mixin's nycd grow - new york city diesel

finally got around to post some pics of my nyc diesel grow. grown organic in pro-mix with botanicare, advanced nutrients, b'cuzz etc... vegged/cloned under 250mh & flowered under 250hps with Co2

here it goes from the start

thanks attitude!!!!!!!!!!!



poking its head out




loving the 250 metal halide from the beginning!




nycd #1 got covered with hydroton to make watering easier



nycd#1 getting fatter



clones pulled from the bottom and into the about to go into 12/12




from above




first day under hps


finally buds are forming!!!!! and plants are really reaching for the sky...



beautiful little nugs are forming everywhere




reaching higher still, about to be supercropped...




clones are bubbling away



revegged some nugs that were already 6 weeks into flowering. they really look weird for a few days until regular weed leaves begin to appear again.




supercropping was necessary or they would be outside the tent by now. i learned here not to try to rebend at a joint or it will crack the stalk.




nice angles make way for more light


anoher supercrop pic




and again




and again




looking up through the canopy




and another




my prized posession so far. my nycd #1 girl has formed a forked head on the top cola! i have healthy clones of this one. i hope they all fork out like this! day 29




gotta love it! so far nyc diesel is an amazing plant. can't wait to see how it smokes. currently this is at day 29 flowering

its called a "raft rooter". they are like $100 but they are worth it if you ask me. i like how the clones float on the water. i could easily get 50 clones going at once with it. i know i could make something similar that would work the same but everything is done right with this system. the res is extra strong so it doesn't bend when dumping out the old water, the 4 floating mats are really durable and make it super easy to look at you clones from top to bottom whenever you want. i am diggin it

the dark roots are from using liquid karma (use it!!!)


nice healthy clones

interesting...

they claim 100% success rate with the raft rooter and being my first cloning experience i got 100% rooted clones. from now on though i am going to really let the clones veg out a little longer in the cloner to get really healthy before transplanting to soil. next time i am not going to use rooting hormone powder when i take clones because it dropped the ph way too much and i believe it slowed the rooting process honestly. next run will just be straight into water with a little liquid karma, hygrozyme, pure blend pro grow and b'cuzz root stimulator

here are some more shots of my girls. they are really budding nice! tight little nugs everywhere around the bottoms and they are filling out nicely on the top, super-cropped main colas.

i realized that i was getting a little nute burn looks on the tips of my leaves. i learned that when i water my plants, i must remove all the runoff water from the container that catches it so that the roots don't sit in that salty mix. learned not to do that again! hopefully it won't effect them much as they are now in day 35 of flowering.

here are some pics. keep in mind that i have them all tied up with fishing line to prevent them from hitting the lights!

sorry for the lack of updates here. i just don't have time to update more than one journal so i have decided to just update my journal over here

my girls are looking good on day 42 now. just started with molassas so i hope they start bulking up! hope you like

LOOKS AMAZING! im sooo stoked, im trying out my 1st grow w/ 150 w hps and about 420w of cfl power. hopefully it turns out like this!

If you could id love some feedback on my grow. check out the sig if ud like

can i ask u something??
