In the Cuts… With a little bit of everything

:sign0005:
Nice shady them bud shots are starting to look cleaner and cleaner
Thx brah! You've given me some competition with your bad ass skillz in the garden and behind the lens... :rock
Damn son! Can't belive I missed this thread. Shit looks killer shady!
Love how detialed you are
Thx aleYarok! I know my setup isn't as fancy or pimped out yet, but I try to drop a bit of knowledge and eye candy to keep things fun to watch... :character0113:
looks like a great thread everyone.. glad to be here
Thx grinkeeper! Plenty of room for everyone at this party... :party0023:
I notice you have covered your net pots with panda, is that to stop the light? No issues doing this? Looking good...
Yessir... Light can easily penetrate the net pot's top lip hydroton early on when there is no upper canopy to keep things shady... ;)
That guava 13 looks amazing brah, killin it all around
Thx JointOps! Just saw your update and the Dank Desk is a well oiled machine... I don't think I'd ever leave work if I had a job and that desk of yours... :anim_44:

In the Cuts… With a little bit of everything
Still working on getting my timing down with everything growing at diff stages... Here’s a few updates to keep things interesting and informative:
Round 10… The Final Flush Continues
Snapped a couple more bud shots last night and flushed all 4 plants with FloraKleen today and pH’d the RO mix at 5.7 and 6.2, for hydro and soil, respectively…

Round 12… Burning and Still Learning
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I’m still a rookie, and sometimes I’ve got to get burned to learn my lesson. The good news is that the Fire cut and most of the girls are doing well after a week of feeding with an extremely high pH… My Hanna 98129’s pH probe finally failed as mentioned previously and the first indication was very strange new growth on the plants damaged previously by the
Green Cure burn. Here’s my assessment of the chain of events…
It appeared as though there was damage from extreme pH fluctuation and excessive availability of Nitrogen at a pH well over 6.5… First sign was the dreaded claw from Nitrification. Here’s a link to a couple pH charts from Texas Kid:
Since I feed with PBP Grow and Mad Farmer’s NUTS during the first transition week of bloom, and start to feed with PBP Bloom by the 2nd week of bloom, I believe the humic acid and additional grow nutes made excessive Nitrogen available. Consequently, it also appeared that Potassium was locked out causing deformed new growth, yellowing of the clawing leaves, and delayed onset of flowering. Here’s a link to Mulder’s Chart of nutrient interaction that I’ve posted a few times in my journals:

Last, but not least I’ll reference the Revised: Complete Guide to Sick Plants, pH and Pest Troubles as there are many variables and other potential deficiencies:
Yesterday I trimmed the entire lower canopy to start Day 14 of bloom…

I also rearranged the plants and moved both of the Fire cuts to the lower tray since they’re stretching big time…

This is the revised and thinned out upper canopy… The damaged plants are on the left side and unfortunately include the White Urkle and Alien Kush F2…

Here’s a shot of Guava 13 ready to blow up…

Shady Veg Station… Seedlings and Supercropping Techniques
The new seedlings are doing well except for one Chem’s Sis/D that never rooted fully and will be culled… I have not done a res change yet, but did water the babies with a bit of
CalMag; the excess drained into and ultimately topped off the ressy below…

So, I thought I’d do a supercropping comparison between my Fire cut mother, and my recently acquired Tahoe OG mother from GoD… Thx again my friend! The Tahoe OG is on the left and the Fire OG is on the right…

Fire OG in
Happy Frog, B’cuzz Coco, and Chunky Perlite #4… Supercropped by me twisting and breaking the inner hurd of the shoots…

Tahoe OG in B’cuzz Coco and Chunky Perlite #4… Supercropped by GoD pinching the shoots and breaking the inner hurd…

Here’s a quick shot of the Tahoe OG touched by GoD… Look closely and you can see two areas slightly bulging on the same shoot…

The next set of photos are of my Fire cut… I’ll start with the base shoot that has been supercropped twice. As the shoot begins to bulge, it has split the outer hurd on the right side…
http://i769.invalid.com/albums/xx335/Shady-Sativa/FireShadySupercropping0.jpg
And sometimes I twist a bit too much and accidently leave a shoot hanging by a thread… Luckily, I always have some blue painters tape on hand to bandage the wound…
http://i769.invalid.com/albums/xx335/Shady-Sativa/FireShadySupercropping1.jpg
She’s healed up after a couple weeks and the tape can now be removed…. The next three shots show all sides of the resultant scar…
