Hmm...don't think so. If i'm not mistake, and i can very well be, this is from Shmoe's stock...

Shady or Rollin Face might be able to verify. Same seed stock that Shady has.

Thanks for joinin the party TF!

[diffrentstrains]

What up Zoo???

Good work again as always..

Is my memory serving me correctly in that you had more lights in the stadium the last couple times? Just wondered your thoughts on change, ( if there was one)?

Because of your inspiration, I am in the process of building a "corner stadium" that I will use to veg plants.

sub'd for sure here. Thanks for the "epic" thread!

I have 4k in the stadium and 1200w in the tent.
Stadiums are great for yielding from small spaces.

thx TG, appreciate the words. doin my best over here with much help from the Farm.

lol, that's probably my least 'pro' part of my grow...but thanks anyway. i have trouble cloning but it doesn't keep me from trying!!!




little update later today or tomorrow.


thanks for looking :hi

little update later today or tomorrow.

lol. :fighting0085:


=========

Things are chuggin along in the stadium and tents.

Stadium as of today sits at day 33, approaching the start of wk 6. I was late on the first pk boost. Wanted to hit it around week 4, but got to it at the start of week 5.
With the 10 week strains its tough to pin down when is most beneficial to spike the PK. i'm definitely going to hit the last swell hard w/ MOAB+HH, around week 7 and 8. week 9 and 10 i'll be tapering the base nutes down and will be eyeing trichs for the finish line.

My confusion is when i should increase PK for the initial swell. I figured i'd wait till the stretch to stop so that I can keep the N pushing while it establishes the budsites. Once the stretch is over, prune and boost the PK to fill out those budsites. last boost is to fatten em up.

any thoughts?

Tent is somewhere around week 2-3. Stretch is just starting to slow. Canopy is a bit tilted, i'm still workin on that. The following photos are from 3 days ago.

Black Ice OG

Purple Capo Kush

Purple Urkle, a great structured plant. nice lateral brancing and stretches little. I'm hoping the flowers turn out just as good. A great candidate for a super sog in the stadium. Picture...150, packed in the shelves, almost no veg time and i could harvest once more per year.

My sad attempt at canopy control. gettin better though:sad0104:

I feel like i can take a pound or two of foliage per day with no harm.I can't keep up.:character0095:

OK, so my second question of the week is about super cropping. I've been pinching/sqeezing the stem until i hear a slight crunch/snap. that's it. the ones that didn't quite snap..I bent them gently in an arcing motion. nothing more. so, is that super cropping?

Some stadium shots

Alien Dawg

Alien Dawg - SFVOG ( these were havin some hormonal issues at the flip. They seem to be fine now, but boy they were doin some funky things during the stretch.

Deadhead OG

Chemdog's Sister/D bx1 - 2 different plants, both lookin over fert'd in these pics. days after lookin like they're starting to be N def....they'll be flushed tomorrow and fed 3/4 strength.

Chem Double Under Dawg. If she smokes as good as she looks and smells, we're keepin her.

HERE WE GO!!!:dance:party0023::icon_animal26::boogie:

Looking Good

Plants look happy and healthy, wish I had a Stadium. Don't think you can go wrong with your supercropping



mal

 

[sfzoo]

Thanks mal. the stadium setup is prefect for small spaces. easy to set up and low equipment costs.

My issue w/ supercropping is that i've been kinking it very violently and breaking the stalk. Been told that's not what supercropping is....so i've been trying to simply pinch stalks instead of kinking and bending.

 

[Shady]

Looking great sfzoo! The DUD and SIS can easily get too much Nitrogen and the clawed leaves... But, when done right they produce some fat and dense colas... :cool
