thanks bro....I'm not so concerned with the yellowing as I am with the fecking brown tips everywhere.....I mean you've been following, am I misdiagnosing this as nute burn? Thought it might have been the lights, but shite, it's not THAT hot and they are cfl's and the brown tips are on every fecking level....and I've tried everything with the nutes....hey, if we continue to get a good quality yeild, as has been the case, I guess I'll put up with it....it bothers me though....oh yeah, we'll see with Allison as she's a different strain....:joint:
Yeah brown tips usually signifies nute burn.
Like you say though when yield is still good not a real concern.
I can see how it would annoy the feck out of ya though.
It will be very interesting to see how your new strain goes.

well a quick update because moves are being made....:joint:

ok, Xtasy is graduating Friday, so we're going to try something we read and keep her in the dark till then.... instead of wasting the lights we switched her and Zahena2.0....we will not 12/12 Zahena2.0 yet, Saturday will be the day....:joint:

so as you can see, Xtasy is in her autmn, hehe, we stopped nutrients 2 weeks ago and boy does it show....her buds however are as frosty as her sisters if not better....also we should see a better yield than Veronica as no pruning was done, thank the maker.....:joint:

moving on to Zahena2.0...man she looks hot...feck, probably the best looking so far...she is so bushy with tons of places for the buds to form.....oh man, can't wait to see what happens in the next month....we'll keep her in 24 till Saturday, then 12/12.....

at the same time we graduate Xtasy, Allison will take over her spot and we should start seeing some real growth...not too much of a hurry here as Zahena2.0 is still the PPP strain and will take 8 weeks to develop the way I like it.....as mentioned previously, Allison is our second name strain, White Rhino, and am looking forward to not only the grow, but the results as well...just looking at her now at this stage, you can see she is a different type plant...:joint:played

peace.....

anyhow that the update...any questions...hehe

Buds are looking great KB.

yeah right now the buds are coming out fantastic, the last two yields though are somewhat disappointing....thanks for the props mammath...sorry I don't gert to your journal too much lately, but me job is keeping me ass quite busy...no guitar today, taking a day off.... fingers hurt....:joint:..notice I got a new guitar...I decided I want to keep at it, so needed to by a better guitar than the starter I had....it sounds way fecking better than the other and I only need to tune it occasionally....I've dropped back and started to practice more slowly...it is hard, don't know how to explain it.....anyway, I'm at 60 on the metronome and am playing four strums to E D A E preping me for Sympathy for the Devil, I can rythm it already but chord changes are hindering me and my teracher say I need to get the muscles and brain to memorize the shite so I don't have to think about the change which frankly makes a shite load of sense...also do the same four strums for a Ice Cream progression C Am Dm G which hoping will prep me for a reggae type song or maybe a fifties song....also power chords for Smoke on the Water intro....one of my all time favorite intro's AC/DC Back in Black.... major scale...pentatonic A B and D scales...all to 60 metronome....I will admit it's frustrating at times, but when you hit a progression without a miss, fecking very rewarding....

well Xtasy has graduated and although she isn't yielding all that much, she is very frosty and am confident will be just as good if not better than her sisters...but let the drying begin and we shall see...:joint:

haven't decided whether to 12/12 Zahena2.0 tomorrow or wait another week, decisions, decisions......:joint:

Allison is in the grow area now and the original Zahena is in the clone area....

here's the story.....if we decide to go 12/12 with Z2.0 it will be a minimum 8 weeks till next harvest, if we wait another week, duh, 8+1=9 weeks...hehe...:joint:

this matters because we will 12/12 WhiteRhino Allison in either 4 or 5 weeks....want to get a couple of back to back monthly harvests, even maybe three depending on how Zahena goes......:joint:

sorry everyone only the harvest pictures today as the battery is depleted and am charging as I type...so till tomorrow.....peace:joint:played

yeah, I find it hard now to even update my own shite much less get around to the other great grows...but I got a couple of days off this coming week and I'm going to just relax so I'll probably take a couple of hours and hit eveyone that supports my journal here...see yas then

moving from drying to curing with Xtasy as you can see..... awesome I think, she smells hayish now, but in two weeks?....ahhhhhhhh:bigjoint:...no flavor this time around

Zahena2.0 went 12/12 yesterday and WhiteRhino Allison is in the vegetation area....woohoo

finally a picture of the original Zahena...she pulled through and I guess she'll follow Allison while Allison's clone takes....

