DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

they are praying to the HID gods.

everything looks a azing D, and your photography is on point. i had so many good comments for you in my head but i dont feel like typing them. So all imma say is keep it up D!

also- have any of your DOG come out with the less indica looking leaves like mine?

page bump in order...

Good morning all, hope you enjoy my Saturday update. No big stories just pics with explanations.

Hayduke: Sorry to miss your Q, the DE is working great with the Silverfish...slowly reducing in numbers in general. I had some great fun with my salt shaker DE jar and a silverfish that was trapped in the bad (that was meant to be Bath...but hey, Bad in Dutch is Bath)...yes I am weird, punishing insects!

Enjoy (in no order sorry, just as they were uploaded):

Oscar side shot top cola - I've just been looking at some of the outdoor gardens in California...sheesh, the difference is just not true...shitty North European summer, so much for global warming.


Cali Orang Headband cross cloned from the outdoor girl.


One of my DOG kush

DOG Pound


Half of my greenhouse, Leeks at the front, with a Spanish pepper, that got done by aphides, but is still producing a few small peppers. Cherry toms been producing great. Then you know who at the back


The 3 BX2 cheese clones under the net


Top cola of the Cali Orange Headband...up to around 7 foot now.

Side cola of the Cali Orange Headband cross


And a shot of her from below


OG Kush (I hope - i got some seeds mixed in that bag before - I am praying!!) Looks very like the OG. Need this to be the OG since I lost my clones from the last lot...won't go into that again....


Shot of the floor: Bx2 screen at the back, some DOGs and an Oscar clone at the front right side


A small lemon tree


The Puppy for the 600 grow


Left to Right: Cali OrangexHB, then 2 DPQ's

DPQ top

DPQ side

DPQ's together



Strawberries still flowering: Might get 2 or 3 more, hahaha




Happy Headbands


This is a seed I got from my Blackjack, not sure if it will be straight Blackjack or will have something of the Headband in it (which seems to have been sticking its strange genetics into a lot of thing, hoho.)


I quite liked this shot, looks almost darkish (it's not, believe me!)


Cola from Oscar


Lettuce and parsley: BTW, everything I grow in my greenhouse is generally grown in recycled coco from my MJ girls.


Oscr clone mark II


Looks like i am getting a bit of bud rot on my Happy Headbands outside...just on this bud though...think I'll just snip it off and start praying...I am not even religious but I am doing lots of praying at the moment.


Another cola (without any rot)


Hold on, someone stole all my plants......oh no, that bit's still empty!!! hopefully not for long.


BX2 Cheese screen


Thelma seed MarkI


And that is for the update. Comments, questions, remarks are welcome.

Peace out,

DST

I enjoyed the trip thru your lovely, healthy garden. Your hard work is easily visable thru your wonderful pictures. Thanks for the tour.


cof

What a great update D...Everything ship shape lad!!!!

Thanks cof, Hemlock, it's getting there. Just need to do some exterminating first.

everything looks a azing D, and your photography is on point. i had so many good comments for you in my head but i dont feel like typing them. So all imma say is keep it up D!

also- have any of your DOG come out with the less indica looking leaves like mine?

thanks T. They are all looking fairly indica kush like. I was looking at what I think is the og kush and that has fairly long indica leaves....I wonder if htats where it comes from.

Dinners on the bubble.. laters.

Subbed - have seen you over in Integra's journal and only through sheer dumb luck am I just now stumbling upon this journal.

Tagged for future reading in a week or two when I actually have a second to breathe - very nice setup, though.

Hi Agent Green Eyes, thanks for the visit. It's truelly amazing what these little beauties can grow up into. You should check out some of the outdoor grows in the USA, just jaw dropping. As long as it gives me a smoke I'll be happy though!

woohooo!! looking awesome DST!

Hey Dr G, just love those smillies!! Hows your 3 month flowering strain coming along?

Honour to have you over here Bob, glad you found the spot....I am sure you'll find some crazy reading to keep you amused for a few mins, haha.

Nothing much to report today apart from fog!!! Well, just a few things to say.....

I clipped off the bit of bud that I thought was looking moldy in the greenhouse. Snipped a few clones for the collection and gave everyone a nice water and feed.
On another note, I totally gutted out my greenhouse, gave it a clean and wiped all the shelfing etc down....soil and coco gets everywhere as you all know. And some of the windows were looking very mucky. (my wife cleaned all our apartment windows so I felt like I should be doing something...while I was walking around like Andy Cap with a spliff attached to my bottom lip and she was scrubbing away.) We've had real problems with Spint (not sure waht it's called in English) this is like a little bug that destroys plants like cucumbers. The leaves go greenish, have like a yellowy orange tinge to some spots, and around the edges there is like a sort of silk web...bloody 'orrible stuff. Also destroys things like pumkins, squashes etc....oh it's been fun I can tell ya! We have still managed to get some cucumbers this year so happy with that. Bugger all squash though, started a bit late.

