My Blue Dream First Grow

[medfromhome]

Yeah man, love it!. Remember when I had one like that. Good days!! good LSTing mate. What are you feeding the soil, they look happy

JBC Thanks we feel like we are in the good days LOL. Well with the budget like it is, we are using Miricle Grow Tomato food 18-18-21 at about every third watering. Moving to MG Bloom Booster 15-30-15 when we start flowering. We have close to 30 (possible?) bud sites on each plant. so next is to put together some support!

Ya I wasn't much of a crack head, till I started growing LOL. Never heard of 48 hr darkness before bloom, but we start our 12/12 at 8pm on sunday.
will also check out your journal.

Time for an update, I have been working a lot lately, mostly out of town, so sorry for the delays. We have had our 3 girls in a 12/12 bloom room for 7 days and TODAY I got to see our first white hairs!!
This is Gloria @ 7 days in bloom. BEFORE I trimmed her.

And this is her AFTER her trim

This is a closeup of one of her branches, she has some big nuckles!

I see this everywhere on this site, way too much defoil going on and at the wrong times. Your girls look good Medfromhome , dont take offence and will recover fine. But if you do it in early flower it will stunt the stretch which will sort out the bushing anyway.

If you attack a plant that much in one go it hurts it so much that it never really fully recovers and never has the speed of growth it used to. Defoil does help inside but everyone is just butchering their plants in my eyes. I did mine so slight only when needed and they growing so big and fast and all the plants I see with a Massive hit of defoil just are sort of weak after.

People please learn this technique before fully commiting as its not beneficial in such big hits.

Well I have found that people love it or people hate it. but this is what I have a week later.

 

[medfromhome]

to day is 21 days in the bloom box. I am very happy. i also added a few more bloom lights to the box today

 

[JokerJohn]

nice work med +reps buddy

 

[medfromhome]

Thanks jj, we cut our first clones ever a few weeks ago and only got one to grow, and that one has had a rough start. Our second try at clones gave us 2 out 0f 4, and all of them just started to go crazy. I have the next few days off and will get pics of the new girls posted soon.

Hey I got a question, I am an avid leaf trimmer, should i keep them for making hash??

 

[medfromhome]

Update time
The girls have been in 12/12 bloom for 28 days. I have been trimming some leaves, on all of them to help keep light glowing throughout.
This is Gloria from the top down

Gloria up against a 12" ruler

Gloria

We only did LST on her and cropped her at the 7th branch up. we then directed every branch to get as much exposure as possible.

Now we have Betty top down

and Betty up against a 12" ruler

Betty got LST and FIM'd at the same time, from then on we just kept her as low as we could, she actualy got broke during one of our training sessions, a little tape and better than new.

Next we have Anna

Anna against a ruler

and Anna top down

Anna was the only one that got ONLY LST. We pulled everything she gave us back down into the 6" pot.

If any of my trimmings have trichomes on them should I keep them for hash

Always keep em mate. When I defoliate even in veg ill take the leaf and run it through the juicer with some cucumber watermelon grapes cantaloupe spinach tomatoes Collard greens and some radish and turnip greens. Taste like heaven and gets you moving. Anything taken before 21 days flower is juiced, if its an unhealthy leaf its trashed. Anything after 21 days bloom ends up in my hash bag.

They look astounding for plants in general mate. Never would guess they were cfl plants.

Thanks Sensei, I never thought about juicing them... looking forward to our first harvest in 4 - 5 weeks. will probably pop a bud or two off for 4/20. excited to see what kind of yeild these girls give us!

 

[cannasensei]

What size pots and how many Watts?

 

[Lester Freeman]

Cool plants, they look frosty, good work.

I have them growing in 2.6q pots, in a 34" high dresser, with 11 23 w bulbs.

thanks man, we have been very happy with what they have done for us, considering what we have done to them!

 

[medfromhome]

So I have 3 new girls (clones) in veg and am going to let them tell us how to lst em. Will be transplanting them today. My question is, should I just keep this journal going with them, or start a new one for them??
