Day 34...looking good

So...What has gone down the last two days!

Course of Action taken for Nute Lockout:

* Flushed res for 2 days with distilled water and Cal Mag, Watered for 30 minutes when I changed the res to water with Cal Mag.

* Watched the girls like a hawk, making sure canoeing effect disappeared, and discoloration was clearing up.

* sprayed distilled water and cal mag solution as a foliar spray for plants. 3 times per day over the 48 hours. (have continued to do so 2 times per day since)

Results:

*Plants became really bushy...which is the point of aggressive growth nutrients.

* 48 hours after flush and with plants showing signs of full recovery...I added full strength nutes again.

Notes:

- The mistake I made was not correcting the nutrient imbalance of calcium and magnesium deficiency before continuing with my aggressive veg nute schedule. If not corrected your plants will lock out quickly...and not absorb the nutrients needed to sustain growth.

- This imbalance caused the plants to show signs of nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and iron imbalances. This can throw off the beginning grower...Always revert back to the original symptoms the plant was showing. Flush your system for 48 hours and address the imbalances first shown. THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM...95% of the time.

This strain is very resilient, as I have killed less resistant strains with far less issues. I have attached some pictures for you all to see the result of my troubleshooting this problem. A big thank you to everyone who has provided feedback and advice...Especially LocNar, Italiano, and TinyToon...Thanks a million.

26 days to clone. The countdown begins.

Oh yeah...Raised my lights to get some vertical growth...not just bushy plants, I want these bitches taller!

Happy Growing

Day 36

SO the girls are averaging about 1 inches in height...I raised the everyday the last two days to get more height out of them.

They are back on aggressive growth and doing quite nicely. Huge difference in growth and vegging.

Changed res again...they sucked up tons of my water the last couple days. I am thinking about adding a fourth feeding every day. We shall see.

Leaves underneath the fans leaves were showing canoeing...Probably why my ph was so high before I changed my res...The little girls wanted more nutes. 4th feeding should do this! Fixed ph by flushing res, and adding nutes. At this rate these girls are gonna make me poor with how thirsty they are.

Here are some pics...let me know what you think...Oh yeah...seedlings are looking good too...Not leggy at all!


LOC...post some damn pics I wanna see your work.

My 800 dollar fuji camera took a crap on me but I barrowed one and maybe I can get some good pic's. The fuji took awsome pic of tric's close up. Have to play with the camera for close ups. I will post this evening as the lights don't come on till about 8 east coast time. I think I have a few when they first started too.

Just remember when you start drooling so am I. No meds here untill they finish. LOL

I had to try 2 times and then had to turn the lights out. The crappy camera does not have a flash. Oh well here they are. Maybe not too bad. I will get a better camera or get mine fixed.

LOC, I love it when the tips of your pretty girls start to yellow from them working so hard to grow nice and big buds...LOVE IT! Looks great man...Maybe after this crop you can afford a new camera, from donations of course!

Wish I was there to toke one of these up for you when they are done curing! They look very happy indeed!

I am stoked that my canopy is almost totally grown in on my tray...One plant has been keep that from being a reality. A little stretch and they are ready...I raised my lights again...trying to get some height out of them...They are dense enough for now.

Thanks man I got a couple weeks left. This is the hardest time. LOL. It was getting late last night and I am going to get my camera fixed for sure.. I just started some Gavity this week and only went half strenth but got my light too close. Be careful first time I used it and it will burn them up. I raised the light some more and will be changing nutes to finish. That gavity is strong stuff.

The first pic is the big 1000HPS. Everything is orange. The next one I had to turn the light off and use my flashlight. It's the biggest fattest one and it's real hard now, it's papaya. The last pic is my hybred HawiianxSkunkxBigbud. It is a late flowerer and comes on big in the last 2 weeks. It's also like a xmas tree coming up through everywhere. I hope the gavity didn't hurt my yield. The next time I will run it just the week before the flush week and only 1/4 strenth.

Wish we could sit down and do a big fatty, that would be cool. Most all my friends are dead or have jobs they can't smoke at, OR like some are the biggest muches alive. LOL

I think it will last me a month till the next crop. LOL and a few donations for nutes and stuff. I know of a cancer patient through a friend and she will be a little better off when she sees what I'm going to bring her. Maybe she can get some good eats soon.

Oh and the smell. I just can't describe it. Fruity yet a little skunky and strong.

Day 39...So here is the deal

SO...I want to smoke. And, I came up on a great guy for clones. SO...Flowering begins next week! WAHOO!

