Veg's Drip Hydro BubbaKush/StrawberryCough Grow Journal - 2012

[Xearoveg]

Joining the bud room is going to be two soil plants called M&m we got from somewhere in California. They aren't supposed to be releasing clones for another two years I guess so there might not be any information on that strain.

I'm doing 10 of these outside and I want to see a sneak peak of how it grows before the outdoor gets done.

I'll get some pics soon. I'm moving them into darkness manually to trigger the budding cycle because the grow room is on 18/6 right now. So hopefully I remember to take them out 7 hours early every day.

 

[Xearoveg]

Here's an update! Things are going great and I have a grow room full of green again! I actually added 6 M&m to the grow room. I converted 4 to hydro already and gonna do the other two today or tomorrow. I've been bending and tying down all these girls pretty aggressively.

As I'm posting this, today is Day 21

Here is day 10!

This is the White Widow or Super Silver Haze, Don't know which it is quite yet.

I believe this is a shot of the Blackberry!

Center Table Day 18: Here you see the M&m added, 4 to the table in hydro so far, the other two in soil on the sides will be joining the rest in hydro soon.

Here is the Blackberry again. Exploded, super thick canopy. Which in the next 3 days till today it has exploded even more!

Center Table Day 21: Here I have bent down all the M&m in the back to match the canopy height of the smaller plants and lowered all the lights evenly over the plants. I don't think I could point out the blackberry because the canopy is starting to merge together from all the plants.

Hope to be getting back to you guys soon! I gotta show the outdoor soon too.

So much green across the canopy

The White Widow or Super Silver Haze (dont know which seed made it)

The Blackberry.. just wow, what an explosion since just a week ago.. It was hard to get the whole thing in the picture, the thing doesn't even look like one plant..

Still need to go out back and snap some pictures. Don't know why I don't just walk out now but I'll make sure to take some for the next update!

 

[Xearoveg]

Oh yeah that is day 26 by the way!

 

[Xearoveg]

Here is Day 30 and Day 1 of darkness period to trigger budding faster.


The last pics before they are thrown into bud! The next time you see them they should have a net over them.

 

[Xearoveg]

Quick update! Day 32! Lights just came back on from 36 hours of darkness. We'll say day 2 since switch. Starting them out in bud at 11 hours 30 minutes of light. This is kind of gonna be a quick grow if I can do anything about it. Want to get onto the next one where I can do all the same strain. Blackberry being that strain makes the wait even harder!

The Blackberry is about the size of 2 and a half to 3 plants of the same age... same conditions.

 

[Xearoveg]

Kinda wanted to see a side by side of the grow so far and what better way to do it then by sharing it with you guys at the same time! So here it is, 32 days of growth broke up into 8 sectioned time periods.

I wish you guys could see how many tops and how dense the canopy of these plants are. I should do a video I think.

For the third time this grow I have ran them with just water and FloraKleen for 2 hours as directed. Just did it again and then emptied/washed it out again and put in the transition amounts according to the general hydroponics grow chart.

Which for the 15 gallons of water in my 18 gallon reservoir comes out to:
FloraMicro 60 ML
FloraGrow 60 ML
FloraBloom 60 ML
Floralicious Plus 15 ML
FloraBlend 37.5 ML
Rhizotonic (substitute for RapidStart)30 ML

 

[KingJohnC]

please record us a video!

 

[Xearoveg]

I recorded one but it didn't save I'll get another one soon!

 

[Xearoveg]

Okay that first video did save actually, so now I have a total of 3 for you followers haha.

Day 33! Picture after bending the canopy down on the 8 younger plants.

Day 34! This one shows all the plants at first then I take the Blackberry out and show you it alone out in the open and the roots.

Be sure to click the little YouTube button in the lower right and switch the quality up to 720p if you want!

Day 35! Here in this video I show all the plants on the table, there are 4 bigger ones in the back that I transplanted from soil into hydro that I don't focus on much. They are doing amazing, called M&m, which is some strain I got from some growers I work with on our outdoor. They said it was from a nursery in California, but this strain wasn't supposed to be released yet. They are starting to turn purple!

This video shows the younger plants in the front mostly, right after I bent them down.

This second video was less than 24 hours later, showing how they have come back from the bends already! The M&m in the back don't need as much bending, their canopy is staying pretty even.

Nice M&M sounds interesting, it'll be fun to watch. Nice video's!!!

 

[Xearoveg]

Thanks Curso! Yeah the M&M are said to have a 7 week budding cycle, pretty quick!

 

[Xearoveg]

Also I just noticed how bad the quality loss was from uploading these to youtube... I'm gonna see if I can't opt for no compression or something to fix it.

The quality was good once I switch it to hd

The quality was good once I switch it to hd

Haha you're right! I just spent 45 minutes trying to figure out why it was so bad. But when I switched it the first time it just must not of worked because it still looked terrible. But I just tried it again and it matches up pretty close to the original.

Oh yeah and the quality button changer appears once the video starts so you don't have to click the youtube button :/ just ignore me on the video viewing tips I guess haha.

 

[Xearoveg]

Also I have a solid count on which plants are growing now. Before they were so young and I lost track of which clones were which.

But there are 12 total:

3 Bubba Kush
3 Strawberry Cough
1 Blackberry
4 M&M (transplanted from soil, that's why they look so big for day 35 or whatever day their on, they are older than that, they were originally grown by someone else inside for the outdoor season but we had extra outside and needed something to put into bud now indoors so it worked out to transplant them inside into the hydro grow)

The last one is the seedling I haven't been able to figure out if it was the Super Silver Haze or the White Widow seed that lived. I also have never grown it so I can't really tell by how it looks. But I've done a lot of comparing to pictures online and I'm fairly certain it's the Super Silver Haze! Which I'm really excited to smoke because I've heard great things about it.

 

[KingJohnC]

your canopy is nice and even. thank you for the videos.

 

[420 Girl]

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Thanks and hope all is well in your world.
Love and respect from all of us here at 420 Magazine.

 

[Xearoveg]

Thanks, I was bummed out about the outcome. But it turned out okay. I need a new grow room now though so this can be abandoned or closed.
