THE FIRE ESCAPE (OUTDOOR GROW)​

The Kerala X Skunk is officially taller than the window now.

KERALA X SKUNK #1 (Regular) Day 61




So the decision has been made. Sorry to say it everyone but she's an indoor plant as of today. I almost wanted to cry this morning as I looked out there. She's doing so great & I wanted an outdoor plant from start to finish, but safety is more important than my selfish wants. She's just getting too large & noticeable to stay out on the fire escape. I was going to put some artificial flowers around her in between the leafs, (still may pick some up on the way home) if not she'll stay in the Bloom Tent.

Pepé Le Pew (Skunk) Day 66




She's a slow grower so I'm leaving her out there.

KUMIKO (Clone Attempt) 8th Week




Starting to look a little withered. Still no roots

THE VEG TENT​

Also gave it a good needed bleach & soap wash down.

BUBBLE GUMMER (Feminized) Day 9




She was transplanted into a half a gallon milk carton. She'll be going under 12/12 in a couple of weeks. Going B.Real style.

THE STREET GIRLS (Unknown Strains) Day 9




The pic on the TV monitor is from their last update.

Out of the seven, five survived.

This is 1 of the 2 that started in the Rapid Rooter Cubes.

And here's the two that didn't make it.

STACK A DOLLAR (Cotton Candy, Double Re-veg) Day 9



I see new growth; My first 2X re-veg success...

QUEEN THAI (Wild Thailand, Re-Veg) Day 24




She's exploding.

FLUXY MOMMA (Power Flower, Flux style) Day 134

THE BLOOM TENT​

NURSE BETTY (Royal Medic) Day 72 / Day 34 under 12/12




She's getting a little yellow on some of her fan leafs so tonight I'll probably hit her with a dose of BROKE AZZ CAL/MAG.

SLEESTACK X SKUNK (Regular) Day 128 / Day 118 under 12/12




I hit her with first and full dose of GROWOLOGY 3 mixed with SNS 604B last night & she told me this morning she loves it.

KUMIKO IV (Honey Haze, the mutant, cris-cross style) Day 214 / Day 184 under 12/12




And she's getting close, seen a sprinkle of cloudy trichs.

I apologize for the quality of some of the pics. I was somewhat in a rush this morning.

I hope they weren't too bad.



Thada that, thada that, thadathat's all folks!

Top quality update man & I love how you're kickin' different styles

 

[Lester Freeman]

Nice update BAR! Love the Fire Escape plants

Nurse Betty looks amazing and I am impressed you have turned that mutant plant into something harvestable!

The Wild Thai revegetative growth looks incredibly uniform and healthy!

Good Job Brotha

 

[Crawdaddy]

Nurse Betty is looking good, but I would get rid of the bottom 1/3 of growth, it will be worthless and will allow more energy to be put into top buds.

I hate to break it to you, but if a clone not rooted in 8 weeks it is lost. I have given it to you before but here is my guide to simple cloning...

1. get some of the 1" rockwool cubes.
2. Soak in pH 5.5 water for a few hours-24 hours.
3. To cut clone:
a) pick nice healthy branch
b) cut off branch/branchs 3-4 nodes from top.
c) SLIGHTLY score the edges of the stem to scrap off outer layer of skin(this VERY important IMO)
d) cut steam CLEANLY below branchs that where cut off
e) QUICKLY put in water or cloning gel/solution
f) Swirl around a bit in cloning gel/solution(I use Clonex Gel)
4. Insert clone into hole of rockwool cube, get some actually sticking in rockwool.
5. Spray with RO water, or water that left out to evaporate Chlorine if no RO.
6. Cover with humidity dome.
7. spray down couple times a day
8. after week can remove dome, any clones that are still 'perky' will root within next week, so 1-2 weeks total.

Ever since I was very methodical with this method been like 29/30, one failed cause i did not stick in rockwool far enough.

ok back to work, need to get some coding done

 

[Crawdaddy]

here made picture for you...

 

[B A R]

Thanxx Cdaddy. I've blogged your post to my notes for future reference when I try to jump back on that stallion of a clone rodeo horse in my bedroom.
On another note I don't remove any growth from plants anymore unless I'm training them in one way or another. From my personal experience I've seen better results without removing growth and letting the plant decide when it doesn't need fan leafs, baby leafs, etc.. My view on this will probably change I as become a more evolved grower but for now I'll stick with what I've seen with my own two eyes.



Lester, I can't wait to get home! I want to go stare at KERALA X SKUNK so bad. I want to put her back outside but she's making me nervous; It takes a lot to do that.

QUICK UPDATE​

FLUXY MOMMA (Power Flower, Flux style) Day 132




The growth I left on the slow side during the last trip to the Beauty Parlor helped out. The ends of those arms look much healthier now. So it's back to the Beauty Parlor.



Before

After

I left a couple of the center new growths to form some arms for the center fill ins. They're not from the main arms but I believe they'll be sufficient.

STREET GIRL #6




I planted her today in:

SCIENTIFIC SOILS
GROWOLOGY 1
VERMICULITE
MYKOS


Fifi's going to love this pot...

You've been here in spirit Old Man. I've carried truck loads of good vibes from your journal to here since the first post. Don't even sweat it, I know you can only handle so many journals at once. The important thing is our comraudery.

Your gonna give the girl diabetes.......

 

[B A R]

Didn't I tell you guys?

 

[GardenFaerie]

Tell you guys what?

Oh yes, that! I saw those little ones all spry in their little ghetto pots! So adorably cute. I'm glad you decided to bring the fire escape plants into the apt. My father grew pot on the roof a few times in Bklyn! The days when nobody went up there. Now, you can't do anything on the roof or they clean it off immediately. I wonder what would happen if you planted one of those seedlings in a bed on the High Line! hahaha. I would freak if I ever saw a big ole cannabis plant on the HL!

[Tugafox]

That was one of the 7 girls I rescued/found under my favorite tree on the block last week. That makes 2 years in row B. How awesome is that?

Wow !!

 

[trichomes]

streetgirls be careful when you flux streetgirls.

We may be referring to you as Spimp, without the S.

how's Pepé Le Pew? no wonder she stays out on the fire escape.

 

[B A R]

Oh yeah Trix. Now that one of the outdoor Skunks is in the Bloom Tent it's apparent they stink! As soon as I opened my bedroom door this evening the Skunk Funk hit me dead in the face. I'll definitely be picking up some artificial flowers tomorrow, she's going back outside.




Can anyone identify this? Spotted it on one of the STREET GIRLS.

 

[Grayhawk]

Up Dated on my little issue.

health again everyone . thank you for your help and support. again.

your trusty,want be grower.

 

[B A R]

Our second "CANNABIS MYSTERY OF THE WEEK" success.

Thannx for the update Hawk.

 

[Lester Freeman]

BAR, I think it's one of those New York City cockroaches that hitched a ride in on the Street Girls. Like the movie Joe's Apartment (lol)

 

[trichomes]

Lester, that's 2 in a row

I'd let him stay there, doesn't look like a 420 pest, he could be a pest predator

 

[jaamzhow]

Wow Reg, that Kerala is sexy; you couldn't get more attention if you had Kate Upton in a bikini sunning herself out there on the fire escape.

On another note: anyone ever use or hear of use of BudVac Storage Containers? They come with a pump to vac seal the bud in the jar. I've seen these type things for use with regular mason jars also: anybody?
