DGD- Coco & Hydro-Mutli strain grow 2013--SSH/CHEESE/GSOGxKD/SAGExLMX and more

Week 4 flower

Rooms doing o.k , i have taken off the drip as it wasn't working out properly,i think the inline filter was getting blocked to easy so i removed it and took of the end stops on each of the lines so now it'll be wicked up from the floor plus hand watering .. Plants got a good flush 2 days ago and now are back on feed.

The L.A confidential and gsog x cd look like fast finishers- putting on a bit of size now ,the l.a has some nice scents coming of it too can't get much off the gsog right now.. I've decided on what sg x lmc's won't be going to round two , #11#10 are definitely gone these have just kept growing in height and have small heads with only slight aromas on #10 but #11 not really any thing. #8 looks to be on its way out too its got good height and structure but has no real odor yet. #6#4.1 defo these smell the most like the mother and look like they'll finish a decent height plus ok yield #9 is the only one that has any cheese scent in it ,decent height and structure #4.0 is quite a beast growing many arms but smaller heads ,has a nice haze scent but looks to be a later finisher than the others.
The ssh#1 & #4 are very different no.1 has a hazey perfume scent and looks like it'll finish earlier than than#4 which smells skunky and has smaller sized colas ,it was topped though so i'll take that into account.Seems like i was wrong about these ssh's thought i got a bad draw .. as these were the last of the 18pack which i only kept six from and the rest were fairy food.. so im happy to have some form of haze out the pack

I have all the cuts in the other room that i'll be working on ,i like how the L.A is performing has nice scent to it and going off the reports my friend gave me its smokes doja ..think it would be good partner for the ssh given early flower i think it'll only add to what already looks to be a 8/9wk. The lemon haze is getting run again just cause i've smoked this and i know its fire but growth is poor ..To be quite honest i think the vegetative growths been poor on a lot of the cuts i got in like they have no real vigor left in them .
The last room which is full of cuts taken from all plants in here its only the ones taken of the plants a popped look to be taking off. That rooms on atami soil a & b ,root stimulator and soil booster also by atami , and i think there doing great..got them free bottles 3yrs ago ..i won't be running the vitalink coco again after this lot runs out .




















Tents coming along slowly.. Moved the portable scog to another plant just to help it spread out a bit more..The double cheeses are looking a bit off i noticed i had left a small gap and light was getting in, need some microbial tomorrow just in case..
The vert side is edging on even slower..

edit: jheez i was tired when i wrote this up .. sorted typos

Took some shots of the cuts the last room ,these are just over 2wks old and are all from the main room .As i said these are getting b-cuzz soil food line and additives ..which seems to be performing very well .. The only one i not really feeling is the #3 its to lanky for my liking and inter nodes are far apart. Im going to run it but im not keeping cuts of this. there the two big plants a the back ..
i took shots before and after i took a load of cuts ..#


The main rooms smelling crazy right now..to many different odors .. I took a better look at that unknown plant i got will a load of cheese cuts, its started to turn colour now taking on some purple hues .. the aromas are hard to describe but it smells good..
Also potted up some of the seeds some are in 1ltrs still ..i need to pot up the rest but im down a few pots..
In here is :
cheese x lemon cheese -ch chunks
Ethiopian
blue cheese x lemon cheese -lem cola
Spice
jack here

yeah things are moving now .. compared to this time last year it feels good to be where i am at now..

Had some big losses about the time of my last online grow, really messed up my shit.. plus i went to get a tooth removed which led to a cat scan then biopsy .. wasn't what they thought but still took months to get some good news..
Took my foot of the peddle.. and since that time the bud around here has gone crazy.. some much shit cheese grown everything else as taken over ..partly cause i introduced a few people to fire buds other than cheese so more people are wiser strains and the other big guys all took up the Vietnam cheese cuts which is like a plague around here..

I spread out seeds and cuts like the salvation army.. i should get some pre 98 bubba this week which i forgot i gave a grower early this year says its the fire.. gave him some of my seeds too but says none popped up.. go figure ..my pre 98's all turned to mush..
Im glad for the variety i've got going on now ..
Got a load of cuts in the fridge that need to go in the prop too..

Everything looks to be coming along nicely

I'm down with that!! I had to google johnny Appleseed though ..
I seen the guy who gave me the ?blue cheese at a function last week.. Now back in 2010/11 i was trying to show him about the dog and hazes he was like nah ..stick with the cheese .. were good friends and we've had some long ass debates about strains and techniques.. he showed me how to plan out a room properly ..but hes a brick.. wouldn't budge on when he thinks plants are ready and how cheese is the only forward i had to disagree ..and passed him the dogs to bill up..Loved it but didn't want now cuts.. he's a few steps ahead of me in scale and teamwork anyway first thing the guy said was hes got some new kush strain he's working with finishes about 8/9wks .. So its taken awhile but the its changing .. will smoke him out when its down and give him the best cuts in the room.
Oh yeah the ? Blue cheese is Uk exodus x afgahni male which is no longer around .

