Here goes.

I've got a handful of flavors on the backburner, which will slowly be making their way into the oven.

First up: Mystery #1. Not sure what this is yet - was mistakenly un-tagged, so it'll be a bit of a surprise. I'm hopeful we can identify it once it gets a little more personality.

I'm probably jumping the gun a little bit on this one, could stand to veg for another week or two or three, but I'm itchin', so let's go.

Mystery #1:

Last night was first night of 12/12.

On deck: Green Candy, .. Gonna let this one veg for a couple weeks, then into the oven she will go

After the Candy, one of these candidates will be going also:

Headband:

Purple Diesel:

Vision Cloud:

As things finish up, whatever hasn't yet gone in will go in to replace as things come out..

The more the merrier! And, all, any (and all) input is welcome. First organic grow ever, first grow period in 10+ years.

FIM'd the Vision Cloud, FIM'd the Headband, .. The Green Candy was FIM'd last week, as was the Purple Diesel..

Getting things in order for down the road here. Vertical space is at somewhat a premium - the hut is 60" tall..

HB was looking a little funky - I noticed a kink in the stem a couple days after I tied it over.. When I tied it over, everything looked fine, the next day was fine, .. But apparently it kinked at some point. The tip was a little gnarled lookin', but it came back..

Hey Silv

I've got this 8 outlet power strip, where 4 outlets are supposed to be controlled via a digital timer. But, I was down there last night as the sun went down, and when the ballast kicked off, so did eeeeeverything that was on a timer. (Exhaust, circulating fan..)

No major damage, but it does need some 'nvestigatin'.

I still have a Blue Dragon cutting in a cube under the dome - it's taking its own sweet time to pop some roots, a little behind schedule vs. the others, .. but this morning, I noticed the tip on it is all gnarled lookin'. Will post a picture later, I think.. Any guesses? (based on my awesomely descriptive explanation?)

BB, tr1ck_, Canna, Waco Texas Branch Davidians 68, esteemed gentlefolk from the et cetera

Thanks for joinin'. Let's see what we can do here. I will be leanin' on y'all for some help on our way.

I've not yet set my brain on a specific mix for flowering food. Thus far (for veg, for my reefer and veggies), I've been using teas with EWC and MaxiCrop 1-0-4 granulated kelp..

I've got some Indonesian guano for the flower power, but I'm not decided yet on the application (or how often). I've done some reading that says that top dressing with guano is the most effective - any opinions/experience?

And, whether I top dress or brew with it, what's a good dosage amount?

I've got some Liquid Fish for the feedin's too, although I'm a little sketched to use it. I used it (half strength), and some EWC, on some old Star Trek seeds I'd started (and since pitched), and something in that batch burned the Star Treks. Any mileage here?

Below is the Blue Dragon clone with the funked out tip. Seems to be fine now, but any idea as to what's going on? Things have been consistent for these guys - temps ~79, moist, humid, domed, under a shop light/fluoros..

ALSO, while it's on my mind FWIW

This current gal flowering is in a 3 gallon smartpot. The others will be in 5 gallon smartpots - with a bit more vegetation on 'em when they go in to cook.

EDIT: Oh. And molasses. Been brewin' with a bit of that at all times, with urrythang.

Watered this morning, still halfassed decided on the feeding. I was initially planning to FEED every other water, and on the off-days, water with set-out water and molasses.

However, I'm wondering if I can stand to feed more, .. So I halfassed it this morning - top dressed with about 1 tsp high P guano, then watered w/ the set-out water and molasses, ..

Next meal will consist of EWC, MaxiCrop 1-0-4, and high P guano (brew-stylee this time). Maybe a splash o' Liquid Fish. Input? Missing anything?

...by the seat of my pants!

Try to read your plants, (I suck at this) but give them what they want/need,.... too much too soon can cause more harm than good.

Less is more,.... but if administered correctly, more is MORE :joint:

Green Candy, tied

Seems like it's about to be bushin' out like crazy. Somethin' going on here, though. Some spotty yellowing on the leaves..

This is likely next into the oven, in about 10 days or so.

Nice man. I have a feeling you got these clones at Cabrillo St. Walk In in Costa Mesa, eh? :D I'm local, as well

I'll definitely stay subscribed to your thread. Everything looks great. I have a similar grow going. 400W HPS in a tent in my closet. Check out my grow from my recent posts!

Not even close - I'm far enough away that in my 400W, <6 ft2 tent, with a 170 CFM fan dialed back to about 20%, the temp 10" under the light is a balmy 71 degrees today.

:wave:

Oh wow lucky you. The ambient temperature is about 80* right now for me. With my 400w in a cooltube, same size tent, 450 CFM tent at full blast, it is 85 in my tent :(

I have never seen green candy or blue dragon kush ANYWHERE except this particular clinic. Funky haha.
