Rip's closet: Mandala Hashberry x Satori F1's

Hey everyone. All is well in the closet

Quick update...

So the final count is 9 girls. I had one runt and I pulled that and ended up chopping all the males too. What the heck. I want some pure sensi this grow and LOW maintenance They're about 3-4 feet tall right now.

It's day 17. Sorry for the thumbnails I can't seem to get the big ones posting for some reason.

Very nice ... The green ...

Very nice looking plants. I've only grown Hashberry, but that crossed with Satori will be a winner. Keep up the good work.

Thanks fellas

Day 19 of flower today. All is well, but I've been a bad daddy... it's been about 15 days since I changed the res. Good news is as busy as I've been I only checked pH twice since then and they've been ok. It was about 6.4 today. I'm going to let it swing from 5.2 -> prolly 5.5 by tomorrow and then not let it drift too far above 6. They handled it well though.

The big gurl is showing some cal or mag def. I can post a pic of the leaf...
edit- here she is...


she's otherwise doing fine



I figured WTF and threw some big bud at them along with the aptus stuff, the zyme, and the aqua flakes. And the great white I'm going to dump a bunch of K on them in a couple weeks and see how they handle it. I used about 200 ml of the BB/ my 25 gal res. It'll be exciting to watch them take off this next week.

Day 19

Cheers

Love this, tagged. I need co2 lol

Thank you, kindly. Do pull up a seat. I'm feeling old school...like way old school haha. It's that top hat smiley lol.

Yes! Co2! I have no comparisons for this closet but I'll take that as a big complement that it's working. I don't have a monitor so I'm always suspicious...but my dosing is way overkill so the ppms must be ok.

PIX. Still day 19 lol. I can't help it. It's only been a couple days since the last set of pix but the sparkles have started to come out and I'm too excited.



I know. I was beginning to question their dedication to sparkle motion. (name dat movie)

So to continue the high journey.

Let's visit some magic beans...

Here's the beanstawkz..


It's a jungle in there! Look out!

....this way!




Ahhh that's better.

hiyo! day 22 ish of flower.

cleaned up the root area quite a bit last night.

made covers for each tray. just cut one strip of panda film for each one, measured where the stems were with respect to the container, and cut slits - it then just fits over them..



I also removed the wrapping from the bottom of each RW slab like the 4 inch blocks had been. I want them to really drain on that screen. From picking them up I think a few of them are quite a bit lighter...they just were'nt draining right all wrapped up. More draining = more air to the roots.

Added a small circular fan below the canopy to air it out down there. Then there's the same type of circ fan above the canopy that blows under the light. Then I had enough room to put up my big box fan to blow over the canopy on the other side. It comes on with the co2 for 15 min every 15 min. I wish I could post a vid. I have a nice one from today. Is there an easy way to do that? With all the fans it looks like a real windy day inside there

By the way, I ended up rigging my co2 to come on every 15 min for 15 min like I said above. It's set to fill a volume about twice my space over 15 minutes, but it's still a pretty small amount overall. I should need to refill every month or so. It comes from the closet through a line, over the light...theres holes in the line...then down into the canopy on the other side. Not sure why everyone always sends it down to the root area. It should fall, not rise, over time. Plus I figure the canopy is where the action is at. I can see hands down the buds directly under the light grow bigger and faster. Gotta get that second light


the leaves are looking healthy and grean and flat..they really seem to be responding well to this nute mix.

This pheno looks aweful sativa-y. The leaf got in the way of a nice bud down below, so she got snipped...



Cheers

BIG Update! Hold on to yer' badwidths

Things R lookin gooood. Buddin' is steady with all the bloom nutes and they'll get a fresh res tomorrow or mid week. I dumped so much stuff on them like GW, enzymes, with the co2, etc, in this new closet - it's hard to know what's working. But IT is

Today I got excited with the camera and decided to break down the phenos I'm observing right now. As the girls continue to grow up I learn more and more about them

so without further ado, here's a shot of the garden today, day 26 of flower.


You can see how there's basically 4 taller girls, more sativa leaning - naturally i'm calling these the satori phenos.
Here's two...


And this one I call "big gurl." As they'd say on the Sopranos, "look at the stems on blondie!"

