another go. yelodrvr

the set up is in this grow. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/129393-yelodrvrs-next-attempt.html it ended short due to a recurring personal problem. (WIFE)

if your like me and to lazy to read for the info, just ask. any advice, suggestions, or dialog is encouraged.


the seed are from nirvana, a mixed pac. included was 2 of each. afghan, skunk#1, master kush, PPP, and a breeders special.

i have to give nirvana some credit, 3 orders so far with no problems. the last one was not stealth at all, but it arrived in 4-5 days.

i germinated 6 of them in the paper towel method. folded them up and sprayed some water on them, then placed them in a baggie. i put them on the tower to the computer for the heat.

January 12

january 14
all cracked.


january 15
i use 1" round rockwool, these have slit down the side. i place the seedling tap root down.


i use 2" net pot. i use something to hold the slit in the rockwool together. hydrontron. rubberband, or a piece of rockwool.
]
i use a dome for seedlings. and spray it and the net pots twice a day. i try to keep the rockwool wet, but not soaked.


january 25
after roots grow out of the bottom of the rockwool, i layer hydroptron in the bottom of a 3" net pot. i fill arounds the side of the rockwool. i either use hydrotorn to pack it rockwool into the netpot, or i will use neosprene collars.

no nutes yet. just plain water.

PH to 5.5
res temp 65f
light on 70f

well thats it for now. i will try to post the rest tomorow. as of today i am about 1 or 2 weeks in to flower. not for sure yet, will have to get throigh the pics to see.

i should have mentioned that when i put the seedlings in the net pots (1/31) i had moved all plants from the dome to the cloner. here is a link to a tute i put together on the cloner. http://www.marijuanagrowing.eu/cloner-by-yelodrvr-t31484.html


i had started nutes way to late. you can see the deficiency's in the pics. i had used r/o water this time. i think the tap water in the past had enough nutes in it to sustain the plants in past grows.

february 7

PH to 5.5

at this point i had added nutes to a ppm of 500.



2 days later the damage is evedent.

a few days later and they bounce back with new growth. some plants have been stunted drasticly. dumped the ppm to 700

i have grown bigger plants in the past. i decided to veg for a shorter time. since there where stunted growth in a few plants i flipped them on 2/15.

i started with 6. 2 are dead at this point. 2 are rather small compared to the others.

february 15

the plant in the last 2 pics had some deformities from the beginning. here are a few older pics.



february 16



things now starts to go haywire. the temps at night where getting very low. 55f sometimes. i managed the best i could but more damage was done. i think the low reservoir temp locked out the nutes. hence the pic of deficiency's. then you can see the wilting on the leaves, caused from the low temps.

its been a month since the last pics. the daughter was mad at me during this time, she took her camera and went home to mom house.

at this point i had fixed the cold temp problems by changing the lights off period to the day time, when the outside temps would be warmer. the temp used to get as low as 50f during light off. now they are back to normal. 65f-75f. only problem was that the damage was done. 3 of the 4 plants herimed on me. what would you expect with all the nute and temp problems. so there is one left. but i did start the other 4 seeds from this mixed pack of seed. i also threw in 3 bag seed, hoping maybe i could get a couple the throw outside.

i flipped this plant on feb 15 and its just now showing sex. maybe all the problems caused it to show so late. IDK. so i guess you could say this is day 1 of flower.

again the spoiled little brat and her $400 camera went home to cry to mom and i am stuck with the blackberry.

march 19

the other 4 seeds from this mixed pack of seed and a few bagseed that will come to rest in a old fishing spot of mine. they are without the neosprene collars.

everything smothed out at this point. the reservoir and room temps are consistent.

the plants in the cloner are looking much better than the last batch. after about 1.5 weeks i bumped the ppm of the cloner to 300. no defecincys. growth is good. the temps in the cloner area are much warmer than the flower. but the root seem to be ok.

i am going to borrow a good camera tonight. i will have some better pics. this pic is from yesterday. i started to see signs of sex around the 16 of march. so i guess this would be the begining of week 3 of flower.

anybody out there? nod if you can hear me! WTF?

anyway, here are a few pics with a better camera. i only had a few minutes with the camera so the pics where rushed.

here is a few of the seeds in the cloner. i flipped them today. i cant have big trees. so i flower under the t5s untill the 1000hps has some room. i got a head of my self. should have waited for the one in flower to be farther along.






and a few from the toy.

theres is like two people who come in here, and neither of you say a fucking word.

ok ok, i know i call my self i pic whore, then show you some pics taken from a blackberry. well i still dont a have a good camera, but i have the next best thing, a a great borrowed camera. still a little rust with it. i will stop posting all the shit pics, and try to steal this camera once a week or so.

on the plants. the one in flower is at the middle of week 7. if i remember right i flipped on feb 15.

a few more pics

april 25 about day 41 of flower

dang, them buds lookin pretty good man. subscribed and + rep

thanks for stopping in joker. first real attempt at something other than bag seed. wish i knew what this plant was. it came from a mixed pack from nirvana. it could be afghan, skunk #1, PPP, master kush, or nirvana"s special. i have three more going i think they are the master kush. this one looks like PPP that i have seen in other grows but IDK. white widow and wonder woman fem. are on deck. i will post pic of the other three later tonight.

they didnt label them?

no labels, probably why they where only $33

The rest of the mixed pack of seeds. i flipped them on april 4. they showed sex round the 14. so this would be beginning of week 3

plant 1


plant 2


plant 3

damn, my two mini bushes both showed their sex today and it took them one day shy of three weeks to show, but it was well worth the wait when i saw small hairs on the tops of both of them today when i was doing laundry, your plants are lookin nice man

been awhile. the big plant is at day 54 of flower in these pics.

you can really see the damage from the past now that the buds are swallowing up the small green fan leaves.

i panicked at first and started flushing. i though it was more damage, but when i looked back at old pics its the same damage just more noticalbe now.

i read up on the strains in the mixed pack of seed which this plants came from. out of the five strains 3 have a flower time of 10-11 weeks. now i feel i need to feed again. there is still not much amber. i still dont know what to do. so i guess i will continue flushing for a few more days and wait to see if any more amber show. if not i will start feeding.

unless you guys have a better idea?




these are from the same pack of seeds. they are at day 26 of flower.
