Eish! sorry, man. hope shit resolves soon. best of luck

that's not a bad yield off autos in a cheap diy indoor grow. respect!

Entry1: Russel Hobbs and The Humbolt Legends...Live!

Had to feed and do my weekly grow room maintenance, so got some pictures of the OG Kush and Chedawg. hint of a small issue with one of the blue cheese, but it might just be the effect of topping off with water too early. Will resolve I suspect when I make new Rez. Back row, from right to left...OG Kush (clone of the plant on the extreme left) , Chemdawg, OG Kush, Chemdawg, OG Kush (2 plants are much earlier in their flowering cycle). Front row, blue cheese.. Below is a shot of the chemdawg colas from a few days ago

The stretch wasn't insignificant but I was actually hoping they would stretch a little more. It was, however, uniform across both plants. They are not tall (one is seriously bushy though). A bit more stretch than I expected into week 3... I

using pictures of your kids should be considered cheating (unless they are over 30).

I tried to get back to work this week, so had less time with the ladies. When I first started growing it was all so exciting and almost everyday of my grow I would find something that needed doing. And it didn't matter what else I had to do - the grow came first. There is nothing so fun as learning to grow weed, and with each experience trying to do a little better (a story I would like to tell). These days, I am a little different though. I am happy to just watch them grow, as long as there is dank at the end (growing spoils you)...And there is something beautiful about an untameable carpet of weed. Speaking if which, here are the latest pics of blue cheese. this is day 18 (I think) since I flipped. Shit is getting interesting. First, both are girls and no sign of hemies (something I was worried about). They are clearly of the same phenotype, but one of the two plants is already more impressive (which is to be expected). but here is still a long way to go. I ran the nute solution a bit hot: 1300 ppm (although I need to calibrate the meter again). PPM in the autopot is 1330 so ill start topping off with water tomorrow. Although I haven't run into major problems I still haven't gotten the management of EC/PPM in an autopot down. I've built all my own hydro systems so I was bit of snob about autopots - but they are really easy, labour lite, and just work. Next time I use them, however, I want to drop an air curtain at the base to see if it does anything. The Chewdawg are putting on a bit of bulk now. The OG Kush less so. Will post pictures of them soon. On another note. Any suggestions for a a good pre-flowering pesticide for my outdoor game?

nice set up. subed

I have no experience with outdoors, but one of the nice things about this attempts is that the plants are taking care of themselves. After adding nutrients and letting to cook for a bit, the sorbet has basically been on autopilot. I haven't even. had to water because it been raining so much. ill probably give biobizz bloom and explore grow come flower - because I won't be able to help myself, but the way things are going the sorbet might yield more than what's coming from my indoor game. Wont that be nice!

haha...wishing you heavy buds in the new year...and strong supports to keep them standing

@Mambawana I think I posted them on my glog, but here they are again. As you can see, I probably need to do a bit of weeding and gardening after the crazy rain. the big plant is sorbet from the plug seedbank and the small one is something called currylatto (same breeder). got the seeds as freebies in some or other attitude seed bank order. The small plant got scratched out of the ground by the cat just after planting. I stuck it back in but its was fucked and I thought it was dead. after days and days of rain, it pulled a Lazarus. The big girl is doing well but getting chowed by insects and battered by the weather. I need to give it a bit of attention

Thanks bru. its a 1.5 x 1.5 tent. the screen only covers half the tent (more or less). Using just 1 light focused on the scrog area. Curious to see how it treats my girls in flower before I decide what I want to say about it. Have any experience with fluence? So far I am impressed (but I am still a HID holdout).

haha. then I have a decoy plant.

decoy plants?

yeah...some problems are good problems

Haha. I just realised you have the same problem I do...just on a very different scale. I mean are you using synthetic nutrients or organic?

organic? Beautiful dude!

Haha. I love it, it will also allow us to to see how homogenous and stable the strain is.

More on the need for super cropping and the power of fluence... At the moment the canopy of the scrog is not even. One of the reasons for this is probably the light. I really didn't anticipate so much secondary and tertiary growth, so much so that now I am worried that there is too much going on in many of the individual holes - with there literally being 4-5 bud points in some case. A more sensible grower might have cleared much of this. However, I decided that what makes it to the screen by the second week of flower can stay - but now shit has gotten a bit crazy and I might be setting myself up for other problem down the line (probably going to need all three of my fans blowing through the canopy to keep moisture from building up). at the same time, I am excited to see what comes of the buds at the lower end or how fucked up crowded the squares can become. One strategy to keep the canopy more even is to (supercrop) damage the stems of those bud sites that I want to slow down, while the lower growth catches up. But I am lazy and I don't mind popcorn (of course not all popcorn is equal). so, do folks think I am crazy not to clean off growth like this? There are shit loads of squares as crowded, some with taller colas already

yeah, was going to say, its too late now for super cropping for the chemdawg and og Kush. I am also on a deadline for this grow (and impatient0, and so trying not to do too much that will slow the plants down in flower. In truth I have other options as I have another 600w MH/HPS tent that I started flowering the plants not under the screen in,. However, I have a bit of chores to do before I can shift them back there. The problem is I am lazy, and I have a tendency to get stoned and procrastinate. Ill post about the venting problem I have with the other tent soon as its about my grow room set up and I wouldn't mind suggestions on how to fix it. ON super cropping - I super crop all the time. However its usually by accident

the problem is, because the non scrog plants were vegged too long and are pretty tall, the light is being kept to high imo - so i losing some of the light advantage of scroging. the canopy is not level at all - but I am trying.

My first grow was barney's blue cheese (and Royal Queen's white widow). One of the plants went hemie and another grew out looking more like a blue berry than a blue cheese. So certainly not homogenous. I have heard that although they have award winning genetics, they contract out to smaller outfits for their breeding - no idea if its true. I will say that the blue berry looking phenotype was probably the nicest tasting weed I ever smoked. I have wondered if I misdiagnosed the hemie (it was my first grow, so I didnt know shit - but some of the pros on weed.co.za confirmed that it was in fact a hemie). Thats part of the reason I thought I would try them again. but I also tried growing their pineapple chuck and got very average to shit results. that said, the two blue cheese plants I am growing this round seem to be the same phenotype and are chowing nutes at more or less the same rate. The proof will however be their performance now, in flower. Lets see

barney's. I know they are shit - but I am giving them one last chance

Decided to tidy up my shit a bit after checking out some of the other Glogs on the forum. I could certainly have been more ruthless in cleaning undergrowth, but I got the canopy on the scrog as even as its going to get - although there are just too many bud sites. I suspect the worst of the post-flip-strech is over, although there might still be need to do a small bit of tucking as the plant goes into week 3 of flower. Lets see. Started from here... Now we're here... And just because she is pretty, below is some chemdawg budporn

nice! I tend to keep my screen much closer to base of the plant, top and then train the fuck out of them so the stems run horizontally along the screen. but shit gets messy and it becomes hard to clean under the skirt. By the looks of it, you going to have some serious colas, and just colas. with different strains you might not get a a completely even canopy, but its going to be befok... scrogs make for the best bud porn!
