I AM BACK

[mobay]

Whats up everyone? i had a good run with the soil grow, tought me a lot of things. now iam here to start my hydro log up again. the big bud was off the hook, so now i know the do's and donts on this hydro thing.
this grow will be K2, ICE 2000, NEBULA, and AURORA INDICA. has anyone ever use those rapid starter plugs bufore? man let me tell you, i put the seeds into the plugs on Friday morning, thinking it will take about a week to germ. here it is tuesday and they are 1/2inch tall already. man this is going to be a good grow here.

[Kush Over]

Dude, you've made my day! :dance:

K2, Ice, Aurora Indica, and Nebula!? This is going to be a killer grow -- I hope everyone of those plants turns out female and are manageable enough to keep. Those are some heavy strains, especially the Nebula [ well, in my opinion ].

Literally, it'll spaces you the fuck out! Put your mind in a black hole, thoughts shooting faster than a Relativistic jet.

Grow on, Mobay!

[LIP]

K2 will NOT let u down. trust me!

[postmandave]

And hes off again.Lol. Go for it bro. the aurora indica is a killer plant to grow>as you know ive got a couple going now and some nebula to man this will be good. great to see you at it again bro .best of luck. The postman.

[BukDatAss]

Nice grow man, this is gonna be a good one

[mobay]

ok here is your daily update, lol. yesterday i thought pic 1 was dead and i was going to get rid of it today. so lastnight i added superthrive to my res. and today that bitch woke up and is looking good.

[Kush Over]

Awesome. Way to go, Mobay.

They're all looking good.

Yeah, that SuperThrive's good shit. I like to call it a feminizer, but people will disagree.

[GrowinGreen23]

you goign to just use the superthrive for the veg or are you mixing it up? you put your seeds in rockwool or perlite? and what size clay pebbles are those around it?

looks good though i'm goign to keep my eye on this one

GG23

[mobay]

thanks postman, yeah bro iam at it again. wait til my christmas grow , this aint shit, lol.

hey lip, never had k2 before, so whats the high like? damn can you see through those thick ass glasses :D .

BIG BUK whats up, man i havent seen you post anything in a while , keepin it on the down low i see :thumbsup: .

KO yeah man that superthrive really did the job on the k2, woke her ass right up :D .

GG23 iam gonna use the thrive all the way through this grow with the 3 part general hydro nutes. have to cause summertime will get a little hot up there for the plants. used the superthrive on my soil grow and it's been in the lower 90's in my box alot , and the white russian isnt being stressed cause of it. :dance:

[Garden Knowm]

watch out for stem ROT.....

keeping that grow sponge wet all the time is probably not a good idea..

ILOVEYOU

[mobay]

GK these plants are gonna be grown the same way the big bud was. had 2 drippers on her and she was massive.

[Garden Knowm]

yeah I hear ya,,,,,,

how about the stem always being wet?

this aiint your woman.. this is a plant...

love

[GrowinGreen23]

you have two drippers running at once on one plant? can that be limited by buying adjustable drippers? what was you GPH set at? and thos are in rockwool and clay pebbles right?

[mobay]

GK tell me what is the difference between pic 1 and the pics at the top of this thread???? like i said iam gonna grow these plants like i grew my big bud. why mess with perfection???????????? ask postman was the big bud i sent him taste like stem rot

GG23 inside of my shed the big bud was near the fan the most and it was drying my starter plug out so at one point i put 2 drippers on her. remember that , you put the drippers to the side of your plant not right on top of them.

[mobay]

sorry pic 2 and 3 are for you GK and here are the pics for you gg23 1 and 4

[Garden Knowm]

ummmmm... you lost me....

Iloveyou

[britewire]

"why mess with perfection????????????"



LMFAO... "perfection"



lol

[Crispyfried]

I don't like those rapid rooter plugs. They seem to promote fungal growth and don't seem to let the tap root grow freely.

[busteruk7]

good luck with this grow mobay m8
cheers all :)

[GrowinGreen23]

thanks i will be looking in to them, maybe i'll use those in stead of rockwool or something two liter bags are good for about 4 plants in 3" net pots? or double that?

GG23

[postmandave]

Looking good bro .I have heard of these plugs .Are they doing there job for you .if the buds turn out as nice a smoke as that bb then thats all you need .Are you going for the big and massive this time or the neat and tidy look > I know you consentrate on bud size and quality so it will be intresting to see what you yeild here as your big bud was up there with the best i have tryed a very very nice smoke.Did you use these plugs last grow or is this the first you have used them.The Postman.
ps been trying to grab you on messenger but we keep missing each other bro so give my computer a call when you have time later bro and best of luck with this grow .

[postmandave]

Were you got to bro.Lets see some picsof how you are getting on .The Postman.

[mobay]

postman, this is an update on the grow. i took the plants out of the hydro res. only because i didnt fell like hauling 10 gallons of water up and down a ladder. i will go hydro for my christmas grow, outside in the shed.

so i placed the 4 plants into fox farm soil, and will be giving them nutes on friday. lets see some of your pics, show me a pic of the queen.

