Growitup Greenhouse 2011

No kidding man, I just finished the last of the bubba I grew last year, cured for six months.
Ya know, out of all the strains the Blueberry actually did the best in curing, I mean over time it kept getting better. Well, that's gone too now but good to know.

GTO picked this strain for me. Havent seen him in a while.

Anyway, I got some pics of the bubba in the greenhouse this morning.










Here is the trainwreck, she's budding too.






With bubba on those casters I can move it where it gets the best sun and out of the way so I can get back there to train.
I think the tangerine dream is about done stretching but no buds yet. Fed them twice this week, think I am going to keep that up.

Looks like it's going to be another bud bonanza come harvest time

That greenhouse is gonna smell incredible in about two weeks.....lol!!! It looks very lush in there!
All the Best!!

wow man That is the GREENEST GREENHOUSE EVER. Great job !!!Abosolutely outfuckingstanding work. One question you say you will cut the ties and let them go.Why do you do this ?I thought the whole idea of a screen was to keep the nice even and level canopy that way all the buds will get equall lighting. Just a thought .wow man really .hows the smell?I think youll get more than last years .What was it 7 or 8 lbs.

Bud bonanza, I like the sound of that. As long as I can keep old Hoss rounded up I should be alright.

Well rightfuckingon man! Glad you enjoy the journal. About the training, when I sad let them go I meant stop training and let the buds fill out. There will be a few ties I will release but most will stay. Matter of fact today I started tying some lower branches up to the chicken wire on the roof. All those tie points up there are already coming in handy. Dont know if I will yield more then last year. I had more plants then and let them rip but this is starting to shape up.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I got stoned before the video and forgot what I was saying half way through.
What I was getting at is the plant that I left all those lower shoots didn't get real tall like the others.

amazing bro, just amazing.

Cool man good to hear you got it down, did you do those aero gardens?
Yeah, that was the only thing I could think of doing for that train wreck, worked out pretty good.

Well the aero gardens are only used for veggies, this is because they are not easy to move in a hurry, I do all my special plants in easily portable containers in case I need to move them. However I got bored and started to supercrop my tomatoes, works on them too.
In the past I have used the aero gardens as cloner's and theyproduce a Soil ready, thick and healthy seedling really fast.

I’ve been working on before and after Pictures of the suppercropping I’m doing on some Super Lemon haze, and Vanilla Kush. I will get them up soon. The trick I’ve found is to actually break the stem slightly even if it snaps halfway through it will be fine given proper food water and light. That way the stems don’t stand back up before new baby colas can form. its amazing what these plants can endure!

All of my plants respond well to super cropping except one strain in my box. The Northern Lights I have in there seems to have a delicate stem, although I did wait until she was a bit mature to start cropping her. I agree, its amazing what they can endure. I have some gnarly looking stems from past harvests that most people could not even recognize as cannabis stems lol.

Talk about what they can endure, I forgot about a tie I did last year on the blue cheese. check this out,



The tie was yarn that cut off the main stock and the lower stuff just exploded.
It had one branch that started at the base and grew taller then the rest of the plant.

Took a close look at the plants and I got spider mites, set off a dr doom fogger at sunset.



The concentration seems to be towards the center of the greenhouse so I covered the vent with a tarp and set it there.

cali must be full of mites!! sucks to hear that, but it was somewhat expected given how bad they were last year.

fucking mites, always manage to find their way in. least you caught them early man, guessing the damage isnt too bad?

Yeah people in California love their yards so there is foliage everywhere. I knew they were coming. Its getting better though, last year at this time I had like 10 times more mites then I do now. I had already set off a second fogger by now.

I figure the preventive measures I took helped, I should have kept it up though, only sprayed twice. Every two weeks would have been better. The other thing is, there is just so much in there, its hard to reach everything with the spray but the foggers get them.

The plan is to wait two weeks then let another fogger go, then two weeks after that when more of the lower leaf is dead and gone, remove the front panels for access and hit all the leaf with floromite and put the panels back on. I understand the floromite dissipates in 30 days so that should last a month. By that time they will be in full flower putting on the weight and I will use the CO2 to gas them once a week. Also by mixing it up like this I don't run the risk of creating a super mite. All my nutes are organic and I would prefer to use organic means to rid the mites but I guess that just doesn't happen in California.

That oughta kick the spider mites ass and leave me with clean monster buds.

theyre gonna wish they'd never gone in there cruz, good work man

sounds thorough enough for me!!!

good call cruz dont let up on them fuckers! they wont stop. I think we all knew u would see the mites eventualy. goodluck man
