Shady, I'm looking to get a tent and I'm curious why you chose Sun Hut over all others?

Shady Preflowers…

Nice on the 3 females bro. How stretchy are the Raskals?

-Supa

Thx Supa... :friday: So far the Raskal OG's have not stretched too much, but then again I've supercropped and topped all the seedlings, not to mention it's been less than a week since the flip.

Shady got some good genes going there my man. Let's see how the ROG & C4 do. I'm sure they're going to be some bad ass plants. Now are those going to be your moms?

Hey there Socachi! Thx for the good karma... :nod All these seedlings are in the bloom room to be flowered. I've cloned their tops, which are now in the Shady Veg Station's 2nd shelf.

Agreed with Socachi. Shady definitely got hell of genetics going.

No doubt HT... :character0053: I'm fishing for phenos!

Yes Shady keep killing it bro we have ur back!!! Great selection dude thats the way to go.

Whaddup TCM! Thx for the kind words and support! It will be nice to see these girls in full bloom... :flower

Shady, I'm looking to get a tent and I'm curious why you chose Sun Hut over all others?

It was given to me and it's actually pretty good quality for a very affordable price... :cool



Shady Preflowers…

Before I begin with Round 5’s preflower update, I’ll get the feeding details out of the way. Yesterday I replaced the clone tray with some fresh nute juice…

The Shady Ebb ‘n Flow tray is starting to look good after last week’s transplanting…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Shady%20Round%205/EnF.jpg

My last feeding of the soil plants in veg was too strong, so yesterday I lowered the PPM’s and omitted SM-90 as I’ve read that it’s not supposed to be used with every feeding…

Shady Veg Feedings…
Summary of Saturday’s Soil Section Feedings... 4/17/10
The resulting teas are as follows in ml/gal:
Veg Station & Mother Tent - CM:4/FB:5/Sweet:0/PBP Grow:8/SM-90:0 = 580 PPM, 6.30 pH


As before, I mixed several buckets to hand water the Shady Bloom Room via drain to waste:

Shady Bloom Feedings…
Summary of Sunday’s Hydro Res Change... 4/17/10
The following amounts are as follows in ml/gal and based upon a 3 gal res (filled w/5 gal of R/O):
Drain to Waste - CM:5/Grow:3/Micro:5/Bloom:7/Zone:0/Sweet:0 = 638 PPM, 5.77 pH *Start of Wk #1

Here’s a quick shot of the Round 5 in transition and lovin’ the HPS…

This is the same Master x Bubba that was posted earlier this week. Pretty soon I’m gonna need a portable A/C…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Shady%20Round%205/MxB.jpg

I didn’t change the MegaGarden’s res since the seedlings are the runts; I figure that they could use the additional N that was in the original mix…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Shady%20Round%205/Round52.jpg

I almost forgot that I transplanted a DUD 3 clone into hydroton. Here it is in the MegaGarden…
http://i858.invalid.com/albums/ab146/ShadyRoundFive/Shady%20Round%205/DUD31.jpg

And here’s the DUD 3 clone in coco for comparison…

Okay, now let’s see the newest confirmed females. Here’s Sensi Skunk #3 displaying a slight Potassium deficiency…

It looks like Raskal’s OG #1 is the 3rd female out of 3 beans…

[winta]

dam healthy and happy lookin as usual my dude! dam chem valley turn into a guy huh? u thinkin of keepin some pollen?

 

[justiceman]

Damn I am liking your leaf blade definition on those plants. Especially that master x bubba. I am excited to see what the bluehellfire x kali mist has to offer.

Ya are you gonna keep some of the CVK pollen? Looks like a pretty sweet male ya know.

I may have asked this before, but sometimes things skip my mind. How do you fill a 3gal rez with 5gal of water?

 

[supasticky]

Damn I didn't even know you were growing the Sensi Skunk! Very nice line up bro.

Thx again for the continued support winta! Initially I was gonna separate any males to the garage for pollen collection, but I'm not sure if I'm still gonna do that... :thinking

Right on bro! I love the Master x Bubba leaves... Most of them are straight with a couple twisted ones from the slight Mg def early on and partially caused by growing into the lights on the Shady Veg Station. :doh

Hmmm, I think you're the first person to finally ask me about my hydro mixes... I'll clarify as this is very important. Here's what I typically write:

"The following amounts are as follows in ml/gal and based upon a 3 gal res (filled w/5 gal of R/O):"​

So I'm actually filling the bucket or res with 5 gal of R/O, but I act as if there is only 3 gal of water in there. So if I say CM:5, that means I use 5 ml/gal of CalMag times 3 gal for 15 ml total. The soil plants are not done this way, so whatever I write there is actual. Having said this, my recent CalMag dosages in hydro have been tested at 200 PPM, which is about 35% lower than the 300+ PPM that 5 ml/gal actually makes (3/5 is 60% strength). Therefore this is a possible reason for the slight Mg and Ca defs... :nerd

Damn I didn't even know you were growing the Sensi Skunk! Very nice line up bro.

