Hydro-Soil, I only removed the 2 bulbs cuz I couldn't fit them so I am going to put in 2 26w 6500K and hopefully will get better results due to the spectrum being more like natural sunlight......

dotblunt, Well I have Grand Daddy Purple going(which is what was supposed to be Thunder Goo).. I have Querkle cuts rooting in my bubble cloner and I'm getting some Trainwreck x Silver Haze!!! and the legendary Mendo Purps oh and can't forget the hard to get Bubba Kush!

Jaw, you know what bro I probably am,I still try to stay away from grow shops so I wont be goin with Ready Gro Coco and Flora Nova.. BUT! I can get my Fox Farm nutes and Black Gold brand Coco Blend at my Emigh/Ace Hardware so thats what I'm going to use after I use up my FFOF but I'm also wanting to go all organic so I'm trying to do all organic coco and use tea's so we'll see what happens in the next few months...

good to see the coco kickin some ass for ya! plants look great!

 

[leaddraft]

Those are some nice Lil Plants, there Thunderkel..

You've got "air holes" Poked about where on the bottles? bottom, mid-way etc?
Looks Like each of those Plants will give you a lil better than 7/8+ grams each...
Great Job!...

Your fucking grow looks clean bro! It's nice to watch someone get better and better at growing. Keep it up.

Why thank you my friend, I feel I'm getting control of my grows down pretty well and since I got what I expected using DrBuds style of nute line up. I can tell it was cheap compared to Fox Farm and GH but it still produced good smoke but I can see already how much better my coco grow is density wise and smell and it's even turning color better. So I am taking what I learned from his grows as far as lighting and pot size ect but I can't wait to have my whole cab full of quality soil and nutes which I have been doing lately and haven't burnt anything and my ladies are happy After I dial in all my strains oops forgot I got my Querkle clone!!! and a bunch of Trainwreck x Silver Haze cuts that are rooting right now and the TWSH is so lovely! very nice daytime weed and damn near quadruples it's size when flowered so I'm sure I can get a budsicle out of it from 3" - 5" clones so stay tuned for those but yea after dialed I'm going to start using just Black Gold Coco Blend OMRI listed and compost tea's so I can be all organic I will post the recipe I'm going to use so if anyone wants to give it a try before me go for it but I got it from a Skunk Mag so here we go..

Veg Tea -
Gallon of distilled water
1tsp of unsulfered molasses 1-0-5
1tsp Alaska Fish Emulsion 5-1-1
1cup of worm castings
1tsp of Happy Frog or Peace of Mind All Purpose 5-5-5

Flower Tea -
Gallon of distilled water
1tsp of Happy Frog or Peace of Mind All Purpose 5-5-5
1tsp High Phosphorus Bat Guano 0-4-0
1/2 tsp dried kelp/seaweed

also my camera's batteries are dead so I can't take pics right now but today one of the soil ladies broke when flushing cuz I didn't plant her deep enough
she was at 7 1/2 weeks so it's not that bad but we all know the coco gals are gonna win anyway

I put 8 holes on the bottoms of my bottles and I try to use only 20oz Gatorade or Vitamin Water bottles cuz they are the same and have flat bottoms and don't tip from heavy plants like Mountain Dew Bottles and thanks I hope I get a nice yield off these coco bitches

 

[superjoint]

umm That Must smell Out of this world

 

[Thundurkel]

good to see the coco kickin some ass for ya! plants look great!

Oh you know it is! I'm hoping that the Black Gold Coco Blend soil will give me just as good results cuz like I've said a few times I'm going with that and Fox Farm nutes and I've heard from a few guys thats used FFOF for years and they like the BGCB more cuz it's easier to control your nutes and easier to flush so that with a organic tea or a all organic nute line up of the Alaska Fish Emulsion,Botnicare Liquid Karma, and Fox Farm Big Bloom all the way through but we will see what the future holds I just know I love growing cannabis and I'm damn good at it so stay tuned for more fun!!!!

 

[clay]

where are you getting your coco? local?

 

[Thundurkel]

Yea I will be getting it at a local hardware store

 

[totaln00b]

How many more weeks til harvest?

 

[Thundurkel]

well they are being flushed this week which is a full 8 weeks come Monday and thats when I usually harvest but I want to take them to 9 or possibly 10 weeks and see how much more purple they will turn for me cuz since I switched to Flora Nova and Fox Farm nutes instead of the Shultz and Fish Emulsion line up they are turning purple earlier and smell better too theres this lighting system I want to get also which is a 2ft T5 setup with a 150w HPS in the middle of it! I think that would be soooo perfect for a micro grow but I still like my CFL's and the bud's on my coco ladies are bigger than anything else Ive done with my setup so I may just stick to cfl's and a organic coco system

 

[en-lighten-ment]

I didn't realize you had this thread going there is no link for it in your signiture. Looks good though I will def. start reading this one.

 

[Thundurkel]

Ok so I've been slacking on this thread and I had to harvest one of my Coco ladies cuz I found a Banana!!!! or as Soma would say it tossed out a Emergency Device!! But yea I fucked around with a 13/11 cycle late in flower and I'm sure thats why it happened and so far it was just the one.. I have some pics to share I would have more on here but the last few times I tried to upload I had problems so all my new shit is on Roll It Up under MisturBomdiggity anyway on with the show..



This was in week 7











these are from week 7 also

 

[Polishdankchron]

Looks daaaaank!

 

[Thundurkel]

Thanks it's my favorite strain at the moment I wish I knew exactly what it is if anyone has grown Urkle or Grand Daddy tell me if this is either one??

 

[smokeymacpot]

id like to know your GPW from a full cab.

 

[Rastatrue]

Kusheo,

That's a fantastic grow. You really got the buds to fatten up! What were your flowering times? I've been letting things go longer but am really impresed with CFl lights. They work just fine without the expense and temp problems. A low tech grow is so rewarding. Also very good at cloning/starting place. good job! I know you can't wait to get the next on going. 7 grams has been my benchmark for success as long as i can remember too! you can get that up to 12 with effort. finding the right t plants that work best in the enclosed space. When you find that one, fill up you cabinet with it's clones. Great Job.
one love

 

[justanotherbozo]

hey Thunderkel, sorry i haven't had a chance to introduce myself, it's just
i don't like to jump in until i read through the whole log and i just haven't
caught up yet, lol.

i lost my access for a while and i just haven't been able to get through all
the great threads here, and yours is one i haven't finished yet.

anyway, the reason i'm jumping in now rather than waiting until i finish your
thread is that i've been pointing some noob's in your direction and i wanted
to let you know about it. lol, i've read enough of your threads to know how
far you've come and what a great job you've done documenting your progress
so anyone i come across interested in micro-growing, you're one of the shining
examples i use to illustrate how well it works so i hope you don't mind.

anyway, keep up the great work man, you're doin' a bang-up job!

peace bro, and stay safe!
