flower power

[invision]

5 clones

already been vegging a week and transplanted into final pots tonight, i picked up some organic fish fertilizer 2-4-1 i will be using for flower, it is made by Neptune from a local garden shop.

3 pots are 10" and very deep lots of room to grow in them, 2 pots are in the pot in pot style and those are 8".

3 clones came out great while 2 of them are a bit behind with one in general still doing nothing so she will have to catch up during flower.

these will be flowered in about a week.

another

Nice plants, hope your grow goes well :thumbsup:

[reality0]

good luck with your grow! ill be watching :jointsmile:

[invision]

hey thanks guys i need the luck.

i checked them this morning and they didnt get any transplant shock which is great, i transplant almost in the dark so the roots dont get any light near them its a pain but i havent shocked a single plant yet doing this.

look like ill be throwing them into flower tonight or tommorow :)

[invision]

its been 2 days since transplant and they started growing like mad again, gave them a 1/4 of the fish fertlizer with some calmag and they love it, one plant is towering the rest so i may have to LST some of the branches down so when i induce flower tonight she dont hog up all the light.

so far so good on this one i am aiming for 4oz on this grow dry hope i can manage :)

[invision]

day 1 flower

they seemed to like the nutes and are growing very rapidly now, hopefully they dont over grow the space during flower like the last grow, hopefully i flowered in time so they stay some what short.

the small clone finally started to grow new sets of leaves and nodes so hopefully i can get atleast something worthy from her :jointsmile:

[invision]

day 3 flower

fish fertilizer rocks plain and simple, growth and plant vigor is exploding :thumbsup:

[stone_sensation]

Awesome grow, looking forward to more pics :)

[r00tdoctor]

Nice clones bro, Im like you in that I wont kill a plant if its a female ever lol (im talking about that small clone), I dont care if its on its last leg I will nuture it back to health. I will stop by to see your grow.

[invision]

rootdoctor- i would never be able to kill a female plant, its like killing off your girlfriend it just wont happen, im glad i waited she is coming along now :thumbsup:

as for the grow we are just shy of 1 week into flower and they have exploded from there, these nutes have to be the best damn thing i ever bought i highly recommend Neptune Harvest products.

i love clones as i hate the veg stage and always seem to make them unhappy here and there, i find flower stage way easier than veg so to me its almost clean sailing from here on out. :jointsmile:

gotta love the ghetto reflectors made from a trash can split in half, on has mylar the other is mirror polished and they both seem the same.


have some pics

[invision]

HOT DAMN have they freaking grew........

i get pics soon tonight but holy damn the plant on the right is almost to the glass already, LST time.........and they need water.

just talking to myself pay no attention.............

[invision]

tied some down and gave them a nice watering, they are getting massive fast now :thumbsup:

you know whats weird is they have tons of 3 finger leaves and almost no 5 finger ones.......

[r00tdoctor]

Looks like there gonna fill up your cab nicely. And those girls are all lookin good now. I actually feel bad when I kill male plants lol. Putting all that work into them then there male. My plants are very close to yours in flower , mine are on day 11 of 12/12 now.

[invision]

whats up root,

i never grew from clones before aside from a single plant months ago, clones grow so fast i cant believe it there are branches forming off of branches i never had plants do this before, i was use to 10-12 colas a plant but damn this seems like a lot of plant to flower.

haven't had to scrub smell yet and hope i dont the last crop held zero smell until cured :)

[invision]

the smallest clone is getting buried under the rest of the canopy and not recieving the best light, hopefully i will figure something out for her as i cant prop her up due to balance and space issue.

everything else seems good, a slight tinge of what could or could not be nute burn but that is on maybe 2 leaves on 2 plants so ill caulk it up to nothing yet as not other leaves look this way.

ill see tonight.

[invision]

some from tonight.

these plants are getting huge and wide and with 2 weeks left for stretch im starting to worry a bit but ill figure that out when i need to.

everything else seems like its going good and cant wait to see some buds forming :jointsmile:

[Weedhound]

Oh I'LL kill them.....i put work in they better give me something back or they hit the road.....well actually the cookie bin.

