DillWeed's 2009 fall grow journal: BLUEBERRY, VIOLATOR KUSH, SENSI STAR and more...

Dill! I owe you man, I used your exhaust setup(the trash can idea) for my AC so now I am FINALLY able to run 2 tents at the same time and keep them cool! Great DIY setup, I love following your journals! Keep it up brother!

I specifically said "No newb questions" long ago. This isn't the newb forum, this is my private journal. I am not required to answer any questions at all but I do answer all questions that aren't one of the following:

1- A newb question...

2- A question that's been asked and answered multiple times in the same thread it has been asked in...

3- A combination of numbers 1 and 2, which are the worst types of questions...

This is an intermediate level indoor grow journal where the sole purpose is to show those who already grasp the concept of indoor growing how to expand to a larger setup. It's not my fault if you can't grasp that simple concept and/or lack the initiative to read my last journal in its entirety. If you read my last journal (just my posts) from beginning to end it should take you no longer than 90 minutes or so. And remember, you don't have to read it all in one sitting. If you are too lazy to put 90 minutes into researching how to grow this sacred plant then you are never going to get the results that myself and many others on this fine forum who have put hundreds of hours into researching and growing cannabis have. The truth may hurt, but it shall set you free.

Awesome post Dill, took the words right out of my mouth. Too many people around here lately still have to have their asses wiped by their mommy.

I'll agree with that. When I first started out growing I took responsibility to learn myself. Buy some books and do some research. Newbs need to realize that growing information should only be given out based on the level they they are at. Never ask an experience grower something that you can google search or could have found out by asking another newb. I feel that a grower is allowed information only once they can share information as well.

Thanks, guys! I just gave +rep to the last several posts. I also took four cuttings from each plants today (16 x 4 = 64 clones) so I am tired! I'll snap a few pics of them in a few days when they come out of the humidity chamber, aka my spare room with two humidifiers running, haha! I also set the lights to 12/12 so flowering has officially begun. I love growing.

Do you love growing more than smoking though?

Im in the growing camp. I haven't smoked any weed in probably 4 months. I dont like spending money for it heh.

I guess I got it from my dad. He's always loved plants. In fact I just gave him 3 seeds on thanksgiving to grow. He wont end up flowering them as he really only can just veg them at this time. Ill have to convince him to set up a flower chamber in a month or two.

He doesn't even smoke it!

Great Grow Dill once again. Its amazing how fast these guys really take off. I have been following every grow you do I really like how clean the set up is. Easy and efficient. i will be around again for this one. Good work

I sit around here in the bushes and take in all you have to say.... put alot of it to use, too. thanks, dill. got some questions, but will wait 'til the time is right. nice, wayyy nice pics dude

I'm with ya man, i still smoke, but a half ounce will last me 6 weeks. I love growing so much i got a CFL rubbermaid cab just for growing strawberries and fresh herbs, get enough basil and rosemary going and you can almost drown out the smell of flowering ganja. Gonna try some DWC tomatoes soon i think. Hopefully I can have my masters in Botany finished before i turn 40 .

Ok...so I'm a newb. I'm also scared to ask this question after reading the last few pages!

Let me brown nose you a bit. I really admire your journals. They're very well done and extremely informative. Thanks for taking the time to document your process. I hope to have a fraction of your success on my first grow.

Right now I just started to crack the seeds using the paper towel method. Hopefully they'll be ready for cups tomorrow, and I'll be trying to do exactly what you've taught me.

I'm going to attempt AK-47 and White Russian, both Autoflower. Eventually, they'll end up in 2 gal bags. I've got the FF big 3 nutes and I'll be following your schedule with the nutes.

The one thing that I could not find in your journal, (and please forgive me if this has been asked. I looked twice before typing this), is your quantity of the Big Bloom on the seedlings.

From your 2009 summer journal:
----------

Day 19:
June 20, 2009

So, I repotted my plants in 2 gallon pots today along with giving them their first taste of nutes. I used 7 gallons of water (ph down to 6.5) with one teaspoon of Fox Farms Grow Big and one tablespoon of Fox Farms Big Bloom per gallon.
-----------------------

This said, can I assume that you did not use the Big Bloom (as per the FF feeding schedule) on your seedlings and you let the soil and clean water do the work for the first 2 1/2 weeks?

I guess I'm just a bit nervous to fry my seedlings on my first go if I hit them with 2Tbl/Gal of the Big Bloom as soon as they pop the soil. Which is what the FF schedule says to do.

Thanks again Dill. I appreciate your input. (and I sincerely apologize if i missed the answer in a previous post).

I can't answer for Dill, but I use FF myself so I can give you some input. BB is extremely mild, and you can start out with 1/2 strength on 7-10 day old seedlings without burning them. After that, I move up to full strength without any problems.

Whether you start that early with any nutes depends on your medium. If you're using a pre-nuted medium ala FF Ocean Forest, you wont start out until at least 3 weeks old. Now if your in Coco, or Peat-moss or any other medium without nutes you'd start quite a bit sooner.

still here followin just checkin in

Thanks for that Dave. Exactly what I was looking for....now back to Dill's Journal!!

Pics coming today and man have they grown. I'll also take a few shots of the clones for you guys too. It looks like all 64 clones have survived and are starting to root.

Praise JaH! some coming action!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!
