those pics are awesome bro :)
Thanks Crit!!! :bigjoint:

I'm not sure but I think the girls are doing better since I started watering with the tea. I almost think that I have been starving them since the yellowing has slowed down a bunch! Time will tell.....

I might chop down that XJ this weekend while the wife is home. She has been riding my ass about getting to trim a plant and I am totally game for someone else to do it.

Had to go to the Big City Hospital to pick up some equipment so I hit up a couple of stores.



Lowes had these..

I went to the grow store for some perlite since Lowes only sells Miracle Grow with nutes in it. I got this 4 cubic foot bag for $23

I am going to get my ass kicked come April when I mix up 100 gallons or so of soil for the greenhouse in the basement!!! That will give it two months to cook while the ground thaws out.

Hmmm.. Time for a new tea brew!!

You love your booze eh? :lol:

Plants look real dank! nice work

Soil looks real great too

That is just part of the booze.. :dunce: The wife works for the local wine and spirits distribution company so she gets a shit load of freebies.

Thanks for the kind words. The plants are suffering the usual fate of yellowing on the margins! I am now leaning towards a soil ph issue. I believe I'm at a ph of 6.4 so that would explain my problem.

So far after watering with the tea I have yellowing of entire fan leafs like they are hungry on a couple of the plants. I will see what they look like in a few more days.

The wife was all excited to help trim the XJ-13 yesterday so we headed out to the room with coffee in hand. We put on some music and burned a bowl then got to trimming!!

I got done with my second top as the wife was finishing her first ever!!! She was pretty stoked!! I chopped off another top as did she.. I was just finishing up on mine when she said.














This Suck's!!!!!

I just laughed and said it will get easier with time. I trimmed another one while she finished up hers then we went inside for breakfast. I guess I will finish up tomorrow.

So I had a day (yesterday) where I had a clear'ish head... Doesn't happen very often any more :-(

I was looking back at my yellowing issues and what they might be telling me. I am now on the path to raising the PH of my soil! I have had a soil PH of what I thought was 6.4'ish for almost a year. This is what the meter reading looked like... I now believe that reading is 5.9!!!!

20140113_101453.jpg


So I started adding Dolomite Lime to my tub of used soil. So far this morning I see an improvement!! I am going to say that reading is 6.6'ish :-P

20140120_155312.jpg


So far what I have for soil is.....


22 gallons of used soil
12 cups chicken manure
18 cups steer manure
9 cups mushroom compost
12 cups forest compost
22 cups perlite
1/2 cup Ironite
2.5 cups peletized garden lime (last of the bag)
4 cups dolomite lime (adding more as I go to adjust PH up)
4 cups alfalfa meal
4 cups kelp meal
1/4 cup bone meal
1/4 cup blood meal
1/3 cup Jobes organic fertilizer 4-4-4

This mix looks and smell great so far!!


Any and all comments are welcome!!!! :bigjoint:

My 2 cents?? Ditch the meter :) In the past I spent so much time checking pH...what a waste of time that was...

I hear you guy's! I would not trust that meter to be accurate.

I have classic symptoms of Mag deficiency even after watering with Cal-Mag. A ph lower than 6.5 would start locking out Magnesium along with Calcium so I figured raising the PH of the soil might do the trick.

I am getting ready to up-pot a plant in veg that is already showing yellowing of the margins and will give some of this soil a try. I have plenty of plants to test with!!

I am sure after this soil sits for a few days and mixed a few times the PH will settle down some since I can poke around in there and find spots that read way different...

After 67 days I decided to take out this little girl! Blue Magoo before removing the shade leafs.

Thanks Red!!


After getting all of that done I spent a few hours playing with my bubble bags. I had the trim from the last two plants that needed to be dealt with.

I used 4 bags this time. The 220,120,73 and 25.



The 120 bag.

20140127_130854.jpg


The 73 bag.

20140127_130859.jpg


And the 25 bag.

I turned off the light's for a swiffer cleaning of the cool tubes....

Here is the Shopping bag Blue Magoo (Giant Plant) at day 34.9 and 54+ inches tall. The bend in the stalk is just above the black line on the back wall.

20140204_110946.jpg

The lowest branch on the plant.

20140204_111012.jpg

A mid branch

20140204_111021.jpg

Mid/upper branch

20140204_111031.jpg

The top

20140204_111046.jpg
20140204_111100.jpg

The bend... It amazes me that the plant is still supporting its self. I do have a wire 1/2 inch under it just in case she gives.

20140204_111109.jpg

Here is a size comparison shot. The left flower is the end of the lowest branch on the giant plant, the one on the right is the largest top on the Tri-Ploid.. :mrgreen:

20140204_111146.jpg

The popcorn on this is going to be the size of golf balls :hump:

I need to figure out how to get away with growing one of these in the sun shine, in the ground..... My greenhouse is just not tall enough at 10 feet!!!:twisted:
