The Gear:

I'm throwing both LED's in the closet during bloom this run. So we'll be running the 90w UFO side by side the 50x3w LED. & For veg I recently got a 2 ft. T5 kit so the plants will grow under an 18/6 schedule in the closet with plenty head room.


On to the grow...


They are just starting out but I've 100% germination so it's set up to be an amazing grow.
Putting to much faith into the t5 lighting early in veg came back to bite me. I lost one of the Silver Haze girls due to the poor lighting, 26w CFL x2 later and everything seems ok.

All plants are getting a good grip. No visible pre flowers as they all close in on the age of maturity. I grew impatient, decided to take clones and force them to show me the sex of these plants.
They are loving life & We hope the same for you & yours.

Group Shot:

+CSSH Twins:

I got my trellis in place

Purp (Bag Seed):

Platinum OG (Bag Seed):

Had to make a tent to fit the cloner so I threw together some pieces of wood and called it a tent. Here are the cuttings taken so far for sexing.

Platinum OG & Purp

My best wishes for your garden

 

[BlackPolo23]

Welcome back!

Shocked today when I checked the cloner, my big girl is going to bud!! Praise Ganja lol!

Also took a few cuttings for mother/sexing plants.

A few shots of the closet.

Potted 5 gal buckets full of organic mix FF and transplanted all my best plants; 5 Gal. Girls -Platinum OG, +Critical Super Silver Haze X2.


A few closet shots after transplanting the bigger girls.

Next plans:
-Get the cab clean
-Father the strains
-Pray for women



In the following week:

This root structure sure is awesome! I may have to start all seeds in rock-wool, it's how the roots grow in the cloner. More roots are always a plus!

The +CSSH plant is bushy enough to be trimmed up, I just don't know where to start. She's my favorite as far as the structure of the girls.

I put my Purp plant into bloom. Along with a purp clone & a platinum OG clone, the first clones I took for sexing. Do you toss these after you find out your plants gender? I chose to keep it to tune in to the plants bloom phase.

In the following week:


Might just need a larger cloner over here! Only 3 spots on the cloner with 4 clones trying to make the cut. What do you think?

X2 +CSSH, Platinum OG, Purp


Trimmed some shade away from the big Platinum OG. Still got plenty to go

Veggies:

Bloom:

The clones are still only getting 100% water. Should be a good showing of how heavy my nutes will need to be mixed.

Welcome back to Polo's Photo's

3-5 weeks till the 12/12!

Potted my random bag seed into a new square pot. These roots almost broke out the bottom and started diggin for dirt.

I had to make a little space for her inside my clones shack because ze's (he or she) to big for any current box I have set for bloom. The clones don't mind sharing much.

My afghani #2 was repotted too. Ze's in the bloom cab now as I pray for buds.

My best decision thus far, I took some of my smaller girls out the closet. These big girls require a tad bit more space than expected. As I was repotting DelaHaze I ran out of dirt... You can see the air in her new pot.

Into this week:

All caught up? I finally am. Here are some shots from the week


+Critical Super Silver Haze Twins:

Purp Clone:

Platinum OG Clone:

The clones still only receiving 100% water and nothing to note. While the defoliating for better yield test has shown results rather quick comparing the Purp to Platinum OG clone. Good enough results to further the testing onto Poppa Purp.

Poppa Purp was a slow stretcher, hoping it's all over because outgrowing my grow box wasn't in the plan. Now I've moved the clones and her (Poppa Purp) into a new setup to finish bloom. I did a heavy defol to further test if by defoliating I can increase bud production.


Topped off my DelaHaze's new 3gal pot, she may also come out of the closet before bloom. Here's a few shots of a crowded closet.

Best wishes guys!

Welcome back

With bloom rapidly approaching there's no time like the present. Gave the girls in the closet a HARD DEFO. Hope they've got enough recovery time.

Took some close up shots of my fav tops off the biggest girls.

Platinum OG:

Closet Shot! You can see the girls look a little bare.

Over to the new space...


Poppa Purp still stretching. I'm going to be doing a lot of moving around once my clones have all rooted so the space should hold them for now.

Inside the clone shack you see my mystery seed with the baby mommas. Just waiting for more roots to develop. I should be able to remove the cloner in no time. It's such a consumer of space (pain in the neck).

My clones look HAPPY!! A few days from going into the dirt.

Happy Bumday/Bud day!

 

[BlackPolo23]

I realized today, every 10 days of vegetative growth can account for 1 gallon of roots mass in a soil grow. At 70 days my 5 gal girls are root bound. And I've only got enough dirt to transplant one. Big girl tonight.

 

[BlackPolo23]

Welcome back

At this point theirs no chance of my Green Crack seeds getting back to me. Damn you customs!


I got my new bloom box operating. And boy is it packed in there, like a mini amazon or Jamaica lmao. I re-adjusted my lights to be within 3-5" for best production and coverage. All CFL in here!

Shmoney Shots $$$

I read you should flush on the Friday before you decide to go into a 12/12 light schedule. Flushing 3x the amount of your growing medium was recommended. I have 5 gal girls, does any one do a 15 gal flush??? Sounds crazy to me. The big girls are all pre flowering and ready for bloom.

Your grow looks great. Thanks for inviting me.

 

[BlackPolo23]

Supergroomer I'm excited to have your experience with +CSSH. I'm trying to get 250w today so I can really put a show on.

 

[Dave Groomer]

Mine have done very well under my Mars 900. My first one gave me almost 4 oz of some of the best medicine I have grown. I have a small one almost ready to harvest (she only had 6 weeks veg from after I moved her off the cloner into dirt and only in a 2 gallon pot. I have a second one in flowering (2 1/2 weeks in) She had a longer veg and is in a 3 gallon pot. And my last one is still in vegging and will probably be there for a few more weeks until space opens in the flower tent.

 

[BlackPolo23]

I hope I can have a haul that grand. My flux CSSH is in a 5 gallon pot. The other was transplanted into a cloth sack (roughly 7 gallons) to test the hub bub of allowing roots to breath easily. Both have veg'd for 75 days and will be put under 12/12 next week.
