Tour of the Death Star & attack of the clones

Week 13 - Mother

Mother is looking well fed and a little bit leathery now, I've started lifting the trays with the feed balls in when watering to try and lighten her off a bit, Apart from that she's happy.

Week 6 - Week of Peak Flowering

A+B = 2 ml/L
Silicon = 0.5 ml/L
PK 13/14 = 1 ml/L
Boost = 1 ml/L
Fulvic = 1 ml/L

E.C = 1.7
P.H = 5.9
Bulb = 600w hps

Total Veg Time = 7 Weeks


What can I say, It's all coming together now.
Cut back on the a+b just a little this week and also switched from buddy to pk 13/14, Apart from that everything else remains the same except the buds which are getting fatter by the day now.
Hoping I didn't miss the pk window, getting this feeling they aren't going to swell much more though.

Sorry for the crap photo, its getting hard to get it all in now, too much clutter in the room and can't get far enough back to get it all in.
Its now while looking at the photos I realise how badly I need to get in there and start defoliating again. Will make a start of that this evening.

Week 6 - Clones

Clones are looking much happier now, Finally managed to get them uncovered and established in there new environment.
They have been put back on Samurai start, Now they are taking off they can go on a weak dose of a+b.
Just need to feed them up a bit now and get on top of it with them.
Last night I bent the main stems over 90 degrees below the first node, today they are growing back up quite happy again like nothing happened :-) Need to tie them down.









And the ugly ducklings, Got rid of 3 the other day to a customer. The other 3 are waiting for a friend, They are starting to suffer in there now, in need of some tlc, hope he takes them soon.


That's all till next week.

Thank you, I can’t take all the credit though, the nutes and coco have done all the hard work.
It’s fairly level except for the back left plant, she stayed a little lower than the other 3, she seems happy still though.
Well I would normally hack it to death all through veg and as she goes into flower, then I usually have a defoliate sort of half way through flowering to tidy things up a bit and then a final one near the end to help them finish.
Trouble I’m having at the moment is my back hurts too much while reaching to the back of the tent so not really done much with it, went in there yesterday and spent 20 minutes taking some off but it didn’t really make much of a dent.

Hey my apologies I'd forgotten about your grow Vad!
Plenty o work you got your self mate lol loving your style and the plants are looking marvelous indeed.
I have a bloomroom tent I'm getting shot of atm and they have side zips so you can access all areas they also have plenty of tube holes this one can be set up with a cool tube light fitting when using hot lights like hps & mh bulbs.

I reckon this would sort out the back ache that's if you can access all sides if you got the space.



Good luck thinning out the scrog Vad looking from here looks like they doing well enough and if you doing the 600w maybe it'll be able to work it's lumens through that lush canopy

[Vador]

Hey @dal
Yeah the tent I have can be opened and accessed from the sides but it’s tucked into the corner of a room and can only be accessed from the front unfortunately.
It’s a 3in1 tent so had to position it in such a way I can get into the veg tent, just means I can’t get into the side of the flowering tent.
It’ll be alright though
Thanks for looking in

Week 14 - Mother

Mum has been a bit neglected, she's still well fed but has gotten thirsty since last time she was watered, All she has had this week is ph'd water again, no nutes at all.


Today she got a haircut and started some form of training, Going to flower her I think, Will grow out the clones first then flower her after that. In the meantime I’ll bush her out under the t5 with the goal of doing a one plant scrog momma style.

Week 7 - Flowers Increasing in Size

A+B = 2 ml/L
Silicon = 0.5 ml/L
Buddy = 1 ml/L
Boost = 1 ml/L
Fulvic = 1 ml/L

E.C = 1.5
P.H = 5.9
Bulb = 600w hps

Total Veg Time = 7 Weeks


Flowering is going well, I've switched back to buddy again although one of the plants is looking a bit behind now, Might give her a dose of pk down the line.
Buds are fattening up nicely now and everything still nice and green, Happy with everything so far.
With this 600w hps burning the rh is going below 30 in there all the time, its been unbelievable. doesn't seem to bad in the tent though and the plants seem happy enough.
Been spending 5 minutes each day taking some fan leafs off, Starting to get back on top of it.

This is how they are looking under the hps, Shade is normally lower but has been raised for photos.


I'm not a fan of hps photos, the following ones are with the light off and using the camera flash, it highlights bud growth much nicer.

Week 7 - Clones

A+B = 0.5 ml/L
Silicon = 0.5 ml/L
Calmag = 0.5 ml/L
Rootstim = 0.8 ml/L
Fulvic = 0.8 ml/L

E.C = 0.9
P.H = 5.8
Bulb = T5

Clones have finally settled in now and are making a comeback, started defoliation today as well as training them to stay low ready for scrog. 3 out of 4 are looking alright the other just needs a bit more time, forgot how slow it is under t5. Will be replacing with some invisible sun goodies soon if I’m lucky.








These aren't doing great now, mate hasn't taken them so thinking of planting them out somewhere in the wild.

Week 15 - Mother

Mother is doing really well, She started showing some red in her stems so she's now back on the slow release balls again.
Really branching out now, going to have to start tying the branches back soon.

Week 8 - Final stage of flowering

Finale = 3 ml/L

E.C = 1.4
P.H = 5.7
Bulb = 250w mh

Total Veg Time = 7 Weeks


That's it for growth now, got some fox tailing going on too. Today the girls got 2L of ph'd water each to help shift any excess nutes, followed by 2L of water mixed up with some vitalink finale.
Light has been switched back to mh for trichome production, Never tried this before but thought I'd give it a go and see if it helps much, should run a bit cooler in there at least.
By next week most of this should be looking nice and autumnal, if all goes well should be harvest in two weeks time from today.

Week 8 - Clones

A+B = 0.7 ml/L
Silicon = 0.5 ml/L
Rootstim = 0.8 ml/L
Fulvic = 0.8 ml/L

E.C = 0.9
P.H = 5.8
Bulb = T5

Another 3-4 weeks and the flowering room should be ready for the clones, By then they should be a decent size and hopefully won't take long to fill the screen.

Are you gonna flower that mom Vador or keep it ? Sure looks raring to go. Room looks cock on mukka.
