yeah the greenfire link is exactly why i came here. meanwhile i found this link too. http://www.togernet.com/altrum/aggrand_organic_ferilizer.htm it looks less confusing to use than some products. I tried cool bloom and it left a chem taste to the product. So needless to say, i'll probly steer away from general hydro products.
hey meangreen this morning ,i finally realized something you probably know already. greenfire is in sacto, about 80 miles away from me. definetly drivable- but i figure i'll do a quarterly supply run up there. or maybe every 6 months get mega organic supplies- like a truckload. L.O.L. im looking into going with "pureblend" for an organic liquid fert. it has all the goodies plus humus and agrimineral 72 for trace. plus it is two part- gro and bloom, which works better for me with my busy schedule. Hey b1 harvest weights are in. 1/2 ounce per plant average five strains pretty much equal. a few plants were 2+ ounces one of these was stinky my newest development from which im seperating phenotypes and sexing from 47 f2 offspring. to do some selective breeding.maybe open pollenate selected males to all females, but within a grouping of phenotypes to match. each selected male will get a grouping of all females that match in shape and smell. all in the same room, so some cross pollenation would occur, but the ones in closest contact will be primarily pollenated by the male inside the group. curculation fans will be minimised for the week or two of breeding. And afterwards i'll have to remove all vent tubes and fans- scrub and clean all dust-run the shower head through the tubing- and a can of air to the fans outside. bleach and clean the room again, lately i been mopping once a week.even spraying neem on the wood floor to deter critters from smell.{and kill em on the floor} so 15 ounces from a 6x6 area was my total, but the whitefly infested thai's were ejected outside - there is two of those likely to produce an ounce each. Im looking to get a 1,000 watt radiant ballast soon- and a hortilux blue bulb for it. just a ballast and bulb for now. I'll unplug one of my 600 radiants and use that hood for a bit. This would be 1,000 watts of halide and 600 hps for the veg. period, and in a few more weeks i can grab another daystar to re-light the other 600hps for flowering. 2200 watts mixed for bloom stage. these babys are gonna rage.
hey tie: nor having enough ambition is not one of your faults, ain't it! Will be harvesting the SS next weekend and will compare yield with you. let me know how fresh/how dry it is when you weigh it. What's your opinion of the SS pics I posted on the previous page tie? LuMpY acts as if I've got a problem and sends his condolances whereas I feel that she's doing great (yes a little battle scarred from a few previous problems but fully recovered) and now has 4 colas, ranging from 10" to one foot, has 8 secondary tops from 4 to 6 inches and miriad little individual flowers lower down. And she's pumping out the crystals like crazy. What do you see? I did misstate myself when saying in a previous post that it took 2 weeks before flower began to show. That was wrong, 5 to 7 days is what it took. Thanks for that LuMpY. Let me hear back on this guys. thanks. b1
-Hey ! They look good for what they been threw Brudda. -You should keep playin with it tho. -I hope you got a cutting or some seeds left. -Your weed'l prolly be fine Bro, I aint tryinna get ya down but I hope you grow this weed again so you get a chance to enjoy its full genetic potential. -I aint tryin to be a smart ass or nothin but you cant expect a weed thats supose to finish in 6 weeks to finish in 8 and be as good as what the cataloge says about it. -Ya might really like it when its done. I just dont think you could stretch out its flower time like that without any detrimental effects. -I hope you grow this weed again, its a great weed!
-I like when the calyx open up a bit sometimes. -I got some more pics if ya wantem for referance . -I didnt wanna make ya feel like ya screwed the SS up or anything, it just seems like ya had a couple issues with it this time around . -I bet its still fukkin delicious!!!! -Just grow it again when ya get a chance and make shure ya got a good solid feeding scedule goin with it and make shure it finishes in 6 to 6.5 weeks !
