DoeEyed's Perpetual Grow Log

I think you are right on the money Doe, You will see more amber pistils but amber trichs will probably be another month. Depends on the phenotype. The tops do get heavy with those "towering calxes" you may want to just mount something above them and tie them up instead of to a stick. You can just make a loop and lasso them bitches.

Those are nice looking plants despite your water.

The cheapest way to get good water is to drop a hundo on an RO machine.

Don't forget to order the float valve and 1/4" shut-off valve
so you can make your own RO rez and store 20-30 gls.

Here is a site with the best deals on RO machine and parts.

RO made my grows take-off !

I add back just the right minerals in perfect proprtion
by adding 50-100ppm of calmag plus, about 1ml/gl.

I use the Botanicare CM+,
and there are other brands available.

Calcium and Magnesium are usually in short, or improper supply,
when you use well, or tap water.

Using RO and adding calmag+
will have everything in your water in proper proportion.

Keep the pictures coming.

lol...lasso them...I'm laughing, but I'll probably have to do it, if they get much heavier!

Thanks for the info Earl, I'll have to look into it when I do my Spring upgrades.

More bud porn for you guys, taken last night: A few of the White Grow's canopy, a few trich pics from Layla (you can't see the color very well, though), and lots of various bud porn from the TW and Layla, including some of the smaller, "encrusted" buds. My buddy had the idea to take pics through the lens of a pair of sunglasses, it cut a lot of the yellow light out. Enjoy!

Looks great, Doe.


Rainwater is a great alternative if that's an option for you. From the looks of it the last thing you need is a nutrient supplement.

Gotta Love Jack's Classic

They are lookin sooooo Gooooood Doe

I think we'll create a trend?

maybe we need a Jack's Club

Thanks guys! Classic Club, Jack's Club, either way it'd be ok.

Doe, so all those pics were taken when the HPS was running. Polarized glasses? That did a great job. I wonder if my "digital macro" will work through them? Nice little find! Everything in there looks great. Like Cruzer said you could always tie them up. I am making tripods in each pot out of 4-5ft bamboo sticks and then running all of my support wires from the center.........

what a excellent idea...hmmmm sunglasses! But where is the picture of the sun and clouds...lol!

Yeah who would of thought such a thing possible? Nope - no pictures for them. lol

dam doe the pictures lood great!!! i'm off to try the shades over the lens thing.

Haven't had a chance, apparantly my sunglasses are MIA. Think there is a band of teenagers stealing out of cars in my area. How's the flowering room? What are you giving them now a days?

It's good.....lol I give them Jack's Classic Blossom Booster, and veg nutes right along with it. Also use molasses twice a month. Layla got pulled yesterday - she was ready, for sure. Now that she's not in there, I rearranged a bit, got the four tallest of the white grow under the light with the TW, so there are now 8 plants under one light, and 7 under the other. They all look much happier. I got a couple pics of that Moby Dick right before she got chopped - I'll post them next couple days, maybe when I get a weight on her. I can say this - her buds are solid... each of the four main colas, weighs almost an ounce each, wet. That makes her, alone, a bigger yield than all three of the plants of my first two grows, and still got the TW to go! I'm excited guys. Yeah, we had to quick dry a small nug...she's killer, even fresh off the plant. Lots of pics will be coming next week.

I love vegging under MH, I started with MH then switched to flouros. I definitely think the MH is faster.........

Hey Doe, came over to see your dna Lemon skunk and now got a good seat for the TW. You've sure done well. I'm watchin' slabhead

Hey slabhead, welcome aboard! I'll be posting new pics sometime before the weekend is out - got new batteries for my camera yesterday, but went too cheap, and they don't even have the power to charge my flash, so...
The lemon Skunk will be big enough to top this Sunday already, so maybe new pics on Saturday! The TW should be done within the next week or two - trichs are already about 90% cloudy, with a few scattered amber here and there. They really aren't getting that "finished" look yet though, like others do.

An wet ounce each cola! Woa that's great. I'm hoping for a similar OMG experience when I get to havest time. Never had a grow go all the way under decent lights/nutrients/ph'd water before this one.

Ahh come on, ya gotta love droopy. She all gone now?

lol...the Droopster didn't make it far....at a whopping 12.6g was it? She didn't last a month!
Thanks DenseBuds... yeah final dry weight on that plant, 40g. I cannot believe how much the colas lost in the drying - from almost an O each, down to between 5-6g apiece. Kinda makes me sad. But still got the TW to go!

You would think they would be more than that, I would think 7+ grams, TW should be good. I got the OG Kush X Trainwreck going, hope it has that TW look/ yield and OG taste.......

Yea, I stopped weighing it wet.
I remember my 1st big indoor was like 1080 grams wet. I was stoaked.
It dried to 280 gms. Not as stoked but still stoked.

So figure 25 to 30% of wet weight on stems will be actual bud weight and you will be close.

Keep those numbers commin, you got a couple oz's to go yet.
