It's been another good week all things considered. The plants are looking nice and healthy and I'm still learning. Took my first clones, finally I think the big Dos-si-dos has finished its stretch thank God, and my pure kush and my Canuk cookies are both some of the nicer phenos for sure which is nice to know. First thing, the Dos-si-dos are all really coming around and at this point I just dont know what to think. The bigger phenos are going to be huge yielders I think. I've pruned them both twice (#1,4) but #4 also had its secondary stems topped. I'm really not a fan of that thin leaf look and I always thought that meant it was a sativa but now I'm not sure what it means... do you think these leaves look sativa?(#1,4) I've seen other plants that are indica dom hybrids and they have thin leaves.. is that just a genotype genetics thing, I dont know yet. Dos-si-dos #2 and 3 finished their flower stretch way too early so I have this drastic difference in height which drives me nuts (and Is partially why I've taken clones from Canuk cookies) but I've added 2 extra lights lol so I'm basically okay because ive got them at 3 different levels and I find a way to work them together while moving them every other day to clean or whatever I need to do and then switch their positions to get light to the other sides of the plants. # 2 has a really beautiful nice fruity smell going and the buds are fattening up. There Is a layer of trichomes forming on the leaves at this point as well. Maybe these 2 will be finished early and ill have more room to manipulate the others. Next thing is the clones. I took my first 3 clones ever and I think I did everything right except for properly trimming the clones and I also took them about 3 or r days after starting flower as it was a Last minute thing. I'm hoping it doesnt take long for them the root and then revert back to veg. I've read some people say that it wont even be a thing so I hope that's true and they just start vegging. I took 3 to make sure that I would have extra in case one didnt pull through and because I had to trim those spots anyways. I used some gel with IBA I believe and a disposable scalpel. I cut it and then popped them in distilled water immediately, then I took them and cut them to where I wanted them at an angle and dipped in the gel and then into peat pucks sitting in perlite. I've got a 26w CFL on them...I dont know if its CFL though for sure because I haven't really figured out those lights yet or what they are lol. It's full spectrum though. I've got it in the dome and I've got the heat mat set to 77f. The clones are 4 days in now and I'm rooting for them ;) I'll be using them for a clone run and for outdoor this season. For the clone run I was thinking of doing a side by side with green planet and advanced nutrients lineups to see how close they are because I'd like to use green planet. I have their terpinator and Rezin right now that I'll be using some of for my outdoor and for my indoor grows after. In conclusion, things are going very well but I just wish that i had more space and i could grow wayyy more. I love this stuff so much I could do this everyday for the rest of my life. Which Is why I plan to go back to school next year for horticultural technician in B.C so that I can start my career in legal marijuana, hopefully not with a stupid huge warehouse company. I want to work with people who are trying to grow legendary beautiful buds in smaller controlled batches. I really dont wanna make more money for, or work for, people who are going to treat weed like its something on a process line.. that's so boring and not creative at all. I want to grow things exotic and different, and always keep learning new things and maybe breeding strains. So far Canadian marijuana scene is heading towards a monopoly and I think that sucks!

Grow Questions

JRABTHEARABstarted grow question 6 years ago
What's your opinion on pruning off the 5th node and the top 4 out of 12 inches of growth? I have 2 plants growing too fast and I believe this would remedy it. I dont want to hurt them, but I dont need a super uneven canopy. Pruning just the top hasn't slowed it down enough

Nothing wrong with topping at the 5th node. Now with that said 4in. to take of most likey will add some stress it is doable tho especially when they are healthy like your plants look. I have done it before with mixed results some plants had no problem some got stressed but made it fine. You can always take like the top 2in off and do some HST or LST to keep the canopy even just be careful to not snap anything. or you could just try the LST or HST a not top. A lot of it is personal preference. like for example I prefer to do LST or HST instead of keep topping. Once have already topped a plant once or twice i usually don't like to top more than twice. so that's why I prefer to do bending an what not after the topping if i still need to control the canopy height or fill in spaces. another thing you can try to slow down the vertical growth is to give the top of the stem a little pinch not enough to damage the skin of the plant but just enough to where it squishes the stem a tiny bit and yes it can stress it out a lil but no more than topping if done right. the idea behind it is that once you do it the plant will focus on healing that spot instead of vertical growth and most of the time the stem grows back thicker/tougher than before. good luck!. Hope this helps and if you got any other ?'s just shoot me a message👍 Happy Growing HoffGuyy

What are some good preventative measures besides the obvious (being clean, no outside stuff inside etc) to keep pests at bay? I have yet to deal with bugs but I'd love to know a method of prevention that's close to fool proof. I dont want them :)

You can use Cannacure, its a nice product, to prevent pests and so on. It contains Neemoil too, and some benefical additives. Its very economic and easy to use ( they say even to a flowering plant. ) You can grow "company plants" like marigold, geanieum, basil ( all stinky stufff) Ihave been using nictotine tsolutions, neemoil solutions, plants..................................................https://www.growbarato.net/en/canna/118-cannacure-spray-1l-plant-protector.html#/capacity-spray_750ml

Anyways, had a bit of a rough go with my germination and seedlings this time. Thinking that I must have over watered. When I spoke to my local grow shop guy we narrowed it down to way to much moisture. The next time I use one I will use much less water and I will wipe out the dome everyday. Because of the moisture, I saw quite a few different issues arise. Really disappointing to lose some of those seeds but thank God I had some back ups and something like this doesnt happen twice. You remember... unless you dont learn Planning to try to put in pictures and info for this entire grow. I'm trying to locate a mother on this grow if they're nice and grow a crop of clones next. Hopefully one of the dos-si-dos will be the mom. I'm growing Canuk cookies, pure kush and bubba kush CBD as well that I'm not journaling.

@JRABTHEARAB, Thats a very good Price!!!, i always look for squared airpots. And the Airpots are much cheaper in europe... its a long way for them to canada^^
JRABTHEARAB
JRABTHEARABcommented6 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, They're pretty cool right?! I got them at my local hydroponics shop. I'm from Ontario, Canada. I think they got them from a special supplier who just started making these cheaper versions of the air pot. They were only 4.95 each and then like 2.95 for the saucer and around the same for the risers. I love them so far, especially since I couldnt find the regular air pots for less then 50$ a piece. I'm interested to see how they'll work with my huge root systems this time.

@JRABTHEARAB, meh, it's extra stress but at the end you'll get weed, and the flip will help with the taste and potency so it's "no harm done", not really... right?
JRABTHEARAB
JRABTHEARABcommented6 years ago
@CRiSPrGrow, the two first strains I grew out were so nice I just feel I've got to assume I got severely unlucky. If it is an autoflower then they are total idiots for having multiple seeds in the same area. At this point it really looks like it has flowered. Maybe I should call them and see how they react to me bringing this up. If they're douchey I'll ditch em.

What a dick, people need to mind their own business. I had a landlord once and he did that sort of shit, just show up unannounced and invaded my space. Must be an Ontario thing, that was in Markham. It pissed me off, I moved. Interestsd to see how the Do Si Dos turns out. I am either going to try that or HSO Sugar Breath, which is a Do Si Dos cross I can get at the local Hydro store. Convenient as they carry all Dinafem and HSO seeds. Cheers

JRABTHEARABcommented6 years ago
@BarrieGrower, Yah it's been super rattling! Hopefully I can find something where I'm left in peace. Sugar Breath sounds like a beauty. Anytime I see anything with an OGKB I'm sold. I would definitely be interested to see that one run its course!

Too bad you had to deal with that. I doubt the little bit of light will cause your plants any issues unless he was doing it frequently
JRABTHEARAB
JRABTHEARABcommented6 years ago
@GreenHouseLab, thanks for the comment! Makes me feel a bit better. I haven't grown enough indoor yet to fully understand how easy or hard it is to turn a plant hermie and when I grew outdoor it just never happened. I know some have it in the genetics but either way it would be rattling! I'm pretty sure it was only opened twice and probably not for long periods.. hopefully

Great looking grow, buds building nicely and lots of them. Should be a nice yeils of premo buds. I smoked somw Dos Si Dos last night for the first time. For me it comes on slow, not overwhelming, relaxing, calming, mellow and a bit physical. Loved it and it is goimg on my long next to list. Going to follow along. Happy growing!

Indoors i only have to fight against fungus gnats, and to prevent an infection from them its good to have always a quite dry layer, let some airflow ( so the flies can not land on your layer and put eggs in the soil. You can cover the layer with diamantous earth( its like glasshards to them).....and i used to spary the layer with neemoilsoution.. they hate it. But if only one llaes the eggs its a big mess ... and i could get rid with the hole bunch of stuff like nematoe, yellowstickers and the other remedies ive counted.but nematode worked very well. Happy flowering

@BarrieGrower, I read in a couple places that it does help out quite a bit with yield. I'm going to try it hopefully for my next flower with the LED t5 strips. I'll put them around each side. I'm growing girl scout cookies clones next run so I'm going to experiment with a couple things and see the differences. Maybe I'll just put two LED strips in and see how much better those sides do, then ill know if it actually is worth it

Hi, nice grow nice setup,,,,, just one lil tip , if you use a dome for seeds ( because of your low rh) put in some holesfor transpirate. Normally you dont use domes for seeds, but if you should put holes into it.happy growing
