Jon's Final Florida Journal For Real

[con]

@ViparSpectra

Hello fellow 420 growers! Welcome to my final journal in the state of Florida. When this is done I finally get to move back to PA, as our legal situation has been settled. Yay! I appreciate you stopping by, and I’ll do my best to show you something cool and different and hopefully educational. Let’s get it on and have some fun!

This grow is happening in three different locations.

The first is in the garage, and is the VS 2x4, featuring a pair of XS1500 Pros. This sponsored grow will star two autos in 7-gallon airpots, with a scrog screen, in coco, using @RemoNutrients. The girls in question are the Blackberry Moonrocks from Blimburn and the Double Grape from Mephisto.

The second is the 5x5, also in the garage, featuring my big boy light and a very special photoperiod clone. This plant came to me from Oregon and is Lifesaver x Sour Bubble #7. She has been vegging in my closet in a 3-gallon pot. When she gets uppotted to her @GeoPot 7, she will go into the hula hoop rotating scrog rig. We will scrog her out and she will have the tent all to herself. She is growing organically in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil using @GeoFlora Nutrients and RGR.

The last spot is my bedroom closet, featuring the NextLight 420h and two more high THC autos. These girls will also be in 7-gallon airpots of coco using Remo nutes. These two girls are the Cherry Pie from Blimburn and the Strawberry Gorilla from 420FastBuds.

I’d like to thank all the sponsors involved in this grow in advance. I wouldn’t be using your products if I didn’t already know what stellar quality they are. Val, thank you for your patience in getting this journal started and the ViparSpectra sponsorship.

Here’s what the strains are all about.

Lifesaver x Sour Bubble#7 - The Clone

I can’t tell you much about this one. Yoda says it’s balanced, high THC, sweet/fruity, and very productive. The parents are both sweet and fruity with some sour on the SB side, so I would expect a sweet and sour sort of thing. He says it flowers in around 8 weeks. Sorry, no picture of this one.

So there you have it. 5 plants, 3 locations, a hula hoop scrog rig, some high THC autos, and a clone that’s very special to me. Then we’re outta here!

Thanks so much for being here, hopefully you’ll stick around and we’ll have a blast!

Here’s the 2x4 setup with the XS1500 Pros.

looks like a interesting line up, i'm in

Nick, you’re tagged for obvious reasons as this is Asha’s home we’re talking about. Azi, you’re tagged cuz this was your idea.

Filling in the gaps the right way. Note the avoidance of the screws on the lower level, which would have raised the one end too high. Details. Note also the angled cut to the diagonal. Heh. A game.

Spin spin sugar…

once in a great while aren’t I?

Like my ex wife “once” emptied my wallet of all the cash in it

I will refer you to the politicians for the answer to that one.

“Journals? I write the best journals, I mean really very good journals, everyone says so just really very very good journals. I mean that other guy he’s too old to write journals. And the people they love my journals, really just the greatest journals. I mean its a witch hunt, totally, these people are crazy saying I don’t write journals. I mean those people that say I don’t its LIES, a CONSPIRACY of LIES”

Like that Azi?

Hi @Jon

 

[Emilya Green]

The last spot is my bedroom closet, featuring the NextLight 420h and two more high THC autos.

Congrats Jon; I'm glad you got things settled finally. We now have the 3 locations isolated for the plants, but my question is: where is Mom? Is everyone safe? lol

I hear that. They tell you “Sir, your journals have changed my life. Sir.”

Ok fellahs, let’s let that be as close as we get to talking politics here, what do you say? It only causes me grief. Or I should say I only cause me grief. It’s why I’m off Facebook going on three years. I was hunting particular groups (M - - A) whether or not I knew the person and attempting to ‘educate’ them. I was getting death threats in my messages. Lmao! For real. So I made the best decision of my life.

Hi @Jon

Hi @Kanno26 - thanks for checking in my man!

 

[Jon]

Hi @Emilya Green! Thank you. And Mom…lol. Let’s just say Mom has slipped a bit in the last year, and she’s likely not going to bug me a whole lot anymore. Everyone is safe, they just can’t wait to get out. Heh. Once she’s out of here Mom will be way happier. She likes the smell of my weed when it’s on the vine, so that’s good at least. Lol! Hope all goes well for you and yours.

I picked up some of this AN Big Bud to try this grow. After the burn job I did on the Pink Rozay and Apple Fritter, I wanted a PK boost for flower that was kinder and gentler than the Canna PK 13/14. The Big Bud is 3-1-0. Plus it has C, Mg, Fe - and I know many have used it. It seems to be one that will pair up well with the Remo base system.

Anyone use this? Any thoughts to share?

I used all AN last year and I found it works great. They have a lot of additives in the AN group.

Did you use this BB?

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Are you finding the AstroFlower in the Remo schedule too strong?

 

[KeithLemon]

Did you use this BB?

Yes and Bud Candy.

 

[Jon]

Are you finding the AstroFlower in the Remo schedule too strong?

Hmm. Thanks @Melville Hobbes. Not sure yet. I’ve heard some get “crispy-ness” from it on the leaves. I messed up with the PK 13/14 and crisped the leaves already, so I can’t tell if this happened to me. It’s my first run using Remo on all the plants. I’m sold but need to gather more data.

 

[Jon]

Yes and Bud Candy.

And you use those with a base system, right? It’s a get the base of choice and choose from many additives kind of system, right? It looks like there’s a base system specifically for coco.

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Remo worked well for me, but you're right. There were some crispy leaves at the top near the end.

 

[Jon]

Well, crispy leaves don’t bother me if it’s just the leaves and not the buds. I really like Remo. Seems very dependable, across strains, much like Prescription Blend. Only a bit hotter, which I like. It also takes well to additives. On top of the Remo this grow, at various points, I added:
- FF Kelp Me Kelp You
- FF Wholly Mackerel
- Canna PK 13/14
- FF Cha-Ching
- PB Core B
- 40% MSA
And none of those bothered the plants at all in combination. If I hadn’t applied the second PK 13/14 dose I’d have all perfect plants.

Btw - @Melville Hobbes - thanks for the vote, but did you see that you have to revote in the NOTM? I’m out, I accidentally entered the wrong bud. So you got your vote back in case you didn’t see it.

No, the base is for soil also all their product is good in soil.
