And All Things New....

Here is the semi update! The new compost soil was a 'little' acidic (ie 6.0 or so). So I added about 1/2 tbs. lime per gallon of soil mixture, perhaps a little less. When I peeked at thier skivies, roots had miniscule growth. I had one that I would label 'good root growth'. This one also showed the lease ph probs and droopiness. That one is in the bin labeled Cee-cee. The others had some growth but not anything to write home about....tall and lanky of course coming in last place, with little to no root growth. The two that are younger- dark green cont. and medium blue hue small container -are doing well so far. I did NOT repot the dark green with Organic miracle-gro (I think that is the one that is the most sativa like, go figure that I like indicas!)[attachment=o131407]. I did repot the medium blue smallest bin, that one had not been repotted as of yet and showed twisted leaves but no other known def. That one thankfully looks very indica like.


Now, I'll sit and wait...

:jointsmile: Bree


Edit: I did not find rhizome mixture, but references to it...have to search more later.

Thanks for your help Stinky, things are going much better. I'm 99.99999999999 certain my biggest and bushiest is a male, bummer. Tall and lanky doen't look like it going to make, but I am not surprised. I know that they have some defs, and still are exhibiting some ph probs, but I'm waiting in the mail for all the answers to my problems (digital ph tester, PROFESSIONAL up/down, calmag).
Enjoy the photo.


:jointsmile: Bree

Hey, Bree. I'm watching! :) Nice pics...glad you're getting your new spiffy equipment, too. Sounds cool. What is PROFESSIONAL up/down? Do you mean that because it won't be baking soda and vinegar? ;) LOL

Also, why are your plants all off to the side in the pots like that? Is that because you will be LSTing them the other way? Thanks. :)

Check out my updates! Immagettin so close to harvest! :D

You absolutely have my permission to laugh..i said professional because they aren't home remedies....finally! ( I *may* have been under the influence and added the wrong remedy to my water and that's what fooked me in the first place, in addition to shite growing medium...we may never know)

Also yes, that is what I plan to do (why I planted them so far over), I did it last time I and liked it!

I stopped by your thread, thanks for taking a gander at mine, Fog!

:jointsmile: Bree

I also added this over the weekend [attachment=o132304]

[attachment=o132305], but it isn't working the way that I'd like. My temps got to 87 near the plant tops when the door was closed...this was with the new intake, although it is small...I don't want to build a bigger one so I'm in a pickle. Damn drill bit was 26.00 and I only used it once. It was about 76 in the house, so not that hot. I really wanted my temps to be lower, since I don't run A/C unless the temps reach over 82....I like it hotter than the plants, lol. I may just have to live with it not being completely optimal. blech.

hahaha that's the exact fan I love!
$5 at walmart and moves SERIOUS air.
I own like 6 of them.
Well if you are concerned that you only used your expensive drill bit once, why don't you drill yourself an active intake too? :D
The reason I mentioned cider vinegar as a better emergency pH down than lemon is that there's some aspect of cider vinegar that is beneficial to soil microorganisms. But I haven't the foggiest idea what it is.lol.

I own like 6 of them. I'm planning on buying at least two more!!Well if you are concerned that you only used your expensive drill bit once, why don't you drill yourself an active intake too? :D Oh, that is my active intake...Did I label it wrong?..I'm hoping that my exhaust is good with the vortex in there....do you think I should add another acitve one? Will it help????lol....dont want my wall to look like swiss cheese ! The reason I mentioned cider vinegar as a better emergency pH down than lemon is that there's some aspect of cider vinegar that is beneficial to soil microorganisms. But I haven't the foggiest idea what it is.lol. I didn't use the cider vinegar, I've only tried the lemon juice. I don't believe it stayed 'stable'. I had planned on buying your suggestion as a back up for when I run out. Plus, I'm sure I'll figure out something I can cook with it. I hold high reguard to your advice.

:jointsmile:Bree


edit: maybe my exhaust is not working as efficiently as I'd like.? I've taped the seems....I'm scratching my head. It's 81 at plant tops but the freaking door is open...84 with the curtain closed and door open....87 with everything looking stealth. Temp in my house is 72.

(in singsong voice) "there were six in the bed, and the little one said, ROLL OVER, ROLL OVER! So they all rolled over and one fell out....Then there were five in the bed and little one said, ROLL OVER, ROLL OVER! So they all rolled over and one fell out.....

So, you guessed it, I've found two males. My biggest and healthiest of course, and tall and lanky. I can't tell you how great it felt to kill that fucker! He was just starting to look a little healthier too, lol. I'm 99.9 percent sure I've found a female. I'll know by later today or tomorrow hopefully. My sight isn't that great, but I think I see some hair! Will my females turn hermie? Probably! Here are the ones left:[attachment=o132875]

Here is a photo of one that has a severe mg def and n def. [attachment=o132876] It was treated today.
Notice the praying leaves and incredibly light color?

Here is a photo of an iron (fe) def and mg def. [attachment=o132874] Two plants were treated two days ago. Notice the edges of the leaves turning lime green? See the twisting and slight praying? They are showing great progress already.

I lst'd today, with natural fibers from my hempin days. [attachment=o132877]I'm hoping the plants will be happy that they aren't being made into jewelry!!! ha ha. I'll be tightening them as I go along.

Finally here are my starts.[attachment=o132878]. Some of them are doing great, but many are not. I think it is the soil. Same crap that messed up my other plants. I've repotted the festuca glauca, which I have a pic of, but no room. It's supposed to be sheeps fescue, but just looks like common grass to me, ha ha....

It's been cooler here so I haven't addressed my heat issues. Plan to this weekend. I've been pulling my air from my furnace room (um duh stoner!) so I plan to pull it from another room and move my ballast into the heater room. That *should* solve that, fingers crossed.

I did get my ph meter. Don't buy the model I did. Hanna two point calibration education model. The trimmers move too easily and f up....I have to basically calibrate it every freaking five minutes. If I'm missing something on how to get them to lock in, let me know.

Now, I purposely did NOT smoke yet just so I could give you this update hopefully in it's entirety....As everyone that knows me I'm a serial editor (meaning instead of killing things, I like to edit them! ha ha)...So I hope that everything is correct and I didn't leave anthing out. I'm going to go spark, and then think of all the things I could have included but didn't because I forgot!

Happy Tokin and Growin,

:jointsmile: Bree

Festuca glauca= blue fescue, yes it is technically a type of grass. And a very pretty one at that.
I love the veg starts and your plants look SO much happier!!! Better than you give them credit for actually. I have never thought of praying leaves as something to be especially concerned with. But the pale one just looks as if it is still recovering from before and perhaps could use further flushing. And then some veg fert of course! :D

I got the praying leaves from OG's plant sickness guide...I can't find the link because I lost it when my last pc went to the crapper. You are absolutely right about that one needing a flush....the water came out yellow, but since it just got over being ill (and all my water is outside in the freaking cold) I'm going to wait to flush on the next watering. It did get ph'd veg nutes (1/4 strength of mg AP, not the best one!) and calmag....The leaves have already relaxed a tad so I hope it does well!

:jointsmile: Bree

Thanks again to Stinky for helping me with the soil issues!

I don't have much to report, but I wanted to share a pic of the plant that was all light colored and severly praying....(which does in fact seem normal for that plant, foxy). She looks like she took steroids over the past week and has been working out! Obviously has sativa in her (blech) so let's all laugh our asses off as Bree tries to subdue this unruly bitch!
[attachment=o133637] Do you guys think I should top or FIM her???? Let me know.
Here is a shot of the gang....[attachment=o133638]I think maybe the only unsexed plant is a male, bummer (one in the smallest bin). He is displaying ph probs so i flushed him with what water I had left yesterday.


:jointsmile: Bree

i can't believe i missed this!

i'm watching now ;)

am i missing something or do your pots have no drainage? how's that workin out?

those look like heavy indicas

btw, what are you growing? i must have missed that part...

Nice looking plants, Bree...looking better. Nice and short. Lovin' them. :D

There are holes drilled into the bottoms, lots of holes.
those look like heavy indicas IA, except the one that I referred to in my last post. I Vanna'd it with my hand. It is in the largest dark green bin.

Scarlet, these are just bagseed. I was afraid of messing up good genetics with everything being relativley new.... I think I was right since I had that lag with fing up my ph. And I've had some heat probs....
I do have something good coming along once I decide to flip these into 12/12. I have been trying to decide how I'm going to lightproof the bottom of my area.....

Thanks Fog! I enjoyed your harvest in your log!

:jointsmile: Bree

I need to come to the sub forums more often I didnt even know you started another grow , lol. Your new setup is very good. Your gonna be happy with the yeild of that beast of a light. Hey bre a ? were at in walmart did you get that fan , I looked near the fan display but didnt see it lol (and since it is prolly the same exact "super" walmart that I shop at tell me where in the store it was lol).

Hey, Bree! Where ya been? Laying low...getting some sexy budshot photos ready for us? ;)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

Hey bre I had my girl look in walmart and she was able to find me one of those fans. Im gonna use it for a cfl very stealth veg/mother cabinet im working on.That little fan moves alot more air then pc fans do so ill be able to have a mini diy carbon scrubber on the veg box. Thanks for posting those pics and thanks stinky for mentioning how cheap and well they work.

You 2 girls rock lol.

Well, shew people...spring came here and I'm off! I've been soooo busy, I'll just update the norm for now. I'm going to post a series of pics here...of 5-7, 5-11, and of today. Please scroll over and discuss!


[attachment=o135869][attachment=o135874]
[attachment=o135870]
[attachment=o135871][attachment=o135872]

Some notes: changed to flower on Monday. Lightproofed and changed bulbs (for new ones) and watered with 1/2 Bloom nutes today. Also started germinating 2 Black Domina's and 4 Blueberry seeds...fingers crossed everything is on the up and up!

Happy Tokin' and Growin'
:jointsmile: Bree




Fog: Sorry aboot the delay...I'll be sure to pop into your thread next.
rootdoctor....I love these fans. I have two now and plan for one more for the bottom of the closet/ cabinet/ room...(don't know the exact exp. of area, lol). I'll also go and take a gander at those HUGE bitches you got....I know we started flowering within a week of eachother, Yea!


NOTE: after reviewing pics, I have decided this is just not enough! I'll share a few in the next post. See you very soon!!

Okay, here is also what I wanted to share, feeling the above was not thorough: [attachment=o135875][attachment=o135876][attachment=o135877]



Ps. Sorry about having to scroll for dates....this is why (sigh) I usually update sooner than this. I'm generally am in a discombobulated state, and it shows, tee hee!


You know the drill, :jointsmile: Bree

nice looking flowers, bree :):thumbsup:

Wow bree there comming out very lovely , yes we must smoke together! Nice seeds your sprouting Black Domina's and Blueberry verrrrrrry nice. Ive got hashberry and ak-48 seeds ready (there the seeds I chose to do; I also have k2,northern lights, and alien nlx) planned for my next grow , also a couple clones of the plants I got going now. I want to try that black domina , so grow it well lol.

And yes bree my plants are more like baby tree's now,its a forest of bud sites in my walk-in closet literally lol. Im gonna stop by your thread often so keep it updated and come to chat once in a while I try and stop in chat most times I log in; more people need ta join chat get some life into this site.

bree where did you disapear too lol. And how is your plants doing.

Here we are already at two weeks of flower. Things are going pretty good. I've got some kind of defs going on, so they got a little feeding today....I probably will give them a good feeding next water if they seem like they need more. I'll admit, I'm having a hard time keeping up with the nutes with these new lights....I've also included a pic of the new seedlings. The ones in the orange are black domina, and the ones in the purple are blueberry. They are all up, although one you can't see in the pic. I had perfect germination, yah! I went with just the shrimp/seaweed compost and perlite, hopefully it won't be too strong for them. They got thier first true water today so we'll see.

Any advice is surely appreciated!!

Happy Tokin' and Growin' Bree

looking very good :thumbsup:

Bree those girls sure are pretty , Since you said I havent been posting much I posted some today lol. Hopefully you get a female outta one those black dominas. Now its me hunting you down , where you at? Im bored , lol.
Talk to you soon .

That bathtub picture messed me up, lol. I'm looking at it thinking how the hell do you get a plant to look like that, thinking the picture was a side shot of one plant. :P

They look very nice!

Those chickas are going to go crazy in flowering with that light. Can't wait to see what kind of yield you get!

