Nice grow going on here. The entire Advaned Nutrient line...well, I'll be damned. And people have been telling me I have a lot of nutes, hah!

I can tell you guys have everything handled, but if you guys want any info to soak up and do what you want with, I can throw you a link to my grow because I'm growing with the entire arsenal of nutrients that a friend of mine, a 10 year + grower / hydroponic owner recommends and uses, having tested the products side-by-side. So far it's been amazing for me, and it'd definitely save you money in the future. And I / he uses coco as well.

Now, I know your guys' plants look really good right now anyhow, and it's interesting to watch the entire AN line at work, but yeah, I spent a lot of time talking to this guy about nutrients and how / when to use them and why, and I just want to kick the info to some others that can use it.

Thanks man...yeah, feel free to drop us that link. A grower we know and respect has been using Cutting Edge for the last couple grows and highly suggests we make the switch...what brand are you using?

I'm using the Canna line but with other stuff. Here's the link:
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/357870-third-grow-first-journal-purple.html

Title is a little misleading, but there's some good nutrient info in there. I think on page 2 is a little paint drawing I did that has the nutes and when to use them.

Flower Day 14 - 9/8

Alright, its been awile since updating this thing but weve been getting some great budsites and growth over the last week. Plants are loving the new food theyve been getting and have been responding really well. The Master Bubba just started showing flowers so im sure she'll be a little behind the rest (probably closer to mid-week 9 or week 10), but besides her, everything else has crazy flowers going. We rearranged the placement of the plants, so the left and right trays arent the same as the last pictures. Here we go...

The full tent in all her glory.

Left tray getting her grow on.

Right tray doing her thing.

Nice pretty Hindu Skunk flower.

Grape Ape budding.

A very healthy and happy Grape Ape, staked and stacked.

Another Hindu Skunk with multiple fat bud sites.

Light view.

Right tray from the left.

Front view of the right tray. Notice the Super Silver Haze who's taller and stringy-er than everyone else...definitely getting her sativa on.

Front view of everything...including my big ass big toe nail.

Budsites, budsites, budsites.

...and even more budsites, budsites, budsites.

Thats gonna wrap this edition of Growing With Funk & Watuptho. The OZN-1 is still working great, our Snow Cap mother is still on point, and the Battle Of The Buds is shaping up to be a pretty close race. Until the next time, peeeeaaaacccceeee.

Very nice setup. Doing it the right way. Whats your best advice to fight gnats? Thanks!!

TrynaGroSumShyt · Sep 11, 2010

i use neem oil, but there is better stuff im sure funk n watuptho got some better stuff, if they ever have problems.

Imaulle · Sep 11, 2010

very nice setup. very clean.

Where can I get some watering tubes like that? I want to setup something similar so I can just pour some water into a huge tank and it will water all of my plants without me even needing to go into the flower room lol

We dip all our clones in Neem Oil to kill any possible gnats & spider mites in the plants before we put them in pots. After that, if we start seeing gnats, there's a product called "Go-Gnats", which is basically cedar oil, that we mix into our food & it does a good job of killing them off. Another simple solution is to go get some playground sand & put a layer of it at the top of your pots. The gnats won't be able to dig thru the sand & will die before ever hitting the surface, set back of this method is that your plant's roots won't receive as much oxygen as a result.

You can pick up similar tubing/pump at any well stocked hydro store or any hardware store (homedepot) will have them. You will still have to mix nutes everytime so it's not completely automated, just makes it so you don't have to water every plant individually. To be honest, we took the tubing out after the first week. Mold under the tubing from run off water could have been a problem, and a clean/sterile growroom is always objective #1. Also, if you are gonna set up something like this, you don't have to use the rubber tubing, PVC works great too.

Alright so a recap since sept 10.
-We got spider mites. We killed them all successfully with SNS spray, large amount of CO2 over two consecutive nights, and then a Bomb the following night in the tent. Haven't seen them since.
-The bud sites are beginning to swell up and gain size.
- They're looking as if they'll be ready sooner than the 21 by a week and half or so. I checked with the 30x mag lens and the tiny tri's where already turning a milkishy complexion on the grape apes and hindu skunks.
-Needed to stalk several branches due to increase in size of nugs.

This Wednesday we will use final flush on them. Next week will only be distilled water before harvesting. Enjoy the pics I just put them to bed

PIC 4 theres a really tall one, which strain is that? Are any these photos the grape ape? Also, what is SNS spray and what bug bomb is safe while in flower? Looking great! What day of flower are you in right now?

watuptho · Oct 5, 2010

-Pic 4 is the super silver haze
-Pic 2, 3, 6, 8 have shots of the Grape Apes
-SNS Siera natural sciences 217tm patent pending. all natural spider mite spray safe to use late into flowering, I was told all the way up to flushing if needed. I forgot the bomb name but it was spider mite specific and it cost me $22, when i go back to the store I'll get the name for you. The bomb should NOT be used in the last four weeks of flowering. After the bombing I haven't seen any mites since.
-As of today October 5 its day 53 of flowering.

Just gave them final flush today and they'll only be receiving water from here on out. The Grape Apes (7) and the SSH (1) have definitely matured faster and we'll chop them Around Oct. 14-16. The remaining sno cap (2), hindu skunk (5) and master bubba kush (1) look like they're a few days behind will get the axe around October 18. This is based on the color of the trich's as of right now

The bomb didn't fuck with your plants?

It's plant safe, but as you can see in the pics Funkdock pointed it almost directly facing the snowcap and it burned two small stalks. Had he not done that they all would have been fine.
Point being don't aim directly at your plants and you're good to go. It should be your last resort if neem oil and SNS don't work
