I predict I will pull about one ounce ,dry.

It appears that I have hit a plateau in my grow journey . Suggestions and critique welcome

Out of what size pot on average because I’ve got all types of things I could show you

 

[Captspaulding]

Bro that’s your grand baby. This run seems to be turning out to be my best run ever. I really was bummed on the first m86 and tgykn landrace. Some adaptations and adjustments and bam. We could be swinging m86 sticks as light swords or I could whip out the pb2 whip. Either way the m86 is a keeper

I’m glad your dig on that varmint
A bum rush that hoe for all the snaggle berries

 

[Captspaulding]

I’m using a 2x4 tent with a SF2000 for veg. Very happy with this set up. The light is way more powerful than what’s needed for Veg.

4” in-line fan running, most of the time the tent flap is open

Pots are a mix of plastic and fabric
A few fans blowing

I’ve been re using soil. Adding some perlite.

The feed I’ve been using is the FF trio with 3 of the powders

So right off the bat me personally I would’ve top all of those plants multiple times before they reach that size. I would’ve probably had those things laid out for 8 top main lines at that point in the grow so that’s one of the things that immediately jumps out to me. It doesn’t matter what pot size I’m running in ill topthe hell out of my plants unless I’m doing a solo cup run but anything that’s 1 gallon and larger. I mean I’ll mainline a 1 gallon to 32 tops a plant that being said, I don’t suggest that for everybody but right off the jump dude you need to get into topping a lot sooner and staking those things out a bit more and that’ll definitely improve your yield. I get on average out of my 1 gallon pot at least an ounce dry a piece and then the larger the pot gets from there the more I’ll yield,
Because I really do start to ratchet up the P &k in mid late flower I mean, I get pretty dumb with it dude and I have yet to see p or k toxicity,
I’ve said it a few times on here. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a P or K tox. It’s always deficiency because folks are scared to throw the kitchen sink at their plants, which is understandable, but it’s pretty amazing. How much of that shit these things can take and how big of a bud you can end up with in some smaller pots you’ve just gotta make sure that your ventilation and circulation are bumping because we’re smaller pot, the faster, your wet dry cycles can complete the more you have an opportunity to get nutrients into the medium, which is everything dude more nutrients for your plant at a proper wet, dry cycle clip the larger your plant will be which translates into larger yields so you just gotta be the master of your domain and really start to manipulate what exactly is happening on a plant by plant basis

 

[Captspaulding]

I think it's an evolutionary response, they hide their junk for as long as they can to keep from getting the machete.

Real lizard brain type shit
Fight or flight
Know when to hold them when to fold them


I knew what was coming down the pipe, bro I seen it from a mile away. The thing was is that I was just holding onto the fact that there was always a possibility, because with some sativa strains, you can have late pre-flower type situations
Not with hybrid as often, but it still does happen if it’s a sativa dominant hybrid, it’s just one of those things that you know I invested a lot of time into it. I nurtured the shit out of those things with an extended veg.
So it’s just one of those things, man that you know mistakes happen and it’s not the end of the world it’s it’s just you gotta put on your rose colored glasses and take away from it. The learned experience and you know I think I did a pretty good job running it through to the point that I did and I’m confident that I could run anything in the world in the damn buckets now so that alone for a dumbass like me is priceless. My whole thing is with them being as fucking monstrous as they were imagine if they were female, they would’ve been twice that fucking size they would’ve been coming out of my roof and that excites me.

 

[Captspaulding]

Im here to kill EVERY…….mold and fungus that shows up on my grow surfaces.



I’ll cut their entire bodies off,
Twice.

I hate trim jail. This nlx m86 five finger is making easier it has hardly any sugar leaves View attachment 2507760

I bought a canna brush after my last harvest. Has anyone ever used one? Did I waste my money? It's advertised to make trimming much easier.

