otis' vertical experiments and other projects

* update*
the beds are swelling up in spite of the mite problem. if nothing else, this misstep has me on my toes as far as preventative measures.

both of these were purple last time I grew them, especially the dsd. the temps were pretty similar... there is still time, maybe they will get some color when I flush em.

seeking advice from the vert vets; how much of a handicap its it to grow a short stout( sour bubble) plant with vertically hung lights? I've a bunch of these sb clones I was thinking about running in the big ppk room before I switch it to 4 plant 5 light. I was thinking I would just do the extra work vegging and training. any thoughts or advice would be helpful.

madness. (atfxc99).

it's a jungle in here. I really need to get in here and do some more thinning out. other than being over crowded, the ppk room is running smoothly.

a peek into the tent. these are about day 30 or so, the madness are about day 35.

I have this wierd last curl going on in the ppk room and on a couple plants in the tent. I thought I was over feeding at first, but now that I think about it it's only happening on the branches that have grown wau above the light and I think the leaves are just trying to orient themselves towards the light source. I'm only feeding 1.2ec in the tent and the ppk's control res is at 1.4 with the bulk res at 1.0. ph in the ppk is holding steady atbetween 5.8 and 6 with the bulk res phed to 5.8.

...or still N overdose with a little twist. Maybe they're sucking all the juice available like before but can't use it all? Anyway they aren't your main tops anymore so if everything else looks fine just let it roll. I used to pinch (supercrop) overgrown tops to a 90 degree angle because there is always disobedient tops which needs some spanking and sideway space where you can twist em.

F**k the grammar - get the point.

last but not last, the d-stack, I've loaded the bottom with Scott's og and wool be loading the top soon. they are in bigger pots up top, so I want to give em a little longer to make sure the roots fill the pot. these bitches are super floppy so this is the perfect place for them as the is something to lash every branch to. I tried to grow her big in the test ppk and there were just too many of those thin branches to support.... yield could have been better with proper support.

you are right about the tops, I've got some bent over in the tent. thanks for dropping by

Nice as usual!
I have some 7' tall BB pearls. They are
Curling, but packing on the buds.. They outran the lights too. I finally got em bent/snapped down light-level and they seem to be losing the curl on the new growth.

Anyhow, good stuff here

I am currently acquiring equipment for another room. I got a really good deal on another driazair 1200 and Phoenix 2000. the guy threw in an industrial air scrubber to boot.

the Phoenix and portable scrubber are at my other house. I have a Phoenix at the other house already, but I couldn't pass up the deal. on top of the drizair is a green air cdd2 co2 monitor/ controller. I'm going to run co2 at one of the spots and see for myself the difference. I bought a water cooled generator(tankless water heater) a couple months ago and after I harvest the big ppk room I will probably set it up over there and it will enrich the lung room that the ppk and coco bed pull air from.

I found this when watering my seedlings this morning. I hadn't looked at this table for a couple days and was surprised to find one of the ganja rebel freebies with a bunch of male flowers dropping pollen all over the place. never seen this happen so fast

Hey Otis,

Noticed on your last pic, highest leaf has some white spots on him, any idea what causes that?
I've seen it before....

Thanks,
BeL

 

[otis33]

that's pollen, a couple of the flowers had already dropped pollen by the time I found him

I have to pull this plant our of the tent to manage the other plants. she is chem- jack by mother chucker.. the only one that I managed to keep alive. so far I'm liking the structure and the buds are looking to be nice and chunky too. she doesn't have that chem funk I'm looking for, not really a remarkable or strong scent until handled then I get some citric like astringent smell that is pleasing and interesting. I'm curious to see how this one turns out. the wifi are greasy and smell delicious. I'll snap some pics of them later.

little update on the progress of the strain hunt. hippy stash from connoisseur genetics, at least on is a girl(tall one). I can't remember the exact parents.com some diesel and something... whatever it was sounded dank at the time of purchase. I like the structure of her so far.
