weeddaddy, been following your grow... i have to say very impressive it amazes me how good your ladies have turned out! def wish I could do it like you... I was just wondering if you could give me some tips on feeding... or what your schedule was.. def appreciate it! keep it up man looks awesome!
Yep, the plant is near the end of it's life and it's dying. Great looking grow! I've grown some sativas that are lanky and foxtailed. They need lots of time to finish. The payoff is some really nice stash.Quote:

marcaka....I use mostly advanced nutrients....but that is not all there is to growing....I learned most of what I know from growing from following the excellent growers on this site, by reading all the posts about growing, then read the two books growing bibles cover to cover...I re read them often...I love the magazines....urban grower....maximum yield....rosebud...go to you tube and have watched every video of urban grower and sticky finger koma...and may others....I then take all those ideas and advice and make my own plan as to growing....we are limited to the number of plants here is California....I have a small family grow co-op....and when I started this indoor grow idea....I wanted it to be prepetural....it has to be that way to keep the medicine flowing to my people....
Growing outdoors is a ton easier than indoors....I mean it is night and day...
I have major experience with outdoor growing, but with all the rip offs happening I want it to be safe...so I moved indoors.
Growing indoors is tough.....I mean real tough....problems happen...and if you have done your research....you can deal with them logical....but....if you have not....you will see many posts on this site from someone...asking about how to solve the problem....
I have only read a few of your posts on you grows so I am not up to speed, but I can tell you....you have to PH your water....6.4 to 7.0 is tap water...and that is not what you need....if you can not afford a digital ph meter at least get a pool kit....that will get your PH close....Make sure your soil drains very will and put a clear water disk under your pot....water till you see run off....then go pick up the pot...that will let you know how it feels full...then after two days...pick it up...most of the time you may not need to water....but when the last 2 to 3 weeks of flower you may have to water every day.
Then other thing...it looks like you are taking too many leaves off your plants way too early....only take leaves off when they start to yellow....the lolly-popping your are doing is way to much and that is costing your yield.
Also...go from clone to 1 gal for a max of 2 weeks... then to 3 gal for 3 weeks and finally for a grow tent 7 gal for the final.....you need to re-pot right before you get root bound.
my schedule is as follows:
Veg:
Sensi grow A
Sensi grow B
B52
smaller pot...need more feeding schedule... so this is daily....flush every 3 day with PHed water
1 cap of seawood liquid
and bat guanno for a special tea
once a week
I veg for 30 to 45 days
Flower:
Sensi bloom A
Sensi bloom B
1 cap seawood liquid
Bud candy
Sweet Raw
every other day and pHed water in between
The 5, 6, and 7 week is the same but a add Bud X factor to the mix
The soil I use is a mix of pro-mix, worm castings and peralite....use plenty of peralite....you want that drainage.
Your next grow start a grow log....it forces you to put what is happening on paper...take lots of pictures....you will always go back to them many times...I do so at least once a week....
Good Luck
I really appreciate the advice and I will def have to start doing more reading I have read the bible and it has helped I am just having a really hard time with leaves already and they havent gone to 12/12 yet... I will start posting hopefully you can swing by and give me a few pointers :thumbsup: appreciate your knowledge
stay smokey
I belive the girls are back on track now...all the extra veg growth and now turned back to flowering.....I have some very interesting plants....I mean REAL interesting cola tops....5 days ago I bent over all the tops that veged out and tied them down right at the thick part of the cola...now all that growth is flowering and I have a few colas that small buds growing right at the lights ...I have the lights lowered a little more...and now I am reducing the temp in the room to 75 with light on 65 light off....and I have the lighting reduced to 11 light and 13 hours of dark....this weekend I am going to start adding a cup of ice to 5 plants every dark period to see if the calyx's will start to really swell and turn purple.....like they should....hence the name "purple berry kush"....