the roots on the girls look very, very good:wink:.....they smell nice too....from experience this is what we want, cause the girls will treat us right....peace:eyesmoke:

hehe...thanks kitty

well I've just regressed some with the 6 string...trying the Amajor chord differently which makes moving to D or E easier...so I'm back to 40 on the metronome..I think it's called grave.....for gravely slow....hehe

Nice grow man +rep
thank you sir, may I have another.....hehe hopefully many many many ...blah, blah more..... same at ya bro


well I've had a bit of bad luck lately, inclusive of my hard drive biting the big one...took a couple of days to salvage what I could and had to reload everything from scratch including Vista.....did you know that cloning Vista is not supported by many programs due to security?....feck, feck, feck....everyone knows backups always work, it's the fecking restores that never do....:joint:

anyhow, today we'll post pictures of the girls just so we get back into the groove....oh yeah, kilobit hasn't visited the local market in over two months and his supplier called wondering what's going on....if only she knew that kb don't plan on seeing her again unless something drastic happens...she's cool and all, but feck, I counted it out and I've been spending close to 7 grand a year on my most favorite vice.....hmmmmmm, 36x7000=252,000....holy fecking shite......yeah, yeah it wasn't always this expensive, but after adjustments to the many many times we purchased our favorite herbal smoke more than once a week, etc....should have done this growing thing 32 years ago and could have a house completely paid off, let me say it again....holy fecking shite...so we have 3.5 jars of stuff which unless we start giving it away will last way past our next anticipated harvest and probably right into Allison's harvest, maybe even onto December, we'll see....:joint:

ok babies, as you can see all the girls look good...we got the fecking nutrient burn on Zahena2.0 as with all the PPP girls, albeit not that bad....tomorrow she will be starting week three flowering and her tata's are showing nice now....her roots look and smell delicious
next up Allison...tell me she isn't a different strain, she is WhiteRhino....man we could have done two of her in the cabinet's...probably will do two next time around with her clones....her main stalk is way fecking thick and roots are just as we like them....she will be going 12/12 when Zahena2.0 hits week five.....
finally, the original Zahena....well we really didn't think she would make it when we cloned Xtasy, but perseverance and loving care (awwwwwww) have given her back to us....so she'll follow Allison and that will gives us time with Allison's clones.....just like Allison and Zahena2.0 her sister, roots are doing just fine at this stage....:joint:

those that have been following awhile know that kilobit had originally intended to get a monthly cycle....well reality has set in and not because we can't do it, we just don't have the room to do it.....so we are looking at spurts of say three monthly harvests and then a lull of 2 months and then try for another 3 monthly's....we'll see.....:joint:

so until next time.....peace:weed:

to all my friends please forgive me for not visiting your great grows lately but I'll get back on track soon again, bear with me please....

this is actually the first non stressful moment in about two weeks.....thanks

EDIT: forgot to mention but ya'all probably noticed, I've taken down the majority of my reflective material in the cabs, more at a later date........the picture order got screwed too...of the two root pictures together the one on the left is Allison....

Hey, man.. awesome work. Did you build your t5ho setup or just order. I'm trying to figure out if I can just grab a t5 chassis, an HO ballast and 3K lights and flower away. I'd like to not buy online, trying to figure out if all these parts at home depot will do the trick or not..

Thanks.

thanks mammath....I am fecking determined to play guitar...one way or another...and I don't mean guitar hero....hehe...my friend the difference from my first day is astounding...practice practice practice, then more practice....retirement 9 years and counting, plenty of time you think?...hehe

well sure you can....but the home depot bulbs will not be strong enough..frankly I don't think they sell T5HO, the HO being of value....if you don't want to go online look for a hydroponic store in your area...they should have everything....good luck and let me know when your done so I can take a look....



not too much of an update...again very hectic with lots of bad luck peppered in there...oh well, shite happens and hopefully soon enough it will shift in the other direction..oh please, please...hehe...anyhooooo,
:joint:


we'll start with Allison this week...she's a real thin girl...hehe...man really alien looking isn't she?....I love looking at her....we put her 12/12 last night and she is officially three weeks behind Zahena2.0 harvesting...that is if the White Rhino flowers around two months...again first one so we'll find out soon enough....and as we like to show, her roots are excellent condition with a nice smell....:joint:

Zahena2.0 is into her fourth week and her tata's are starting to bulge out some...she also got that same old same old frosty goo we all love and cherish as did her sisters....five more weeks for her....around Sep 25.....boy oh boy....roots are excellent:joint:

then original Zahena is growing out the clone room so I really think we are going to have to work ahrd with this for the next five weeks....her roots are a little on the eh side but at this point we really don't give a shite....we could always use her to reclone the PPP.....:joint:

and the last pic is Allison's clone, Carrie....we'll see...

peace.....:joint:played:leaf:

Hey KB.

