Doco's Hut

[doco]

Yes I use the Cal-Mag every time I nute, which so far has been every watering the last couple times. It adds a bit of N so I like to use it with the others. I think I might do a nute/nute/plain water regime and see how that goes. They are starting to get thirstier and I may need to water more than once a week like I have been. Actually they are each getting thirsty at different times so now I have to feel the pots to know when to feed them.

For the light leaks I did what you do and it seems to work pretty good. Thanks for the tip!! Thanks too for the VERY generous offer of the clones but I've got a full house at the moment. I'm going to put together a cloning/vegging cabinet towards the first part of next year.

If you wanna try some Growth Excel, just lemme know and I'll get some to you. A small amount lasts a long time foliar feeding so I can share what I have with you. I visit my sister up in Carlsbad every other weekend or so (get to play with my nephews) so I'm up in your neighborhood pretty regular. Hit me up at [email protected]

Minor update. Nothing really new to report except they are getting big and I need to thin down the garden. My intention was for the ones in the 6" pots to show sex before I transplanted but since they have not, I topped the tallest three to see if I can get them to show sex in the next couple of days. They are the stretchy ones I suspect are males but can't really tell for sure yet. In the end I will only keep the three clones (already in 3 gallon pots in the pictures) and a few of the ones in 6" pots which I'll transplant in 3 gallon pots as soon as they sex. I am finding this hut really cant can't do justice to more than 4 or maybe 6 plants (original plan was for 8) and let them reach maximum potential. The C-99 in the center is feminized so thats a keeper for sure.

The smell is wonderful!! I love coming into this room...just the aroma is intoxicating. Need to put on the scrubber next weekend.

Pic 1 is the whole garden, pic 2 shows some of the internodal growth, 3 & 4 are the clones. Enjoy!!

Lol, I just looked at the pics in the first post...three weeks makes a lot of difference!!! :greenthumb:

I'll say it does. Up close I can see the pots, but the first recent picture's preview image looks like a shot of the Amazon. Oh, and if someone takes a curling iron to some of your leaves and paints a few others yellow in a fit of envy, it wasn't me. :angelsmiley:

ha ha your stoked Doco. Mine lil ladies are gettin to be about done. I have finals for school now so I've been busyyyyy. I'm just glad the buds weren't done last week.

Sounds good Dusto2k3, I'll give you a shout.

And I'll know right where to look if my girls are wearing any crazy new hairdo's CCIE

Ok, I thinned out the garden - gave 5 of the girls away and transplanted four others into their final 3 gallon pots. Good thing too cause these girls are wanting to spread their wings. Next time I'm only doing four at a time.

Topped the four new ones (Mango clones already were topped) and I'll start flowering New Years day. Also got a new Jedi clone that was well rooted so it went into a 6" pot of Ocean Forest...it'll be my new first mother for learning cloning.

Just picked up a surplus C-13 style cabinet that I'm gonna use for a new cloning/mother cabinet. Inspired by so many nice cabs on this site, I picked up a New Wave 4 bulb T5 HO fluorescent fixture that will hopefully be enough for the mother and I'll just have a couple CFL's with an aero cloner up top for cloning. Stay tuned...

In the pics, the four closest and to the left of camera are the newly topped youngsters, the bigger mangos are against the back and right wall.

Hiya KD - your cabinet with the T5 inspired me to get one for my mothering cab too, so in a sense, this is your garden also. In fact everything I know about indoor gardening I learned from you and people like you on this site...people willing to share their experiences and chronicle their grows. So many people here have helped me get to this point and I am only passing on what was so freely given to me - no need to be jealous at all.... we are all just sharing.

That is a real nice grow, doco. I'm trying T5s myself (with T8s and HPS) and I think our grows are about the same age (I seeded 11-4) Your plants look very healthy/happy. I'm going to 2700K 54W T5s and 34W T8s from the 4100k that I used for veggin'. With the 250W HPS in a 4' x 3' x 6'6"H. That's a total of 530W right now, I well add a second 250W HPS in a couple of weeks when I go to bloom to total 780W in a 4' x 4' square. Similar grows, except for the strains.
