Smelly Joe

Interesting thread. Nice comments and outrages statements. I am quite shocked at how guys go on like bitches when it comes to flowering and lights for the ladies we love and enjoy.

I guess some of needs to be educated on things but that how we learn and evolve. I personally use HPS but due to my ballast that blew I am now on the CFL's till I saved up for a proper QB setup. If what your using works for you personally then stick to it. Test the new waters and if you start sinking then paddle back and try again.

If my styles of growing pisses people off and its not the "right" way then advise me in a better direction but if I end up growing with 12 incandescent bulbs and I enjoy it then fuck it. If you don't grow to sell then do what makes you happy.

My 2c fell out while getting in the car so this is just my 1c opinion

Well things has changes quite a bit and it's happening fast. I upped het feed from 4ml to 6ml per liter but found some burned tips on the leafs. So I will be going down to 5ml per liter and will give an AACT tea every other feeding. I wanted to flush with some Calmag but I don't think it's needed at this point. She still hasnt developed any smells yet and is still smelling like new plant.

I had my doubts about this one and was considering doing something with her, like transplanting to a bigger pot to help with the rootbound issue, but that would've been a fault. She started pushing pistils and the bud sites is forming nicely. I quite enjoy the flowering style of this plant with the buds forming straight from the stalk.





The "Unknowns".

These ones has just about veged till the end cause I can only see e the 1st pistils showing and it almost seems as if they are the pre sex pistils which will mean a late harvest. Hopefully weather plays along and will be able to harvest without any of those late season problems.

What's the size of those pots. Aren't they rootbound???

At last she is showing pistils and in flowering mode. It's amazing that this was such a small cutting that I planted out in December and look at her now. Her roots has just taken that pot by storm and I'm watering every 2nd day. It'll end up being watered morning and night later as flowering deepens.

This one is a bit of a worry for me in a way. I'm pretty sure she is rootbound in that pot. I ven tried lifting her few days ago and I could hear roots breaking so the roots has shot into mother earth. I read that the plants can take rootbound in coir better than soil. Not sure if it's true but so so far she is doing fine. I trimmed some of the branched away. Mainly the ones that was thin and crappy. In a week or 3 I will pull more branches down. Got some dowles that I'm gonna use for that to ensure proper support





These are the random seeds. Unfortunately they still look like they are vegging it out in the flowering sun. LoL.

Second week may be a bit too rigid but I tuck and weave my new growth almost daily in week 1.should slow down after week 2 at least. I'm not a fan(pardon the pun) of deflation in flower

It's still a topic for debate. There is ones who says yes and ones that say no. I understand the reason behind not doing it but I also understand the logic when doing it so I kinda fucks with me when I do apply some defoliation. I defoliated my outdoor few weeks back and she is again bushy.

Will post update pics soon on my thread. Just dis not have time for any extra time

Time for ladies to get......... moist.

LoL

Nah your still fine on the time side. Even a few weeks after this you can defoliate again if you wanted to

Amazing how they just impress....

Get in there and defoliate. That way you can see what you have to work with and also cut out any unwanted growth. Get some twine and tie down if you want or just leave....your choice....

LoL I'll find you bro

Dude it was an awesome party. Laughed until we cried on shrooms. They moved the dance floor which I think is crappy cause I liked it the way it was. Dave Mac and Headroom delivered once again but I was more waiting for The Commercial Hippies set but it turned out a little bit to fast for my liking. Last year they played an epic set but oh well. Decor was good but not like 2 years back with the 3D mapping.

All and all a great weekend and will go again next year like every year.

Yeah so far it's been a good test run. I gave seeds to a few growers and it was grown Indoor and outdoor. 2 more has started flowering outdoor and they are beasts.

Like I said the seeds are small but turns out to be big ladies (and gents)

[mention=1195]Smelly Joe[/mention] been through ya activities and can't seem to find you growing with Hydro. I have been growing veggies outside in DWC for years so I agree with  [mention=1499]Dope_Boy26[/mention] a control reservoir makes all the difference.

I haven't posted anything cause I haven't given it a full on go. Don't think I want to post my embarresment on the Web. LoL.

Hey brother. I am super stoked to see your plants looking the way they are. Well done on helping them recover. Advice is a pleasure dude cause without the help of growers when I started I wouldve been lost and prob given up growing. LOL.

Keep us posted on that scrog setup which looks super so far. I see what you mean with you running out of rope. We always have to tie out bitches down tight otherwise they just lose control.

Update and Maintenance:

I looked at the garden this morning after enjoying a nice wake n bake session and thought about how I can give lady more sun. I whipped out the garden tools and started cutting away. 

I placed a piece of  leftover pallet wood in that area and it fitted perfectly. It also allows me a nice platform to stand on and sit during maintance of the plants. I gave the lady a last minute LST and now she is enjoying more sun and lifted from the ground. 

Just a very very early pic of pistils starting to show. I know.... Its useless but yeah.. 

A recipe from @Green Leaf Organics

Basic mix:

Coco coir 

Worm castings

Soil

Perlite 

Mushroom compost / kraail mix 

Kelp meal

Bonemeal

Rock dust 

Lime 

Mycoroot 

 

Can't get easier than that

Call up all the nurseries in Bloem and find who stocks worms castings(vermicompost), cocopeat(peat moss is also good) and perlite and mix those together. If you dont come right with that its time to order online

If you don't come right with the ingredients needed then you  need to get the fuck out of that town bru and come down to CT. LoL. It shouldn't be hard to find. You might end up paying more than other guys but once you get it your on your way and trust me you will find ways to get your plants the love they need. 

But yeah dude, Calterra is kak.

Chemdawg x Candyland:

Well Im guessing that the stretching has come to an end or will be pretty soon. The 1st pistils were noticed 2 weeks ago and since then she has grown a bit. The pic doesn't do her size justice but trust me she has much bigger. I have also noticed that she has 2 shades of green. The left side is lighter green than the right side. It's must be due to the breakage she had in the beginning. I attached a pic again to show where the break was. I still have not cleaned her up yet to much cause I am still gonna try and take a few cuttings just as an experiment. Don't have space for them really but hey there will be participants. 

Mendicino Skunk :

This one has me amazed. She has grown at an incredible rate. She also started stretching about few days after the Cxc and seems to have come to an end too. 

Random Seed #1 ( might be NL) 

Random Seed #2 (Blue Kush Berry) 

The random seeds is also quite a surprise as to the speed they are growing in the soil. 

If I googled correctly then that is a Phidippus audax or bold jumping spider. 

They are common in fields and grasslands, but mostly seen on fences, exterior walls, and gardens. Many jumping spiders seem to prefer flat vertical surfaces,  due to the fact that it enables them to spot and chase down roaming insects with ease. So I guess they are all good where they are. 

 

 

We've been getting the same spot now for 4 years. Me and my wife. I'll pm you tonight

@Dr. Green yeah dude let me know if your going cause we are leaving that Friday morning. If all works out of course.
