vert fail

[Dropped Cat]

Anyway,

I flower in a NGB box 18" x 20" x 28" high. 150w HPS in a
cooltube.

There are up to six plants at a time, in 32oz. pots. Perpetual,
usually two each of the same cultivars, so 3 different flavors,
so to speak. Each plant yields around 18-26 grams.

The plants are trellised leaning away from the lamp. I have yet
to burn any of the little bushes. The nearest part of the plant is
around 5" from the tube.

Coco hempy, maxibloom with assorted additives.

Here it is:

nice efficient setup there. have any pics of those zamaldelicas in action?

 

[Dropped Cat]

Here's a pic just before she goes on the trellis,
some plastic grid from a filter kit I zip tie to the
plastic pot.

I'll look for some more pics, that Zamaldelica is a good plant,
I grow it twice a year.

nice one dropped cat, i understand this one is for patient people in terms of flowering times? i've tried of couple ace's offerings but not this one yet, love to some day. gonna pop rest of my bangi hazes later this year.

this has been the slowest, shittiest veg ever personally. it's not catastrophic but annoying and somewhat embarrasing. symptoms somewhat indicate over water but not sure since watering hasn't really been an issue in the past.

this is 4th time i reuse this particular medium, or 3rd full cycle as in every run before there were some males that got discarded. it could also be an imbalance or compaction related issue. i think it can be fixed but if this run seems too sluggish i'll re-amend and remix it with extra aeration next time.



they started happily so that adds to the mystery..at least for me..

 

[blynx]

The one problem I ran into when using recycled soil was the perlite breaks down and the mix became sandier over time. The soil ended up being really dense and the plants grew slow and not as big as they could have.

 

[non]

yeah it's probably getting too heavy, gotta watch that watering and remix it next time. i just wish there was something else here available than perlite and sand.

 

[non]

well..my recent observation after they picked it up in a day after watering with liquid organish nutrient seems to indicate that the problem has mostly been being underfed..guess the soil has gotten bit depleted as i've been very moderate with feed in the last runs. got some worm castings coming soon too, commercial variety so not the bestest but more than nothing.

geez maybe we'll even see them flowering someday, they're kinda relativily big now, but that can be dealt with bondage.

i just had to get one of these, mini grow tent with footprint of, well one squarefoot. i have a just fitting 50w miniufo led for it(might even be overkill). tape for scale. prolly gonna use for vegging but you never know if this might become some sort of sideproject.

 

[non]

they're looking much happier, topdressed with worm castings recently. flipped too. i'm not totally sure what went wrong at some point but this thread started exactly month ago so it's not too bad hiccup, for me at least. oh yeah need to take some cuts too.

 

[non]

i think it's been a bit over week of 12/12 now.

 

[non]

couple weeks of 12/12. bit messy but i'll sort out necessary training and trimming soon enough.

 

[non]

and i think we're approaching week three. the tent is in confined space atm and i'm too lazy to remove stuff around for pics only, but maybe at some point. one plant stayed kinda small so it's more like 3/4 than a full circle. no crisp thank go..sa..the great old ones.

 

[non]

month or so, looks kinda messy might be good idea to bend those tops sideways or down so they get more light.

 

[non]

um somewhere between 5-6 wks after flip, they certainly look un-impressive but let's just drag along, month to go or so?. maybe fert fail instead of vert fail? they smell good at least

 

[Dropped Cat]

I like it. Any yield is better than no yield.

What's the smell like?

G`day Non

At least they are not crispy . lol .
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, the old folks used to say .

Thanks for sharin

EB .

 

[non]

yeah no crisp, yet..have to watch out for the middle section if they start to lean to bulb (hoping for some bulking up in the next weeks). the smell is funky, hard to describe but im glad that carbon filter is still holding up, gotta replace it soon tho. this cultivar (rp og#18) is some sort of selfed og-variant supposedly so those type of funky smells, reminds me of a chem cross too in smell.

 

[non]

bit over 6 wk i think, nearing 7 at in couple of days. sometimes my camera seems to do color correction and the hps appears mh-like. a bit different angle, giving rough idea of the whole bit better. you can see the runt on the left corner, fucking runt.

 

[non]

had an eureka to take pics when lights are about to come on so you can actually see something. better late than never.

they are right about 8 weeks after flip, couple more perhaps. nice fuely funky smells in the tent.
