Started New Grow.

[kingfish]

Tika, I'm in Montana and it is far from summer. It is 43 degrees here this morning. I have been turning the heater on in my grow room. Normally I don't start any grows until now (late fall) so I don't have to deal with bugs like I have to now.

My 2nd grow is starting 12/12.

 

[Redwasp]

Nice. Cant wait to see the finished buds. How many grows fo you have going at 1 time?

 

[kingfish]

I do 2 grows per year. I start one grow and when they go to 12/12. I start the 2nd one.

 

[kingfish]

I don't like the size of my plants for going to 12/12, so I decided to veg them some more. Since they where only in the tent for 1 day, I don't think it will hurt to put them back. The question Paganrich asked about the height of peoples plant before 12/12 got me to thinking. So thanks for the inspiration Pagan.

Here are my girls. Still in their puberty. Pic 3 is the little girl who had about everything you can think of happened to her. From under developed leaves to spider mites to thrips. After getting rid of the bugs, I finally stripped her of all her fan leaves and tied her down and this is the result.

Forgot to upload the pics.

kingfish I always thought indicas doubled, my mistake and put height restrictions down to not getting it right with the girls but when I found this out, it kinda clocked. Glad it helped, mate

 

[Tika]

Beautiful work again @kingfish....love their color too!

 

[kingfish]

Thank you Tika. means a lot.

 

[Tika]

Still fighting The Borg. Just when you think you got them all. They show up someplace else. I think they're getting used to my Spinosad, so I hit them with Safer's soap. We'll see. I just put them in the tent, so I better get rid of the little shits.

I'm doing a little experiment with my girls. I've decided to not strip most of the leaves on my plants this time. I want to see if I can increase my bud size if I leave more leaves verses less leaves. I read an article the other day that got me to thinking. Here are the girls, just completed the first week of flowering.
The Borg, all though not completely gone, they are under control. The little shrimp from earlier has grown into a nice looking lady. She is the one in the rear right. She was quit a pain in the ass earlier but with a lot of TLC, she will be fine now. I let you all know more if anything else develops.

kingfish Morning Kf. question for you mate...how tall from soil roughly are those lasses mate. Useful experience info is why I ask. Cheers

 

[kingfish]

Pagan, they are 15" (38 cm)

 

[PaganRich]

kingfish What height are you roughly expecting post stretch mate? Thanks for this info as it`s really useful, especially watching your grows. Really helps. Cheers

 

[kingfish]

Pagan, I think 28-30" (75-76 cm)

 

[kingfish]

Here are my girls just after I sprayed them for bugs. This is the last time I will spray them with soap. If I see anymore bugs, then I will use Spinosad from then on. As you can see, the buds are developing and I don't want to spray my buds with soap. I'm pretty sure they are under control because I can only see them on a few leaves on the 2 Somangos. The Acapulco Gold and the Amnesia Kush are bug free, and I want to keep it that way. They are now 11/2 week in flowering.
