#1 has been thriving quite well since being introduced to the flood tray and #3 is running a lil slow but forward momentum is still being seen. #2 I believe will be removed this weekend as still no signs of anytype of new growth .... I even tryed foliar with PH'd water and ST and nothing so I gave it till this weekend. Pics on Sunday....... time to relax a lil :jointsmile:
starting week 3 of veg. still running GH 3-part at 5/5/5 (ml per gal) and 1 drp ST per gal. Flood is 5 times a day at 15 mins each. 400w MH running 18/6. PH 5.3-5.8
Ok gave up on #2 and pulled it this morning. Oddly enough there was absolutely no green growth but it was rooted quite well. Rearragned the other 2 to use space in tray to its best advantage. pics below of the 3 minutes before pulling #2.
Chopped down the grow inside the tent this morning also and popped in a couple pics of hanging.
nice bushes you chopped tiny!
the others look like they are gonna be just fine.
-shake
all is well in the land of hydro!!!
tomorrow we will fim #1 will put up a pic or 2
FiM went well on #1 and here are the pics as promised :thumbsup:
starting week 4 of veg today (god I hate it when clones get slowed down /sigh) Did drain and fill of rez and boosted Grow by 1ml extra per gal. planning on taking clones on Wedensday and starting flower next Sunday. will post pics again this week.
change in plans, we took 6 clones last night (monday) so they will have time to rest and recoup before seeing the HPS bulb and 12/12 this Sunday.
I had no idea that you could store clones in the fridge cool thanks you. you learn something new every day.:thumbsup:
clones are doing SO much better this time it is unreal. Guess i learned my leason with humidity. same room, tray, water, temp and humidity at 50% no dome and they are doing great. the donors inside the cab are doing very well as well. will post pics of both in next day or 2. Med time Back is killin me :(
ok the first pic is no doubt our 2 surviving clones growing up to adulthood. This is week 1 of flower so MH bulb has been relocated to the tent where that grow will begining in about a week, or just a lil under, light timer is now set 12/12, flooding 4 times a day only during daylight hours and nute mix is now 5/2.5/10 (ml per gal Micro/Grow/Bloom) with NO ST during flower.
Other 3 pics are 6 day old clones that the 2 survivors were kind enough to donate for the up coming tent grow I mentioned. The 6 clones just started turning a lil yellow so their water is now 2.5/2.5/2.5 with 1dpg of ST. 2 70w cfl's 24/7
Alright, I love to see a plan come together. Looking good.
We just took clones and need to take 50 more but no where to put them. so I will put them in the fridge just to see how long they can go.
ok week 2 of flower with 6 more to go!
everything is looking nice tiny. keep up the good work!

Way to go. We are just about on the same day. I will get a camera to get some shots, sent mine to the shop.
Are they alittle droopy ? The pic's kind of dark. Or just camera shy ?
There 12 hours had just ended and took pic with HPS off .... cant see crap in a pic with it on. will try and get a better view for ya :thumbsup:
sorry for delay but was trying to come up with good item to block the HPS brightness for a decent pic or 2, think I have it figured out and will try tomorrow.
ok I suck at keeping a log up to date and must apologize, after work and family and such just cant find the time lol :jointsmile:
Anyways here are some up to date pics starting flower week 6 of 8 so this is last week coming up running 100% strength on the nutes.
Hey Tiny,
Looking mighty nice sir. Mighty nice indeed. Are you having any heat issues in your setup? Just curious!
nope, no heat issuses in either the tent or Cab. The cab runs a lil cooler as the interior space is smaller than the tent and they both are running same exhaust fan (12v about the size of a computer case fan), I need to get a larger one in the tent before switching to DWC instead of E&F. Both 400w lamps are vented directly outside by way of a dryer vent I mounted in the exterior wall. Summer time I do have to leave door to room open and run a box fan blowing AC air into the room but this time of year I can control it just by opening and closing of room door.
I'm dreaming of a green xmas.
this grow here is what we will be smoking for xmas so I know mine gonna be green. Btw keep in mind that mass of wonderfulness is only 2 plants lol :cool:
What are the dimensions of your two plants...I am quite impressed with the pictures. I can't wait to see the final product.
And, BTW...I think everyone should be required to show a picture of the plants before they cut them...and after they are dried and cured. There really is not much info (or pictures) after a grow has hit week 8. I think TINY, LOC, and MARTYR should change this with our forums. Agreed gentlemen?
I think people really grow great...where the fuck up is in drying and curing (because there really isn't much info out there). I think we should share what we find to be successful (like water curing, superfan drying, etc.)
Word!
I'll measure them either tonite or tommorow and the sharing of life afetr harvest sounds like a plan.