-Supa

Thx buddy, but I'm surprised that you missed the lineup... These seedlings are the same 4 strains germinated in my opening post... :itwasntme

 

[Skunkmasterflex]

keepin it gangsta! had to do my once a week check in on ya and see what kinda shady buisness you had goin on in here lol...nice work like always. looks like your almost to your max on strains like me hahaha. hard to keep a tabs on all them sometimes lol;)

 

[Socachi]

Girls are looking real nice Shady. I need to get one of those tents. I was thinking of building one but it too much of a hassle.

I learned that from building what I currently have. If the body wasn't in pain I know it would be a lot easier. Wreckage of the past and getting older; if I could only be Benjamen Button for awhile. :sick0010: LOL

 

[Raiderfan420]

Man those little ladies look so healthy. Really got shit dialed Shady, nice work!

No doubt SMF! Just when I think I've maxed out, I think of a couple more strains I want to grow... :smirk "I did it for the glory."

I know how you feel bro... :thinking Sometimes we gotta do what we can, with what we got...

Man those little ladies look so healthy. Really got shit dialed Shady, nice work!

Always a pleasure when you stroll through bud! :friday:Hopefully I can keep all these diff seedlings happy... including the clones in coco.

It’s only been a week, but I already like coco now… :cool Happy 420!!!

 

[supasticky]

Happy 420 bro! I guess I just forgot about the Sensi Skunk lol I know now though.

This girl is indeed short but shes a stacked little girl. I love her already.

Ah Thanks for clearing that up on the rez dosages. That is some good tek man! I usually just divide the ml's but that is more of a hassle then you have to take 1.25ml doses and such. Your way of putting a normal dose and diluting after is a better way to go about it. Note taken.

 

[M.S.T.]

Hey Shady, just checkin in,everything looks great as usual.

 

[watercooled]

Nice! I'm liking everything except the BALLS in my face! ;-)

 

[winta]

congrats on the female shady! the guys tryin to drop in the party cuz your girls so bad ;)

 

[mikegreenthumb]

are you gonna breed ??

Happy 420 to you and all my fellow farmers! No worries Supa... I'm just giving you a hard time. :tongue0011:

Thx bud! Just to clarify again... I don't dilute after the fact. That's already done by pretending there's less water than what's in the res... :thinking

Hey Shady, just checkin in,everything looks great as usual.

Nice to see you over here my friend! Stay tuned cuz Round 5 is going to get real exciting in the next few weeks... :character0113:

Nice! I'm liking everything except the BALLS in my face! ;-)

:D Hahaa, nobody likes balls in their face...

congrats on the female shady! the guys tryin to drop in the party cuz your girls so bad ;)

Thx winta! I guess I'm selfish and want all these girls to myself... :character0111:

are you gonna breed ??

Nah, I don't have the space to run hundreds of beans to sift through phenotypes, but I will toss a bit of pollen here and there... :itwasntme

[mikegreenthumb]

i dont have hella room either what i like to do is take a given male that i like the traits of then sprinkle three or so females that i like the pheno from if they are seed or just one female if from clone then i harvest those seeds start maybe 100 - 200 on 12 12 from seed kill all males then flower the remaining females a bit longer till they really start showing characteristics kill off all but a few of the fems i really like keep as many of those i have space for as mothers when im ready to breen again i use one of those clones for the female works pretty good at saving space and getting good/desired genetics

 

[Skunkmasterflex]

pretty crazy ratio with the ROG. i had 2/3 females so i guess the Raskal Og has a great female ratio or we got lucky with those hahaha. they are fire btw. te=hey stink like a mofo.

 

[LEBDOG]

This is your 10,001th view of this thread I noticed

Congratulations, the next one will be at 100,000!

I have read a few posts here by people who certainly enjoy balls in their face, just to be clear. Then I have read a few posts here by people who could use a set in their face... Just my 2 cents...
