Right on bro... I'm trying to prevent any PM, gnats, aphids, and any other BS from messing with my girls. Shit, I need a dehumidifier now... I'm gonna be surrounded by water under the current... :icon_spin:

Thx bud! It's the most I've ever lollipopped before, and should focus all growth on the upper canopy which is stretching like crazy and praying for Magnesium... :thinking

Anyways it's easier to trim it now than small fluffy buds at the end... :cool

Yo Shady,

I've referenced this thread a bunch of times now to see how "Shady is doing it" and use it as an example for how I'd eventually like my grow to look.

Thanks man!

Shady’s Round 9 Begins…

nice update, dig your scrog setup
Thx motherlode! The screen in the Shady Bloom Room is really just to keep all the girls in their place, but the Mother Tent is a true scrog that should have begun flowering a week ago... :itwasntme

Shady’s Round 9 Begins…

Finally flipped this switch on the mother tent’s SCROG… Round 9 Begins with a quick shot of the Master x Bubba in the foreground next to the Double Underdawg #3, Chem’s Sis #1 and #4. Also in the lineup is Casey Jones and Grape Romulan

Every plant in the Shady Gardens was showered last night with Azamax… Including Round 8 where I had to tape a Chem’s Sis #1 that I seriously supercropped since she was towering in the center of the tray…

Shady Update… Round 8

:icon_dizzy: Damn… running out of room real quick. Raised the light to the max with the rope ratchets and will have to remove them soon and attach directly to the ceiling hooks. Got a bit of Mg def so I bumped up the CalMag to 4 ml/gal and added 3 ml/gal of HammerHead PK 4/8, along with an additional 2 ml/gal of GH Bloom raising last week’s res mix to 880 PPM’s at 5.64 pH… Sentinel MDT-1 is now set to water for 10 seconds every 3 hours during lights on. Then I hit the girls with Hammerhead, Bud Candy, and Roots Excelurator on Saturday (Day 14). Here’s shots from today…

Round 8…

Round 8 is going to be HUGE Shady!

*That Chem's Sis #1 really stretched tall, you think they're done stretching? It might be a tight fit, but at least it all fits:).

I'm looking forward to seeing some sick colas in a month too, keep it up man, you're killin' it!

Thx MediMary! I really appreciate you checking out the thread... Hopefully it was entertaining, if not informative... :character0113:

Thx Sense I. Milla! I really hope this round is gonna be a good yield... So far the stretch is slowing down, but I will have to LST the tallest girls and spread them out a bit; I vegged under the HPS about half a week too long this round... :itwasntme


Shady did you try any Bushmaster or another kelp product to control stretch?
No, I don't have Bushmaster... I've actually been using Mad Farmer's NUTS which is humic and fulvic acids... apparently that is what caused the stretch. Tomorrow's res change will drop the NUTS since it's recommended to stop two weeks after floral sets appear... which would be tomorrow. Hmmm, I've been using FloraBlend as well... :thinking

:giggle Thx brah... Actually the tallest Chem's Sis directly in the center is showing signs of moisture heat stress...

No problem Kid... You're killin' it over there with the Green Lantern test grow! Thx for stopping by... :cool

Sup Bro! The Chem's Sis/D Bx1 and Double Underdawg Bx1 are clones from the seedlings I germinated at the start of Round 3. I started with 4 seedlings of each strain and all 8 ended up being females and different phenotypes. After Round 9 is complete I will only keep Chem's Sis/D #1 and Double Underdawg #3 as these two phenos were the best... After I finish renovation of the Shady Veg Station, I will germinate a few more beans of each strain when I pop a few White D beans from TopDawg Seeds. I'm looking forward to seeing your grow journal as I believe your beans came from the same source... :cool

Shady Updates…

Just a few quick updates before things get real busy in here…

Veg Status…

I’ve been supercropping as usual and experimenting with Cloning at the “Y”… Something I read in Joe Shmoe’s journal a long time ago. Here’s a quick shot of an OG Kush that was cloned at the “Y” and LST’d today (look closely at the base to see the two main shoots). She’s in the FFHF and LW with chunky perlite…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/OGLST.jpg

The next two shots of the Master Kush x Bubba Kush, also in the same medium, and LST’d today as well, but not cloned at the “Y”… Instead she was topped early and supercropped a few times…

http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/MxBLST1.jpg

Now a few shots of my two OGR seedlings from the ebb n’ flow tray… I have been topping off the res and trying to slow them down until I’ve got the space to flip the switch. Alternating nodes have begun after they were topped in the last update… First up is Master Kush x The White

Then there’s the Purple Urkle x The White

Round 8 Update…

Today is Day 21 and I’ve officially ran out of ceiling room… The hood has been attached directly to the ceiling hooks…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/Round80-1.jpg

This gave a little more breathing room at the top canopy…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/Round82-2.jpg

But the tallest girls will be LST’d tomorrow to open up the middle canopy…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/Round81-1.jpg

http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/Round84-2.jpg

Here’s a look at the moisture heat stress on the tallest Chem’s Sis/D #1 clones… I’m 100% positive that this is from the light being too close after several rounds, especially since the left side of her was just outside of the light and is relatively green compared the yellow leaves directly under the HPS… Hmmm, maybe I should invest in a light spreader…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/Round83-2.jpg

Another Chem’s Sis/D #1 clone furthest from the HPS…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Round%20Eight/ChemsSis1.jpg

Tomorrow, I’ll change the res and hit all these girls harder with the bloom nutes and HammerHead.


Round 9 Update…

These are sweet Shady. Im pretty sure we have the same exact stock. The Chemdog's Sister/d are fem seeds if Im correct, but what about the dud? All Chemdog's Sister/d have shown female for me, and Ive found a few dud females, but I dont think ive found a male yet..
