APE does CHERRY PIE, GSC, AND LARRY OG AT KUSH MTN. - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

HELLO,
THIS is Ape otherwise known as tdmaker back in the early 2000s. It is my latest flower grow after spending much of the last 10 year's focusing on providing clones throughout California. So let me explain...

first, the strains are CHERRY PIE, GIRL SCOUT COOKIE, AND LARRY Og. Let's not get bogged down trying to figure out if my strains are the "real" ones. Especially the gsc.

2. I am test running a nee fertilizer line called KUSH MOUNTAIN. It consists of a 1part GROW AND BLOOM. also includes:
a. a custom calmag at 6% based on lignosulphanates.
b. A humic shale amendment mined in the U.S.
c. A humic shale extract used weekly similar to a multivitamin.
*nutrients are highly chelated and whatvsets this line apart from all others is it doesn't simply rely on merely throwing NPK on the plants. But the producers believe that since plants evolved in a high humus environment then it is best to recreate that by adding humus (carbon) back to the media while encouraging healthy beneficial microbe growth in the media. PPM alone is not the only answer. So let's get to testing...KUSH MOUNTAIN FERTLIZER COMPANY.

3. PLANTS will be grown in a SCROG in an attempt to maximize yield while allowing multiple strains to be grown in the same canopy.

4. Equipment includes raptor styled reflectors and interlux bulbs. No co2, and 1000 watt ballasts.

I am attempting 1.75lbs/1000 watts with this SCROG AND KUSH MOUNTAIN.

nice, subbed.

My veg setup...I prefer to veg at about 78 degrees. This room is a little cooler therefor the veg is a little slower than my preference. We will get that fixed.

The first thing you notice besides the dark green foliage is the extreme STINK from these ladies. The leaves are extremely greasy too...I attribute all of this to the humic amendment called ACTIVATOR. Some of my friends have been given samples of this product and all can vouge for the extreme smell produced. Just ask LUMPSTATUS what he thinks of it...

You will notice the screen is filling in. My attempt is to produce a canopy strongly resembling a SOG while using SCROG method. I think my method is a little different than other scrogs I view recently I manipulate the plant as it grows and not simply letting the plant grow into the screen. We will see if it matters...

tdmaker2 · 10-18-2012, 11:14 PM

You can see in this batch that growth starts to excelerate. Media is COCO and small perlite manually mixed by myself. It's a bitch to do this, but produces the best media in my opinion. ACTIVATOR was added to each containter and scrog trellis was secured by cable ties. These pics show when the plants are starting to get settled and roots systems are being established.

About the Kush Mountain Ferts:
one thing I notice is how clean the GROW AND BLOOM are. The Calmag is very dark in color. I think this is because of its source. I have been told because it is derived from Lignosulphanates that the calcium is more readily available other brands. Everyone knows that OG loves Calcium...plants look great.

I am removing large fan leaves as I work the SCROG...