Switching the tent to 12/12 ,i not to happy with my vert attempt .. you might not see it again as im thinking of changing it back .. its lacking a lot.. think what i was trying is more suited to tighter spaces .. Plus the other side isn't doing as bad as i thought it would of ..so if i can bend the stems enough of the #3 and #9 to get them flat i might just do that and run it as a scrog..

Took some shots of some of the plants at the back while i was moving cleaning up leaves

Update Week 5

I Changed the tent around back to normal so theres no more vertical in here.. The main rooms doing o.k they're showing some affects of ph damage though.. my ph pens have not been working since i changed the batteries ,i think i got some fakes as the readings are bouncing all over the place..gone back to the test drops till i get new lot.

I changed the tent back too ,its normal now so there's no more vertical for the time being..

Pics are labelled just roll mouse over them..



Thanks for viewing .. dre

Hey dre, do you pull leaves at all for any reason? Just curious.

I only pull leaves that are damaged or yellow leafs about to fall ( when i can) .. Seen some talk about defoliation but i have not tried it out. You thinking about it?

I've just been seeing people talk about it and wondered. I kinda think the opposite of defoliation, being that light is the fuel and leaves collect light? to me the more the merrier, unless there is a problem. I pull leaves because with the scrog stuff gets real tight and can get PM, but I wouldn't if I didn't have to.

I asked because it looked like a few of the plants didn't have a ton of fan leaves on them. But I suppose plants that are mostly buds are desirable. So good genetics.

Leaves fuel the bud production. BUT, it's really about the light coverage. If you can only pull a gram per watt, then, depending on coverage, defoliation may be necessary. Check it out.

Example: I have a 400w lamp - that covers a 3x3 area clean. I have a 4 tall plant. If I remove the lower 1 foot, the plant will focus it's energy into the "top production". Then - the top 3 feet (that is actually left of foliage) will get the "full benefit" of the 400w. And, no popcorn. At least, that's how it was explained to me. I, of course, understand it's really a "personal choice" in how you run your grow show, and I don't judge. Your circumstances are unique to your environment. What you do to your girls in the environment you've created for them is all you.

If that makes sense. It probs doesn't...meh.

I think the people I'm talking about just pull fan leaves all over the plant. They think the more light to the buds is better... or something like that.

Ok, well, random defoliation of fan leaves all over is not something that I would suggest. I would only ever pull from the bottom of the plant. And, only the part that isn't getting the full benefit of the 3x3x3 or 5x5x5 (etc) area of light coverage. Does that make sense? Or do I just sound like another opinionated douchenozzle? either way it's cool.. If you're looking to get some more light to the lower branches - you don't have to defoliate - you can LST. Bend those bitches/branches to your will.

I cleared up a few the other day when i took some pics maybe that has something thing to do with it.. I think theres a mix in there but the #1SSH --#4.1 sg xlmc --La.con and the gsog x cd have the kind of bud to leaf ratio that id prefer..
I take cuts and trim up before flower and with a little Lst it comes out like this..

I do see people doing it too but as you said with Lst or even mainlining you should be ok as your plants wont be getting that high.. under scrog then yeah but unless its at in the last week no .
You sound as normal as me pinworm

So the young plants are getting sexed so far 3 plants are male ak 47 x kali ,psycho killer and double death . The flying hammer has one of thickest stems i've seen . I never potted them up again thought i might aswell get them sexed and space would of been stretched will them all in bigger pots . Still i expect at least half of these to be male in here maybe more . Hope the last ak x kali- sunny d- pkiller and dd are female though .
Does get me thinking about how all these would interact with each other ,mixed bag of genetics in here at the moment from all corners.
The spice and Ethiopian have my interest for future crosses..

Thanks Gen.. you should throw some in on your next round, look like they'll fatten up nicely -very resinous plants these , not the strongest odors though but that might change closer to the chop time. I never asked you but what do you think of the GSOG anyway ? strengths or weaknesses ..

Found a few more males -jack herrer and the last psycho killer only the spice has female hairs already which is surprising as normally see most males a week or so before the females show.

I did get a sample of that Pre 98 bubba x afghani and i can't say i rate it taste and high was below par.. I aint got a clue how it was grown or cured either but it weren't harsh or anything. Had two bits of good luck(ish) had a baller of some fire haze and found a stray seed and got a few bits of some dank kush (told you the change is here) cured for like 6-8 wks proper nice smoke got a creeper type buzz and what do you know another gem inside .. Its in the locker anyway with a bunch of others bag/pound/ke seeds ,I will do a bag seed/Rogue seed grow when i get the chance as theirs quite a few now plus i got some of a old time farmer(Captain) from over the east side of the midlands told me there was a mix of Boston train wreck--Blues-- Thai-- and some others only the first one interested me to be-honest as i've never heard of it before ,blues is just a call away and thai seeds aint the hardest to locate .

week 6



Ticking along nicely pictures galore.. comments always welcome though..
