Ok update time
First most of my clones r gone finally just a few left for my outdoor grow.
The kushberry r getting huge .

On to the table
Everything's finally come around. Ph is stable an feed schedule seems on key. Getting massive growth ATM tomorrow lights get moved up a bit. Really need a 600 or 1000w hps over the table though. Another few weeks should be in the budget

Now on to baby girl .as always she's doing amazing, buds r swelling up nice an fat, very dense for a sativa an still has 3-4 weeks before harvest time.

I've backed off my base nutes a bit an bumped up the koolbloom, next week I'll be doubling the koolbloom for the last few weeks before flush. She don't stink as much as I was warned about but still smells beautiful. Can't wait .

Hey Wiley
Nice setup. Got a question for you. I am starting a scrog myself and was wondering when you started topping? Also how many times? If more than once, where do you cut in the plant after the first top?

 

[wiley420]

Ty and I only top once with sativas an that's after I have 4 nodes. That gives me 8 branches that I then spread out equally. I find they stretch faster An this works for me.

 

[Thyming]

Oh ok
That makes things a little easier. Thanks a lot. One more quick question, at harvest time do you just pull the plants still attached to the screen and hang it all upside down or do you cut everything away from the screen?

 

[wiley420]

I cut the branches from the main stalk an work them out of the screen, then I trim the leaves off an hang upside down in a cool dark place to dry. I like a slow dry/cure is why I leave the buds on the branches.

 

[Thyming]

Great thanks alot

Ok quick update, baby girl's leaves r starting to die. Not bad yet but enough she's showing the end of her life other then that she looks amazing

2-3 weeks left, tric's r about 1/2 clear 1/2 cloudy with just a few amber ones. Getting excited .
Flood table is doing amazing as well

A few budlets starting to take shape .

Baby girl is looking awesome!

 

[wiley420]

Ty penny, hopes she's as good as she looks lol

 

[wiley420]

Ok got a drip system set up for the tent an I wana say .... damn took some imagination to get everything connected lol. Hydro shop had nothing ...well... had 3/4 inch shut off valves but no 3/4 inch hose etc... any ways got it running now to just get er dialed in for feed times. Thinking 1-15min feed till I get another digital timer. This soaks it just to the point it wants to run off but not quite.

Also I switched to coco tek a+b by gh. Not so dark AN cheaper as it removes the need for calmag. Hope it works well.

 

[Pennywise]

Yep lets see how she works out.

 

[wiley420]

Hey penny should I make another ring for the base of the plant u think ?

 

[Pennywise]

Increase watering time maybe, i didnt use a ring or sprinkler. Just let water run from the end of the tube.

 

[wiley420]

Well that's a lot simpler then me making tiny holes in that ring lol. Oh well it's made now. An yeah I'll try increase water time. Just gotta tread carefully she's almost ready to come down

 

[Pennywise]

That stalk is huge!! Lol

 

[wiley420]

That stalk is huge!! Lol

Lol I know right, buddy of mine been growing indoors for years an he said he's never had a stalk that thick . Iam one proud poppa

 

[Pennywise]

Thats the first thing i noticed.

 

[wiley420]

I don't know if it's something I did or just the genetics but I hope I can get the same results with the gsc once I get the clones

 

[wiley420]

Iam Gona carve something out of that stalk, just not sure what yet
