Day 20 for the blue burmese

Day 20 for the blue burmese

I could not be happier with the progress. I feel the improved cab design is really helping out.

Lookin pretty good Nice purpling.

 

[Nicoli]

Nice mad, hope ya get a plentiful harvest from this..

 

[mad librettist]

Thanks guys.

I guess the purple is from the blueberry?

My other little cabs.

My other little cabs.

Ok I've got pics of my scrog coming up, but I wanted to show progress on my little cabs.

mother/seedling cab: Some blue burmese bagseed clones (reveg) to give away mostly, and the mother. Edit: oh yeah, and the mazar reveg.

Here is one I'm excited about. It's Haze x skunk. I just transplanted it after this shot, quite rootbound. Anyway, it's in some dirt that flowered a plant already, which I only amended with a bit of bokashi compost, worm casting, and worms. I left the roots in and just waited. It's been 12/12 a week maybe? shit forgot to write it down. I burned her bad with the lights in the mother cab, but I had nowhere to put her.

here is the big bin update. I could not be happier with this as a rubbermaid, and as a bagseed grow

 

[mad librettist]

interesting... I have a little bit of dark coloration of calyxes on the tips of my buds.

Temps at the screen are about ambient, but maybe I am too close to the lights? I have no foxtailing. I can't really measure the temps there, but i know the temp changes very quickly as you get within 2 inches of the lights.

I also thought "what if that hermie male I thought was sterile actually did pollinate, and I had it on my clothes. ack!".

 

[mad librettist]

doh!

my one haze x skunk is a MALE!

 

[hgl]

Awesome grow man! This look so much like the original design of RedGreenery!!!

I love it!

 

[mad librettist]

thanks man. Here's some more pics. I got this dark coloration on some tips now.

Heh. They were the closest objects so I just figured why not. I was hoping we could see haze x skunk next, but it's looking like it will be more of the same. I had only one, and it showed it was male today. Hoping fro some sativa dom smoke, I just soaked my last pacific mix seed and a few menage a trois.

Here are some random pics from today, day 29

Dense, Dark and absolutely lovely.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

whow they be looken very very dank. kick ass grow u have here.

 

[mad librettist]

Thanks pedro and cheesebuds.

So I opened the cab today and for some reason one of the buds is almost touching a light. Maybe it was the worm castings slurry from 2 days ago? but my canopy is suddenly uneven

Also, some buds are taking a blunt shape, instead of the pointy I always have with this.

Here is the unruly canopy trained back down.

And here are the two together.

That lighting is really kickin' in now!

wouldnt a 250w hps put out alot more lumens, take up alot less space, use half the electricity and grow more dense buds? not to mention costing less than the cfls.

Im confused as to why youd choose to use 500 watts of cfl

nice looking plants anyway

 

[mad librettist]

I don't have enough height for hps.

Next cab, next cab.

 

[ScrubNinja]

You're probably drawing somewhere around 800w, interestingly! Do your bulbs have a pf rating?

 

[b00m]

Hey mad, that's off the fucking hook mate, loving that dank chunk action from down here, how's the smells?? must be hitting your face like a sledgehammer. Cranking grow, love it.
Peace an Respectz

 

[mad librettist]

hang on, I'm having software issues, just did some pics.

smells are insane, but it's not a skunky thing. More fruity and perfumed.

Scrub, what is the pf rating? 800w lol. The buds are insane though. Sweet, sweet diminished returns. No complaints while smoking, but plenty when you run out.

ok:

Check it out, my soil must have mysteriously run out of nutes this week, because suddenly, one plant has a yellow leaf (first ever), and it's getting more purple. Biology heads say the plant has shut down or reduced root exudes, and the microbes providing the nutes aren't growing in the rhizosphere so much:

ok some more. I just did bud shots this time. the one in the smaller pot is showing smaller buds, but they look more concentrated somehow.

first the one in the bigger pot (shown above)

now the smaller container:
