First Grow - 2 x 1000w

I grew from all female clones, and I didn't see any of my girls with that type of growth. I am looking through the Marijuana Horticulture Medical Growers Bible, and I cannot find what it might be. I am bumping this thread in case a more experience grower can give an opinion.

Well the guy I got them from said they were from female mothers, but who knows. I didn't personally know him.

I've been watching supercrop videos for the last 2 hours and nobody has mentioned it. I posted a new topic in the plant problem area. It's had a bunch of views, no replies...

nice grow, subbed. to bad about the Suzuki

Thanks mugan. Yea it is sad, but I shall ride again!!

Started playing jazz for my ladies yesterday after their watering. Temp is at 80, humidity is at 58%, ppm is 925 and soil ph is roughly 6.7-6.9. The branches that were bent/twisted are already sprouting new life. Supercropping is definitely a friend of mine.

Ok so my plants seem to be doing really well after yesterdays bending and breaking. My cheese plants are growing super super fast. The master kush just sprouted a ton of new branches within the last 2 days. The lemon skunk look pretty sad but I'm hoping they start looking a lot better soon. Can't wait to see what they do under the full 1000w MH with 6 hours of rest.

Here's a pic of the little bubbles that are popping up. I'm hoping this is not my plant showing signs of being a male or hermie... If anyone knows please let me know.

I dont know what that is but it could be maybe a side branch ready to pop out or something....I had something like that when I grew my G13, I LST'd it and noticed the same thing and it ended up being a branch. Just keep an eye on your Sup Crop job on that stalk.....looks ripped or torn, hopefully it will turn into a KNUCKLE!!!!

I had a GSXR 600, street fighter style, I stunted with it all the time. Crash cage, 12-bar, 65T Rear Sprocket Rear Hand Brake system and no fairings....I miss that bike but I dont miss recovering from crashing or wiping out. You made a wise choice my friend, bud over bikes any day IMO.

Peace

Yeah I know what you mean. They are starting to fill out into branches. I've had a few that were ripped down the center but they closed up real nice and fat. The only reason I'm trying this on my first grow is the room has a height restriction. The ceiling is only 6'2", minus the xxxtreme 8" hood thickness... and the 5 gal pots...I need bush lol

My first bike was a 2003 GSX R600, had it lowered 4" and pretty much everything was chrome. Here's a pic:


My 2006 1000 was red and black...scary fucking fast. Honestly, I miss the 600 a lot more. Much lighter and easy to throw around. I didn't stunt much but I could ride a decent wheelie. The 1000 would come up when I didn't want it to. It was tough to sell, but it was the right thing to do. I traded it for something that has always been a part of my life and enjoying every second of it, without the risk of dying haha

Lookin good. I use the same tap water you do. In the last 3 years, I never have had issue with chlorine or our water. It goes right from the tap to the plants for me. There are several good, peer review, studies concerning adding co2 during the veg stage. It seems that stomata development is directly related to the co2 a plant is exposed to in it's veg phase. If it was me, I would opt for co2 only in flower. Transpiration is a major component in bud growth, I would think you would want as many stomata per leaf as possable, an then super charge ur plant with co2 in flower. Lol, I had an old bsa in high school. I swear I could have towed a truck with it. The neighbor kid let me ride his Ninja. I screwed the fucken throttle down and thought I'd shit my pants. In 3 seconds I was goin so fast, I couldn't throttle down,lol. I'm too old to be goin so fast. Keep up the good work bro.

That node growth looks totally normal to me.

That's good to hear. A friend of mine uses the same water and he never lets it sit out either. It comes out of the tap and into the plants, so I started doing the same. The plants seem to enjoy it so I won't change anything there. I also took your advice about the co2 and turned it off. My co2 controller is still showing around 400-500ppm naturally in the room now instead of the 925-1000ppm I had it at. I'll blast it when I start my flowering

Yesterday I topped off the soil after I watered.

Today I set up my MDT-1 for the 18/6 veg cycle. The plants look ready to start growing in a major way.

Master Kush:





Here's a pic of a giant knuckle from where I supercropped my Master Kush.
Pretty cool how they repair themselves SO fast. That branch was snapped!


Blue Cheese:


Lemon Skunk: (which I'm hoping start to look better soon...)



In this pic you can see the lemon skunks on the far side. Compared to the others they look awful. Something needs to change. I even thought about giving UB's topping method a try on at least two of them. At this point I don't think it would hurt...



When the lights come on, so does the smooth Jazz and their fan. Lights out, radio off, fan stays on, air scrubber stays on. After two weeks in veg I'll start slowly introducing them to their new food, the Humboldt nutes!

I turned the ballast up to 100% so they are now receiving the full 1000w MH. Before now it was set to 75%, not 50% as I think I stated in a previous post. One thing about turning up the ballast is the temp went up 2 degrees (up to 86) and I have zero ventilation... which may not be such a good thing when I start running both 1000w HPS... we'll see what happens.

