RDWC prep

These are some RMD, White Fire, and C99 girls getting ready to venture into a rwdc system. They have been in these ebb-n-flo buckets for about 10 days, and are showing astonishing growth rates. FloraNova and PBP, molasses, Great White, and a little Floralicious Plus. Sitting about 450ppm... they're showing it's a little hot for them, but they'll pull through :) I used net pots instead of the top buckets the system came with, so I can transfer them easily into 5 gal rdwc system currently being set up.

Root porn coming soon!

Nice but I thought you were staying with soil or is that just for the mums?

 

[altitudefarmer]

I'm running both. Thank you 1284; I had to make some moves to stay under plant count and ended up moving to a new spot. That makes 5 times I've relocated my entire grow in the last 2 years. sheesh. Anyhow, I'm running some hydro in order to make up for lost time (notice I've had no flower pics for a bit?). I'll always keep a soil grow around if I have my way- I like the grow so much better. Just a preference, though, not a performance-based evaluation. Whatever I do will be pesticide-free and well-flushed if grown with chems. Mums will be in soil or soiless, for sure.

These girls are about to be flowered

Purple Haze- I really love this plant!

Pandora's Box- a fine specimen, too! We'll see what a perfect environment can produce out of this girl, Melizzard!

 

[altitudefarmer]

The girls seem to love the ebb-n-flo. Wonder how they're going to respond to rdwc... This is actually the first time I have grown my RMD in hydro. A friend has been running a few, and they are some serious performers. One pheno crowned much like the Aliens I've seen, but it only does it in hydro. Looking forward to posting bud shots of the RMD in hydro... they'll be gorgeous.

Blueberry mama. 6 weeks from rooted clone.

The better part of my mama/clone room. Not pictured are the clone/seedling tables, which are lit by T5s and a few cfls. The HID lighting supplements the table with the cfls.

Looking good! Will finally be trying RMD this weekend. Not cured as much as I would like yet, but enough to get a good idea. See ya laterz

Looking great as always Altitude Farmer! I really like the new DWC setups as well as all those beautiful ladies... :flower

 

[altitudefarmer]

Shoot, Shady, just trying to keep up!!! lol Love your stable. Thanks for dropping in!
Ty, any thoughts on the RMD yet?

 

[waayne]

Man you got those girls lookin happy!:rock

 

[TyKaycha]

...Ty, any thoughts on the RMD yet?

Not yet. Been busy all day today. Hoping to get a chance either tomorrow or at least sometime this upcoming week. Though I might give it a whirl later tonight.

 

[altitudefarmer]

let the games begin

I have the bloom room fired up.

This run will include:
Zilvermist
Pandora's Box
Purple Haze
RMD (3 phenos)
Mosca's C99 Bx
Blueberry
FredHead 1 & 2
White Fire (unknown pheno)
and a seed run including several phenos of Jamaican crosses (Cali Connection), King Kong (All-Star Genetics), Grapefruit x HP (Reeferman- courtesy of Sputnik Pollen Chuckers, LLC :)
Hoping to find some gems in the seed run, and praying to just do these other girls justice. The patients deserve the best. Peace

Damn, you got quite a selection. Rollin a fat one for this.

 

[TyKaycha]

Finally got a moment to fire up the RMD.
Really nice! Very relaxing with a clear head.
Great for daytime use for muscular & joint pain.

 

[altitudefarmer]

Glad to hear it! If you prefer couch-lock, let 'er go another week. Grabbed about 40 clones of the C pheno yestererday before I put mama in the bloom room. Pretty sure this is the pheno I'll be using when it comes time to chuck pollen... Peace!

 

[TortureKill]

Damn alt, I seeu bro. This is gonna be good!

 

[altitudefarmer]

Thanks, TKill. It's been possible thanks to the Farm and all the friendly expert farmers here. I thought I knew it all...LOL. I know less now than when I first logged in, but somehow my crops are twice as good as they used to be...

 

[TyKaycha]

.... I know less now than when I first logged in...

I think it's we know now that there is so much more to learn.

This place makes me feel like a newbie all the time until I talk to someone who isn't on this site and realize, "D@mn I know some sh*t!"

Yeah when i go on many of the other forums i am answering questions and here i am finding answers.

Have you flowered the Purple Headknocker? I didn't think it was from norcal if i am correct. I believe it was brought back from south Africa by RMCC (Rocky mountain cannabis connesieur). I have a run of them about to flip to 12/12 and i cant wait.

 

[altitudefarmer]

The Purple Headknocker was bred in Norcal, by our fellow farmer Your Grandfather. Haven't seen him on the boards, tho, in a while. I had a mutual friend gave me a clone 18 months ago. I have run the PHK 4 times. It is extremely fast 45-49 days, and very frosty. Indica dominant-couchlock stone. Any stress at all will cause it to throw nanners; make sure there are no light leaks in the bloom room, and the dark cycle is uninterrupted. It would not even be in CO except for the guy who gave me the clone- evidently he gave them out all over town, much to the chagrin of the guy who bred her.

 

[biggun4me]

Nice man.. Your dirt grow is similar to mine so I will be paying close attention... Peace
You have checked out my grow before and I hope you will again with more good advice.. Peace...
