So I wanted to start this log in a complete way, Showing Clone Pics to their current state of being 6 days into flowering. But unfortunately my digital camera got thrashed upon my move 2 1/2 weeks ago and all I have is 1 picture of them in early Veg and Some pics I have taken today. So nonetheless lets get this fucker rolling............

1- DarkRoom 120 grow tent(3"11x3"11x7ft)
-1 Clone each of Purple Diesel(indica Dominant), Purple Kush and Romulan.
-1 VHO T5 8 x 24W, 192W fixture
- Soil... 2 parts fox farms Light Warrior and 1 Part Ocean forest
-PHʻd Water
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x119/Sukoshi84/IMG_0148.jpg

... I Vegʻd like this for 4 Weeks before I transplanted the ladies into Tiered 1 gallon pots. I only used Ph balanced of 6.5 and 1 feeding a week of Botanicare pure pro grow. After 4 weeks I transplanted the ladies into 3 gallon tiered pots, I alternated Water and Pure Grow Pro for feeding. After my move I planned change the light setup and induce flowing but......

1 clone had major powder mildew, luckily i know a few buddies and we wiped out the PM with a quick application of Eagle 20 and the ladies have fully recovered.

On Sept 18th I switched to a 12/12 light/dark cycle.........

A shot of the grow tent .....

Right now the Ladies are in a soil mixture of 1 part fox farms Light Warrior and 2 parts fox farms Ocean Forest.
- Im using a brand new 600W Lumatek Ballast
- 600W Lumatek HPS
- Hydrofarm Radiant 6 Air Cooled Hood
- PH Balanced water @ 6.6
- Fox Farms Open sesame(half the called for amount) every 4 days for 1 more week.

Starting next week, the 2 1/2 week mark theyʻll be getting alternated between Ph balanced watered, Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom and Grotek Monster bloom. I also want to throw in the Molasses Gnarness to but i think i need to wait till around week 4-5 for that.

Let me know what ya guys think!! this is my first ever indoor grow and my second grow overall. Iʻll try and update often but iʻm rocking 22 credit hours this semester.

Iʻll Update with Pictures When the lights turn on at 7.......

Im a bit worried about my Big Bitch...... Romulan, She is showing some strange wilting in a few random spots and has shown for a few weeks what looks like Mite Damage.... but I have no mites at all.

Once i get Photoʻs up i could use some Insight and possible suggestions, And thanks the 2 of you who actually comment on my Log!!

22 units, that is a heavy load. Are you working, growing, and doing 22 units at the same time? If so, you definitely have your hands full.

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x119/Sukoshi84/DSC01178.jpg

The wilting you can somewhat see in the last Photo, She has purple Stems but iʻm not sure that itʻs the strain as itʻs showing with the Wilt.

As for the other Photos, iʻm not sure if itʻs just nute Burn or a nute deficiency. Iʻve only Given Botanicare Pro Bloom Soil 18ml per gallon, some Molasses and given 1 feeding of Monster Bloom around the 9th day of flowering with the Pro Bloom. My Water Ph is between 6.4-7.0

What the fuck is going on :wtf:

FlyinPolynesian

10-08-2010, 01:12 AM

Could it be that theyʻre Root-Bound ?? my other big Girl Purple Kush is now showing similar coloring on some of its large Secondary Fan leaves. Theyʻre in 3 Gallon pots..... and the 2 biggies are at the least 2 1/2-3 ft tall and equally as wide.

Iʻm staring to get a bit apprehensive and pissed off!!!

canniwhatsis

10-08-2010, 02:34 AM

I got nothing, Sorry bro :( Up potting might help the big girls. My gut tells me it's a PH issue tho, High? Low? just generally pissed off with the nutes? Or lack of enough? Got no clue.

I see some Thrip damage in there as well. Have you noticed any little buggers that look kinda like fruit fly's around your plants?

FlyinPolynesian

10-08-2010, 02:53 AM

I havent Noticed any winged fucker yet, but iʻll keep an eye out... What can be done for Thrips at this stage of flowering with out ruining the Buds ??

Iʻm trying to get friends the have vast grow knowledge over but iʻm getting the Master Flake Excuse every time. Iʻm gonna try to put the big ladies in 5 gallon pots tomorrow, although Iʻm a bit worried about how this might negatively affect them ??

Thanks for the input bruddah :thumbsup:

i just wish with all the people on here i could get a bit more insight for those that have been doing this for decades ++.

Have you tried posting a thread under Plant Problems? There's a Copy/paste form that you can fill out. Rusty might be able to nail it down, but he doesn't frequent the grow logs. Try over there ;)

As for thrips, I've used Fox Farm "Dont Bug Me" spray it knocks them little fuckers out right quick,... typically needs 2 apps about a week apart, It's a little late, but overall shouldn't effect the buds as they still have over a month before they're done. Make sure you lightly mist the soil. Adults have wings and cause the visible damage I see in the pics, larva make mites look huge and have to migrate into the soil to pupate, so get the soil to kill them too. It don't take much.

