OffGridGrowers journey with ISS, Vsog (stadium)

looks good...

HBr on that batch I veg'd for 2 wks, the tallest was about 10" going in and the smallest waz 3" and now their all about the same size as a group at 4wks

thanks natural, its going to be a long spell in between the next few harvests, arg!!

I got the clonex solution yesterday, cleaned out the clner and put a bag liner in it, pulled all the ulgy clns and now I have 27 in the clner with clonex, along side the 50 I took and put in peat pellets. I hope they all root up at the same time! this would defiantly put me back on track! Im going to move over 8 plants to flower tonite, that will be the 2nd batch.

ah ba humbug I say, lol

I moved over a 2nd batch tonite, 8 in total and took out the tallest and smallest of the 1st batch to take some pics of, the one on the left was the 3in baby, and then other was 10in going in.



and here are closeups the 1st one is the 3in

and the 10in


and here a couple pics of the white widow doing nicely

this one is planted in the new soiless mix with out the worm castings, and you can see how its lacking in N like the other, but I watered it and its getting greener now.

so whats your estimated amount of girls you can fit in there...i really like the stadium grow

tokemaster: i can get 17 1 gal bags on one shelf, but keep in mind that you can only get that many per shelf if you lollipop the plants, like now i let them bush out a lil so i had to stagger them and that way i can get like 6 or 7 plants per shelf. on my next batch (i have 75 clns rooting up) im going to lollipop one side and let the other side bush out to see some differences.

lookin killer bro!-
u using co2?

yes HBR i got a 50lb tank, its almost empty so it lasted about a month, at 3 15min intervals during lights on, but no atmo controller so im just guessing really on ppm in the room, couldnt hurt is what i was thinking, lol hopefully i will be able to get some of them testers and see whats going on.

got ahold a decent digi camera and took some pics @6wks and you see a few of the ones that are 2wks as well.







this last one is a wide shot where you can see the 2wks, and some "supercropping" on that side, the other side i did not bother and they are taller than any from the 1st batch!! look

look at this mama bush

I can easily take 50+ cuttings off her. they are both ISS while i'm waiting on this white widow, and sour diesel to mature enough to take cuttings.

Your moms looks good dood! lol Dang how did you get her so bushy?
My moms are very unbushy =(
btw fiugured out why my yield sucked-had calcium def-oops

HBR, with this one i top first to get more places for cuttings so there is no "main" stem, then after the 1st cloning i did a bunch of "supercropping" to the main branches then after the 2nd cloning i did a major cut back an cut out alot of mass, it almost looked like it was bare. i keep the same nute mix which is fairly low imho. 2tsp nutes/1gal h2o after the 3rd cloning I cut out all the mass from the center, thus allowing all the lower sites to grow in. I will keep a better track on this new mama and take pics on the cut backs and the after cloning cutting to show ya. what do you mean your yield suffered due to calcium def, where you def the whole flower time?

thanks for the tips^Yep,i had just got the r/o and figured the busmasterburned the leaves,nope.ijust got a ph/ppmmeter aswell.I will soon learn what to do with them!
Also I wanted to know how wideis the walk way in your stadium?

Click to expand...

great investments.

peace and happy growing

HBr, 2' is my walkway, why? i copied your shelf formula

I wonder if we would benifit from having them closer,i need a light meter thing.

even with my cool tubes i dont think i could get much closer, i saw tip burn on a couple buds that were the closest to the lights, so i moved them over to the side but didnt move the shelf away from the light any

nice plants and set up keep up the good work

OK lets start this off by saying I have made some changes to the setup, and havent posted them so heres an update on changes.
the original SD mama almost died on me in the DWC so i took it out and transplanted into a 1 gal grow bag,this was a couple months back i nursed it back and took 5 clones off it last week, so SD is back on the quiver!! The WW is also ready to clone off and will be once i receive my order of peat pellets.
oh peat pellets you say, well my aero-cloner hasn't produced a rooted clone in 2 months!! they stay nice and perky and green but no roots. rez temps are below 75 on a regular, my ph spikes every other day, and I have not been able to figure out why, i blacked out the rez, i used the bag liners i discontinued the bag liner, no diff, i used a dome on the babies, i use no dome no effect. I change water every 2 weeks, or when the rez is low which ever comes first. h2o and clonex solution only, i know the 1st month it was off was due to the olivias, but i have used clonex for a month now and no difference, no roots!! argh so im going to can the cloner, return to the peat pellets, and come back to this when i get the material for the stadium conversion to aero. for now the plan is to convert the cloner to a veg unit for my SD and WW mamas in a month or two.
my soil mixture is now just perlite/vermiculite/spag moss only at a 4part per/verm 2part spag moss. worm castings are too much a hassle to deal with and to get ahold of here.

but on to the good stuff bud porn at 8wks!!! ISS and a pic of the other SD clone i put into flower with the ISS I dont think the SD is ready tho, I think the SD is going to be a 10 wkr imo. the ISS is supposed to be an 8wkr but this looks like it needs another week , this has to get pulled by the end of next week tho, for financial reasons, i have already started the flush on it last week


and below is the SD!


sorry for not having more pics but i snapped these right as the lights came on, and then by the time i was on the 3rd pic the lights was too bright and putting bars on my phone cam
im going to take my girls digi cam this weekend for ya!

Almost time!Lookslikesomegreat smoke,any bloomboosters used?

na, i just used bontanicare Cal-Mag plus, Liquid Karma, Pro Bloom (soil), and Sweet (berry), nothing else yet, i may try some stuff this summer but for now i want to try to get a solid idea of how this strain grows on its own. I have been a bit early on the timing of things rite now just to get some funds back, but im getting to the point now that i can afford to let them sit longer in veg and in flower. All shelves are full now and will be from here on!!