Hey B1,they look fine from what I see in the pics,keep in mind you will never finish in the same time as Lumpy,Aero is faster! Tiedye,here is the premier organic supplier in the nation!Its in grass valley,not too far for ya,they have the best supply of nutrients and soil amendments anywhere,but dont cater to the indoor gardener. www.groworganic.com
hey b1 every grow i find room for improvement. lumpy is trying to help you improve more rapidly than you normally would. not insult you. dont trip potato chip. hey mean greenfire has thripscreen I been searching 3 months for something like that. Im stoked. also, dont take this wrong- but earthjuice seems a little too confusing for me. I like simple two part formulas. I think im going to do a similar study though. The age old bloom i used last summer produced tastier buds than the bigbloom.But i did not use any other age old products at the time. So im getting "age old" grow/kelp/ and bloom. Im also going to try some budswell dry mix, and the super tea mix that co-incides with it. This i can use to tea when i soak them every couple weeks, in conjunction with other ferts- or as standalone during a control study. Im also going to try the dutch canna nutrients because they are tailor made for cannabis {"canna"-pretty obvious ploy there} And because they are formulated for specific growing mediums ,and designed to leave no toxic buildup. {chemmy taste} bg hydro has canna . and ALSO: pureblend gro and bloom extract from bghydro:
Does this look like sugar or what! Justifies the name sugarshack, right? I appreciate all y'all's feedback and feel encouraged by it all. MG: do you feel that the dry ingredients making up a proper organic mix can be found for sale and mixed successfully on the farm? Would save a ton not having to pay for the water component of the liquid/alraedy mixed kind. LuMpY: great pics. would you be able to get a good real closeup of one of thos buds? Tie: how long did you dry your recent harvest that yielded 1 oz/plant on avg. before weighing it. Or was that fresh of the stalk (can't believe that's what you did though)b1
B1, order a catalogue from these people,they carry just about every thing organic,I recall seeing dry ferts! www.groworganic.com
Thanks MG, will follow up on that. Posting a few more pics: clearly showing the triches and they seem mostly clear. The hairy threads, pistils I think they are called, are beginning to show a reddish brown tip and some are changing in color all over as seen in the first pic I think. Seems like a good way to monitor the crawling to the point of harvest.b1
DDDDAMMN B1!!!! !!!! -Fukkin INCREDIBLE pics!!!! --Theres no way I can get THAT close!! -You SHURLEY bought out the trichs! -Im glad someone elce is enjoyin this weed besides me now! VERY nice weed Brudda... -Very nice weed! -I didnt meen to seem negative in my previous posts. -Your weed looks GREAT!! --Tryin stick with the SS. -If you got more seeds, see if you can isolate a fem to take cuttings from. -I think THATS how ya grow a GREAT weed, by clonin and flowerin the same thing time after time, -you tend to get real good at it! -Its pretty cool, -you become a "Specialest"at your own weed and tekneek! -The constant repitition and familiarity allow you to produce some WIKKIDASS smoke! --Well annyhow..... -See how you enjoy them genetics, Im shure youl likem! --Then when ya likem, -stikwittem! -Its just like anything ya stick with, -it gets better an better!! -Im constantly workin on ways to get more bud outta my room ! Peace Brudda!! -and Enjoy! !
Hey Howdy!! -Yea.... -I been workin with this weed constantly for almost 2 years now. -I been perfectin the mixture of nutes/temps/timing required to make THESE flowers flower! -Specificly. -Man... -I hope this aint readin threw cocky or nothin. Heh Heh.. -These flowers do the same thing for me time and time again. -Im tryinna point out that when you pick a weed ya really like and concentrate your growing efforts on it exclusivly for a real long time you get to knowin just what it likes! >TIMETIMETIMETIME< Thats what it takes my Brudda. -Time and concentration is what it takes. --It aint too fukkt up on the membrain tho, -I do it everyday and I smoke from mornin to when I go to sleep! -Everybody grows differant and I do a fukkin wild and crazy fukkin ass method that makes me develope a mental deciplen that I fallow for my plants .. Heh Heh.. -Its really GOOFEY! -Keeps me happy! --Its past 8:00 so Im gonna open my door. -Im gonna get some pics of my 4 day olds*(In flower 4 days*), my 18 day olds* and my 32 day olds*. -I do it way differant .
--Heres some fresh pics ! -Like I said, 4 day olds*, 18 day olds* and 32 day olds*. -Thats how long they been in the flower room. I vegem now for 6 weeks instead of 4. -Thats just another example of how Im always lookin for ways to GET MORE BUDD!!! -Heh Heh.. -I added a step in my veg aria. -Its another 2 weeks but you dont feel it at all, all it is, is a piece of space if ya know what I meen ! -Il get some pics of my veg aria if ya like but heres some of my flower room !
I love the density of the leaf structure lumpy, that's what seems to produce/support those fat colas. Ekul>nice photo editing>graphics outlay. Seen your pics before, do you do this as a hobby? what equipment do you use.b1
-I cant wait till ya taste it! --DDDDDAMN!!!! -Your gonna LOVE this shitt!! -Not that theirs lots of it or nothin but I like cuttin the li'l bud leafs off my buds and makin hash offem! -I keep all frosty trim from harvest and I pull all the bud leaf off of what I smoke and by the time my buds are dry so is my trim, -I mix it with my bud leaf and make hash. -Everything happens on a 2 week scedule ! -FUKKIN SWEET!!!!
yeah b1 but it was 1/2 ounce dry weight, average per plant. i gave them hardly any veg time however. due to spidermites and wanting the battle to end. But im going to veg under a 1,000 watt halide this cycle. I have 300 saved already. and it looks like I'll be getting a new hydrofarm 1,000 watt daystar with radiant ballast this coming saturday. im gonna See if letting them get three foot tall under the halide ; without mites, before hitting 12/12, will improve those yields any. The current strain is my heaviest branching creation as well, so I may quadruple those weights here soon.
thanks b1, glad you like the pics yeah taking photos has turned into a bit of a hobby, hoping to get a better camera soon, the one i got is a cheap basic one but does alright for now the pic in my sig i did in photoshop, was working on ideas for a clothing site and got side tracked