 

[Crazyformes]

Yeah. Not as good grown bud was all tight in calcyxs last gen, this gen it really is external on them and dusting off even, all up pistils once they hardened up, not carrying out the leaf matter.
But yeah the smoke was good, later more amber last time was sleepy-time weed. This time I got her at even whites all over and very few clears to none. Of course I have proper magnification that changes things. Light on color too... 40% orange hairs got buried in when everything tightened up last day and never got pinks.
Smoke has gone from Some Hay (bad grow)> All hit and no flavor (medium grow)> untested good grow.
I got new stuff like hygrometer on the list... something anything to measure potency. Even a chemistry method I could DIY.
(pee)

I have a Tcheck tester. Pretty pricey but a requirement for making gummies. Well you have to have it to know the potency of the gummies. I make mine at 5mg....I use them for pain relief.

 

[Crazyformes]

Allright I couldn’t just send this to @Captspaulding haha, I plan to run one of these seeds I made a year ago or so, Gary Payton x okie X 2012 cement shoes

cap one the only one that got a few of these was a very limited run of em, I wanna run one this winter and maybe I’ll seed bulk for some of yall

May I present as cap named her… Copious

Major citrus orange notes, the pollen recipient was the GP x okie I called it my orange airhead Pheno, my wife (a twice a year smoker at best) is the one who pinpointed that terp and it’s fuckin LOUD, whole basement smelled like candy, I’ll jump back for some pics of that next

Also the reason she is a smaller plant than I usually run was because she was my one gallon challenge entry, and she was tan 100% organic

Nice

Hang on you even have to ask that seriously bro why Bob Barker?
He controlled the nations animal population with a simple ask at the end of every episode

hot chicks plinko and the showcase showdown, which is what I’m naming the puddle jumper if I ever change the paint.



He’s a damned legend.
Who doesn’t love Bob barker?

Well yeah. I know Bob Barker, just wondered if there was a story behind it.

 

[Crazyformes]

Damn, this ended up being long. Oh well. Enjoy or scroll... your choice:


I was in a bad one around then on December 7th when I was 14 or 15, the Pearl Harbor anniversary. A buddy of mine was on leave from the Navy and had just put his hopped up gto on the road, 2 days earlier. We ended up at a bar that he talked me getting into using his wallet full of id's & security clearances and shit.

When we left the bar at closing time, we took off in the direction of the "East Hill" way home. It was snowing and the hill was notoriously bad, but we were able to talk him into turning back and going the longer flat land rt.

People still milling around in the parking lot, saw us go back past the bar doing 100 mph+... About 2 miles from the bar, we hit some slick road and lost it sideways and started skipping down the road sideways at 120+ mph (NYS Trooper estimate). We went off the opposite side of the road and sheared a large power pole off, 12' off the ground. We hit the pole in the passenger leg compartment, where his brother was riding shotgun. I was in the middle back. There was no back seat, it was just framed in plywood with sofa cushions. There were 2 others in back with me.

When we clipped off the pole, it sent us corkscrewing 300yds out into a cornfield, where we ended up, upside down. They found the front hood another 300yds further with the battery sitting on it. The only thing left on the car was the engine and 1 front wheel, still aired up.

Driver is a quad to this day, he can use his arms, but not his fingers. His brother severely fucked his legs where the pole hit. They wanted to amputate, but he made them patch him up with a bunch of hardware and surgeries. One buddy broke his neck, collarbone, wrist, ankle and neck. He had a hole through the palm of his hand you could see through. Other buddy was the only one conscious when we stopped, with me laying on top of him. He said he tapped me on the face and got no response from any of us. He had a broken neck as well. Driver didn't have a scratch. His neck vertebrae dislocated, partially severing his spinal cord, then snapped back.

"T" crawled out from under me and freaked out, thinking we all were dead. He took off running back towards the bar. He stopped at a couple farm houses to no avail and ended up running the whole way back to the bar to get help. I don't remember crawling out of the car, but I managed to almost get run over by a weed grower friend of my big sis. He said I jumped in front of him and when he slid to a stop, my hands were on his front hood and I jumped in and started yelling at him to take me home.

He knew my sis and a bunch of people from my hometown were still at the now closed bar. (My sister and her gf's had spent a month making knee high, pointy toed moccasins for the band that played that night named "The Little Trolls" and were having a little parking lot party, after 2am closing.)

