Its about time i start the thread for the year. I have finally got a cycle going. I had a harvest a couple weeks ago and am putting 14 more in by the weekend. Also have 2 more cycles in veg, 1 batch will go in in 3 weeks or so and then another a couple weeks after that another batch will go in if there is room and i got some in the cloner that will hopefully be big enough to go to flower by the beginning of August so it will be done before everyone has there outdoor crops done. These ones were defoliated today and yesterday. These were defoliated only a week and 2 days ago and it dosnt even look like it. They will be defoliated again starting tomorrow and i will try to get them done in 2 days and they will go into flower on friday, then they will get defoliated again 3 weeks into flower.
That there look like a lot of work, but satisfying work. Very well done my friend. I used to be a greenhouse manager where we grew airplants and always dreamed of using those houses for a grow area. Turns out my boss had the same idea before my time there. He had a close call and shut that down in a hurry. Still...greenhouses are a thing of beauty when you can control the environment. Forgive my ignorance as I am not familiar with your setup...when you speak of putting them to flower, can I assume you have a way to black out certain sections while leaving other areas open to the light?
Thanks guys, hopefully i will get pictures up every week. Got a little less then half of the ones im about to flower defoliated today. I should be able to finnish up tomorrow since today wasnt a full day. It was buy fertalizer day, i hate it. 1400 so far and i i will have to buy more aditives in a few weeks. Yes Herb i have the center bay on a blackout system and the east bay is veg. The west bay is not even used right now because of plant count limmit.
If you wanted to load it up, how many would fit? I hate plant count limits. Florida's not even grow legal but as long as it's not 21+ plants, your not in a huge amount of trouble, It use to be 99 plants about 12 years ago, some fucktard senator tompson had it changed. Boy did my grow space shrink that year.
My limmit is 12 per patient and i have 5 patients. I could fit about 45 in each bay with the size they are now or if i did giants like i did the first year it would only fit 12 per bay. Ideal would be to put 200 per bay on rolling benches but in order to apply for the licence to do that many i have to cancel my caregiver cards and send the government a ton of money and then they will just let my application sit there because they cant seem to get there own law going. All the meanwhile i would be sittling here with my thumb up my ass getting nowhere.
I very much dislike government BS and like having my thumb up my ass even less. Gotta do whatcha gotta do sometimes to make it work. Nice setup man. A buddy and I would love to do such a thing together here....maybe in another life.
Well they were supose to be in flower on friday but i had some timers wrong and the curtain was trying to open and close at the same time so they just stayed open. I figured that out sat so sunday was day one of flower. They were defoliated thursday and friday so 3,4 days ago from the pics today, unbelievable how fast they look like it wasnt even done. They all got a calmag and recharge feeding as they got flipped and some got there first bloom feeding yesterday. For some reason all of them have a curl to the leaves today. My guess is its because the advanced nutrients calmag has 4% nitrogen and it got a bit to much. I will be switching to blumagic calmag wich has no N i believe. The last two pics are both gorilla glue. One that got the bloom yesterday and one that didnt. They all had the calmag within a couple days of the flip. Gorilla glue that got bloom yesterday And gorilla glue that didnt get bloom yesterday.
Tomorrow will be the next pictures. They already have enough leaf to dry out there 25 gal pot in one day and it was not an overly hot day either. Also i figured out that the leaf curl was due to the fact that i added b52 to the nutrients and i am not supposed to for the first 2 weeks. The wierd thing is is that i fed some vegging plants and the next day they had the curl, they got the b52 also but they are suppose to. I think i also used the blumagic king terp on the bloom ones that curled but quit using it for the blooming plants after that. I also used it on the vegging ones that curled. So I either have a bad bottle of b52, king terp or they were just telling me to give them a break on nutes next time. Just like the bloom ones that curled the veg ones were 90% uncurled by the next day.
One week into flower, everything is looking good. These are next to go into flower, the plan is in 2 weeks. These i i pl on flowering in a month This is a new one i just picked up yesterday, Fire OG.
They have been really blowing up the last few days, i think the one in the second pic of the last post has grown 8 to 10 in since i posted. Those plants in the first two pics will be the two i will always do the single plant shots of so the progress is easy to see. One is gorilla glue and the other is lsd. Those two strains are the only two in this group.
sorry for the late update, the pictures are the right time though. These are 2 weeks Gorilla glue LSD I started defoliating 2 weeks and a few days so i would have them all done by 3 weeks in. i think these pics were a day or two after i defoliated cause the leaves are bigger in the pics then what i left on them. that and the pictures dont do it justice, they are much more bear then they look in the pics
here they are at three weeks, i dont think the bud size is hurt at all and the inner buds are way bigger gorilla glue LSD
