New Grow room

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

 

[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

 

[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]

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

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

 

[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🤗🤗🤗

 

[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.

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!

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!

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

 

[RosettaStoned]

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

 

[Campesino]

Good Work!
Looks like a perfect defol! I love seeing all the different structures on those plants! Great job training, too
That was a lot of work!

 

[ZigZag]

Looking good. Its always interesting to see how different strains respond to different training methods. I usually always end up using a variety of whatever seems to work in my grow space.
OJH_you mentioned that you are using air injectors in some of your planters....are you running air injectors that pump air into the bottoms and up through the medium?
If so have you noticed any difference in growth between them and those that don't?
I've been using them for the last 3 grows and they sure don't seem to be doing any harm, but the medium dries faster so I have to water more often. I think the benefits are when things really get growing_about the 2nd-6th weeks from emergence....and maybe thats due to the medium staying moist all the time from top to bottom, and of course the additional oxygen the roots are getting...lol

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.

 

[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.

 

[Tika]

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