Big Bang Powder Feeding [Completed]

[Newfriend 208]

Wow, some great info:

Thanks Dust, I will do a partial defoliation, I personaly think that the big leaves are the Engine for the buds and I don't have a lot of small stuff under neith.

Having said that, I will do a little defoliation. Thanks

Thanks for the info FIM

altho I have read Franko's info on Flushing, your information kind of brings it home.

In a day or 2 when the plants are dry, I plan on taking a middle size plant and poring water through it (1 ltr at a time) until I get to an EC of about 1.0.

Then I will have a guide for all the plants, it is to difficult to do all 30 plants for runoff.

I have my setup so the the runoff goes down the shower drain.

I will do the single plant on a 5 gal bucket, checking the EC and cleaning the bucket each time.

When the EC is down to 1.0 I plan of giving them a mild feeding of PF at 1.0 EC and may be some Molasses and once more of the Great White Micro's?

Does this sound like a good plan?

PS: This will happen on or about week 3 of Bloom.

Thanks

well it's just a suggestion don't feel obligated to do it ^^

[Newfriend 208]

Ok I did it dust, pinched off a lot of Fan leaves.

The more I removed the more I saw, it was good to get to the plants in the back.

I thought I had removed most of the lower buds, but there was plenty, got to remove some leave on the bottom also.

There is plenty of leaves left, a good lesson learned.

I ended up with 1/3 of a 2 cubic foot sack of fan leaves

A pic of the girls first hair do lol

PS: Lot of finger hash, looked at buds with 30x and lots of tricks on leaves.

[Newfriend 208]

Question?

It must shock the plants some by removing all those leaves?

Is there an optima time to defoliate (Prolly on lams info somewhere just could not find it) ?

[Dust 6,284]

yes it's a little shock that 's why when you do it, you better do it good so you do it only once but it's not a huge stress most of the time you won't even notice a diferences in the girls growth

Check here for complete infos on defoliation http://www.strainhun...hl__defoliation

[Newfriend 208]

Good link and info.

One thing I have learned "Nothing about Cannabis is written in stone" LOL

I feel good about the defoliation I did on my girls, time will tell.

Hi Fran.gh

3rd birthday of flower

I should have watered today, but, Pots are still moist Ummmmmm

I have been watering/feeding every 6 days with approximately 2 ltr of water each.

Sense Flushing, it is now day 7 and plants still wet.

I will take Dusts and Lams advice and increase my water/feed amount to 3 ltrs each plant, so as to get more runoff.

I don't think I have been completely wetting the plants.

I really like the formation of the bud sites, they are really close together compared to my 1st grow.

Here are a few pics, Enjoy

Thanks Dust, for the advice on Defoliating , still lots of leaf material left.

Edit: PS looks like the stretch is over, the tallest plant is 26 inchs and the smallest is 17 inches.

[Dust 6,284]

looking good man yes the stretch if not over should stop anytime and they will not take a lot now seeing how the ubds are developping now

And it looks proper man!! it is gonna be a great SOG in few weeks here

Good luck with the new watering If you think you can continue with 2 liters and have enough runoff don't be afraid

[Gfarmer 1,068]

i said goddamn !!! that is amazing i love it, i haven't seen too many SOG setup's around here!!! and this is defiantly one of the most uniform and impressive i have seen on the strain hunter's forum! amazing work keep it coming bro!

[Newfriend 208]

Welcome greenomatic87

Good luck on the 4 GHSC White lemon's They are looking great.

Some tasty looking GHSC TrainWreck and other buds.

I look forward to the grow, and smoke report.

Just going to repeat this on your grow, so I can follow it.

[Big'G' 131]

You're going to be one busy brother come harvest day lol.

They're looking great keep it up, hope it remains

Peace

Day 24 of Flower Feb 4 2013

Water Plants (Water Only)

24 hrs stored in 55gal barrel for 24 hrs.

NOTE: EDIT: Calibrated both EC and PH meter, they were spot on.

EC 0.51 Ph 6.5 (Original Ph 7.7 used AN PH down) Water temp 68.9 deg F

NOTE:

Chose 4 plants for testing EC and PH

Used 2 ltrs per plant (See 2 ltr soda bottle)

Plant 1 was the tallest at 26 inches 2, 3, and 4 were smaller the smallest being 17 inches tall.

Plant EC PH Amt in MLtrs (Runoff)

1 0.85 6.5 125m

2 0.96 6.5 170m

3 1.20 6.6 220m

4 1.34 6.6 240m

Do I dare make an assumption that:

The bigger the plant the more it eats and the sooner it drys out?

[Jimmy 952]

You plants are looking really good bro. Keep up the good work.

Peace

Jimmy

[Dust 6,284]

great man thanks for the update

Yes you can assume that the bigger the more they eat and indeed the more roots in the soil, the faster the soil will dry out i did notice that too..

Keep us updated

Have a good grow

[Newfriend 208]
