Here is my reply
Morning OJH
I avoid letting my Coco /perlite dry out. Plants get droopy and it takes2gals per 5 gal smart pot of feed/water to get at least a 10% run off. When my plants are mature I feed every other day. Usually 1.5 gallery pot...Some require a little more or a little less.. I never feed just water. I believe drain to waste good for the plant in that it also flushes out salts in the Coco. My Coco /perlite mix - 1 part perlite to 3 parts Coco works well to drain. I like Vigoro brand As it is medium size perlite as well as Premium Cyco Coco ( having done many brands of Coco including bricks). I think my mix provides enough question, drain, etc.
When plants are younger I may go every 4th day. Basically I can tell by just lifting up the pot.also all get fed at the same time. No special cases.
As you know I use the GH Flora Trio, CaliMajic, Terpinator (following the GWE/Nebula chart. Add Liquid Kool Bloom when in flower. Never add any worm or bat castings nor teas. Just plain and simple😊

[oldjarhead100]

Thank you so much Tika I do mostly the same thing but its super nice to hear you keep it moist that really took alot of my thoughts

[ZigZag]

Tika/OJH, Same here. I think my coco mix is a little more porous than what your using but my watering schedule is very similar. In my current grow I'm now using about a gallon every 2-3 days per plant_ they are about 3 weeks from harvest.The air injectors in the bottom probably dry the medium from the bottom up faster too. It is more hassle because I have to water and feed them more often. The injectors do seem to increase development during veg and early flowering but I'm not sure they ad much during flowering. I usually water/feed them for about three days. let them rest a day and then water again with plain water to flush out excess salts.
OJH_I love the way you assign different "names" to different days of the week!

[oldjarhead100]

Well yesterday was tea Tuesday but I didn't have the tea ready so I switched yesterday and today so all the plants got Water with 10 ml hydrogaurd and in stead of a half scoop I give them a whole scoop to get some run off , and they will get worm casting and stump tea today
My new light came in and I set it up and shipped the other one back damn 80 bucks for shipping so I called growers house and told them I wanted a replacement instead of credit no problem they said .

One of the autos Amnishia had some amber in it so I moved to dark for a couple of days , 3 more autos will be ready in a few days that will be the last of the cold weather autos the new ones are much bigger . So lesson learned dont grow autos in your cellar in the winter in New England lol

[oldjarhead100]

the first picture is a mother plant that I need to clone but shes 6 feet tall and I cant raise the light any more maybe in a couple of days , the 2nd and 3 rd are the veg room

[Campesino]

I love your veg room. Looks lush and pleasant 😊

[Paracelsus]

Bbbb Beautiful

[Dutchman1]

Yes Beautiful veg room OJH.

[oldjarhead100]

The pine apple chunk was in the light again yesterday few more days until I can clone her , the last bunch of seeds is in root riots and as soon as they are in dirt I will clone the pine apple chunk and the Tutankhamen .

Yesterday was Calmag Thursday so no grow or bloom nutes just cali magic and hydrogaurd ,and g 10 in bloom and deep breath in veg , today is folier Friday in veg tent I dont want to spray in bloom room .

I put 3 more amnesia plants in the dark so I can chop them ,this means I can transplant the last two tuts into air injector pots the others have really taken off will take pictures today

[GreenhouseEffect]

Your plants are looking awesome OJH, I'm actually kinda jellous to!
How do you like the Pineapple for a smoke? Been wanting to try out a Pineapple strain for a while.
I have never been a foliar person, till I tried the compost tea on the leaves of my Vedge plants, think it changed my mind a bit!

[Paracelsus]

Sounds like the name of a record

“Amnesia in the Dark”

[GreenhouseEffect]

HaHa! Sounds kinda like me trying to remember things!!

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks guys I have a bunch of pictures but I think I left phone in cellar last night .

I harvested the Amnesia yesterday and was rewarded with 695 grams wet that will work out to be a little over 6 zips dry I think its my best harvest with Autos

This is the start of week 8 ,I thinks its going to be 1 or 2 more IDK will see what they look like next sat.

[Paracelsus]

6 zips and a few sips will do you better off in Times of no $ you know what I mean wake and bake

[oldjarhead100]

I left my phone down cellar yesterday when I came upstairs got down cellar to it ringing at 6 % My Dad was calling from the home .Man I dont think I will go that way I'd much prefer to take a long walk on a cold night and talk to my buddy Jack until I fall asleep .

the first picture is of the biggest Amnesia ,second is of twins , I saved that stem and split it to make a pipe stem from it. Third and fourth pictures are of bud spinner in like that and out like that . I did 4 plants in about an hour and a half . last 2 pictures are buds before the spinner ,I love that thing saves hours and hours

[oldjarhead100]

Campesino yes best $200 I've spent in awhile the amount of time it saves is amazing

[Locrian99]

Which one did you get ojh. I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting one. Reviews on amazon seem kind of all over the place on the ones I’ve looked at.

