Diablo OG In Dual Monster Plant System

[lordjin]

Fucking giant buds! Im so jealous!

Ha ha.

Go hydro. You can do it too. It's fun and easy! Lol.

SWELLING. Looks like they still like that little bit of food they're allowed. Growth by the second. Can't beat that.

Just stepped out of the shower and thought to myself, "Hm, I wonder if there's any interesting marijuana news stories today?" then I went to Huffington Post and saw this as their headline image:

Actually, no. That's just a picture of my last grow. I didn't want to use their copyrighted marijuana photo. Anyway, about the story, it just goes to show that no one knows better than cops and former cops that the current system just isn't working.

I'm gonna go to the store. When I get back I'll put up part II of tonight's update. In the meantime, read this:

Wow, I just saw the hottest girl at CVS just now. Anyway these hot girls... I took some pulled back panoramic shots. This is the whole grow in three slices. There's tons in the back that you can't see, but you get the idea...

Props on that suggest. It's really the cherry on top.

You're running a water grow. Save yourself the extra step of having do dissolve powder. Use Liquid Koolbloom, I stake my donkey dicks on it.

Well if you're sure, I'll take your advice. Your girls prove to me you have an idea of what your talking about haha.
What GH products do you use other than Liquid Koolbloom?

Just stick to what you're doing. You said you're using the single mix Nova line? That shit rocks too. I'm using the micro cuz I like to play around a little, but there really isn't that much diff between that and Nova. Nova is good... and it ain't cheap either. I would recommend sticking to the GH Nova feed chart. It pretty much has you using Floralicious plus throughout as a supplement. Liquid Koolbloom should also be used as a supplement in early flower before bombing in mid to late.

Edit:
Oh, and kiss it with a little Botanicare Calmag Plus. You should be good to go. But follow that GH chart if you're not already.

 

[lordjin]

I hope they get disgustingly big! Speaking of disgustingly big, I haven't been completely honest. We have a fifth plant that is absolutely ridiculous in size, I think the picture will say it all, it isn't as developed as the smaller ones but still has lots of flowers forming. It started at the same time as all the others but it just got out of hand... Haha

Thanks for the heads up on the mold, our humidity runs at about 16% almost all the time and hardly ever reaches 25%. If you have any other pointers on how to manage our monster, we would greatly appreciate it!

Hm, now that I look at that thing, it does concern me a little. Is it still growing vertically? By the size of your buds, I'd say they're gonna continue to stretch a little as your buds thicken, which looks kinda problematic since they already look like they're close to the ceiling. The upper portion of your main stalk still looks pretty flexible. I know, I know... someone will say 'don't listen to that lunatic,' and I know it's kinda heretical of me to suggest bending during flower, but I'm gonna suggest it anyway. 'But it will stress the plant and cause herm..." someone already said to me when I suggested such madness to someone in their journal... Yeah, yeah...but from the look of it, you're gonna have to do something one way or another when the top buds start putting on a little weight. That extremely uneven light distribution due to the plant's height will cause an undesirable effect to overall flower. Say that plant was handed to me and someone said, "Do something." I would mangle it pretty good. But in hydro, it should still survive... and hopefully not herm. Can't guarantee that it won't, but you'll have further difficulty with that beast if you just leave it alone that way.

Edit:
I say that about the light because you're using fluoros it would appear. Vertical light distribution isn't a problem if say you have 600 to 1000 watt bare bulb hids hanging vertically all around your plants, but if you don't, that extreme space distribution between your bud nodes is gonna prove disappointing.

Right on Look it up, there's a lot of info here on RIU about her. May not be what you're looking for, but definitely worth a look. If you're a grower, you might want to pay attention when Subcool slaps his name on a kush strain for the first time ever. The dude does not mess about.

My mind is an open book. Regardless of strain, my box sends plants into outer-space. If the Plush isn't terribly tall, I wouldn't be closed off to it completely. It does have the look of one of those 'exclusive exotics.'

I hear you on the height issue. From what I've seen she stretches a little, but your method of LST will definitely do the trick. Once again, only a suggestion on my part. Acquiring this strain would require cracking a few beans, sexing them, and then picking a mom (or two) to take your cuttings from. Easy, rudimentary stuff... But time and space consuming. You also said you had a trusted club with rare clones. That might be your golden goose. Starting a mom can take up space and time that a lot of personal growers like you and I don't have room for. But, I can tell you're one of the smart ones, so I'll say this- There is a science to this. Everything you're doing. You have implemented so many measures to ensure you harvest a quality crop. Often, the measures we leave uncontrolled, are ones that have never presented themselves unsavory. This is where genetics comes in. Amazing things have happened in the breeding world the last 20 years- aaaand some not so amazing things too If you look hard enough though, you will find them. There is a class of grower that coincides with a class of breeder(or genetics). I think you've graduated. Maybe you're modest, or not interested, but I would be hard pressed to find anyone else around here who is ready to grow a flower of such high caliber. If you are interested, there is a forum group for medicinal growers who tested plushberry over at Greenpassion: https://www.greenpassion.org/index.php?/forum/164-plush-berry-bcs-x-sq-testers/ - Loaded with info on her. It's hard for me to resist; That Diablo looks about as good as any OG I've ever seen.

Thanks for all the input, dsmoke, you've really expanded my horizons. To know that I have gained your confidence is a great feeling indeed.

Yeah, I don't know too much about breeding genetics... I just plant 'em and grow 'em. Kinda like a race car driver...I know how to make it go, but I'll let the specialists deal with the engineering.

I'm already getting the red carpet treatment from the Sunset Super Shop, and once I show 'em what I did with their genetics, I'm sure even a stronger relationship will be established. I don't know, I just like the manager's style. If he says what he's handing me is legit and disease free, based upon how these two Diablos of his did, I'm gonna tend to take his word for it.

Man would I love to see what you could do with our Afghooey A. She's got some SERIOUSLY compact branchyness to her. She's a mini monster! She has been from day 1! We could have done much better with her though, knowing what we know now. The good news is, we have a clone of her so we get to try again! Something has to be said for good genetics! And from what we've been told by a local veteran true Afghooey will smell like rotting garbage as flowering progresses, which is exactly what our 3 girls smell like... It's a sickly sweet rank garbage can smell... kinda gross really and explains the flavor... I bet crossing Affie and MK would be a winning combo with the right phenos. Afgooey stickness with MK sweetness and plumping... drooooooooooooooool

excuse my ramble lol ... I missed chatting about my girls

 

[BluBerry]

Looking Awesome LJ.. I don't think you will have a problem getting your 1 oz bud.
I'd say more like closer to a 2 oz bud is what I would guess.. Should be an excellent harvest

Ramble away, it's entertaining to my THC addled brain. Lol.

If Agooey is a trichy plant, then it'll prolly grow so sugary in my box that the calyxes will be hidden under a thick crystal mass. I've seen that kind of trich development in especially sugar-coating strains like ICE. Ah, I remeber that ICE I grew fondly. It had one of the most euphoric highs I've ever gotten... I remember this stuff was so good, it felt amazing to simply turn your head and look at something...Great, great weed that was...even with all the OG's I smoke. Now who's rambling? Lol.

If I recall, I did mention earlier that the harvest day update will be dedicated to you?

Sounds like a plan. Gonna be some goodie!!

Good deal man. Keep doing what you're doing. Things are still very premature for you and I can tell that there is much more in store. No rush This stuff takes time. On top of that, starting a roster of elite moms is something to think about when you have a perpetual operation. Can't wait to see what you choose next... No doubt it will be dank

Much thanks... really, to the RIU poster who brought the undercurrent concept to my attention. I've been thinking about marrying the concept to my beloved aero pipes and I have a system schematic in my head that i think you'll find interesting.

Will keep you (and everyone else) posted as to the final assembly of my brainchild of course.

Ha ha.

Go hydro. You can do it too. It's fun and easy! Lol.

I have gone hydro before! I just think its such a pain in the ass! Heavy reservoirs, checking ppms and ph constantly...I like the ease and mobility of soil. I can water and bounce out for a weekend in Vegas and not really worry. With hydro, they grow faster, but they can die within 2 hours if something is off. Never again for me...hehe. But you rock it!

FYI: Here is a hydro grow I almost finished. It is an AK47 strain. I went out of town and had my parent's watch my house while I was gone. My mom is a pain in the ass, and to this day likes to snoop around in my business. I am a grown man in my 30s and she threw salt in my game. She found a key to my locked office, which then found a key to my locked bedroom, where she found another key to my locked grow room. After finding this, she had my father and uncle throw all my plants away 3 weeks into flowering! I came back into town and explained that I was a licensed grower and there was nothing illegal about this! They apologized, then lectured me on how weed is still bad... aaarrgh!

Oh, look at that. That looks pretty clean. So you have done hydro, eh?

Yeah, what is it about parents and weed? I'm a grown man in my 30's too and my mom still checks my eyes... Lol.
