White rhino and s.a.g.e. n' sour grow

sloeginfizz · #1 10-06-2007, 04:00 PM

I'm back from a short break. picked up some new things for my 3rd grow. finally picked up a ph meter. i thought my water was around 7-8 ph but after testing i found out its more like 9.5-10 ph. now on to the good stuff.

i ordered nirvana white rhino seeds from dr chronic. i only germinated 6 of the 10 seeds. i'm saving 4 for the next grow if i can't get healthy clones. out of those 6 all of them cracked. i was only planning on doing these for the time being, but a buddy of mine, bless his soul, he had some s.a.g.e. n' sour to smoke and found a single seed and saved it for me. haha. so i have a total of 7 starting veg today.

i'm using a 12 zone hydro drip system based on the greenman video for veg and a 6 zone hydro drip for bloom. also using 3 part general hydroponic nutrients. six 4ft fluorescents for veg and a 600 w hps for bloom.

more updates to come.

day 10 of veg.

going to run half strength nutrients for a couple more days then switch to full strength. all the plants are looking good. u can tell the sage apart from the rhinos already. half the height and a darker shade of green.

day 13 of veg.

i cleaned out the res and ph'd fresh water for the full strength nutrients. also added superthrive to the res. had to raise the lights today. the 6 rhinos are about the same height. the sage is so little in comparison. has anyone else grown a sage or sage n sour?

day 33 of veg.

lots of pics for this update. ph is staying around 5.7 - 5.9. plan on cleaning the res and moving things around for the areo cloner. i'm going to install a rail so i can hang some cfls underneath the plants in veg and put the cloner where the res is currently located. there should be enough room for it once i move some junk still in the closet. going to start flowering 4 of the rhino's within a week. the other 2 and the sage n sour are going to be moms once i clone and sex them. next update should be a big one. stay tuned.

Day 34 of veg.

Finally have some time off to finish the upgrades to the flowering closet. To tackle the odor issues i installed an elf carbon filter with some bungee cord. it has a 4 inch flange attached to a 4 to 6 reductor. i had to drill out a couple rivets so i could mount the 6 in fan to draw outwards from the filter. there is a 6 inch fan for fresh air when the room is sealed during the dark hours and for circulation during daylight. i also plan on using bud blood for the first time. picked up a 40 gram sample pack to try out. also going to top the 4 rhino's tonight and start flowering in a few days after they recover from the shock. stayed tuned.

Day 1 of flower.

I started 4 of the rhinos today. Mixed up a 6 gal batch of nutrient solution with a ratio of 2/2/2. Budblood and superthrive added also. should have some good news in a week or so. the remaining rhinos and the sage will be cloned. they are still bendable so i'll try to maximize things with a little LST.
