Just have to start with thanking ICMAG for being here and allowing us to have the opportunity to share and Grow...pun intended. With that being said here is my next grow. I will be using 2 mothers which are Bubba Ho Tep, and Strawberry Diesel F3. I am goin to scrog them both and their both going into airpots. The Hood will be either a Radiant 8 from hydrofarm or a xxxtreme 8" from CAP I believe. Im leaning more towards the xxxtreme 8" with no glass with a fan blowing on the bulb with a duct attached to one side and hung next to my filter to create some air movement in the hood. What do ya think about the hood options. They will have plenty of room in my 4x8 hydrohut.

The Name of the thread is steming from the work I am about to put forth in popping a shitzel of seeds I made of BHT x King Louie XIII Og, BHT x Strawberry Diesel F3, and BHT x Green Dragon. This work will commence when we move to our next location. Stay tuned for some killer crosses.

I had a case of mold from the King Louie XIII Og that just kept pumping out so I killed her off completely and I will be Bleaching and using a Ozone Gennie for 8 hours to kill everything off before I start this next flowering.

Heres a few pics.

looking good AS, very neat, tidy set-up. A quick question is that drip irrigation hooked up to pump in the res? if so are you using a fairly small pump for it ?? I only ask because I'm planning (hopefully) on using drip irrigation on a small# of plants & was hoping to sqeak by using a fairly small pump myself...as its what I've got at the moment. thanks !!

A small pump will do for a short line. I cant find/dont wanna dig through boxes of equip., so im using a massive pump from my ebb & gro bucket system hooked up like u said. Straight to a pump in a rubbermaid, an i dont use drippers. The stakes are free flowing type so they wont ever clog.

Plants were gettin a funky K def. so i added some epsom salt at 1/2 tsp. per gallon an they perked up nicely. Gettn the light sunday so things will be moved around with the ducting to make room for this massive hood.

Day 1 of 12/12

Day 1 of 12/12

I cant believe how fast the Bubba Ho Tep is filling in. Snapped a few shots tonight of the action.



Heres an inside shot by the Strawberry Diesel f3. She is a tall beast that should be fun taming with a lil bit of twist ties an some super croppin.



an a close up of some of the BHT in the scrog.

what a difference.....

what a difference.....

So much has filled in the last few daze. I've been foliar spraying with a kelp solution the last week to add some K besides the Epsom. They seem to be lovin it with temps sittin around 75-78 with no ac going. Im able to get the hood 12" from the canopy and the diesel is even closer with about 6 " to spare for now. Gave them a flush 2 days ago an the next day the got their first dose of floralicious at 1 ml a gallon with their normal rhizotonic at 2 ml a gallon, 6/9 a gallon micro/bloom, and a 1/2 tsp epsom salt a gallon. Gonna add molasses into the mix tomorrow an start with protek silica supp. I'll throw up some pics next week to show the difference. The Diesel is just gettin outta hand with its stretch, gonna have to work some ninja trainin on her. :tiphat:

Its Decapitation x Insane Banana Kush f9......

Decap. Is a Bubba Kush Coffee pheno i believe, and the Banana Kush i think is something they used to cross a couple different strains to. They as in Maj.Pothead, a fellow IC member that blessed me with these creations a while back. This is a Banana Kush leaning pheno that purps up if ya let her go 9, but can be done at 8. Rock hard is right but it cures to a sticky icky greatness, the kind scissors just smash into b4 they cut.