Good work invision.....see all that stuff you're adding right, left and sideways?
not for me....all in one bottle is my motto. :D

[r00tdoctor]

Could you prop the lil plant up with cd cases? lol just a thought. The grow is looking nice, ill be watching to see those buds form.

[invision]

ill try to see if i can prop her up something but im tight for space and the pots fit just right, ill have a look around and see what i have.

i

[invision]

got her up another 6 inches so now she up with the rest pretty much, i guess we will see what happens.

[r00tdoctor]

she will thank you for the extra light with making extra buds lol.

[invision]

im running out of room fast in there i dont know if i should ditch a plant for space or just flower it all out and hope for the best, damn i thought i would have had plenty of room in there.

oh well they need some water and ill take pics then.

[Markass]

nice grow you've got going bro :thumbsup:

[hydrocannabis]

I think that if you flower them now then yu'll have enought room.

[invision]

I think that if you flower them now then yu'll have enought room.

they are 2 weeks into flower right now, they just keep filling out and keep taking nutes in like nothing but i think all should be ok if they stay right where they are,
i also chopped off a bunch of lower branches and under growth that would have never made it, too bad they where into flower i could have taken about 15 clones from all the excess branches there were.

forgot to take pics last night so ill have some by tonight.

[invision]

2 weeks flower

[r00tdoctor]

You are running a little short on space bro , seems like a scrog would be your best bet for maximizing that space. Hopefully they dont strech to much more.
Still looks great though im watching patiently, we should both be harvesting around the same time , seems like alot of people on this site all have plants around the same age in flower lol.

[invision]

hey thanks root,

i have about a foot of space left as they are on a stage all i have to do is remove it and drop them down but i want them to get as much light as possible and the glass helps a ton keeping temps down without burning them.

they can touch the glass without burning so im not overly worried about it yet plus i have a week left tops of the stretch left so i think im golden as i looked this mourning at them and they didnt get any taller.

[r00tdoctor]

Thats good about the glass , yes let those girls get all the lumens they can outta those lights. From the pic they only looked a couple of inches away from the lights now that im not high I can see there is still some space left , lol.

How are the buds on your girls forming? Its kinda hard to tell from your pics. I do see some white pistils shooting out in various places though. It amazes me how nice cannabis looks once it starts flowering.

[invision]

the tops are all covered in hairs and i can start to smell them.....yikes.....

i do not have a scrubber yet and i have to order a dial-a-temp for my cage fan as its way to powerful for this small grow(600CFM) and too damn loud, this fan is going to rock though when i buy my 600watt digi system this summer with a cool tube and start making some serious rock hard 2 foot long buds and have plenty to share with everyone in my family.

the clone i flowered a few months back was a single cola and was rock hard with a simple 150watt hps bulb, i never weighed it but it lasted me a month breaking off a piece for the bong everyday.

[invision]

everything so far is going great here, the mylar i had on one of the reflectors wore away after almost a year so i was forced to polish some steel ducting and mold it to fit in place like the other reflector and instantly i noticed a huge difference in the way the light hits the plants :thumbsup:

tops are all over the place in the cab it getting to the point when i open the door a branch will fall out kidnap me and pull me into the abyss :D

i ordered my temp thingy so hopefully by next froday i will have the oder all cleared up, thank god no one comes by here that much.

[r00tdoctor]

Its looking like a little forest in there. Im in the process of upgrading my exhaust / air filtration system myself because my plants are starting to reek also lol. So I know how you feel.

[invision]

they are still stretching a bit but looks like they slowed down at least some what and its almost time to chop off the lower leaves away to make energy to the new buds.

gave them a water last night with no nutes to flush away some build up that may be there, i normally give a good flush once every 3 weeks to ensure that nothing will make my PH go crazy on me.

debating putting in a few CFL light to the shaded area's but still deciding if its needed or not so who knows right now, if anything there are tons of bud sites to watch grow.

