Contact! Seeds in soil for my first run

[Guest]

looking professional! 2 weeks of 12 12 is only enough to start the buds, but now they will get plump fast. its a big change from veg to bloom. nice to see the dog house plants too. rockin both high and low tech.
spinnin fire...

Thanks Cudme! Redbud guy put the big kybosh on the chloride. It would kill off my little critters. The big tent has a full load. I need to get busy with the fiskars and take shaded leaves off. This is 2 weeks in bloom. Runtz rabbit TL, AK47 TR, AK47 BR, Serious kush BL. The rabbit is 24" tall above the soil, 20" below the lights. The lights can still go up 18" higher. Those bars are about half way up the side of the tent. I already dread those elastic nets come chop time.

I like the bud formation on the taller plants...

Serious bush is doing what it always does. 16" above the soil now.

I think my 3rd run is gonna be a tent full of sativa plants.

 

[flylowgethigh]

So I wonder if these purple veins are a sign of trouble, or the strain:

 

[flylowgethigh]

This run sure has been a learning experience. The big tent is hard to manage the trimming because I can only access from the front and the nets keep me from moving the front plants out. I suppose there will be a lot of larf as a result.

The midgets are happy on the SIP beds. Blumats read high 20's, which for top watering is wet. These need to go to their new home so I can have the space for the next run's plants in bigger bags and SIPS. I want to experiment with folair spay on the smaller midget (Serious Kush) and see if the leafs lose the yellow.

The flowers keep on flowering... might be some dope come out of this effort after all. A clockwise tour of the tent flora:

Serious kush. Edit: This is the first I have seen tric heads on the plants. Yippie!

AK47 pheno?
AK47 pheno? I lost track of which was the fat initial leaf pheno.

Edit 4/20: The pistals are turning brown. Is this normal, or am I back to killing the plants again?

This was on the Runtz rabbit. It has stretched to where the top buds are at 920 umoles. The rest are at 800 and also getting brown.

 

[flylowgethigh]

I wonder if shortening the darkness hours 3 hours on two consecutive nights, so I can shift the ON hours to the night time, has caused the browning of the pistals. I was gonna shorten it two more hours tonight to get to my final setting.

All the plants have browned the pistals. Let's see if they grow through it.

Edit 4/21; The light hours are where I want them now, and the plants are growing new pistals Little tent ON 0400, OFF 2200. Big tent ON 2200, OFF 1000. The AC draws a lot of juice, and it will run hardest when the big tent is OFF. Plus, the cooling is less during the cool night.

It will be cold tonight so I brought in the outcasts. The plants are loving it out in the sun. No leaves screaming for cal-mag, stretching like crazy. Soon midget (now growing) Serious Kush will join them.

In the center, standing 24" above the soil, is the midget plant I call "?". This girl has grown!

On the left, at 20" above soil, is the GxDxOPG misfit. Seems to have been reformed, and is a nice plant now.

And on the right, kept alive only by my fear of bad plant Karma if I abandon it, is the misfit Sundae Stallion.

Solo cups get me wet lol....cold....mister bubby cold is 30

I hit them with some folair spray and the pistals complain again. I bet they grow right back. Day 24 flower. Tallest plant (the rabbit) is 920 umoles at the tops, the lowest (Serious Kush) is 630. The smell on the rabbit is phenominal. The others are developing smell also.

They just aren't bouncing back like before this time. Leaves are burned, pistals brown and withered. Shit. The Runtz was developing delicious rub smell, making my fingers sticky. .

AK47 with the yellow leafs that made me do it.

I am pretty sure it was because I foliar sprayed with this stuff. Per their instructions. I thought I needed P and K. Will never do this again.

[flylowgethigh]

Pistils are still pissed at me for the foliar spray. Never again with the BAS build-a-bloom by foliar. The are still putting on weight, but what quality?

That stout azz AK47 seems to have fared the best.