Got a 1 years olds birthday party to got to today so I better start getting stoned now!! Maybe a space cookie will help me get through that.

Laters people.

[las fingerez]

enjoy ur cookie looking nice out side D, wonder why mine dont look as far gone as urs?

 

[Hemlock]

Good Morning DST,

I was wondering what you start you seed plants at (PPM's) and how you progress..
I have a bit of yellow on my under leaves of my new Pinapple express mothers they are about two months but I can seem to get rid of the yellow.
I have flushed and am currently at 400 ppm. Your seem very green and lush for such young plants.
Off for rub and a Tug...LOL

Hey fingerez, I was thinking mine are a bit behind...not long in the season now!....

I don't measure ppm's. My regime is to start seed in starter seed/clone mix which has a npk of 14-16-18, then water with rhizotonic 0.6 - 0.2 - 0.6 npk for the first week or two. Then transplant into coco and proceed as normal. Nothing special mate. My soil is active already, are you in coco or soil Hemlock? Perhaps you need to tweak the medium for the strain. I have found some cocos for example retain a bit too much water. Is it just with the PE? Perhaps its a micro nutrient thing? which is then mistaken for lack of N. You got a pic on your thread?

EDIT: Just read my reply, you ask me a question, I ask you 10 back...duh.

Oh and im so glad you said this! Got made to feel like a n00b ( but then again i suppose i am anyway )cos i didnt care to know mine or show any interest in getting a meter lol- dont think mother nature has got a ppm machine and they dont seem to suffer naturally as a result lol

 

[ZEN MASTER]

My, my, my....we been busy sticking our green thumb where ever it fits, haven't we. Man definite ++++. excellent re-use of the coco btw. i would definitely like to build me a greenhouse, but in my neighborhood nothing would make it to maturity. evrything would get jacked.so i regulated to one room, one item.........but i really like my option, you know. but, as i was saying very nice, very nice indeed.



PEACE!!!

whatever you feel comfortable with, Agent! just cause someone else say's it's necessary...whatever, justs mean they don't have an eye for treating their own plants!!!

Peace out, DST

Dinners on the go and I am having to attend a housing committee meeting in a short while, god that will not be fun.

Anyway, the shite topic of tonights update is bud rot. Bloody weather has got to my plants at last. I have not been out to see the guerilla girls but I can't imagine how they will be.

Some pics, will label as I go along if they are not obvious I guess...





Casey Jones


Cola with the top cut off

Amputated cola

And another





Thats that then. Off for dinner.

[mr west]

Loking yummy as always mate. Picture of helth now after the trim lol. Its in the 8th week now and the pm is really hitting hard i dunt wanna spray sillinal cuz of rot i dunt know wot to do really, itd be a shame to chop em all early lol twos enough.

 

[Hemlock]

are you in coco or soil Hemlock? Perhaps you need to tweak the medium for the strain. I have found some cocos for example retain a bit too much water. Is it just with the PE? Perhaps its a micro nutrient thing? which is then mistaken for lack of N. You got a pic on your thread?

Hey D
Using Perlite 60% Hydron 40% and coco Phase 1 20%
Will post some pic in my thread tonight..
Thanks for all your help.
BTW Fuckin plants of yours look AWSOME...
Great Job

Well I cant see the water retention being an issue. I think that's a pretty dam good mix. I just go 95% coco and a few other bits and bob if I got em to hand.
I reckon if it is a micro nutrient thing then, it could be something like this:
Molybdenum (Mo)
•Symptoms: Older leaves yellow, remaining foliage turns light green. Leaves can become narrow and distorted.
•Sources: Compounds containing the words 'molybdate' or 'molybdic'.
•Notes: Sometimes confused with nitrogen

However these are younlings we are talkin about, so maybe they need more food, from seed some plants can be greedy little fuks!

thanks for the nice words as always, will be back at the weekend with an update.

Laters,

DST

p.s my good wife will be looking after my ladies for a few days, this is her fisrt ever time venturing into my room so this should be interesting....hehe.

 

[mr west]

the younguns also outgrow the small pots quite quickly too and root bound looks alot like N diff

 

[Integra21]

That closet is going nuts D. Going to be a hell of a run. Any luck with the late bloomers poping their heads out, or did they just not germinate?
