What strains next on the bill?

 

[parkingjoe]

hiya timmy 14 sensi star plants in westlands soil in 3 litre pots for duration of the whole vegging cycle which ends in 1 day and although they havnt had any supplemental feeding only water from day one of flowering they will receive my usual concoction of nutes.boosts/additives.

once the mass and power mums are big enough to take about 20 clones in total i shall be then getting next lot ready for either amazon or dripper or both systems.

1st night of flowering last night so the show begins

lol

enjoy

ps 3 plants are 2 x mass and 1 x power mums coming out of room before lights off and under cloning lamp and back into room when llights go on for some speedy growing ready for clones galore.

Looking great as always PJ. :aok:

 

[parkingjoe]

set up hotbox sulfume tonight being the 1st night of use.

so ive set it to kick in 2 hours after lights off when those durty bastards come out to play well cop this mites tinight is day one of your demise.

i have left the oscillating fan still operating to completely shroud plants with sulphur.

thus killing all bugs over a week or so.

i have set hotbox to operate for 6 hours like i stated with osc fan on but extraction off until hotbox has turned off completely.

anyway enjoy plants.

[Runbyhemp]

Aaaaargh .... not the mites again :doh:

 

[parkingjoe]

ha ha rbh i never actually got rid of them mites so thought id try now before any buds start to appear and ill keep ya all updated on hotbox sulfumes progress.

pkj

 

[parkingjoe]

so opened door to room and a very very slight eggy smell thats not even noticable unless you know sulphur is being used.

seems good so lets see if the mites are still here in a weeks time when all plants get trimmed back for cola type flowering.

[parkingjoe]

pistils starting to form few ****** spots on leaves maybe the hotbox sulfume but im leaving it on for the time being in 5 days time when i trim plants back if mites still present im ditching the hotbox and resorting to hand misting for mites.:fid:

enjoy

pkj:hubba:

 

[KGB30]

Awesome looking ladies.

 

[parkingjoe]

so folks i took a few leaves off star plants then inspected them under a magnifying glass. low and behold i have webbing:holysheep:

but the 10 mites that were on the leaves were all dead.:spit:

so im going to leave the hotbox on for another 4 days to make sure they are all gone and no fresh babies appearing.:hubba:

then this is where the fun starts.

i going to trim back all the bud sites except the top 4 nodes on each and every plant thus leaving just spindly looking branches with potential for turning into colas.

this is a technique i tried a few years ago when a CW member named 'pistilwhipt' showed us the technique and it worked.

so ill post pics as i take knife to plants for trimming.

ps this has to be done upto 2 weeks into flower and not any later if my memory serves me right

[Larnek]

Sounds interesting and I like interesting. Gonna keep an eye on this to see how the trimming turns out in the end. I think I've gotten making a bush down pat so now on to more fun experiments!

 

[Timmyjg6]

Dang bro, sorry to hear. Guess its time to do an ol spring cleaning in your room.

 

[parkingjoe]

ive done the trim back more or less taking everything off the plants except the top 3,4 or 5 nodes aka budsites:holysheep:

now ive done this before but being a stoner ya tend to forget old tricks so here goes done and dusted.

p.s. checked every leaf i took off the plants and every mite was dead.

yippee maybe a 1st time grow without any mites still leaving hotbox on for another 4 days to ensure any baby mites that may hatch die a horrible death:hubba:

[Timmyjg6]

So dose it get hot? ....lol I am serious.

 

[parkingjoe]

rofl

hey timmy do you mean the hotbox sulfume does that get hot if so no is the answer as it has some microprocessor that keeps temps at lowest just start up is hot for few seconds then stable temps throughout operation.

[Larnek]

That is a pretty wild looking plant you got now. Intrigued to see what it turns out looking like. Have you ever compared yield between cutting vs noncut plants? Just curious as to the effects I guess. Good to hear about the mites. Haven't had pest problems yet, hoping to abstain with mine being an enclosed space with all new clean stuff and growing from seed.

 

[parkingjoe]

not really checked between cut and not just easier to trim up once ready for harvest thats my main reason for doing this also when i did it last time i had a massive cola on every remaining branch.

so just a case of watch and learn how to or not to do pruning so aggressively.

lol

ps turned off hotbox now as not one mite alive just lots of dead ones.

plus the growth tips look like they are taking in sulphur which i dont want at any stage.

may give them a misting in a day or so to clean up plants.
