[QuarterbackMo]

Thx bud! Practice makes perfect... Well, I don't have any plans on a full blown warehouse as I'm just going to focus on my small little garden... :cool


Thx BG! Ahh, plans are constantly evolving... :thinking


Thx bro... I seriously fucked up big time and burned my girls with Green Cure... Fucking careless mistake and read the dosage wrong... Good news is that I won't see any PM any time soon... :headbang


Whaddup Bud! Shit, that's the last thing I need to worry about... Guess I'll have to find some links on the rebuild-kits and order one to be safe... :shake


Thx Baddog! :rock


Thx Brah! You're doing a good job as well... :nod


Thx Socachi! The other ballast is the 600W for the adjacent tent, but I plan on removing the tent for more space in Round 12... :yes


Thx hiboy! I have no plans on failing... Although I did fuck up with the heavy Green Cure burn... Nevertheless, the show must go on and will be completed... One way or another... :itwasntme


Thx GoD! It's almost time for the flip... I was set back a bit with the Green Cure mistake, but the girls are doing well now... :whew


Will do my friend... Got an update coming down the pipe... That reminds me, when are we gonna see your UC setup? :wondering


Thx for the support Bubblehaze! I think I'm gonna flip as soon as I drop the screen on these girls and spread them out for a somewhat level canopy... :icon_dizzy:

Shady Intermission… Master x Bubba comparison from Round’s 8 and 9

Just thought I’d show some eye candy for my friends and the lurkers… All of the following nug shots are Master Kush x Bubba Kush. Round 8’s medium was B’cuzz coco and chunky perlite with GH 3 part nutrients and the HammerHead plus MOAB combo. Round 9’s medium was FFHF, B’cuzz coco, chunky perlite, and FFLW with PBP nutrients and HammerHead. Both rounds also had the typical supplements such as CalMag, Roots Excelurator, Great White, Bud Candy, Flora Blend, and Mad Farmer’s NUTS. Additionally, Round 8 was manicured and then hung to dry before the cure. Round 9 was dried in the pots and then manicured before curing. Enough talk… Here’s the goods…

:icon_dizzy: Shady’s Under Current… Crazy Details before the Flip

Ahh damn… I think I’m goin’ crazy after making a careless mistake with the Green Cure… Burnt my girls pretty good, and it set me back a bit. Well, sometimes I’ve got to get burned to learn… Other obvious mistakes were being too lazy and not preparing for this round better with less rootbound plants and much shorter in height. The slow root development from the initial root ball, coupled with the original plant height at transplant has easily caused the lack of stability in the net pots… Luckily the roots are finally developing and are substantially rooted in the net pots to allow the scrog installation. Next round will be done proper after this first test round in the Under Current. But right now, it’s time to get some work done before the flip… Going crazy… [FONT=&quot]:music[/FONT]

"Krazy"

(2Pac feat. Bad Ass)

(Intro)
Give me a cigarette DAWG! (inhales)
They got me feelin crazier than a motherfucker
I got Bad Ass in this motherfucker
Makaveli the Don, representin the Outlawz
Bad Ass representin the L.B.C.
So what'cha wanna do? Y'know how we do it

(overlapping the Intro)
.. puffin on lye
Hopin that it get me high
Got a nigga goin cra-zy
Oh yeah, I feel cra-zy

(Chorus)
Time goes by, puffin on lye
Hopin that it gets me high
Got a nigga goin cra-zy
Oh yeah, I feel cra-zy

(Tell 'em bout it)

(2Pac)
Last year was a hard one, but life goes on
Hold my head against the wall learnin right from wrong
They say my ghetto intrumental, detrimental to kids
As if they can't see the misery in which they live
Blame me, for the outcome, ban my records - check it
Don't have to bump this but please respect it
I took a minus and now the hard times are behind us
Turned into a plus, now they stuck livin blinded
Hennesey got me feelin bad, time to stop drinkin
Rollin, in my drop-top Jag, what's that cops thinkin?
Sittin in my car, watch the stars and smoke
I came a long way but still I got so far to go
Dear mama, don't worry; I'ma watch for snakes
Tell Setchu, that I love her, but it's hard to take
I got the letter that she sent me, and I cried for weeks
This what came out when I tried to speak - all I heard was

(Chorus - repeat 2X)

(One, two, three, four)

(2Pac)
I see bloods and crips runnin up the hill
Lookin for a better wayyyyyy..
My brothers and sisters it's time to bail
cause even thug niggaz prayyyyyy..
Hopin God hear me, I entered the game; look how much I changed
I'm no longer innocent - casualties of fame
Made a lot of money, seen a lot of places
And I swear I seen a peaceful smile on my mama's face
when I gave her the keys to her own house, this your land
Your only son done became a man
Watchin time fly; I love my people do or die
But I wonder why, we scared to let each other fly
June 1-6, '7-1, the day
mama pushed me out her womb, told me, "Nigga get paid."
No one can understand me - the black sheep
Outcasted from my family, now packin heat
I run the streets, a young runaway, live for today
When he died, I could hear him say, c'mon..

(Chorus - repeat 2X)

(Bad Ass)
God help me out here, cause I'm posessed
I need the root of all evil for my stress
Cause money's like a stong prescription drug, it's got me addicted
to the pleasure and the pain it inflicted
Somethin bout the paper wit the pictures of the president's, head
Damn, it's like a motherfuckin plague that spread
It's epidemic; forgotten, forgotten it got worse
I keep my head on straight, makin money cause it's cursed
Makin money makes a difference day by day so I gotta stay
paid, no doubt, day in and day out
This life is like a vicious cycle called fightin to live
No matter how hard you try, it's in death, you gotta die
A lot of my, peers didn't make it to the years to come
Did life doin right, or did life livin dumb
Who has the answers? I wonder; I turn to my elders
They aged and experienced, but they can't even tell ya
or tell me, that there'll be light at the end of the road
(Why?) Cause they don't even know
A million thangs run through my mind..
You ain't gotta be in jail to be doin time..

