"Grow #2: Bubba Kush, GDP, Romulan, Super Grape Ape & Purple Kush

[2Dog]

u r very welcome my friend! learn from my mistakes lol...

 

[Raidernation]

yeah i made my share of mistakes too mostly just laziness but the pk will pick up with your skills its just a lil sensitive goodluck chuck!

 

[chuckdee123]

word, i'll keep the pk's sensitivity in mind. i kind of regret getting 5 different strains, because now i have to take all of their specific needs into consideration instead of treating them all the same..

 

[2Dog]

pk is my fav strain that I have...you will love her!

 

[chuckdee123]

hahaha 2dog your PK's biggest fan foreal... on all the other PK grow journals that i looked at had you in there talkin bout your love for the PK ... yes yes gots to love it!:48:

anyways i'm posting because i was on some other grow journal, where dude has a real small area that he was vegging in, and people were responding like 'you're gonna need a bigger space for flowering" etc...

in my first grow i used the same area, but i only had two plants so there was PLENTY of room. it hadn't even occurred to me....

what do you guys think, will i have room? i wasn't planning on moving them till it's time for the chop.

as long as you can control the height you should be fine.

 

[chuckdee123]

thanks for the reply lama.
although i'm not quite sure what you mean by "control the height"...?

Hi chuck...

Killer genetics you've got going there.... soon they will be ready to POP! :hubba: I'll be along for this ride...

Happy Growing!

 

[chuckdee123]

hey DOS! thanks for checking out my grow and the good wishes, planning switching to 12/12 on the 17th of this month... hopefully they will be ready to pop!

 

[lordhighlama]

morning chuck and happy new year!

LST = low stress training
supercrop = pinching the stem of plant to slow vertical growth.
topping = cutting the top section of plant 2 produce multiple top shoots and slow vertical growth
fimming = basically same thing as topping, but with a much smaller cut from the plant.
scrog = to late for this imo, uses a screen to train the plant. Similar to lst.

here is the link to this stickies on these topics. Take some time to read through these...

hope this helps... plants looking good by the way!

lama imo its never too late to scrog. ime 12" plants are perfect size to start. i would supercrop 3" down from top so youd have 9" under ur screen to be able to get in there & work. plus @ this height they should be showing sex if theyre from seed.

 

[chuckdee123]

Lama & Doc - thanks for the input. let the reading begin!

 

[chuckdee123]

the GDP seems to be growing some new leaves that look much healthier... i'm considering trimming all the nasty old yellow/brown leaves off, but there is a good amount of those leaves, so i wanted to see what you guys' thoughts were first...thanks

 

[lordhighlama]

trimming those yellow and burnt leaves might make the plant look a little better ascetically, but believe it or not they are still being used by the plant. Until they are ready to fall off by themselves don't get rid of them. Your plant is still using them.

 

[docfishwrinkle]

yup let her sluff them off naturally.

 

[chuckdee123]

thanks, i knew i'd be glad i asked first.

quick update...into week 5 for the BK, GDP and romulan now, and just about into week 4 for the PK and SGA.

still on 18/6 cycles, raising the nutes a little, the BK/SGA/romulan seem to thrive on nutes, but i'm gonna chill on the GDP and PK, they turn yellow and show nute burn easily. pics soon to come.

thinking about topping soon, they're coming along though, too late?
take care!

 

[Raidernation]

hey chuck
i tested both of these and the pk comes out pretty solid but the bubba is the bomb smoke that everyone should have. you should trim the fan leaves up top even if they dont get light the lowest parts are still frosty but could be bigger.you ever looked at the word "could" it looks stupid.
