First Journal - 18th Grow - Growing 4 Strains From A 420 Magazine Sponsor

[GroundControl]

This weekend has been a busy one with the girls.
I mixed up a new 5 gallons of the nutes.
Now I have the CaliMagic and the Rapid Start included.
Set them with full amount of recommendation 1 tsp per gallon I believe, flora series nutes at 1/2 of GH's recommended strength.
PPM comes out around 370 to 390PPM.
I drained the front two plants and refilled them with the fresh solution.
I would only do the first too and wait a day before doing the second 2. That way if I were to kill them..I would still have two left.
Next Day those two had the nicest spurt of growth yet.
So Today I Drained and filled the back two with the nutes.
The Rapidstart and the CaliMagic made a big difference in one day.
One more day if the Nutes do not kill the 2 plants in back then I can finally say they are off to the races

Here's day 40 (33 for Crystal Queen)

Yesturday I also started preparing my Hydroton pebbles for use with the cuttings Im going to take.
I intend to take 2 from each plant. Need 1 from each to spray with Colloidal Silver.
The Electric Lemon G (top right) is a reg seed and may be a male anyway.
I would like to keep pollen from each plant and do some straight Pollination and do some cross pollenation also.

The Hydroton I rinsed off in the shower for about 15 minutes .
Then I filled it up with 5.8 PH adjusted water.
I let it sit over night and the PH raised up to like 6.8.
I drained it and refilled it with again.
Its now sitting again.

I looking for what I want to use for my hydrodome.
Then get them.
On the Sensi Star I snapped a branch that was still hanging.
I propped it back up with the next leaves over and today it doesn't even look wilted.
That will be the first one I take.

Thanks.



And NICE!
How do you dry and cure yours?

 

[Trapr]

Well I'm up to speed now.. Looking good

 

[wildjim]

I hang mine in the closet, normally 35-45% humidity until the stem cracks when I bend it. Then I remove each bud from stems and then it's into a Ball jar for a month. With considerable burping, or smelling in my case. Love that smell. Or until it's gone.

I cut 8 cuttings.
After playing with 3 or four different tupperware dishes etc I found one thats a nicer fit.
How ever when I pulled off the older lid It pull one plant out of the rockwool.
I put it back in and sprayed em all down again.

Good Luck with them!


Do you intend to use them for Feminized seeds?

That's my intent.

 

[SoilGirl]

No I do not have the knowledge to do that..just grow.. More I'm on here the more I find I don't know enough lol

IF you are interested in creating your own feminized seeds you can find the information in my KingJohnC's 400 Watt LA Confidential Seed Cabinet Soil Indoor Grow Journal.

Well I moved my light up about 3 or 4 more inches.
I am now absolutely as High as I can go with the LED Light.
Haven't noticed too much growth since then.
I'm probably going to look at the PH and PPM of the current solution and decide If I want to drain and refill nutes, or just top off with ph adjusted water.

My Big Cheese is not doing too much filling in or vertical growth at present. I decided I would FIM it but F##K I missed that so I think its more topped than FIM'd.
My Sensi Star I decided to FIM a few tops that were growing higher than the main Grow points. I will keep my Eye on them and see how they turn out. I'll get pics in a few days.
My Electric Lemon G is my largest plant and 3 or 4 growing points are no higher than the top of the plant. So I FIM"d them also ::
The Way I FIM'd, Is just using my fingernails and pinching a portion of the Growing shoot off the plant.
I took the little bit that I pinched off and grabbed a bunch of leaves off of them, and am now Drying them in my food dehydrator for a
fatty or 2 which is how Much of it that I need to smoke at this point to get a short lived buzz.

I have been rather busy for the last week or so.
Haven't had time to post pic's etc till now.

My Clones: Most doing ok.. one completely lost, a couple that seemed to burn up or something.

Both from the Big Cheese doesn't look hopefull.
Completely lost one from the crystal queen.

 

[GroundControl]

I'm probably going to remove the paper bag blocking the light and the hydro dome.
These are close to 2 weeks old.

See the right one's grow point all shriveled.
Does that one have a chance of continuing?

 

[GroundControl]

Anyone wanna guess as to whats doing with this clone?

 

[GroundControl]

Day 52: Snapped a bunch of the growing shoots so that they would be lower than main growpoints.

Day 53: Next Day they are fully recovered.