They packed me in the back of a friends station wagon where I could lay down, and took me back to the accident scene. By then, fire and rescue were there. A bunch of people tried making me go to the hospital, but I was too cool and didn't want to get anyone in trouble. I latter found out that I had broken my neck, and back (during a future incident, when they found the scar tissue). I'm pretty sure I broke my leg, ankle, wrist, ribs and thumb as well. The 3 of us must have been like pinball's back there.

Those guys (my friends) were all 5-6yrs older than me. They all ended up making pretty good bank from the insurance. I didn't get shit except a total berating from the investigating trooper the following night, for "abandoning my friends", and leaving them for dead. My hometown cop told me they new I was in there and I needed to contact the investigating trooper in an "or else" type deal. I only remember very little bits and pieces of the the shit leading to the accident, then being back at the bar and scene afterwards. It was 11pm when I talked to the dickhead trooper. He said if I didn't make it to his barracks that night, (3 towns away and a blizzard going on) I'd be screwed. I never went and never heard anymore about it.

I didn't make it home until 6am when my mom was getting ready for work. She asked me where in the hell have I been, I just said I didn't want to talk about it and went and laid down, with her yelling if I didn't make to school that (Monday) morning, I could go live somewhere else.

So I ended up walking past the car on my way to school that morning. It was upside on a trailer at a garage I walked past every day. My 2 buddies I was walking with saw the mangled car and were like "Holy shit, no one could have lived through that".... I was like: "guess again mf'rs, I WAS IN THERE!"

I couldn't sleep with a pillow for 10-15 yrs after that. My neck and back are still messed up after all this time. I go to pain management and get reg "Nerve Ablations" and epidurals in my back.... I having an ablation this Wednesday... Sucks bc I have to give myself an injection every 12hrs for 3 days prier, to bridge a blood thinner I'm on for blood clots in my neck and chest.

That was one of my nine lives, I don't think I have but maybe 1 or 2 left.

Copious amts of cannabis does wonders!

Unbelievable.....sounds like no one should of walked away. I was on the operating room table for 12 hours....them trying to mend me. My heart stopped 3 times, brought back twice by electrical pads and the 3rd by open heart check massage. I have a scar from sternum to public line, a tracheotomy scar, chest tube scars, and the scar from where they massaged my heart. My mother was told if I survived, I had a 1 percent chance, that I would have serious arthritus pain when I get older. Well im there, weed and gummies make it bearable.

 

[NisterMice]

Whaddap farmers!

Plants are looking juiced up

Seems the Strawberry already started growing again - wtf

 

[Crazyformes]

Im

Yeah I’ve heard of people talking about it on a podcast I was listening to actually. They said it was some new fire haha dead ass

Probably just a cut that’s just starting to get around or someone keeping that shit on the low haha

Honestly piff is the weed of my teenage years but every time I try to get something piffy for like the last ten years I was highly disappointed. But nowadays with tissue culture and shit you can definitely get it you just got to pay big money for it haha I got one strain that has a tiny bit of that soapy piff smell and it’s such a tease it just makes me want that old school piff so much worse haha

Just a staiva, Heirloom, landscape guy. Yeah it may be the newest shiny pickle, but enjoy growing them.

I’m using a 2x4 tent with a SF2000 for veg. Very happy with this set up. The light is way more powerful than what’s needed for Veg.

4” in-line fan running, most of the time the tent flap is open

Pots are a mix of plastic and fabric
A few fans blowing

I’ve been re using soil. Adding some perlite.

The feed I’ve been using is the FF trio with 3 of the powders

Think step 1 would be to maximize space usage, 2x4 tent so 24x48, I’d run something like these, 5gallon rigid square pots they are fabric pots that hold their shape square, you could squeeze 8 in there side by side like @HerbalEdu does that would help you utilize every inch of floor space with soil, I like to veg in stages (multiple up pots usually) but that would work to where you veg in maybe a 1 gallon then pop them into these 5’s let them root out for a week to stretch their feet, then flip

I’ve ran the fox farms whole liquid lineup I have I think almost all their liquids c I did make the switch to greenleaf megacrop for a bit (good stuff)

I’ve done Gaia green and FF trio combo runs those were really nice, just the Gaia alone with some other organics does very well.

