fruit spirit and mataro blue 800w cfl grow

findme · Dec 31, 2012

Strains:
Fruit spirit
Mataro blue
bag seed for lols ( got rid of cuz it turned hermie)

note: let me know if you guys want all the pics i got or the newest ones i have now. these are old ones but i figure i should post these so you guys could see the transition.

Containers:
1x fruit spirit mg moisture control soil ( and a bag seed for lols)
2x fruit spirit hempy
1x mataro blue with a fruit spirit clone hempy

lights: 100w on each plant until flowering and then 200w per plant in flowering

nutes:
1x fruit spirit soil plant getting 24-8-16 mg, humic acid, silica blast, and super thrive in veg. flowering day 1 with super bloom 12-55-6 + h.a, s.b, s.t once and done then i use my veg schedule for the rest of the life of the plant.

1x fruit spirit hempy getting botanicare pure blend grow with the additives ( h.a,s.b,s.t) in veg. in flowering day 1 same as the plant above and then the veg is the same except it uses pbp grow instead of 24-8-16

1x fruit spirit the same as above except it uses 20-14-13 orchid plus for its veg food

1x fruit spirit/mataro blue same as the plant in soil ( 24-8-16 mg nutes)

water type: 65 ppm tap for the first week of the plants and then distilled for the rest.

experiment:
1.to see if any of these nutes will perform better or smell better than another when given the same additives.
2. To see if the fruit spirit/mataro blue bucket will accept the 24-8-16 nutes even though there isn't any nitrate nitrogen in it.

comments: my goodness, I knew hempy was easy but I didn't know it was soooo much easier than dwc hydro type grows with the same growth.

tools: ppm meter, 3 in 1 soil ph/light/moisture meter and humidity temp gauge.

just some regular ol 23 - 25w bulbs. The 100w ones cost waaayy too much otherwise id have those in the room.

also, the fruit spirit that is in the hempy buckets were clones from the soil plant. so one could actually see how fast they mature and grow compared to the soil mother.

These pics are 3 days apart so u can see a little bit of change from them.

Quick note that some buckets have more clones so the experiment may not work quite as expected due to the mother not having enough clones at the time but ah well.. such things are life. Also I supercropped these with the standard bending method as seen in the soil mother pic.

pics as follow:

1. mataro blue with fruit spirit clone
2. fruit spirit clones
3. fruit spirit clones
4. fruit spirit soil mother

I'll try to upload more pics asap for you guys to see.

the hydro ones are still putting out even after 8 weeks and I don't see any amber trichomes yet as I did with my soil one.

Interesting things about the soil mother and the hydro clones from that mother. both flowered at the same time yet the mother ripen faster than the clones themselves. It had amber trich's and hairs on it at week 6 yet the clones in the hydro are still growing and I have yet to see any amber trichs yet.

I have more pics throughout the growth stages if you guys want to see them... just let me know. I will also do a smoke report once the buds have fully cured and dried.
