New Grow room

[ZigZag]

Someday I'm going to have to try cloning....but I only have one room to work with....maybe I could start with a few autos on a 20/24 schedule then about 4 weeks later start a few photoperiod plants and try to time it so the autos would be ready to harvest about the same time the photoperiods were switched to 12/12? Thanks for any input, cheers!

[oldjarhead100]

my cloning station/seedling is upstairs in back room have a 2x2 table with a 2 foot 4 bulb t5 a tray with a dome and I'm set

[oldjarhead100]

had a tooth ache most of the day yesterday but was able to water and spray folier essence for folier friday

[alltatup]

Sorry to hear that, OJH.

I tried to do a before and after on the foilier essence but screwed up the order so 3 and 4 pictures should be 1 and 2 , anyways they love that foilier essence there little leaves all pointing up to the lights just happy campers.

Bloom room entered its 9th week yesterday so just water from now on, just hoping they fill out a little more but I'm starting to think that I stressed them to much when I had to leave them in there for so long . IDK it they haven't bulked up by next Sat I may take them so I can move veg girls over It depends on the clones I took I will need some room for them when they get planted ,there are only 4 autos left in the auto room ,I still have auto seeds but I think I will start them for the outside Garden no more inside

[oldjarhead100]

ATU your always welcome any time you want to take a vacation you can come up

[Campesino]

Well, when you select multiple pics to upload, it rearranges the order - which certainly doesn't help!
Is a particular challenge when the pics all look similar (before and after) because the thumbnails are so small. I try to keep my time-lapses in order when I load different speeds (they all look identical), so I am somewhat traumatized and can certainly sympathize.

Yes, OJH grows boatloads of cannabis! and the plants always look happy about it!

[alltatup]

Thanks, OJH: I miss you guys... ;-}

[ZigZag]

OJH_no wonder you got a few of those pics mixed up_ you've got plants in at least three stages_looks like that anyway! I have a hard enough time just trying to get 3-4 strains to be ready for harvest within two weeks of each other_for now thats challenge enough for me. My hats off to you man.How would you compare the Zombie to the Skunk_looks like you started them about the same time?

[oldjarhead100]

I started them a few days apart both seem to be fast growers , those seedlings are for the outdoor grow , I was trying to do a perpetual grow but timing got screwed up . Im doing a scrog with all of the tutankhamon except 7 those are going outside so they can get 10 feet tall

[oldjarhead100]

well I felt so bad about how the pineapple chunks lower section was looking I moved her into the bloom room, these are two Northern Lights Autos ,theirs a few amber on one but the other is still clear and cloudy but if it fills out shes all done there are still 4 autos in auto room the air injector plants are in the auto room as well , I am being very impatient I so want to get the tutankhamon into bloom I've never done a scrog before so it should be fun

[D.A.A.S.69]

Nice big fat colas Ojh, looking great, my friend. Good Luck with you harvest.

[ZigZag]

Yeah, nice buds going there! I'm getting to the impatient stage too, just took one of the CDB OG down yesterday and am looking at less than 2 weeks to go with the others. Being constrained to indoors, I can hardly imagine a plant 10' tall_the colas must get huge!

[oldjarhead100]

Not much to say today everything is good I checked the bloom room this morning and was surprised to find all the buds filled out some so were getting close

[oldjarhead100]

so yesterday was worm cast tea tuesday ,except for bloom they just got water quick easy day in grow room so I did a different project I built my scrog net , also my order from seedsman came in finally something I can use daily lol my youngest grand daughter is going to love it

[Campesino]

So far, I have actually gotten things I can use!
A car Chamois and "holiday socks". They seem more age appropriate than the things I see most others getting!

[RosettaStoned]

Attitude sent me fruity smelling tea lights

[Dutchman1]

I got a bra once, fit my daughter, heh heh heh.

[oldjarhead100]

My dad had a full day yesterday so as his ride so did I lol I manged to water the bloom room with just water and hydrogaurd before I left ,then when I got home at 545 I watered the seedling man are they getting big, I left the veg and auto rooms until today , then I sprayed some sad looking clones when I got upstairs

Heres a question how often do people use a tea to add to watering regime I try and give them worm cast tea on Tuesdays and terp tea on Thursdays they are only telling me they love it right now

[Paracelsus]

This is from MOFO NTG Guru and owner of Mountain Organics. I follow the first protocol but alternate between MBP malted barley powder, sprout, compost, Neem , fulvic acid, worm compost,citrus, mint family for IPM as required on a weekly basis. Lots of experience and science in this info.
From MOFO
“Here’s an example of a tried and true watering schedule (because I personally used it for years) to use from day 1 to ensure your plants are being pushed to ‘peak health’ and expressing their full ‘genetic potential.’:

Day 1 Plain water
Day 2 No watering
Day 3 MBP top-dress watered in with Aloe/Fulvic/Silica (agsil or your silica source of choice)
Day 4 No watering
Day 5 Plain water
Day 6 Neem/Kelp tea
Day 7 No watering
Day 8 Plain water
Day 9 No watering
Day 10 Coconut Water
Day 11 No watering

REPEAT - Beginning to end, no changes needed for various stages of growth, simple enough right?

