Stoneslacker's 250w micro, hempy, scrog - Blue Hash, Afghan Kush Special. Cheese

[stoneslacker]

Hey guys had a string of bad luck the past week. Fell victim to the down economy, when some rippers smashed out my car window and stole my laptop and galaxy tab. Then I've been fighting with my insurance company, who seems to think that I pay these premiums for goodwill or something. Finally got a check cut today and picked up a shiny, new Samsung. I'll hold off on the tablet for now.

Got a few answers and shout outs to do!

^^ Hey stone i am also interested in how you dose your nutes, at the moment i am using GH flora series only, i have the calimag in case a problem arrises, and liquid koolbloom also for flower. So far i have pretty much been following this chart to the T, the 50% version(left side of chart) and my plants like it, if I go a little more i seen the tips start to change color so i laid back....

chart from growweedeasy : http://growweedeasy.com/sites/growweedeasy.com/files/grow-weed-General-Hydroponics-nutrient-schedule.pdf

Interested in how you rock it thanks brother

Hey FJG, I run the GH flora 3 part also and supplement with florablend, floralicious+, floranectar, and liquid and dry koolbloom. I like to run an extra bit of the Gro during the first 7-10 days of post-flip to give them a bit of help during the big stretch. Other than that I pretty much run the GH Drain to Waste schedule. The only difference is I wait till after the 2nd week before I start the koolbloom, and I start at 1mL and work my way up.

What I like to do is adjust my ph as the grow progresses. I always ph to around 5.8 during veg and then slowly bump it up the first week of flower till I'm around 6.0 by day 10 or so. After around day 14 I like to stay around 6.0-6.2 till around week 5 (or about 3 weeks till finish depending on strain) when I bump it up to 6.3. I'll keep it at this level till flush and harvest. The varying levels in ph help the plant to better utilize certain nutrients at differing levels of ph. Ask away if I can clarify this any.

I also like to let my buckets dry out fully, which I believe helps overall bud size and plant health by allowing plenty of oxygen into the upper root zone.

Stone, how they have grown in so fast, good job man....

I have seen Flowa's thread ...ya gonna try it?

Thanks Who, I'll have an update up tonight and you can see how packed things are now! I would love to try Flowa's method but simply don't have the space right now.

Everything looks amazing bro! Its been said a few times now, but I'm always amazed at how green and happy your girls always look. Flowamaster isn't the only guru of ganja around here.

Thanks bro. They are really coming along now and the cab is looking really full. Happy to say I've kept them pretty green this far into flower. Usually have some yellowing by this point but the lower temps are helping me out too.

would you be so kind as to pm me wen your about mate, got some q's n dont wana clog ya thread up!

Sending one now, sorry it took so long. Feel free to post away with any questions mate. This is more a blog journal for me to share my grow and interact with you guys, rather than a strain dedicated journal. The interaction is what keeps the thread moving and interesting IMO.

Hey brother, heres a few camera phone pics of my little breeding project. At the back is the dj short blueberry male and the others are a blueberry female, mango, skunk 1, great white shark and shiva skunk. The second pic is a close up of the shiva skunk with some juicy beans forming

Loving it man! We have alot of the same old school tastes mate, love the shiva skunk and haven't had any in a long time. I'm definitely thinking about taking a trip down that memory lane here soon. Girls are looking outstanding man, you should have some excellent beans real soon!

Hope all is well with you bro. Still looking forward to some p0rn so dont hold out on me man!

Thanks bro. All's good just wish people had more respect for each other and their hard earned property. I'll have some pics to update tonight.


I've got a few small girls and one medium sized girl outside and I am wondering if they are ever going to finish! Unfortunately almost every area that would work for me was shaded and I didn't get enough direct sun I think. I took a clone from the Mazar x GWS and put her out about the beginning of August and she is a tiny little girl with 4 nice tops. She is fairly far along and should hopefully finish up towards the end of next week. Won't be much quantity but the quality looks excellent. Very frosty!

