K.I.S.S - A new way of life!

20g of snowcap and 22g of sour diesel. Dried for 5days in my dryer between 72-78 f and 40-65% rh. The snowcap is medical grade. Sour Diesel is no slouch. Both pack a blast of a head high. Still not cured so not to full potential. Made 8 cuts/clones 2 nights ago All sour diesel and snow cap, our new found treasure I also harvested the ssh that was in black pot, the last remaining plant from my original location the resin gland profile is not nearly as impressive as the sc and sd. I am totally fucking loving life and this sport/hobby! Great vibes

are you useing ph up also or testing at all? with the maxi.. also whats the color of the water mix. mine needed 3ml ph up and 2 silica to 5.8 after sitting 4hrs the numbers jumped around all lower again they where pink and most turned pale yellow over time so i mixed 2 more one stayed pink/red one turned yellow very stange
 
No we don't use any Ph up. That's what the silica is for. Our water is 5.8-6.0 to start after maximum and 2.5-3.5 ml of pro silicate and were good. If you test right away its an inaccurate reading wait am.hour or two for mixing your nutes and it will settle. My mix always stays pink
Idk I think u might be using older maxivthat the dye faded out. Its still usable though

And snocap and SD in front.

No final numbers on weight that look at these guys they are big. they turned out a helluva lot better than last time but still hermied on week 6. every single 1 of them has done that to me now so I think we are going to eradicate the strain. sticking with sour diesel in snow cap for now until we go to the seed store
 
Supplemental co2.. idk if any of you guys have seen this but this is cool. Supposed to be enough to keep a 4x4 room at ideal levels. 30$ and supposed to last 6 months we'll see how it works.

Everything in veg room is going. Waiting on clones to root. We're ready to put this 1000 watt light up in flower room and get rolling. .

So I had a statuary pump laying around and I wanted make me a cloner. Spent $30 between the hydro store and Lowes and this what I got. Followed rumple's lets build a cloner just smaller scale. Can't wait to put my "clone devil " to use.

As well as filling my new aerocloner full i am also still taking rockwool and rapid rooter cuts,
picture.php

We got screwed big time about 2-3 weeks ago and had a whole bunch of plants all turn hermie.IDK if it was stress or if they were just determined male from the beginning, but all the SSH cuts i took,6, all turned to seed. so we will be hurting for a few weeks in about a month or so. SO i am getting as many clones as possible.And trying to get our grow back to prepetual. Waiting on the clone devil to do its work and Clones to hit that super growth point.
picture.php


This is all the girls that are left in flower after all the hermies were culled out. we have 2 snowcaps and 1 SourDiesel .Pretty plants but not near the veg size we wanted to see.but they have nice buds. We didnt really have enough time to veg them like we wanted. I think we are going to take more of a SOG approach. Seems like all this LST takes too long and really doesnt show very much in yield.

11-02 UPDATE

The three ready to be harvested soon. 2 snowcaps and 1 sour diesel. These are the three from post #18 Its really the first time i have seen the plant near its final stage of life because the majority of the leaves are yellow.On my previous, it was not this way.

We had to add our strongest clones just bc we HAVE to. Got to keep this cycle thing going or we are gonna be medicineless for a while. So thats why im bumping the cloning into turbo mode so this doesnt happen again.

This next pic i took because i was not sure what kind of deficiency this was or what ? I know we nute burned them a bit but this looks different than anything i have seen. was wondering if anybody had some input.??

if anybody has a android phone or any phone for that sake check this out. I used this 30x loupe and put it directly in front of the lens on my camera on my phone and it worked great.

VEG UPDATE 11-10

VEG UPDATE 11-10

So we had a huge major bump a few weeks ago In having 6 of our expected flowering plants turn hermie. It was a big mistake but in turn, i have been trying to crank out the clones. We have had to put in alot smaller plants into flower than we wanted but we have to keep the cycle rolling.

I made an aerocloner and a bubble cloner and have them both slammed full in hope of turning out lots of clones.

Still have a few Rapid rooters and rockwool going. I introduced some MYKOS into all of my new transplants. The guys at grow store gave me a few packs to see how it works in perlite/vermiculite. All the clones are coming from these two mothers (SNowcap and Sour Diesel) they are under a 32w cfl 6500k and thats all they need. They spit out 10-14 clones a piece per week. I kno they are getting light from the t5 as well but 1 well placed light is keeping these two moms, GROWING!!
picture.php

And we are trying for more of a SOG grow, as me and my partner found that SuperCropping and LST really didnt give us much more for the time. So a little LST and Smaller containers we are striving for more plants. We are using 2L(partners idea) and 1gal buckets from dollar tree. The only good thing about the 2L's is that you can see when roots have hit the rez. But together i think we can jam a bunch of these guys under our 150 and 250 hps.You can see the moms, and the bubble cloner filled here as well. Right now i think my partner is overwatering the veg closet not allowing the roots to get down to the rez, so i am monitoring that. We are cutting to 2 final Snowcaps in bloom tomorrow. Ill get some harvest pics , because this stuff is beautiful.

Well me and the Partner have been in disagreement about how we want to go about this. I'm not gonna go into detail but bc of my lack of time over there and us trying to do SOG, which i've never done, has resulted in some sickly spindly looking plants. Compared to what i have pulled out of here before.

I'm gonna leave it at that and just update some pics not much time today...

Yes those two monsters to the left are my Snowcap and SourD mothers. I know this goes against all that is said. But were gonna try and flower them out. Its our only chance to get a decent yield in next few months!

Oh and as for my cloners here is opinion....

I love both the bubble cloner and aerocloner bucket, I MADE BOTH! The bubble cloner seems to be working faster, plus. Its also see thru so you can view root growth as needed, plus. I can fit 21 clones into a small rubbermaid made container, plus. Roots get tangled because its so small, minus. The aerocloner is much more work. Needs to be changed every 14 days, cleaned out. Nozzles cleaned out etc. The root mass seems to be the same out of both cloners. I don't really find the net pots and neoprene discs an advantage like i thought i would. My foam pool noodle pieces for the smaller one works fine. Here is where i can see the aerocloner being better. If i want to leave them in here for a while longer and get MASSIVE clones I could there is plenty of room for the 10 clone roots. But in my case since we are switching to hempys really huge roots is not a great thing. SO IN CONCLUSION, the Bubble was a lot cheaper to make , a lot easier to clean, and more space efficient, it gets my vote.

been a busy ass mofo lately. Lost my job at the first of the year, so Im back in school and trying to get my schedule adjusted between home, school, grow house.. Im not gonna go into detail on everything thats happened,. mainly just post pics of updates and the couple SMALL harvest we have had. It looks as if my location might be falling thru after 8 months now. The owners are way behind on mortgage and I might have to relocate my equipment sometime soon. But for now.. Hempy all day the K.I.S.S way!
