O2 Injections to Roots......

BTW What you're doing with the netting is called a SCROG....or SCReen Of Green... you will be weaving the branches in and out of your netting to fill it up, right? A sog is sea of green and does not use nets. SOG is lot's of tiny one bud plants that cover a floor or table, each bud being the apical bud or "best bud"...TOPS...that's the word! LOL! brainfart! Your going to fool one or two plants into thinking they have lots of apical buds all at the same level. How do ya figure those dang plants know which bud is highest? LOL! Both good techniques but there's a difference! Still, I'll be ckin the grow log as it develops! Good Luck!

"...just too lazy to drive 3 hours for something I forgot"??? Me too! LOL!...spoken like a true stoner! Love it! LMAO!

Yes right now with the two in flower I'm doing a scrog. But I made these screens to add support to the main trunks of the lollipops that will make up the sea of green once in place. So instead of having the screen holding the foliage at the same height like SCROG, the screen will be below the foliage and the colas will do their thang!!!

Man I CANNOT WAIT!!!! But I have too..... I haven't grown my own for a little over three years now and man am I ready to have my own supply again!!!!

I like the way they are coming out so far. Just gave them some Ph'd water. Not sure if I mentioned that my nute water regimen is nute nute water.

This is my nute recipe for flwr days 14-21. Measurements are per 40 oz of water: (who said you had to measure by the liter?)

2ml Fish Mix
2ml Alg a mic
7ml Bio Bloom
5ml Top Max
2ml Floralicious Bloom
2ml Liquid Karma
1.5ml Cal Mag
2ml Vitamin B-1
ppm's are between 1100-1200
Ph it to 5.0 to offset the Ph in the soil

Soil Ph tends to rise a little so I lower the Ph in the water before adding to the soil.

Here are a couple pics...... The first is of Day 11 FL and the second is of Day 16 FL, just to see the difference 5 days can make..... Can't wait to see what they look in 38 days when I plan to chop for first harvest........

Forgot to mention that I also foliar spray each day right before the light goes on. Will stop after the 28th day of flower. Using 1ml of Floralicious Bloom in 18oz of water, Ph'd of course.

Also the soil of the plant that had the air blown in does dry sooner than the other. I think the proof will be in the root zone once the plant completes it's life cycle. I am so glad this plant decided to give me it's life cycle for my personal benefit......

Happy Growing......

They're still flowering!!

Need a second opinion. Going to start a thread in Plant Problems...... Ah, Oooh!!

22 days til flush for first harvest....Man, they smell delicious!!!!

Last week I was advised to get my plants closer to my light, since my light is in a fixed location. ( Thank You Rusty Trichome!:thumbsup: ) I built this stand out of 2x4's and it fit like a glove! It really improved my grow area. Now I have space under the pots. This will make it waaaaaay easier to flush the pots properly.

They were flushed on Flwr Day 28 and will get only RO water until Flwr Day 34. I will be taking a sample branch from each plant, a small to medium size, before I feed nutes again. I do this because I cannot have the cab open for very long while the light is on and it is really hard to examen your plants when you are in the dark. With the sample, I can take my time looking at each leaf, looking at each budsite and I check for any type of bug or unwanted growth. And the last exam is the smoke and taste test. It is really early on so I'm sure it will be a "head high". So after it is dried and cured, I'll find out......

Happy Growing!!!!

If you add more perlite to your soil mix, the roots get more oxygen everytime you water. I really don't see air injection being helpful enough to make a difference.

I really don't see air injection being helpful enough to make a difference. You obviously didn't read the part where I said that this was done just for the heck of it.......

Thank you for following my grow log!!!

Yeah, so, I harvested half of the two plants on Flwr Day 34. The buds have since dried and are now in mason jars curing away. From what I have used so far, the effects have been great :thumbsup:!! The taste is getting there and it is smoothe. I know, I know, that I harvested at half the time I should have. I just can't seem to bring myself to pay for something that is growing in my cab, regardless of maturity. Like I said before, I haven't had my own steady supply for a little over 3 years now and I am sooooo liking the idea of having it again. Now I can buy what's needed for growing, instead of buying my meds......btw, I haven't had any meds for about the last month sooo, yeah......really glad I don't have to buy them anymore......

I've never grown a true purple strain before and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Look at the purple on the bottom sides. I can't wait to see just how purple they get. I have more of this strain flowering and I am NOT going to harvest ANY of that until at the very least, week 8 of flower.....I imagine it will be purpley:rasta:

Happy Growing......

I had root rot so I shoved the air pump hose to the bottom of the planter and half the plant survived but was very strange to see half a dead plant and half a live one. I almost threw it out but now it's going to yeild a nice little sack.
