BigCube's grow show and tell.

So I've flipped the lights and trimmed everything below the net. Also started her on flower nutes. Now we shall see how she does.

At what node do you toop ?

This girl has been topped 3 times. From a rooted clone I topped the second node and lst'd the remaining branches to a cross. Then topped the taller ones to let the shorter ones catch up. I then left it pot bound for a couple months with the intent of scrogging it on my next (this) go round.

Very nice scrog you got started there very nicely spread out, I'm Subed and ready to watch as it happens.

This second time around you gonna use less nutrients? It looks like the tips burn a little on the first round. Also have you heard about switching from cal/mag mag/sulfur about half way through flowering? And can you chat a little about your watering and feeding schedule?? Congratulations on your growing come back!

with that much topping was your veg time increased ? Time in veg ? Sometimes I go 6 weeks buy no more than 60 days but that pushing it ! depends on x's topped if topped once I give it 2x's week extra for a total of 6 weeks -- 454 day veg is Ok too

I prepared the plant while my tent was in flower. So it was ready to go as soon as the tent was free. In fact it stayed ready to go for 2 months, potbound waiting.
As soon as it went under the net, Kaboom!

If I was going to start from a rooted clone right now, in a 3x3 scrog I would veg for 6 to 8 weeks. No training at all, I would veg for 4 weeks. But I much prefer preparing my plants while waiting for the tent to be free. Got at least 10 weeks to make something nice!
Also gives you a good head start, it only took a few weeks to fill out my scrog net.

Less N in flower yes. Last time around I didn't cut the N before I started introducing the PK boost. But I caught it and hope to avoid it this time around.

I dont use calmag. I bought some cause everyone was telling me u would need it with coco. But I came to find it's not needed. So I never used it more than 3 or 4 times last grow. Havent used it at all on this one. The GH flora series has mag and sulphur, seems to be all it needs.

In veg I water every 2 days. Full nutrients, water to 10% - 15% run off. Follow the GH flora series recipe. In flower I water the same, but daily. GH flora series recipie plus greenplanet pk spike. Slowly ramp it up to 2000ish ppm. Then I do a 2 week flush where the first week I taper the nutrients from 2000+ down to 0. Then last week just water.

Yeah! I am real pleased with it. I do want to get some name brand fixture in another tent though. That would be the real test. Looking at about 300$ or more if I want name brand that specs out like this one.

us us us, consider us, you won't regret

Week 1 of flower

Actually its day 5. But to keep things easy we're gonna call it week one

So, 5 days in and she's starting to show her dongs, schlong's? I don't know, call them what you will but if this goes anything like its mom did, I'm in for a field of dongs. Not sure if my 3.5g pot is gonna be enough? Lol



Plenty of head space for her, the canopy is sorta flat plan on putting the secondary net in by week 2.



The monster at the side you see there is a 3ft tall 4 month old clone still in her solo cup. Thought I'd toss her in a corner and see what happens.



If you're looking for other cool stuff, I have a small micro tent scrog running 7 100w led bulbs

Mid week update. Had a bunch of growth the last couple days. Tossed up the 2nd net, it will most likely be raised in time.

Taking 1100 ppm at the moment. Will bump it up in a couple days.



Oh and the solo is doing good too
Sitting at 3' 1" ATM

Lookin really great!

Week 2 of flower.

Here she is in week 2. I've stepped up the pk and have defoliated the front half. Will do the back half in the next day or two.

You have a slight sulfur deficiency(bight green new growth). Hotter temps makes it harder for plants to absorb sulfur.
I would add 1 or 2 teaspoons of Epsom salts to 1 gallon of water, it's too late now but stay on your veg food for the first week of your flower cycle. Make a foliage spray ph'd to 6.1 and spray them.

Nope. Thanks though.

The brighter green new growth is genetic. It happenes with this strain throughout its entire life cycle. It's just more noticeable in flower on camera. It's not deficient in anything.

My temperatures are quite low never going above 26 often sitting right at 24.
I never foliar spray my plants. I'm against it.

There is not a single thing wrong with this plant. So, no. I wont be doing any of those things. Thanks for caring enough to weigh in though

Lol. There is no sulfer deficiency. They look wonderful! Has anyone even ever seen a sulpher deficiency? Its in everything. And the plant only needs a percent of a ppm.


They could of at least said cal mag deficiency. ;-)

obviously it needs more than cal mag at this point... just water with 4% milk till harvest should clear it up by week 12 at the latest
but to get explosive growth you are going to want to treat that carbon deficiency which should fix the boron lock out and pre leaperacy it looks like it has

Lol, if you haven't seen one I guess that means they don't exist, and to answer you question I have seen a ton of people around this area with that problem, it usually happens when people use their outdoor soil too many times without reconditioning it. So if you want to be a condescending dickhead I can do that too, go have fun with your shitty little tent MMG. I'd be embarrassed to post the pics you have. What a joke you are on these boards.

Lol. The plants do not look sulfer deficient is the point.
