//Come on guys, chill. UC your a very smart guy bro, but I've seen some of your coments and some are out of proportion, I'm sure your intentions arent to hurt anyone, but they put people down, you humiliate them. I know this isnt none of my business, but I felt I needed to say something. I plan to start a UC System myself, and the first person I plan to ask for advice was you bro!

//When I ask you for advice I would want you to be honest like you have been, but I'm sure you can choose better words in your answers that wont offend anyone! I truly hope one day I can have as much knowledge as you one day, so I can help people out.

Hey, at least your happy now, good to see you sporting smiley faces. ;)

Looks like in the virtual world you're really coming up, congrats. Apparently some of your fellow farmers enjoy your rants, maybe an AM morning show is in your future?

Squash it shorty while you're feeling on top.

I can squash your whole family with my E-PEEN so watch it buddy.

Talking smack is fun but was not the point of me starting a thread. Telling me my grow got f'cked up does not take a rocket scientist to figure out. Now suggestions to help me become a better grower hells yeah bring em. Which is why most of us are here to learn from each others successes and mistakes.

Night before the Flip

back to it. so the good the aphid droop on the infected girl is pretty much gone. gonna give em botanigard weeky in case there are in stragglers alive.

the bad is my res room is too freaking hot and my res is getting up to 76.

so room temps is in the 80's...leaf temps 78-81 from my laser gun. humidy 45-50. need to up my feedings. round 2 1/2gallons each a day and maybe a cup of runoff.

I set my bottom trays to be hempy style if I want so might have to be turning the lower drain valve closed if I need the extra water.

So I got 3 bubba kush 2 plat og and 1 either super lemon haze or cataract kush

I would like to let em go another 4-6"s taller but I don't know how they are gonna stretch....so not try to overgrow myself.

root patches poping out of the smart pots all over the place.

//Dont know if you already posted the nute's your using, but whats your ppm's, the plants are still in veg right?

 

[L-Immortal]

would love to see those root patches come 8-9 weeks of flower. Im sure it will be out of control. Awesome job

 

[BCrocker]

[Donkdbz]

Day 5

The girl who had root aphids top shoots leaves still a lil droopy. If there is any of em left they are gonna there new fungal friend Beauveria bassiana. Gonna do a drench on lights out once every few days till I feel happy.

upskirt shot nodes staying pretty nice so far

 

[Rugerbaby]

[Confuten1]

[mango420]

Looking killer there Donk! im just starting trees in coco as well as coco/perlite mix. There going in 20 and 25 gallon totes with 24k around 24. Hope mine get as big as yours!! Good luck man!

 

[Papa]

Damn bro. looks amazing up in there:joint:

I had root aphids before over a year ago in smartpots. they are not that bad if you catch em in time.

the bayer I used was complete insect killer. the cyfluthrin kills the lil effers on contact and the imaclorid should get the rest. I watched em die.

I got some Botanigard es on the way. I will use weekly through flower to get the rest. I did a root inspection and not looking to bad.

3-4k around each girl
20 gallon smartpots with 80% perlite 20% coco
got silica blast, roots excel, bioroots and enzymes in my res. trying the roots excel/bioroots combo after ready highbreeds thread.

my veg time round going into week 9

here is my blue dream from last run she was sick going into flower cause yanked from a Undercrap system(long story)

1lb 4oz she finished around 40"s tall and 32"s wide ( I think)

I am used to sativa dom plants in vert and am nervious with kushes

Do all of your plants yellow that much?

 

[BCrocker]

can you give me an outline how to shape your plants like this? Do you top mutiple times? How long veg? Do you pinch/top the secondaries as well?

 

[Donkdbz]

yellow yes...but I did not mean for her sugar leaves to die off. I cut her N down way too soon. probable cost me 1/4lb for being a lazy ass.

she was the hog of the group and I did not want to make a separate res just for her. my group of girls that run was totally unmatched.

Um well if your refering to the blue dream in the post above...I saw your other post where you said 3.5' feet between each light.

The blue dream ended up being a cylinder. which imo sucks ass for vert 1000's because you get this wall of bud and the light does not go past. double stacked 600's would be way better.

if you are refering to the others. my goal was pyramids. creating a stadium vs a coliseum tree. if you look at DD's monster they look more stadium style. while heath does the coliseum style.

um cindy goo is yummy

ok well I forgot what I did for the blue gream but for my current run. Vegged flat till 2 foot tall 18"+wide. Then I fimmed all the main branches let recover for a few days then switched to vertical lighting.

veg time .... I decided keeping track is gonna get me to anxious to wanna flip em to soon.

 

[Donkdbz]

Dizzles got the eye for trees. I went 6 more days per his suggestion. This being my 3rd tree run. Still learning to predict the stretch myself.

Right at lights on Day 10.

They are filling the gaps in between nicely

here is my runt

chopped to much off her backside

 

[Donkdbz]

Forgot to add earlier I dropped the Bioroots before I flipped. It did not combine well with hygrozyme. The PH on my res would go up almost a full point a day. I figure the hygrozyme was doing its job and breaking down the organics from Bioroots.
