Shady’s Under Current… Under Construction

looking good bro! One question, have you had any issues with the white urkle having auto-flowering issues? A buddy of mine has the cut and it looks to have auto flowered on him.

Thx bud! Nope, no autoflowering in my White Urkle... She was in veg for over 5 months and rootbound before the flip... :itwasntme

Kickin major ass in there bro
Be careful with the booster ya dont want to OD em on PK

Whaddup BG! Got to thank you again and again... I reduced the PK boosts a bit after your post... :nod

Mmm looks delicious. You are killin it man

Sup brah! Thx for the props... :rock

They look amazing man !

Thx for the very kind words my friend! :happy

that OG looks killer

Thx bud! She smokes great, but was not worth the space with her low yield... :shake

Like Biggie used to say "And anotha One", sick round 1ce again bro, not a burnt tip in sight & healthy as can be, continued good vibes, Peace Shiva

Right on SSP! Too bad I fucked up Round 12, but at least Round 11 in the UC is dialed-in... :icon_spin:

Great results bro! They look fantastic. How do you like that aquashield? Do you prefer that over zone?

Keep up the good work bro!

Thx for checking out my thread MaryJaneNorCal! I gotta say that Aquashield has done an excellent job... :yes

This grow just keeps going and keeps on getting better. This round is off to a great start and the OG Kush finished off sweet looking.

I bet your jars are topped off pretty good right now.

Right on my man! It is indeed a great feeling to have full jars curing with some delicious herb... Thx again for the good karma... :damnhippie:

Looking great shady. I missed the first 9 rounds but round 10 looks like a great run.

What strains do you have in your on deck circle for next grow around?

No worries brah and thx for stopping by... The next round is gonna be all the seedlings that need to be sexed along with a few new surprises... :)

Looks like it's snowing in Shady Land. You're rockin it dude.

Thx bro! Are you back in action yet? :wondering

wow beautiful og man i need to wrastle me some ocean grown ha. that hybrid u made sounds ill bud.:harvest:

Glad you liked the eye candy Illmind! I'm kinda surprised you aren't growing any OG though... And yeah, I'm hoping that accidental cross is a fine female... :makeup

Dammm shady that's a sick og cut man!--evrythings lookin so icy and tasty killer work! respect!

Ah man... I'm just trying to keep up with your skillz brah... Thx for the support! :friday:

Guess your high from smoking all of those incredible plants.......are you a trim to music or trim to a tv in the background kind of a guy?

What's crackin Snowblind! Yeah, I've been spinning trying to balance 40 hr weeks and tend to my ladies... But I've always got the music on while trimming... :music

ive seen your threads all around bruh at many fourms and i always get stuck lurking through them.. always good reads and pix no mater what forum.. good shit SHADY.. pleased to meet you..

Thx for joining me on this crazy ride ProblemChild760... Luckily I'm only on the Farm and TokeCity, cuz I couldn't keep up with any more sites... :icon_dizzy:

Shady’s Under Current… Under Construction

Happy 420!!! It’s been a while since my last update as I’ve been busy with work, and a little bummed that I screwed up Round 12. Initially, I was on the verge of pulling all of Round 12 and starting over since the Hanna meter’s pH probe was replaced, but after a week of thinking… I decided to move forward and learn from my mistakes in veg with Green Cure and nute lockout in bloom, starting with a thorough flush and reset. That being said, I won’t post any photos of Round 12 until the chop, but will focus updates on my first Under Current run in Round 11. My laziness is kind of embarrassing, but I finally installed my exhaust system and carbon filter on 3/26/11, and was able to run both ballasts at full power for the first time…

Using 6” ThermoFlo insulated ducting, the two 6” hoods are connected to a Y adaptor that ducts into an 8” elbow bringing hot air through the Max Fan…

The 8” Max Fan is then exhausted through two opposing 8” duct flanges which are bolted to the ceiling…

And the 8” ducting carries the hot air through the attic into a Can 50 carbon filter…

Shady’s Under Current Update… Round 11 Belated Bud Shots

:sign0005:

Alright, time for some eye candy! The following photos were taken on Day 52 of bloom… Since then, I’ve dropped the PPM’s slightly and omitted the PK boosts during top offs to begin the final flush before harvest. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d like to discuss different methods of tapering off certain nutrients, overall PPM’s, including water temps and levels during the last week before harvest…

[Max Powers]

I was wondering where you disappeared to..... That Urkle is looking sick! nice and chunky, I hope we have the same pheno. Been awhile since you switched from zone to aquashield, still no noticeable difference?

 

[St3ve]

I usually just start topping off with water only at around 10 days and let the nutes slowly go down as they chow. Then the last few days I stop the top off and let the water go down to nothing.


Looks killer btw, nice work mang

Yo Max! No worries brah... I've just been dealing with technical difficulties on the computer, but it seems like there hasn't been much difference between the zone vs aquashield... then again this is my first time in the Under Current... :thinking

I usually just start topping off with water only at around 10 days and let the nutes slowly go down as they chow. Then the last few days I stop the top off and let the water go down to nothing.


Looks killer btw, nice work mang

Thx for the kind words and advice St3ve! Ironically, I started doing exactly that about a week ago... :clapping

UC the Final Flush… I’ve got the magic in me…

The last couple of weeks have been fun with the girls on cruise control… The bud shots in the last post were taken on 4/5/11. As noted in my top off stats, I had begun to drop PPM’s and eventually started topping off with straight RO at 5.9 pH on 4/16/11, which was Day 63… I also dropped the chiller to 65 deg that day. Just like magic… :music

"Magic"
(feat. Rivers Cuomo of Weezer)

Hi My Name is Bob, And I approve this message...

(Chorus: Rivers Cuomo)
I got the magic in me
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me
Now everybody wants a blast of magic

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me!

(Verse 1)
These tricks that I'll attempt will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse, I'll hypnotise you with every line
I'll need a volunteer, how about you, with the eyes?
Come on down to the front, and stand right here and don't be shy
I'll have you time-travellin', have your mind babblin'
People tryna inherit the skill so they askin' me
Even David Blaine had to go and take some classes, and
I see Mindfreak like, "What's up man, what's happenin'?"
So come one, come all, and see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded, no Ghost or Poltergeist
You know I'm no Pinocchio, I've never told a lie
So call me Mr. Magic Man, I float on Cloud 9

(Chorus: Rivers Cuomo)
I got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold (Yes it turns to gold)
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me (They be snappin' baby)
Now everybody wants a blast of magic

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me!

(Verse 2)
Well take a journey into my mind
You'll see why it's venom I rhyme
Stay on the road, so I call my mama when I got time
I hit the stage, go insane, then jump into that crowd
See, see, when I rhyme I flow on the beat like pidda-dow-dow
See I decieve you with my intergalactic ether
I sing just like Aretha, so respect me like I'm Caesar
I kick it like Adidas, flowin' sticky like adhesive
Be cautious, 'cause what I be on'll leave you with amnesia
I break all the rules like Evel Knievel
It's a spectacular show, 'cause my heart pumps diesel
So whatever you saying, it don't entertain my ego
I do this everyday, Hocus Pocus is my steelo

(Chorus: Rivers Cuomo)
I got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold (Yes it turns to gold)
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me (They be snappin' baby)
Now everybody wants a blast of magic

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me!
