Still a runt, but its showing signs of catching up

I made the mistake of buying a gallon of EJ Grow, and apparently they dont sell gallons very often, because this one must have been bottled in the 70's considering how much its dried out. I can hardly get it out of the bottle with a long handled spoon.. its the consistancy of poo...

Anyhow, in dealing with this, i accidentally dosed my plants with too much N and that set them back about a week due to leaf burn :(

This is right after they recovered from the burn, mostly new foilage, as i pruned away all the yellow and curled leaves...

Another update, 4 days into flowering, and WTF!??!

They jumped probably 8 inches in the past week, biggest jump i have ever witnessed indoors.. Gonna have to raise my lights a LOT more this time around..

I am also going to start pruning fan leaves like madness once the flowers kick into full gear... the light penetration is horrible..

nice work :jointsmile: cant wait to see the buds :hippy:

I know its been a while since the past few updates, and this round may indeed be my last logged run on here. I'm just too incredibly busy to get on here daily to post photos lately :(

Anyways, thanks to all who are following along so far, im always happy to help people out and answer questions, give advice, ect..

Now on to the plants... :D

The kush has exceeded every other strain in terms of height, bushiness, and stalk size.. The Erkle is trying to keep up, but between those two strains, they have suffocated the tiny random strains that are in the middle.. :lol:

They are 14 days into flowering now, and really starting to look tasty! I'm really looking forward to comparing yeilds when this is over.. I started with an extra bag of soil, which contributed to the larger plants. I'm also pruning a LOT more of the excess fan leaves this time.. The only other difference is the addition of a little EJ Grow with every other watering- hopefully this will fix the early yellowing i had last time during flowering..

Right now they are getting full strength EJ Flower, with half strength Catalyst, a dash of Meta K, and a dash of EJ Grow every other watering. In addition, i'm flushing with plain water in between each feeding, plus allowing a day of dry time for them..

watering schedule looks like this, day by day:

- feed - dry - plain water - dry - feed - dry - plain water+Grow - dry - feed - dry -

Oh and i have transplanted my clones to dirt containers now.. had some bugs in the roots, but neemed and isolated and we will see how they do..

Thanks for following along !

Hey man,

I'm still watching and appreciating this wonderful Soil Bed grow.

Thanks for putting in the effort you can on updating us!

Keep up the stellar work my friend and i hope you can work around your canopy penetration problem!

Might I suggest reading into supercropping.

Hasta luego amigo,

SMG

Hey thats cool, glad to see someones following along.. :jointsmile:

was starting to think i was logging this for my own records, and thats easier for me to do on paper rather than digital, but its entertaining for me as long as others are benefiting from my effort.. haha :rastasmoke:

I have done supercropping in the past, with outdoor actually, and it can have good results, but right now ive got clones already nearly rootbound for my next round (pics coming soon) so i dont really have the extra month or so it would take to properly supercrop...

My alternative is to go medevial on the lower branches and really open things up for more light and airflow to swell the lows, and keep away mold.

I'm going to get in there this weekend once my light comes on.. i'll have a pics update probably tomorrow.

Hey man, keep them updates coming, this batch has been looking awesome! You'll have had 2 harvests by the time I even get my 1 pathetic outdoor. All the more reason to take mother nature out of the equation!

Yeah, playing god is fun with indoor. :D

This will be quick, but heres a few bud porn pics from yesterday before my light was lit... I cant stop salivating every time i look in my closet.. this has got to be my prize harvest so far..

You can see a little hair on one of the pics... stupid kitty... The problem is much less severe than last round though, the new filter on my intake is doing its job. :jointsmile:

Also, no yellowing leaves as of yet either.. My main problem is keeping branches from snapping under the weight for the next month. :stoned:

Thanks to everyone reading... feel free to ask Q's about any step of my method if you're interested in building your own 1k closet.. Also, sorry if im posting too many pictures and slowing down the loading on this thread..
