Will be doing sea of green to start at the new pad so ended up taking a bunch of cuts, figure 25 for a 5x5 area or so in 1 gal square pots and 4" floraflex caps and Rockwool mini cubes. Probably just animal cookies and Bubba kush.

I think I'm done with black lime, even though it smells phenomenonal and yields great, it took me FOREVER to trim. I trimmed 2 lb of animal cookies in 5 hrs. It took 8+hr to trim 1 Lb of black lime! Fuck that! I'm dying :(


I still have these 2 mamas, they are beauts but gonna have to chop em cuz they're too big to move :( rip Bubba and black lime

Looks like the new cloner is doing its job :) will have to get the mama tray culled and cleared off to make room for the rooted clones one of these days.

Hope everyone had a better weekend than mine
I keep the vents closed all the way until roots start poppin. Once they start poppin, I open the vents. Lift lid and blow on them once a day;-)
Exciting to move and own your own pad,happy for you!
By the way,now is the time for me to reread all the details in your grow journal here...since I got shut down for outdoor growing here in Calaveras,and will only be growing in my garage indoor.
Hope to get dialed in by following your program.....Thanks Alpha
That sucks man:-(
I thought Calaveras county was going to remain being down with growing outdoor?
Did you end up going with those slabs?

You can grow outdoor in most places here,except in the R1 zone like we are living at.
I have the 4 slabs ready to go,just got to set up the drip system and finish off adding a 12x12 wall,got some seeds from my Berry White harvest going.
When I saw your Voltage Bill the other day,I was impressed!

Thanks brother! I'm loving the cookies a lot, I really want to try a few other cookie strains out soon :)

Much appreciate that bro!! I think we get the keys in a few days :) man that freaking blows!!! Did chopper fly over or something? I thought calvaras was a good County? I'm glad to help ya with any indoor questions for sure bro

I see. I get too ocd sometimes when trimming like trying to make every bud perfect.
Dude me too lol, I even pick which little leaf tips to leave on for visual pleasure lol. The reason the black lime takes so long is because of all the leaf crevices ugh, hate it

I just cracked em for about 12 hrs yesterday because a few a popping roots out :) just about as fast as the ez cloner except just smaller roots, then again not all my cloner roots are busting like crazy so I think it's on par, I think I'll be switching to the root riots soon

Haha yeah man. Indica dominant bud structure is easiest to trim. They're like little golf balls and are super dense.

Just hit week 6 for the animal cookies. After playing around a bit, I figured out cookies need a long drying out period which allows them to grow much bigger buds. The rockwool croutons will do the trick :) Its too late to fix the micro buds but 1/2 of the cookies are fine and growing normal because they had a big root structure which allows them to dry out between waterings.

Also got the first batch of rooted cuts into the solo cups :) they're gonna love the croutons. I used the croutons for a cycle I think last year and they did ok, but there was a watering issue I recall but they still did well. This round I'll be having a dry out time once a week to maintain a healthy root system in veg and flower

Wish the veg room a farewell :( she's done her job nicely, but it's time to move on. I hate that it looks so empty :( I hope whoever lives here next treats her well and keeps her clean.

Now as I always do, I count chickens before they hatch, but I'm usually close luckily. But I need good vibes now because I ditched the mamas and am counting on every clone to root now lol.

Anyways, on to a new chapter. I'll be closing this thread and starting a new one once I'm up and running. Hope to see you all soon when I'm back. Have a great rest of the summer, be safe. And always keep those thumbs green :bigjoint::peace:

Don't get me wrong, v+b works great. Easiest I've used (I don't use any Cal mag with it, just v+b). But I don't use any boosters with maxi either, just some calmag at 1ml per gallon. I'm just curious since now my gardens in the sweet spot now, I wanna try some maxi in flower (I'll always use v+b in veg I got the stuff so dialed in for veg). I'm expecting the v+b to do better in flower as well but just want to make sure in a side by side. If the Quaiity / quality is similar I'm gonna switch to maxi for flower but if not (I'll be taking in all factors), if any decrease in any aspect I'm sticking to v+b. But 4-500 a month of savings using maxi is alot, but not if it sacrifices any output
Interested to see this comparison

So I switched to ro and much better but I'm still getting some yellowing. Any ideas? I know some is a little nute burn on the tips but not sure about the yellowing. I'm at 1090ppm using calmag, veg bloom, and their booster called shine.

Looks like N def. Leaves starting to yellow from the tips, they get all yellow and die eventually? Looks like my problem. Yellowing in the middle of the plant, just the old, big leaves, where the light is more intense. That's my theory anyway. I started to push some CaMg, it is 4.0.0...
