[AliasAO]

This is my 2nd Log here on the farm. If you want to check out my 1st log you can click on my SIG.

This grow around will include the following strains which are all cuts:

XJ13 [Monster Pheno Cut]
Purple Kush
Sour Grapes
Kandy Kush
Sweet Tooth

And also from Seed:

Secret Recipe
& Friends :hi

My current set up is [1] Flowering Tent Hortilab 145
1000 watt MH for VEG 1000 watt HPS for flower
6' inline fan which air cools the Light
8' inline fan which pumps air into the Carbon scrubber
10k BTU A/C
T5 FLO lights for MOMs & seedlings/clones
Split inside of the room, outside of the Tent is another Veg area/Mom/clone area
Also have multiple fans and a hepa filtered fan.

My plan for this Log is to keep it simple, and to at the same time cut down on the overall time I spend in my Lab. [bc lets be honest you can lose a life in their sometimes] Id like to become twice as efficient in half the time. My goal will be to update the Log once a week with a weekly picture show that will include 4 Pics that will be taken at the exact same space and exact angles of the canopy each week [to really judge the true character and growth of the plants as a whole] I will also select [1] plant each week that I will spotlight with 2- 4 pictures to show the individual growth which may vary strain to strain.

Id like to start this Log off officially by thanking Logic, the Farm and its vast collective of members and their knowledge. Thanx to anyone whose helped me in the past and to all who will help in the future.

Quick shout out and thanx to a few members who have continued to help me out: SnowBlind, Shady, Crom, Sea, Aligee, Altitudefarmer, Burnalot420, Freak, Rabbitt & the whole Crew at The Cabin. Thanx for all your hard work and honesty!!

Ill be adding some Pictures shortly, taken with my new Digi Camera. No more shitty Thumbnail sized Iphone Pics.

Yes I was able to save and salvage a good amount from the last grow. It wasnt until after I harvested that the PM declared all out war on my mother/ clones bay.

Everything is ALL good now, and the XJ13 turned out damn good. Ive still got a little head stash left too. So once I post the Pics of the new setup and lineup ill try to remember to take a few up close bud porn shots of the XJ from last batch with my new Digi Camera.

Thanx for the kind words and good vibes Og

Gotta enjoy it Gooey.. In spending so much time and interest ,with improving results Im at the point where things are completed and not forced. Its a pleasure and a relaxing moment all in one.

Keep doing your thing. And enjoy the experience.

 

[greenjoe]

very nice....

 

[AliasAO]

Thanx Joe, Im still ironing out some wrinkles but it is coming along nicely..

Secret Recipes .... Joining the Party.

Today I began the Germ process for [4] of My Secret Recipe Seeds from CG here at the Farm. Im really looking forward to growing these out and hopefully picking up 4 females so that I can take them to the limit and start to understand the Phenotype(s) and structures of this Mystery Strain.

At first Glance of this strain and the knowledge of CG's main breeding stock my guess is a variation of this make-up:

[SSSDHx Og Kush] x [UKchemx Conn Chem]

At least in my mind that would be My Secret Recipe if I had such potent, proved genetics in my breeders bay. :mad0233:

Now for the Pictures:

This is my First Pack of seed, Secret Recipe by CG. This is my first exp with beans. These seem small to me but what do I know?

Choose to Germ [4] here they are on a wet paper Towel

The wet paper towel is folded and placed in a zip-lock bag, then into one more zip-lock Bag.

Then I place the seedlings/wet paper towel and Zip-locked bags into a Clone tray with dome on

Within the new couple of Days, I should have some new pics to post with 4 roots popping out of these sexxyyy seeds.

Thanx CG for all the hard work and great GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

The first 2 pictures are from my Sour Grape plant, it has a few leaves that are exhibiting a lighter pale green color and the leaves are curled they look like claws . Only on newer growth. Micro? Thoughts? Recommendations?? Any and all help much appreciated..

The last 2 pics are from my Purple Kush plant. A few older leaves are experiencing a bit of spotting

Lastly, my Candy Kush Plant looks healthy in appearance, leaf wise and color wise, but it droops. [ All leaves arent reaching for the Light?]

Any recommendations or thoughts on how to increase the Vigor and combat the droop? The plants arent under watered or over watered either..

Thanx Farm and friends.

well, i see that your stems are purple, what are the temps in your tent? thats normally a sign to give them warmer temps. and i believe the clawing is a sign of over feeding so you would simply dilute your nutrient solution further since youre sure its not being over watered.

Thanx for the good info Cali...

Thats what I orginally thought regarding the purpling of the stems but the temmp in my room has been about 78-80 a little bit on the high side actually.

I guess I will give the plants a flush next watering then start fresh with my FF VEG nutes.

I have been feeding a little bit of Mothers A and B up until now.

Side note: the run off water is a brownish color when I water the plants.

It should be as close to clear as possible right??

Red/Purple stripping of the stem is associated with a Potassium deficiency...

If the top 3 sets of petioles of emerging leaves are red/purple, not green, it's clear as day, she needs K.