[oldjarhead100]

they are all pretty much the same I would make sure it has steal ball bearings and gears any thing not metal will break,

[oldjarhead100]

I have started to give the bloom plants just water hydro guard and molasses until they are done no other nutes ,the next bloom group is ready to go in but I decided I'm finishing up whats in there now before I move them new ones over so no 3 week jump on it

[oldjarhead100]

RosettaStoned that looks like good soil and better yet I will get it at cost my wife works at an agway so we get stuff 4 percent above cost , I wont let her retire because of the discount lol she only works 4 hours a day for 3 days a week

Ok so yesterday I started the worm cast tea for today and gave all the plants molasses for Mola Monday . and watered all the girls . I also was able to get the black zombies in dirt so I can start cloning today

I also have to pull out veg plants and see where they are at not sure what I am going to do I have 9 tutankhamons ready for bloom but one of the next grow the ones I put the air injector in is as big as the plants in veg room ready to go into bloom . I think I might have to combine all of the tuts ready for bloom and just do the one grow .I'm going to have to scrog the grow cause of the size of the plants but we will prevail lol

[RosettaStoned]

If you get some, let me know how it works for you

[oldjarhead100]

Off topic this is my Buddy a wild rescue and a pot thief she is sitting on 6 eggs at the moment she is in her first week of sitting after she stopped laying one more week and she should be bored or crazy enough for me to take them and she wont just lay more , so she comes out two or three times a day and eats like a pig she went though these nuts in about 3 minutes and back on eggs , I feel bad for her ,but getting her to not lay eggs has been impossible , Our other bird hottie hasn't layed any eggs except the first year she did and after that nothing

[Paracelsus]

Why I do believe that is your leg in the picture, my eyes are going. I thought the second picture was of a glitter bag for sorting out resin. LOL I saw a morning dove in our community garden yesterday evening, I guess the poor thing can’t tell the time. Maybe it smelled the worm so I just put into the compost pile.

[alltatup]

OJH, it's a good thing that she lays eggs. That means she's healthy and IN LOVE!!! For real: I learned that years ago with a parrot.

[oldjarhead100]

ok so I took most of the veg plants out and looked at then what I think is going to happen is these 5 and 2 more from auto room are going to be the main grow and then I'm going to put all the smaller ones to the side put them all under a scrog and see the last picture is the pine apple chunk plant after I took 24 clones still need to clean it up a little

[oldjarhead100]

these plants are super bushy I have defoliated them 3 times already do you all think I should leave them until week 3 of bloom to defoliate then or one more time before they go into bloom?

[Paracelsus]

With little to no practical experience I will offer my opinion, it never hurts to wait a day or two, but in this instant I’ve heard the third week traditionally is the time for a haircut because the plants hormones will have settled into the new routine of 12/12 light periods

[Tika]

Great lookin plants! I love the bushy ones😊 indeed...A little house keeping us in order LOL🤗🤗🤗

[ZigZag]

Bushy is great for producing heavy harvests. And if the plants are smaller, say 24" or less then from my experience they will continue to grow lots of interior leaves even as they flower and if you don't keep up with the trimming/defoliation then they can get pretty tight and hard to get your hands in to snip any leaves that need it. I'm dealing with that with two of the plants I have going now. I've set a small fan below each of them to help prevent moisture from collecting on leaves that might be laying on top of each other and it seems to help.These two plants are very short_only about 20" and have basically stopped growing vertically so the challenge now is keeping them open enough to get some air and light into the interior.
I usually go with the recommendation to defoliate well a week before the switch and then 3 weeks after. But I might take individual leaves at any time if they are covering growth tips or laying on top of each other. This has been mostly the case with those strains that are primarily indica based. I have some Sativa dominant strains during the present grow that needed to get "leveled" so I tried some super cropping for the first time on the fastest growing colas and it didn't seem to slow anything down at all. Recovery was very fast and i'll do that again when necessary. I'm probably going to incorporate it into future grows as well as to help keep an even canopy which can be a real challenge when you have multiple strains grown from seed in the same room. I wish I had the ability to have different grow and flower rooms but for now I just need to work with the one. Cheers to an awesome harvest!

[oldjarhead100]

well guess what I did all afternoon yesterday I tried to get them as before and after pictures not sure if its in right order but here they are also I was able to get all the air injection plants in Auto room,I had to take 2 autos out and stick them with the seedlings over night they are almost done , I had to move the PC mother out of the tent and hung a light above her in the open because shes four feet tall lol

[Paracelsus]

Here I am gushing over my 1 odd ball beauty and you have a house full of them. Great before and afters. I have never been that good at LST, I got the fat fingers. That’s why I have loved Super Cropping. It works very well for me but I almost died the first time I snapped a branch. A little masking tape and it is as green as the day she was born.

[oldjarhead100]

I did notice them growing a little faster I had one catch up to the ones waiting to go into bloom

[ZigZag]

That's interesting, it seems I'm getting similar results. After the last grow where the only small plant I got didn't have one I bought two more lines and another pump.
This time I'm running 5 of them. But, heck, I still have two small plants so that might have just as easily been genetics. I'm sticking with them though. I'm using 8 foot supply lines so I can move them around easily_well sorta anyway. Cheers to growing!

[Tika]

Large or small one or more...all worth gushing over..each and every one

[oldjarhead100]

yup I agree they all give something back

[ZigZag]

And sometimes the little one seem too mature faster...been my experience anyway. lol.

[oldjarhead100]

so I cleaned up the pineapple chunk yesterday got a bunch more clones , I had taken more tut clones just ran out of steam so I had sprayed them put them under a dome and left them overnight well they made it so I put them in root riots yesterday 2
