All Plants came from dirt, to hydro.

Dag, I am soooo glad over and over again I have had the fortune not to deal with pests. Those things are ubiquitous, ya?

I dealt with mold once and that was another horrible neverending saga. Seems like some of my friends deal with control rather than cure (spider mites out here).

Thrips are a joke... plus I can even spray while budding... pyrethrin biodegrades after a week exposed to air also... so very safe stuff... mites tho... are best killed w/ avid... which is a nerve toxin... and lasts 6 weeks.
If mites are not completely all killed... they adapt to the poisons and then u can't even control them.

Last day for vegging... going through a nute leech day today.. tomorrow starts 12/12 the plants are all around 18" they are gonna be some HUGE *** plants on my table.... i'm considering putting up some snow fencing across the top of them to try and hold them up... i can't see the 4" pots holding all the bud w/o fallin over... but i'll cross that obstacle when i get to that point.

New pics will be around tomorrow after I get my timer set and the res changed.

So I put on my timer pins today... 12/12 officially starts today. The girls are all 18" and over... so by the time I'm done I might run outta space, we'll see how much they stretch... i have the light as close as possible w/o burning..

I bought some DNF clear to try out this grow also... see how that works for flushing them out the last week... when I got this Skunk#1 from my friend... he said it was 55 days to flower... later, when I grew it I found the 50/50 clear to amber happened on the 50th day... and then talking to him after he found his crop did the same... so hopefully by jan 20th they'll be dry and done!

Here are some pics for the first day of flower.

They are getting some good trunks to hold up the weight.


Here is one of the plants that I sorta saved. She is starting to get a lot greener then when I found her.


Here are a couple I added in after the 5 main ones.


And finally some group pics.

Good luck Kade! I flowered my last full grow at 18" and the harvest plant height was 5'. I almost ran out of room!

I'm going to frame in the grow area this time with 1 x 2's and install 4" wire mesh over them at about 3 feet up. I can still reach everything that way. My grow area is only 3.5 feet deep.

Let us see how you do it when it's time, ok?

 

[KADE]

5 feet! Oh sweet hell!! I hope they don't get that high... If they double in size... say 3.5 feet tall max I'll be okay... but too much more then that and I'm fubared... I'm debating cutting the legs on my table and/or somehow creating a different drain pipe to the res.

Power went off a few hours tonite... got a freak storm (was sposed to be rain) I had a couple flashlights and some candles shining on the reflector and it gave good light to see with and keep the light cycle going... also hand fed a lil nutes to them to make sure the roots in the piping didn't dry out too much... after only 3 hours they cleaned the cars outta the powerpoles and got things running again.. I was happy to hear the pump/ballast start back up... then i noticed an hour after shutoff the light was still on... DUH.. because the power outage stopped the light timer from turning... a quick adjustment and *snap* she went off... hopefully no more of those. I learn from my mistakes.

 

[KADE]

Looks like my girls are starting the stretch today.... in 24 hours the ph went from 5.7 to 7.5... thas serious root growth... should be seeing some good stuff startin in the next 10 days or so! woooo... never gets old waiting for the hairs to appear.

 

[KADE]

Just postin up a few pics for you ppl, I know how I get when no one posts pics!
I've been keepin my light close as I can get... I can't have them stretch too much or I'm screwed. The light isn't showing ne bad effect on the plants from 4-6" away... so I'll keep it at that height for now. In the background u can see some lush new growth on the "dead" plants too.. i'm interested in seeing if they go hermie or not after all the stress.




I've noticed leaves in some pics look yellow... that is just from the glare of the 120,000 or so lumens of hps =)

 

[KADE]

Here are some updated pics, got their first dose of bloom nutes. Starting to show some good hairs.

 

[Stoney Bud]

Good luck to you!

Here's some GREEN MOJO for you!

 

[KADE]

lol thanks dude!! They are currently growing 2 inches everyday overnite... might have to cut the legs of my table down... Hopefully they stop growing up and grow out.... full of buds.

 

[Elephant Man]

Nice jungle there Kade!:cool2:

 

[KADE]

haha yeah... i'm gettin worried about the height... i've never tried the whole scrog thing.... how does a screen work? neone know?

 

[newgreenthumb]

Just a question what is "SCROG" anyway? By the way, it all looks good KADE!

 

[KADE]

Screen Sea of Green...
U put a screen over the tops when in a sog setup to let the canopy grow to all the same height.... but i dunno how it keeps leaves n branches from growin through....

 

[newgreenthumb]

Thanks for the explanation. Thats why I come here again and again. I think I am on this site more than I checked my email.

 

[KADE]

Here are a couple pics from tonite before a nute leech day tomorrow.

 

[motame]

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]