For those who might be sad...here is the plan:

*I am keeping the Citral Seedlings...that are doing quite well.
*These will be my mothers.
*I should not have put them in the tray to mother them.
*What a pleasant mistake for me.
*I did not have the time to transfer to pots. I will transfer into pots with the seedlings...And soon...they are already rooting through the bottom of the 4 inch rockwohl!

The trays:

*Putting into flower next week. This is where I shall unveil my flower room!
*Will be putting 30 clones into flower also...4 weeks later.
*2 tray will be only clones
*1 tray will be citral

My clones are sexy purple girls! The strains include:
-GrandDaddyPurple
-Purple Kush (oaksterdam variety)
-Grape Ape
-Purple Erkel!

(Do we see a pattern here...perpetual harvest!...WAHOO!)

Like my football coach once said...If you're gonna do something...Go big!

Yea it's the expensive stuff. I had it put up in a roll in a box and the humidity here is so bad and salt air that it ate almost half a roll. It's the best but hard to take a pic in. And when the light is on without a flash everything is orange. LOL. My bro just got a nice camera that does macro. I kind of burnt my stuff up with gravity this time and it's hard to get a 1000 far enough away. Only went half what it said but they are getting hard. I think you should do it the week before a week of flush instead of 3 weeks before harvest.

I just found pic's of what they took from me 3 years ago. Damn I can't believe it. I forgot how good they did look. If you want to see them just say I will put in another thread. I don't like to hijack too much.

put them in....It only make a thread that much better. It gives people ideas on how to do this themselves...spreading the word or ANTI-prohibition.

So I trimmed some of the upper foliage today. I am noticing that the upper fan leaves that are enormous are stunting the veg growth underneath. I trimmed them back a little bit...I had done this once before and it worked out quite well with the vegetation growth.

Flowering next week...so I think this is the best move until next week arrives. I will post pictures in a couple days...so you can see the improvement this brings.

OH YEA, it was 3 hit crippler. We were calling it crack on a stick. You would hit it till it laid you on the couch and then after a while you'd crawl over and hit some more. I mean happy trails. Best meds i had.

Oh and Pappa Smurf was a bogart, you had to keep and eye on him. But he did keep the nargles away. LOL

damn LOC...Damn the man for hammering down on you. What lead to the crackdown (if you don't mind me asking)? Was it avoidable, or by chance?

I am glad I am cali legal...still gotta watch the Blue shirts...Fucking nazis always want a piece of the pie.

I love the pictures LOC...keep them coming. Maybe we can get you on double secret probation?

PLANT PROGRESS:


Plants did really well after the trimming. Undergrowth is definitely applauding my move. Feeding now 4 times per day. Plants seem to be loving it and filling in nicely...Height growth has been excellent as well. I have added 3 inches in the last 2 weeks.

Not much else to report until I transition to flower. I am going to keep vegging until Friday to keep the weekly cycles accurate from the day I popped the seeds.

I will post pictures on Friday before I start flower. I want you guys to have a chance to see the difference in growth an extra week makes with this blend. I will say these are very short plants.

Well long story short. My nephew came by and smoked some ragweed with me and then came by with some mid grade later. Days apart. Then I smoke alittle test bud with him. Never thought family would get me. He was the only one on earth to see my grow up close. Well my nephew and friends were living at the beach for summer and getting the little 16 year old girls on the beach fucked up on coke and trying to date rape them. Got busted for coke and minors being involved. So he tried to buy from me and I said no. Not no how , not no way. Pissed him off cause the narc's were just up the street. So the next day they bust my grow. 4 pounds and all my equipment. One year suspended and 2 years probation. All done now.

Funny thing is I was not enough to get him off because I no sell to nephew narc. so he busted his coke buddy for over 12 buys and puts him away for over 10 years. Dudes brother is looking for my nepphew. Wonder why. Narc on the run and was told never to come back to my state or they will give him to the little girls fathers. LOL

It's taken a long time to get back to where he busted me just a different locale. Wish I was in Cali.

On the lighter side. It's going to be one hella XMAS this year for sure.

I'll post pic's of what they took from me. It will make you cry. Hell it will make your dog cry.

Tinytoon...Can't wait to see the grow log. Post the link when you get the chance.

Status Report on the Girls:

The plants are doing very well and have been adding some height to them. At least an inch since my last post. The trimming of the fan leaves is proving to be a smart move with the amount of Vegetation on these girls. It definitely made the undergrowth much stronger by providing them with light.

I also added extra CFL lights for side stream...to get more light under the canopy. I believe this has also helped their vigorous growth.

I will be posting pictures tomorrow. Then we put them in flower the following day.

Damn man, that is thick. Is that a Lumetech electronic ballast ? I want one someday. You are going to have some massive bud going on there, can't wait to see it finish. Keep up the good work.