Talked to the breader who created this strain and the guy who I got these clones from about the problems....he has an excellent outdoor grow and none are ready to harvest....he said everything is 2 weeks late....so maybe this is a 9 to 10 week flower.....I have not every grown this strain....so I have no experience with the timing of harvest ....the tricombs are all clear and plants are still have all their white pistals...very few swelling calyx's.
The next two weeks will tell me what is happening. Visited two very nice outdoor grows today...and they are just starting to harvest.
Picture's this weekend.
and opened up the grow room.....make a huge difference. all plants have good spacing right now...the blue dream were over 7 feet tall and really got away from me....Sativa's.....just get huge quickly in a grow room....and I made the mistake of not topping or LST until it was too late for my room...I still have 4 in there and they are manageable with the reast of my grow which is mostly indica. This weekend I checked every plant took off a garbage bag of yellow leaves from all those babys....I would say 2 weeks and we should be right where I want to be.....I figure I lost 2 to 3 weeks with the light interruption and the revegging they did....buds are still growing on some plants and the calxy's are just starting to swell on others. My hands were covered in sticky gooy sweet smelling stuff....
I am just hanging in there....still taking clones from some of the mothers in the veg room....Started some Dream Queen from an excellent mother....I saw the finished plant that had over 5 pounds of dry come off of it outdoor.
Adding the airstones to the cloner has made a huge difference as they are rooting in about 4 to 7 days and ready for soil in 14 days with huge roots.
Outdoor growing is easy...indoor growing is challenging.....I am here for the long hall.....lets see what we have in 14 days.
Well it has been challanging with that light intruption issue....but I am very encourged as of this morning....bud are getting tight....calyx's are swelling, lots of frosty tricoms....buds are still growing and some have white hairs still but I am very happy with the progress over the last 7 days....I should be harvesting this Friday....per the original schedule.....but I believe only 2 plants will be ready....It may only take 7 to 10 additional days...but a ton of progress has happened in just 7 days.
Crop B is well on the way now as the Grand Daddy, Black Berry Kush, & Blue Dream are really flowering excellent now 4 weeks to go for those.
Crop C is ready to put in the flower room right now....just no room. I may just take out the mothers....there are 5 of them...put them under some floros for 2 weeks and change the MH blub to HPS and go to 12/12....in two weeks they will be ready to go into the flower room and have a jump start on flowering. Crop C is going to be very interesting all Sativa & and some hy-bread: Including kypronite, Purple Kush, Grand Daddy Purple, NY diesel.
Clone's are just starting to get some great root stock...some have been transplanted to 4" trays.....I have giving some serious thought to a "Sea Of Green for Crop D. 2 tables 20 plants per table in 3 gallon pots under 2 1000 hps...I will have the clones and they will be veged for about 14 days. I will continue with the same 15 gal pots for the rest of the grow.
Any thoughts?
Pictures on Friday.
The highs and lows are amazing on growing indoor.....Outdoor....I never....ever thought this much about my grows....... I thought a lot about getting ripped off....:)....but not much about the growing part.
Girls are on their way....lots of crystals....heavy tricoms....caylx's starting to really swell....starting at the bottom of the cola...they look very good and as they go up to each bud site...Tomorrow is officallly the harvest date...but I am going to let them go another 14 days, because of the light interuption that happened. If these colas with all those bud sites finish like I see them doing right now....I should have a fantastic crop. Still feeding them and have not started flushing. I am going to go one more week till I start flushing.
The Dream Queen is very close...the buds are small and very hard with beautiful orange to brown hairs and really sticky and the smell is mouth watering.
It been a long process for grow A. Grow B is buding nicely...the Blue Dream, Grand Daddy Purple, & Black Berry Kush have nice starting buds looking good, and I started a Purple Dragon on 12/12 as i had some extra room.
Veg room is ready to move into the flower room....just waiting for harvest all those Vegging plants need to be repotted into 15 gal containers...I just do not have that kind of room.....it may be possible...
Pictures tomorrow at day 56.
cant wait for the next post, hope all is well and that they fill out nicely :)
Just took these off the cloning machine....pretty nice roots on these babys