 

[flylowgethigh]

The yellowing continues in the big tent. Worst affected is the AK47, but they are all suffering. See my post today in the ​​​​​​infirmary.

Group shot of the big tent. Worst yellowing is right rear AK47:



Meanwhile I have kicked the second run outside to play under the sun for a month. I moved back in to their old veg tent the midgets and a misfit. A Humboldt OG (HOG) stayed in and will flip with these. I am using 14/10 to move the sunrise and sunset to align with the other tent, and run at night when the air is cooler, and to have the tent elec load opposite time of the AC load..

The plant I call "?" because I lost track of the genetics at the right rear. Trying to pull down the two main branches they split at the split. The plant is a beast. Serious Kush left rear, Gelato x Dosidios x OPG rt front, and the HOG left front. I will not use nets here, but maybe some bamboo sticks if needed. The outsiders got a lot taller and bushier under old Sol. I dread the stretch, but there is room.

7 plants out of 8 of this run finish, and the Sundae Stallion is outside with the second run, still alive but no home. With two Strawberry Bananas coming, that little plant is unwanted and unloved.



So the plan is:

* Big tent - flower till around 6/1 and chop.

* Little tent - flower till 7/1 and chop. Then start vegging sativas in there (that will be run three).

* Second run outsiders come back inside and go in the big tent 6/1 and flower there until 8/1 then chop. Put the sativas in there to flower when then 2nd run is done.

And so on, and on to the 4th run. What this means is I will need more big jars with a harvest coming in once a month for the next three months. Gonna have too much dope.

 

[flylowgethigh]

The bags I brought in from outside were light weight cause the soil was dry, compared to how I usually do it. The leafs are healthy looking and display NONE of the BS we get from tent airflow and LED lights with elevated in-house CO2 levels from the occupants.

So I drench innoculated the soil again, and have them on SIP tubs.

It's fun taking pics of the big tent, and it smells great in there.

I have been shifting the little tent 14/10 daylight hours 2 back every day, to align with the other tent's hours. The idea is to have the tents running at night when the AC is not working as hard. They will flip to 12/12 tonight, but "?" decided not to wait, and jumped the gun.

This is the mystery plant from post #11. I broke it's tap root when I pulled it up, and here it is still.

I gave them a foliar with purecrop1 and tweetmint.

Edit 5/5: I checked the outside plants, and the Sundae Stallion has decided to start flowering also. The misfit / midget plants must have had enough BS, and want to finish and die.

 

[flylowgethigh]

They are at 12/12 now and in sync with the other tent. Two more plants showed sex this morning, and maybe HOG is also. That plant is totally different from the hashplant Indica's I have been running. A lot of water going into those hand-water SIP pans.

Group shot: "?" TR, G x D x OPG TL, Serious Kush BR, HOG BL.



HOG. Do I see pistals there?
G x D x OPG has pistals
So does Serious Kush.

Except for HOG, these were plants I had rejected but couldn't abandon. A Sundae Stallion is outside and could also do OK (despite backing over it with my truck) in a tent, but I have no room.

Update -the Sundae is starting to flower otside. This will be interesting.

 

[flylowgethigh]

In the big tent, they soldier on. Smells good in there.

Big tent flowers on. Leaves yellowing still, will make more nitrogen-rich tea of kelp, alfalfa EWC, and maybe tad of chicken shit.

Runtz rabbit:

Serious Kush:

The other one in the small tent (a midget) has grown very differently a fter a month in the sun.

AK47:

This is the one that made me do the foliar spray I regret so much.

Other AK47:

This is the one with the best recovered pistils.

.

 

[flylowgethigh]

The little tent is quite bushy now. All are showing pistils except HOG, which is a much younger plant that hasn't been outside like the others. Tht HOG is growing like what I imgine a Sativa will do.

Group shot. Nice and bushy:

HOG front left still not showing sex. Serious Kush front right not as bushy as the other in the big tent. "?" right rear, G x D x OPG left rear.

This is "?"

G x D x OPG is a bitch

So is this Serious Kush
