Club 600

Whats up 600 pals. been a busy busy freekin week. Ive managed so far to keep 8 purps firmly rooted in the ground in gods country. I couldnt find the 3rd patch last trip. I was standing about 30 feet from it when i gave up thinking the critters got to them again. So yesterday me and my bro took a nerve wracking trip with all the rooted plants i had in the cave. About 35 and man am i glad we made it.

We had to roll right through the hood with totes full of blue widow and white widow yins. WOW do those lil bitches smell to the high heavens. Funny i didnt even order those 2 strains, they were freebies and they are the ones im most excited about. cool!!! And back to the story, My bro and I nervously snuck 11 plants out of the back of the truck and marched them into patch 1. probly the best one, cause its near a stream and good good natural soil. To my delite i see 3 purps standing 3ft tall and just growing massive. Im loving this shit. Then I notice a deer stand in the distance with the flaps open. I got a bit freaked out thinking a fkn turkey hunter may be up in there. Then about 5 min later i looked over again and the flaps where shut. My heart fkn jumped as im standing in front of god and the world with two arm loads of plants.

We hurried behind a thicket and watched the stand for a min and realized it was the wind gusting well i hope anyways... So we got the gals planted and decided fuck you if you dont like to rock the ganj. and that was that. I got the first lemon skunk lady in on this patch. Ok Iknow this aint my journal but i think yalls would enjoy the story so on to the "smote land" Dont ask its a retarded stoner name we dedicated to this patch. Its funny we talk in plain conversation about shit and people havent a fkn clue what we are chuckling about. Its just great This was the patch i lost and my bro remembered exactly where it was and holy fuck peeps!!! I wish i had my camera with me. Just a beautiful spread across a southern ridge. We originally put 11 purps in and ohh we got 4 left but GOT DAMN there huge and got a lil main cola going already. Thats weird i think. Its a bit too early for that. way early. Mybe this purp strain just flowers when its ready like those auto strains. I dunno. Anyways peeps they are looking good. Promise some pics this weekend. Got a load of blue widow trainwreck and strawberry haze ready for the land of smote. Alright end of my ramble or blether if you must lol..

As fot the purple weed ive only seen it a few times and the purp strain im growin is from some purple bud i had. It looked much like GGs and i hope it turns out as nice as yours did GG. Yeah the purp thing is indeed a hip hop hyped up thing. Agreed.

Headsup I love your avatar bro. I remember a ways back on the 600 you wearing that shirt in one of your pic posts, and i chuckled then and now. Love it my nug.

Mcp & DST good luck with your strawberries. Sounds quite interesting. I Started growing some house plants and im just loving the whole raising part of it. Cant wait to get some gosh darned fruit haha.

And to everyone I missed, Bump. Rock on peeps 1BMM out

whats up 600...i just wanted to give an update for you 600 lovers this is the pk week 5 day 3 only a week and a half left cant wait..

DST said:

good call, Jig glad someone knows about hydro.....is that the Querkle finished, will take a squint at yer journal in a mo. Looking braw!

Mistakris, very nice indeed. You teaching and growing at the same time (alphabet poster)? lol.

And Mr West, thems does look good. I think you might see the 600 show through on yer next full run.

Dankypot, just grow them up and leave the lower or new growth shoots until you go into flower. Then just chop all the back and they won't grow back because you are in the flower period. Top it or LST until you get your main 8 branches, then veg up until you got your size, then trim back all the stuff you don't want and into flower....I think I wrote the saem thing kinda twice sop hopefully you can make sense of it all.

Don and his funny animal pics and moustaches...nice Avatar lad!

Take it easy lads and lasses.

Hey, DST, do you think 8 branches will maximize the yield? Im doing an experiment soon where Variable A will be topped and 4-8 branches will be left when i enter flowering, and Variable B will have 4 branches that are topped so each branch has 2 flowers equaling 8 branches with the top LST'd.

4x4x6.5 ft also switched to advanced nutrients sensi grow/bloom. Got me 3 euforia's 5 weeks into flower. 2 C99 x Deep Chunk and 2 Lapis Mountain Indica's are 2 weeks in flower

Masonman glad u had another safe trip with the clones and in the woods. and sounds like ur gonna have quite a few plants come harvest time. cant wait for some pics if u get some.

and nice plants williewill. tent looks nice sittin in the corner. the sides almost look like my reflector i have for my 600.



Ok so i am not growing for myself so its hard to post marijuana pics. so i will be up dating my veggie garden for a few every once in awhile so i dont crowed the MJ growing thread into something else. i made my raised beds. they are both ten ft long and 4 feet wide and 1 foot deep. i am also gonna dig out about 2 fet or so to make a nice 3 foot hole for them to sit over. these are not the permanent spots for them they will go in their spots once i rototill the ground and dig it out and then fill with my compost. the compost is from a local place called Jo-gro's its great stuff and its only 11 dollars for a yard of it witch is alot of compost
a yard is theri big loader buckets full about half truck load. it is strong stuff so i will be mixing it with black gold water hold most likely cuz it is also hella cheap and good soil. the compost is all organic and feed for up to the first 3 months so no feeding for awhile. i am gonna use this compost on my next MJ grow to see how it works for them and then once they get hungry feed them some of the Oregon worm tea i am gonna get. also for my strawberry babies i just filled another 5 gal bucket with dirt and placed it next to the strawberries and placed the baby shoot in the pot and a few down in the dirt so the will grow roots. once they root i will cut it fro the mother so i can separate them and not move as one

ok this is not my info i was told about it on my thread show me what u got LST. its called MRs and here what it is this is from my lst thread posted by another grower who claims to used it for 2 years now. i find it very interesting and a cool way to clone. well here it is.

