Sheeps Blood Grow Journal #2

Well here I am again at an attempt to grow the commercial. This time it's in a safe secured place where no one can eat it MY DOGS, I have 2 and they are small dogs that love the smell of Mary's aroma.

This is my setup as follows...
a)Following cheat sheet that came with B.C Starter Kit $30.00 plus SH or $40.00 at my Hydro store down the way.
Rootech Cloning Gel/7g, B.C Grow/500ml, B.C Boost/500ml, B.C Bloom/500ml, Thrive Alive B-1 Red/125ml, Thrive Alive B-1 Green/125ml, Awesome Blossoms/125ml, MagiCal/125ml, SugarDaddy/250ml, and ROOT 66/250ml

b) 7.0
c) FOX's Ocean Forrest potting soil in 1 gal pots. Also Rockw00l for testing cloning.
d) 80 F
e) 18/6 (40 days this is the VEG Plan), 12/12 (40 days for bloom)
f) EVEN days nutrient based / ODD days plain water based (Bottled; reverse osmosis w/electrolytes)
g) As pictured below, these are the lights I'm using. Except for that I have 1 42w (150w) 2700k light cause I'm too lazy or cheap to get more 6500k lights
I have 4 6500k cfl's 26w(100w) and 4 2700k cfl's (3-26w/1-42w)



I will post below my crazy setup and Plants.

Looking for a light that can put out more than your current girlfriend or wife... Here she is and she comes in diffrent shapes and sizes. The awesome part about them is that they are inexpensive and need only a reasonably cheap fixture due to their increased male adapter size. You can use the same socket type as your HPS/MH use, minus the ballest.

The normal bulbs I use currently I got in the lighting dept in Walmart. Of course they don't say BETTER THAN AN HPS or MH on them, I Photoshoped that on them. I see them at every walmart I go to so you should have no problem finding them if you have a Wally WOrld near by. Also a pack of 2 costs about $7.00. I was just there and thinking of buying some more.

Oooooo 1 week Flower Wahooo

Interesting i'm curious to see how fat your buds will actually be. How big were the plants when you started flower? I'm also in the 604, I noticed all the bc nutes,though thats not what i use. I use General Hydroponics micro, gro, bloom. Thats all i've ever used, could you take a pic of the ingredients maybe?
Any ideas which is better? What strain are you growing? Last question.. where can i go locally to get seeds as opposed to ordering (if you are actually in the Vancouver area.

My grow

The picture above is one plant
I havn't put pics on of my other. I have two in flower and 10 clones that are not potted.



I'm actually in Arizona, as for the B.C nutes; that was a package deal they had at my hydro store. Although I have seen alot of AD's for seed places in Canada but I believe they are closer towards Montreal/Quebec regeion. I used to frequent Montreal when I lived in Maine.

I started flowering on 1 untouched plant at appx 12in and the other I couldn't tell you because I pulled a Bonsai tree bending technique. I totally suggest you bend plants over and curve them into a bushy plant. If you have never done so you will be so impressed how cool it looks.
When my clones reach 6 inchs I am going to start bending one and see how far I can take it for an indoor grow. If youdon't see pics of it for awhile just keep checking, it might be a month before I have enough results to show something worth while.
They have only been flowing for a week but I have tons of those white hairs (pistil's). Wicked cool that this CFL technique works.
Ok now I am not letting you in on a secret but I have decided to share now. I have been using the SUN during my days off for the majority of the day. I love the SUN, it makes such a diffrence to the plants. They get all the spectrum they need and get those UVB's I am planning on flowing my last 2 weeks completly outdoors so I can get the max outta these. I will just remove them at the 12th hour to retreat to bed for them.

By the way the strain is "Crappy Commercial" LOL well it was decent commercial and I lucked out that both ended up being female considering the bag was seedy. Hope it's not a HERMI. I havn't read much on HERMI's. Like how does a plant become a HERMI? Is it a male that fertilizes a female or does it just grow with seeds. So if I have a female with no males around shouldn't it stay female till I smoke that bitch

I just got home and my bedroom stinks like bud fierce like. I will post current pixs shortly... Like in a few mins

ime using the same nutes

a female can morfedite out with out a male around which means it can turn male not likley but it does happen plants look good man keep up the good work

So here is the state of one of my plants when it was in VEG. under 6500k cfl bulbs.

For a bigger glance
Vegging State

Here it is 3 weeks into flower

Also here is a closer shot of one of the BUDS. You tell me if CFL's produce ~ Less Dense or lighter buds cause it sure feels dense if I squeeze one.

I find it a strange thing for one of God's creations to have the ability to turn Hemi in the middle of blooming without any outside fertilization. I still don't believe in this, I strongly feel it's a myth. If that could happen then a male should be able to do the same. Why our really good bud stays seed free is because of good farmers that recognise males when they start showing signs of manliness. Anyways Im not arguing I am just sharing my opinion on it so please don't worry over my thoughts on it. Yet maybe ponder and research on it. I know I will.

Thank you for your comments and please come again and check out whatever pics I might drop in. Currently I have 6 clones crowing from one of these plants. I plan on doing a SoG in that grow box I built. It will work perfect! Also I just picked up a new light... Check it out Brotha!!!

Lights of America 100watts. Got it at home depot. I just like the replacment cost of the bulbs versus the $40 ones with built in ballests, these are only $9-19 for a new bulb
