Blood, Sweat and double C22 with 1K

[BlueBear]

OK folks, glad you could join me. My cab has been up and running for about 10 days or so. I am going to get up a pick or two to get the ball rolling.
Short story, double C22, 1K and 79D temps, LOL. Plants are 4 weeks and under. Just switched to flower today. These pics are from a few days ago , some maybe longer, and they have grown since then. Strains are Bigie and Alpha 13, both from the doc.
The reason this has been such a challenge for me is because I am without my sight. My wife has been a trooper, soldier and everything in between. This along with my veg cab sent me and the misses to the hospital on two separate occasions for stitches. I did my self up with a razor cutting out a hole for a fan, and my wife leaned back and stuck her hand in a 280CFM squirrel cage fan, ya ouch!! She didn't miss a beat, and we have finished.
Hope these pics will load.
Thanks to all that have contributed to this board and IC Mag as well. OH ya, I can't say it enough, check out Zandors grow report. all of the details on how to grow this lovely plant make for a good foundation to be a good grower IMO.

Lol, wow, a new Monolith has been born! (That was a nickname a guy on overgrow.com gave his double-C22 cab, The Monolith.)

Show us some pics of the giant cab, if you can do it without undue paranoia.

Hope your giant box produces all you want it to! ;)

Thanks boys. I have one door completely blocked by the veg cab, but as soon as I move it I will get a full body shot, or rather my wify will. Will post picks later today or early tomorrow of progress. Will be sexing soon. Took 15 clones 3 days ago and all are looking like they want to make it. Trying to get a mother plant from each of these strains. I have a few where the nodes are so close it is incredible.
I do hang out over at IC Mag and allot of OG refugees go there and I have born allot of ideas away, and I still dig up the Google cash text of Over Grow for ideas. Guess I am an information vulture of some sort.

I am giving a quick low down on the strains that I am growing to make this a little more of an informed grow for you folks.
This particular strain Alpha 13 was extremely hard to germinate, out of 7 that went to the glass and PT''s I only got 3 to pop and still have 3 sitting a side, hope that I pull at least 1 female to make a proud mother...
Our best skunk hybrid, Mixed up with a Big Bud Mom, a great Commercial strain , Alpha13 is quick to flower and produces big fat buds making for fast
and effortless production great taste and a nice trippy head high .

Thc Content: Med/High
Buzz: Heady "way up there"
Mix :indica/Sativa
Flowering : 55-60 days
Height : Short
Outdoor Harvest: sep / week 3-4


This second strain was too easy to germ, almost all of the beans popped in the shot glass with in 24 hours without even going to the paper towel. Got 9 going, but 1 went south in the soil and never came up to visit the world, RIP.
BIGGIE SMALL

Big on production low in height. our strongest heavy handed indica forms a large single Kola and produces a sparking array resin..a real flash back to
the heavy aghani black days of the 70's, makes for potent bubblehash or oil.

Thc Content: dance hall stylee
Buzz: heavy hitter
Mix :indica
Flowering : 52-55 days
Height : Short
Outdoor Harvest: sept week 3-4


Hope that this makes this a little more entertaining for you all.
Will post more pics tonight when the babies wake up.

OK, quick update. Hear are a few more pics. Older ones are on day 34 from seed and some are about a weak younger. second day of flower, temps are in the low 70's. First is a shot to show how close these nodes are on the Biggies. Next is a shot of the Alpha, major stocks coming up from the bottom of the root zone, I like it. Next are some misalanious that my wife is throwing in.

OK, I may have a problem, I think that my ladies may out grow my cab before flowering is over. Right now they are about 20 in and on their 5th day of flower, 36 days from seed, indika dominate strains with a 55, 60 day flower time. They only have about 20in of grow room left giving enough clearance for light not included in the 20in, with that I have about 30in all together. 2 thoughts to possibly control the situation. 1. I was going to move them from the 2g pots into 3g pots because the roots look like they will be bound in about another month or less and I am thinking that if I just leave them that it will slow down vertical growth, but I don't want to significantly ruin bud production with any root bound issues.
2. I was thinking about doing a little light bondage/LST, but I am not sure how this will work out since they are already in flower.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Heh, I had that happen last grow. I veg'd my plants too long (out of necessity, had to leave town and didn't want them flowering until I got back). They got too big, then in flowering they exploded into growth and I had to tie them this way and that way throughout the rest of flowering to keep the lights from burning them.

So, your plans both sound good. I'd leave them in the 2g pots. Not really a great idea to shock them with a transplant during flowering anyway. And tie them however you must to keep them from frying on your lights. That didn't seem to bother my plants at all, they adjusted fine. Don't really see that you can do much else; it'll probably be a struggle the rest of the way...but it'll be worth it! ;)

[BlueBear]

Hey Jam thanks for checking up on me. Well I guess that I will have to just roll with the punches and ride it out. I will probably start tying down in a week or so after I am done sexing. So far 1 for sure male and 1 other possible male out of 12. Got rid of one male already.
May post pics tonight.
