Blue Apollo - Flowering Picture Log

Shows what I know....thanks for the info. I use LK to help stabilize ph mostly (rhizome mentioned to me he thought that about 5-7 mls/gal of LK were all a plant would use and the rest was pretty much wasted) so I don't go above 7 as a rule. But I do love my LK.....maybe i'll have to drop my H202 and use cannazyme from the start.

Here's my wonderful molasses story if you'd care to read.......interestingly my hydro guy tells me that he honestly doesn't think plants will use more than about 10ml/sweet per gallon and basically any oher carbs, etc, are....again....wasted. I cant tell you if it's true or not.....but I honestly haven't found him to be wrong yet.

what a lovely grow log, thank you ever so much for sharing it!

Day 29 (02/04/2008)

The problems with the molasses from last week are still evident. The plants have not consumed as much water and nutrients and they have not grown as much. I rinsed the roots again and changed them to a tub with 400ppm of nutrients and hydrogen peroxide to help clean them some more.

Day 29 - Part 2 (02/04/2008)

Did some trimming up the budsites caught below the canopy. Here are some pics of the dried buds from the trimming.

Also a pic of the AK-99 (she just preflowered so we culled rest) and one of the mother plant after it's pruning two weeks back.

Still getting some nice buds and crystals developing on those plants....looking very nice.

I'm from gainesville, and its nice to see some quality bud once in a while. Good job. :thumbsup:

Day 35 (02/10/2008)

The effects of the molasses debacle from a few weeks back is still more than evident. I believe I had a decent fungal infection in my reservoir, which allowed the roots to rot. They did not grow and swell as much as predicted the last week and a half, no doubt due to the essentially non-existent roots. The leaves have also begun to yellow and die earlier than expected because they have been the primary source of food (once again, because of the dead roots).

I removed a lot of the rotted roots to make space for the new root growth they've been putting forth, and they're getting a liberal dose of Hydroguard for the remainder of flowering to help remedy this situation and prevent it from coming back.

They are at 1600ppm now, with the GH 3-part, Cal-Mag, Liquid Karma, Sweet, Hydroguard, Hydroplex, and Koolbloom.

Day 35 - Part 3 (02/10/2008)

The first picture is the dead and rotten roots. A lot of the browning is from Liquid Karma and other nutrients, so they're not as bad as they look. You can see the new roots poking through... a breath of fresh air (or water) is on the way. Most of the dead roots pulled away easily and I'll get some pictures tomorrow of what they look like now.

The last pictures are of the new tub in flowering (one week in). There's also pictures of their roots and what roots should look like.

they are looking beautiful GG, let us know how she smokes
