New and Improved: Featuring Sour Northern Lights x Nevilles Haze

No clear numbers but going off the grow schedule and the info I found there I would estimate myself to be at about 900-1000ppm total.

I am not using the canna coco A/B since it was pretty high in nitrogen and all I really wanted was the PK since I got a little nitrogen from the calmag.

My next set will be in Hydro and I'll try upping the PPM late in flowering then.

What do you recommend for nutrient strength for most of flowering on this strain?

Well I certainly can't speak for coco......only for hydro but they ARE a cross......even though they are their own strain so I took mine to 1950 (@ 700 conversion) BUT I use Cal Mag all the way through since my hydro man insists they need CalMag through bloom.....and he runs it with 50/50. I tweak it just a bt so that my CM is probably about a third of the total, half being bloom nutes and enhancers and the rest is Liquid Karma and Sweet.

Really? 50/50 seems a bit on the high end even for hydro. Do you use RO water or tap? The reason I am using calmag with my current grow is because Coco will leach Calcium; creating deficiencies within the plant. I use Calmag in my tapwater just to be extra cautious.



Oh and great news.. my rooted clones have gone from 3 confirmed to 5 confirmed with more on the way. I suspect I may have 7 rooted clones by december 5th and all of them rooted by December 8th maybe! Well not all of them but the ones that survived anyway.

YAY!

Also I moved some hydrotron pebbles out of the way where some pots were and the roots are growing like mad!!! They seem to be loving this hydro setup!

Sounds high to me to but the man hasn't steered me wrong yet so I do what I'm told. I asked him once about cutting out CM in bloom and he was VERY strong on no....keep using it all through the grow.

Good to hear your kids are growing some feet. :thumbsup:

3 more little clones showed their tiny roots, giving me 8 confirmed rooted clones.. hopefully they'll be a bit bigger today. Unfortunately my new batch of hydrotron isn't done. Hell it isn't even washed. I was too tired to take it outside and give it a good hour long rinse with the gardening hose. I'll try to get that done today and at least get it soaking.

I left my clone tray on the warming pad and I really hope they don't dry out. they were slightly dryer than I would've liked this morning and meant to mist the RR's before I left the house but I forgot.

I may try to duck out of here early just to check on them/make sure they live.

We'll see.

I watered all my plants yesterday and two of them look like they need only about 2 more weeks. 2 more look like they need about 3 weeks.. and the rest look like they might need another month to finish. Which is unfortunate because I was wanting to make use of that HPS immediatley. Looks like I'll have to flower my clones under my 400 watt light. Maybe I'll at least get a hortilux for it.


Going to be a busy bee tonight

On my to do list

• Wash hydrotron/presoak it
• Mist clones
• Transplant SNLxNH mom and water/feed
• Feed my WW and PP mom's
• Feed my MK mom with nute solution high in PK and a bit of Boost (canna version of sweet). Going to top her soon and try to make a clone. I really don't like the way she's coming out.. very lanky.. and I'd almost prefer to start over.
• Clean/organize the Grow room (sweep, vacuum, remove trash)
• Organize 400 watt Area (secure leach trays, lift ducting, Lay some panda film on the floor, etc etc).

I'm sure there is more I need to do but that's a start. Should be about 2-3 hours worth of work right there alone :(

X-Crispi got some lanky MK's as well.....I've only gotten one poor one out of two batches of feminized seeds (vendor seeds) but the lanky one we had sucked royally and we got rid of it.

Admittingly I feel the lankiness is my fault. I didn't train it.. I had inadequate lighting... it was too far from the lighting and I'm sure other things. I tried to LST it about 2 weeks back and bent the stem (snapped but didn't break) and I just let it heal.. I got some side shoots but they aren't that great either. My best bet is to top it once I get all these other clones out of the way. I will probably take some MK cuttings in another week or so and try to make a new mom out of it.

Got home a bit early and ran up to check on the clones. I have 5 additional clones that are definitely rooting.. so that gives me a total of 9 clones that have made it so far.

I haven't misted them yet but will in a few hours when the flowering area has it's lights come on.

PH rose in my resevoir from 5.6 this morning to 6.0, So it appears that it jumps a little under half a point every 8-9 hours. I may start setting the resevoir to 5.5 from now on just to give me that LITTLE bit of extra coverage. Should be good for 1-2 more hours. Eventually I'll be building an automatic PH dosing system.

Guess I'll start rinsing out the hydrotron now

Washed the hydrotron and have rinsed/ph'd it twice. I am trying to get it in PH water at least 8 times before I put plants in them. I think they'll be done soaking tomorrow around this time or earlier.

My clones are all rooting this time and I'm very happy so far.

I transplanted my SNLxNH mother as she was looking very unhappy. Pulling her out of the pot revealed rootbound conditions and atrophied roots against the walls of the pot. She was not happy at all. She should enjoy her new and last home.. a 3 gallon pot.

I will probably flower her when it looks like she's going to be getting rootbound and take a clone to turn into a mother.

Tomorrow or Sunday I am going to be taking a bunch of cuttings. I'm aiming for 30 cuttings or so.

Watered all my mother plants. The WW and Powerplant look fantastic!! but the Master Kush looks lanky and week. As soon as I get all these clones out of the tray I'm going to top it and take 1-2 more cuttings in an attempt to make a new mom and keeping it short and bushy this time.

Found out I can squeeze 7 pots into those leach trays which will be nice for my SOG setup.

I think I'll be able to chop down 2-3 of the plants in about 2 weeks. I couldn't get a loupe but I've been using my radioshack scope and I can't hold it very steady but it appears I'm about 100% cloudy right now with the very occassional amber (1 out of 100 trichs).

These plants smell so tasty.. sweet and sour. Almost like some flavor of bubblegum.

Hoping to have more pics Sunday or Monday.

Since It's a strain you haven't tried before I suggest looking at trichs but also doing some test runs along the grow to see where you like your weed to be when finished.
Snipping a bit of a bud will also make it ALOT easier to look at with your scope.
