Blue Mystic grow log...

[EvilCartman]

Its been almost a week since the last update with pics so here goes it.

Nice! Those roots headin' south, look hungry!
The "topping" on the soil plant went well. :thumbsup: Did it trigger much branching?
Here's to hoping ya got a girl!!

I wish I could give ya some useful feedback on the FF stuff, but I'm using it all for the first time myself. So far, so good. In soil, though.

EvilCartman Reviewed by EvilCartman on 12-10-2009. Blue Mystic grow log... Whats up... So finally got my strawberry male done and gone with pollen in the freezer. My Blue Mystic beans cracked in less than 6 hours so I am pumped to see what they can do. Now this will be my 2nd attempt at hydro. First was my strawberry male that did great. Will be using two 5 gallon DWC buckets with Fox Farms nutes. Rockwool plugs in hydroton, 3" netpots, and a UFO style LED inside my homebox tent. Hopefully some people with a hydro green thumb can keep an eye on these Rating: 5

Thanks guys... Ya the topping literally turned it into a bush. All the side shoots flew out and its wider than it is tall now. Just noticed on my lunch break that the far back shoots are already touching the back of the tent. Its great!

GOOD NEWS.

just went to adjust the LST on the unknown soil one... its a girl! Got female preflower. Nice and white pistols. So happy... Going to have a tent full of buds now. Plus ill be able to compare her being topped to the others in my own experiment to see which is best for me.


Plus she is getting this serious smell... its like tropical, maybe like old mangos. Its gross yet awesome at the same time. lol...

Ive been slowly increasing the PPMs to my hydro girls tuning it to their specific needs...

Increased the nutes to Lady#1 to 650ppm today and she pushed out a new node by the end of the day. Lady#2 who was behind by several days and lots of stress has been increased to 350ppm and she is reaching her leaves to the sky.

The soil girl is healthy and I am trying to slow her growth to let the hydro catch up. I have lowered her nutes to 1/4 and continue to LST her. Cant wait to go into 12/12 because she will definitely be the biggest plant ive attempted. Hope her bucket size will last. Not sure of the size but its just a tad smaller than 5 gallon.

If you are worried about bucket size then you might want to address that now instead of later :jointsmile:

Good idea... I was thinking that I need to go buy another 5gallon but I remembered I have a few outside that I used for a soil grow awhile ago. I wish I could find good soil around here.

I will probably transplant it this week sometime.

On another note, I hope my carbon filter is up to the challenge. I checked the ladies this morning and good god the soil one smells super strong. Was so strong that the smell stuck to the inside of my mouth and nose. Had to go use listerine. Nasty girl!
It doesnt smell "bad" but its just so strong its overpowering. Wife said either mangos or peaches. I say mangos that are almost spoiled...

After topping the soil girl about one week ago or so she has really pumped out the side branches and is almost an even canopy with some LST on the main stem. So many secondary tops that I lose count when trying. Even with the very low amount of nutes she refuses to slow down.

She is also showing more and more female preflowers which make me happy.

Also due for a res change on the DWC. Hopefully I have time tomorrow morning to do it.