I'm still indecisive about how to bush these babies out. Any suggestions on how I should go about it would be appreciated. For now I'm supercropping the tops of the tallest plants. When they grow a little more I was going to put them through LST, but if there is some other method please let me know. Wish me luck!

lol crotch rockets are no joke. Even my 600 had some nice speed from the line. The 1000 though... way too fast for someone like me. I get on that thing fearless and end up doing stupid shit. I caught a case for disobeying a police officer signal, speeding 130/50 construction zone (double fine), reckless driving and no proof of insurance. I took it to trial and won since they had no witnesses. Oh yeah, it wasn't me anyway!! haha or was it? So yea it was probably the best idea for me to sell it lol

I've seen 2 motorcycle deaths on 75, and 1 in Maryland. No helmet ever made would have saved those guys. I would love a bike to tour on, but the death defying bs is all over for me.
Just a heads up, when your lights go out, the stomata close. There is no real reason to keep a fan on, as no transpiration takes place. And I don't see a need for the air scrubber till the plant starts cranking out the resin and extractives that start smellin up the joint. Some plants do start smelling a little early but you should let your nose be your guide on that one.

A good friend of mine lost his brother last summer on 696. He spent two weeks in ICU and then he passed. Needless to say my friend sold his bike shortly after. They are dangerous but the thing I noticed most is the other people on the road do not pay attention to motorcycles. People drive with their heads up their asses or with their cell phone in hand or up to their face. You know how the idiots around here drive lol Everyone is in a hurry to get to the next traffic light!

I'm keeping the fan on to strengthen up the stems, no other real reason. The lemon skunk plants I have are stinking up my entire house if I don't leave the air scrubber on. I have a young son that spends the weekends with me so it's a must to leave on.

I just did some major topping and pruning. I took the advice of about 15 people and did the best I could. This could make me or break me so cross your fingers lol The temp in there is the only thing I'm really worried about. It's at 86 mid-day and only one of the lights is running. I'm in serious need of some venting but I can't spend anymore loot on this grow so I'll be monitoring the shit out of it.

Just remembered I have the gas company coming to my house tomorrow. They will be moving my gas meter outside. Currently it's in my basement...right NEXT to my grow room. I blocked off all access to the room and to the side of the room where my equipment is mounted. Hope these guys don't get too nosey. I'm gonna be on them like flies on shit.

Your garden is looking nice bro, have a watchful eye on tearing or busting stalks like that, when its open like that its very vulnerable to diseases and shit. Looks good just keep an eye out.

I agree with chicken, save your filter for Flowering when you need it. Its a waste during Veg phase.....but I do run my fans 24/7, I like good air circulation in my tent plus it helps prevent PM.

Peace

Wow, I never even thought about the chance of disease... it does seem good for now though. We'll see.

As for the filter, I have to keep it on because of my son. He's only 8 and after 1 day without the filter on, my entire house stinks of skunk. I don't want that smell around him so it's a worthy cause IMO

Right on about the PM. People think fans blowing on stems strengthen or thicken stems. Its a case of cause and effect. Story: An alien lands on Earth. It's very windy and the alien notices the great branches of the trees swaying back and forth and thinks to himself "If those trees would stop waving their branches, it wouldn't be so windy out.
People assume that because they can see the stems and leaves moving, that is the action that is causing the stems to thicken. Not so. The thing that is causing the stems to thicken is the act of transpiration. The wind blowing across the stomata on the underside of the leaves, causing the plant to transpire 02 and h20. As the stomata are only open during the times when light is present, fans blowing in the dark do nothing in this regard. This is information that is passed by what I call "conformation by repetition". If enough credible sources say the same bullshit, all the sudden this bullshit become touted as fact. I grow DWC, in 18 gallon totes, under 400 watt lights, and I get 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 stems consistently, depending on strain. I never run my fan in the dark, ever. Now that is a fact.

Do you have 1 or multiple plants in a 18 gallon tote? I am learning DWC right now and started with a Coffee Can Container and I have 3 going right now. I want to learn all facets of growing, hope you can give me some tips about DWC growing. My friend on here has a thread called https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/436885-coffee-can-growers.html

Come and check it out....cool shit!!!!

@ Dubbz I can understand why you need the filter on now......Father's Day Weekend Bro, ENJOY!!!!!

Nicely put! It doesn't take much to persuade me into turning something OFF. I'm just waiting for my new and improved electric bill... lol

Thanks BKB!! I will be having some sort of fun with the little guy Sunday. It may be father's day but I'll end up doing whatever HE wants haha

I cut room for 5- 5inch netpots in the top of each tote. I have 3 totes going right now. I have a black russian and papaya tote, a gooberry and black russian tote, and a papaya tote. I want everything to finnish before August 20, because im leaving for Burning Man on the 22. Ill start it all back up when I get back in the middle of September. I got spider mites (this has been a bad year for getting mites), so i laid down some tripple threat, preditor mites. This will get me through quite nicely. I'm definatly going to keep the Papaya going somehow, so when I get back I still have this pheno, of this strain.
