Looking nice.

Hey Grebs,
Thank you! Just got caught up with your White Widow Halloween grow. Looking very nice!
Feel free to drop in anytime

I'll be back in a bit with some new pics. Got the 4 branches LST'd to let the 8 tops spread out a bit .

Looking great KBG.

Do you know at which nodes you did your second and third toppings? I can't seem to find any specific instructions about that. It looks like your second top was just above the 1st node and your third top was just above the second node?

 

[Grebs]

You got them looking beautiful.

 

[KGB420TIME]

Thank you both .

Mitt,
For my second cut, all except for one white widow were topped at just afte the first node. I believe the second node is preferable, but the nodes past the first already seemed a bit to uneven to get true equal branching. The third cut, they were all topped at the second node. Except... the one odd white widow, who got topped at the first node even though the second nodes were fairly even. I topped at the first nodes so the branches would spread the way I want them to.
Here she is...

You can see that she's growing quite a bit different than the others

The end result will be pretty much the same though. I'll get some pics of the rest of the girls up shortly.

I love the structure that you created with these lovely plants. Definitely want to see the end to this!

Hi PTSD,
Thank you very much! Glad to have you along..

 

[KGB420TIME]

Here are a few shots just after their second round of LST...

Those are from yesterday afternoon. These are from today...

You can see the 8 tops on each have all turned up and are growing for the light . White Widow 1 seems to be a notch above the rest. Her balanced structure and rate of growth are exceptional. She's likely to be a keeper if her potency is anything to talk about . Here she is in the foreground...

and again, up front...

Nice even growth ..

Well, that'll be about it for now I guess. Time to let them stretch a bit before flipping. Hope you are all doing and growing nicely! Thanks for checking in..

 

[Mittin]

Hey buddy! Thanks for the explanation. Your plants and the training are looking fantastic!

No problem . and thank you .

Greetings once again

The girls are all doing nicely Just letting them grow up a bit. I built scrog nets and installed them into my flowering tents...

They will not be used for an actual scrog grow this time around, just to help spread out the tops. If you look closely you'll see that the corners have 4way connectors...

...so that I can easily add a second tier to support the colas in late flower. Here are a couple shots of the mini-scrog I'm running in my 2'x2'x3' tent, to give you an idea of what it'll look like with the second tier on...

She's a Darkstar Kush clone I needed something to do with. Also for scrogging practice . A shot of her undercarriage...

I will be scrogging in my 4'x4's in the future. Possibly an outdoor scrog as well this coming season.

Of the clones that I took, all six that were in the rapid rooter style plugs were well rooted a few days ago...

The Black Destroyer is just a bit more vigorous than the others.(below)

All six were transplanted into 1/2 gal fabric pots with FFOF...

Then moved into my veg tent...

Which also houses my two bushy mamas.
On the left you have the delectable .Sunset Sherbet. On the right is the ever elusive .GSC Forum Cut.

Mmmmm, tasty. I've been thinking of stuffing them both under a scrog net and letting them go for it!
The remaining clones that were in the coir pellets have yet to show any sign of rooting. If they fail, I will take some more clones from each plant when I clear out some of the lower growth a week or so before I switch them to flower. Probably switching to flower in about 3wks or so, maybe a bit less.

I'll update again soon. I apologize in advance for any long gaps in my updates. I have a wife and 4 children along with 5 large dogs, 3 cats and a Ball Python(my 14yr old daughters.). Life can get a little busy around here.

I hope you're all doing and growing wonderfully! Thanks for checking in! ..

 

[KGB420TIME]

I just purchased a Colloidal Silver generator . Which will arrive within the next two weeks. I was thinking of letting the Sherbet and Forum Cut get to know each other a little better .

Wondering if anyone happens to know why my "cover" picture has stopped changing, or who I should contact to find out? Many pictures have been posted since the one that it is stuck on, just doesn't want to change. Thank you in advance for any information on this.

 

[PTSDgrower]

I got some colloidal silver spray a few months ago, but haven't given it a shot yet...

