Very impressive. I have tons of room here so I wouldn't grow this style myself.

But I have to say, it's pretty freakin cool what you're accomplishing. I love it.

Thanks for the props man! I appreciate it.. She really has been a joy to grow. I've given her the right environment and she just seems to love it! So far, there are 11 main bud sites and a few in the undergrowth that will probably amount to nothing in the end.. LOL.. She still has 60 to 90 days before she's done but I think she'll be worth the wait. I'm shooting for 1oz dried with this one.. Hopefully with the SCROG, I'll hit that

That seems reasonable. I wish you luck.

Thanks man...I will be starting another grow here in the next couple of days when i free up my 6500k bulbs and start vegging 4 snow ryders to prepare for the LED I should be getting in the next month or so. Funds are tight so the LED purchase keeps getting pushed back. Snow Ryders are done in 70 days so that'll be fun

these are regular snow ryders tho so they won't all be female.. They don't yield much but we'll see how 2 or 3 do w/ scrog under LED.. That will be a new experience as I've only grown feminized.

I watered her again today. 6.5ph'd distilled water. She was very thirsty...

pcn3rd · Sep 12, 2011

She's still growing steadily.. More weaving and leaf tucking done. Every budsite is now in it's own square in the screen.

Main Cola

pcn3rd · Sep 13, 2011

The main cola is really starting to put on some weight... More weaving.. more leaf tucking done. Overall, growth is great

Tomorrow I put some more red light in there..

BatMaN SKuNK · Sep 13, 2011

Looks great, Shes came along way in the past 10 days. Looks healthy and happy.

this is most beautiful grow journal i have ever seen. it's intresting to folow and very nice to have dates and days on these amaizing pictures. very nice. i can see how you love your cali!

what is the height left for a plant to grow? i mean height of you cabinet exluding height of pot ant lighting system?

Thanks man.. appreciate it..

From soil to lights is 12" total... from top of the cola she has 3.5" before it touches the lights.. I can get the lights up enough to free up another inch... so she will have 4.5" to grow.. from what I've seen in other journals with Cali haze, she pretty much will stop stretching in the 4th week of life or when trichomes start to appear and then she will begin to focus on her buds... I think im in real good shape.. my lights have been close enough to her to keep her from stretching much at all and in my case that's a a good thing.. she is going to remain close to the lights so she will continue to stay short.. hopefully.. lol

She will get her first nutes next watering which will probably be tomorrow. 1/4 strength to start

growth seems to be slowing a bit...

pcn3rd · Sep 14, 2011

Well here we are at 30 days from seed..

A little leaf tucking done.. No weaving as she only grew a very little amount, hence why I think she needs nutes

I put in 3 red spectrum lights instead of keeping a white light in there.

great job. where did you get the autoflowers if you don't mind me asking? I just finished setting up my cab, having doubts about my bag seed. Can't believe you are getting these results after such a short amount of time.

Thanks.. I got the seeds online from one of the major distributors.. i forget which one i used.. she looks ike shes maturing quickly but i still have a good 60 days minimum ahead of me as this is a sativa dominant strain. Tomorrow i will be starting 4 snow ryders which are indica dominant and are finished in 70 days from seed!

Well, i did some trimming of the undergrowth today so everything under the screen was picked off... as i looked her over i could see what i think are very early signs of a possible hermie situation... i picked off a few balls...

ill keep you all updated...

pcn3rd · Sep 15, 2011

False alarm on the hermie situation... lol

pcn3rd · Sep 15, 2011

Ok so she woke up and grew a little more..

she got her first taste of nutes in her water today. I started with the 5th weekfeeding schedule from fox farms and have used 1/4 of the recommended dose for both tiger bloom and big bloom and solution was phd back to 6.5ish.. She took 1/2 a gallon of water...

She will get plain phd water next watering and then the following watering i will up nutes to 1/2 strength...

nice on False alarm and that you have beautiful girl growing

i saw your picture with rheostat setup and this is great idea to control fan speed independently. but it's not obvious from the picture how you connected them? do both fans use same porwer source? i have 2 fans of 0.15amp 12v they have 3 pin connectors black/red/yellow wires and i want to connect to one power 12v 0.5amp power source. i'm not sure how to do that. i found info how to connect rheostat to 4 pined fans, they are using yellow wire. from your setup i see only 2 wires and you use red one. please help on this one. thank you

Thanks

Maybe this little schematic i drew up for you will help.. Make sure you use at least a 3 watt rheostat otherwise it'll get too hot when at slower speeds.. a 45ohm, 3 watt rheostat is just fine for 1 fan, maybe 2 fans.. to be safe and keep heat down, i decided to use 1 rheostat per fan.. you can find rheostats with higher watts but not at our local Radio Shack..

Wow you're fast!!! It simply imposible to make something wrong with that sheme in front of you it's a nice feeling to knowloo somebody cares about you and is helping you. I have 2 12mm 56cfs 12v 0.15amp 24db fans and my grow space is prety much like yours. Just a litle bit biger. So I think I can lower rpm a lot and make fans even less audible. I'll tryto find 45ohm rheostat it would lower current to 0,26 and that should be enought. Thank you once again! I will follow this grow till the smoke report I'm intrested in this strain. Good luck

Lol.. i was high so it was no'problem.. i dont mind sharing any of my knowledge and i will continue to do so... with 120 mm fans, you can definitely get those rpms down and make them super quiet but still push enough cfms.. at radioshack they have a good thermaltake 120mm for 20 bux that pushed 75 cfms'at 2700rpm amd something like 32db.. im going to get a few for my grow dresser..

Yesterday everything seemed clear to me but now I'm confused. As far as I know (and relaltively I know nothing on that subject) rheostats lower current by encreasing resistance and that should lower rpm of a fan. 45ohm Rheostat will lower current to max 0.26 if using 12v power source and my fan needs only 0.15amps. So is the 45ohm rheostat enogth in my situation? I think not or I'm missing a point here...

hmm.. Well, if your Fan is 12 Volts and pulls 0.15 amps, then the rheostat I've told you to use would get you down to about 7.5 Volts as this is only a 45 OHM rheostat and you would need more resistance to get it lower. You probably won't need lower but if you do, you'll need at least a 200ohm Rheostat to get it in the lower voltages. Lower than 5 Volts it seems that the fans don't usually spin up.

Here is an update on the plant.. She has some kind of deficiency or maybe light burn.. some of her leaves got rust colored spots on them.. Where the spots had formed didn't get any larger nor did it spread throughout the leaves it affected.. The spots just got a little more crisp as time went on.. I decided to cut off the affected parts of the leaves.. There weren't that many spots and no new spots have shown up for the past 2 days.. It may have been a result of all the trimming I did under the screen a couple of days ago.. IDK. posted in the plant problems section of the forum but no responses

Anyways. She is still growin and had growth spurt last night.. Everything just got taller.. Including the Main cola that I weaved AND tied down yesterday and it was half the size of a bic lighter.. now today, its the height of a bic lighter again! can't believe it.. Her stem got fucking thick too! LOL.. i sorta squeezed the stem and then i smelled my finger!! DAMN!! DANKEST Shit I ever smelled.. LOL well maybe not the dankest but damn close! LOL

She is still spot free as of right now and is looking great! she looks super healthy and very perky..

I see some beginning signs of Trichome production on most of the leaves

She should start getting frosty soon
