Day 4 of Week 16 Update Got nothing Tarryn Sisa

Tuesday 23rd August: week 8 of flower. Ladies still looking good. T3 has started developing a purple color to her leaves. My research reveals this to be a phosphorus deficiency. It must be related to the nutrients I'm giving her because another plant on the same feed cycle as her is doing the same. She's currently on GHE Bloom 3ml/l I'll flush her over the next few days to try sort it out. Photos taken just after lights off tonight.

8 weeks of 12/12

I finally decided to harvest. The 1 Crescendo and Headbanger could of definitely gone abit longer but due to space everything must be Chopped! This was definitely a challenging grow, not being there daily to check up on plants and feeding has cause some problems. The Blumat watering worked great but needs to be monitored daily as I've had pipes blocked abit and those plants sufferred from that only noticing a few days later. Now time to wait and see how they turn out and taste.

Here is Pineapple Fields 5 days before the chop. As you can see... she is a big girl. The smell coming off of her is absolutely incredible. Candy/fruit/fuel/haze. Probably one of, if not the greatest smelling plant I've ever come across. I haven't been this excited about a plant in a good while.

They looking good. That's not a deficiency... Some phenos do purple as they fade right from about the 7 week mark

Batch 2 - day 20 from seed

Changing osmotic pressure is never a good thing, plants have to spend energy adapting to it. I never flush, ever.

Absolutely beautiful fam

bru, honestly, all those babies are looking a billion times better than before they have pulled through proper and you should be proud!

Howzit fellow growers. I decided to start this thread and leave it up to the forum members to decide on how valuable/viable the info will be for all of us. This thread is about the less spoken or underground tips and techniques that can't be found online. Please contribute and share your secret tips and techniques for all of us to educate and be educated. NOTE: No politics, rants, negativity or kak. Blessings

Ive decided to go back to GHE, also that I’ll be running RDWC. In my last grow with coco and hortimix I found something was a bit off with the batch, after using it for close to a year I just found it far to much effort then it’s worth, having to use close to 220ML of A and B to get the required EC in 25 L of water. Will rather just carry the cost burden with GHE.

Wow they looks great , maybe it the 240 [emoji39] Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

On close inspection it does indeed look like teeth marks. Luckily she doesn’t seem to mind it yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is interesting. As mentioned I know porcupines do it and a porcupine is a rodent. So your rodent guess is probably spot on. Plus I think I can see little teeth marks. Nice one.

I think it could be a small house mouse or something along those lines/mole/rat. Unlike ringbarking trees, water and nutrients for cannabis flow up the internal part of the stem, so it should not be a problem.

Like ringing a tree, Stops the flow of nutrients and the protective coating Not sure cannabis is the same though. Maybe a cutworm?

So myself and @Dr. Greenpurchased a pack of Loud Cake together so I will be running 4 of them. Might stick in random clone but I'll see, 5 plants felt a bit too much in my spare.

Yeah what the Dr did to those Headbangers was exceptional. With every grow we learn and hone in on the skills that will make us happy campers. So what you planning on popping next?

Some more pictures. I was surprised with the roots and the growth. They seem healthy.

Gawd damn! Would love to know the total weight in the end too. Good job man.

If you keep the dome closed or unventilated, your clones dont need roots, they get what they need from the air, as it so moist. You can close it off in the first 24h and then slowly open or vent, more and more, so they seek food. Making roots I use old Dynaroot, and have 100% rate, and also not to leave them in water for long, just dip and go...

@Prom really teasing with those exposed roots. [emoji91] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The RH in the dome plays a big role. I followed your advise of lowering it by leaving the lid slightly ajar as my dome doesn't have any vents. When I used this process the rooting success ratio moved from the odd 90% to 100% The tops that I clone with are also relatively small reaching about 10 to 15 cm. With about one to two nodes above the cut that I fully remove with only the top tip remaining and those fan leaves at the tip getting a proper trim down. I also don't really mist or spray my dome too much within that 2 week period probably only about 4 to 6 times after the first initial spray down. Happy cloning my friend and hoping this little bit of input can help you knock those top cuttings out of the park

Thanks man, i generally do exactly that, down to sitting in water and using 6 year old dynaroot LOL, i find the hollow stems of the tops often lead to the stem going soggy from some bacterial infection or something, so i add a few drops of h2o2 to my cup of water that they sit in for a few min... that seems to make a good difference, but its not fool proof.

Day 97 52 of 12/12 But is starting to gain some weight , expecting them to start swelling from this week .

My 3 main ladies are looking rather happy in their new homes. My bag seeds are pushing through, I thought I was going to lose 1 as I watched pieces of the leaves literally burn away (I didn't change their soil, thought I'd see what happens to them). Is it safe to assume that original soil was hot?? Anyway, 1 of 3 DS seeds clearly wasn't doing as well as the others but looking better each and every day. I bet you'll immediately be able to point that one out . I gave my first dose of BioGrow, 2ml/lt of PH'd water. Water was brought down to 5.8 this time around. Leaves have become darker so I believe all is well so far.

