Didn't get around to watering the girls this morning... will definitely have to after work... should've this morning

Ended up making sure girls in veg are properly tied down and readjusting the LST on the tw/chernobyls as they have already started growing upright again on the main chute. It really seems to help the stems thicken up kind of like supercropping when you tie the main stems down under a little tension (more than the plant wants to bend)... the main stems on all the young plants have thickened 2-3x in just a couple days just from bending them over and tieing them down.

The young seedlings got a little too dry in their cups and had some lockout/burn from lack of water. They are just now starting to recover. I think I am not going to use that mix for seedlings in the future it is just too hard to get the moisture levels right.

Lil red has done nothing but grow roots, which is better than not I guess.. The Apollo reveg cut is shooting out little armlet like mad now. Potting up my C99's, Smash Hole Punch, and BubbaMaster's, along with the Apollo today. Almost time for cuts of the MOD x Cheese I have going. May need to LST the Mystery BB to make its side shoots really take off.

Yeah my apollo is going crazy too now... everything is revegging just at different rates... don't worry they'll get there :) by the time lil red reveges you should probably have a big red veg cut :)

Actually I just checked and I have 4 more cuts with roots... 7/18 rooted.. still under 50%, which is about my previous success rate, so no real improvement yet... i still have a few more cuts to go though one is growing roots above the rooter so pretty sure it has some below coming... would not be surprised to get 2 or 3 more rooted. Looks like end of March is gonna have a bunch of big red coming :)

looks like part of the issue with big red in flower may be the super soil -- minor burn signs and issues -- she went in when super soil was only about 2 weeks old, so may still be a little hot. Putting off a bunch of nodes/budsites though!! Will yield a ton more

Startied harvesting the grape apollo... NHK should be coming down tonight too... also will probably take another of the flower girls into dark tonight because there are basically no leaves left alive on her that I could see.

Ordered 2 8 gallon, 2 5 gallon, and 3 2.4 gallon air pots (so now i'll have 6 of the 2.4s) -- BB2 will probably go into an 8 gallon :)

Also ordered a tropf blumat auto watering system today... not sure how long it'll take to get here (dhl) -- gonna set it up in flower first... if i really like it I'll carry it over to veg.

Also picked up a couple bags of roots to make the next batch of super soil with, a bag of promix myco formula for next batch of seedlings and fresh cuts (done with light warrior), and a bag of reallllly nice organic compost to add to the next batch of super soil.

Everybody's looking good in veg except the small seedlings in the cups of light warrior... i'm gonna go ahead and transplant those today if I can... they seem to be getting better but still not where i like to see'em or the condition i want...

Big red in flower is looking better today I backed the lights off yesterday to a little over a foot as she seemed to still be having issues with the lights so close... i don't see any further effects today with the lights up...

Gonna be watering everyone who needs it today both flower and veg as I am heading to houston tomorrow.

Still evaluating co2 systems but gonna probably go ahead and start purchasing early this week...

She had a little more damage after I raised it up a few inches but not enough... the lights are now about 18" away and no progression - i am gonna move them a bit closer in the next day or two to about 10-12". Lots of growth shoots, lots of nodes compared to before already... she should definitely pick up yield dramatically even with the early flower issues i'm sure. A little bit of yellowing and necrosis at the bottom leaves -- I am thinking this is due to the super soil only getting 2.5 weeks before big red went in, so hopefully will pass. In the next week she should start putting on frost and a bigger budding.

Neighborhood Kush harvest -- Blue Cheese x Lush bx1 (Larry og kush) - I am guessing 1.5oz -- anyone else wanna guess? I have one more of these that's not quite as big and looks like it has another week or two (so maybe it'll chunk up by then)
nhk-harvest1.jpgnhk-harvest2.jpgnhk-harvest3.jpgnhk-harvest4.jpg

4 foot cheesus - finally putting on a little bud weight... she's a few more weeks (not sure how many but probably 3 min). She probably won't get the chop til i come back from co. If I can just get 1/8oz off of each of those big colas i'd get at least 2oz... and i'd be happy with that
4ftcheesus.jpg

One of the adventure mix plants went into the dark tonight... it is ready enough, probably coulda gone another week if healthy, but virtually all leaves are fucked so no point.

Sparkle and the small cheesexcheese looks to be next up after that sometime in the next week... they'll be a small yielders but also have almost all leaves toasted so no point going longer.

Blueberry #2 is ready for her final transplant pre-flower -- she'll get transplanted tomorrow from the 3.4 gallon into 5 same as big red... super soil's been going a month now so hopefully will be ok for her. I'll be taking cuts before flower she'll have close to 2 weeks in the new pot before flower during which I'll take cuts. My rate is pretty stable 50% or so now and i'm expecting some improvement in that over the next couple rounds... she is ready to go into flower today if I wanted and doesn't really need to be uppoted -- only reason i'm doing it is so they get into some super soil and so they get some huge fucking buds :) so done with small yields.

Blueberry #1, sparkle, and romulan are one week behind blueberry #2 for going into flower - they will get transplanted this week when the big pots arrive (2 more 5s and 2 8 gallons) and get 1.5-2 weeks after transplant before flower.

I expect all but 4 foot cheesus and big red to be harvested before I leave town to colorado. My blumats are on the way, so i'm hoping it will keep my plants going while gone.

