TEST LAUNCH-Operation Redwood Tree

[Weedhound]

for the kind words about Fang. You know if I hadnt had a bunch of expectations in the first place I probably would appreciate her more. :wtf:

For the next act:

Cotton Candy in large tub....she's growing fast but both times we've grown this plant in the past she's done at least five ounces for us before......she always looks huge then weighs out "fluffy" at the end.....I'll see if I can find an old pic of one of our previous girls.

Also have a very nice Arjans Strawberry Haze blooming (I think these are something like 10-12 weeks blooming time so nobody hold their breath for the finish) but she's got her own thing going.....she's strictly going to be for mommy down the road......:stoned::stoned:


We have one of the AK 47 clones in hydro that we just turned....she's doing very well in a 5 gal bucket (DWC and drip) and is handling larger numbers great so far (haven't grown this plant in hydro before......)

Got two power plants in 3 gallon soil pots (second one just brought in today) and we turned the AK-47 clone mom as well after transplanting her into a five gallon soil pot.....and she WAS rootbound alreaady in the 3!!! So we decided to turn her as well.

It's EXTREMELY depressing after 4 mos of hard work so Mr Hound and I joining the ranks of those who have had grow problems lately and feeling VERY bummed

Hey, you got weed. I realize it's not what you were hoping for, but to be totally honest, I wouldn't presume to hope for so much. I don't know what else you can do either, but I'm very happy just putting along at several ounces per plant. If I get weed, and the plants are healthy, I know I'm doing things right. If you do things right, there aint much more you can do.

On the other hand, if you give me a big enough container and enough time I know I can get pounds off one plant. If you veg for a couple years... I keep having this dream of one plant filling up a warehouse before budding. That would be a tree of course.

Your stuff looks awesome!

It's 103 today (100 yesterday) and I've completely given up the idea of an outdoor grow this year.

It was 103 here 2 days ago, which happened to be the day after I planted some AK and BBxNL clones outdoors. The latter are loving it, but the AK may or may not be dead at this point. I mulched with straw, and the AK leaves above the straw are shriveled to near nothingness, but a few little leaves under the straw seem healthy. If you ever plant AK outdoors, watch carefully for bud rot if it starts raining for a couple days.

Hey Hound et al,

I'm looking into some T5's... what do you recommend? The 2 ft unit is the only one that fits my area, so I'm considering the New Wave 4 bulb or 8 bulb running cool/6500k Agrosun tubes.

Any comments/advice would be helpful...

MVP :jointsmile:

My comment is that if you are able to find some bulbs that are 5700K your plants will grow about twice as well as with 6500. Additionally if you ever flower with T-5, if you can find some bulbs that are 2700 they will grow your plants about twice as well as the more common 3000K. And if you do find them, please let us know where.

Darn, aint that the truth. That's one reason I try not to listen to movie critics.

And... Nice, real nice. Everything, really. You should be proud of yourself. Real glad you are now able to work with some AK-47. I almost feel like they're my Godchildren or something.

Thank you for all the things you teach us.

I've taken the AKs to 1650 near the end of flowering. She's an eater.

WeedHound, HY WHT'S UP????......Congrate' On A Great Grow!!!~~~~That Plant Was A Picture Of Dream's!!!!!!imp:imp:imp:imp:imp:

[Weedhound]

103 in your area!! More humid than we are too no doubt. You guys having huge fire issues as well??

You're right Opie that if I take the "expectation" out of the equation I wouldn't be crabbing at all. And honestly everyone is pretty cool about it......I"M the crabby one....!!! :wtf:

Thanks for the info on blooming ak.....we've got a soil one in there too and they are honestly doing terrific! I've also gotten comments on "what a pretty plant that is" in general with the purple tinge and lovely green leaves. I'd like to take ALL my hyro stuff up to at least 1500ppm and more if we can get away with it so we'll see how it goes this grow. (PS....the strawberry haze burns at anything over 850ppm but the rest of them are SNARFING up the nutes.)
