well.. i had to stop using the strong '' pure'' fert's i was mixing up, i was one mix away from killing them,, allthough i have done good, by not killing them yet, ..i got me some IGUANA JUICE,,, im a strong beliver in advanced nutrients,,thier product is top shelf, ..
i didnt get no pic's but last night i had a plant that was stretching a good bit more than the rest of them,, so i strapped that bitch down so hard . it looked real bad when i left, looked like a hurricane rolled thru and laid it down,,, went out there to look today.. and you cant tell i did anything, besides the top's were a lot lower,got all the lower growth trimmed,,, i drowned them real good,, now to let them dry out and start using the IGUANA JUICE,, i dont think i'll need to do any more training for the rest of the grow, when i dismantle the support stakes,, the pipe cleaners,,,and wire i used for training, im gonna have a good pile of materials,
im definatlly going to re-do my pots for the next '' auto'' grow, i like the totes, but getting excellent water drainage and air thru my roots is good also,,, im thinking of going with these, ..7 Gallon Air Pruning Pots by Ultra Oxy Pots - HTG Supply
a little peek into the composting i do,,you neer know where in gonna gather this stuff, but heres a lot of CAMILLA flowers, and some fine wood matter.. mixed to rot, then later mixed with other stuff, .. finally getting some good signs as to where my main bud-sites are gonna be,,,im pretty much doing a SCROG minus the net,, so my undergrowth [ which aint much,due to trimming ] get's some light, .. i think im coasting from here on out,, perhaps a little moving a branch here-and-there,,,,but no more major L.S.T. or any other training,,,until i get a better watering system, im gonna use a 2 gallon sprayer, minus the '' fine mist head'' so it will throw gob's of water,
i can tell by my light pattern,,vs,,,my area,, that switching to a Q.B. system would complete my grow-room,, im glad i ran across them, and have talked to many blades, on here using them,, i was ready to get a higher wattage H.I.D. light set-up.... but not now, i too will join the ranks of Q.B. users, after this possibly the next grow, but im defnatlly headed in that direction,
Some day, I'll have a composting area... The plants are looking good! Do you defoliate to open up the bud sites to more light?
got a lot of good bud-sites going.. going to jet them get established, then i'll move the branches to make sure one isnt blocking the light of another one,, i got one plant showing me some droopy leaves, which is odd, it's been that way for a while,, yet the others are fine,, they get the same of everything,,perhaps it's a plant that likes it '' dry''... im gonna let it dry out for a while,, and see what happens,, ''THE BUD-SITES''
i think im preferring this type of growing instead of a SCROG,,, in a scrog, what dont make it thru the net, pretty much dont have a good chance of forming,, due to the shade from the bud-site that did make it thru the net, this way,, all buds that are kept, with a little manuvering,,, will recieve some light,, but we all have our '' perticular'' way of growing, when i do the auto's.. i'll proablly use a tomatoe cage.. and train the plant around it, since i dont plan on topping them,
I went from scrog to bamboo sticks and now back to scrog this grow, though it isn't built yet. My concept of its use is changing. Using the super cropping technique, I won't care about the things below the scrog and will clip that shit anyway. I'll only care about what's above the scrog, which should be nothing but lollipops.
which is the stuff you don't want; I clean all that crap off, and the late stuff is the 'test' from any plant I am planning to harvest. What I mean is, you know people say "clip a bud and try it" to see if its ready? I just rip off the underscrog stuff and burn that... if its good, damn right the tops are.
^^^^^^ i got all the undergrowth removed,, but i still think a scrog prevents any light pnetrating, once your scrog fills up, with the stakes, i can move the branches around,to allow light to reach where i want it, in a scrog, once the buds go thru the square,, thats it, no moving it around, dont get me wrong, i liked my scrog i did on my last grow,,,but at the time my room was too small, i needed to move my pots for better watering,, but now that my space is bigger,,, i may do a scrog down the road, ...
the grow is just idling and growing,,,i drilled a shitload of holes in my pots to help drainage and aireation,,, i think im done with using totes,, first and last time, with them things,,but heres some bud-porn ..
still trying to narrow down my next grow of AUTO'S ,,,, but hell i got 20+ that ive picked out,, just got to narrow it down, im gonna try to do single seeds where i can..but a max of maybe6---- 9 plants in the room,,, im gonna do that run, just to jar up some weed, and focus on the next run which will be a lenghty one,,of old school genetics, that run will be 2 strains only, FLO MANATUSKA THUNDERFUCK
WELL FUCK ME SIDEWAYS,,, i got seeds,, how the hell this happened i dont know,, yes i did reg. seeds, but caught the males just as soon as they showed itself,,,'' ALLTHOUGH'' i did have one plant, that i thought had showed me some balls,, but then it also showed me signs of a female,, and this same plant really hasnt growed worth a shit, look and you can see the seeds forming,, ,, im not bitching,, the seeds will make a good outdoor crop.. but my grow-room is fresh built, it aint no left-over residue,,,man i was really on top of this sexing... just shows you that a little pollen goes a long ways,, im gonna see if i can find these pods, but the grow is going excellent, ..
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS,,,i found this on the fucked up plant,,, thats been growing odd since the beginning,,,its a leaf , but in the center, the damn thing looks to me like it's trying to bud,,, W.T.F. i aint never seen no shit like this, ..
well i cut that whole plant down,, and got rid of the top 2'' of the soil,,, now i got 4 going strong,,,
the grow is going strong,, i got me 2 new carbon cannisters to install,,, my old ones were used, and then stored,,, so i thought it better to get new ones, ..
