polyarcturus *5star* general thread

[polyarcturus]

did some remodleing past few days day moved to the tents around and my entrance made it much easier to get in and out also made the room for my third tent to left should i chooses to set it up in the future.

boxes made a great secret entrance. perfect height lol.

got the time to install my drip irrigation although i dont need it right now ill probably set it up and use it anyways(it goes up down and all around leaks a little but it works good still got pressure enough to expand to third tent threw the air pump in my flower exhaust to both dampen noise and cool it down


my flowering ladys filling out nicely with some big ol tricombs popping out.



everthing else trucking along the plant i topped(top rooted checked to day purple clones got tossed both rotted guess i have to wait for reveg to take off)
cream growing fast and seedlings starting to gain momentum.

first in!!!!

 

[polyarcturus]

damn, just made some 10min desparation ISO hash... you know when your jar is frosty and all them little hairs down in there.... anyways added some 90% iso swirled it around scratched at it with a paperclip got it as clean as could. dumped it in the pyrex and boiled it off.

first off it didnt come out like your normal "wax" (dont know if the hairs had anything to do with it didnt have that many but it sure looked like alot once it was balled up) it came out like a rock. scraped up easy enough though so it was like a little ball of gold some black and red hairs that was like a rock and not that sticky, looked amazing, about half the size of pinkie nail though, so like a couple hits. packed that fucker in the bowl and said fuck it lets see if i can this in one hit. i did, and man am i high. feels like one of my "highest" times its weird actually being high for once, feels... good

Hash....good. Maybe you had some of your mites hiding in it The re-doing of things looks good, especially creating more room.

definitely needed the elbow room.

yeah that has was bomb stuff. actually thinking about mites i havent seen a mite since i sprayed forbid and ive only done one spray with neem extract to be safe, probably do another spray with it tonight.

dont remind me of mites hiding in anything! lol the is the first few weeks i havnt had to think about them.

side note:
i also went through and flushed my soil i think ive found where mt defs/overfert is coming from. i remember i kept adding gaunos and ferts from my tea bag into my soil after brewing i think my soil was over fert. so ive flushed all my plants and my recently remixed soil. plan on doing a pH test on the soil later and watching my plants over the next few days. left a control(flushed marigolds) to confirm this is my issues.

i got seeds popping a whole bucch of my crosses cant wait! bubblegumxpurple a bubblegumxWW are taking off fast, fast germination. and the 2 i already got growing are very indica dom(thankfully worried about the Bgum in them) and starting stink.

i cant wait to see what the Bgumxkush(another one of my great bag seed finds!) does the kush was one of my absolute best strains right next to the purple, both bagseed, i swear i dont know how i get these awesome genetics from out of 20$ bags back in the day. unfortunately the kush was impossible to clone.(just would root) everything that has grown so far has reatained a lot of the mother traits, hopefully i get a male from one of these seeds soon because i would hate if they where all fem. ill still breed them but getting some plants to hermie can be a bitch.

my 2nd attempt for a rocklock never popped after about a week now, im about to toss it.

then i think i will pop one of my bluecheesexbgum after i got those in rooters an ill be done popping seeds for a while. just transplanted the 4 bagseeds i grew in rooters into party cup.
at least i can claim most of the genetics as my own since i found them thats good i ought to think about names more than i have and write down the backstorys.

 

[polyarcturus]

talking good about my genetics brought me some good luck 6/6 of my seeds germed over nite put em all in rooter lets see how it goes
purplexbubbleum kushxbubblegum all three strains x2 purplexbgum x1 kushxbgum x3WWxbgum

Seeing seeds pop never gets old Brings a smile to my face.

 

[polyarcturus]

day 18 of 12/12.......

 

[polyarcturus]

all six of my seeds i popped are up and out of the rooters.

one of the purps in flower

marigolds blooming in veg tent


haha the only things not in my soil doing well (besides seedling they are all doing fine ill transpant these once i see my soil is not the soure of my problems so a week or 2)

okay maybe i lied these guys are both looking better after the flush even the retarded one in coco came around(my genetics same as the seeds i just popped)

 

[truepunk87]

that Chernobyl and cream took off man, Purple's looking good

 

[polyarcturus]

the cream is topped too i topped it the other day for a clone. clones are doing well too. i must have just been going through a phase of confusion without the mites to battle.

right now i got everything running how it should if i can figure out what the nutrient problems are i should be alright. but i think i got that finally everything is showing green growth after the flush so i went ahead and started a drip feed 2x a day for 2 min half strength fertilizer cause after the flushes i did.... well theres no nutes left in any of the soils. lol. the only things that dont get fed are the small plant i do those by hand. fed both the cream and Chernobyl 2x this week with full strength solution, and i top dressed the chernobyl with EWC when i got it.

