2nd personal grow - pics - trainwreck, pineapple express, etc.
- Thread starter dbo24242
- Start date
I haven't updated in a while. Heres whats gone down.
Plants moved around a bit to another location and back now, upgraded air pump, made more rubbermaids, ditched the 5 gal bucket dwc, took a lot of clones, and began flowering under the 1,000w cooltube setup.
Bought a mylar lined tent 20x36x60 that will be used for clones and veg and with a 1,000w flowering area this will hopefully become a perpetual grow.
I plan on driving my setup using maxi grow and bloom, epsom salt, and the remainder of my Technaflora but hopefully I can keep it that cheap and give it a good flush at the end for good results. After several months I may have enough bud to last me a few years.
Maybe I'll get some more pics going on later tonight / tomorrow (flowering 12am-12pm).

well I found that cooltube on auctions for cheap at $80 shipped.
otherwise go to salvation army or good will and look in the glasswares for candle covers, bread tubes, or even a kerosene lamp cover would work for a 400w if you get the right sort of adhesive.

Wuddup man,
Plants look extremely lush and beautiful dude. They look like theyre gonna stretch out a bit still, so make sure you clear out enough headroom for them to do their thing. Unless your gonna keep them tied down for the duration, or even just keep supercropping, that'd work fairly well too.
At any rate man, +rep, your growin like your learning really fast about what your doing. Cant wait to see what you end up doin with your 3rd n 4th grows, lol. Addictive, isnt it??

I ended up just buying gh floramicro since all I ran out of was the bc boost. I may switch to dry later, but 3 part seems like a wiser choice to me. Koolbloom however seems promising for fattening up buds in the last 2 weeks. I'll probably get some of that.
K1 and proto, thanks for tuning in.

I use Koolbloom the first 5-6 weeks of flower, then switch to AN Overdrive, for a 2-3 week ripening phase, when I switch to Overdrive, they explode with more bud density than you could imagine!! I used it my last 2 grows and I wasn't sure bloom boosters were all that they say they are, as some people blast them as a waste of $, but I tried it and I finally got those thick, dense buds you see on other grows! protopipe1
approximate dates -
5-20 seeds planted
6-20 flowering begins
7-05 today, started PK 13/14
7-20 4 weeks flowering - ppm boost to 1300
7-27 6 weeks flowering - ppm boost to 1500
8-20 8 weeks flowering - 56 days, approximate harvest time for pineapple express and trainwreck. flushing will begin when trichs begin turning from cloudy to amber.
9-20 12 weeks flowering - 84 days flowering, all plants should be done by this time.

Captains log - I've been seperated from the girls for the last 2 days, will return to them in around 20 hours. upon arrival I will add water and PK to the reservoir and try to maintain a 1,000ppm solution.
In the process of acquiring a taller grow tent to accomodate their height. I should have flowered earlier or cut more clones but I sort of let em get out of hand... might try to acquire a discount 'demo' tent from the hydro shop if I can talk em into it.
Becoming more convinced of the effectiveness of 'bioboost' or 'sugardaddy' type supplements (like molasses, but with more useful stuff), and considering dropping some dollars on it.
My reservoirs at this stage of flowering contain somewhere around 10ml/gal of GHFloraMicro, some technaflora flowering nutrients, and low concentrations of PK 13/14. After my next reservoir change (this weekend at latest) I will be running approximately 10ml/gal Micro, and maybe around 8ml/gal of canna pk.
The girls were looking nice when I left, and trichs were starting to boom on skunkberries, I am pretty excited to return tomorrow and see where they are at now, I adjusted the lights before I left so as to avoid burning the shit out of the plants in the cramped space, I can't wait to remedy that situation though.
