Strains:
Sour D going on its 5th week of Bloom :)
Cannatronic, Mt Cook & brainstorm Haze going on there 3rd week of Bloom today

Story behind the sours: HAD the Mite:wall: spent way to much money trying to get rid of them. no luck. Tried damn near everything I could find online. I gave up and finished my bloom with those bastereds eating away at my babbies :sad:. Enough was enough and I stoped adding plants into bloom and closed it down eventually. Meanwhile in Veg I had a bunch of Sour going without mites. They grew way more than I would have prefered before going into bloom, however they are some monsters now:lol: Mites did make it into my veg room at one point. I had to throw out 5 or so babies that were hit hard and used sns 217 three times a week at 50% ratio to water. gone in a week!!!! stayed on it for a couple more weeks and have not seen them since. Bloom room was cleaned for 2 weeks with bleach and bombs. I was at all out war my friends!!!! and u know what I won. But it was at the cost of many plants and way to much trial and fail with all other products. def try SNS 217 if you have mites just cant use on flowers so pretty much worthless in bloom.

Small issue I am having with the sours is on week 3 some of the plants had a small portion of there leaves begin to curl and "Bear Claw". First I thought overfeeding, but im not seeing any tip burn or other signs like ppm being to high. kinda stumpped. does not seem to be slowing the devlopment of flowers... any ideas what it could be?

Gonna try and keep this going till finish. never done my own post on a site like this and have always wanted to. Hope yall like the set up and would love any suggestions. I have only been growing indoors for a year now so def dont know everything yet. do know a lot tho :lol: been a fun year of reading others grows and just collecting as much info as I can. Enjoy everyone, happy growing and medicating :sleep:

Sexiest Mt Cook went Male on me last night:wall: it happens but it always seems to be my nicest plants. way nature usually works the males will most likely be the strongest and have the most mass. not always tho.

here is a couple pics of the Mt Cook from last harvest. Some of my favorite medicine around :)

It depends what Nutes you use. I use advanced and thats your EC times 700 not 500. I have shown no signs of overfeeding in two runs now. I do however notice that Advanced tells you to put almost double the amount of base nutes needed without being way over on ppm. i think if i run it how they say my ppm is around 1550 obviously i lower it with ro water and have to figure out what to do with all the excess nute water.

Buds are really starting to take shape on the sours on week 6. One of the phenos is showing buds almost two feet in length, hope to see the plump up in the next weeks. Def signs of slight overfeeding so I backed down my ppm to 900. Let you know whats up with them next week, here are some pics from last night.

Mt Cook, Cannatronic & Brainstorm:
Week 3. Just starting to flower up a bit. Hit with a small dose of bushmaster a few days back to stop the stretch and help bush them out some. Looking very healthy, but once again slight signs of overfeeding so I backed down my ppm to 900. Here are the pics from last night.

This is my third run on the sour and every time it curls on me. This is the best I have managed to control her so far. I am thinking that it is something the strain likes to do. What kinda setup did you run your sour on?

Mt Cook, Canna, Brainstorm:

Mt Cook looking great same with brainstorm. all plants our starting to bulk up with nice bud clusters starting. However the Cannatronic is not looking great. One of the is curling pretty bad and the other one is sick. u can just see it. Both Cannas are budding up nice so im just rolling with the punches. not gonna beat my head in the wall over them just hoping for the best. here are some pics.
