Bubba Kush Grow log w/lst topping future scrog

[chrisdl805]

Hello, this is my second grow, my first i did a dwc outdoors with 3 plants and got just over a qp. So this is my 1st indoor grow and I'll be using some in coco and some is peat moss, both with perlite of course and i put some lime in with the peat. I even have 1 in half coco half peat just for kicks... Im using botincare nutrients Pro Grow and Liquid Karma plus some Cal Mag but from advanced not botanicare. I use what I got... Right now there under a 4 ft T5 on 24/7. I got them as clones from a friend and were already well rooted in rockwool. I have had them about 2 weeks now and they all seem to be growing so fast! I was suprised cause I did Hydro last time and I thought soil would be a lot slower. I will be flowering with at least 1600 watts all hps. Either a 1000 and a 600 or 2 600s and a 400. I haven't decided yet? Maybe you guys can chime in. My flower space is 7'x about 4'. Right now I'm vegging in the same place I'll flower just cause I don't have any to flower yet...I know I'll be needing a bigger fan than the one I currently have cooling the hoods. I was thinking of getting one of the duct booster fan that could go inbetwwen the hoods. There only $35 for a 6" and has a decent cfm. I topped and attempted to FIM a few branches tonight for the 1st time, we'll see how they take to it.
Heres a few picks plus a link to a lot more pics of plants and my set up...I suck at posting pics on forums!!][/URL]

These seeds I started about 3 weeks ago and are starting to take off. They should all be sage n sour that I got from a local cannabis club. Some of the best weed I've smelt and smoked. 4 of them look the same but 1 has a little broader leaves so I may have got my seeds mixed up...oh well

[lawl12]

looks really nice gl w/ your grow! :thumbsup:

[chrisdl805]

Well I gave them their first dose of Co2 yesterday, and I can say they look noticeably bigger in just 24hrs. There still in veg as I'm waiting on a 1000 watt hps bulb that I ordered. Plus I'm still battling some spider mites, and I juts recently found out I have a reel bad root aphid infestation on my 1 big sange n Sour. I'm getting some nematodes, lace wigs, and aphid parasites tomorrow and I'm ordering the spider mite predators that should be in by wed. I tried the No pest strips and they seemed to work at first, but the mites keep coming back even though I 've left the strips out the entire time! Surprisingly this new Store I found is pretty cheap on predators. Nematodes are like $20, lace wigs are $15 spider mite predators are $30 and the aphid parasites are the most at $75. Hes also got praying mantis's, but I think I would be poking around looking through my plants and not see the thing and have it attack me! Or maybe I'm just stoned:rasta:

Here they are at about 6 weeks veg...I ended up just drilling a buch of holes around the bucket and then tying down all the main branches instead of doing a scrog. Right now it kinda looks like a nice even canopy without the screen. Lets hope it stays that way.

So I scored a light mover today for $50! Its used but seems to work fine. It has 2 3'2" tracks that connect and has an adjustment knob for the delay when it gets to one end. I'm already running out of room and things are only gonna get more crowded as I switch to flower. So now I'm gonna put the 1000 watt on the mover and put the 600 a little be forward so that way i can have 5 plants under the 1000 and the other 3 under the 600 watt. My only concern is that I want to still be able to air cool both hoods. Does anyone have any good ideas for keeping the venting from binding up or ripping apart? I also got my 1000 watt hps bulb in and my new Sun System 6" A/C hood with the built in flanges...SWEET!! Its Flower time... I talked my buddy who owns a hydro shop and he was saying I should spray with B-52 from Advanced before switching to help keep the plants from stretching a lot in the first 2 weeks. I think I'm gonna try it...I also will be feeding them some BUD Blood just for the first week of flower, and I got a free 130g of Big Bud for weeks 2-5 of flower. Then i have some Overdrive for the last 3 weeks of flower, plus I got some Gravity that I'm gonna try also used in the last 2-3 weeks of flower. So what do you guys think???

[chrisdl805]

Wow this is a real active thread...For anyone who's interested my ladies have been switched to 12/12. Let the flowering begin! Its day 2 and they seemed to stretch a few inches overnight. I'd post pics but they're not much to see but big green leaves. I've finally got my spider mite predators and some lace wings eggs. I also have the beneficial nematodes going too. I wanna get some more lady bugs. The guy said to spray them with 1/2 soda 1/2 water to glue their wings shut and i think it killed them. They were almost all dead within a day.

UR plants look great.
So if U end getting all femals then U R gunna harvest an ass load of buds.

and good job on getting rid of there bug problem.

and I also just got rid of a bud problem.

well heres to some great luck and getting all females.:thumbsup:

[chrisdl805]

Thanks for checking it out. They are actually all clones except for the big one which was a seed, sage n Sour, that I started about 8 months ago. First it was outside last summer then started to flower, female, for 3 weeks or so and was put under a fluorescent to re-veg. Eventually I moved to a new spot and put her under a T-5 for a few months, and now for the last month she has been under a 600 watt hps. I started out with 4/5 seeds being female that I wanted to make mothers but 3/4 have since died. This plant is the one that just won't quit and now after her roots being torn to shreds by aphids shes starting to come back strong. I feel I owe it to her to flower after all shes been through. So their all girls, unless I fuck up the light cycle and they hermie. Anyways glad you got your bug problem under control. I still haven't seen any lace wing larvae around yet. Just a few green eggs and a lot of grey ones left on the cards they come stuck on.
