"16 heads" just came in at 7.31 zips...no larf....27 inch plant....7 gal. pot....that is over the zip/gal(soil) threshold....hell's yeah!

 

[Mohican]

Hey Nugs,

So which do you prefer - 8 or 16?

Please post pictures of the 16


My sad indoor Malawi is showing some sparkle:

Cheers,
Mo

 

[nugbuckets]

I LOVE THIS PHENO!!!!!!!

awesome!......lots of citrus, zogg's sex wax, headshop, Dead show smell........i will get some cured shots up soon of both phenos......i like running 8, and 16 heads, but 16 stays much shorter overall......as i mentioned before.......wait till you guys see what these two will do in reversed rolls....V.D as a 16, and #2 as an 8...in the works.......both in MY soil mix....fuck Roots.....

 

[Mohican]

OK - So how does a MI boy know about Mr Zogs? Best smell in the world!!!!

Oh - and OMG that is the most beautiful pictures and subject I have ever seen! So clean and symetrical! That top shot is amazing - perfect fade


Do you ever get ants? Got any tricks for getting rid of them? I have heard coffee, turpentine, gasoline...


REP x Infinity!


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY Nugs! Your fireworks show is spectacular!


Cheers,
Mo

 

[nugbuckets]

no ants, right now i am dealing with bud worms.....stem boring grubs....they prefer the little chi-chi bud phase.....so i am neeming every other day....

...if your ants are attracted to sugars in your grow room, put a dab of honey on a card, and just physically remove it along with the ants each day, if outside, Diatomaceous earth works good, but you have to be tenacious....good luck

p.s.......my other home is Cali brah!.....where do you think i learned this craft?....i got family above garberville!...i am just here in the mid-west caring for and growing for a very sick friend....

p.s.s....you want to learn how to grow weed?.....try to grow Cali grade way the fuck up here...you will learn how to 'bob and weave" with the best of em'......it is not easy here with the bugs, storms, critters, rain, tornados, hail, and humidity......growing the Cali sun is a piece of cake compared to growing under the sun/clouds here!

That is all true nugs but you left out one very important thing ! Our mid west soil kicks the shit out of Cali's lol! not sure about you but i can dig a hole in my yard and the plants will do great,aslong as the factors you mentioned don't happen.

 

[budman678]

hey nugs, are there final shots and weight??

almost three days and none of those little buggers have shown there heads yet

thats true brother!.......but nothing....i mean nothing beats my super soil, and smart pots!.......all the growers around here are amazed at what comes out of Nug's sun garden!......"bro, that looks just like Cali dank!".....how did you do that here?....heh...heh....

Orange County is originally an Agricultural region (oranges, walnuts, corn, strawberries, tomatoes, avocados). The soil here is good but can be very dense with clay. When I lived in North Carolina it was like Hawaii for most of the year. I bet they grow some good green there

Nugs - what is your light setup in your flower room? How do you keep your temps under control?


Cheers,
Mo

perhaps thats because you are looking for little buggers, instead of big buggers!

6.67 on "8", and 7.31 on "16"....no larf, all candy!......cured shots coming real soon.....before Sunday, patient pick-up.

Had a visitor in the garden this morning

i shut my room down from the solstice till the end of september....too fucking hot, and the sunshine is free...plus i believe the very best nug is grown in a dep scene during July and August, i believe the spectrum and intensity is superior to the late summer sun, esp. way the fuck up here....i am at like 47, 48 lattitude! so that is what i do.......when inside, i have 2-air cooled 600's, and a nice A/C unit.....real small, but i only have a few patients to care for.

 

[nugbuckets]

Mo, thats almost big enough to throw on the grill!.....yummy!

 

[nugbuckets]

Taming the Beast.....

......i am a big fan of pruning the understory out of my plants around day 14 of flower.....there are a number of reasons i do so....1- i don't like larfy bud...hate to trim it, don't like to deal with it.....i am all about huge flowers... dense, jar nugs......2- ventilation.....i am terrified of mold and mildew!....i have tossed entire plants because of it, i believe it fucks people up hard....esp. patients with compromised immune systems, and would never, ever consider it to be medicine, if there is any trace of mold on it......plus i am highly allergic to it myself.........3- i really want to focus on the distribution of energy from the root mass, and i don't want my roots feeding secondary growth, i want everything to go to the main colas.......

......this is a headband from DNA.....you can see the OG in her, but she also expresses the SD with a fair amount of secondary growth....i thought she would really shine with a good trimming......or "brazilian"....as they like me to call it....frisky little bitches!

Disclaimer.....you want to wait untill after a good bud-set before removing lower growth....2 weeks of flower is usually sufficient.......the oldest growth contains the highest concentrations of flowering hormone, and is crucial to a fast and powerful bud-set........so timing is very important..........have a dank day nerds!

peace and love, nugbuckets

 

[Bobotrank]

I like to trim up my girls for the same reason... they normally get the lower 1/4-1/3 taken off. Plus now you have something to make some JOOS with

 

[nugbuckets]

duh......i forgot the best part.....da joooos!

That's awesome info!

 

[Rrog]

Thanks for the continued pics. Really helps with the technique. That's where I'm challenged.

To confirm, your smarties are 5 liquid gallons? Like the 5 gallon pail next to them? That image really shows me that I've been a goofball growing in 7 (liquid) gallon pails when my ceiling is so low.

 

[PakaloloHui]

Your soil mix and technique are wonderous. Bag that shit up and make some $$$.
