ROUND 3: 1600w MH/Super HPS LST Bubblelicious & Blackjack Grow

Nice, AK-47 Wake n bake

Went to home depot and got some "Ortho Ecosense" insect killer... To deal with the gnats and thrips....worked like a charm...NOT A BUG TO BE FOUND a few minutes later...

Nice. That shit and some neem oil works like a charm neem oil is mostly a preventative though.

6-27-10 (Day 29)

PRE FLOWERS! 3 out of 4 Bubblelicious are showing multiple pre flowers...... with the tallest only being 9"..... I think I may be cutting a week of the veg cycle and switching to 12/12 on 7/5 rather than 7/12..... Another dose of GROW BIG tomorrow, big bloom and open sesame...Because I'll be Skipping one weeks feed of grow big by moving a week ahead of schedule, I'll be missing one more dose of grow big in the final week of veg on the fox farm schedule... I will just make up that dose in the first flowering spot on the chart (Week 5)....

pics are coming...I've been crazy busy...and these bitches are getting FAT and bushy!!

Thanks for the update bro, and btw you made a typo you might wanna fix, you said 6/5 and 6/12 when you meant 7/5 7/12 you're welcome.

good looking...Thanks man..

6-28-10 (Day 30)

The last week has shown about a 150% increase in size...perhaps more. As I said before, GROW BIG!



compare this group shot to posts #51 and #52.... very nice growth..



another..




Nice looking 9-11" canopy..





Ok, today they will get their second dose of grow big (see post #64 for more info on me skipping a week of veg and nutes)...as well as open sesame, big bloom....
Plan on this being the last week of veg....

very thick roots are coming out of the bottom of the planters...

a few gnats and thrips are around.... I'm going to wait until the watering/feed is done, then going to let dry, and re treat the area for pests..... Nothing bad that I see, plants look great, just more of a preventative measure... virtually positive that FF ocean forest is the culprit for the pests....

If all goes according to plan, a week from now, the 9 ladies will be sitting under the 1000w SUPER HPS on their first day of flowering..

I don't see the need for the extra 600w HPS as the plants are nice and bushy....once they get a little larger, they will get the 600w hps as well... Agreed??

That's all for now...Stay tuned...Shit is getting exciting around here...

ok, just got grow big, open sesame and big bloom..... I think my new target date for 12/12 switch (7/5) is perfect...... let's see what the next few days bring...

Oh, I wanted to confirm my previous suspicion...that the "Mystery White" is in fact, White Widow.... I've never grown it before... Because it seems to be much more sativa dominant...I'm really hoping that I won't have to flower that one by itself beyond the other 8......

Here's a shot of the VERY top of the cola from my last bubblelicious, I'm about to spark some up. that thing is just over 11gr....it's tight as a brick...crazy

looks very yummy +rep

yup, that's shown to be very true....

6-29-10 (Day 31)

Moved the girls under the 1000w hps for the last 6 days of veg. Noticed the top of the main stem of the white widow is a bit limp....Put a skinny support stick in the pot and tied up the top to help it out.. Not sure what the deal is with it. It's not over-watered...it's not under-watered....not deficient of any nutrients.... Pests seem to be under control.... Not heat stress.... hmmmm..

ok, two quick pictures for ya.

First, here they are under their new home -1000w hps (day 31 of veg, going to 12/12 on 7/5)


and here's a canopy shot. Nice and even... See the lst'd white widow in the back left (see the stick)

which girls are the bubblelicious?

in the first shot, in my most recent post the bubblelicious are: front row MIDDLE plant is bubble. middle row, LEFT plant is bubble, back row, MIDDLE is bubble and the right plant is bubble...

Ok, that's it for tonight, can't wait to see what tomorrow brings... Hopefully the white widow will have perked back up....

6-30-10 (day 32) -5 days until 12/12 switch....

White widow seems to have perked back up... Hopefully that's the last of the problems... Plants are LOVING the 1000w hps... They're more perky and happy than I've seen them yet....