[invision]

some pics from tonight.

[MegaOctane12]

Good stuff man keep it going :rastasmoke:

[Inferius]

I bet you're excited :jointsmile:
Beautiful.

[invision]

hey thanks guys

forgot to mention i gave them a manicure and took off a bunch of lower leaves and branches, i filled a gallon jug full of leaves and other crap and its still cramped in there.

[Dizzy1]

Suprised you haven't taken an eye out in there! lol
Looking very nice, I can't wait to see some buds on there.

[Bree1978]

Invision...I haven't been on much since spring hit, but I have now noticed your new log! Things seems to be really going great! Now, what made you decide not to tie them down this time?

:jointsmile: Bree

[atsar]

looks brilliant man,the growth will begin to slow soon so you should be good for space,

[invision]

Invision...I haven't been on much since spring hit, but I have now noticed your new log! Things seems to be really going great! Now, what made you decide not to tie them down this time?

:jointsmile: Bree

i never worked with clones so i figured ill see how they react without tying and they just bushed right out but one plant is tied down but the rest are fine.

some plants hit the glass last night but i was to tired to care much so i drop them down 2-3 inches tonight, its jammed packed in there now and the buds are showing all over the place, the smell has gone away oddly enough after i ordered my dial a temp.

will take pics tonight.

[Dizzy1]

Hey, do you have another link with more details about your cab/light set up? Curious the dimensions. Also, how close can you get your plants to the lights?
I'm thinking about trying to pick up another 150 HPS, depends on your answers. ;)

[invision]

Hey, do you have another link with more details about your cab/light set up? Curious the dimensions. Also, how close can you get your plants to the lights?
I'm thinking about trying to pick up another 150 HPS, depends on your answers. ;)

i have a very fast exhaust system(250CFM) the air is always whatever the room is at, i can safely get the HPS with in 2inches of the plants but alot is due to the glass shield otherwise i can get them within 6 inches.

the cab is 32" wide 24" deep and 42" high :jointsmile:

the lights are nothing more than a standard HPS replacement kit i had wired myself and made reflectors for it, which is what i would do for your hood.

pics from tonight

i also lowered them 4-5 icnhes as the tops were going to get mushed into the glass if i didnt do something

[invision]

gave them some water and full strength nutes so i hope all goes well i have been pushing them with nutes almost every water with a flush every 3rd water and they just keep wanting more of it, buds are everywhere now i can already tell a few of these cola will be quite large.

my dial a temp arrived and hooked it up to my 600CFM squirrel cage fan for a test drive and so far it works great, even at the slowest setting it pushes more air than the fan i have now, this will be a much needed improvement.

[r00tdoctor]

Very nice cant wait to see some updated pics , speaking of nutes I need to go feed my girls now so ill stop in soon to see if you have updated. lol

[invision]

hey root,

i tried to go away for the weekend but my cars ball joint broke and i almost smashed up my car going 70MPH on the highway and lost control, well good news is i dont have to worry for 3 days about them.

cars can be replaced but my plants are my family.....well for 3 months at best anyhow :)

pics tonight

[invision]

3 weeks flower

lowered them again and they now have about 6in left of room so i really hope they dont grow anymore.

[.:Karma:. o.O]

some really nice clones yea im gettin the cloning idea and haha we have tha same fan...

[invision]

28 days flower almost half way there.

stretching seems to have stopped, now the fun really begins :jointsmile:

[invision]

and some more :thumbsup:

[r00tdoctor]

Hey bro sorry I havent checked in in a few days been busy with life your buds are looking great though right where they should be in maturity for 28 days. I hope you update again soon. Are buds are very close in age so I like to stop by your log and make sure your buds are not outgrowing mine heh, since mine are a few days older. Your girls look all happy in there , and very healthy.

[invision]

my buds can beat your buds up!

thanks man i thought i was kicked out of the reply club, i watered them last night and they look frigging awesome much bigger than the last pics, a slight tinge of what could be heat stress but im not overly worried i just opened up the door and left it that way.

pics will follow tonight

[r00tdoctor]

The boards seem to be a lil slow lately, but hopefully after this summer heat they will pick back up. Will check in later tonight to see how your girls are doing.