That Allison dame probably needed a top or fim at some stage which would have bushed her up a bit.
See how she turns out because there's always next time ;) She's the Rhino isn't she?
If her tata's are worth regenerating then you'll know what to do to make her yield with that clone.

As for the 6 string yes yes yes, practice. That's all there really is to anything.
You get good at shite the more you do it.
Also, there's no real retirement... there's always plenty to do :lol:

Thanks for the update mate.

Eh up!

My first post here, read your whole groblog (did i just invent a new word?) and its splendid, very helpful, lovingly written, well done!

Im thinking of getting a little set up like yours on the go, the PPP seems perfect for this type of grow, but could i ask what kind of hit you get? I havent smoked properly for many years (with good reason!) and im looking for a strain that gives a nice uppy active hit, not too overpowering and paralytic...! Any ideas?

Also, this bubbleponics thing is new to me...is there a pump putting water directly into the rockwool cubes and if so is this constant or is it set for like 10 mins x 3 per day? Seems to get mental roots, yours look like Gandalfs beard!!!

And good luck with the guitar, if you approach it with the same spirit as your growing you will be fine! Im 37 and have played for 30 years, what i would say is dont spend too much time learning stuff that has already been played...technical abillity is important but its only a means to an end...who will be remembered more, Kurt Cobain or Yngwie Malmsteem? Also remember, you cant play exactly like Jimmy Page, but guess what, he cant play exactly like you! He he!

Best wishes,

hehe...what's up mammath...yeah we'll see...although I've already cloned her and wait till you see this...

been working 11 hour days so no guitar all week:-( but maybe I need some time off...pretty much practice everyday for 7 months...

thank you so much jackyle and hope you come back for more....the seeds were obtained from Nirvana....as you'll see, advertised as feminized, and yep she is....

hehe...thanks shiva for the compliments and hope to see you more often...

PPP....this strain is excellent for what you are looking for.....clone to harvest 18 weeks...8 weeks for the flowering gets a nice uppity, no couch lock result....highly recommend it...also got lucky with one of the girls and hit 3.7oz dried and cured....T5HO CFL, not bad...
originally we used to pump the solution (water and nutrients) directly over the rockwool until the roots hit said solution....what this does is accelerate the vegetative stage....see beginning of journal again....now what we do is just clone in the rockwool and netpot, water rockwool twice a day and mist with nutrient enriched water (not too much) twice a day....this is because no hurry anymore as cycle has begun....by the time roots start expanding out of the netpot, it's time to move her into the container....also this eliminates another maintenance portion of the grow....once the roots hit the solution is when the real growth occurs....
we have combined both an aerator and pump in the container.....this provides the needed oxygenation for the plant not to drown and the water flow so that the solution is distributed and stagnation, algae and shite do not occur.....the setup works great in a limited area...

hehe...great advice on the guitar....hopefully, by end of year, I'll be much more comfortable....and I'll say it again, I've improved dramatically since I purchased it, with the time I have to spend....least I think so.....

alrighty then....my free time is almost up again...feck.....but wait, there is some free time coming Saturday thru Tuesday...WooHoo....college football rules Saturday though

eldest to youngest.....Zahena2.0 is doing well....she is the sister of her predecessors, with telltale signs of a nice frosty finish....fifth week flowering..

next up is Allison...you guys are right about the fim....now we know.... I still like the way she looks, but not what she'll put out in terms of yield....as you can see, she is flowering as should be in her second week..

original Zahena has recovered quite well wouldn't you say?....holy shite, not fecking bad at all.....I remember almost drowning her in the toilet she looked soooo bad....great recovery....could be a winner here folks....4 week vegetative

finally, Carrie, Allisons clone....doesn't appear to have taken fully yet, she does look healthy though....what I was inferring to mammath about earlier....we cloned Carrie PRIOR to Allison's going 12/12....if you look real close you'll see she has a flower on her....WTF? how in the heck did that occur?and why did I type heck instead of feck?....read were if you clone when a plant is flowering, it retains that flowering until it's put back to a vegetative light scheme....it just doesn't add up.....second week vegetative clone....at least we think...hehe

peace
