Chem's Grow Oddessey 2010........

Well, it's been a while since I really chronicled any of the stuff I was growing. I made a move and had a summer filled with a lot of bumps, but now things are back to smooth and it's time to start posting up some more. I think the last time did a grow log I was much more on top of "exacts". The last number of runs I probably couldn't have told what day I was even on. I was just watching the trich's really.

This time around I'm cleaning it up a bit, I've learned a few things and I growing way more strains than I should. I had about 85% males on my last germ sessions, so I went a bit crazy and popped a ton of stuff figuring I would have to find some good moms with numbers like that.

Anyway, on to the details..


I run 3 rooms in my house. 2 Flower and 1 Veg.

Room #1 is really divided up into 2 area's, though there are no walls or borders in between. They share the same light cycle and enviornment, just different stages. I call them rooms #1 & #1.2.

Room#1

This basically consists of 3 plants that range from 5.5-6.5 feet tall. All are around the end of week 5 and I'll get some pics up when the lights are on. The plants are

-Chem '91 x SOL Bubblegum
-Dieseldrella (NYCD x C99)
- SAGE

Here's a sneak peak of the Drella:



Room #1.2

This area has about 10 plants evenly divided up between Double Diesel, AK47, and Cough. I use to run everything in a coco/hydroton mix, but I have since phased that out and am now running Roots Organics Soil.

Both these sections receive CO2 and the hoods are air cooled. There is both an air conditioner and a dehumidifier in this room. Temps are kept between 69-80 degrees with the average at 78. Humidity is around 40% most of the time.

It has 2400 Watts running.


Room #2

This is where it's going off right now. This is just about the last of my coco plants. This room has air conditioning and that's it. It's in a different section of the home, so the humidity stays constant around 48%.

All of these plants are about to enter week six. It is a much smaller space than Room #1 and only holds 6 plants under 800 watts.

There are 3 Purple Kush (Rascals O.G. x Gorilla Grape)
This is the Grape pheno:

This is the more OG pheno:

This plant here is a plant I've been wanting to grow pretty much since I started paying attention to genetics and what I personally want in them. I have 1 mother of this lady here. It is the Chemdog#4 x Sour Diesel. I think the #4 is my favorite in the m Chem area and this pheno lays a bit more on the Chem side as you can see in the pictures.

Lastly, we have the Strawberry Chiesel (UK Cheese x Strawberry Diesel)

Next, I have an area in my prep room outside Room #1 that has my germination trays and new seedlings under flourescents.

In a storage area next to that I keep 3 x 20 gallon tubs that hold water. I bring it in from the hose and let it sit for at least 24 hours before using and there are multiple air stones in each. I'd say I go through about 120-150 gallons a week.




Upstairs is my small veg area. I'd say it's about 5x10-ish. I have moms in the back, vegging females in the middle and seedlings/ un-sexed plants up-front.

Here are a few shots of Ultimate Starwberry Diesel I have starting to branch out.






That's about it. I plan on updating the flowering plants often and getting into the new stuff in this perpetual style set-up. Here's the full layout of what's going on:

Flower

Week 6 (starting Monday) - Purple Kush, Strawberry Chiesel, & Chemdog4 x SD

Week 4-5 - Dieseldrella, Chem91xBubblegum (I've been calling it Bubbledog and will probably call it that from here on out. It's easier.), and SAGE. The SAGE is weird and I have no real idea where it's at. It looks fine, but it's been in there forever now.

Week 2-3 - AK47, Cough, Double Diesel


VEG

Closest up for flower are: OG Kush x Deep Chunk, Ultimate Strawberry Diesel, and Dali (West Coast Dawg x C99), and a few DinaFem Critical +. I'm just waiting until they are big enough to get a few clones off each to see what I want to keep.

The rest are in some form of the seedling stage, but I will try to list them closest to flower to furthest:

Grape Sorbet
Rascals Chem
White Otis
c99
Godberry
Double Sour Diesel HAze
ChemdogD x Sour Diesel
Callaway Blue
Mystic Gem
and a Gypsy Nirvana Breeders Auction Mix.


Thanks for paying attention to those who do. I'll try best to outline my routine as I go and answer any questions I can.

Peace...... :watchplant:

Those look amazing! That is going to be some crunchy medicine. Can't wait to see the rest of the journey, Frodo style. Keep the pics coming!