Now for al the reasons previously stated your soil is becoming richer and richer as the water and nutrient retaining ability of your soil improves over time. By the 3rd cycle the plants may already be showing signs that you could back off on the above watering schedule and that can be done any number of ways to best suit your situation. For example, use half the amount of neem/kelp tea and coconut water. Add a couple extra days of plain water in between 'feedings', and so on.

As an observant gardener you should be able to notice plants performing equally as well even though you are using less inputs and in the same way you can tell if perhaps you backed off too much from time to time - in this way you can find the "sweet spot" for your garden and when that clicks with you it is very easy from then on to know what your soil needs.

Here's an example of a watering schedule a couple or few years into established no-till gardens (it happens to be my current routine as well):

- Plain water every other day, beginning to end
- MBP top-dress every 10-12 days watered with aloe/fulvic/silica
- Kelp & neem top-dress at the beginning of the cycle, maybe once more in early flowering.

Yea, that's it! No teas are ever made. The days of needing a soluble 'quick fix' are long gone. The soil is extremely rich and the mulch and top-dress' we do apply are not for that moment but for the weeks and months to come - make sense?

I alternate and do once a week on worm castings, with other nutes at same time. Then just water for other watering or water and molasses and white sugar if there well into flower.

[oldjarhead100]

thanks guys good info I didn't get to start the tea on Wednesday but did yesterday so it will be tea and folier essence today at some point helping my friend harvest his tutankhamon

[oldjarhead100]

so yesterday afternoon I finally made it to water after watering and spraying for afids thanks again Happy frog ,I was able to harvest this Northern Light , 28 minutes start to finish thats including set up and clean up, the pictures are in order the 5th picture is the net I put 100 grams in to weigh in 3 days ,the last 4 pictures are the last 4 autos in my room ,if all the others had grown like this I would still be growing them lol . The 7th picture is of 3 girls who spint the night in dark 1 northern light and 2 gorilla bombs

[oldjarhead100]

harvested with my friend his daughter and another guy from 7 am till 12;30 when I had to run out ,picked up and dropped off my wife then watered my stuff and harvested 3 of my own girls the gorilla bomb will end up around 3.8 ounces dry and the norther light 194 wet or 1.7 ounces dry I have to look at bloom room to see if any are ready for dark this is the beginning of week 10 yikes

the 2nd picture is of 1 tutankhamon the first four plants took from 7 am till 945 this one took from 945 till 1230 when I left

[Paracelsus]

That is too cute, adding your stick doll to my photo collection

[Dutchman1]

Love stick witchdoctor OJH !!!

[Tika]

I want one too...Good Hedgewitch.

[Tika]

Night light in my studio bathroom from a few grows ago.🙃

[oldjarhead100]

Sadly its my friends he keeps some of his trunks very talinted guy

[oldjarhead100]

I found some amber on 3 bloom plants so I'm going to have to go get the rest of my net so I have room to dry it yababy one long ass grow almost in the books

[Paracelsus]

I’d like to read that book

[oldjarhead100]

I put 2 Auto aliens in the dark last night I tried the branch that broke off , I smoked a half j and went and took a nap then smoked the other half and wanted to go back for another nap lol so I think I found my before bed smoke lol , that couch lock is for about an hour then it mellows into a fantastic high

I also looked at bloom girls and they are close I will be harvesting them this week I believe

[ZigZag]

oldjarhead_ so how long do you put them in the dark for? I'm going to take two plants down next week and hang them in the dark for probably 5-7 days...but two of the others look like they might need another 5-7 days....I've never tried the "3 days in the dark before harvest technique" before. How much do they grow or mature during those three days? what would happen if you left them in the dark for 5 days? I could water the heck to of them before i leave or set up a drip system to feed them while I'm gone...

[oldjarhead100]

girls are doing ok I think I heat stressed them by leaving light to close they will recover there are a bunch of seedlings that want to be cloned and I have roots coming threw root riots , I also have roots coming though the cloth bags so I think they will work great

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks Tika always a good day farming above 60 lol we actually got up in the 70s and today its the 80s ,we went from winter to summer apparently spring took a vacation this year lol

[Paracelsus]

You’re right about that winter to summer old jar head. I’m going to have to move my plants away from the windows real soon with three fans running at 81 degrees all day long. And it’s only going to get hotter. Soon I guess I’ll be ready run the air conditioner that is sitting an inch away rom Kinky

[Inuart88]

You must be from the north east I’m from down east Maine no not really just like saying down east in a state that is most north but ethierway l. Last 3 days have been gorgeous 70s I was sweating hard my daughter got in the pond it was a nice time. But weird to go from snow and 40s Monday to 70s and nice as summer the next lol never understood our weather system up here
