TF we are home owner now. Im building a shed at the moment to put all the stuff into. I have put a new roof on the house built a new bathroom and now a shed. I will start building my grow room soon. I think I will be up and runing in about 2 to 3 months.

 

[TrichromeFan]

That's great news JP. Now you can set up however you want and don't have to worry about any more landlord issues. Take your time building it and make it kick ass!

They definitely more than doubled their height. Almost a foot taller than any other variety in the house!

looks great TF that sour OG 7 is looking fat for 3 weeks your killing it

 

[TrichromeFan]

Thanks kushtrees. That was the only Cali Connect pheno I kept out of 4 different packs. It is stinky, sugar frosted, and a big budder!

Very nice setup. Takin' notes, brother- you're killin' it!

 

[Shady]

Straight killin' it TF! Damn... I've been missing all these updates cuz I'm not gettin' any email alerts or reg alerts here... In any event, it looks like you've got things dialed-in. Keep up the great work bud!

 

[TrichromeFan]

ttystikk,
thanks man. Havin fun with the rockwool this go round. Very easy once you learn a couple simple tricks. The Jack's is working well for me.
Your sig is a crackup. I remember listening to Freedom of Choice on tape back in 81.

Shady,
always good to see you round in the hood here. I feel ya on being harder to keep up with stuff on the new site. Thanks for the props man. I'll be ready with the body bags...

OK,
here's a lil' update for you guys. At the time of the photos the flowering room was at 37 days into flower with the exception of the short MxB's and SS's. They are 31 days into flower. Just cruising with the Jack's.

Hell yeah! Lookin' awseome! I bet they smell good, too-

I switched things up a few months ago, and ran my cuts into 4" rockwool cubes. They took off, and when I transplanted them into 8" netpots with hydroton- kinda high, so the tops of the blocks are even with the rim of the netpots- and put them back into ebb n flood to thicken up, they just exploded! Blew right past my older girls that had been in straight hydroton. I confess to being a rockwool hater for a long time- didn't like the whole fiberglass/asbestos vibe- but there is no arguing with the results. Damn. Makes me wish I'd bucked my own prejudice sooner!

 

[deep buddy]

so i see your running just the jacks/cal nit/epsom? is that all or are you adding anything else besides the foliar's ? just wondering if you have noticed any significant differences? aroma? growth patterns? are you on dtw like the coco runs or are you re circ, and if so how long are you using your nutes ? and how is it compared to you coco grows so far?
as always looking great TF! really wanting to find me a nice super skunk pheno like yours. shit looks the kill!

 

[Shady]

Awesome work TF! Those girls are pumping out the resin and stacking weight... Things are looking proper in your room for sure. Hope you have a chance to snap some lights out shots for us picture whores that love to get blinded by the bling bling...

 

[TrichromeFan]

ttystikk,
thanks man, Yep, the rockwool is way easy man. I still love the coco, but you can all see the simplicity and ease of use the rockwool offers. I think that I will continue to use it for cloning, just keeping strains around, or mom plants.

DB,
Just running the Jack's, the calcium nitrate, and epsom. All water gets zone at 1-1.5ml per gal. Foliar is with Nitrozyme still. It is hard to tell the differences yet, but I will know from the SS & MxB when they finish. My guess is that the coco with an active rhizosphere is gonna taste better. My setup is always DTW. The Jack's run is nice and lush, that's for sure. And, yes. The OGR SS is a bad motha fucka!

Shady,
my man! You know I like my girls when they get chunky in the right places! I'll have to work on the lights out for ya!

Same plant that I showed before with the deficiency. I am gonna kick up the EC. I think that it could just be deficient.

Gotta run.

nice looking plants and a really good looking well thought out room set-up

 

[Aerojoe]

Oops. That should have been 2g Cal Nitrate that I have been using.

-TF

hey TF, those roots look sweet. I'm loving the double trellis. What ec does 2g/gal cal-nitrate equal for you? how about 3g/gal of jacks?