The stem on the left I had to support with some string from the ceiling. She's a total cal mag whore and seems to have some sort of def. I'm going to try to hand feed her, it's just hard to keep her satisfied on the same table as all the others!

So that's 4 sat phenos. I have a total of 9 plants. Of the remaining 5, the shortest two have a tad of that landrace indica showing through with pointed, slightly curved leaves. And, from what it looks like, heavy crystals! I will call these 2 the HB dominant pheno's...or "HB1"




2 more plants are similar in structure to the Hb1's, with heavy crystals, but are a tad taller.. about intermediate in height between the HB1 and Satori phenos. I will call these the "HB2" phenos. It will be interesting to see if they smoke any different than the HB1's.


HB2 sparklin' like the beatiful ho that she is. Do yer thang gurl.


One of the HB2 girls has a bit of a christmas-tree type structure. Really vigorous branching growth. It will be interesting to see how she fills out for sure Here's a pic of some of her "popcorn"


So that's 8.

The last one is..well...she's the freak. You saw her beanstawkzzz above. She's actually a twin, so I shouldn't be so rude. She was born with two stalks and two sets of petioles attached to the central seed/root mass.

One was smaller than the other and I didn't know if it would make it. ..but. she. did.


The bigger stalk ended up branching, so now there's three main branches including the runt twin

a freakish trifecta

I've been rolling my fingers on some of the larger leaves and smelling all those wonderful terpenes and resins. Full of berries and fruits. And I'm just dreaming of hash right now. As they say ~ god willing~ I will have some creamy hash in about a month

Cheers all!

Very nice indeed ... Why do u use cal-mag ? doesn't the flakes have it already ? This because my growshop has those and perhaps i would change from DeltaNueve to them ...

mmm bho. speaking of hash!

I shouldn't be using it. I'm just de-chlorinating so my water is kind of hard to start with, plus all the extra stuff, but the big gurl is showing some sort of deficiency...so I've been adding cal+mag to the res kind of as prophylaxis in case the big gurl is showing her deficiency earlier than the rest of the plants.

I'm starting to think, though, that I should just hand feed the odd one with cal+mag and leave the others to do their thing. They won't need very much more non-flowering nutes for too much longer, anyway.

I LOVE the aqua flakes! Seems slightly better than the PBP + LK combo I was using during veg...IMHO. BUt it definitely works perfectly with the Aptus line since they don't have a base nute. They all seem to be working quite well together, along with the Great White. Cheers

Oki. Thanks for the info. GL

looking good!!!

wow, just wow.
looking good man, keep it up.

Thanks guys If anyone has any Q's or comments they're always more than welcome...feel free everyone to stop by and say hi. The girls like to show off!

Here they are today. Day 30...



The more sativa dominant phenos are really starting to get that wicked took to them! There's no mistaking the difference now between these girls and the shorter Indy's





And some shots of some more Indica lookin phenos:


hey who put a mirror in there!?


this plant is looking like a really solid hybrid pheno..


They continue to plump up. Can't really capture the buds on film b/c the leaves cover them so well, but a few of them are at least 12" long. Can't wait to see 'em fill out! Otherwise, they're looking a tad malnourished today. I think I might just change the res right now.

Cheers

Nice Lookn ladies bro!
Did a fine job breeding!
Cheers

great work there bro.... frosty fo sure!


TT

Oh mama! I'm drooling here...

Sexy Sativas!

nowadays tap water uses a different kind of chlorine, it's like chloramine i think and it doesn't evaporate, which is why they switched to it so im curious as to how you "de-chlorinate" it. there is an article about it in the latest Skunk magazine...it basically said without an RO filter you can't get rid of it and it will hurt your micro herds...

Hmmm that's interesting, I'd definitely like to see the article. I've been using a de-chlorinator, it's like an RO filter but without the RO component I'm fairly sure that even RO filters use the same filtration method to remove the chlorine..so you can upgrade de-chlorinators to RO filters by adding the RO unit, but if you buy a RO filter it will come with the dechlorination filters. I believe the reverse osmosis is removing electrolytes but not filtering per se. I really don't know the science though. I do know that a LOT of growers here use de-chlorinators like mine. I'll post a pic in a bit. I think the filtration is very similar to how a lot of bottled water companies do it too. (Yep, lots of bottled water is simply tap water that's been dechlorinated) Cheers
