Shop grow

[oldjarhead100]

very nice chefbjy, I'm going to have to try a good soil grow inside at one point

[Chefbjy]

Thanks ojh. I'm enjoying this grow more because I don't have to mix a bunch of nutes. Whata pain. No ec/ppm monitoring or checking ph, also a pain. Hopefully I got enough in my new mix to carry photos to harvest 😉.

I'm going to expirement with coco when I free up a grow area. Probably on a single plant and going to use Vegamatrix for feed. I want to try that stuff out.

[Chefbjy]

More pics for those that enjoy mj pics as much as I do 😆. Wanted to show how well the gg#4s are doing. There's one with only 3 mains idk if you can tell, it's growing crazy good and keeping up with the one that wasn't topped. Have to keep some branches tied down because when they're in the shop the gg#4s are shading out the Skywalkers. Will be transplanting the not auto gg#4 autos in a few days.

Cannabis plants always look so damn good outside!!! Beautiful!

[Canuck147]

Nice pics - have a couple a bit ahead of yours - I'm sharpening my ax

[Chefbjy]

Thank you. I'm not going to be done with the ggs till October probably 😉.

[oldjarhead100]

Thats how I feel with the tuts dam what a long grow lol

[Chefbjy]

So would I have tip burn just on flowering plants? Would the veg plants show tip burn? I'm thinking it's more of a k thing then tip burn? Wouldn't there be signs of an excess in the other plants? I know each strain is different and since they're auto/photo this might be indication of over fertilized soil. I topped dressed with fish bone meal a couple weeks ago maybe it was a reaction with the sensitivity of autos? Not sure if it's early signs of k def or tip burn...so I'm going to top dress with langbeinite. I figured since they're flowering they'll need the boost at one point or another.

Going to look into either brewing or buying some teas for the gg#4s and dhgc. I'd like to keep recycling my soil so feeding beneficial microbes will only aid the process. Looking into inoculation and other organics for future grows. Really loving organics but I still would like to get my feet wet with hydro and coco 😉. Just thought I'd throw a couple questions out there and see if anyone wants to shoot the 💩. Lol thanks for stopping by ia.

[oldjarhead100]

if you ever grow in coco follow Campesinos guide what a difference it made with me

[Chefbjy]

Transplant day 1 gg#4s. Buds stacking on the Skywalkers.

[alltatup]

I like the old rusty wheelbarrow, and the Skywalker buds are stunning!

[Chefbjy]

Thank you alltatup found the wheel barrel where someone dumped all their trash on the side of the road 5 years ago. Picked up the trash with the wheel barrel and had it ever since 😉.

[Chefbjy]

Can't get enough pics 😆.

Decided to take 6 clones 3 from each gg#4. One I took 3 from side branching on the mains closer to the base and the other I took 3 from tops of lowest main branches. These girls are getting ridiculous I had to give them their own 1000 watt mh. It was a compromise, the pot height and the vigor are too much to stand in with these autos. I'm going to need a wagon Tika 😉. They're super heavy in the 15 gallon pots and are going to be even heavier before the Skywalkers are done. Ain't no way I'm going to be lugging trees around and in and out lol.

I still have a bluecheese seed and another Skywalker... I know the skywalker is an auto but is the bc? I'm going to have to see so I'm going to germinate them both now. Getting more roots organics to compost my own soil mix so I can use a little bit of what I have now and still have some for dhgc. Not too fond of growing autos and photos together makes for a long ride 😆.

Skywalkers have pleasing aesthetics they smell so good too almost like fruity pebbles. Going strong with 30 some days to finish. Going to do a kelp tea and molasses next couple waterings to try and plump these babies up. Here's those pics!! ✌.

[alltatup]

Wow, 55 at night!! May I ask what region are you in?

[Chefbjy]

alltatup I'm in the pac nw. Just an hour from Seattle... and an hour from Portland.

[alltatup]

Chefbjy Suh weeeeeet!

[Chefbjy]

recycling tires going to make some tea cups 😝.

[oldjarhead100]

what a great drainage stand lol they are looking great

[GreenState]

I like the lawn chairs set up for viewing!

[Chefbjy]

Lol I move the chairs in front of the pots to provide some shade to the root zone. But my wife's friends come and admire them from those seats too 😉.

[Chefbjy]

Major lst sesh 😉.

[oldjarhead100]

yup I would say so thats some bending right there lol

[Chefbjy]

They barely fit under the light now 😆.

[Chefbjy]

Watering every other day seems like. Maybe I should of added vermiculite to try to retain more moisture but they seem to be doing well. Added molasses to my kelp tea. Going to do a worm casting tea for the gg #4s soon. Little over 3weeks to go. Going to have some phat colas 😉

[Cannabliss]

So nice and green and pretty and yummy. Nice work Chefbjy.

