the only product i have used of the house and garden range is the roots excel but based on that i would say they are good nutes. if you think that stinks you should smell rhizotonic:spew:

liking the not having to water the plants manually? stood on any pebbles and gone for a roll yet? lol

what can i say, i've been a very lazy boy over the holidays, it's been nice doing nothing and spending a bot of time with the family.

these plants need chopping today really, i'll probably leave them til the new year though lol

Looks like you have some weight on those branches.
I'm giving Hesi Power Clean a shot for enzymes this time.
Autos are finishing well, finally put in some real gear hope I don't
do them any injustice this is only the second grow in coir.
I'm putting in : Cherry Puff, Extrema, Purple Wreck x OG to start
then Dog and OG Kush.
:peace:

i'm expecting a big yield from the 3 blue pits alright. i've already smoked 140g in lowers and snapped branches. i took one arm from the cheese and that was 40g. it was very very dry too as i dried it in the grow room. all but gone now though :(

that is why i need to get chopping asap!.


some nice medicinal sounding strains there, you should get some great pheno types out of that lot. i'm sure you'll pick it up fast, multi straining might be an issue but once you get certain strains dialled in you can really get them to produce.
do you not have a journal or thread going OM? would love to see your girls.

I'm still trying to get a camera but fate and the taxman keep kicking my arse.
I think next month will be better but I do plan on posting some pics.
And of course I'll be picking everybody's brains once I get into it.

we got all done in the end. both gardens will now have down time whilst we make a few changes.


been smoking mainly cheese, they are both pretty heavy having had 13 weeks flowering.

i was pretty shocked at how much there was in the end. really wasn't expecting as much as i got so i'm really happy.

site A (2400w)

Billberry #1 340g (1 plant)
Billberry #2 225g (1 plant)
Cheese 440g (1 plant)
Blue pit 1090g (3 plants)

this is including the buds i smoked over christmas (140g blue pit and 40g cheese)

i just finished processing the blue pit this morning and i was practically dancing a jig whilst weighing it up, i must have a hundred 7g+ buds, even the lowliest of the popcorn is golf ball size and density.

from site B (1800w) we got

Blue pit 980g (9 plants)
Cheese 330g (3 plants)

these plants were a hell of a lot smaller than the ones at site A and they never bloomed for as long. we have had 4 full harvests from this garden this year so even though the yields aren't great we have done well overall. from site A there were only 2.5 harvests so it's clear to see that site B is producing more overall throughout the year.

just need to figure out what i'm going to do next. site B will be doing an sog run of the blue pit but site A is still up in the air. i have a lot of new genetics i want to try and also a new line up of organic nutrients for a little experiment.

It seems throwing them into flower early has it's payoff at the
end of the year, I think it is what I should do with only one room.
How old were they in site B when you flipped?
:peace:

exactly! some people will struggle to get the idea that big yields aren't necessarily big yields if you look at things in a different light. there are reasons why i choose to grow big plants and it's mainly laziness haha.

the plants at site B were around 2ft from the top of the pot at flip.


they never grew much taller because they were saturated by light and never had to stretch like they normally would to compete for light( the plant in the 15l pot ended up the tallest and most stretched). they would have filled in better but my partner took the scissors to them and lollipooped like we normally do, but seeing as the plants weren't vegged for as long ( in a bid to keep it to 4 full grows in a year) he didn't need to take off as much as he did.

I was thinking you flipped at around 2 feet with the timing of 4 grows.
Mine will be in 5 gallon pots but I have 3's available which do you
think would be better?

if you plan on re using the coco i would go with 5 gal, less chance of the pots getting filled up with thick roots that take a while to break down. it also means you can water less and the plants should stretch less too.

make sure to start a journal when you finally get a camera!

Thank you, Hydro is sending one and coaching me through the tech end with
the computer (this is my first one) so I can start a journal, I know it makes
it a lot easier for me to get help if you can see what I'm doing.
Sometimes I feel so stupid with these computer savvy guys around but I
could never afford one until now.
Again, thank you for mentoring me through this I appreciate it more than
I can ever say.