[invision]

34 days flower :jointsmile:

[r00tdoctor]

There looking great and tric covered , that cabinet looks like it yeilds great.

[invision]

2 weeks left

im battling high temps which i cant control due to summer heat and im getting leaf burn on some tops and im sure this wont help my final yield at all.
hopefully ill make it another 2weeks before i decide when to chop as i was planning going 9 weeks flower but as things look it may be sooner than i wanted but i refuse to chop now or before a full 8 weeks flower.

[Bree1978]

Yes I agree about the heat.....But it they look super frosty!!!

:jointsmile: Bree

[hydrocannabis]

hot dam you plants/buds look great to me.

[Shovelhandle]

They are looking grand, Bub!

Shov

[invision]

they are really starting to fatten up since that last round of pics :jointsmile:

the temps are still high though but a bit better tonight at about 86F but dont know how long it will last, there is definitely a better yield this grow and with about 10-14 days left i should hit 3oz if not more.

the fish ferilizer did nothing but great things this grow i will be using this stuff forever, it dont smell either once in the soil but the actual water reaks of the ocean.

[r00tdoctor]

Your plants are looking good bro , yes the heat sucks. I cant wait for the weather to cool down so tempatures are easier to manage. 2 of my three plants are managing this summer heat well the third is more heat stressed. But my yield should also be good also. I dunno how many oz's im gonna get off my setup but prolly over 10.

[invision]

well this has come to a end as of tonight, they have been in the dark now about 36hrs waiting to be harvested, i took a sample a few days ago and was blown away instantly and the trichs are pretty much 100% cloudy and alot of pistols are dying off and they stopped fatten up so their time is up.

ill fire up the lights to take some pics and then im done with this thread, this is most likely my last grow log as this board is too slow and am a bit disappointed by it but hey the log is done pics up tonight.

[hydrocannabis]

so UR saying U R quiting growing or just quiting doing a grow log.

[green_gardenr]

plz dont go i love checkin out the pics and seeing how ppl who grow good bud do it im on my way but ill post more if u stick around

[acidboy]

dude come back, your last log was extreamly helpfull, and now ive got my frist grow going on a clone that was given to me, she is going at about 1.5weeks at 18/6 and is looking like your kinda when you started to flower, any advice on stunting streatch, as your cab is bigger than my closet, only one girl in there with 2 27watt cfl daylight

[Shovelhandle]

Well, I liked this grow thread a lot. I couldn't add much input as either everybody else "knows it" or I didn't. But good luck with your harvest. I'm enjoying mine now too. Please do a final wrap-up, including some of the original information about the grow.

Thanks,

Shov

[alwayssleepdeprived]

great job invision...most of the old timers are still around they just don't post as much cause it's the summer

Everyone must be out actually experiencing this beautiful weather ;-)

one tip that I've found is that you can't have enough air flow...I recently changed to one of those new fans that tunnels the air and have it on full blast right on em and even though the thermo says it's still the same temp the leaves themselves sweat so the air moving drops they're temp and new growth isn't showing any signs of stress ( my leaf tips looked just like yours )

hope you enjoy the green my friend, awesome job for 300w :D

[invision]

everything is dried and cured now, the trim job wasnt that bad took about 2hrs to do it.

all in all i ended up with just over 4OZ and was very surprized, its too bad really i bet if things didnt get too hot i could have easily nailed 5-6oz from them but the last 3 weeks of flower really put a hurting on them, i filled 4-16oz mason jars to the top with bud.

the smoke it decent, not over whelming, a nice taste, and a pleasant high, guess i shouldnt complain much as the woman in my life is more than pleased with it.

anyways thanks for looking, these pics were from the night of the chop.

happy growing :thumbsup:

[Shovelhandle]

That sounds about right. I get around two onces in a 32 oz. jar...

Cool grow, Invision.