 

[polyarcturus]

oh and i Fimmed the chernobyl perfectly so shes starting to bush out too. yeah man that thing i almost like my purple strain like to go into flower easily. its got some pistils showing up but its still vegging well.

 

[polyarcturus]

so i finally broke down cause im was just getting so pissed about the way my plants looked and bought some soil or rather i threw some shit together that healthier than what i had going on. also i was dead on, over fertilization of P. so got this bright idea(messy but it worked) that i would throw away about 80% of the soil, but i wanted to retain the perlite caue i just used a whole bunch in that mix... any ways i pot the soil in pots and filled with water till it becme souply mixed and mixed a little more till all the perlite floated to the top then i collected it with a smaller pot and dumped it in my new mix, 50% pro-mix, 20% coco coir 10% fresh and recovered perlite, 20% old soil/compost or at least that s what it became. so when i finally got all the perlite removed and the water drained, there it was SEPTIC.

so that wasnt enough for me i transplanted everything or attempted to lol i did about 60% of everything, but thats 60% better. i tried to fucking transplant the purple and errr.... split a good chunk of the root mass off so i put it back on the original pot with as much new soil as possible hopefully it doesnt fuck shit up too bad.... but the root on everything but the Chernobyl and cream where WEAK as fuck should take off in this new soil.... now more top feeding for me and no more organics to be applied directly to the soil only teas for me and some bone meal already in the soil after i get a feel for how much nutrition is left from adding some of the old soil.

so new soil, transplant, fuckeups all in a days works. oh and a big mess to clean up. :/

 

[polyarcturus]

completely natural marking.. gave me an idea this generation of seed from here on will be known as "BRAND X"

 

[polyarcturus]

PURPLE!!!!! moven fast...

found this bomb ass container plus some perfect tray like one (for the mushies) for a high humidity area got some baby im trying to save mostly little nodes still attached at the leaf, one of them is rooted... the one in the pot welll.... hes a clone that rooted and got put in my shit soil then repotted in this soil, barely hanging on i dont know well see it he come around.

Chernobyl topped way too much lower growth, i just felt i would be better to bush it out, after seeing how the plant this clone came from grew, i can tell it likes to be multi cola


Bagseed(left pic back 3 front 2 are my genetics) and my seedling. bagseed entering veg for the most part, 2 of them had to be repotted due to soil but taking off fast one of them is obvious indica dom. and smelly im gonna focus on it it think the other 2 look straight sat. my seeds are all thriving all just starting to get thier second leaves but all survivors thus far 6/6 if they die now its my fault lol

 

[polyarcturus]

purple is going CRAZY buds every where the one i broke the root ball on seemed farly unaffected maybe only a slight lag. but they both got bud all over vert is pretty sweet for working with some recovering shitty plants its looking like it may turn out alright also threw a clone into flower directly under the bulb, strain called Cream. everthing about that plant is in good shape its a little young so some of flower will be a little veg for it. ill get some pics up here later.

 

[polyarcturus]

couldn't decide what to upload so..... i uploaded it all.

some pics of veg... WWxbgum, Chernobyl and its busyness, WW flowing the same path, bagseed moving FAST,

purple is chunking up! 1 branch looking crazy nice and frosty already too(flash on flash off). mmmm purp cant wait. last pic Cream super healthy, cant wait to see what she does this will be the first time ive ever had my hands on this strain mite free!

 

[Brother Numsi]

Great pix!! You're right, the Purp is strong!!

 

[polyarcturus]

mother fucking thrips think they can move in since the spider mites are gone(ive been laxing on pest control, dont want to poison myslef and forbid did so good on the mites!)

but fuck em! i planned for this. normally if this was the old stupid me, i would use malathion which is thier weakness, but wouldn't be smart after dealing with a spidermite problem as this has been know to increase populations, but instead i prepared with their other weakness abamectin aka avid when preparing for these mites. fuck you thrips! i win! and i caught them early too so i have say fuck you bugs, you cant win! but im wondering how i got them must have brought them in somehow oh well, just glad im prepared and got the proper pesticides to rotate if one doesnt work.