[mobay]

a helpful note to everyone.

A 250 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 2.5 foot by 2.5 foot grow area. (6 plants or less)
A 400 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 4 foot by 4 foot grow area. (12 plants or less)
A 600 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 5 foot by 5 foot grow area. (18 plants or less)
A 1000 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 8 foot by 8 foot grow area. (30 plants or less)

[BukDatAss]

Nicee Mobay its looking like a great start

[mobay]

thanks BIG BUK, iam going all out on the cfl with this grow here. have a 125w x 4 reflector coming soon, that will help out with this damn heat.

[britewire]

Cooltubes do the trick aswell

[mobay]

yes i know, but i have my grow box in the attic where it gets way to hot up there. i also had a 1000w system / with a cool tube. was using over 7000 kilawatts a month , along with my other household items, went down to a 400w system and in the winter time i was 6000 kilawatts a month. so it is time to take another downsize to get these kilawatts down.

[britewire]

That's true..

But did you downsize on the lights because of the costs or the risk to get caught?

[mobay]

cost, shit if the electric bill did come in her name she wouldnt know that i was growing up there.

[britewire]

Yeah that sucks..

1000 watts.. 8 x 8..... ?

I prefer 1000 watts MINIMUM for 4x4...

and 2000 watts for MINIMUM for 4x8 (with lightmover 4X12)


And really the foot print size for me never changes for 400, 600, 1000 watt HID's.

All the HID's should all be the same distance away from the gardens canopy.. Thus, more watts means LARGER YIELD.. not larger fot print.

It is miminmum 1 HID per 4x4 area.. increased wattage to me means BIGGER BUDS.. NOT necessarily more area..


: )

I am not disagreeing with you MOBAY.. just a different school of thought and practice..

: )

[mobay]

well than where is your signature, i love you?

[mobay]

You switched to soil. That's awesome!

Hydro's great, but soil and organic matter is where the Nature's at!

They're looking good from the pictures this morning.

I can already see the colors, and like.. the buds, man!

Keep up the Lord's work, Mobay! LoL

Do i know you john .When was i speaking to you about mobay.the postman.

[BukDatAss]

Nice Top notch selection:thumbsup:

[mobay]

big buk , iam gonna have to get my aim back up so you can get some of these white russian bitches growing.damn shame aim and yahoo messenger cant merge. but i will sign back on to aim today.

[Jdog7000]

Pictures of seedlings everyday. How exiting!!! lol

[mobay]

question , i noticed the leaves on 3 of 4 plants curling up. would that be a nute problem at 2 weeks? was giving nutes when they were in the hydro res, and thought that i could continue giving them nutes in soil. is the answer flush and give straight water?

[mand]

Hello Mobay :), How are you ? ................ Ok I hope :)

Well Mobay I'm hopless when it comes to problems, so I wouldn't take too much notice of me :o .

Anyway if they were mine I would just give them plain water for a while and see how they go.
Also Mobay I'm not sure if it has any bearing on them curling up, but what is the temperture like, I'm just wondering if it's maybe a little to warm.



Take what I say lightly love, it's more a case of me thinking out aloud :o.



love mand xxx :)

[mobay]

hey mand, i have been doing just fine dear. hope your doing as well .

ok the temp in the room is 75.2 degrees/ humidity is 45%. i just gave each plant some final flush to get the nutes out . i will just give them water and superthrive until i start 12/12. thanks for your input queen of grow.

[Kush Over]

The Queen of Green is good -- the only crown I'd serve allegiance to. LoL

Mobay, the grow's looking awesome. I'm impressed.

I can already see heavy Indica characteristics in two of them.

And that inward curling that's heavy in the first photo looks like magnesium deficiency. I don't know if that helps, but maybe the pH is off and it's locking it out or there's not enough of it in the medium?

Hope we can help with anything that may arise. Despite that, the grow's looking very nice. Keep it up, bro.

[mobay]

thanks KO i guess i have to go and get some distilled water.

[postmandave]

yeh bro give them a good flush with distilled water .this curling up of the leaves can be caused by giving nutes to earlie i had this happen to me and after i flushed they were fine.I dont know if you use water straight from the tap as this can cause this prob to .i have to 30 litre containers the i fill with boiled water and leave sitting for 48 hours before i use it once you get into the routine of doing this it works fine as soon as one container is empty i fill it again and while thats sitting for 48 hours i use the other one vice versa.anyway looking damn good as usual later bro .the postman.

[mobay]

woke up this morning and they are looking just fine . thanks for the input all.

[mobay]

ok the plants are doing better now. has anyone ever grew ICE 2000, K2, NEBULA, OR AURORA INDICA before? 1 of these bitches is stinking up my room already.

[Kush Over]

Looking nice.

Which one do you think has the strong odor?

