Killer revegs! Nice little forest there.

Those SLHxMMs do look pretty hot. Im not sure If Id try calling phenos yet. The distance from light could be a factor - and the SLH stayed real short, then went skyward in the 1st 3 weeks of 12/12. The MM male was getting huge too - outpacing his sisters. He was very thick stemmed.

The leaflets on yours all look wide and arranged to give the leaf an overall circular shape, very much like the MM. SLH had huge fans with narrow leaflets.

Lou used multiple parentals and said MM dominated in all the beans he popped to date. Looks like that's whats showing in these beans too.

Took the MM at 9, might go 10 - SLH was taken at 11, might go 12. My guess would be 10 weeks on the cross.

REALLY bummed :(

We lost a legend - DonJuanMatus :(

I hope the captain doesn't stay with the sinking ship and is going to ready to set sail again soon sir!

Next time something that good comes up in a thread, im going to keep it documented for myself. His bulk rockwool is a game changer and that perpetual mini orchard practically was epic.

I hope he writes a book lol

Day 7

Day 7

Vintage is now in training! Has the fastest rooting clones too - but the worst vigor. after the flowering of this plant i'll determine if I want to keep it at all. (I bet no) ha!



The Yumbolt with a bigger pot - dedicated positioning - and an automated feeding system, coupled with (hopefully) good genetics - I could probably pull over half a pound off this one plant alone.
I'm going to take a stand alone picture soon before its too big bushy and will get damaged. Biggest plant I've grown in my lifetime.



The Jack33, Night Terror OG, and Blackwater OG have all been pruned and lollipopped like the entire garden - everyone got some attention.



TWO of the cali connect freebies turned out to be males! Culled yesterday upon discovery - MORE SPACE! Can't wait to have a really easy mono crop from clones that are trained properly for height control and shit with a screen probably and automated feeding system. SOON!

R/O water first - New Ventilation - the duct - need these plastic thermoflo elbow things to hold it rigid and then i'll get a new fan/filter combo!

Also new Bulbs are in order - probably after this flower round or sometime in the middle of it.

Upgrades are soon to come - like the filter - Pretty sure these SCxSSSDH will be WAY to stinky.

1 more failed clone - it was one of the Cali Connect boys - the universe really works well some times

Nice little beasts bro. I want to see that 1/2 lb.

Do you have a pair of grow glasses to protect your peepers? If so, try taking your pics through them - they'll be a bit closer to true color. Not too much to do about light intensity without using an editing program.

Thanks and I'll try - the 3 gallon pot dries up every day - so you know shes chugging and could chug more! I'm probably going to have to do some SERIOUS lollipopping soon - it might be a disaster if I don't.

Thanks for hte reminder of hte glasses. Thats the first thing before upgrades I'm going to get

Method7 or R/O system?

Method7 or R/O system?

Method Seven Grow Room Optics - The Resistance HPS | Perfect Color and Epic Clarity Under HPS Lights

OR

Hydro-Logic 31040 200-GPD Stealth-RO200 Reverse Osmosis Filter

I'm thinking glasses first. But this tap water sure is holding my babies back a bit. Right now I have to choose because the Bou/Bay are back in action and that means I got some love to send in and I still wanna live comfortable/be able to pay for more home restoration needs if they arise so I have to choose. Which would you get first?

Thanks everyone! :thank you:

Saw those and the reviews are bad. Also would like to have something worth investing in and not requiring an upgrade.

I don't even use sun glasses and I really should start... but I'm leaning on getting the the R/O first so my Ph perfect Nutes are actually useful and I don't need to ph anymore :D Plus it'll save 50$ every two/3 months for a zerowater filter so everyone inside/out will get quality water. What do u do with waste water?

Lots of shit to update.

The camera is gone tomorrow so back to crappy pictures till I can borrow it again. But I'm going to take a lot before it leaves.

I think I need stitches in my thumb - was lollipopping the yumbolt w/ a utility razor blade and you get the rest.