 

[KGB420TIME]

I got some colloidal silver spray a few months ago, but haven't given it a shot yet...

I had bought an 8oz bottle of 30ppm about 6 months ago. I started a couple little clones flowering, sprayed with it twice a day for two weeks. Nothing special happened. Got standard female flowers. I think it may not have been quite the ppm they said it was. So, I'm gong to make my own and give it a shot. From what I've read 30ppm should be sufficient. I figure I'll make a batch of 40-50ppm, and hopefully that'll do it. If you or anyone else thinks I should go for more ppm or spraying more often, please let me know.

I'm also really excited about all the medical benefits of Colloidal Silver. From what I've read it's possibly one of the best broad spectrum antibiotics on the planet, and works without damaging any of the good bacteria or such that are helpful to your system. Some people refer to it as a second immune system. The cost to buy it in the quantity needed for that is ridiculously high, while the cost to make your own is remarkably low. Hoping to get myself a little healthier .

Your girls are looking pretty sweet! It feels good when the tent is full . I'm starting to feel a bit impatient, ready to flip to 12/12. I'll hold off a bit longer though .

Hope you're having a great day! .

 

[KGB420TIME]

Update time! Feels like it's been forever.Anyway, the girls have all grown up a bit. Past the top of my screen. I got down in there and cleaned out most of the lower growth.
White Widow tent...

Mixed tent...

Between all 6 I got about 2/3 of a 5gal bucket full of leaves and small branches...

I decided not to take more clones. The one of each that I have from before are doing very well and are sufficient for now.

As you probably saw, there is a new addition to the mixed tent. Per the request of a friend, there is a little Cannatonic clone joining the fun. It was a sad malnourished thing with spots of powdery mildew that I rescued from a dispensary. It was cleaned up and spent the last week in isolation. It's now feeling a bit better and has moved into the big girls tent.

In the WW tent I am straying slightly from the mainline path. WW1 still wants to out do everyone else and stretched well above the screen before the rest. Also, a number of her lower branches had already reached the top of the canopy. So, when I cleaned up her undergrowth I left many of the branches that were already well grown and tucked the 8 main tops under the screen. You can see in this shot that she is much fuller and spread out a bit more than the others. Still front and center...

Here is a shot looking down into the mixed tent. You can see the Cannatonic is still looking quite pale compared to the others, but I think she'll turn out ok .

I believe I will be switching to 12/12 in 2-3 days. Kind of just ready to get on with it, ya know
..

Beautiful set up you got going on. Everything looks so nice. You did a really nice job training them.

 

[425jesse]

Dang, I really am green with envy, might have to try this manifold thing an upcoming grow. I love how controlled it is, keep up the great work!!

Flipped!

Official flip day was 2-21-16. Here is a shot of them on flip day...

White Widow tent., Mixed tent.

I tagged a small branch on the bottom of each plant and carefully sprayed them with a 40-50ppm solution of colloidal silver. Hopefully I'll get a small smackerel of pollen from each.

Hoping you are all well!
Namaste .

A little peek at the clones I took. They were transplanted from the propagation tray into their 1/2 gal fabric pots on Feb 4th. I moved them out of the veg tent for a little while today and let them have a bit of real sun., so I could more easily get at the Forum Cut and the Sunset Sherbet for some cleanup work and watering.

They are well rooted and technically ready for transplanting...

Just not certain of what I want to do with them. Some may end up being trained for outdoor later this year. Don't have to decide quite yet. They can sit in those pots for a while without worry of getting root bound, so we'll wait and see.
I'll likely be starting up a perpetual journal here pretty soon as I really don't see an end to my grow. I'm also in the process of becoming a medical grower for a few different people who have asked if I will be their designated grower. So my grow will be growing, just a bit .

I will get some pics up of the manifold girls when they finish their first week of flowering.

Hoping you are all doing well!

Hey KGB

Just curious about your growing setup. You have a couple tents? A veg and a flower tent?
