Dr Krippling Kripple Roulette Organic Grow in Soil

[PaganRich]

I`m enjoying this grow mainly as I`ve decimated the spider mites and whilst still treating am enjoying this period of not having to watch them violating my poor helpless girls..they will return, they always return with yet more attitude but I will continue to fight the good fight...little buggers.
Anyway, Pic 1 before I did anything
Pic 2 & 3 after some hefty re-structuring which is it til the flip now apart from some slight re-adjustments on the way. Fed and she seems happy enough. Took some cuttings to root.
This is nought more than manifolding and a mobile Scrog and each hole has a dedicated stem allocated to it (frame has 21 holes) so it`s just wait and see how this pans out. Be interesting to see how I cope with height variations/ adjustments-that might be tricky. She`s around 9-10 inches here from soil and plan to flip at 20 which shouldn`t take too long to get to, hopefully

Looking great love the training

PaganRich, looking great, Mate, as always,
If you flip at 20inches, your gonna increase your yield a bunch, if you got the light for it, I can't remember what lights you use though, but I'm sure you got enough, and good lamps-bulbs.
Hope you are doing well, stay mellow.
Cheers.
PS, if you get a chance read up on the USS Cairo, an ironclad, that got sunk in 15 minutes, at Vicksburg, and all the artifacts they found on it. Very interesting.

Thanks KTM690 Think the structuring is more for me mucking around enjoying myself D.A.A.S.69 Bloody hell, read the history and saw the ship and weapons,etc. Have you ever been on it mate?

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

PaganRich, we used to stop every weekend when they wre digging it up, around 1959-1960. And watch them dig it up,it was on the YazooRiver, where it was sunk, a mile or two from the MsRiver, I was just a little kid, but my family sure enjoyed stopping an looking at it.While they were raising it.
They got it put back together now, and anyone can go aboard, and check it out. It's on display at the VicksburgMilary Park, it's an awesome vessel.
It was the first boat in the war sunk by a Torpedo , placed about 3-5 feet under the water line.
Good job with your plants, Mate, they look great.
Those mites are truly hell, glad you got them took care off, they will make you lose sleep. No kiddn,
Cheers.

D.A.A.S.69 I love stuff like this D plus the first electric torpedo, eh? That and the Battle of the Wilderness happened around the time of the Crimean war yet fought in 2 different styles: one almost Napoleonic and the other a taste of WW1 trench fighting. Thanks D.

 

[PaganRich]

Responded well to quite a severe defoliation but it has allowed greater structuring and access to treat for mites plus she now looks much, much better. I took off the wooden skewers as I`m treating her for mites and rust prevention which has hit other plants` leaves and will attach later. Very pleased with this lass sofar-Pics 1 & 2...From now on I will just be working on keeping an even canopy til I flip in roughly 2.5-3 weeks I reckon which works for rough 2 months vegging planned for so on track

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

PaganRich now that is one beautiful plant,you got there Mate,
She looks perfect !!
Gonna be a very nice producer too, can't wait to watch her mature, she looks very strong looking, and very healthy.
Cheers
Ps, still waiting to hear from our dear Swedish friends, smoke report. Peebz
For the first time he did an awesome job, with his plants.
No kidding.

 

[Canuck147]

Training and plant look great!

 

[PaganRich]

D.A.A.S.69 Thanks D-appreciated mate. Yeah, he certainly did good without a doubt. D-when you grow outside do you get inundated with bugs and stuff or do the predators keeps the numbers down cos I would imagine warm moist grow lands must be a pests` paradise mate

 

[PaganRich]

Cheers Canuck147

PaganRich morning mate, it just depends on the weather mostly, some years are perfect, some years it rains to much, but as for insects ,they are never a problem, deer are our biggest problem, by a long shot, and an occasional poacher,
That's why we always plant a bunch of seeds, in 6-8 different locations. We plant in the thickest places we can find to.Like in a cane thicket or briar thicket, people don't venture into those places, too many snakes.
Your plant looks great, mate, one to be proud of for sure.
Cheers

I`m trying this structure method with a Purple Envy but it`s just not happening due to the nature of the strain-well, it is but it`s a heck of a lot more effort so not a strain I will use this tactic with, again. For Roulette it`s going well and I reckon flip in 2-3 weeks. Four days since robust defoliation and she`s cruising along nicely...

 

[alltatup]

This one looks absolutely lovely to me. I think poor badazz looks tortured.

 

[PaganRich]

alltatup Like the Milk Tray Man I will woe you over to the Dark Side...Bad Azz is mellow, she`s alright

 

[KTM690]

Looking very nice she's gonna b a monster

 

[PaganRich]

I was just going to type something KTM690 in response, looked up and saw that pic of Milk Tray-tray to chocolate-chocolate knocks thought out of head. Doesn`t bode well, does it?

 

[KTM690]

Haha that's funny

 

[PaganRich]

Funny ole business this scrog malarky. Purple Envy was started around the same time as Roulette and whilst strains vary considerable I have never felt she was quite at ease with this mobile scrog frame idea but there you go.
Pics 1-5 show Roulette with Pic 5 showing area on left that needs to be developed further. De-mited today though no living mites seen for just over a week now in both tents though they are there of that I have no doubt. I have been battling them now since Oct`18 and it`s nice just to have a bit of space from them before Round 2.
Now, I`ve added some pics of Purple Envy and whilst she`s getting there she isn`t the best strain for training like this. I reckon just topping and say a figure 4 grow pattern would most likely suit her better...Pics 6 & 7 show that growth hasn`t been as robust and structuring has been difficult. Pic 8 shows her next to Roulette

 

[alltatup]

Your mesas are absolutely perfect. Good job, sir!!!