OK guys just in case you are new or have absolutely no clue what im talking about im gonna toss this one out there for the people in the cheap seats...

you keep hearing me and JumboSwisher talking about MRSing a plant and how it increases yield.. here is the basics...the only catch is you have to know how to clone a little (don't really have to be good at it really) and you have to have the guts to cut up your plant (not really cut it up but you will get the gist shortly)

MRS stands for Multiple Rooting Sites

you will be basically creating a entirely stand alone rooting structure and feeding system for your plant which will supplement the plant in such a way as to allow it to constantly run with its nutrient uptake going full throttle 24/7 (this will also help with the metabolizing of micro nutes and allow more of them to enter the system also just by design)

all you have to do is break out your rooting hormone and your scissors and pick a bottom branch that is nice and fat and low hanging ... something that would normally make a killer clone

now we are going to sacrifice this future monster clone for the sake of the plant..

you take this branch and instead of clipping a few nodes back and then using it to clone ...you cut off the end of it creating the same 45 degree angle you would normally make on a clone and scar it the same as a clone also... just like its the end of a clone getting ready to put it in your clone box or growing medium

you will now have a branch with a clone end sticking out where the bud site would normally be...
now the same as cloning you need to wet it and dip it in rooting hormone ( powder .. gel ... whatever)
and you will want to take this butchered branch and put it at least a inch into the soil below the plant bending it down into the dirt and making sure it wont pop back out again

what you have just done was make a alternate rooting site for the plant and as soon as it takes hold in about a week or 10 days you will see a sudden burst of vigor out of your plant and you will want to cut your nutes back to half strength

this is the only drawback and one of the major money savers for the high priced nutrient buying crowd out there...

with twice the rooting zone now occupying the pot it is utilizing more of the soil mass and also pulling out locked out nutrients the original root structure couldn't hope of getting so it will fill the plants gas tanks up pretty quickly and will also utilize the new incoming nutrients on a much more efficient scale which makes for less nutes left in the soil ... less nutes needed to maintain the plant at peek... and a plant that is getting just as much as it can handle on a full time basis increasing yield to huge potential...

all i can say is try it ... buy all means prove me wrong if you can... i have been using this technique for about 2 years now since i thought it up in a stoned stupor one night while taking clones and it has not failed me yet

Thanks Mcpurps! Im loving the tent too, its easy for me to control the temps and humidity in there plus my plants are soaking up all the light now. I used to have my 600 hanging from my ceiling in the corner of the room...wasting alot of valuable light thruout the entire room

i harvest my buds today and got 546g/4.8oz per plant for a total of 4 plants. i am on cloud 9 right now. all grade A+ buds. they both smell really good. smoked a bowel and all the ash turned grey, so my flushing and the way i do my plants before harvest worked again, nice clean buds with no nutes that turn black after ur bowl is done. the HS weigh more then the XJ-13, so next thats the strain i am keeping in my collection. because it was only 26" or around their and it did that good, so if it was a little bigger then it probably would do great. both nugs are very very frosty but way different from each other so its hard to compare them. all nugs are very dense, but the HS were more solid, i am glade i didnt use gravity or i would have gotten mold probably.lol

is this yield respectable for a 600w light from 4 plants? i would love to here ur feedback since this is my 1st 600w grow.

Thanks!

sweet.....yum,yum

is that dosent, because others on different sites are telling me i didnt even come close to matching a 600w hps, i dont know what to think? should i be happy or disappointed? its nice to get advice from some real 600w growers on a 600w thread.

4.8 oz average per plant is a great harvest in my book. Those other guys are BSing you only because you use Led. I bet they cant grow plants that put out 4 and a half ounces Lol

thanks man. i was all happy last night, until they said that and is kinda killed my high. then i was thinking maybe i did a shity yield? they are just comparing my grow to a 1.g/w hps grow. everyone seens to thinks every grower growing with HID gets 1g/w. so my leds should. i can tell you 1st hand its real hard to hit 1g/w with HID. not everyone dose it.

thanks for clearing that up. +rep

if you leave your plants going longer is it normal for the points on the tops to start leafing out? i can exactly explain, but ive allowed my plants to go 7 days over the "63" days that it says they should take, so im at day 70. i thought the buds just die if it goes too long rather than the buds looking like they are regenerating

as long as you can not see light threw the bud,its a good grow by me............i mean,
as long as it makes you happy.........and it was worth your time.then grow on.......

Irish, great harvest in my book. What's important, are you happy with it? That's all that matters.

Some strains will do that. My euforia and jorge diamond's plants are mature at 8 weeks then around week 9 they start to produce news calyx's and spit out wads of white hairs. Maybe its something to do with crossbreeding sativas and indicas because i notice my indica plants dont do that.

Well, its a grand daddy purple. im debating to worry and just cut today so i dont lose more bud, or if i should just let them go longer like i planned on doing

isnt it called fox-tailing? ive heard certain nutes will cause this? something like the nutes trick the plant into thinking is just starting budding but in truth its just finishing.
