OLD ST1R’s Heisenbean Grow

[Heathenraider]

@Heathenraider, They actually show that on the packaging for the rockwool cubes. Of course I didn’t do it. I did PH the water down to 5.5 for the cube soak.

This what they look like now after 12 days and no visible signs of roots. Quite a bit of yellowing. I did give the stems a little tug away from the cubes and they’re all “stuck” in the cubes like there is some roots, just not visible.
I did give them 6ml of 1/4 strength bloom nutes this morning.

I keep the rock wool cubes a bit damp and just use kelp spray at 7 days and again at 14 days if not rooted, usually even with that they look like hell even after rooting and oputting in medium, takes em a couple weeks to kick start then they grow normally, some strains clone much easier than others, Jelly Pie is a bitch let Me tell ya, Wedding Pie is easy , Adub is easy, God Bud hard as hell. My experience anyways.

they rebound on the first feed of the schedule.

So,,,

So GG4, Dubstep, GMO Cake and Gmoozy are all a bitch to clone. LMAO.

 

[Jewels]

My SourSmurfzilla carries gg4, it is on the long side for clones.
That SkeletonCookies clones like the Mickey Mouse's brooms on Walt Disney's Fantasia.

You chop them up like mad - and soon enough YOU are carrying endless pail of water.

 

[BigBallzWillie]

Dubstep clones real easily for me. Keep trying, I heard the GG can be a bitch to clone.

 

[Jewels]

they’re all “stuck”

,,,that and they all have exspanding green tops. I think they will all "go"
Lower righty pays out highest odds , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Never give up. I have 12" clones from early Aug still in veg.

@Jewels , here are my plants this morning after the first feed from yesterday:

 

[Old ST1R]

Hellllloooooo Fellow Groooooowwerrrrs!

Exciting times! Exciting times!

Yesterday, all the plants got transplanted to 3 Gallon plastic pots. I bought some mycoharaze and made sure the root ball was covered in the stuff before going into the new pots.

I also modified a rack I had left over from one of my garage ceiling racks to fit inside the tent. This is sitting on 7/8” diameter PVC piping I had left over from making the screen for the tent. It’s there to keep the pots from sitting directly on the cold floor and so that the pots do not sit in any run-off.

Last night was there last day of 18/6 and they are now on a 12/12 light schedule.

Exciting times indeed.

 

[Old ST1R]

This is excruciating waiting for lights on after the flip. LOL.

 

[Old ST1R]

Plants are LOVING their new shoes !

Although, I think some of them need to be watered more. I only gave them one gallon between eight of them yesterday after being transplanted.

 

[Old ST1R]

Hellllloooooo Fellow groooooowwers!

it’s been one week since flipping to 12/12 and the stretch is on!

I haven’t switched to the HPS yet and I’ll run the MH for another two weeks, switching to the HPS after three weeks of 12/12.

I’ve been watching carefully for ball sacs, and have only found female flowers and some immature “stuff” that is too early to tell what it is.

Because my last grow was “ruined” by a hermie, my plan is to remove each plant from the tent for a close inspection twice a week until I’m comfortable they aren’t going to throw balls or my screen goes in. Even after the screen goes in, I will still check, but I may need an inspection mirror to se behind the plants.

They’re all looking great, IMO. Here is a group shot:



This isone of the GG4’s:


The fans on it are fairly large:

The other GG4:

The two Dubsteps:


GMO Cakes:

And the two GMOozy’s:

Pistils notes on all plants after 9 days of 12/12.

Hey Stone, sorry to leave you hanging. I only get sporadic notifications.

She is going strong! The last photo is the best yet; all those bottom leaves have popped up.

Perfect timing on your flip, I can see all those bud sites que'ing up.
Even Tom Petty knew, the waiting is the hardest part. Come December, you will have a tent full of buds.

 

[Old ST1R]

Pretty sure one of the GMOozy's is a herm. Second one from right, front row in the last picture above. I see a lot of "balls on sticks". Nothing opening yet, but pretty sure they're male flowers.

What are you doing with the balls just picking them off?

 

[BigBallzWillie]

That sucks....not even 2 weeks after flip. Er..actually better to know now than later.

I haven’t picked anything off yet. I just noticed them this morning. I’m going to pull it out tonight after lights on and have a closer look, but I think there are a ton of them, which makes me inclined to just cull the plant. my first grow got seeded by a hermie and I don’t want that to happen again.

Exactly! Cut my losses so to speak.
