My Biggest Grow yet...

Hey guys,

I have not written in a while due to some unforseen issues. Sometimes you can grow toooo well. Jillybean can only veg for two weeks. 3 weeks and they are enormous. This strain would do excellently in a greenhouse or TREES of GREEN growing method where vertical height is not limited.

THE GOOD: It grows fast, it has lots of cola slots, Does not need topping, and will finish in 7 weeks with bushmaster. PH issues and jacked up water source...does not matter. This plant has some tolerance to fluctuations.

The bad of this strain, even with bushmaster applications, it stretches like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it grows very fast...will need to think out canopy and cut off fan leaves (i know, don't say it...matter of opinion)...but, in my containers, they are think, I have too.

Interesting that you brought up fan leaves being trimmed. I am doing the same inside my tent to allow light to the bottom of the plant, just removing the big shade givers :D

wow...I was high when I posted last night. its even better when you try to read it again in the morning. LMAO! What was I thinking?

So, I went back through my old posts. Man have I come a long way from popping seeds of citral. Every grow of mine has been bigger and better than the last. And, I am wondering to myself...How can I top my current grow. The answer is...I can't top the grow...But, I can try and make one of the best strains on earth.

SO with that being said...I am going to be running a genetics grow room. I will be searching for a Male Jilly bean to cross with my Afghani seeds that were gifted to me.

This will be a blast. Are you guys in? If this is successful, I will send some seeds out.

ummm, let me think about it for a second, umm HELL YES!!!

-shake

I'm in! :D

you know I'm there :thumbsup:

Awesome idea martyr... Im down for sure.

Your rooms look great dude. You will have to be crawling down the middle aisle to check the back plants soon! How do the jilly beans smell?

Id like to see you grow in a field under the ultimate HPS. I love seeing our favorite herb basking in nature. Its definitely the most beautiful plant on Earth in my oppinion.

Funny enough the smell of Jillybean depends on which of the 2 phenoms you happen to be smelling. The taller and less compact variety is more of an Orange peel and diesel fuel smell. It's quite sexy.

the 2nd phenotype smell is hard to pin. Its kinda citrusy, with a coreander (an almost purple smell) feel to it. the buds are very dense already. Cant wait to add some carbs soon

I would love to handle a 10 acre grow. That would be ideal...all greenhouse and with light deprivation techniques in effect. Remember...originally I was an outdoor guerilla farmer. This indoor stuff if far more intense...and makes you live a little on the edge. But, someday sir...I will be posting pictures of acres of hemp and cannabis plants being grown on a farm owned by MARTYR!

Count me in, always looking for something new/CA local flavor. Cant wait to see what name you give it. Keep up the good works.

Thats my dream martyr... to have a farm in cali.


Ahh what a life that would be.

Well guys. Here's the update

In container #1 I am starting week#5 of flower.
In container #2 I am starting week#4 of flower.
In container #3 I am starting week#3 of flower.

They are all looking excellent, and my Jillybean is already starting to show their color change in container #1...Leave it to a heavy dose of bushmaster being applied for over a week to accomplish this so early. I might be completely finished at week #7 for this strain. It all depends on the color at this point. Especially with the market flooded with OUTDOOR CRAP, I want to make sure I have nothing but perfect bag appeal product...covered in trichcomes with gorgeous red and purple coloring.

This Cindy 99 actually looks fantastic. I was able to grow just my Crown tops on these with no lower growth at all...This will be a heavy yielder when its done. These are the last pics I loaded.

FYI...I love growing. I love everything about it, especially the patients I get to help. I hate this new industry thats popping up. Commercial business models in this industry do not work. It sacrifices quality and personal integrity for profit, and thats not why I am here. Please continue to spread the love and passion for our art...but, be careful who we are empowering with this knowledge, as they are using it for greed and unethical endeavors.:hippy:

Well put!!! :clap:

Wow... Great Thread Marty, Thanks for Sharing...

If it's OK I will pull up a chair...

I popped some Jilly Beans a few weeks ago and they look wonderful...

Cool temps for color in Flower will not be a problem here...

What's that, a couple hundred grand? You're gonna make BANK! :thumbsup:
But like you said, it's not about just making money, it's about helping people who need it.

After payroll, rent, nutes, cost, etc....Still haven't covered costs yet. Not until the 3rd grow...Then I will be profitable...but, not by much. i can make a living though.

Looking great Martyr.

Cant wait to see them in a few weeks... going to look delicious.

O come on Marty ...Your making bank. If you don't something is wrong. How can you not turn a profit with that kind of grow? Trust me I know there are expenses involved. Heck I am just impressed with your grows!!! Awesome job.

Actually, in a true business model, there is no profit until the original investment is paid back. And, I am only showing you 3 containers. I have 12 flower, one veg, and one nursery. Yes, I am expecting 10-15 pounds per container. The money is there...but, we already dropped half a million on buildout, security, etc. I really don't want to talk figures in this as it just makes certain government folks a bit mad...and motivated. I must be getting paranoid in my old age (turned 30 this week...yeah yeah...I'm young yadda yadda). I honestly never thought I would live this long.

marty you are a inspiration to me. If there is one person that i look up to in the marijuana growing industry, its you. Everytime i see one of your huge grows its plants an idea in the back of my head that will never go away. hahaha

just a quick question with your bushmaster. how do you like to apply it.


Do you run it through the drippers, or do you foliar feed. The stuff is amazing but im just trying to find the safest way to apply it to my hydroponic plants. :thumbsup:

who really gives a fuck about making millions, your a full time pot farmer.


to some people that alone is considered a life of satisfation, regardless of the money.

I would take that as a full time job anyday!! :weedpoke:

Thats what I plan on doing one day... Just need a way to get to cali.

One day!!

GToD head west young man, head west

Great job Marty, can't wait to see your piles and piles of buds!! :)

Is there a thread on how you're doing this? I'd like the particulars. Never seen a large indoor hydro grow before; soil yes, not hydro.

Question Marty, what size pump do you use to flood each tray? I had the similar setup (smaller in size 4x4 tray) with 20 plants with hydroton surrounded the cubes. work great but when I tried without hydroton I got bad results with loosing majority of the plants. I believe I messed up by not flooding at least 3/4 of the tray. Any feed back would be appreciated. Bud out

Looking like yor hands are full.

keep us posted.

So I have tried foliar feeding with bushmaster and it does not work well. I apply to the res...never flush it out. apply 30 ml per 50 gallon res. This way it stops verticle growth and stacks the buds on without damaging the growth. It is very strain specific though...so be careful! Also raise the lights up before applying.

Also, I am using ebb & flow in this grow...Normally applied through drip lines when growing in residential though.

The shitty fact is that I am not full time...yet. Maybe in the next year I might. I do hold a nice kushy corporate day job. It makes me miserable though...and this is my saving grace. It makes me feel like I'mmaking up for being a corporate stooge...It keeps the yin and yang in balance :thumbsup:

To answer your question...No. Giving the particulars of a commercial grow operation violates the terms and conditions of this site. Also, I am not endorsing that anyone grow like this. I do not wish bad karma on myself by endorsing others grow in this same manner. That would be irresponsible of me. This is a shit ton of work, not easy, and should require 2 full time growers and 1 genetics guy.

I might someday release the design of one container. After I see yield and quality coming out of these rooms. I am still dialing everything in, and this is my first grow here.

One day!!

My advice...grow great bud at home. Grow outdoors during the summer. Grow great indoor during the off season. Make some money...and then put together bigger operations with every grow. Always have a grow going...and an expansion in progress.

Tiny...you know what I am talking about!

I use the big pond pumps from Home Depot...Biggest ones they sell. I set my sentinel to water every 4 hours...in 15 minute intervals. Works fantastic...as you can see!

BTW, I clipped a little nug...dried it out...its sitting in a jar. Cant wait to smoke it. Smells like an Orange orgasm.

Yup I know what you mean until you run out of room lol. Looking at maybe buying 35+ acres in CO so the room part might be solved hehe.

The Future is in your own strains...and indoor farming...or even greenhouse (when done right with light derprevation techniques in full force). 30 ACRES IN cOLORADO IS SCARY....especially with all the law changes going on out there.

LOL Marty I didnt mean grow with the 30 acres. I would have a building of some sort for that.

It would be a waste not to use every square meter available. :D

Marty:

When you are running Bush Master, what's your PH typically at?? Do you just run RO water and Bush Master or do you put in some Cal Mag also?

This is my first grow. Using aeroponics, with advanced nutrients. I'm in week 1 of flowereing faze and I have a 31 gallon rez filled with 7 Gallons of distilled water, I used Sensi Bloom A,B 4 ML per gallon and added Bud Factor X 0-0-1 2 Ml per gallon, My p.h keeps shooting up to 6.3 6.5 I used advanced nutrients ph down and it wont budge. What am I doing wrong? Please help. BTW plants look healthy. no

PH is at about 5.8 and hit with bushmaster and calmag. Calmag is a staple for me and I am never without it.
