HIPPITY HIPPO’S GROJO

A few fell over today I was out and i think a cat or the wind or just gravity knocked some over. They’re fine just a little bent lol.

Starting a new run. Amended the soil a week ago with some lime , Gaia green 4-4-4 , a little extra kelp meal , bone meal and some rock dust and earth worm castings. I have 3 grandpas stash, three strawberry banana , two banana daddy, one Pineapple Express #2 and one something else I forget what it was I had a few mixed bags and the label fell off so it’s a mystery I think it’s a blueberry. i started these on the 15th of July so they’re 13 days old now. I took the pictures on the 25th so in the picture they’re 10 days old. I’m going to top them today and put them in there big pots probably next week the first week of August. My pineapple started with some rigid looking leafs idk why but I had two others do the same thing the last time I grew those idk if it’s genetic or what but always makes me nervous for a little while till they snap out of it.

These are twenty four days old, topped once so far I am going to do one more topping. I watered right after pics each got about three gallons. I laid the net down on Saturday after I transplanted them on Thursday. I use the dynomyco when transplanting and added some into my tea for transplanting. They didn’t skip a beat showed new growth with a few hours. I’m really liking the dynomyco. I’m using that, the recharge with some stump tea and silica to support root growth and enhance nute uptake. I also lowered the net to about 6 inches from the tops of the soil. My lst is really showing the bottom colas are exploding. I’m really hoping to run them a full 60 days and flip them. We shall see.

At 36 days now. Everything’s moving along real nice. I’ve been watering with recharge, stump tea, microbe lift, silica blast and veg terp tea aerating for 24 hours every three days each pot soaking in about 2 1/2 - 3 gallons. I’m using the dynomyco every other watering. I’m hesitant to flip them to flower as I want the left side to fill in more but the right side is almost to the point where I have to flip. So we shall see I’m hoping to give them a full 60 day veg I don’t think I’ll be able to though at the very least I’ll drag them out to 45 days then flip. I’m going to top dress the 31st with Gaia green 4-4-4 one cup each pot then again on the the 7th with Gaia green 2-8-4 one and half cups each pot with a few tps of hi yield phosphorus each pot. I’ll probably add in some amended mushroom compost also.

Still spreading and weaving. I topped a second time to push those lower colas harder. I also did some defoliation today on the under Meath of the net. I started making my water for early morning and switched the lights to 24 hours since I topped. I mixed a strong dose of microbe lift in 28 gallons with silica blast, a little Epsom salt nothing serious just a slight presence to keep everything in check and happy I also added in some dynomyco in with stump tea recharge and slight amount of terp tea. Brewing till 2 am and I’ll water it in. Normally I wouldn’t top twice as it over crowds the net but I have such rapid growth that I can’t drag them out forty five or more days so I’ll make them push harder and fill it quicker this way.

Took some lights off pictures I topped a second time and two plants got a extra topping as when I was doing some weaving a nice size stem snapped on me with about two inches of good growth off the top. Anyway everything is filling in nice and full I have to weave daily or it gets way overgrown I’m going to flip on the first or within a few days of that sorry for long run on Sentence I was driving doing everything by voice

Defoliated the whole underneath today to prepare to flip them. I’m going to hold off till the fifth or seventh to flip them to 12 and just let them stretch mostly up to the support net there’s 6” between the bottom net and the top net and I have fans mounted up high on the walls to get air flow through the canopy. I’ve been running high humidity 75-80% which is fine for now but am going to start bringing it down slowly over the next week so not to shock them anymore than I already am. I top dressed with Gaia green 2-8-4 mixed into mushroom compost which also has a few other amendments like kelp meal and lime and garden tone and worm castings. Each pot got a few cups like a inch worth in each plant. I’ll lay off the recharge and dynomyco after I flip them and will be using bloom tea from roots organic terp tea line and silica and Epsom salt with microbe lift while in flower. I’ll feed every other watering while running the silica and microbe lift every watering. I’ll use the recharge maybe two or three times through out flowering to keep life in the soil happy.

Flipped them on the first of September everybody’s starting to show snowballs and is done stretching for the most part I really didn’t expect the middle ones to come up Like that. They’re still about 25 inches away from the light so should be good.

Done stripping the bottom now I took everything off. Under the first net I’ve been pulling everything up through that and evening the canopy out between that and the second net. Hopefully no larf buds everything in between the nets should bud up nice and there’s nothing under the bottom net to suck up juice and waste my time.

Some pictures of the last grow I forgot to post this was still about four to six weeks from finish.

Everything’s looking nice. Today is day 23 of flower. I’ve pretty much done all the underneath trimming I’m going to do for the time being. The room has been holding at around 55% humidity and 81-85 degrees depending on outside temp. The middle plant on the left side got a little taller than I’d like and I really didn’t have anywhere else to run them under the net. I can raise the light 6 or so inches more if I need to. I just too dressed with Gaia green 2-8-4 and happy frog flower. They’re getting recharge and microbe lift and silica with every watering. Every other watering they’re getting the above and terp tea bloom. I mix it lightly about 5 tbs for 27-30 gallons water and aerate for 24-36 hours. I add Epsom salt about three times through out flower. That middle plant is all sorts of green waves out it’s crazy how much it stretched up it also has the largest stalk I’ll post a picture of it.

The upper collars are as thick as bic’s. The dynomyco I used through veg really helped explode that growth and utilizes all twenty gallons of the pot.

Hitting week four in the pictures. Today is the beginning of week five. Still got about 8 -10 weeks left. Everything is coming along nice so far I have to pull some old stuff off the underneath today and trim a few last branch’s and I’ll be done with that for the rest of the grow.

Added the light bars on the underneath today. This way the inbetween net gets filled in also I was worried about hood light penetration into that middle area and I wasn’t seeing t he areas form the way I wanted so I added some more lights.

They’re really liking the under breath lighting. Just gave each plant about 3 gallons yesterday making water now for Saturday.

I think my next run I’m going to cut the area in half not literally just use half the net and do 5 plants. Here’s some pictures with lights out from earlier today starting week 6 this week.

Swelling up entering week 6-7 now

Just cut down the outside stuff. Got it hanging yesterday still have 7 plants to do but we thought they could hold out another week or so weather permitting I’ll post some pics of that stuff when it’s done. Here’s some pics from this morning everything is filling in good I see I have two that want some extra food so I stepped that up and increased water for this week a bit I also top dressed the pots with flowering soil home made and watered in some recharge and dynomyco.
