Purple Envy, Chemdog Millionaire & Bud Bud Bling Tingz!

[D.A.A.S.69]

PaganRich, Whats going on Mate ? Have you ever seen a British TV show called Keeping Up Appearances? Or Blackadder ?
Man those are super funny, shows.
Especially MrsBucket.lol

[PaganRich]

D.A.A.S.69 This is probably one of the best TV comedy series from over here, ever, mate. Do heartily recommend

Well, after such a promising start I today chopped down Chemdog. Had enough. Learnt though that next year I will shut down start of June and only start up the veg tent in Aug and the main tent, again mid Sept. Have another Chem in the main tent but I`ve admitted defeat. Too hot...31.5c or 88.7 consistently defeated any ability to lower temps sufficiently. The damage was done. If I had more experience and knowledge I may have faired better however I`m not sure. Bud and Purple are on the next hit list though they are not out of it yet. Grow or die...simple choice as I told them though I left out the mawahahahaha

[PaganRich]

I woke up this morning and felt a tad murderous so `disposed` of the Bud Bud and Purple. Have a Chem now in main tent and 2 particularly nice cuttings, one each from Purple E and Bud Bud in the veg tent. When these are grown and assuming I can find this post again, I will update this to show how the second, non heat slaughtered grow went...thanks for checking this page and sorry it was a disaster but we live and learn and continue to move onwards and hopefully upwards

Having a bit of fun today in the veg tent with next generation of Bud Bud. I much prefer mucking around in that tent than the flowering one, more to tinker with. Pic 1 shows a Bud I`ve just adjusted. She`ll soon have restraints removed for a day then added again to re-adjust height training. Pic 2 shows a Bud with restraints just removed. Pic 3 shows a side by side comparison and Pic 4 shows a Red Diesel who has just had her restraints removed and I`ll leave her to have a shimmy overnight and then tidy her up tomorrow and add some restraints to adjust

[alltatup]

They all look quite happy!!!

[PaganRich]

Day later and lasses pulled from veg tent to re-adjust after a night of stretching and shaking themselves out a bit. Restraints added again but lowered/ raised to promote specific growth
Bud Bud Pics 1-2 before I did anything & Pics 3-4 after I re-adjusted. Reckon 2-3 weeks tops before flip
Red Diesel Here just cos I showed her yesterday. Reds don`t do as thick stems I find whilst vegging but they are tough and strong and do thicken as she flowers in harvest whereas some other strains have quite nice thickish stems whilst still vegging. Pic 5 before & Pics 6-7 after I re-added restraints

Pagan, Them are some bonnie lasses. I hope I didn't screw that up. LOL

[PaganRich]

kingfish you`re mellow my friend

[oldjarhead100]

Looking good Pagan

[PaganRich]

oldjarhead100 Cheers mate, find it very peaceful and relaxing doing my veg tent. Good for the ole headspace melarky

[PaganRich]

Bit of Staind `Outside` playing in the background, wind howling from a storm outside, rain lashing the window...ah, another day in England
Bud Bud is coming along nicely, responding well to this re-adjustment Pic 1
Pic 2 shows how the Red Diesel took to it. When she reaches roughly the top of the green rod in the soil I`ll add circular support and remove restraints. I`m thinking she`ll then rise another few inches and I`ll see about flipping her around then. I`m keeping her locked down as my veg tent is only small-Pic 3-and I have different stages of growth going on inside from cuttings to pre-flip. I do like my veg tent. Feel very peaceful when I`m working in there as it rests a-top of a table which is a good height for me.

PaganRich The story has nothing to do with Christianity: it's in the Jewish bible.

[PaganRich]

alltatup There you go. Shows how much attention I spent in RE

[alltatup]

PaganRich Not to worry: some of my best friends are pagans...

[kingfish]

Pagan, those are awesome. Pic. 1 is just the way I like her to grow. From this point on I wouldn't touch her. From now on, I would just keep everything even. If one cola get ahead of the others, just bend it down to keep everything even. I really like pic.1 The others are great but I like pic 1

[PaganRich]

kingfish Thanks kingfish very much appreciated and solid advice mate. Just posted a Nitrogen question and would appreciate your thoughts and experience on it. Stay mellow, mate

[kingfish]

Pagan, here is what I'm talking about. See the 2 nodes getting taller then the rest in pic1? Just bend them down to even everything out pic2.

[PaganRich]

I do appreciate what you`re saying however I`m settled into the style I`m working on as I said earlier but I really am grateful for your suggestions. I have done this method a couple of years ago with Red auto`s so know, as you said, how effective it can be but I just like fiddling with the girls and manifolding/ star patten allows me to. Thank you though for talking me through this. It`s always helpful getting any input from an experienced grower

Hey PaganRich, Thought I would bump this thread up again. I am considering getting back into soil to buffer the growing medium better and slowly work towards a re-usable medium. Hydro is fine but can swing too easily. Time to return to my roots so to speak.
Thanks for posting about the soil at the start of this thread.

I miss Pagan I miss hearing about his conquests and grows. PaganRich are you growing community garden this year?
