cannabis and commitment fighting cancer. a budding grow journal.

Got a little bit of seed working its way out of the plug when I woke up. Otherwise things are as expected.still forming clusters waiting on the swell. Starting to see a few brown pistils on the heavy indica mendawg so I'm guessing about new years they'll be the first to come down.

Right on. 4 new babies above ground. I went back through the collection and am 90% certain these are snowdawg bx but there's also a 10% chance its blackberry kush lol.

Hey guys. Buds are looking good coming along well. The mendawgs are starting to ripen up nicely and are nearing flush. All is well except one is starting to show what is looking like magnesium deficiency.. I'd like another week before she starts changing on me so ill hit her with a little extra magnesium sulfate next water and hope she's sustained. Never seen a strain so hungry for it. I had her on botanicares Cal may at 1.5x recommended and she was still "praying for magnesium " buds are looking good and smelling like fermented grape and banana in a bin with a baby diaper lol.

As I thought would be the case, I am out of 6" ducting so while its ready to hang it'll be Saturday at tthe earliest before I can afford more unless I manage to sale my ppm 4.The Epsom salt seems to have stopped the yellowing in its tracks so that's good. Fuckin chemdawg hybrids love their magnesium. Other than that not a lot going on. The indicas are starting to swell slowly and the sativas are foxtailing away. Jtr is frosting up very nicely. Thinking she must just get ground up for hash.

:joint: getting excited for harvest. Hoping they'll all be finished up by the 10th of january
 
Well Im still waiting on $ before I can do anything with the 400 but the 250 was layin around so I threw it inti the flower tent til I get the 400 set up. Then ill move the 250 over to veg. For now I've unplugged the 600hp in veg and put them under the 400mh. The seedlings were starting to look a bit stretchy.

Took a few pics for the hell of it. Enjoy :joint:

I love chemdog. But if I see another nanner that bitch is gonna get it. Lol. Found two so far and its just the one gal but I think we can all agree its inconvenient.
Anyway seedlings don't seem to be streatching anymore and I found a few odd ducting pieces paying around so I got the 400mh and the 600hps running in veg ATM. .. I know I know... get used to it its gonna be changing every few weeks til its back where I want it to be. :)

Thanks man. Happy to have ya on board. Harvest isn't too far off. I'm fighting a herm but she's.so dank looking and smelling that I can't bring myself to cut her so I've been chasing banners and am finding she Hermes much earlier than I thoughtful so here's gonna be seeds for sure and the yield likely suffered with a few being pollinated so early but nothing ill cry about. Weed didn't come without seeds back when I discovered this magnificent plant. Her clones were disposed of in grand fashion earlier today so this shouldn't be an issue again. Not a nanner in sight on any others
 
Love this day more than any. The smell of all the goodness that makes super soil mixing together.. added a few changes this batch so I did a half batch to see how it does.. well find out in February :)

Can't sleep for shit. Bout to drive over to the grow and get things in order. Got all the odds and ends I should need to get all the lights aircooled and where they need to be. I'll try and post some pics tonight
 
Took less time than expected lol. Bloom box is pumping 1600w of mixes spectrum via a dual 600hps and the 400mh. And veg is sitting at 850w mixed spectrum. Hoping to see some explosive growth between that and my modified soil mix I have high hopes for the round after next.. stay tuned things should finally be hitting full stride. Soon as these girls are done ill start perpetual again so there should always be bud porn to be enjoyed.

Still hunting for clean teens. Amazing how hard it is to find something up to standard. Oh well guess ill have to flower a few smaller than I'd like.
Transplanted and tied down a mendawg and 2 Jack the ripper into 5 gals today so they should explode here in the next week. Hopefully fast enough to make up for the gap I'm facing lol. Seedlings are starting to get a good pace as well. Cotyledons are showing tiny hints of yellowing so bytes aren't too far off.

Got a few pm's about the soil I was using and the amendments. I'm trying a new mix ATM so I wont list all I uses but here's a short list of the bases that doesnt change. The soil itself is all mixed in equal ratios.

Haven't SEEN any new male flowers but still checking twice daily. A couple are nearing flush the rest are starting to swell. Seeing more brown pistils and swollen calyx daily. Good thing too. The patients almost used up the reserves lol

Starting to look good in there. Had a small situation in that a khola got too big and broke itself off at the main stem :( I re attached it (didn't break off completely) and am hoping it'll survive to ripen up some. Well know by tomorrow if she's gonna make it. Here she is. Its an oddball pheno from the Mendo x chemdawg that's not the frostiest but its got a great flavor and (I've never grown the pheno before personally) according to a few friends yields STUPID amounts of bud. Gonna keep her around and see if there's anything great there.. I will train and stake next round lol.

Would've loved to see it swollen and finished. Maybe it'll make it but I'm definetly not gonna see full potential now.The jtr is as always was.. dank. I love growing this strain. She's a bit of a pita but always very worth the effort. Best hashplant ever lol.

Mendawg is swelling fast and the smell is kinda a greasy musky almost rotting bowl of fruity pebbles. Much more pleasant than it sounds Haha. The buds are dense as hell and she's starting to show a few purple calyx here and there. Her resin is interesting. Very large course resin glands. Excited to smoke her.

Looks like she's gonna survive. Probably wont see much more action from this khola but its nit a total loss so there's that lol.

Quick question about popping seeds in those plugs. How do you know which way the seed is going in, if the tap roots not out. Or do you wait until you see the tap root then insert the seed. Better yet can you just go over your germination process lol. I just put my seeds in my tupperware (doing the paper towel method) after 24 hours in a glass of water.
 
Just got back into town. A few more have pulled themselves down so I was forced to break out the canopy rings for support. Guess I could have bigger problems lol. Soon as photobucket is done there should be a solid 50+ pics coming. Hope ur wifi is worth a shit lol
