Jerry Garcia's Blue Widow, Blue Apollo, and Mystery Seed From Start to Finish

Do you use the whole gallon on one grow period?

Nice plants, btw!

It is close enough, Big bloom is used thru most of the grow and use 1 or 2 Tablspoons per gallon of water every time.

3 more weeks huh? and your on flush? JG this grow is looking nice. I wish i had space to flower more then 5 plants at a time

Anbesol,

I think your a little confused. I have not started flushing yet, I alternate between waterings. They now get close to 2 waterings a week now, 1 is with nutes the other is plain water. I do this to prevent nute build up and give the plants time to absorb all the nutriants before adding more. Thats how I don't get salt build up and other bad things happening.

Also Thanks for stopping by and letting me know your watching Doobster, and Shov.

Today I gave my 8 smaller babies a feeding of full strength nute mix that is recommended on the chart. I decided to go for the full recommended amount because they are just coming out of full bloom and going into the ripening stage. I am starting to see pistols turning and they are beginning to put on weight fast. I know this because the colas are beginning to lean ( not to the point of snapping ). This feeding consisted of.

1 Tbs. Big Bloom
2 tsp. Tiger Bloom
1/2 tsp. Cha Ching
1 tsp. pH Down for tap water correction.

This is for 1 gallon water and gave each plant 1/2 gallon of the mix. This is different than my usual technique. in my past grows I would have used a full gallon per plant and let the excess drain out. Now I can't do that this grow due to I cannot move the plants to out of the box, if I used a gallon it would over flow the catch saucers I have and that's not good.

It is going to be interesting on how I determine time to harvest because I cannot get in there to see the trichs. The recommended flowering time for them is 70 days so I may just let them go until day 77 and pull a couple out and harvest. Then look and make a determination at that point. Moving them this close to finishing would be a bad idea.

Great Show JG.....man they look awesome.....I guess our nutes are similar...i use less Tiger bloom and cha ching....but my babies get nutes every feeding.....but its real nice of you to show the views you nute schedule....might have to try bumping up the ppm like you on the next grow! Good luck bro.....you grows are always top notch!

Yours are lookin quite nice too JG:greenthumb:

wow JG that is really an awsome grow...maybe i should say jungle very impressive. I just bought the full line of FF products and im excited to use em. what kind of soil did you start off with during your seedling phase? and up to now your using moisture control and perlite?

Purpwidow,

I have use the same soil thru this entire grow. And your correct it is a mixture of 16 quarts of MG Moisture Control and 4 Quarts perlite.

Also for you all I tried to take pics for day 57 of the flower cycle but was unable to get any good pics that were worth posting. Everything is going as well as expected. The colas are getting huge now and the smell of blueberry is now present. Also I wish I could get a picture of BW8, this has some of the most beautiful colas. They are around 4 fingers wide and are almost completely white from the trichs.

Well I thought that I would give better update on the situation after looking at the plants tonight.

Well problems are begining to arise:(

Plant BA4 is showing big-time signs of nute lock or high pH. At almost over 24 hours after watering with plain water the fan leaves turned a bright yellow and is need of a flush.

My dilemma is:wtf: it is the tallest plant of them all! and the smallest producer of them all! Next she is all the way in the back and I would have to remove 4 plants out of the box. Just to get her out flush her then put her back.

So the decision is to let her stay for now and be somewhat sacrificed for the good of the rest.

I did as good of an inspection as I could of the rest and OMG it is like every branch you move their is a Giant Cola just dripping of trichs. I just sat down there for an hour smoken a "J" in compleat disbelief and the biggest:D on my face. This is when I determined:) I would have to be insane to move those plants right now for that one bad performer. If anything her buds will taste better from less chlorophyil, Right?

I wish I could get pictures of this but like I said, they look just like the last pictures pretty much. Believe me I want to see them up close just like you do but I have to take this hands off approach right now or risk breaking something or even causing a domino effect and taking them all down.

My plan is to take a whole bunch of pictures of each plant at harvest. Just to give you an idea of what they look like:) look at my avatar and imagine that after some one covered it with powder sugar. These colas are that big, and there are alot of them;)
