Off Grid Grow - SidV returns

O/ everyone. Been 9 years since I posted any grows. This journal will show the start of new mothers from seed to the flowering clones they provide all with wallyworld led's and nutes. Everything is off grid. Electricity is provided from solar and generator power. Water will be provided by good ol rain & melted snow. This journal will be like my 2010 posted grows where everything can be bought a local wallyworld or local crap store.

Yes I still do normal grows but those are boring. Its funnier to do what everyone says sucks and show nice big chunky bud can be grown using dirt cheap supplies available everywhere!

Veg and flowering lights will be el cheapo great value led's obtained from wallyworld.

Pics to be posted in the next few days.

NOTE: Crappy powder cloning solution from wallyworld does work but I will be using the old classic Olivia's or clonex.

See you all in a few days and enjoy the grow.

This thread is open to responses and comments BUT if you only respond negative find another journal or learn to be constructive.


SidV

Look forward to seeing your pics.

Pics to be posted this weekend. Seedling to now

Looks like I can post pics. I have up until the 7th on my phone. (24th Nov to 7th dec)

So here's some yucky start pics.

Dec 8 - 10th
Took 1 top from 2 of the back right plants (front left lol. Camera view lol). No others will be touched until sex shows.
Growth has started to Boom so nutes will be introduced tonight.

Dec 11 & 12

Best toppings always happen by mistake

Dec 13 - 15
Starting to take shape.

Dec 16

Dec 17 & 18

Area moved. Gopro not setup in new area. Crap phone pic after move. Threw them in same order but pic would tech be from normal back side. Cell phone cant remove spectrums so lighting looks pretty bad in pic.

Rooting clones will now take up previous area

Dec 23
had power and heat issues for a few days. Loosing power off grid in the winter is never a good thing. Adding a few more to the battery bank in the next few days. Should not have another power loss.. hopefully.

Dec 29
Removed a couple of plants that just were not up to par

Eliminated all but 2 mothers. Clones are all almost rooted. Will post 2 moms and start daily clone pics from start to finish.

Almost 2 weeks into flower. Have to pull all the tricks for this space and crowding. Total of 4 plants removed. 3 Hermes and 1 to make space for larger plant. All in all not looking bad for like 13 days into flower.
Below are animated gifs from start of flower. Missing 2 days and a few solo pics

Pretty much using all methods on this grow. Accepted and non accepted. Some of the methods used in this grow are

Lst, super cropping, selective & super defoliation etc.

People hate defoliation and in most cases I do to but there are 12 flowering plants in an area that probably shouldn't even have 3.

I am also allowing temps to drop to high 30's to mid 40's in dark cycle. (Crazy eh).

Clones got a little too tall because they were taken before mothers showed so they needed a few weeks to mature before they started to flower. Second kept mother has been axed because it was hermie, but luckily I had kept a few clones of one of the other mothers since the 3 clones I flowered from it are showing amazing pheno's. So back to two mothers.

Still pushing to show a few large colas with this grow but going for most weight I can get.

Area has 12,000LUM 2700-3000k psf and 1600LUM 5k for veg help. Less than 150 watts total.

Another flowering pic

A few more pics

1 of the 3 of axed mom that i am now making a new mother from. This clone has been flowering for maybe 5 days.

The 1 mom that's left from originals