[John Doe]

eeee as soon as my crop finishs I think Ill have to get some seeds or have a buddy get me some clones from a cannibis club.. I need some BOMB!!!
But im getting the feeling my sativa is gonna be killer!

[mobay]

i think its the ice 2000 or the nebula, but which ever one it is iam gonna have to put my ionic pro in there with them

[postmandave]

Dont know what the ice smells like but but the nebula and aurora indica stink bad.You are going to love this aurora indica they are totaly covered in trichomes at 5 weeks and the nebula as you know bro is my favourite the stone is so good it kinda makes you fell all spacy and dreamy a exellent weed you are in for a treat bro with the strains you have there. the nebula smells so sweet .good luck and lookin good bro and a gain i tryed to catch you but with being up and down to the hospital i keep missing you so will try again tonight .i have taken some pics of the box for you ,its not finished as ive been busy but its looking good bro .the postman.

[postmandave]

[SkillzRemix]

[postmandave]

public verdict on the wr required lol .the postman.

[mobay]

ok, i just received my 4 in 1 reflector and have it hooked up. these bitches are in for a real treat now. my grow box is 3x4 and the reflector has 6 in space around the sides, perfect fit. there is enough room under the light to fit 4 more plants in there, 3 gallon pots. i will veg for 1 more week to get the plants that werent getting enough light to catch up with the ice 2000 plant, she has taken off excellent. CFL here we go.

[mobay]

more pics of plants

[Garden Knowm]

WOW, nice pics.. very healthy plants..

FLOWER NOW!!!!!

you KNOW it!!!!!

dont let them get TALL!!!!!

ILOVEYOU

[mobay]

thanks GK, i will put them on 12/ 12 tomorrow.

[Garden Knowm]

how many nodes do you have?
are you gonna take clones?

: )

[BukDatAss]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:

[mobay]

GK i have 8 nodes on the ice 2000, and 6 on the others but the other plants are coming along real good with the new reflector i put in. started 12/12 today so now i have the lights come on at 9pm and off at 9am. 91 degrees in the attic now and 81 inside of the grow box with the lights off. man this ice2000 has the stem size of a AA battery.

i have only 1 main concern, and that is , in june i will be going on vacation for 7 days . have to get them water for the week, any advise?

[cactusman23]

I saw this setup once where a grower used a tray to put his pots in and he filled it with water, he also had a three liter bottle with a hole on the side. the hole was even with the level of water he wanted the water to be in relation to his pots. said grower filled the 3 liter with water and closed the cap tight, so as to not let any air in. as the plants used the water the level would go down and expose the hole to a little air, which in turn would equalize the water level until it was even with the hole again. sort of a homemade watering system, i dont know if this is the solution for your setup, but i thought you might find it interesting, btw, i love that cfl setup.:thumbsup:

[mobay]

i have a self watering system now, but my plants are in 3 gallon pots. the system has 7 liter capacity, and it wont be enough to water all 4 plants. just have to test this system out before i travel, here is the system site.

http://www.smarthome.com/31102.html

[mobay]

ok here is my update on the plants, ice 2000 is growing excellent, thats the tallest plant. once i see hairs i will tie her down :)

now the last i seen was 6 shoots on this aurora indica, now that i have gotten a closer look at the plant , it has 14 shoots growing strong. postman told me that the ai doesnt like scrog. but she will like to be tied down if it a female, she doesnt have a choice with 14 shoots :D .

nebula is coming along very well :)

now his k2 has impressed me alot from its 1st day above ground . i didnt think this plant was gonna make it at first, but giving the plant the superthrive its doing really good :dance:

[mobay]

i just love when a healthy plant reach for the lights.

[orangeman]

i just love when a healthy plant reach for the lights.

Lol, but no..if you've seen my pics you'd know I only have a shitty panasonic camcorder I use for still pics (lol), but I put pictures that I really like on my PSP and if it was taken with a digital camera some how it tells me which camera the author of the picture used :p.

Flava FlaveEEEEE!!!!!

[mobay]

ok this is day 6 of 12/12, i think that 3 out of 4 plants are males. check it out . i think i messed up when i took them from the hydro to soil that made them go male . gave them nutes in the 1st week, shouldnt have. added superthrive in the 2nd week of vegging, should have used day 1. dont want to waste my time on seeing if more balls show up. start over again asap.

[mobay]

the only plant that doesnt have this look is the nebula plant

[cactusman23]

that sux ......balls?:stoned:

[mobay]

good, i have my seeds germing right now as we speak. this thread is dead will start a new one.

[BukDatAss]

Sup Mobay How r things going Im OK I'm still vegging these ladies man their taking for ever........ I'm really busy with house work and all, thats y I'm not on as much.... Keep up the crazy growssssssssss:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :dance:

[mobay]

ok i only have the nebula that was female, so i guess that i can keep this thread going. but man that ice2000 is one amazing plant. i have 4 seeds germing now and the ice2000 has broke the shell and has its root going down into the rapid rooter already.
