Hiya folks, been a while til i posted a log, this will be a combo-log.
The new grow:
Sour Northern Lights x Nevilles Haze
4 lil girls in week 6,
1 in week 8
and 2 White Widows in week 6.
The 2 on the right are the WW
Q is the older SNLxNH
I will also highlight some Arjans Strawberry Haze that are almost done.
today, just 1 opening shot.
Woohoo, Rock has returned....:D Good to see you, i will follow this log for sure....:jointsmile:
a peek in the flower room.
these girls have suffered a variety of issues.
on hindsight, there were a couple distinct problems, which have been or are being resolved.
1- heat and ventilation. ventilation was not optimized and temps were regularly in the 80's for weeks.
2- nutes/soil. the soil used is "recycled" basically, some new but much old soil has been used. It is depleated of all nutes, and this was overlooked until a few weeks ago. once a full nute regimine was re-established, they responded very well.
all these issues slowed growth to a crawl over the past couple months, but thats all changing for the better.
Addidtionally, the clones are small, almost bonzai, but flowering. they will go another 3 weeks or so.
on to the current pix
the large one is ASH1, currently in week 21. and geting the axe this weekend.
the 3 smaller ones next to ASH1 are the clones of ASH1.
the other small one is a split clone from Galina. (blue russian)
all are in week 11, and likely looking at about another 3 wks.
they will have very small yeild, but that is due to malnutrition in veg.
how be?
Zeb, Shov, thanks and welcome to the new log.:jointsmile:
current plan is to let the 7 in veg get sizable there.
approx another 2-3 wks is planned, then 6-9 wks in flwr.
also looking to upgrade from 250 to 400 hps within the coming weeks.
WB Rock!!! Juicy ladies ya got there:greenthumb:

Hey Whiskey, thanks and welcome. this one should be a 'fun'-log.
some stuff finishing out, other new stuff starting, which i hope will be fun and productive.
I think I may have finally made enough mistakes over the past year+ that I might be able to replicate the outstanding results of 2 grows ago,,,or even better;)
Ive heard it said, and it may be true,,,
"an expert is someone who has already made all the possible mistakes in a given field"
by this point,,,that should be me:wtf:
not too much to mention except more growth.
starting week 8 for all but Q which is entering week 10.
W, (one of the widows) is much bigger than the rest and will likely go to flower room next weekend.
My goal for this grow is monsters, so, i'm veggin a lil longer than recomended.
Full battery of FF nutes being used with their feed schedule, strength reduced, and used every 2 days. also using LL at the rate of 1 teaspoon to 1 cup water. my drainage is extreme.
they appear happy:D
looking great rock.
glad to see that ur back on board.
back in march, Arjans Strawberry Haze sprouted.
8 wks veg
22 weeks flower
(the dollar is for size reference)
finally, the day of reckoning...
few more pics...
that bud mass is about 3 ft long.
the branches are very soft and flexible.:wtf:
the room is much different now,,,,
but stay tuned,,,
there are changes coming sooooooooon:cool:
A broccoli farmer you be! I second your quote from Weedy!!!!...lol damn good work. Far cry from weight, but stop by episode 3 and check out the snow sometime!
whiskeytango
the bigger Widow got a bigger bucket.
busy busy;)
Hey I just found this log! And what is that big mutated THING in those photos??

several issues plauged that poor girl thru the grow.
1-heat
2-lack of vent
3-lack of nutes in veg and early flwr
4-bleaching of a majority of leaves from LL used near full strength in veg
I am now convinced my soil was N depleated, due to recycling the old soil into my pile and not adding/replenishing enough new soil. Had I realized this, I woulda given more N nutes in veg, which I now do.
I am also now disposing of my 'used' soil.
the buds are weird
stringy, loose, light and airy.
but, very crystally and do the job:jointsmile:
im disapointed with the fragrance, not nearly as strawberry as when growing.:(
actual dry weigth around 30-40+/-, not too awful considering she almost didnt survive. i even almost considered culling her out about 1/2 way thru the grow.
I now know i was more to blame than she.
this seems typical of many male-female relationships:wtf:
i've been having trouble with my internet and loading pix.
i will update when that is resolved.:thumbsup:
cool I cant wate to see the pix.
I have had plants befor that grew like the 1 U just harvested.
see! the more a person grows there herb the more they learn about growing and the better there weeds starts turning out.
thats how it was for me. and each time I grew the herb I learnd a little more about what to do and not do. and I am on my 36-40th grow over the past 10 years and am still learning new growing tips all the time.
now my first time outdoor plants R looking dank as hell.:D
well heres to some great luck to u my brotha.:stoned:
nice garden :thumbsup:, I like your 'trellis', too :jointsmile:
Good for you to get an ounce! But that's the WEIRDEST looking plant I've ever seen. I agree with Stealth who agrees with me that my original statement stands.
Your latest stuff looks nice and green....and normal shaped.
Looking goooood rock! Zip is great from a freak!Quote:

2-following the complete FoxFarms feeding dosage chart, using EVERYTHING Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloom, and will use Cha-Ching at the end., starting from Veg to the end, BUT only 50-75% strength,,,BUT watering/feeding every 2 days.
*one recent observation: i recently cut back to feeding every other watering, instead of every watering, and they are a lil smaller. I am resuming low dosage every watering immediately.
I was controlling the water/feed PH, but am trying to see if i really need to as much.( plus i'm out of the "Ph UP":( )
3-every last bit of overflow is drained off each watering. There is no "puddles" for them to sit in. I used the tubes from the hydro and got more lil tubs and made a drainage system to do it.
4-summer is over. temp has not exceeded 78 during the day:thumbsup: and i'm prepping for improving temp control.
I have more pics to share,,, you aint seen nuttin yet aye:cool:
stay tuned:D
repotted all others and removed dome from W-clones after 2 weeks.
veg week 10 here, 2 weeks ago.
:D
catchin you all up quickly here;)
ok, this past weekend.
approx day 30 for Wanda, start of week 5 for her.
start of week 3 for U + T
start week 2 for Q,R,S,V.
just random group shots with some closeups on Wanda.
wow, first white widow,,,,,cant wait, looks like she may turn into a bush.
nearly 33 inches above soil in height,,,,so far:)
few more, went kinda pic-happy:jointsmile:
hey rock, nice work in there. you said something about them sitting in puddles. Ive noticed a good indication of a strong root base is the water in the tray being pulled back in to the roots of a period of 10 to 20 min. if the trays dont dry in that period, then yeah, definitely pull out the water.
congrats on resolving your issues....i hope to be there soon myself...lol
db:smokin:
last set.
youre now up2date.
yeah DB, i had some lil issue w that puddle-age a couple grows ago.
made gravity, drain system, and have all pots standing on pillars in lil drain tubs to keep them dry.
its sooooo "OCD-esk" LOL!
Umm....this IS the same Rock Steady as before right? You sure it's not some growing alien that slipped into his skin or something?? That looks like his writing......but I don't recognize those plants at ALL! :wtf:
hey rock they look real kick ass.:thumbsup:
keep them going.:thumbsup:
:S2: HAHAHA! Love ya Weedy!Quote:

its crazy, just crazy:D
hopefully, i've learned my lessons well, by now.;)
thanks Hydro, we're tryin:thumbsup:
Wanda (white widow), back left corner is doing great.
she's in week 5, after 8 of veg. and seems to be stopping vertical growth without a screen,,,at approx 3 ft, with 4 strong top arms, that i hope become fat colas.

Wanda moved up front so she can be removed without disturbing the others in a few weeks.:D
wanda startin wk6
the others are startin wks 3 and 4
dont ask me how this happened...i don't know:wtf:
.
I'm still blown away by your good work Rock.....those are seriously some happy, healthy plants. You've every right to be proud of them......they are a sign of a good grower.
Thanks Weedy!:D
hard to believe they got this nice with only a 250.
I owe it all to you dear.:thumbsup:
they are swarmin right now, so , they spread to a 5x5 area, now under a 400.
They are all at or approaching 3 ft, above the soil.
Wanda has flowers EVERYWHERE, and the others look like they want to compete:D
happy? yeah;)
Its gonna be a White Widow Christmas:woohoo:
That's a beautiful jungle you've got growing there, Rock!!
Very impressive indeed :)
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Doobster:D
ok, one last addition to the setup.
its obvious a screen will be nessessary for the SNLxNH
found this cool plastic fencing, thin, but strong, 1 inch holes, and i can customize with a scissor.:thumbsup:
i measured-
the space is officially 41x48 with approx 36 inch screen ceiling.
i was messing w the cam settings to compensate for the new light.
some colors are a lil psychedelic, its just the camera, plants are a beautiful deep green.
bring on the pix:cool:
couldnt resist some close ups.
the trichs are everywhere, sticky, and smell great on the fingers with just a light touch to a leaf.
gave me shivvers, cant wait, this is gonna be great.
she's startin wk6, according to what i read, 8-10 is all she should need.:D