Thanks THBZ! Things should really get going on the purple kushes and chiesels as I start the Overdrive this week. Many more pics to come.

Well, sorry it's been a while. I've been busy, but I've also encountered a strange problem in room #2 unfortunately.

Two new things happened in the last week. #1. I bombed the room with a fungicide bomb. I did this to another room though and there was no problem. #2. I started Overdrive. I have used this product on several runs, but it was always from a small sample bottle. I just bought a new bottle, so maybe they changed the formula? I use to do fine at full strength, so that's what I fed. I think this was the problem. Too much Overdrive, even thought the PPM was right.

You'll see what I mean in the pictures, if anyone is actually looking at this ever. Not much for comments. Anyway, the fan leaves have all curled up like they lost all their N and twisted up like a PH prob.

I flushed each plant with several gallons of ph'd water, the first round containing FloraKleen and the rest Hygrozyme and H2O2.

The Buds are all fine, but there is a heavy smell of "damp grass" from the rotten leaves. I removed only what came off easily. They had the day of flush two days of rest and water and today I fed a nutrient solution of 950 ppm with half strength Overdrive.

Everything starts week 7 tomorrow. Here's the damage, but you'll see the buds are fine.

The Purple Kush's and the D-con all have only about 2-2.5 weeks left. The Chemdog and Chiesel usually go between 65-75 respectively. Not sure what to do, but I flushed well and I'm close to the end, so I'm just going to keep going.


The veg area has a ton of stuff rocking.

Here are the moms:

4sd, BubbleDog, Purple Kush, Bubba, Flo, Sharks Breath, & Deep Chunk x OG Kush.

This was the only Shark's Breath Clone that made it out of a ton of people I knew. Thank God. I've wanted to run Shark's Breath forever.

DSC03306.jpg


The rest are just seedlings, or vegging Cherry Chunk, Big Tex White Russian x Blueberry, & Critical+.

I'll update more as things proceed and when the lights come on downstairs.....:wave:

Can no one help me out here? I called AN about the Overdrive but got no response. I've used it forever, so I'm wondering if that can really be it. All buds fine though. Overdrive at 1/2 strength.

Bummer about the problems. If it makes you feel any better, I've been using the stuff for about a year and have yet to have that problem. I know AN has messed around with a bunch of their formulas, but as far as I know the overdrive is the same as it used to be.

The buds themselves look great!

Sorry for the long absence on updates. Been workin' an such. Anyway, onto the goods.

In Room #2 we have the Purple Kush's, PKV2, finishing up. This is about Day 52. I think I'm a little behind on that judging by the plants actually.

Strawberry Chiesel Day 52. Package say's 65+, but we'll see. Like I said, I could be a bit behind.

You can see a ton of Diesel in these.

Chemdog#4 x Sour D

I'd say this is pretty much Chemdog #4 for the most part. There is a lot more of that here than the SD.

I love taking pic's of that one. Day 52 of about 70.



Down in Room #1 we have a couple things nearing the finish line as well.


This is the D-Con. (L.A. Confidential x NYCD) About 2 weeks left here. She took a 3 week "vacation" from actually growing when she had fungus gnats, but I Azamax'ed those little fuckers into oblivion. She's back on point now.

This is by far the most interesting and beautiful strain I've grown in a while. It's just a dream to look at.

This and the Dieselrella coming up are thriving at about a max of 1200-1300 ppm. I never usually see a reason to go over 1000, but these needed it.

This is the Diselrella. Soma's NYCD x C99. Day 52 of 70-77.

I know it's been a while guys, but I've been very busy. I have a bunch of goodies vegging right now ( White Otis, C99, Silver Dog, ChemxSD) and I've been taking down most of what you've been seeing. The Chemdog#4 x Sour Diesel came doen this morning and here is what see looked like:

Sometime around week 9 she just stopped growing, then around week 10 there was no more swell. I let her go slightly longer, but there wasn't any point. There had been no development in trich's or swell for a few days, so it was time. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. :party:

I'll be checking in tonight with more pic's when the lights come on.....

Very nice brutha i just popped 10/10 in 1.5 days of the REZ 4SD i'm hoping to find a heavy yeilding/super potent mommy in there and even breed a seed stock off of the most vigorous boy and girl of the bunch... I'm interested in the 4SD cuz i've never personally seen it anywhere in the CO clubs so i think it will be a unique and welcomed strain for my patients at least
