Made the switch to vertical

[hotboxes]

I have degenerate disc disease my L4,L6 are dissovled so every now and then I do the same thing and I am out for the day.

 

[DHF]

Still surprised that DHF called the Indica out as a keeper so long ago...dudes the weed whisperer lol!

I mean what started out under 12/12 looking like a plant with real wispy buds,she sure chunked up and has some rocks for buds!

Not just another pretty face over here Bro............and.....

Sorry bout the back probs......Quality of life and range of motion are to be valued on a daily basis the older yas get.....and yeah.....

Nuthin written in stone about that 8-16 ml per gal schedule cuz each individual hybrid reacts to NPK differently guaranteed....

Excess /residual salt buildup in your medium is your plant`s worst enemy for that "Circadian Rythm" of suckin juice and sweatin it out ftw without excess ppm`s not assimilated and bein stored in plant tissue......anyways......

Less is more...ppm wise IME.....bet on it......Never more than 750 across the board with additives and all amendments.......

Glad my plant pick worked out for yas......

Peace....DHF...........

Great shots.. Looking tasty and sticky... Enjoy them fruits of labor...

 

[Jnugg]

Definitely not just another pretty face,but a damn knowledgeable old head for sure...thanks for the kind words Fred's and I agree with ya's...less=more.

Will do AlienDawg,your grow is lookin' real nice.

Day 70 Flower

Day 70 Flower

Almost forgot tonight was day 70...well I got myself up from bed rest to take these pics (can't be missing an update now can we lol).The one in the front right has purpled up some more (though not fuly/truly purple) and has a slight fruity odor...still not ready yet though IMO...we'll see what happens in the next 5-7 days...hopefully no longer though.The plant in the back right corner is getting nice and yellow,smells sugary sweet,kind of an original flavor bubblegum scent..still not ready either so like the other plant,we'll see what happens in the next 5-7 days....on to some porn!

Good lookin shit my buddy........Just gotta back off on the juice next run from the evident burnt tips in the pics........Less is more guaranteed ppm`s wise , bet on it.....

Nuggage looks awesome....Respect......and.....

Peace....DHF............

 

[Jnugg]

Thanks Freds...I think the tip burn could be from a number of things or a combination of things such as I was using tap water (which I normally would use RO) that I know is hard and high in Ca & Mg and who knows what else,while using regular GH FloraMicro instead of their hard-water Micro.Another is that I laxed on my usual routine of flushing each container with 2-3x 1/4 strength nute solution every two weeks to avoid toxic salt buildup come mid-late flower.

Next round I will be using RO water and I will also be using an EC/TDS pen as well as getting a pH pen for accurate readings of nute solution & runoff.I'll also be playing with cutting the micro a little and possibly increasing FloraBloom,or decreasing both micro/bloom while adding liquid/powder koolbloom or other "bud boosters" all while trying to maintain a suitable EC/ppm of feed per whatever cut of the originals I decide to run.I believe that the plant I labeled plainly "Indica" because of it's wide fingered leaves,short/stocky stature,is quite possibly an Indica dominant phenotype of SSH.Upon drying she has a distinctly hazey aroma and flavor to her,and the buddy tjat gifted me all the bagseed did get an indica dom SSH from time to time.

Dry Weight Update

Dry Weight Update

So the indica (that I believe is an indica dom pheno of SSH) finished out to 38.5 grams dry of some nice hazey tastin' & smellin buds.The plant in the front right corner finished at 52.6 grams dry,and plant in the back left corner finished in at 47.2 grams dry....138.3 grams dry from 3/5 plants is good,hoping I can get another 2 oz. each from the two plants that are still going,this will put me around 1/2 lb which as a starting point in vert will be good to me seeing as that's what I maxed around in horizontal grows under the same light in a smaller space.Now that I know how each one of these plants grows I can train them better as well as mono-crop...I see an elbow + from a 400w HPS in a 3x3,bare bulb vertical being very possible.

Any ways,heres to shots of what I believe to be indica dom SSH...I'll get some nug shots of the other two plants later tonight....

38.5g Dry

Looks great Jnugg, I tried to hit you with some rep but I guess I need to spread it around more first lol Keep up the great work my friend. You should check out the PPK's man I bet you I get close to 1 lb from 1 plant in the PPK, and I will be lucky if I get that much from the other 4 in there with it. Just a lil food for thought. Looks fan-fucking-tastic bro Like you said its a good base to start from you can only get bigger from here.

Final Dry Weight

Final Dry Weight

Sorry for lack of update,been busy...anyway I harvey'd the last two plants in the box on day 75 before lights on.Hung whole to dry for 5 days then a light semi-dry trim (just any large non thc covered leaves) and broken down to branches for another 3 days before brown paper bag for 24-48 hours...then sealed up.

The plant in the back right corner finished at 58.8 grams dry,smells like sugar/sweet...kinda like the smell of original flavor Big League chewing gum.

The plant in the front right corner finished just under 2 ounces of some purple goodness with a faint fruity aroma and flavor.


All in all I am pleased with my first vert grow and got at least what I would get from a horizontal grow with same light...9 ounces and a few g's to boot from a multi strain random bagseed grow ain't too shabby IMO and I got an ounce over what my lowest expectation was,but didn't reach the 10-12oz I was hoping for...oh well...monocroppin the right bitch with better training I can see 12-14 dare I say 16oz's from a single 400w HPS hung bare bulb vertical in a 3x3 tent 4-5 plants donut style.


I'll get some pics up later guys...happy easter...420 's right around the corner!

Good to hear Jnugg. Congrats on the harvest.

 

[Alien_Dawg]

Way ta rock that 400 bro. Good pull. Beautiful nugs.. Enjoy day dreaming the next grow while smoken this pull...

ROUND 2!

ROUND 2!

Watered/fed the three big ladies in 3 gallon GH Cocotek Coco hempys with 2ml each Coco A and B per gallon of water which gives me an EC of about 1.6/1.7 since my tap comes out @ .6/.7 EC

Trimmed the tops off and removed the reflector to go bare bulb vertical once again.Will be giving them a day or two and switching to 12/12.Hopefully temps get and stay a little cool at night because it's 72°ambient temp in the Apt. tonight.

Last two clones finally rooted out of their rapid rooter plugs and I transplanted them to some Canna Coco and fed with 2ml per gallon of water each Coco A and B pH'd between 5.5 and 6.0

[Sqydro]

nice mate read the full thread nice return from a 400 and small place strapped in for round 2 all the best mate

 

[Jnugg]

Thanks Sqydro

 

[Jnugg]

Scrapped the 3 big plants.I had decided they had been through too much stress to even bother flowering them.

Clones have been in Canna Coco and under a 400w HPS for eight days,being fed 2ml each of Coco A and B per gallon of water,pH'd between 5.5 and 6.0

 

[Jnugg]

Btw guys my bad but this not being able to medicate has really fucked with my head.

I am not feeding 2ml each Coco A and B but rather 2 teaspoons each A and B per gallon of water,which is 10ml each A and B.

Just a little update...
