Shov's Spring 2010 Grow

Two week old seedlings
Back Row (6) SSH x BB
Front Row (5) Neville's Haze, far right (1) BG x BB

http://boards.cannabis.com/attachmen...1&d=1262804509

I just transplanted these and I have a little shock in the top right plant, probably temp related, too cool. I have to keep an eye on that this time of the year. Eventually I'll run a 400 Watt MH and that will keep it warmer during the 16 hr lights on and a little after. Otherwise a space heater is run during the off hours.

I haven't decided how I'm going to continue this grow in regards to veg time, taking clones and the like. Some ideas, I'll tweak along the way.

Shov

Hope i can learn something from the man.

All the best with the spring grow Shov. I'll be watching from the side line.

Nice way to start out the new year. Can't wait to see what you get from these.

yo shov hows those sshxbb ... cant wait to see how those buds come out!!!

Subscribed. Are those reg seeds or Fem. Should be tasty.

i'll be along for this ride :jointsmile:

im down to learn more..
good luck and the bg xbb is bubble gum x blueberry right? if so i need to get me some of that there genetics lol

~MG a.k.a. le Maine développé

4 of the round pots are larger than the 5 smaller round pots...There are also 3 square pots...

WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!(RAVE says with his best PeeWee Herman voice,lol):D

Nice to see ya startin' another one Shove...I'm intrigued with your BB crosses and wishin' ya good luck with the Nevilles...

No feminized plants this grow. They are now three weeks old. The strains are as follows,

Neville's Haze from Mr. Nice Seeds (I had 8/8 males last attempt) :(

Bubblegum x Blueberry is from the Vermont BG strain crossed with Dutch Passion Blueberry

The Super Silver Haze x Blueberry are from a free-bee (F2?) SSH and Dutch Passion Blueberry.

The different pots? Those were the closest to me at the moment. :pimp:
I'm using a 6K 400 W MH lamp right now as it is pretty cool in the grow room. Lights on is 75-80º I really liked those 3 gallon bags. I have to pick up some more, I'd like to transplant after week four.
Using Fox Farm 3 part for most of the grow. Molasses with every other watering. Mycorrhiza added at transplanting (water in with Superthrive). And I do foliar feed with Big Bloom and a drop of dish soap every couple of days.
No pics. They are just wee seedlings yet. Last grow with the NH I did a lot of FIM early on. I don't know if it had anything to do with all males but I'm not going at it like that this time. I will probably let them all grow out and take the tops for clones later on, maybe FIM the secondary branches and trim off the bottom few leaves and branches, as usual.

Shov

Sorry, no pics. It's been crazy around here.

Anyway, the plants are all looking nice. I have trimmed the lowest branches and just now FIMed the five Neville's Haze. I watered in with nutes and foliar. The temps are perfect.

I made up a batch of soil and transplanted yesterday into 3 gallon bags.

Soil : 50% home soil mix, 25% larger perlite, 25% Light Warrior

Backrow BG x BB

Sorry for the poor photo. I'd rather clean up the grow room than set up for a photo, at this point.

Shov

o btw, I did FIM the NH tops

Looking hot. I can't wait to see this one through. Thanks for logging and sharing for us. :stoned:

They look so happy and peaceful. Do you have a fan in there?

BABY WE WERE BORN TO RUN!!!

Git some Shov...:thumbsup:

looking great i just copped some SSH seeds myself will be stopping by here from time to time, to check out the progress.

Goodluck

Enhanced, I do run a vertical fan. The winter temps are low so I run the fan on low and from quite a distance from the light to keep the canopy temp up there. If it gets cooler, especially after flipping to bloom cycle, I use an electric heater to maintain a healthy temperature.

Super Silver Haze is a very nice smoke. Most folks like the Blueberry better, but different. I hope the cross pollination with the Blueberry male works out ok.

ya it gets cold outside where I live as well. Its winter. The cubby has its right wall connected with the outside wall. If that makes sence. Drilla hole threw the right wall your outside lol. The nighttime temps would bring her down 60-65 so I got a small space heater. Used it in 15m intervals every 3-4 hours but that really didnt help. I was having a high humid prob as well so it would get cold and lik 90% humid with moisture on the walls. So I would let her run with the doors a bit more closed the last few hours to get her temps up to 83-85 and then close her up with a inch crack between the door and put this blanket over the doors cuz of light leaks now all is well. I even put a smaller towel folded up in there at the very top to help absorb moisture and have about 6 moisture traps lol. Morning comes im around no lower than 70 which is nice and humid is around 45-50. I run my fan threw the night do you turn your off?

Yes, fan on 24/7.
This afternoon I trimmed the lowers on all the plants. Foliar spray and light top watering. Added 4 x 4 T5HO 54W for side lighting (and warmth).

Shov

Good to know about the fan. I always have it on just because I feel that they need to keep a moving and I dont want the air to be setteling for mildew growth. Pics of the new lights?

Check out photo in the first post. I'm using the 4 lamp there, though you can't see much when it's on. It's 'off' in the last photo I posted though. ;)

The grow area is made up of bits and pieces of stuff. The base is a couple of 48'' x 18" sheets of plywood sitting on 5 gal pails. The pails will be replaced when the plants need more head room. A 2' x 4' 4 lamp T5HO fixture hangs against the back wall on chain and is adjustable. The 400 W HID is on chain, easily adjustible also. There are 4 sheets of cardboard with mylar which hang on wire hooks and are easily removed for me to work with the plants. This set up lets me have the wall reflectors movable to adjust for the number and size of the plants. A vertical fan is just outside the grow area, even with the HID lamp reflector.
What I like about this set up is that it can be taken down in seconds and doesn't look like a "grow-op". I will take a photo later to show these details.

I'm a little confused....WHY do you care if it looks like a "Grow-Op" .to be taken down in a matter of seconds???? To post here you should be a Co. MMJ cardholder....So why would you even care????? Sounds funny thats all......Peace,Oldschool

To post here you should be a grower that wants to learn,share,compare,and be willing to hand down the knowledge you've aquired to those who ask for it...
You have a 215 card...Must be nice...The majority of us live in cannabis prohibition states and stick our necks out every day to have what should be legal in the first place...
It's a shame there's not a screening process to keep idiots like YOU off the forum you PIN HEADED PRICK with a card...

Sorry to highjack your thread SHOV...Lookin' forward to seeing your progress...

Hey, cut the shit on my thread, guys. Just because Pricktown, Colorado's mayor died and left cronicmonster in charge that doesn't effect my thread a bit. This isn't Colorado, this isn't necessarily the USA. This thread is meant for an international audience. But thanks for backing me up, my friends. I'll go get some photos... :thumbsup:

First, photos of the 'equipment'. <g>

Nice Shov...I like the T-5 side sups...The reflectors in these units make awesome um reflectors,lol even if the side sups aren't turned on...
SSH X BB is lookin' SSH dom so far imo and lookin' good...BG X BB looks like it's gonna be quite the bush...

Don't quote me on this but I remember reading a thread sometime ago that traced the lineage of DJ Shorts BlueBerry...It was a long tangled graph of sqwiggly lines but it wound up pointing to DP BlueBerry...
Wish I could remember who wrote it...Maybe SubCool???

I've never grown it but read that Neville's is not one of the easiest strains to grow too say the least and I have my fingers crossed that you get a better hand dealt to ya as far as sex goes...

Thanks for sharin' man...:thumbsup:

Hey Shov.....Your plants look GREAT man:):)Didnt mean to sound like a prick... Lots of peeps have got into trouble on forums coz of it thats all.From one grower to the next....good job!no crap from me anymore:thumbsup:
