got to it tonight, man I really wonder what those little runts could have done given a good medium and a bigger container, the lil northern lights took like 15 minutes to flush because it has like zilch for medium drainage.... Well now that I have babbled a little check out my gals
Group shot
Back row left, got a little blue og in a 1 gal nursery pot, whitest pistils of the 3, then the Northern Lights front and center in a 3 I think (dude's cont. not mine)
Then we got the 2 ugly duckling Blue Og, this strain wreaks of fruit, kinda blue but I have had worse in bags that I have grabbed and the little Northern Lights that doesn't like to drain didn't quite make it in, no biggie not missing much there
Then my space bomb lemon pheno and the skunk to its right (picture wise not in the tent)all trimmed up and ready for business, Northern Lights retired mom trimmed up

So I caged the gals up today. The Northern Lights is getting thick quick compared to my space bombs, kinda figured it would but it is interesting to see them run next to each other. The resin production isn't even comparable TGA takes the cake there by a mile. You'll see in the pics, I took some zoomed in shots of all the plants. The Skunk pheno just did not want to be contained, gonna end up hanging branches with string from the cage when they get heavier. I am pretty happy with how the Space Bomb is filling in even though the NL puts them to shame growth wise.

That worked out pretty well since they only allow 10 photos per post now, hope you enjoy the bud porn.

Bud porn is always welcome, looking quite frosty. Keep up the good work!

Well have had some developments over the last week so I figured I would post a lil update. First thing is my seed order arrived today! was worried that it would get snagged by customs in chicago, I also got the freebie of Space Candy that I was worried was sold out when I placed my order. Another happy occasion was I found out I had mislabeled a couple of months a go and have two of the skunk pheno in my flower tent. These are the last two space bomb plants I have and was delighted to smell em and get that funky sweet skunk smell, thought something was up when the "lemon" did not strectch like it usually does. Also the Northern Lighra momma was actually blue OG. started to suspect something when she looked a lil yelllow last week and I blasted the Northern Lights with nutes last time with no problem. Was confirmed when I bumped into the other day and got a blue scent off of her, like blue kool-aid as I described earlier. Took some pics of the seed packs cus I am a lame like that lol, Grabbed Karma's Bitch, Scott's OG, and Moonshine Haze was the freebie from Rare Dankness, and the TGA I grabbed was Timewreck and Dairy Queen, with the free 5 pack of Space Candy from Heroes of the Farm. Too many other freebies for me to want to list them and take a pic.
Heres the piktchas.

Group shot, Space Bomb, Blue OG, Space Bomb

New bean day...yay! I love getting new beans in the mail. I just got some from Shantibaba last week...took a long time to get to me, but so worth it!

Eell I guess august is just the month for me to take my break from growing lol. I will be germing a 5 pack of Qrazy Train and Timewreck by TGA then once I see who germed and put them into 1 gals. I will be germing 5 afghan ghost by Rare dankness and 5 White Lotus by Bodhi so stay tuned I shpuld have an update on my new setup in a week or so

Lookong good nate. Whats that with that big cola. Holy fuck

Thanks D Thats the blue og. If I can find it later I will post up a pic of closer to harvest, she was pretty swoll indeed but didnt pack on the frost super hard. Still decent tasting smoke though

Like I said plenty big but not as frosty as the space bomb was