I’d suggest picking up the Gaia Green once you run out of the FF trio it works great stand alone, but can tweaked all different ways, I think some of my cleanest heaviest most aromatic runs came from my gaia runs

Not to mention once you amend it’s just tap water till next top dress every 4 weeks (in between there is when I usually make a EWC tea, give em some fish emulsion, maybe some Great white shark or Fish Sh!t for a microbe boost

 

[Crazyformes]

Plateau? Not a chance! Time! Time is key! We love to flip and see those pretty flowers, but it’s all about set up, preparation and timing,

Overall plant health is your main factor, you want impeccable heath at flip, more moisture to the roots during stretch increases the stretch drier conditions result in a shorter more compact plant

There’s always adjustments that can be made!

Start easy list what you use currently

Light
Tent space
Exhaust
Fans
Medium
Pots
Amendments and feed

Start with those then we can see what to adjust, your plants always look healthy so you’re caring for them correctly off the bat, small tweaks and adjustments make a big differwnce

Running 5 tents and soon to be 6 shortly ive experimented a bunch

If I could make one suggestion it would be change pots

While my 30gals my be out of the question due to pot size I’d recommend 5 gallon buckets

I can give you the breakdown on how I set them up, I ran them both organic and synthetic, a 5 gallon pot holds near the volume of a 10 gallon grow bag, (one thing people tend to moss when growing in buckets, the soil volume is measured differently so if you base beef off 5 gallons you’ll be short on feed)

That root space is massive to a plant, overall health benefits, your roots are less compact and root bound through flower and they’ll thank you

Problem is lower plant count solid to larger pots, I know within 2 runs and some tweaking I could be pullling 300-400g out of a 2x4 with proper lighting in those 5 gals and 1-2 plants max

I love having the flavor variety (hence why my basement looks like a nursery)

It’s an overwhelming thing sometimes, especially when I got em all running, each plant wanting a gallon and a half to 2 gallons a day large flower, having to hit all the tents at 330am before work (I leave at 415am) cus it’s all off before I get home at 7pm

Midnights are easier cus lights come on at330am and I get home at 640am

(That’s an additional timing variable, setting your timers for what will work best for your lifestyle)


Well that was a rant I’ll stop there haha

Wow....alot of good information. Thank you. I bought some 10 gallon grow bags...very large....when I harvested the plant used roughly half the space with the root ball....some roots wandered into the rest. I've shelved those bags.... now i will pull back out and try again. Maybe use them for my outside plants....get 5 gallon buckets for indoor grows.
As for watering/feeding I go by weight, I water/feed every 3 days, some are getting ready to wilt, others are still a bit heavy, so they don't get as much, has seemed to work well....on very hot sunny days I may need to dump some water in the pot to make it to the feed.

I reuse soil as well.... Ocean Forest, I add worm castings, bat guano, perlite and now some lava dust.

I feel for ya, my whole body is like one giant bone spur, wrapped in arthritis.... lmao

oh, and I'm on home oxygen.... feckn emphysema/copd

I'm not to brilliant at times...


Case in point, a few weeks ago,
I had my o2 tube draped under my chin
while I was smoking the end of a marijuanas...

bc, I'd almost caught my nose on fire already,
bc I'm a dumb-ass & thought the "No Smoking,
Oxygen In Use" warning was basically BS... IT'S NOT!

You saturate your hair with it, like in your nose or beard
and it's like mixing it with acetylene... or magicians flash
paper! It's becomes that flammable! And puffs off a
shorty are enough to ignite it.... Big fn time!


DOTE!!! Somebody get that man a
DARWIN AWARD PRONTO!!!

I predict I will pull about one ounce ,dry.

<---- first two since the 90s, one-ounce wonders
It... happens to all men... it's nothing to worry about...

Dudeeeeee...not good. My head aches just looking at it. I have to thank my lucky stars... I smoked for 40 years...quir 3 years ago....lungs aren't the best...my blood sock is 96...97...pretty consistent.

My best is an ounce....but thanks to all of you on the Trainwreck this grow looks really promising....my outside (in the ground) Blue dream I feel will break the 1 pound mark. 4 foot branches with buds running up the full length.

Good morning farmers.
Ima pull these 2 anyday now.
2 meatzone (12/12 from seed)
