[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Looks like a very nice jungle. :hubba: How many ladies do you have?

[Melissa]

beautiful :peace:

[doctorvapor]

wow!looks great.

[trillions of atoms]

they look great but on an sog you dont want strech. that means the lower budsites arnt getting the intensity they could be getting if the light was closer to the canopy and less crowded- now saying there to crowded here but they might be shading each other. read the strech link in my sig on supercropping, that should really help densen' the canopy and yer buds.

[lyfr]

Looks like a very nice jungle. :hubba: How many ladies do you have? howdy TBG,thanx...i got 15,some experimental crossbreed clones from a friend. he gave up on them so i nursed em back.i try to max out at 18-24 in but when i flipped the lights at 6-8in they they grew 2ft in two weeks! i FIM'ed,tied some down,and pinched stalks(before and a couple times since flower)but they still went amazonian(?) on me.i sure hope there done strechin at this point but i'm scared to mess with em too much in flower...so i guess i'll just hold on for the ride!

[Timmyjg6]

Nice, well you better hold on tight....

[Timmyjg6]

Can we please get some moor info on your set up? Lights, hydro system, neuts, room? Thanks bro!

54346when i have good clones this is how i do my tray. GH3,hygrozyme,florolicious,koolbloom,root subculture,H2O2. 1000ppm till 2wk flower,1300 wk3,1600 wk4, 1800 wk 5&6, then back to a 1000ppm till flush time. if you run over 1200ppm be very careful how you mix it. IMO anything over 1200 ppm increases your risk for nute/res problems. thanks for lookn all! oh yeah, 400HPS,rockwool cubes on RW slabs, 3 floods@ 15 min ea...2hrs apart. hydro system is 24x42in tray, 20 gal rez,changed at 10 days.

[Timmyjg6]

Wow, thanks... Whats the big screen for?

[lyfr]

54360ive used it at the top to keep them from fallin over once too. this time i had less clones than i wanted so thought id try LST with it.

[Timmyjg6]

Thats what i was thinking.... You should get a more fine screen and try a ScrOG. Prob be cool to see a hydro ScrOG... Good luck my friend...

[smokybear]

Great stuff lyfr. Nice work on those little ladies. Going to be a good harvest for you, I'm sure. They look fantastic. Really took off so you are doing a good job. Keep up the great work and keep us posted. Take care and be safe.

[sweetnug]

Blowin up bro, keep up the great work!!!

[widowmaker]

Cool setup man, and nice plants. Keep it up!

[hachiroku]

wow, this is looking likes its off to a good start! Im mad i didnt get here earlier! whats the dimensions of that tray? how do you have that secured to the wall? Thats an interesting way to do it. Is that so that you could see it while standing up?

[lyfr]

[lyfr]

55018havent had to raise light in two days,sure hope the freaks are done. flushed today, gonna go head and bump nutes up near 1800 when i refil today. buds r startin to fill in. this is the part i like! thanks 4 lookn

[Timmyjg6]

Hay thats weird, thats the part i like too.

[lyfr]

just thought id mention that the canopy was about 2in above that wood frame at its tallest point when i hit 12/12 on 3-8. hows that for stretch...supercropped 3 times also! newbies take note,your plants will at least double or triple in size when you hit 12/12.

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Whats up mang. The ladies are looking good. :aok: I always hate the stretch because some of them ladies just don't know when to stop. :p Now it's time to watch the young ladies fill out into beautiful woman with big buds. :hubba: Here's some GREEN MOJO to help fatten them ladies up. ;)

[lyfr]

55254 heres one right before lite-on. burnt tips so flushed and backed off. this unknown strain sure keeps it interesting. the jungle continues...

[smokybear]

Looking good lyfr. Going to be some tasty buds here very soon. Keep the updates coming my friend. Take care and be safe.

[someguy]

do you have any algea problems with your res exposed like that?

[snuggles]

Nice jungle!!! Can I go on safari sometime?

[lyfr]

"do you have any algea problems with your res exposed like "that? that was a pic from a couple grows ago. iwasflooding out rock wool getting it ready and that batch got thrown right out. i do always keep it covered during grows. good lookin out! thanks for stoppin

[snuggles]

My res is not covered and I'm fine. lots of flow/movement and air bubbles....Not what I would recommend though, I'm just lazy LOL.

[brushybill]

great pics lyfr, and thanks for the link, your set up is very similar to the method i am planning, one question - with your 3 floods, do you water them with the lights on and let them rest in dark time?

[allgrownup]

i hav never tried but i saw a grow room the other day at a friends and he had some product in brown bottle? to stop them from growing vertically. his plants were very short but he uses different system from me so ????

also, make sure you get enuf air circulation around/through the plants or you risk bug infestation. de ja vu


also you should cover that resivior and might i add i am very happy with hygrozyme in res.

keep it green

[lyfr]

"do you have any algea problems with your res exposed like "that? that was a pic from a couple grows ago. iwasflooding out rock wool getting it ready and that batch got thrown right out. i do always keep it covered during grows. good lookin out! thanks for stoppini love hygrozyme! got one fan blowin between light, got another blowin at base of stems, got another exhaust fan with a can on it...thanks for the heads up! Updatin pics in a minute

55556 i think their doin their thing. i hope the sailin is smooth from here on out! thanks for lookin/helpin

[Zepplin]

Hi Lyfr,

Nice looking grow. Buds are starting to look nice and frosty. I know what you mean about strech. I flipped mine when they were about 2ft and had a couple which added another 3 feet to the height. I've been having to use my wrench set to bend and weigh down the tops of the plants to keep them from hitting the lites.

Zepplin:)

[lyfr]

wrench set...thats great zepplin,whatever works right? thanks for the good report,and for stoppin by...come back real soon now ya'hear

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trillions of atoms]

nice waxy leaves and ridges, i can tell you have been keeping that hps low... niice ;)

the more lumens the denser the nuggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hachiroku]

haha sorry for the question a couple pages back. i guess i totallymissed the picture that had the saw horses in it! how many plants do you have in that 2x4 tray? do you feel that that may have been too many or is it working out?

[lyfr]

this time maybe too many (15)for the strain...which i am clueless of. ive done as many as 24 grandaddy purp clones with no problem. i just flower at about 4-6 inches tall and get 12-18 inch colas that start at rockwool. i think next time im gonna try 18 of some kind of pure indo...they seem to do best.

[smokybear]

Ladies look great my friend. Nice work. They are going to be some dense nugs. Keep us posted. Take care and be safe.

58400 ok folks, heres the dilly. benn runnin 1000ppm since my plants advised me to do so(gotta pay attention to da girls!). And they thanked me with fresh new whitehaired, clear triched calyxes, shootin out of the 6wk, already maturing buds:eek: . 1st pic-new bud growing out of cloudy triched bud. 2nd pic-reg 58day bud 3rd pic-closer shot of new growth on pic one 4th pic-overview of freak buds 50% and reg buds...all clones same strain i now have named "freakin purple". so ladies, gentleman, and others, i guess the thing to do is wait till original growth trichs are fully amber and hopefully by then the freakbud trichs will be cloudy...suggestions, my head hurts after that...ill be back:stoned: :bong2:

[lyfr]

gee, i just remembered i did a FIM style toppin on a few of the higher tops right before flower and they split into like4-6 branches/tops. could this have permantly altered growth pattern and caused buds to split towards end of flower as i caused top to split toward end of veg? i got the iso oil to help me come up with that one! goes to show that guessin and hopin are my two main grow stratagies. at least MP eliminated most of the guessin!

[smokybear]

Lol. The ladies look great. Going to be some sticky-icky buds. Nice work. Keep us posted my friend. Take care and be safe.

[littlenode]

looks very nice, lyfr...me no speaky hydro so well, being a dirt bagger, but I can appreciate nice looking buds...well done

Smoke on...

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

The jungle is looking great. :aok: Looks like it's gonna be a nice harvest when the ladies come down. :hubba: Great job mang. ;)

[Killertea08]

Hell yeah man nice grow op thats the way to do it. I should try hydro one day I think.

[lyfr]

update; started final flush on 5-6. I still put a teaspoon of florolicious+, and about 3-4 teaspoons kool bloom, and 50 ml hygrozyme for a woppin 140ppm's(80-100ppm's is from tap). I know the rule but i just cant bring myself to starve them completely. I also changed lite schedule to 10-on, 14-off to help the ladies know summers almost over.:hubba: in a few days i'll change it to 8-on, 16-off then down to 6-on 18-off for the last couple days before 24hrs of dark...then its playtime. most of this grow ive been thinkin i cant wait to grow a known strain again...but now im already missin these ladies.

[godspeedsuckah]

Wow wow wow beautiful!!!

[HippyInEngland]

Wow lyfr
That frankenbud looks huge, how long is it?
Great grow, well done.

[lyfr]

i think its about 8in from top to first visible stem. i thought it was almost done then it started shootin calyxes out of the top and sides of the cola. under all those white hairs and cloudy trichs are 80-90% orange hairs and amber/cloudy trichs...trip. i should be choppin soon and ill try to get better pics up(with size reference) tonight. thanks for the kind words.

[Tater]

hah that mylar in the background makes for a trippy picture man. Nice buds I hope mine turn out that dank.

[hachiroku]

Amazing. WHERE ARE THE PICS?! Did you chop it? dude, im stoked to see what you pull in with this harvest! you gotta weight it for us, wet and dry!!!

[smokybear]

Ladies are looking mighty tasty. Great work. I can't wait to see some harvest pics. Keep us posted my friend. Take care and be safe.

Nice! I really like what you've done with the place. Make sure you smoke a fat one with the decorator. ;)

[smokybear]

Beautiful harvest my friend. Congratulations! Going to be some very fine bud. Definitely be waiting on a final weigh-in and a smoke report here in the near future. Keep us posted. Great work! Take care and be safe.

[hachiroku]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Hahahaha thats awesome. Thanks dude for keeping us posted! Wow. Im really at a loss for words.. IM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU! Lol, i only hope mine will turn out as good as that. looks like you pulled out a pretty respectable yield too? Im excited to see that! And the smoke report! You sneak a bowl yet?! hahaha

[lyfr]

Lol, i only hope mine will turn out as good as that. looks like you pulled out a pretty respectable yield too? Im excited to see that! And the smoke report! You sneak a bowl yet?! hahaha thankshachiroku...my best yeild in this tray was my last grow, almost 8oz. sneak a bowl?... i cut of one of the lower branches that was in my way;) last week, fired one up this mornin but all i can say is "it worked"...full smoke report after first week of cure+1week hangin. thanks to all whachin, its been a blast. ill also give weight at this time.

[Cali*Style]

AWESOME....... Nice job.:hubba:

[lyfr]

final yield...just over 9 oz not counting undesirables(trim,lower air buds,fans go to compost). now...where did i put my iso-kit:hubba: oh, that was dry,cure started

[Ilikebigbuds]

wow! so nice to see!

congrats are in order!!!

[banjobuzz]

nice run man, how much did franken-bud weigh?

[ms_1]

Can't wait for the full smoke report. Of course, that won't help me because it's an unknown strain. Good job!

Man, it almost make me want to start doing hydro.

[smokybear]

A very nice harvest my friend. Now to just make all the leaf into hash and this one will be complete. Congratulations on the grow. Fantastic work and a fantastic reward. Nice work my friend. Take care and be safe.

[lyfr]

nice run man, how much did franken-bud weigh? i just cut the top of it off(about 6in) and it was 7.2, this stuff is a lot lighter than the last grow...7oz last grow in 12 jars, 9oz this time in 20 jars plus a 1gal canister.

[lyfr]

well, smokes very nice...easy on the lungs. tastes like skunky fruit, nice flavor. i guess i would give it about a 9...problem is i aint goin for 9's know what i mean? next show starts soon...18 grape apes. hopin they will deliver the knockout punch i so enjoy. i have to say this is very good daytime smoke as you can still get lots done...i'd rather be locked on the couch:hubba:
