Smokey Does Franco’s Lemon Cheese - Condensed !!

[Smokey]

Hello GrowRoom420,

Well I thought I’d best get myself back in the the Franco Loja’s tribute grow and finally give these Franco’s Lemon Cheese A full run this time out (hopefully)

As some of you may or may not remember I started this grow believe it or not way back at the start of the year as a tribute to the great late Franco Loja. However due to unforeseen circumstance (moving home) I had to pull the plug or so it would have seemed......... I in fact gave the 2 baby plants I had germinating to a close friend of mine and he gave them a run and I must say I was very impressed with the end results so with the tribute grow on my mind I managed to persuade him to take some cuts for me a week before he started his flush to see if I could somehow get them back to a re re vegging state. Well I have some great news after a few weeks of persistent nursing I can happily say I do in fact have them re vegging as we speak (Monster Cropped) !! With roots showing and new growth forming

I only have 2 that pulled through and made it but that’s good enough for me. I will be taking my time with these and possibly Scrog just the 2 of them in the tent (could change) I will update you all as we move along.

Ok so here are the girls as of today potted up from 1l AirPots to 10l sitting in the coco catching some rays. These girls will be sharing the Roof Qube for now ok a 20/4 light schedule under 600w Power Plant MH bulb

Feeds are canna A&B and Plant Magic Root Stimulant ec of 0.7 and ph 5.8/5.9









I have a quick update for you tonight Feeds are now now by EC 0.8 ph 5.9

They are moving along nicely here’s a quick few pics lights on but with lumii glasses not the best pics admittedly but I’m rushing tonight so apologies





Quick update tonight the girls are still being put through their paces with the training I’m building these girls up to be some Cassius Clays they were gifted their own res tonight also so ec will be dropped accordingly











M

These girls will be vegged for quite some time as it’s now official these girls will occupy the roof qube alone under a scrog


Been a bit slack with this one but to be honest I’ve had to tuck them away under the t5 whilst the autos finish in the scrog room !! Until then I’ve unleashed them from all points so I can just chuck the screen on flatten em out and get them to pop up again

Here they are as we stand light years after the monster crop it seems lol

















So this is finally happening..............

Updates to follow



Some pics I just too currently sat under 400wmh















Need to get these feeds dialled in from here on in

Well it’s deffo overtime for checking and I apologise for that. So here we are as of today after their first sleep We are now into flip mode squad !!!

So they look ok although here comes the switch of feeds from grow to bloom which can easily catch us out sometimes

Current feeds atm 1ml per l A&B & 2ml per l Root stim . . . .

Question is where do I go from here

Ok so here’s some lights off pics I just shot





















Day 1 flip 14/03/2019 scrog 80% filled




Anyway here we are 1 week since flip and coming along rather nicely. I am very happy with them at the moment, no concerns whatsoever and with a week or so give or take left of stretch I believe ill have an ideal canopy to bring the girls home safe and sound

I changed the bulb a couple of days ago so they are now sat basking under 600w dual spec HPS

Feeds are 5 litres each daily 1ml per litre Canna A&B & 0.25ml Ionic pk, feeds will stay the same for the next week !



Little update for you guys calmag drenched last night but still getting a little out of hand I’ll be cracking on with a wee defol early next week

so at the mo feeds are 1ml per l A&B and 0.3333333333 ml ionic and ticking over ok I’d say















Here we are Day 16 since the old flip a roo

As I have said before my ph pen is now redundant as is my ec pen I haven’t used them at all for about 4-5 weeks now it’s just tap water with the feeds,

Tried to get a few close ups but hey I’m no photographer so I’ll post what looks acceptable without blurs lol

























I was talking to GMO earlier as I had noticed last night some lower growth pistils had started to turn a little Amber however tonight since I’ve been up there it appears to have increased significantly I have now dropped the feeds to see if this will help , I did push the ionic a week further than planned and am now in cross over with the hammerhead I can only imagine this is the cause “less is more smokes c’mon ” but other than that we are still moving along















Day 26 since flip.....



Day 42 since flip......



So i have good and bad news !! I have had to take the francos down a week early as we are now going on vacation as of Sunday so every things been a bit rush rush !! But i will have plenty to take with me and i can shut everything down for a break.

Francos has been down 5 days now and its now time for the weigh in.............. I hope to beat my personal best we shall see here we are as we stand






Ok so I have some figures it’s not bad but still not great however I did break my p.b off 2

Drum roll please...........

408.8 gms

I know I can do better, watch this space
