Tahoe OG in Dual Monster Plant System (Scrog Edition)

Hi LJ
Now that I figured out how to do it, I am 'scribed!
This journal is the best therapy with so much eye/brain candy.
My organic outdoor grow harvest was so-so with too much worm damage. I should have put the worms in tequila or something and retained all of that goodness. Got 2 mason jars.
I am going to try the dry ice method on the leftovers.

The smoke is very up and goes away after about an hour. This is from the early bud i removed 3 weeks ago.
The smell is very grapey with a slight plastic undertone. I can't wait till it is cured.
I have another branch of buds from 2 weeks ago that I dried and it has been curing in my cedar cigar box (which had some old Thai in it - haha) and I will give it a try tonight.

Cheers,
Mo

Oh boy. Smoke report. I wouldn't mind a few photos, either.

Edit:
Hey, Thanks of course. It really make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when someone says they enjoy my journals.

You don't say? Please post your grow photos here if you can. Thank you!

Attention hydro growers! Do NOT use organics! My ph was dropping like a bomb on Hiroshima for the past couple of days and I was all, "What the Fuck?" Then it occurred to me to check that stupid sponge pre-filter on my sprayer pump. Sure enough, caked with thick brown tea sludge. Good thing my plants are indestructible.

See that weird lone burn spot on the leaf overlapping the pvc bar to the right of the photo? I think I may have gotten a drop of ph adjust liquid on there. Oops. Never, ever adjust ph while high. Oh, who the hell am I kidding?

And here we have the direct from above shots. It's filling in, isn't it?

It may not appear that all that much has changed since yesterday, but believe me it has. Rather than seeing plants grow straight up conspicuously, the scrog is all about the horizontal filling of gaps. I'll let the tops on the outer edges gain a bit more height and fold them all under again. The process is intriguing... and the plants are cooperating big time. It's almost as if they want to be scrogged.

P2 is doing her share.


So is Stephy.


Veg it.


The strong side getting well covered.

I knew I made the right call in getting the screen with extra wide squares.

Nothing like a little James Tiberius humor.

Plants looking good as always jin, sucks about the tea gunk. Why can't next spring just come already! This is the first year that if possible, I would fast forward through the winter holidays lol. At least I'll have lots of time to prepare for it. I need to move out and grow some indo lol

Oh yea! almost forgot, pics . I realize now while looking for pictures to post I need to take new pictures! lol oh well, here are a few of my favorites of my one and only grow.

Beautiful. Thanks for contributing. You're officially one of Jin's Journal Pervs. Congratulations. How does it feel?

Edit:
Oh, I just applied another three key tucks. There is so much strategy involved! It's really awesome. I highly recommend scrogging to everyone.

Okay, now that I've really had a chance to use AN, I think I can give an updated comparison report.

The Ph with AN is actually shiftier as it turns out. But the level of control with the AN up/down solution is greater than with the GH up/down solution, so let's call the ph part a draw.

In overall vigor I have to give the slight edge to GH, but this comes with a major attachment. Though the level of vigor is not as hyperactive, the quality of growth is superior with AN Sensi. And most importantly, AN is far more concentrated, so the plants need far less actual nutrient mixture with the AN compared to the GH. There are gripes about price, but if you're using an active hydro system, AN Sensi is a good value because you use way less than you would with GH. And remember, I paid less for the AN Sensi grow than the GH because I got it on special.

And lets not forget how much cleaner AN Sensi runs overall. It's just cleaner period. When you're not constantly wiping up brown shit, it's just plain cleaner. The entire grow area has an even cleaner, more clinical feel to it than ever before because of the nute change.

So take from this what you want. I'm keeping it as impartial as I can and calling it just like I see it.

From my experience so far, AN has the edge. But the all important bloom phase is yet to come. Stay tuned, Kiddies.

I have not had a chance to try either one of them. AN has too many bottles spread out for my liking. I am sure they grow great as well as GH. I personally use Dyna-Gro and I have had amazing results. I should be doing an Fox Farm vs Dyna-Gro sometime soon.

man this thread has it all. schooling me on DWC. pretty ladies, pretty nugs. cute kittiez dat haz all da cheezeburgers

i was looking for the ph burn spot for ages. your on top of your game if your noticing tiny spots like that. attention to detail is king eh.

Yes, sir. The devil is in the details. And I'm glad you're enjoying my thread. What's cool is that I can't take all the credit anymore since I have all these great contributions from so many cool RIU posters.

Hear, hear. AN does have a confusing array of bottles. They need to work on that. Looks like greedy marketing. And who are they kidding? Experienced growers know you don't really need all that shit.

Thanks for commenting, Indica. I'm leaning towards dyna for my next test.

Every time I hear "the devil is in the details" I get flashbacks to old shroom trips.. Does this happen to anybody else? Like words/phrases that just trigger flashbacks?

Do I even exist? Are there really people out there listening?

Dig the end. "Yes!"
And dig The Moog Cookbook Remix... Dance, baby, dance! It's actually better to mute the sound on the original video and watch it to the Moog Remix sound below.

While you're filling in your screen with tops as the 2 plants spread out, I imagine that the middle colas will grow taller before you fill in the edges, right? Do you think that means that the middle colas will end up being a lot bigger than the ones at the edges? Or maybe that head start won't make much difference in the end? I don't see a problem with it, just wondering what you think will happen. I think you're going to get a lot of colas either way.

Love those pictures. They're filling in super now. (Love the Stephie pic too!)

You'd be surprised how evenly they grow once cage contact is made. I don't foresee anything getting signficantly taller than anything else, including the tops clustered in the middle. If any of the peeking branches gains to much height, it's back down under for that branch. If the ones in the middle do get taller, back down they will go. The plants just continue to spread across the screen from inside out this way.

Wow... it's awesome that you really like Air. More people need to know about them! Some other chill electronic music that I looove:

Something about lounge-y, relaxing music... I could be smoking, eating, watching TV, having sex, driving--anything. Gotta love it.

I'm chillin' to the Thievery corp right now as I pretend to work at the office. I haven't listened to them in a while. Thanks. The first one won't allow embedded play. Sux.

I missed everything you said except the sex part. Sex, sex, sex! That's all I think about! Lol.

Aww... that's definitely the best one out of the three. And it has lots of hourglass-figure, tanned babes that I knew you would enjoy lol!

Have fun at work man. I'm just taking advantage of being in college and dreading the daily grind... >_>