[oldjarhead100]

Looking fantastic congrats on pic of the week

[Chefbjy]

Thank you 😃.

[Chefbjy]

My suspicion of k def instead of tip burn is leaning heavily with the color of the tips yellowing on the Skywalkers. Granted they have 3 weeks to finish and they may fade but the dark green is prominant and the tips have a fade going on not like tip burn. I'll try and get some pics up later.

So I've done plain water with only top dressing a couple tbls. Of fish bone meal and langbeinite once. Watered with kelp tea and molasses 2 waterings ago. Since I'm in the final weeks I'm going to mix the langbeinite into next watering. This is a great source of k mag and sulfur https://youtu.be/-N50o39AU8w
I'll give another plain water before giving them molasses again 😉. Been raining past couple days so they've been locked in the shop under lights.

Gg#4 clones are still trying to root...there might be too many leaves on them to take well but going to give them a few more days under domes. The mothers are having some yellowing going on where leaves are shaded doesn't look like a deficiency. Some leaves showing bug damage were stripped but they are about to get a major defol and sad I don't have time or resources to take more clones. Plus I can't go over my leagal limit. Thinking of leaving them outside since days are getting shorter and just moving them inside to avoid bad weather. This way they transition more naturally but sunrise is an issue. I can't leave them open on the SW side of the house...thieves and neighbors would see them for sure. Not too mention anyone that drives by. Since my neighbor has their own business selling on ebay or something traffic is spontaneous lots of mail trucks and unknown people. Maybe it will just help transition faster and I can get them back in the shop in 3 weeks or so to finish them off with the natural autumn solstice 😉.

The gg#4s just made this journal longer then expected so stay tuned for a photo grow after my autos are done 😆.

[Cannabliss]

Thanks for the reply. Have you found any difference in the brands of air-cooled hoods or do the majority of them do a decent job? Just trying to gather input for those using them. Thinking of perhaps purchasing a 600W air-cooled package sometime in the near future.

[Chefbjy]

Depends what size hood you get I'm using the 6inch and haven't noticed a difference between the 2 different brands of hoods I have. Thinking of picking up some other open reflectors for winter though. It gets cold in the shop and they're super warm running reflectors.

[Cannabliss]

I probably have to stick with the cool-aired ones. Even during Winter it get's hot here lol. Thanks again for the info my friend.

[Chefbjy]

Seems like there's a bit of a mag problem with this leaf? There can definitely be some burn on the tips but there are some leaves that just making me suspect k as well not sure if you can tell. But here's some more pics.

[Chefbjy]

Yeah I'm going to water again before I give them some langbeinite. I think the temps had a lot to do with it and the watering was held back due to high humidity. Supposed to be in the 90s again and a little hot this week so they'll be needing water more soon 😆. Thank you for stopping by D.A.A.S.69 and hopefully you're right about it clearing up on its own.

[alltatup]

Awesome, fabulous colas!! I see a little nute burn in some of the pics, so yeah like DAAS says, flush.

[Chefbjy]

It's been nothing but water until a few days ago and just kelp tea with molasses...not watering to run off. Maybe I'll ph it next watering with a slight run off 😉.

[Californiakid]

Are the leaves with the issue autos?

this picture is my og kush rolex auto. My autos do this towards the end. I let it go last run to see how bad it would get. It looked ugly until trimmed but smoked well.

I gave 3/4 strength calmag this morning just to see. I need some more tea ingredients to battle more issues without killing my microbes .

[Chefbjy]

Californiakid yes the autos have a little mag issue I think...langbeinite will be used shortly. It's not bad and isn't spreading so hopefully they make it another 3 weeks without running into a big problem. I also use epson salt for mag issues but the langbeinite seems like a better alternative with this stage of growth.

[Chefbjy]

Before and afters of my training and pruning not auto gg#4s. First real pruning they've ever had 😆. Leaving them outdoors while the Skywalkers finish up in the shop. Last night was the first real dark period they've had from seed. I'm expecting them to just burst out of the 15 gallon pots now 😉. We'll see if this initiates flowering since days are getting shorter. Might finish them up in the shop though because I don't want people hacking them down early...don't trust too many folks these days.

Amazing weight gain on the Skywalkers in just days time, count down for harvest approximately September 4th.

I'll also be modifying one side of the shop for a 4-5 plant scrog and see if I can fill the space 😉. Just have to have a garage sale donate some stuff and just take some crap to the dump. I'll post pics once process begins. Having trouble uploading pics now will try later...

[Chefbjy]

Still can't upload training pics 😡. So here's some eye candy 😆.
