I went for a look at the ladies this morning and found out that they've started an second internode flowering on the buds. This is something I really didn't expected cause of the slight PH problems in the soil. So tonight when watering the plants I'll add some more nutrients too them with an EC of 1.5.
I'll post some pictures tonight.
Yer, good info yet again...
I will employ the technique of submerging the pots into a reservoir with the right volme which will contain the nutrient mix and pH balanced water and try and see where i can improve productivity. I don't know anything about watering from below but I will try it and see how these ladies respond to it.
It looks like i should completely saturate the soil then leave it for 3 days, i hope i am reading your post right. Then on the 3rd day do a soil test and see how well the soil has drained. I will wet them up and use a soil moisture meter to measure their drinking rate, kind of thing.
That nug looks really sticky, I got some just like it lol...
The last PPP crop we grew didn't want to stop growing. All the way to the final day it was still growing with noticible signs on a daily basis. look forward to viewing the pics
When giving water from below you have too fill the reservoir with about an inch of water. they've to be able too take up the water in 1.5 hours. When giving water from above you don't have to completly saturate the soil, just give enough for 3 days, stick your vinger in the soil and if it's completely dry in 3 days you gave enough water. If it's still wet give less water, you don't want root rot just because you gave too much.
If you have a moisture meter try too give water untill you reach 80%.
Yeah, the buds are coming along fairly nice. It's not gonna be the yield I expected though. Aslong as the quality is good I'm satisfied. After this I'm going back too scrogging because of the better yields.
update
I stoppped feeding the plant now for a couple of days. They yellowing of the leaves go in a very rapid tempo, cause of the lack of nutrients in teh soil and water.
Those look great. What a great yield on those girls.
Budsites everywhere.
Yields like this are relativly easy too get. Just get your climate in order, use GOOD soil (plagron soil mixtures), use decent lighting (HPS) and a good nutrient mix specially developed for cannabis plants (I use canna or Plagron). o yeah and one more...
don't fuck around too much with all kinds of additives that should do wonders too your plants. In the end there are only a few additives that really garantee a bigger yeild. And those are:
Mycorhizza fungi spores (symbiot) i.e AN pirahna
Bacterial mix (symbiot and bac culture) i.e. AN Voodoo Juice
PK-13/14
Enzymes
CO²
What lots of people don't understand is that when you don't have a decent basic setup (climate, lights an stuff) you can use all the additives in the world but you'll never have a good yield.
Forgot too add this..
When I cut them on sunday they had 2 weeks of VEG and 8 weeks of bloom (From clone that is)
Not terrible.. but I've had way better.
The mistake I made was Vegging a week too short. I thought that they would have a bit more grow in them length wise.
you did a good job, very good job. shit i only vegged for a week on my white russian.
I'm not really satisfied with the predited yield. like I said.. I did better
yes i can feel ya on that one, but we do learn from our mistakes. i vegged my big bud for 4 weeks and she was over 6ft tall, bent.
I've had that aswell on a NLX grow. I Vegged them for 2 weeks and they were over a meter tall. It's not that big a problem on soil but In hydro setup I've got the nutrient/water mix underneath the hydro trays. has too bent them aswell
Here's the pic..
underneath the hydro trays there is a large rectangal bucket that fits underneath with the nutriets/water mix in there. I used a pump too give 3 dripping sessions of 5 minutes per 24 hours. Worked like a charm and gave good yields. Only thing is, I like soil mroe because of the experimenting with bacteria and what nature provides.
thats a nice set up there. i myself am starting to like soil growing, because of all the water being lifted to the attic. 10 gallons a week was getting a bit tiring
I know...
Belieeeeve me, I KNOW!
Very good yeild! I am soon to follow suit.
Another 10days or so and the power plant will be disassembled. will post some pics 2m.
Has been a great strain to work with and will do so again. In fact 14 cuttings have already been put to veg to land straight in the shadow of their forebarers.
Post some curing pics to 'B'?
Another nice budshot 2 days before harvest
is the leaf discoloration normal?
When I stopped feeding, the yellowing of the leaves went really fast cause of the lack of nutrients.
wicked gro britewire.very imformative bro i really enjoyed reading this thread.top job.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: The Postman.
Was wondering what the heat is like in your room without the fan on. Do you run it full power the whole photoperiod? The reason I ask is because air cooled seems are a great idea but when the fans off how hot do the bulbs/apparatus e.t.c e.t.c get. Is it a neccesity to have air cooled systems cooled.
Yeah sure... else the bulbs would get too got inside that glass tube. But why would I want too shut te fan off?
PS. it's not sucking air from outside (thru the tubes) in, but the other way around.
I know your extracting out the closet not in. I asked because say for example you couldn't use a fan for whatever reason but you still wanted to grow with the same lights. If your saying the that the fan is crucial to the setup for cool tubes then that's worth noting for future reference.
It wouldn't be possible too use the lights without airflow in it because of the isolation value of the tubes in a static condition. But the fittings are re-useable, when removing the glass tubes you can fit an hood too the fittings.
I too have drawn the ppp grow to an end. It was a little premature, but the person with more share-status in the venture decided that some funds should be released from the crop to support the next yeild.
We have struggled to get just 25oz off of 13 power plants. Some plants (about 3 or 4) were herms bearing seed on some of the lower branches. There is about 2-3oz of seeded bud still on the drying rack. The rest is good quality and seedless.
I took a head/top to smoke and it is a pleasant toke. No harshness, clear high, nice aroma and everything one might expect from a quality yeild.
Britewire give us some more info about the impressions you have gained from your ppp experience!!!
so what did ya end up yieling? i love this grow, makes me wonder if i should change the strain i was going to go with for my grow. 6 plants hydro with 2 250 watters. just wondering where ya got these pp seeds and were they feminized? thanjks
Bout 500 grams of quality pp dry. They weren't from seed, they were from clone. I think the seeds of the mother were from nirvana, but I'm not sure.
Just get a good soil and some good organic fertilisers (i.e. batguano) and you'll be fine, really.
Hello Britewire :) I haven't been on an awful lot just lately, but I've just seen those last pics you posted.
First rate job love, very very proffesional :)
love mand xxx :)