I also put a couple of the selfed pineapple express beans my buddy made out and the one stayed really small like the Maz but the other I topped and supercropped and she grew into a beast. The 2 tops I took off of her I simply stuck into the ground and they both rooted nicely and are looking great. These PE's are looking like they won't finish till the end of the month though so I am getting a little bit worried. I'll run out an snap a couple pics and put them up tonight also.

Knock on some wood, but hopefully this journal will get back to normal a bit. Peace all.

 

[stoneslacker]

Here is the outdoor girls.

Maz x GWS. I'm glad I had this extra clone to throw out here because I am loving this smoke more and more as she cures. She is a small one so won't be much here but she looks really good.

The homemade PE girls. Big girl 1st.

The 2 clones I took off the big girl. Just cut them and stuck em in the ground and they rooted great. If only it were always that easy.

The smaller PE.

I'll have some pics of the scrog up tonight. Peace

Thanks a lot stone, you've been such a help, I am flipping to 12/12 sunday after 24 hours of darkness, stop in once in a while

edit: sorry to hear about your stuff being jacked, it happend to me last year woke up, all my rims gone, left on cinderblocks like the 70's ...

 

[Javadog]

Yeah, that sucks SS, but it is good that it is over.

Get busy!

:0)

[stoneslacker]

Yeah too true JD, I don't bother spending time looking in the rearview. Usually end up in a big wreck if you're not looking forward. Plus that's why we have insurance, although my agent doesn't seem to think so.

Thanks FJG. Ya I had that happen to me once a good while back. They were just some crappy knockoffs from the Whitney catalog lol, so didn't cost me too much in the end.

Man I really pushed the little grow cab to the limits this round. It is getting harder to take them out and water and their are clinging together a bit. Just have to be extra careful to avoid some breakage. I'm sure to be hexing myself here, but this is the first grow I haven't mutilated at least one branch before the stretch ends.


I love this Blue Hash plant. She has an amazing spread so far and I can't wait to see her fill in. She is not overly indica in growth, real nice thin blade leaves and a good bit of lankiness to her. She is already getting a good bit of blueberry smell to her and I'm loving that.

Cheese is already smelling skunky as hell. She reminds of the bluecheese but suprisingly more fruity and sweet smelling. She has a fairly nice spread on her, a little low and sparse in the middle but good overall coverage.

AKS is the difficult one. She "sweats" a lot and builds up puddles on her leaves. It was overly humid the last week and I cranked the lumatek up to superlumens. Doh!

She has gotten a bit of stretch during week 2 but she is way behind the other 2 in height and screen coverage. Lucky for me I still have my trusty wood block, and I can keep her up with the others. She has a lot of height variation in her canopy as the main terminal ends far outpaced the interior branches.

Amazing, I think that's the 1st time I didn't include one of my feet in the overhead pics!


Some canopy shots. It's pretty full in there.

Peace

Edit: Wish the posts would always format the same. Makes for one long ass post when the formatting goes random.

Dude, so sorry to hear about your shit getting jacked, glad to hear though that it has sorted itself out finally

We definitely have the same tastes bro, hence why I love your grows, I'm always envious of the strains and the workmanship you put in to them

My project is going well man, I seem to have nailed picking the right girls for the job and the male blueberry is something special, smells delicious and goes are dark rich purple in cooler weather. I've now picked off the flowers and collected the pollen for the back crossing of the skunk and mango also going to do a medicine man x blueberry over summer to add to the mix!

You and Flowa certainly have growing these girls down to a fine art, your indoor and outdoor girls are looking AMAZING! I'm intrigued as to how you get your canopies so perfect and you get to know their nute needs pretty damn quickly which isn't easy to do! Top work brother as always

 

[StevieStoner]

First off, sucks what happened to you with your stuff bro. its never nice going outside to see your car has been broken into. Do you use a gps with the suction cup mount for the windshield? If so keep some wipes in your car just incase, alot of thieves look for the imprint of the mount on the glass. Just a courteous fyi.