Hi CreX. I primarily only clone with tops due to the mainline that I run. No special process and close to 100% rooting success rate. I cut the tops and keep them in water for a couple of minutes till I am done with the one plant. I then use Dynaroot rooting powder and dip the stem in it. (My rooting powder is also probably 6 to 7 years old) Then over to peat cubes. I do remove quite a lot of leaves and any nodes that are above the cut so as to allow for a smaller leaf foot print. If the stem is relatively big the rooting might just take a little bit longer. The Twisted Helix cut that I gave @PsyCLown was a top cutting.

Nothing to report for this week. Ladies entering their 2nd week of veg and they looking alright. GG & Zkittlez in organic Gave them some microbes aswel Here That's it for this week

Not doing anything special right now, warmest tent is the box. 25.5C temp just have it on termo insulation. Water at the bottom, but the plants not standing in it

So I've gone and joined a gi jiu jitsu gym to alternate between the no-gi gym I've been going to since April. Yes, two whole gyms at the same time I am now doing jiu jitsu 5 days a week starting this week. Wish my body luck, friends

Only grown in soil and can’t say I’ve really seen a hollow stem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is amazing ,stem that size in a pot so small. Nice growing. Probably just a outsider marsupial doing some stem art on something so interesting. Yip a porcupine might have knocked it over ( top heavy ) while a field mouse would not be able to.

Hey Evan, Hows the training going?

Oh wow thanx man. And I thought I knew about most of our local suppliers. Another nice one on the list now. Thank you very much.

Thanks man! I will definitely be starting a diary soon that will be updated more ofren I agree buying together helps a lot, we got lucky with a 40% discount on these so we had to jump on it.

Fuck me bro.. I can see you and @Dr. Green read the same grow bible Epic scrog work my man. You can be very proud of that grow

and thats just one plant - i got a good couple that needs that kinda cleaning

Know this is an old thread, but my 2c on bud buddies. I tried them a couple weeks back. Haven't popped any beans yet. But received all genetics in sealed breeders packs. They did make a mistake on my order, the Dinachem was meant to come with 1 free bean and which wasn't included. Contacted them via their site + email, and they replied, apologized and couriered me a 3 pack of Kera Seeds. So pre-popping, no complaints and happy with their customer service.

The girls to me feel like they standing still.. Getting frosty though.. Just enjoying the grow so far.. At least keeping the WPM at bay for the moment..

Sorry @CreX no help from this side

I don't do anything special with my clones. I do make my cuts just below a node under water. It probably doesn't make a difference but it's just something I do, make my cuts submerged in water and then into rooting powder(that's like 10 years old), and into the plugs. Vents all the way open on the dome from the beginning. I average roots from 10-14 days

@The Grass Baas The Sprayer for R85 works nicely, but the lack of a wand can make a big difference. Although this is 10 times better than those trigger bottles. The issue with this is when you want to try get the bottom of your plants and try turn the bottle sideways and it sucks up the air and reduces the pressure or when you try get under the leaves etc. The one for R269 is what I am referring to with the wand, excellent sprayers and well worth the money! The one I use is a Garden Master I think, but I am sure they are all pretty much the same. One can even lock the spray trigger into place and just move the wand around. WIth the wand the tank can be upright and you can turn the wand in whatever direction to ensure you get a nice spray alllllll over your ladies... if you know what I mean

Spinosad, Sulphur that's my foliar sprays.

Eish, you know how your hand cramps are using one of these bottles and the spray isn't as fine as a pressure sprayer. Not to mention when I drench my plants I can go through 2L to 4L of foliar solution - so having to refill the whole time can be a mission. It is difficult to spray and get under the leaves with a trigger spray - I understand that a paint sprayer can be overkill for some, although they do work really well I have heard, but at least fork out the money on a larger pressure sprayer with a wand if you plan on doing a few foliar sprays. The fine mist helps with coverage, the wand helps get under the plants and leaves easier and reach some otherwise difficult to reach places and the pressure makes life much easier on your hands and forearm muscles... Not to mention those trigger bottles always break and clog very quickly and easily.

Week 16 - Day108 (023/08/2021) HORTIMIX-DWC Got back a little later than expected This is the current state of my lady Since i've been gone - I've had my girlfriend do a Once a week res change. Once a week Efekto spray. Once a week H202 spray. Theres some burn on the leaves from H2O2 and theres also some mildew on the inner leaves Ive installed an extractor fan in this tent now, to help with air exchanges, and help with the mildew issues Today she's getting a reservoir change, a defoliation, and a H2O2 spray. I want to switch to flower by the end of this week

Lemon OG Haze 23 August I want to take each main as clone, so can't mainline yet, need to wait a little longer ^^
