Week-6, day-1
Week-6, day-1
Sixth week, day 1. The nutrient blast in week 5 really payed off; Each bud has doubled in height, the stink is overwhelming, and a couple plants toppled over from weight.
The fan leaves are starting to yellow at a steady but predictable rate. I got the humidity under stricter control now. No pest, rot, or mildew to report, but I did get a little tip burn from pushing nutrient levels last week. No matter, I will now begin to incrementally drop E.C. until final flush.
Irrigation water: PH 5.8-6.2, EC 0.8-1.0
Cheeb- just saw your post, will do buddy. They always seem much prettier without that orange glow anyway.

Color shots week 6
Color shots week 6
As requested, here are the non-HPS tainted color shots. I really like the color of this strain, it's very lime green with fantastic bag (or should I say jar) appeal. You can't see it yet, but, the red hairs contrast very nicely to the bright green calyxes. very pretty when all is said and done.
It's easy to see why this strain is called lemon skunk: When you touch the buds, it smells like a lemon grenade went off in your hand. Oddly enough, it taste nothing like lemons: more like floral soap.-?

Ditto accept mine is shallow, water still comes out too cold. Summer is even a problem...water still comes out if running long enuff to get say 50 gals? It only 48f... Plants uptake of nutes best at 65-70 deg no? It what I have mine set at.
Hey man...
You are a VERY smart person. I love ur setup and also greatly appreciate u taking the time to show us electrical setup like u did. Ventilation chapter is also very cool, ur right..my motto too is u can never have too much air.
Thanks for doing this man, sorry for rambling in here J.C. got stoned and spent almost an hour reading in this thread now.

Thanks for the kind words J.C., and welcome aboard. I'm glad to have you here.
Honestly, I'm not sure if plants take up nutrients better at warmer temps, I'll have to look into that, but I'll tell you one thing: they like it much better!
This thread will shortly be coming to a close . I would like to thank everyone for the thoughtful discussion and heartfelt compliments. I am fortunate to be in such good company. You guys make my monotonous evenings and nagging girlfriend much easier to handle.
Be sure to check out the last couple weeks of flowering, the yield, and the things I learned from this grow. In about 3-4 weeks I'll start a new journal (Pushing Limits#-2) and the madness begins all over again!

Yeah man, my GF is usually nagging me because J.C. on here too much.
Yeah i think I read in my indoor bible about nutes temps and 65-70 along with proper ph is perfect for plants to take up nutes. Anyway, look forward to seeing the harvest man, sorry I joined so late but followed my buddy Brightskis in here and well...

Week-7 day 1
Week-7 day 1
First day of week 7. Plants are doing good, fan leaves are almost all yellow now, the calyxes are becoming much more pronounced, and the trichome heads are filling up nicely (but nowhere near bursting yet).
Irrigation water: PH- 5.8-6.2 E.C.- 0.0. Flushing begins, nutrients are no longer given from this point on. I don't use flushing agents yet:for the fear of shocking them too early. I know foreplay's over, but it's no time to blow my load either!

Really looking nice PTL! Great photos too!
Yeah, you better be careful PTL! Those ladies are for sure working their magic ways. Stick to the plan man. You'll get your way with them in the end.

Nice update...Very nice!
Yeah man, J.C. has always just shut them off when it is time. I do not add things to flush either, str-8 water. Looks great man, happy harvest coming ur way.

Clone Taking
Clone Taking
It's week 7 and I take my clones now.
There's are a million cloning tutorials out their, and I'm not going to insult anyone's intelligence by explaining it once again, but I thought I'd show you guys how I take my clones and share a few things I've observed along the way.
I use two products; Clonex gel, and Anti-wilt spray. Clonex is a great product, it's a sterilizer and rotting hormone in an easy to apply gel. The Anti-wilt spray is absolutely awesome, I haven't lost 1 clone since I started using it! It sprays a waxy film onto the clones helping them retain moisture, and keeps them rigid. These products are not necessary, but they help my strike rate substantially.
Which brings me to one of my tips: cutting on an angle, expensive cloning gels, healthy mother, trimming leaf tips, Ect means Absolutely Nothing, if you don't have a good environment. I repeat: Environment should be your biggest concern.
It doesn't matter how you clone, every method will get results if you have a good environment.
So, I will share a couple tips to making a cozy home for these delicate infants we call clones.
Here's some pics:

- A light that's too bright will make it difficult for cuttings to take root. I'm not sure why this is... but, it is. (it's contrary to all we're told about indoor gardening) One florescent lamp works great. compact, t-5, t-8, t-12, doesn't matter, they all work.
- Humidity is very important and domes work great, but the plants need to breath as well. be sure to crack open those air vents on the top. If they wilt: shut them more, If they turn yellow: open them more.
- Temperature of the medium should be warmer then foliage. Again, I wish I knew why, but, I'll tell you what: a $20 pre-set seedling heat mat is a great investment. (helps with the humidity too!)
- Moisture, bla bla bla you guys have heard this a million times; not wet, not dry: But Damp.
- Make sure your stuff is CLEAN.

Week 8, Day 1
Week 8, Day 1
First day of week 8. The stench permeates at least 20 yards around my house...yikes. I'd rather the smell was gone, but, I'm not too worried. oh well, beauty of being legal I guess.
Aside form the smell, the only problem with my garden is some of the plants are toppling over... now that I think of it, I guess things could be worse: because it's a consequence of being too heavy after all!!
Irrigation water; PH- 5.8-6.2 EC- 0.0
Trichome watch: about 10-20% cloudy, 80-90% clear. Even though so few are cloudy, almost all the heads are full and bulbus. These plants will be ready at the end of the week, no question in my mind, but, you never know.

Pushlimits,
First of all, wow, I just cruised through your thread, and especially liked the beginning where you took the time to document your room and associated accessories. That room is t t t Tight!! Sorry for the stutter, it happens when I get a little excited.
I really liked how you hung your lights, that is slick with the track and all.
Ha, we should have our rooms get together and bump uglies, maybe it would spawn an evil demon room with tight lines!
Seriously though, looks great, excellent post for anyone interested in building a tight grow space.
Second, your buds look freakin awesome man! Building a room is one thing, keepin them green and pretty for a few months is another thing entirely!
Sorry to hear about your buds dropping over, ever thought about SCROGin them ladies? Sure does eliminate the hell out of that problem!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my screens, once again congrats on your grow!

seriously nice bud you get there bro, enjoy in harvest time !!
I really like seeing the next round all perky and in their dome waiting for their turn in the sun!
On a cloning note if you don't have a small cfl and area for cloning, setting the tray in the corner of the veg room on the floor works for me. The 1Kw is more than 12feet away so it isn't too strong for them, but you are correct if they get so much light that they want to grow their leaves, they forget that they need roots!

GoldenGlow- Ha Ha- Our rooms bumping uglies to make evil grow room spawns, that's the funniest thing I've seen in a while! and if rooms could bump uglies, ours would make a brutal room. LOL
I've tried screens before, but they were nothing as nice as yours! To be honest I liked it, but, it's just not for me, probably because I'm too lazy!
You set-up is one of the nicest I've seen on IC, no bullshit, it's titties. You have a keen sense of detail, and construction. Ever think of engineering school?, you should. Keep up the good work. I'll be keeping an eye on your grows.
Hydrosun- yeah, I figured it out the hard way: I've murdered many a clones back in the day form putting them a couple feet away from a 400w metal halide. I thought- " oh, the bulb will keep them warm". It seems silly now, but it made sense then!
In my defense, that was before you could buy grow books at Borders! " For The times, they are, a changin"- Bob Dylan.
Yeah hydrosun, I totally dig your room too. Don't think I haven't read your stuff too: much respect. I can't even hang, I wouldn't know what to do with that much room. But you pull it off gracefully! I love it.