I think I saved the 2 Sweet pink grapefruit testers :)

Day 10 Week 2

Day 10 Week 2

Typical feeding regime of Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom pH perfect A+B @ 32ml per 4 gallons; 3 gallon containers get 1 liter of nutes - 6inch square pots get 300ml of nutes. Everyone is fed twice per lights on cycle - if I can, right as lights turn on - only 3 days haven't done this so far - and then 5-7 hours after lights on the second feed.

Drain to waste is getting old - can't wait to upgrade to something automated!

Additives used so far have been:
AN Bud Ignitor Application rate : 2ml per L Only week 1/2 - not every feed
AN Rhino Skin Application rate : 2ml per L Finishing this - 1 feed left
AN Bud Candy Application rate : 2ml per L Finishing this - few feeds left
Hygrozyme Application rate : 2-3ml per L Need more of this! only added once a week.
AN Big Bud is right around the corner with the same Application rate : 2ml per L

Also Used SNS Systematic again - shit works - had like 2 adult fungus gnats show up right as I got it to the girls - goners - AGAIN!!!! Last round that shit made them piss off.

Lollipopped the yumbolt - shes making daddy proud
the SCxSSSDH is going to be EPIC!!!!!!!
Blackwater/Vintage/Jack33/NightTerror are all stretching and ready for budset.
Yumbolt already started to throw pistils/hairs.

Cali Connect Random girls aren't big stretchers - I think the 6 inch pot plants should of been up pot like the rest
SLHxMM seem to need that up pot also - but theres time. Plus clones for a second chance for everyone.

Sweet Pink Testers going to make it hopefully - they look better and moved toward the light - so somethings going on - hopefully good.

Sativa Loco loves rockwool - just like me - clean - easy and very versatile with same results as the coco - I might make a leap back to rockwool. 4 inch cubes ontop of hugos - with drippers

I'll shut up - oh and I got the glasses and the R/O system. Could some one help me with a list of what else I need to get to use it? Thanks!

First up Yumbolt - HUGE plant - love it. Pictures are before training and I think theres a few after.

Day 13 Week 2

Day 13 Week 2

Stealth RO 200 came today :D CAN'T WAIT for the kitchen painting to be completed this month by muah - only so much time I can put into the place with school work n gardening.

Going to tripple wash all my coco tomorrow.

Pruned/lollipopped/supercropped Vintage, Blackwater OG, Jack33

Supercropped all SCxSSSDH and Cali Connect Randoms, the yumbolt which ate shit - she wasn't expecting the super crop and it was the first in a while - she has rubbery stems and it took some dedication to see her thoroughly cropped.

Pretty much everyone got attention again. The SCxSSSDH weren't ready for another super crop.

The yumbolt is MASSIVE! She wasnt happy getting supercropped - 4 hours later and she still limpin around after that butt fuckin haha

The Sativa Locos are moving along beautifully - the roots on the bottom are sexy - rockwool Ftw. I'm going to dial back things to slow down growth on all the potted clones, testers, and btw the spg are alive and slowly creeping along. We'll see what it takes to get something from them but I'm patient.

Wazzz up Smokey!!!

Last run



The other Day



This show just got started

I'm feeling confident my 2 elbow goal will be met maybe exceeded.

If I hit GPW it would be 100% genetics.

Currently researching automation!!!

Long over due vacation needed and I want to run the perpetual flower room while i'm gone.

The method 7's are in! its really nice and comfortable but I'm not used to glasses in there so I kept wanting to take them off. I got hte 150$ ones - 100% worth it. Super comfy - really heavy/sturdy build - no plastic lens or body - good investment. Work well outside as well and come with a nice reusable box, pouch and case.

Im still getting used to wearing mine. Got them hanging right inside the door, eye level - still forget.

Cuts out so much eye strain and that temporary blindness when you close the door on the grow.

Looking forward to another in-depth pic heavy update.
