SpicySativa's Organic Garden

Garden looks good spicey. What kind of light is that?

I really like your pipe. Gonna see if I can find one like it

It's a 4-foot 6-bulb T5 light. I'll keep them under it for a few more days then fire up the metal halides.

Search around for a "hash hammer", and you'll find what you're looking for.

Top... LST... Supercrop... Au naturale... Decisions decisions....

Plants seem to love lemon juice in the water!

I vote for Mainlining!

Just got back from a week in Maui, and was happy to see that the clones kicked into gear a little while I was gone. I transplanted them into these 2-gal pots and set up a drip irrigation system before I left. It's plumbed straight to my Small Boy water filter with a hose end irrigation timer. Works like a charm.

What's up, RIU?

Time for a quick update. All's well in the garden, even though I've been so busy lately I haven't given it much attention. The powdery mildew they brought with them from the club has not showed up again since I treated with Green Cure and stuck them in a healthy environment.

They've just been getting straight water other than one dose of fish hydrolysate a couple days before I transplanted to the 10-gal pots. Should be ready to flower in about a week or so. Then the real fun begins.

Looking lush and green! How was Maui?

Thanks, Mo!

Maui was fantastic. I really wish I could have stayed longer...

My father lived there and I spent some amazing times there. It is a magic place

It really is...

We stayed in Kihei, mostly for the simplicity (my girlfriend's family, including the young nephews, were along for the trip). Kihei was a little touristy for my tastes, but it didn't take much driving to get out into some beautiful countryside.

The highlight for me was driving the south route back to Kihei from
Hana. That road was amazing...

When my father passed, my aunt and I drove that road for the first time. We only made it to here:




Cheers,
Mo

I remember that very section of the road. Good stuff!

The locals drive it way faster than I ever would!

They sure do. I can see why the rental car companies tell you not to drive that road.

Brainstorming for next round...

I'm thinking about doing next run a little differently, just to keep things interesting... Maybe something like 24 clones in 2 gallon pots for an organic "SOG" style grow with just a week or two of veg time. I'd definitely have to feed a few teas along the way, but it sounds like a fun experiment with a quick turnaround time. I already have the pots, soil, and drip irrigation ready to go, so why not?

just make sure you have big cola strains.

If I go this route, I'll be running Atomic Northern Lights. It chunked up pretty well for me last time.

Vegetating along nicely despite some warmer-than-ideal temps...

This is the trickiest time of the year to keep my cabinet's temperature in check. The ambient temps in my basement climb up to around 73 during the day, making it tricky to keep my cab temps in the sweet spot (even though I run the lights at night).

Looking great, spicy. What are you running this round?
