The buckets are bubbling and this time out I'll be trying another offering from my local seed bank's ever-growing collection of 'souvenirs'. I'll be growing a strain I know and love but have never grown before, Larry OG.
Larry OG, also known as โLemon Larry,โ โSour Larry,โ and โZour Larryโ is yet another member of the famous ocean-grown strain family. Originally created in Orange County, this indica marijuana strain is a cross between OG Kush and SFV OG. Larry OG produces a potent yet easy body buzz that will allow you to relax while getting things done. The effects of Larry OF are happy but not overwhelming. Like other members of the OG family, this strain has a very clean and piney aroma. The nugs tend to be dense and feature distinct burnt orange hairs that are longer than average.
- Genetics: 50% Sativa/50% Indica
- Flowering Time: 50-60 days
- THC: 24%
- CBD Level: Low (<2%)
I soaked the seed overnight in distilled water and then popped the seed directly into a pete plug the next day. I placed the plug into a grow tray containing some PH balanced, filtered water. I placed the tray on top of a seedling heat mat and placed a humidity dome on top of the tray. Seed sprouted within 48 hours and the first root broke through the pete plug about 48 hours after that. I transplanted the seedling into a 4" net pot containing clay pellets today, 7 days after soaking the seed. A moderate dose of nutes in the rez, EC .5 and PH at 6.0. She'll get top feedings until her roots break through the net pot. The plan is to veg for 3-4 weeks before setting up the ScrOG and flipping things to flower. The lighting in the tent has been upgraded so I'm keen to see what differences it will make ๐
Off we go with another grow.
Thanks for tuning in โ๏ธ
Hey Stun! Just read your reply regarding Kelp.
That might be very true, but what Ive also noticed giving even little too much too early causes stunted/midget growth. But this can be used as an advantage later on when the stretch phase is bout to begin. By then little overdoing kelp should inhibit the stretch and result should be tighter node spacing.
I also just fired up new DWC plant (diarys not up yet tho) but mixed Kelp in her first res and noticed how shes growing a bit abnormally.
@Verbalist, I know Kelp has its advantages, but at this point I'm ok without having it in the mix. I honestly can't say I noticed any huge benefit to using it as opposed to other grows where I didn't. All the best with your grows. I'll be peaking in to see how they progress ๐
Very impressive grow man. What temp is your water bro? I know it says 19c but tat would be best impossible if your canopy lvl is 30c mine is only 26.5 and my water temp nvr drops below 22 with contanst frozen glass bottles added and PH'ed ice. If it is 19c how do you get it to stay at that level. Need all the tips I can get thanks.
@StunFlower, They work well, the hot air sometimes still can heat up the water, but the coolers are thick. If I use colder water to top off the reservoirs I rarely get over 68f (20c).
@gottagrowsometime, try to keep your pump under your canopy, that will drop your temps a lot.
@gottagrowsometime, My water temps stay pretty manageable during the winter months (I'm in Canada). I'm setup in the basement and the concrete floor stays pretty cool which helps with temps in the buckets. My exhaust fan is also vented to the outdoors which helps keep the residual heat out of the grow space. I've also wrapped my buckets with black and white poly film. It does a great job of reflecting/blocking light. During the summer months it can be a struggle. My water temps will get up to 22c.
@Oozle grows in coolers which is an ingenious way to manage temps in DWC.
Good luck with your grows! ๐
