Hey dudes

Got a bit of an update, I took a few pictures last night as I was in there making some minor improvements to it.

I light proofed my veg box

not much to look at, but it does the trick


You can see it is open a bit, I did that to show what i use it for. The tote next to it I keep promix in, and I would hope everything is else is self explanatory.





Here she be open




The black reflector is a UVB bulb I use during veg.

So, I also have a few tips for any noobs hanging around my grow
I had an issue of when I watered, I would get "pits" in the top layer of promix, from the force of the water. And with seedlings, and younger plants, it is very easy to knock them over or damage young stems from it, so I use a bottle. I mix up like 2 l of nute/water and the bottle I use is 1 L




OK planttime



Check it out, I am not sure what this plant is doin, but it is a mutant big M

The rest of the Big M







P3








PC









two different phenos here

The last thing I want to show you, is how I measure nutes for very small amounts. I use this




Nevermind the dirtiness Liquid Karma is very dark and stains, but I have a few of these, i use for measuring out my nutes. Cost a few bucks at Walmart for a couple.






Ywouldnt I

Hey bro I did get the BX, I had no issues with it till this last run. This time I went HP and picked up a huge bag of perlite, not having those issues again.

Bubble

Welcome to my grow, make yourself comfortable

Whitebox

Hey man thanks, but everyone likes the pollen chuck, I would never have any cuts for myself.
Thanks for stoppin in

Z
How goes it bro, I was thinking of doin a hydro run, when I am not sure, but soon. will be nice to compare our PC when we get to bud stage

 

[chubbynugs]

Damn dog those seedlings are starting to take off. Great nodal growth on them. I dont like the seedlings that stretch out all funky. Those syringes are key to mixing nutes too. I always mix five gallons at a time to make it easier on me math wise. This ebb and flow thing i am doing is making feeding damn easy and it is only day one LOL. Keep it green brotha dog.

 

[chubbynugs]

Also when do you use liquid karma cause my friend uses that line and doesnt really know when to use it. I figured it would be good the whole flowering process?

 

[hazy]

Gotta love those weird mutants. I have one going that topped itself. Just didn't make a growth tip and branched out.
A lot of times they grow out of the weirdness and are fine.
I dig your lightproofing dog.

 

[Dr Dog]

Hey
Chubby
I am liking the size of the seedlings right now, of course you get a little anxious waiting for the flowering stage, but I am happy with what I am seeing right now. As for the LK, I use it every feeding for the most part, it apparently helps with nute uptake, and contains cal and mag. I find it really helps my roots get big fast. Thanks for stopping in man

Hazy
Hey thanks dude, the lightproofing is harder than it looks. Yeah same thing with my mutant, I will give them a couple more days, if no change they are getting recycled.

 

[High Lowlander]

Hey Dr D

Just dropping in, gotta lot of catching up to do!

Laterz, Low

 

[Dr Dog]

Hey High

take your time not much goin on here, I will have new flower pics some time next week

 

[High Lowlander]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dr Dog again.

Dammit!!!!
I wanted to give ya major K++ for these pics
I copied some of and set them up as my new fav desktop, hope ya don't mind..
I'll be for those budshots
Laterz, Low

Liquid Karma is the bomb - I use fulvic/humic acids which are as close as I can get to it over here. DD is right, use all through the grow - it makes nutrient uptake more effiecient, meaning more nutes in the plant = bigger plants

I love it when seedlings have those really fat wide leaves early on like your PC, they look great. Are you going to persevere with that mutie? I had one pop with mutie leaves and killed it - can't be doing with them personally. Have you considered making a small reflector for your CFL? It'd make a large difference, would give you up to a 50% increase in lumens, so long as temps ain't an issue - just a thought.

Keep it green mate

 

[chubbynugs]

Does advanced nutes make anything like liquid karma? I am using many things in flower but if i can add one more thing to make it all that better i would add it to the list of things to use.

 

[Dr Dog]

Hey High

No worries about the rep dude, I have lots. Thanks for the kind words regarding my pics, I am guessing you like the pollen chuck then.

Sammet

Yo bro, It would be a bit late for reflector now, My cfl died yesterday, so I am back to the 400 w mh. Not sure if I want to replace it now. I paid like 100 bucks for it like 2 years ago, I think I can get something similar, using smaller cfls, in a bank, like 6 in a row type thing.
Not sure about mutants, I will have to do something with them, but I leaning towards trashing them.

Chubby

Not sure if AN makes anything like that, but I am sure they do, just look for something with fulvic/humic acids.

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey bro, nice looking seedlings. I know big m throws out some mutants, but any of the ones I had turned out growing in naturally after a little while.

B/R

 

[Dr Dog]

Yo B

Yeah I was still up the air about 'em. I will see if teh 400 brings them into normality

Outside update

Outside update

Hey bros

Day off today, so I was out checkin on my plants, and we are supposed to get the remnants of IKE here this evening, so I was just making sure the hatches were batten down

So, not much to say, other than here they are

TANGERINE

I think this one is getting close to being ready, I have a few trics turning, and lots of red hairs, this one was speedy






POLLEN CHUCK








Check this out, MOLD!!!! top cola of pc, I cut it off, no other signs of mold, but it has been so wet here, hard to fight this off. We are supposed to get like 5 days of sun, starting monday, hopefully we get everything dried out

[Core]

thanks for the nice update ...i enjoyed it....:smile:....realy pitty about the mold though....
hope the storm stays away in ya neighborhood ^^

 

[Black Ra1n]

Damn bro nice update... why the hell can you post pics??? I can't do shit.

B/R

 

[ZeusOGrefugee]

great update Dog..your outdoor girls are lovin the sunshine, I can tell!!!! They all look great man, IDK what else to say!!!Splendid work...Peace bro

- Z

 

[Sammet]

Love the outdoor photos - sorry you got a bit of rot mate, not too much gone off the top I hope. Lucky I've got a male outside - the amount of rain we've had here would have rotted it long ago. How much longer do you think they have to go? Cores genetics always look stellar.

Keep safe mate

 

[Dr Dog]

yo Core

Not sure if I got the storm, it was certainly windy last night though. Yeah the mold sucks, I was worried about it for a while, but it looks like I will have some sun for a few days with no rain forecast. Thanks for the visit bro.

Z
Yeah they seem to be enjoying it, I am very impressed with the ecsd, she is just shinning outside, nice and tall, getting some nice buds too.

Sammet
Nah man, Just a bit off the top, if you look at the pc picture, it is the uppermost cola that is affected, so basically they are all teh same height now, I would guess 5 inches of cola I chopped off.
As for how much longer, maybe a week or 2 on teh tangerine, I am not sure about the others, teh pc has some weight to put on