I've up potted in week 2 of flower with nil problems, as long as it's done right it doesn't stress the plant much. Tip on up potting, do it right before lights off, this allows the roots time to recover while the leaves aren't demanding lots of circulation and nute uptake.

Good luck!

10-08-2010, 06:24 PM

Thanks my Man :thumbsup:

Iʻm have my Lady Pick up 2-5 Gallon pots on her way home tonight and iʻm gonna have her pick up a small 10" oscillating fan to so i can have better circulation.

Iʻm gonna hold off giving Monster Bloom until day 25 or so giving the ladies a few days to settle..... so itʻll just be Phʻd water and 20 ML per Gallon of the Pro Bloom Soil... Alternated.

Iʻm gonna try and fill out that Troubleshooting sheet, if not iʻll just re post those pictures and info i posted in here in the plant problem section.

FlyinPolynesian

10-10-2010, 12:32 AM

So.....

Iʻm gonna flush again tonight with water that at about 7.4 PH to hopefully help with the nute burn.... also do you guys think a small does of blood meal or something Nitrogen rich would be better to do tonight or should i wait till theyʻre flushed a bit better ??

Question....??

What do you guys think about giving 24 Hours of Darkness right before i cut em down ?

A buddy told me it helps them basically suck every last bit of water and fatten emʻ up a bit better.

I took a quick look at the Trichomes on the Purple Diesel and Purple Kush, and it looks like theyʻll be ready to come down in the next 5 days. For the Purple Kush and Purple Diesel Im seeing about 7% amber, 43% Cloudy and 50% Clear and The Romulan is about 2% amber, 30% cloudy and 58% clear.

Iʻm stoked the Purple is really starting to come in on Kush and Diesel, iʻm gonna take some pictures tonight as well for another update!!

10-31-2010, 01:51 AM

So i just took these, here is the Purple Diesel and Purple kush. They both look to be about 5-6 days away from harvest!!

Day 41,... so 6 weeks.

DONT CUT THEM DOWN!!!!!!!!!

You will about double your yield if you practice some patience here. Give em another week and a half to 2 weeks.

If you MUST smoke some,... take the tops and leave the bottoms to mature more. You'll probably like the bottom half of the plant better! ;)

Iʻm going of the trichomes, thatʻs all. I see no real need to let emʻ go too long just to have a bit more weight, i rather have a better smoke than more quantity of mediocre Ganja.

I took a quick look at the Trichomes on the Purple Diesel and Purple Kush, and it looks like theyʻll be ready to come down in the next 5 days. For the Purple Kush and Purple Diesel Im seeing about 7% amber, 43% Cloudy and 50% Clear and The Romulan is about 2% amber, 30% cloudy and 58% clear.

Am I missing anything regarding the ratio and when to cut or will it just take that long to fill in a solid 70% Cloudy and 30& amber ratio ??

canniwhatsis

10-31-2010, 03:56 AM

Do as you will, but over the next two weeks quality will continue to improve, and yield will increase.

Check out most of the seedbanks sites,... they have flowering times.

Romulan is listed as 56-60 days, Purp Kush, 50-60 days.

Your Close,... but give em another week or two!

Again, chop the tops and leave the bottoms to run,... taste/feel the difference and decide for yourself when to harvest for your wants/needs. :hippy: :stoned:

11-02-2010, 11:16 PM

Iʻm gonna try and wait, I have a buddy stopping by tonight to take a look at emʻ and let me know what he thinks. Heʻs a big time grower who knows his shit and has helped me out with great result thus far!!

Nonetheless iʻll be puffin tuff on my ladies by Thanksgiving:jointsmile:

Iʻll also take some more pictures over the next 2 days and of course as i cut emʻ down:hippy:

FlyinPolynesian

11-05-2010, 04:04 AM

So Iʻm gonna cut the Purple Diesel and Purple Kush either Tomorrow morning or Saturday morning. Both are showing mostly Amber and Milky Trichomes. The Romulan is gonna go for another 4-6 days, as she is still filling in nicely and is only showing mostly clear and some milky Trichomes.

FlyinPolynesian

11-10-2010, 10:54 PM

So iʻve trimmed the Purple Kush and Purple Diesel, and they have 1 day left before i put into Jars to Cure. The Romulan is still going strong, looks like itʻs still about 4-6 days out from being cut down.

I kinda spaced on taking pictures during harvest, But i will try to remember to take emʻ when i bring down the Romulan. I weighed both the Purple Kush and Purple Diesel and my yield from the Purp Kush was 3 1/2 Ozʻs and the Purp Diesel was 2 1/3 Ozʻs.

So all in all not to shabby for my first Indoor grow and i still have that monster Rom to Harvest:jointsmile:

Iʻll take some pictures of the dried Ganja and post emʻ up with the ROm harvest pictures.... iʻm already planning my next crop and itʻs gonna be 4-6 plants this time:thumbsup:

Thanks for the love guys :hippy:
