MrGreen's OG Kush Photo Grow #3

[MrGreen23]

Greetings everyone,

So this is Grow #3...OG Kush Photo. I planted her 2 weeks ago and already I've had to cut off 2 huge fans! I also forgot to change my bulb to the 400W MHS before I started, but she seems to really enjoy the 400W HPS...so, I'll leave it for now. I got her bent and tied up nicely...we'll see how she responds in a couple of days. I fed her today with GH Flora Trio plus CaliMagic and KoolBloom, Phed to 6.0. Temp is around 75 and humidity is at 50%. I like what I see so far. I also planted 2 more seeds today. I don't expect much from them, though. My last batch of seeds have been under-performing to say the least. I'll hpe for the best though.

Sure looks good so far MR,Green , Keep up the good work. Nice tie down.

[MrGreen23]

Thanks D! The tie-down was actually inspired by Green75.

[D.A.A.S.69]

It's kinda wild to watch the way all the branches on the bottom grow straight up to the sun when tied down I live down South USA and that's how we always did them outdoors mainly to keep them from being seen ,sometimes they would be 4or5 feet tall or even taller before we would bend them over and stake them down. We would come back a couple of days later and all the branches would be growing straight up.,kinda funny looking but they made some awesome bud later. Good Luck 23

[MrGreen23]

That's awesome man! I looked this morning and the top is already up looking around being nosy...had to adjust the tie and make her lay back down lol! I like the way she's growing so far.

[MrGreen23]

Hey family,

So it's Day 31 and...look at her showin off! I haven't trimmed her since my last post. At this point, she's telling me to let her do her thing for a while, so I'll listen...for now lol! I think I'll let her grow for a couple more weeks before I change the light schedule. O and did I mention that she's been under the HPS this whole time? (I forgot to change it) She is also on a 20/4 schedule. Hey, she seems to like it, so I'll leave her alone and let her enjoy. See you guys in a few.

you know alltatup you could be right on that I've always used hps in bloom and t5 in veg , I thought you could use either but that they did better if used in bloom or veg

[MrGreen23]

Great comments guys! I would think that , since MH are intended for the grow phase, that they would not be as effective in bloom; in contrast, HPS are meant for flowering and plants grow more in the flower phase, so HPS would benefit grow and bloom. Just my 2 cents. (Keep in mind I'm a rookie lol)

[DrPhoton]

MH are beneficial in the vegetative stage due to the available blue light that triggers importent morphological functions. Without it the plant will presume it does not have enough or is hidden from light and will stretch.
HPS are more efficient both electrically and biologically, allowing for a higher quantum yeild and yeild per watt. You can get extra blue HPS bulbs which are likely better than using MH as it provides just enough blue while providing more efficient light spectrums.

OK so we're at Day 30. She is just growing like crazy. The first 2 pics were taken yesterday...the last one was taken today. I had to tie her up and clip her just a tad...she was way too bushy in the middle. I think I got her spread out pretty good though.

[alltatup]

I have yet to try a manifold, but yours looks excellent.

[MrGreen23]

Thanks buddy! Look below.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Look in good 23

[oldjarhead100]

looking good mrgreen alltatup you should I'm impressed with the autos everything that is growing up is a cola some 2 feet long cant wait to try it on Photos

[MrGreen23]

Thanks everyone for the input...always appreciated! Now, yall saw how I had her tied up 4 days ago right? Well, here she is today! Needless to say, she didn't take very kindly to being imprisoned lol! Depending on her growth, I may start flowering next week. That should be quite interesting! Stay tuned...

[alltatup]

MrGreen, I would say that SHE LOVED IT!!! ;-}

[MrGreen23]

I guess you could say that also lol!

[MrGreen23]

Screw the nonsense...flowering has begun! She is just growing like crazy and she's quite bushy. Changed the light schedule today.

[MrGreen23]

So we are 5 days into flowering and she just continues to stretch nicely! The first pic was taken 4 days ago. Since then, she has filled out more and the 2 main branches were head & shoulders above the canopy. i tied them both down. I watered her yesterday. I'm giving her a gallon every 3 days. I clipped a couple of the giant fans and some bottom stems. As usual, things are progressing nicely. I'm just hoping for some dense buds. Any tips to achieve this would be greatly appreciated! See you guys in a few.

[alltatup]

Along with everything else you give her, give her your grower's passion and reverance!!

[furrysparkle]

Nice grow!

[MrGreen23]

Thanks furry...trying my best!

[D.A.A.S.69]

Good job 23 , Now all the fun begins. Good Luck.

[MrGreen23]

Yea...I'm just hoping for some dense buds!

[D.A.A.S.69]

Good Luck 23 , I also hope you harvest some fine ,dense bud. I know you will, just continue to take excellent care of her.

[MrGreen23]

Sorry for the delay in updates. We are at Day 19 of flowering and I love the way she grows! Flowers are starting to form. I have tied up the branches pretty good, but she has 3 main branches that have tops coming off their sides. I'm going to water her today. The first 2 pics were taken 4 days ago...the second 2 were taken today, so you can see the growth. It looks like she has about 15 distinct tops...nice! See you guys soon.

[MrGreen23]

We're at Day 24 of flowering and here she is. The flowers are forming down the stems and filling in nicely. I did a little trimming and feed her yesterday. Not much else to report at this point.

[St.buds]

Thos stands u made for the pots to be on are fuckn kick ass! what kinda wire did u use for tht?

[MrGreen23]

I used pvc pipe and weed wacker wire. I made em high enough for the tray to slide right under.

[St.buds]

Awesome idea