I did it a long time ago. Coming close so now is the time.
I think alot of peeps don't end up with the weight it looked like wet. It always looks like alot more wet. Them maybe don't want to say it was not that much or just tooooo stoned to post or smoked it all up before pic's. LOL
Yeah...dried weight is 1/3rd to 1/6th of the original cut weight.
But, I don't even touch my scale until they are ready to cure...and then I still measure every week...cause moisture is drawn out in my cure process...and more weight is lost.
I would love to see your methods Master LOC!!!!! Would improve my methods and help some folks out on here for sure. :thumbsup::jointsmile:
we do basic hang for a week and into the jar it goes method here but this grows time was off a lil so gonna have to break out the DIY dryer I built to speed the process up on some of it, so in a nutshell we got a 2 for 1 sale going on lol :jointsmile:
Hey Loc and Marty could u guys plz take a look at my Stupid DWC post, I put some pics up and would like to know if she seems to be about on the correct time table. I have no clue wtf I'm doing in DWC lol :wtf:
top of tallest bud seems to be about 27" and bottom of light is about 38" both of these measurements start at the top of the tray which is basically even with the top of the 6' RW blocks that they are sitting in. The inside W and D is 36" by 23" respectively and it is full lol. I have 2 pieces of string at seperate heights going across the front area where the doors are to hold the dam things in there when I open the door :D I also use a transmission funnel from an auto parts store to refill and add water to res because I cant get to it to pour anything in!! Good thing I'm an auto mechanic lol /puff puff pass your up :jointsmile:
last couple days with half strength nutes then plain water week .... almost there :jointsmile:
so I was reading up on the MEDI-BUD strain. It seems very "haze" like in origin. Be very careful not to cut these too early. With all Haze plants I like to let them go for 10-12 weeks (depending on the pheno). Or when outdoor...Mid to late October.
They look fantastic...and I can't microscope them to give you my honest opinion. But, please make sure these are fully done before you cut...Otherwise they are light, airy...and not great for smoking out of the bong...Great for Joint and Blunt only. :D
we been playing with this strain for over a year now and think we found the sweet spot at 8 weeks flower but ty for the research and if I can get a lil ahead on bud then maybe I can try to stretch a next run a couple more to compare :D
good lord dude... That one cola in the middle looks like a monster! great work!
you should take a pic with something in it for scale!
Sadly I wont be having a green xmas :(
Just now popping my fem Blue Mystic beans... Had to wait for my strawberry male to finish and give me pollen before i started my girls... Plus have to buy xmas gifts for the family and dont really have extra to buy some meds...
and..did I say they look fantastic...With the next run you definitely should give the girls an extra two weeks...You will thank me for it.
I am in the same boat with my current grow of Blue Dream...Enough haze in there to make me have to go an extra 2-4 weeks past the normal 8 week cycles I get from my Green Crack...and other sativas!
Great looking grow tiny! :thumbsup:
well my ballast just shit the bed and with 3 days left I get to finish by swapping 1 ballast between 2 grows both in flower running 12/12 opposite each other lol. Any good affordable places for a 400w ballast? hehe
damn that sucks dude... I feel for you. My previous grow I had to cut a week early because one of the power supplies in my LED blew and it took almost two weeks for them to ship me another. :(
tiny...that blows dude.
This is why I always keep enough cash on hand to cover the unexpected. Blowing a ballast is totally random too. I have yet to see that magic happen. Maybe its time to go with a digital ballast this time. They are rated with a longer life than a standard ballast. Just a thought.
Let us know how the girls end up...since you are switching ballasts back and forth.
Rebuild it that's what I do.
Or
Discount Hydroponics - Ballasts and Lighting Parts
Never done me wrong and the price on 400 electronic looks good.
Oh, hey guy's I just got back from a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert.
If you every get a chance the show is unreal. Fire in 3 dif colors, Lasers, Snow I shit you not. The most awsome stage you ever saw. A must and don't forget your meds.
Marty it was a digital ballast by Galaxy. I opened the case this morning and everything is sealed in that black resin crap from the factory but it smells burnt to hell. My other ballast is a Digital Greenhouse ballast and I like this one better, it atleast has a cooling fan lol. swapping ballast back and forth for few days wont be to bad just glad it happened at the end :wtf:
That Nextgen ballast looks like it might give the Lumetek a run for it's money :thumbsup:
The only real drawback to electronic is not being able to rebuild.
I know it's a pain switching but it's a pain of love. That makes it worth it.
Hope you get a new one soon.
Nextgen 400w ordered last night. $150 including shipping. 5 year warranty same as Lumetek and specs look real good too!! :thumbsup:
