Joes grows grow journal ....

[Jan Borrego]

Four sugar belts popped the two blue moonshine and blue indica also popped what size pots should I do first I ddor photo grow I want them to fill my tent four of them

I don't use a tent but from what I see people use a 3 or 5 gal pots for 4 in a tent

 

[Jan Borrego]

some really nice looking nugs there bro... glad your excited about my gear... Look for the plant that shows sex the latest, she is the one you want to hit with pollen... which we'll get some to ya ok... need more produced if possible.
Glad you got yourself some ladies to play with... try flipping your lights to 12/12 for 2wks, then back to 18/6.. this is my thinking... every auto has a photo period lying dormant within and by running it on 12/12 for a bit helps this reaction of stretching still take place at times...

Gabagoo Beast Mode... started in a 1gal plastic pot, (orchid pot), and then, only into a 2gal felt pot... I'm now back to using 3gal felt pots and running just 4 at a time vs 6..

This has about 2 weeks left?

You will learn something from every grow. what works what doesn’t. They will get bigger and better each time too. Nice pics and grows going on

I thought I was following this thread. It's really cool to see you succeed in growing Joe. Your crops will become better n better as ya go. This is the kinda stuff I like to see on forums. New growers makin it happen. Beautiful garden.

Yea there's so much to learn but like I here a lot I have to figure out what thrives in my position so far I like these photos def a diff ballpark I can get them the size I want. Once I get my fabric pots I got three and five I'm going to do some tying down topping and defoliating there gonna be so awesome to watch grow gonna stick with promix hp worm castings perlite and michorizea. I have no clue what to add for a flower fert maybe something epsoma

 

[Hippie420]

Yep, there's always another way to grow. It's nice when you've got enough plants and room to try different methods to see which one works the best for ya.

You said it perfect Joe.... you truly have to learn what setup, strain or hybrid etc works in the environment you've created.. because this is usually the one growing aspect that is either impossible to change or way to costly to so why... why not just search, learn and experiment until you find your way...
I grew photo periods for 12yrs before I tried Autos, it was after a 4yr break... funny, my first plants were runts, but I didn't give up as I loved the seed to weed in 60 days.. It was Sour60.

LST done correctly can almost double your yield. I SCROG grew for a few years in a walk in closet where the grow area was at waist level, space was 5ftw x 4fth.... no height at all. I made a screen using chicken wire, grew 2 AK47 under the wiring, tying it all over until it was 75% full, flip to 12/12 and feed budsites up thru the holes... OMG bro. ever seen a 2ft deep, 5ft long Sea of Buds almost a foot long. You remove all growth below screen and fire fans in this 14" space between screen and pot.

2 plants would haul in 1/2lb.

Looking at you today Ida never guessed you were a scrog man. If you can find time in your busy schedule perhaps you can check out my thread. I have a 4x4 scrog going and planning a larger one this fall. To me nothing produces like a scrog. You get maximum control of the plant, excellent light penetration where it counts, and a mini forest of bud..lol. No doubt I'll pull some grams outta this grow.

Heard ya mention you were down to miracle grow. I've grown in that before with no problem. With perilite added it does a good job. Most growers talk crap about mg but hey we grow with what we can afford. Sometimes that's even dirt from the back yard..lol

A few years ago I had no nutrients for my greenhouse grow. I was pretty broke after gathering everything. I used horse crap and a little of my urine and made a slurry. I used this all through most of the veg until my nutes arrived. Ya make do with what ya can.

[Joseph Fontaine]

About time to flip too flower some of @Carty sugar belts x nana glue the big one rhats extremely hungry thats one then two red velvet x gmo using micro grow bloom and calmag extra from advanced nutes perfect pH I put a 1.1.1 ration so far ph wad about 5.9 after idk idthats ok but there growing great and gaini g color bak started half a week ago there hunger is fading flipping to 12 n 12 tonight there in promix hp little castings extra perlite and michoriza on the roots when transplanted.

[Joseph Fontaine]

This was all accomplished with pinching the stem and bendig at first then after I transplanted I tied the branches back with fishing string and my kids finally got a puppy process four months old maltise

You are in for a treat.. my buddie Ottafish created these and he spends big $$ on his strains and grows them out a few times before deciding what to cross... Sugar Belts was his main breeder for sure.
The mix of these 2 high $ strains has proven to be epic so be patient, the reward is going to be epic.

And thanks for showing these off, he's been asking me for any photos of people growing his gear. and yours look amazing so keep it up bro.

glad to see Spider Farmer finally put their dimmer switch added to the outside of the ballast. On my SF-1000 I have to remove the ballast to access a rubber plug on the inside to get to the adjustment screw.. after once I never messed with it again....

I can't wait I just hope I can make it through what ten weeks of flower about? Def awesome plants too grow and I didn't have to do much to make it a decent canopy . Doing autos indoors first actually is a great lesson on lst ECT because jumping to photos from autos was a little easier or a lot lol not on a time frame but next round autos are gonna def be next... The spider farmer is bright I have it about seventy now but I'm not going to lie the king 2000 plus was not and is not a bad light for the price.

First two plants are redvelvet x GMO second two are sugar belts x nanaglue day ten of 12 n 12 when can I defoliate and clean bottoms ? Was thinking day 21 please lmk anyone they are all using advanced nutrients plus calmag extra and in promix perlite and castings mycos also

 

[Joseph Fontaine]

I'm thinking after day 21 a really good defoliation and lower cleanup mostly to the lower part other wise I'm just gonna run it as is I do have one problem we're one day I have too put all my plants and tent outside for the day so I'm gonna do it the night before put them in there at normal seven o'clock but during light in the morning I stead of getting bright as sun I think it will fuk them up I'm just gonna open the vents and all airways let them get little light that one day bring them in about five the next day hopefully they'll be ok.

 

[Jan Borrego]

I was thinking of doing the sugar belts or nana glue with round 2 on the summer grow