(Chorus - repeat 2X)

(Chorus repeats while Tupac speaks below)

(2Pac)
I feel fucked up in this bitch.
I smoked half a ounce to the head
Chocolate thai, indo, Hawaiian, lambsbread, buddha, all that shit
I'm fucked up in this motherfucker, and Hennesey don't help
and Hennesey don't help - Thug Passion in this muh'fucker
Makaveli the Don puttin it down to the fullest, maximum overload
3 Day Theory - Killuminati to your body
with the impact of a 12 gauge shotty
Double-I slugs, no love, straight thugs

One time for my niggaz in the jail cell
(One time for my niggaz locked up)
One time for my niggaz doin life in hell
(One time for my niggaz and shit, one time)
One time for my niggaz in the jail cell
(One time)
One time for my niggaz doin life in hell
(One time for my niggaz locked down)
One time for my niggaz in the jail cell
(For my niggaz locked up, one time)
One time for my niggaz on Death Row
(One time for my niggaz on the Row)
For my niggaz on Death Row
One time for my niggaz livin, broke
(Westside, California style, L.A.!)
One time for my niggaz livin, broke
(You know what time it is, no doubt)
One time for my niggaz in the.. jail cell
(Get high, puffin on lye, wonder if it get me high)
(Yeah, yeah, crazy..)

Hmmm… the 3 day theory…


Let’s get the details out of the way… I’ve been manually topping off my UC, but will install a 50 gal top off res in the next few days. Here are the stats of the manual top offs so far:

1st Top Off: 4 gal total on 1/16/11
CalMag: 1 ml/gal
DM Grow A: 6 ml/gal
DM Grow B: 6 ml/gal
Roots Excel: 1 ml/gal
PPM: 344 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 5.63

UC Stats Before Top Off
PPM: 344 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 5.70

UC Stats After Top Off
PPM: 344 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 5.70


2nd Top Off: 4 gal total on 1/20/11
CalMag: 2 ml/gal
DM Grow A: 7 ml/gal
DM Grow B: 7 ml/gal
Roots Excel: 1 ml/gal
Aqua Shield: 5 ml/gal
PPM: 420 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 5.70

UC Stats Before Top Off
PPM: 333 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 5.90

UC Stats After Top Off
PPM: 344 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 6.05


3rd Top Off: 4 gal total on 1/26/11
CalMag: 2 ml/gal
DM Grow A: 8 ml/gal
DM Grow B: 8 ml/gal
Roots Excel: 1 ml/gal
PPM: 548 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 5.60

UC Stats Before Top Off
PPM: 325 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 6.10

UC Stats After Top Off
PPM: 345 @ 0.5 conversion to EC
pH: 6.10


All top offs were done by hand watering through each net pot and then the remaining 2 gal was added to the epicenter. I realize that I’m running Zone and there shouldn’t be any benefit to the use of Roots Excelurator or AquaShield, but I’m experimenting with the net pot feed in this manner until I get the top off res attached to the epicenter. You can also see a longer period of time between the 2nd and 3rd top offs due to the Green Cure mistake…

Time to put in work and prepare for the flip…

Lovely girls shady,, want you to pull some pounds off the UC. :)

G81

 

[UCtestn]

Lovely update. They look great!

 

[BudGoggles]

Bummer on the burn at least they still look decent and will bounce back fast for you.
Scrog them bitches and let the games begin
BG

 

[Chris1]

Great looking grow Shady, everything looks very healthy.

 

[Mr.GoodCat]

Shady did you decide to go sterile rez or benis? Lookin good bro. I got a bit frustrated with my uc install. Another week or so and my room should be done and I can show some pics of my hard work.

 

[Baddog]

Ya you can see the burn on them a little! Not bad at all though those girls should pull through Nicely for you for sho! Looking good shady!

 

[justiceman]

haha those roots are looking great! You can tell the plants are stacking up very nicely. I'm excited to see this in bloom.

Damn the difference is interesting between round 8 and round 9 MKBK. I'm thinking the round 9 has more floral colors and possibly a bit more crystal content? Would you say one smells more then the other?

Additionally would you suggest that the difference in drying and curing had significant impact?

 

[QuarterbackMo]

They look good still keep doing what your doing.

Sup brah! Looking forward to your UC update. I'm still on the fencepost, but the Zone and Roots Excelurator seems to work together... I've got to make a decision when I flip and flush the system for bloom nutes though... :thinking

Ya you can see the burn on them a little! Not bad at all though those girls should pull through Nicely for you for sho! Looking good shady!

Thx Baddog! These girls are doing very well now... :whew

Additionally would you suggest that the difference in drying and curing had significant impact?

Thx for the kind words justiceman! Well the buds from both rounds seem to be very similar in taste and high... While they only vary in appearance and density of calyx structure... If you grow the plant happy, then genetics will always prevail... :happy

They look good still keep doing what your doing.

Thx QuarterbackMo! I'm just going with the flow, while staying simple and consistent... :nod

Looking good shady. Love the root porn.

 

[grow_dat_nasty]

Nice work Shady, gotta love the very detailed reports! Keep it up!

 

[lilredwagon]

Real clean use of a limited space! I'm totally interested in seeing how a lil scrog action kicks out in your set up! Your space is (size wise) almost identical to my currently abandoned home garden, and I've thought a time or two about droppin' in a small UC and lettin' her hunt.
All successes to you man, hope it makes some nice weight for ya.

-by the way, cured meds look like fire bro!
