Stoneslacker's 250w micro, hempy, scrog - Blue Hash, Afghan Kush Special. Cheese

Took down both mainlines and around half of the PC tonight. Planned on taking
the whole PC down but she is a bear to trim. All 3 went 66 days and have ripened up
nicely. The density of all 3 is among my best ever, rock solid.

The Critical x SSH cross I made is overall larger than the original Critical. Other than
the size and smell, the 2 look nearly identical. I sampled some small nugs of both and
the SSH really comes through in the taste of the cross. The buzz is also heavily SSH,
heightened sense to sound and light, straight mindfuck almost no body.

Crit x SSH





Royal Queen Critical






As I said the PC was a pain to trim. I always seem to save the worst one for last.
She finished up very well, very stinky and extremely dense. I'll take the other half
down tomorrow hopefully, with the Crit scrog and OG coming down Monday or Tuesday.

Damn trimming is like work or something. Good night!

Mate, they came out incredible! They all look damn tasty and covered in frost! Top work as always man, great to have the scrog guru back in da house

LOL it *is* work. I do not really enjoy it, where I would expect to.

But the end result looks fantastic. I love the colors they take on
as they mature. I love your work.

Cheers Easty! This did turn out to be an excellent round for me, one of my best in a while. Tried
to keep things consistent this round without a lot of experimenting. Plus solid genetics helped
considerably. Can't wait to chop the rest and Fire Up!

I can remember the first plants I trimmed after getting my medical license, those fuckers
were expertly manicured! Now it's all I can do to snip around and cut the leaf tips.

I need to greatly expand my operation and then I can hire some hot college girls to
trim for me. Ah, the American Dream.

hey stones i have a number of questions for you man... would you mind taking some time to answer?

Thanks Stone... appreciate your help..
i'm posting here in case these information you give can help someone else like me...

Here are my questions
i've read in your journals you use tap water...but also supplement with cal mag, what ppm is your tap water? (want to make a comparison with mine)
also do you use cal-mag in every feeding or just when you notice deficiencis?
i've seen in your thread My 250w Hempy Scrog some sintoms similar to those my plants are showing...specifically,
-http://www.rollitup.org/t/stoneslackers-new-250w-micro-hempy-scrog-blueberry-blackjack-and-permafrost.630714/page-4 here you refer to necrosis and yellowing on the permafrost and later slighlty to the BB too...
do you remeber what was causing that? if so how did you solved that?
my babies showed some signs of necrosis like that... every info is here if you have time to take a look...

Thanks again.

I am not sure of my tap ppm, but a friend in a city not too far away measures around
90-120 ppm. I feed around 2-5mL GH CaliMagic with every feeding. I start low, increase
to the max around the end of veg and decrease gradually from there.

In the case of the leaf yellowing and dying off, I believe it was a mixture of my ph being slightly off,
and overfeeding. I was also not running a cal/mag supplement until around midway through that
particular grow. Normally with issues like that I will flush then feed 1/2 str nutes. I also flush periodically,
every 17-21 days throughout the grow to remove salt buildup.

My "goldilocks" zone for ph seems to be from 5.5-6.0, any higher than that in veg and early flower leads to issues with lockout and overall vigor. Raising ph slightly, to around 6.3 in mid-late to late flower
can be beneficial in easing uptake of P and K.

Thanks man for taking your time to answer me. really appreciate.

Alright! Everything is finally chopped.Very happy with how everything turned
our, except I am not seeing many seeds in the OG that I tried to feminize. Hoping
that when I break them apart I will at least get a few str8 OG seeds.


Critical was the largest overall volume plant. She ended up nice and fat, and very skunky.
She is not quite as tight as the previous Critical, but still overall pretty dense.





OG was a definite pain in the ass to trim. Loving this plant though, very dense and solid. Nice
fuel smell, almost no sweetness.





Everything is hanging and humidity is around 70%, so should get a fairly slow dry.
Four rows deep, OG in the back, Crit next, followed by PC then the mini-mainlines.

god damn bro, that is just impressive hey! Top looking buds and lots of them, the best way to be
Dude, how long do you usually veg for? I'm absolutely blown away every time I see your grows and amazed at your yields, crazy stuff!!

we, humans should absolutely develop a usb port in our brains... this way i can transfer StoneSlacker's knowledge into mine and grow meds like this...fucking impressing really.

Thanks bro! Veg depends on a few things. From seed usually around 40-50 days. From clone is much
quicker, 20-30 days. Sometimes I have a slow grower and extend the veg time a bit more. I just try to veg
the screens about 65-80% full and then just train the shit of them the first couple weeks of flower to keep them
as even as possible.

I really can't claim to be some grow savant, my system is really simple and easy to do.

I am an open book, ask away and I am more than happy to help explain anything.

you really are a great lad Stone, always willing to help, humble and well mannered.
i really like how you grow and have read your journals more than once to understand as much as i can , but i still have encountered some problems in my first grow...
if you wanna have a look @ this thread and give me some advice i'll be more than happy, like what would you do with these two girls...

http://rollitup.org/t/help-on-diagnosing-problem-in-first-ever-grow.871636/page-2#post-11618896

you may not consider yourself a grow savant but you are an example to follow for me...
thanks man.

Cheers for the reply bro, for the time you do veg, you get some seriously good buds!
If this feminizing works, my next run will be a 2 plant scrog, so keen to get back to it, these grows with more than 2 plants gets hard to manage!

Stone that was an amazing grow. Thanks for taking the time to share it. And I really like your underlying principal of finding the groove, and then following it to the end. Basically keeping it simple.

Another showcase grow SS. Wonderful results.

I look forward to reading of your enjoyment. :0)

Did the OGK get the full 70 days? I will stink more for a while. LOL

Enjoy Bro!

Thanks for the great compliments! The internet, and forum boards especially can be a shitty
place. People love to troll from anonymity, and I just don't have time to feed them. My Grandpa used
to always tell me, "Never argue with an idiot, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".
Wise man, rest his soul.

I have been so busy that I have not had a chance to swing by your grow mate. I'll look to remedy that sometime
today.

Looking forward to some Oz Scrog bro! It is nice to grow a couple big plants and cut down on the
overall work and headaches. Plus, just something about sculpting a scrog canopy feels very satisfying. Hope
you journal the next round or keep me posted at least.

Thanks alot Watt! I think that most successful growers find a way to simplify things and limit the biggest
variable (me) from the equation. The hardest part was just allowing the plant to tell me what it needs rather
that deciding what it should do. Much of this was picked up from our great World of Hempy thread, yourself being
a huge part of that. Thanks!

Thanks bro! She ended up going 69 days and about 10 hours, so close. I would have liked to give
her another week TBH, she could have used it. So the sacrifices of multiple strain grows. She is already
beyond stinky and is only partially dry. Love it.

My Kosher and Tangie clones are becoming trees my buddy said, so this necessitated pulling her now.

The next round will consist of a full feminizing grow. I will partially scrog them and limit veg time till clones
are ready to reverse.

Thanks Eatspam! Really am liking the PC, some very solid and stinky nugs. She's almost ready to jar, I'll get some pics
up in the next couple days.


As I said the next round will be dedicated soley to feminizing 2-3 strains. Kosher Kush, Tangie and probably Sour D.
I will start a new thread and look to document not only my grow process but also my Coloidal silver fem process. I'll
post a link here once things get rolling and I am ready to generate my silver solution.
