Crimea Blue 2nd Grow.

i hear ya man, i just cant see changing pots if your doin a small 2 pot grow like mine, germ them and then into the final pots they go, and i am using my own home made gravity fed drip system, works pretty good too.

still haven't gotten my ph problems straight. I don't think i have at least ..but the girls look ... great.. so far .. my pix are a bit mixed up and i took them in a hurry so the quality sucks .. but you can maybe see which one has the best genetics..
I also felt the need to plant more ..so i sprouted 2 Sweet seeds Cream Caramel.
I'm thinking i'll move them to another room when i flower the crimea and let them veg for a bit...
also added pix of basil ..lol
LA Woman is doing great getting big now
The LST is doing fucking great ..i have a bunch of tops already and have the stem bent into a moon shape... so far.
I plan on repotting in a week or so and vegging them for another week until they take to their final home.
They're about 6-7 inches now tied down .... i'm guessing I'll veg when they get to be about 10 or a foot.
Can any one estimate how big you think they'll get during flower ..
... I know they double or triple in size but what do you think my final height will be if vegged to 10-12 inches??

well fuck me .... i have a ph problem with my L.A. woman.. all plants actually
I'm going in with Ph'd water at 7 coming out at 5 ... after flush
Do i really need to dump ten gallons of water into these little ass pots to get the ph back to normal ..or is there something i'm missing using the Happy Frog

you'll go about 24-28 when done. you could try top dressing your soil with garden lime. About a tsp of lime per gal of soil. 3 to 1 on the flush.

dam bro, hope you get that figired out, they look good tho.

I hope so too ... I did a test the other day i forgot to mention..
Got a cup.. threw my Happy Frog in there .. cut a drainage hole ...and watered with non Ph tap.. over 8
the water still came out at 5. how the fuck does that happen.
I paid a visit to my local hydro store and picked up a huge bag of Roots Organic.
This to me is a huge switch since I've used nothing but Jiffy mix and Happy Frog before.. but i cant wait to repot them with this new soil, and hopefully get rid of these fucking Ph problems ... It's killing me to see my babies sick
I'm going to continue with the FF liquid nutes with the Roots.. oh and
got some 9x9 inch pots which will be my girls final home ... I'm just hoping it will be enough for them ...I've tried to research and even asked my local hydro guy and he wasn't sure of the volume...
im guessing they're about 2 gallons.. that was my only choice btw..=
If i would've gotten a 12x12 it wouldn't have fit properly in my tent .. I enjoy smaller pots a bit more i think... it's way easier for me to not overwater.
maybe my mind will change tomorrow..lol
so i'll be repotting sooner than later.

so i said fuck my ph issues and repotted two Crimea today .... the one with the best genetics and another with less issues ... I may try to repot the other two today or tomorrow .. I didn't have enough water sitting out to do all four at once (wasn't planning on doing it) so i now they're growing in Roots Organic now.
I repotted using full strenght FF BB 2 tblspn and 1/2 tspn GB, also a tblspn of molasses and 1/4 teaspoon of superthrive
LST'd them a little more ...
..as long as my ph problems end here it looks like they're gonna be BUSHY girls.. can't wait to flower once they stabilize and form a few more tops
... HOW LONG TO VEG BEFORE CLONING BTW...
two months???

ok it's been a while since i've posted pics ... repotted all the Crimea to 9x9 inch pots. Out of three, two are doing great and bounced back from most of the Ph problems. One as you will see.. not so good..( i also FIM'd this one) the smaller pot is my L.A. Woman wHich has yet to take off in veg and also suffered from Ph issues... All plants are LST'D
party cups are Cream Caramel.
I think part of my issues here is that they are all UNDER FED. I have gone a bit too easy on nutes.
These poor plants have yet to stay on a consistent feed schedule because of my ph issues.
The Crimea were all switched from FF Happy Frog to Roots Organic.
The L.A. Woman is still in HF
The Cream Caramel were started in Roots.
I will be flowering two Crimea soon since it's been about a month from seed. One I want to keep as a mother. Still have cloning questions. Any comments or questions or advice is welcomed

sorry about that forgive the bad photography btw

I've attached more pics of how the plants look today... 9 pics three plants.
the first three are one Crimea
the second three are of another Crimea
the last three are of L.A. Woman. she's bouncing back from a bad bought of ph issues .. they all were actually except one ... you can see.
I plan on flowering any day now....
Any opinions, questions, tips, comments WELCOMED!!!

L.A is coming along slowly but surely ...thanks bro.

these girls are so dying to flower but i have yet to take clones from some of them. I have a timer now and i'm still on 24/0 into almost a two months veg. They are going to grow well. I'm so pissed i don't have an hid.... i thing i would get a great fucking yeild. I have to set up a separate space for mothers...
so about cloning... i can get olivia or cheap stuff from hd. schultz has it and another company.. powders. should i just get that shit now .. or wait and get some olivia's gel??

Haven't posted in a while .... i switched over to 12/12 about two weeks ago. I think they're looking ok, except for the fact that I need MORE LIGHT!!!! I also took clones of all of them .. i have three more crimea and an LA Woman vegging. My Cream Caramel were practically dead. but i showed them some love and they're boucing back lovely.
The single plant pics from left to right are 1. Crimea 2. LA Woman. 3-4. Crimea. I still have em tied down. If anyone is paying attention

dam, them girls are looking sweet!!

Hey I got crimea blue also there 4 weeks old I want to clone. Can I clone the fan leaves? Or any leaves. The ones that grew first. The plants are about 8 inches long. I really want to start to clone. What yall think?

I just started cloning but .. I would say you're good to start take cuttings from it. I actually cloned way late. About a week into flowering. but it took!!! i got 5 outta 8 so far. I cloned a branch but that's coming along slow. I've seen people trying to clone fan leaves. I'm sure it works but i bet its harder.. give it a try. But if you're gonna clone you're best taking a whole branch or top of a branch instead of just leaves fpr best results. Do it up!! I thougt it was rocket science but it's only cutting off some pieces, dipping them, and keeping an eye on em. easy shit man! where's your crimea. Got pics?

Whats up, long time no-see lol. First of all let me congratulate you on your will and determination, this has been a great recovery from a troubled start, and now most all your upper and new growth looks great. So you should be alright from here on out, i wish i would have found you earlier because your leaf trouble was definitely PH related, ive had the same symptoms low PH of around 4-4.5 or so and the same results. Are you checking the PH of your nute solution after its mixed in other words dont worry so much about the water coming out of your sink, nutrients themselves will lower your PH big time my water comes out of my sink at 7.2 or so i dont PH it until ive added all my nutes to it before PH'ing the solution reads 3.5-4.5 way to low i then PH it up to 6.5 and feed. If im going to just feed plain water i feed it the straight 7.2 water to try and keep the balance above the 5.5 or so margin because your PH is going to lower more the longer your grow continues with certain nutes, im not sure what you are using but just thought id shoot this at you to help you out..other then that they do look really well now great job..im sub'ed, + rep for the recovery...Peace

Hey ataixa hows everything going? Whats up with some pics?

I was just saying that today to my gf. I'll post some tomorrow. The buds have swelled up nice so far. The main cola of both the Crimea and LA are FAT! ... my opinion though.. I don't think that LST is the best way to grow crimea... It seems to have the potental for a huge main cola. With the lst i did i have a fat top but alot of that energy went to the other bud sites ( which are still pretty nice). doesn't smell very much at all. rubbing the stem you get your basic blueberry scent. the LA. different more skunky scent. My next journal will be of the Cream Caramel seeds i have vegging. They smell fucking fantastic!! very sweet, citrus smell that i can just tell is going to get better once i flower them.. But thanks for keeping up man!!!! I'll have some pics for ya in the morning.
How about you don??? what's up with your pics? got any yet??
If you haven't grown em yet. The Crimea seem to be light feeders. imo. I think i underfed them a bit actually but the leaves on them come out very thin and light. I could only imagine that if i fed alot more than i did they would burn easy. just my opinion though
