These were taken last weekend at week 4 of veg. Just got my new hard drive installed lastnight after 4 hours of updating. I'll take some new pics tonight and make a post all proper-like. She's pretty much doubled in size compared to these pics and looks just as gorgeous. Lots of stuff to tell you all...stoked! Off to work...l8rz

Haven't seen ya in awhile man! Lookin good though damn..

What rooting supplement are you using?
Thanks VO ;) I gotta say the first thing I did when the pc was fixed was login to RIU lmao. Phuckin miss this site...weird? Nywayz yea, she gets Thrive Alive Red and Sugar Daddy all the time. For the first couple weeks tho I was hitting her with the Root 66 and the Thrive Alive Green foliars. I dont use any H202 as I'm not that familiar with it and with the low water temps I don't have nearly as much brown tinting to my water anymore. Ima smash this chicken ranch pizza and then get crackin with my pics and post :D Thanks for swingin by man! Alwayz a pleasure...back in a tick

Week 1 Flower 003.jpg



So here's DK(Flaming Kirby) at Day 6ish of Flower. I just flipped her to 12/12 last weekend and damn has she grown! VERY VERY thick, nice shades of green with pistils starting to come on. Her smell is starting to get intense as well. I remember very clearly just tucking her and catching a strong whiff of somethin stinkay ;) She's got a little over 1/2 the screen filled now, but tomorrow she'll have a new bucket and such. I made 3 buckets with drains and water-level guages over the last few days so I wont have to move the screens anymore. I topped and LST'd this bitch when she was really small so her limbs are nice and horizontal. She gets her last fan-leaf trim tomorrow as well then she'll be permanently screened. I have to weed out some smaller nodes and such because she's crowded, but shouldnt be any big issue. I shall get my 3-5 oz off her o_O

P.S. Sorry for the delay with updates...it was not my intentions of starting a thread and then half-assing it :/ Damn you technology and your constant neediness!!

Thanks for swingin by Eirik ;) This will be my 2nd actual SCROG. My 1st attempt proved too little too late, but last round was awesome and this round is more of an experiment I guess? I just wanted to see how much I could learn from just doin one plant and letting her go....I've learned alot so far and she should do well. I dont think going without a screen is in my future lulz....and even my wife loves to train em up.

So I'm finally back to regular posting again! No thanx to my hard drive failing!! Sorry for updates taking so long in this instance, but it's not my style or goal in life to be a sucky RIU'er so ima redeem myself right quick ;)

Made new buckets and a new Veg box! Buckets now have drains and water gauges on em which should help alot me thinx. DK got a trim tonight and she looks loads better :D She's almost 15" wide or so in the screen now with pistils coming on strong and nodes developing everywhere. I'm pretty sure I have really good light penetration, but it's still early so we'll see. The last 3 pics are of her AFTER the trim. I also swapped her water out for straight bloom nutes as well. I skipped a change last weekend and just mixed Veg with partial Bloom and let it ride another week...she seemed to dig it.

PH--> 5.5-6.0

Yea man the PW should be really fun to get to know ;) I got my PPM meter off of amazon for like $13 I think if it helps you at all. There are some expensive ones out there for sure, but you dont need a gold-plated meter to make shiz work :D Thanx for the post man and for sure lemme know whats up with ur grow op

  • So for some reason I'm thinking the timing of my last post was off or stuff. The whole pc crash really has me screwed on timing or w/e, but these were taken a few mins ago and from the looks of it she's stretching nicely and tbh the screen is fuller than I'd thought it would be
    I dont remember her being that big the first time I grew her, but then again she was nerfed with 3 other plants as well. Pistil-production went WAY up in the past couple days, but I'm still seeing good stretch in her. The new bucket seems to be working pretty nicely. I haven't had to PH her out that much so thats a plus for surez. I check on her every day, but I only adjust her water every other day and she seems to enjoy it that way. I took a few more fan leaves off her lower canopy that were showing a slight PH deficiency and were starving for light. Umm...what else....oh yea! I made sure to keep track of my mains lulz. Last round with the 4 plants under 1 screen I played hell making sure main limbs were screen-height and I even missed a few :/ With DK this round I have excellent light penetration and her stretch really is pretty to watch. Even the smallest of branches become super-thick within days. I'm doing my training an little more lenient as well. Basically I'm controlling her overall LIMB, but not her bud sights. With the tent not being so crowded this is easily achieved so I can make sure each one has access to as much light as possible. With just this one plant I need to be sure she can be all that she can be....lulz. I'm hoping she'll thank me and get me some decent 6-10" colas, but hey...ya never know I guess. Characteristics of her are very different compared to the 1st time so it's like learning all over again.....stoked. I do however remember her VERY white and fuzzy flowering spots. The Bubblicious is similar in style until the end so I'm thinking it's more of an Indica pheno? Idk, but the WW cut I have is way fluffier and lighter buds compared to the BL and this DK if I remember right. Hope all is well with everyone..if I missed nything just holla

So I fired up the new Veg box tonight...complete with 5 Nirvana Bubblicious clones from the last couple rounds. All have roots and I'm lookin forward to watchin em perk up. I only NEED 1 of em, but I have plans for the other 4 ;) I threw in a quick pic of the DK as well. Her nodes are goin apeshit on me with the pistils, but she's still got some stretch in her. I find myself moving/removing a couple leaves here and there especially towards the middle of the screen. Everything's looking all nice and formal-like atm and she seems to be LOVING the training. There's so much new growth every 24 hours I kinda have to double-check myself to make sure I'm seeing right lulz. It's like "Oh no I have a nitrogen deficiency!" and then "Wait a minute....that whole damn section of limb is new!" lmao We got some uber-cold weather today and temps in the tent were a steady 72F :D The plus part is that it doesnt get too cold when lights off either so she should be well off with the low RH and cooler air temps. Her smell is increasing in intensity and I anticipate some showing of frosting soon. Couldn't tell for sure, but new growth does have a glimmer to it o_O

Hello Mineralz....

That strain looks like it is close to what I have growing right now....I wish I new what strain I have right now , it's a mystery...All I know is it is some kind of purp....

I gave my brother a clone of what I got and he is pollenateing some to get seeds right now....Any way that shure looks tastey.....could be a killer choice....nitro...
