Growitup Greenhouse 2011

pipe looks real nice. have you not heard though? you must've bought that from a LEO agent bro just joking, I take it you have seen all the shit being posted in kitties thread?

Don't tell me you fell for that.
look at the date man. April 1st

lol, na man. I was referring to that Roland fella going off on one like something outta CSI!

LOL yeah, some people watch to much TV.
I left a comment.

OK, I chopped the Master Kush, Started the Mazar, drilled some holes and got the pots ready for the girls.

Damn, this is gonna be a long post...

Trichs not as ripe as I would like but she has gone ten weeks.
I'm gonna hang the whole plant till its dry.



Remember those extra plants I had in the cab a couple months ago?
Couple silver jack and a head band I gave to my buddy, well these are those.
Flowered outdoors no supplemental lighting in cali winter. He brought em over to dry.






I bet she's about 3 oz's


These seeds are a couple years old. I hope they are still good.
I'm using that foam stuff I got those clones in last winter. Soaked them for a couple hours then dropped them in the holes and covered them up.







See the three in the center of the water? I bet those are female.
It just seem like the best looking seeds always gravitate to the center of the water.








Opened it up a bit, I was gong to cut the section out but the blade was too long so I cut a bunch of holes and I plan on screening them.






Soil amended and ready, I mixed about half of the old soil with black gold and FF, put in a couple shovels full of coco and added some seabird quano then added a gallon of water mixed with fish emulsion.









I got enough of the old soil to top them off when I transplant.
This way the best stuff is right under the root ball.

Here are the girls. Just in time too. The TD's have out grown the pots they are in.






Im going to let it sit until tomorrow then transplant.

master kush looks BOMB man. Bet she smokes reallll nice as well. Think you should take a leave the entire cola intact and get a pic of that, it is huge cruz!

Those TD are gonna blow up after the transplant, cant wait!

Sure man, will do. Never grew a single cola like that. Probably be about a week then I'll separate it.
Yeah I think the girls are going to like their new home. I bet they double in size in a month. It's gonna be awesome.

That train wreck and Bubba Kush are not doing to bad either. May just move them all out there.

'sup Cruzer!

Your greenhouse is great! I have a similar one put it's attached to the side of my house for passive solar. I noticed you have an AC. Is it not sized correctly? Is that why you decided to add a roof vent? I've not grown in my greenhouse due to security issues. Does it look like a ufo landing when you have the supplemental light moving on that rail? What are you doing about smell?

Best of luck with the Mazar i had 5 but none of them germed, i hope yours are better would like to see how they grow.

Hi rosecity, Welcome to my grow.
Thanks man, I put a lot of work into it and keep tweaking on it. Its a lot of fun. That A/C works, I was using it in a spare room in my house but yeah, its just not powerful enough to cool the area by itself. I think its 5000 btu and I would need at least 8 probably 10 so rather then the expense of a new one and the added cost to the utility bill I am gonna try venting some and run it on real hot days. That 600 really does light up the area, I put blinders on the sides with reflective material so it dont shine in the neighbors yard but the ambient light still lights up my patio. Smell was an issue last year. I bought a scrubber and 700 cfm vortex fan installed it a month ago that runs along with the intake (1650 cfm)





Hopefully that will reduce the smell some. I may try an ozone generator if it doesn't work well enough.

Sorry to hear that 3eyes, well this will be my third time with the strain. Over nuted the first one and killed it a couple years ago then the second time she flowered early and wouldn't reveg. Third times a charm I guess.

I got the Tangerine Dream out there today.
We got a cloudy day and partly cloudy tomorrow so I think its the best time for them.



They are still in there pots. Just in case they dont respond well I can move them back but I doubt it.







If they look fine tomorrow I'll transplant. Gonna go ahead and run the light all day today then just from 6 to 8pm for the rest of the month.

Well hell I always wait for u to post on the TD fan club page. I could have been following this all along?!? I feel like an idiot, oh well rough day.....n sub'd now so I don't miss anything! Great journal Cruzer girls look lovely as always And thanks again for all your help.

Some great updates cruzer!! I think you may be right on that 3 oz, but it could go to 4. Still a great plant

What size are those pots your moving the girls to? Are they 10g smartpots?

Looking good cruzer.

Ya know me but this time I think I'm gonna be pretty close. Yeah, shes was a looker alright. Didn't smell much, we'll see how she smokes.

Yep, 10 gallon. Same ones I used last year. I'm actually going with 10 gallon because they are 16" around and thats the size of two bricks.
Once I decide where they are going to go for good I remove the brick and set the smart pot on sand to keep the roots cooler. It's the perfect size

Right on man! Lets see if I can keep the roof on this year.
I'll check out your thread.

So yesterday afternoon they looked fine so I transplanted.
This morning I was gonna take a pic but accidently started a video so I did one of those.

Then here are a couple pics for people with shitty connections.













I got a little issue with one plant, the new soil will probably fix it but any ideas?

HI Cruzer, Your plants look wonderful. I really like those super big smartpots that you have them in. I have one of my plants, an auto blue in one. It seems to work well. I thought that the roots were going to grow out the sides of them, but nothing so far. Have you been using them very long? The leaf damage might be a cal mag def just from my limitied knowledge of a similar problem i had recently. I usually just use the JC bible and try to match up the leaf problem with what is pictured in there. Good luck with that.
I think you are the first grower on this forum that i have seen growing the TD. Nice, it won the cannabis cup this past year didnt it. I have yet to see it in any local dispensary but would love a chance to try it out. what is it like?
Peace
amber

Hi Amber, Yeah I used these for the first time last year and was waiting for roots to pop out the side's too but they never did. They came out the bottom a little but most of the roots are real tiny from the air pruning.

Thanks for taking the time and checking your bible, I lost mine when my computer crashed. Thats what it looked like to me but its always good to get others opinions.

Yes, Tangerine Dream did win the cannabis club award last year. Thats why I chose it for this year. Actually I haven't found any either but then again I don't go to the clubs much. I'm pretty well stocked at this point.

i will take some pictures of those pages for you Cruzer , tonight, and post them for you tommorrow, to look at so you can judge for yourself. and have them handy incase anything else pops up..
Take care
peace
amber