Great looking plants, Bree. I'm sure your new hybrids will do as well or better!Now I'll have to look back to see what new light you're all speaking of.

Shov

Ditto Scarlet Sky, how did I miss this? Beautiful job on the new set-up, Bree.
First class!

Cracky

J/K, I got some things to share, pics and my own personal observations... AND as always wanting some opionions. That Thing That Thing That thing, ....lol.... I'm jammin so bear with me.... Guys you know you betta watch out, some girls are only about that thing...
I've had some scumptious growth going on. I'll talk about the ladies by name now. Ava would be a really great girl but I couldn't keep er satisfied and she has perpetual purple stems and smaller leaves (esp. for an inidca). Bea is my pride and glory. This will be the lady that treats me right, no complaints. Oh Ceclila, I'm down on my knees! Darn sativa is a beautiful site to behold but such an unruly bitch. Her and Ava are root bound...nothing to do but battle the watering probelm at this point....? Right? I accidentally ripped up Cecelia's roots somewhat....She'll hermie fo sho, blech. IMO, It is a huge difference between 87000 lu and 19000 lu, let me tell you (ha ha big surprise). It is all new ball game for me.
I'll never grow them out this big again with this light....and if I should try I'd certainly use 5 gallon wastebaskets....

It's gonna be just another tequila sunrise for me..but the whole world's still gonna look the same...so I'm on...for any peeps out there that want to rub
my face in ther grow, lol.

Peek of the next crop coming up in next post...

Chris Issac...
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I knew somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love.
No, I don't want to fall in love. With you. With you.
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,
No, I want to fall in love.

Nobody loves no one.

EXECPT..................

Thank you, Dizzy1, cazro, Shovelhandle, and Markass....

and to R00tdoctor, I'm out and about tonight, give me a ring on my cell.

Happy Growin' and Tokin'
:jointsmile: Bree


New post to directly to follow....

Here is the sneak peek of the new crop, and Ill throw something else in there...hopefully


tear the roof of the sucker, tear the roof off the sucker...Are those the right words? In any case I'm jammin.

:jointsmile: Bree




Edit was seein what pic I missed....

hi bree! looking good!

I love you!

:jointsmile: Bree

breeeeeeeeeeeee, hello I wondered where you have been, lol. Its 5am , prolly to late for me to call you on your cell lol, havent logged in all day or I woulda called, so ring me or something today or ill ring you later in the day today. Your girls are looking great. Nice close up's. Talk to you soon.

Those seedlings look happy, and the adults look great!

Edit: Where's your Little Trees lol?

Lookin' great, Bree. Just cuz I don't post that much anymore doesn't mean I'm not still watching... I see you! :D


:wtf:


The Fog :rastasmoke:

Thanks Stinky, no trees yet, lol. Gas station was out of them.

Fog, thanks for coming in!

Tick, tock tick, tock, spending my days watching the clock. I'm getting impatient!


On to the update shall we? I've been doing an everyother schedule on feedings. They obviously have some salt build up, at least that is what I am surmising from the look of the leaves. The crummy news is my freakin ph meter isn't working properly! It is slow and acting strange. I don't know if it is the probe or the batteries. I did not let the probe dry out that I can tell so I'm at a loss. Expect me to frick up my ph because I'm back to the strips til I get that resolved, and I'm feeling lazy and pissed so don't expect that soon....I'm sure once I cool off this won't be that big of a deal, thanks for letting me vent.

Another note, my humidity has skyrocketed in the past few days due to weather. It is has been hovering around 50-60% blech.

Okay, Well I'll break it down by plant here. First I'll start with Cecilia (i've changed the spelling a few times in this log, this is my final decision on it). She's looking good, probably the best and has a very sweet skunky smell. I'm figuring it will take a zillion years to finish her. I feel like the wait will be worth it.

Here are some shots of Bea. Her smell is okay...very skunky kinda citrusy.


The one that says it is Ava is mislabeled.

And finally we have Ava. Although a problem plant, she smells a lot like my old Cee-cee, yum. Too bad she will probably produce the least for me.





Hope you enjoy the photos.

Thanks for looking,

Happy Growin' and Tokin'
:jointsmile: Bree



Oops, last pic is of sprouts, now on thier fourth and fifth nodes. They look a lot alike even though they are supposedly two different strains.