At least i know where you been all this time...with those outdoor girls huh. They look nice man. Did you plant them in the ground or pot them and bury them with your own mix?

Those canopy shots are one of a kind. Sort of reminds me of the BJ because of how packed things are in there! Great work bro!

 

[whocares100]

Stone they looks awesome, maybe I'll post some of my experimental girls soon...

Can't ask for better than that mate, only 2 males but still got an excellent specimen. That Blue Shiva sounds so damn good, great choice of a hybrid there. As far as the canopy I use a lot of nylon string and duct tape, throw in a bit of cussing and force her flat. I'm doing pretty well and getting better every time, but I am definitely not ashamed to admit that Flowa is in another stratosphere. Dude is just plain sick. Gives us all something shoot for. ATB mate, I'll be in touch by PM.

Thanks bro, funny thing is my GPS got stolen out of my work truck last year! The outdoor girls are doing pretty decent for being planted str8 in the ground. I live near a river and the back 40 is a pretty decent forest. Unfortunately they don't get near enough direct sun and I have only given them nutes a half dozen times or so.

Was a bit of an experiment to see how late I needed to throw them out to keep them on the smallish side. I put them out between the last week of July and the first week of August then topped em. The only one that really had some growth was the big PE, the Maz and small PE both stayed 18-22", the bigger PE about 36" and I supercropped the hell out of her.

The scrog canopy is definitely a bit fuller than the BJ round. I can't get a shot from the same distance and fit the whole canopy in this round. This is the closest I could get, previous grow 1st, current 2nd. Both around day 20.

Stone they looks awesome, maybe I'll post some of my experimental girls soon...

Thanks Who. Would love to see some pics, feel free to post away! Experimental is always interesting to me. Peace

 

[Lemon king]

oooo going on pickys only looks like this rounds ladies are making you work for ya money in terms of level canopy......your doing a great job well done!!

 

[StevieStoner]

LOL, def alot bigger then the last BJ you ran. I was talking about my BJ run in terms of cab space. pushed my space to the limits and it looks like you got the same thing going on.

 

[stoneslacker]

Yeah they are fighting for any space they can get in there. I am finally done with stretch for the most part so it's getting easier to keep them even. Maybe slightly less veg next time I'm thinking. I need to run a dedicated strain set for a few grows sometime. Hard though as I do like my variety and there are so many strains to choose from. Peace mate

Yes just like your blackjack round, crammed full. You ended up pretty damn good so I've got hope. The scrog at least keeps much of the vertical growth in check, so I'm looking pretty good on height. Just waiting for them to fill in. ATB bro

 

[lospsi]

excellent job sir,how many weeks did you veg for that?

 

[stoneslacker]

excellent job sir,how many weeks did you veg for that?

Thanks lospsi. This round was about 5 1/2 weeks of veg from seed. I usually start from clones and average about 3 weeks of veg, this round I was unable to transplant and get them in the grow cab as soon as I like. I probably could have flipped a week earlier but I wanted to get the Afghan kush a bit more screen coverage.

 

[steeliesteve]

Looking great my SS brother! Ive got a cheese bean coming as a freebie from the 'Tude. I've never knowingly had cheese so I'm kinda excited about it. Later man

 

[Javadog]

I got that too, from Dinafem IIRC. I looked it up and it does look like the Cheese.
It is a multi cup winner. I look forward to trying it.

JD

 

[whocares100]

Steelie I love CHEESE, good stuff, pop those beans as soon as u can man, and enjoy...Mine grew great even under CFL lights, so if I can do it, you can do it AWESOMER than me

 

[StevieStoner]

Its funny, I cant speak for anyone else but i actually get more excited about the freebies then i do the actual seeds i bought haha.