Just transplanted all the seedlings into 1.5 gallon containers with roots soil... also all the revegged cuts that have started putting out new leaves. The timewrecks and chernobyl are doing great... i need to do some more training on them tonight or tomorrow. Put a couple more rooted big red cuttings into soil today... final result was 8/16 (50%) -- I can live with that. I now have wayyy to many plants, more than I can flower... but that is a better problem to have than too few.

It's going to be pretty glorious once all these big ass veg plants start following big red into and out of flower... i'm looking forward to getting back to 3-4oz/plant again

Next step is getting the co2 setup going (this week -- need to order still)

I may have overdone it a little in reaction to not having plants to go into flower now...

4 mature veg plants going into flower soon
8 cuts big Red
6 cuts 4ft Cheesus (tho i expect 3 or 4 to die as i put them in a rich, overwatered soil mix... i got too many anywa, so....)
5 revegged flower cuttings putting out new leafsets
1 revegging flower cut (eva)
1 revegging flowered out plant (black cherry soda -- one of the revegged flower cuts is also her)
10 timewreck and chernobyl just passing out of seedling into veg
7 seedlings (cherry cheese, black exodus, chocolate chunky monkey, bmf, etc)

So yeah 42 up there under 2 LEDs -- I'm a bit overgrown at the moment :)

I'm taking one of the LEDs from the flower room and putting it up in veg now that I don't have many plants in flower -- until the mature veg plants go into flower

Here's the schedule I estimate going forward...

12/16 - BB2 flower
12/20 - BB1, Romulan, Sparkle to flower
1/15 - Big red out of flower, 6-7 timewreck/chernobyl into flower
1/22 - CCM/black exodus/cherry cheese/BMF into flower
2/15 - BB2 out of flower
2/21 - BB1/Romulan/Sparkle out of flower, - Big Red, bb2, bb1, romulan, (sparkle?) to flower
3/15 - timewreck/chernobyl out of flower
3/22 - ccm/black exodus/cherry cheese/bmf out of flower
3/22 - apollo 13, lil red, cheesequake, timewreck, chernobyl, 4ft cheesus into flower

damn this schedule's getting complicated already -- you'll note the ? by the sparkle. i'm thinking unless it is some super killer, it's not going through to next round -- branches are too viney and thin, expecting small yields with branches needing lots of support...

i don't know when i'm gonna get to pop all these beans i got unless i really start culling some plants and selecting down.

Hey Sensei, the sparkle is livin up to her name yo!
idk how you'll like the buzz, but I love it. Starts in the forehead, and then envelopes all of you before you realize and find you've only hit it once or twice.. Supa Frawstay too!! Check it:

may wanna do a cut or two, as you have this pheno(not the one from seed, the cut from Voidling)

Damn she's a beauty. If I can get my rooting down hopefully I can save my sparkle cut.


All that organic soil work seems tedious and expensive for my taste. Hopefully I can get my hydro system working
 

Senseimilla

Not tedious at all and I'm pretty sure amendments are cheaper than hydro nutes. i'm gonna be reusing soil soon hopefully so taking that outta the equation :) Only issue is time can never get enough

She just got repotted to 5 gallon from 2.4 gallon last night... BB2, Romulan and Sparkle should get repotted today -- their new airpots arrived last night. They'll go into flower the weekend after this.

My guano also arrived so it's gonna be time to make super soil in the next day or two... i've already gone through half the can of it, so definitely needed to do so soon... this time i'm going to make the straight up original formula no alterations and see how much difference there is.

Maxibloom is $20for 2.2 pound bag. You use one tablespoon a gallon.

Koolbloom same size and price. A quarter teaspoon per gallon during a couple weeks of flower.

Then whatever calmag.

On my little scale at least seems to last forever

My next run I plan to keep a good log of all the variables. Hopefully avoid starving them next go around. If these cuts root I'm torn on trying to finish flowering my current troubled plants or ripping them out and starting over proper

8 gallons - 3 gallons = 5 gallons = a shit load of super soil. BB2 is now in an EIGHT gallon airpot surrounded by 5 gallons of super soil. May be overkill and a waste of super soil... we'll see. Sparkle and Romulan are the 2 that need to be repotted still - both will go into 5 gallons from 2.4 -- I expect to be almost out of super soil tonight... gotta make more -- good thing i got what i need :) i'm thinking i need twice as much though. i don't know what i'm gonna do with all these plants i got i sure won't have room to flower'em all... shit, maybe i'll do another switchout grow where i swap out plants every 12 hours again :) that'd be crazy -- now that I think about it I'll almost have to... but i don't have any plans for mid jan to mid march to take any trips, so....

Big red buds filling out but still no frost layer... should be coming any day...

I went ahead and decided to order the CO2 Boost bucket for now -- basically just an exhale bag in a bucket with a fan on top blowing the air out a tube directed to your plants... i think it'll be enough for the 5 plants I got going into flower for the next months... i'll more than likely end up setting up a full co2 setup in feb... i can move the co2 into veg

Haha I did that first grow this year... fuckin pain in the ass, but it was worth it for the harvest :) it really would be substantially harder now with 5 and 8 gallon pots... compared to 3.4 was the biggest i ran in that grow. As it is I gotta lug that fully watered 8 gallon upstairs before bed. OY. She'll be a huge blueberry when she's done... and she's a well aged cut now, should be fully able to express the plants full potential.

Well aged indeed. Yeah I wouldn't swap out if they had to change rooms. Need you two rooms and just move the light. Ha.
