Start to Finish SOG Purple Kush Do It Yourself Hydro grow

looking good man, thats gonna be one hefty sog! +rep

thanks guys....

I gave them another light feeding today 1/4 strength FF Grow Big, and full strength Thrive Alive B1 (this was my last thrive alive feeding during veg). They are all branching from the lower nodes, .

I will give them a 1/2 strength FFGB feeding on Friday with 2 tblspns per gallon of FF Big Bloom, followed by full strength FF GB, Full Strength FF BB on Monday, which will end their veg. nutrient feedings.

They are on a 16/8 light cycle right now, will switch to 14/10 over the weekend.

They will start their flower cycle next Wednesday when I will preform a full flush (using big bins, lol, you'll see...) and clean the table again.

They will start receiving bloom nutes on Thursday of next week, so I will call that day 1 of flower. I will update with the flowering feeding schedule and pics sometime in the next few days.

Nice. So ur lighting shcedule, I take it u workin ur way down to 12/12? Is there any benefit to that? Seems it would be more natual that way, I've always just flipped it straight over though. One time i tried the ole '36hrs-of darkness' thing. Can't really say what that did, if anything since i didn't have other of the same plants to do separately going straight to 12/12.

doesn't make any difference at all to MOST strains. I like to harvest about a 1/2 hr after the lights come on.......

Hmm... first time i've heard that. So, is it superstition or what's it do?

for a lot of heavy indica strains, it will cause the resin glands to turn amber before it normally would.

its documented..... can't remember where though. Same thing with cold temps, they will turn buds/stems purple.

Well Im glad to see you've made it here, ..... I just added 3 more plants to the room:

1 Sensi Star in All organic soil mix I made (5 gal. pot)

2 Purple Kush in FF BB EJ LS soil mix (5 gal. pot)

Im going to add 5 more plants in 5 gal pots and another shelf tomorrow, . Still on the fence about adding more plants to the table....... they are going to brush and mesh a little as it is...... I will hold off on that and see..... and after I put up the 8 4 ft fluorescent tube lights I am also thinking about filling the walkways up with easily removable supports and more plants so total plant number in there could be 50-60?

Have to try it oot. Love me some couch-lock

Looks good...Glad your wife's impatience did not bite you!

some people say that introducing a black light during this time will also increase last minute production...... I think that is a superstition, I have never tried it and don't plan too

yeah....... I have been trying to get the info into her head...... but it seems to not want to stay there....... maybe cuz we are always smoking and I kind of ramble off about how this or that is important etc. lol..... she is so wonderful to put up with me

Quite the nute soup you are giving them. I am enjoying watching the progression of your grow. My B-52 SOG is progressing nicely, they are now vegging under my 2x4 t-5, can't wait til they are ready to provide clones! I need to update my journal, been very busy lately and haevn't hasd the time....I wanted to ask about your cloneing process. Do you do anythng special nute-wise or watering prior to cutting from your moms? I noticed you only trim leaves after (24 hrs or more) your cut and put into RW cubes. Once they are set in RW, do you only mist thm or do you dip the RW in a nute solution?

Fucking gypsies? LOL... checkin that out now

I believe everything I did regarding the cloning process is in my outdoor thread..... I don't dip the rockwool in any solution after the cuttings are taken though. I use Thrive Alive B1 all through out early veg. and I use FF Big Bloom after I stop using Thrive Alive B1. Have to check out the Blue Moon......... ....... I use very light Thrive Alive solution to soak RW cubes before cuttings are placed in them, and usually water in the tray once a tiny bit while they are rooting, misting as humidity requires, keeping some airways open for fresh air. Fresh moist air makes for happy happy clones, that and not too much light, but elongated light cycles 18/6 or more....

and I thought I would update with some pics. The clones in the table are loving the hearty "soup" Im feeding them . I am trying different things with my camera to see what works best in the room. I am going to add those 4 foot fluorescent lights really soon I promise, .
There is now....... 18 plants in 5 gal. pots and 25 plants in 1 gal pots,
