It would separate in solution - shake bottle and hear the bits and pieces rattling around. I moved over to GH MAXIBLOOM ( Powder ) not only for better shelf life but ease of use . Maxibloom can run a plant from start to finish . Foliage pro is the better one over original.

I have been training the White Wedding plants and a top. They have been growing well since beginning LST.
I am in no hurry to flip them so I will just keep shaping it. I also have an Ethos Auto Cookie in stretch / preflower.

Cali heat ( 96-103° ) over the weekend has been a slight issue - minor tacoing . But have managed to keep them ok.
Lookin good! Will def keep an eye on my Dynagro bottles.

Are those White Wedding seeds or cuts?

Blackbird-

I’m combining all HLG grows under this one journal .
The Blackbird grow will be listed here. Well got the AC infinity 8” finally and installed it.

I picked the 2 new ( hempy ) strains i plan to run under this rig.

DNA Genetics- Cataract Kush ( LA confidential x OG kush )

Ethos Thug Roze ( roze zkittlez x lilac diesel )

No males please ( Jesus take the wheel ).
They will be popped in rooter plugs first.

Blackbird -

Well decided to jump right into the meat and potatoes of this rig ….. flowering. I talked it over with the cats and they agreed to flip some plants under this bitch straight away. So , I decided I would flip the Ethos White Weddings and one of my Cherry Soda Twist plants into flower. Cherry Soda will get some pruning as it stretches out over time.

They are primed and ready to go - fed them a kelp watering today. Plants are green and mean. I plan to continue LST on the White wedding plants to further shape them. So this plant Trifecta is now under Blackbird at 12/12 starting today. The Auto cookie is all by its lonesome under 3x3 QB304 RIG.

I guess the Blackbird will have to show its potential straight away under flower. I do still have to finish the passive inlets ( maybe fanned ? ) cuz cats like to crawl thru there and need to use or block it. Black bird is literally on like the 3rd knob setting as I figure out the sweet spot as plants acclimate you this beast.

Again thank you @pop22 and HLG.

Added my SunBlaze T5HO lamp ( 8 bulb ) back into rotation. However , I had to ghetto it up for now this way.
I don’t trust my ceiling hooks ( damn thing is kinda heavy ) so looking for a cleaner option ( stands ? )
Storage bins do not touch bulbs - there is plenty of clearance.

Not sure what I can use but for now it’s up. :bigjoint:

Second Grow -

Did some changes , wanted to get the Blackbird going so I moved 3 plants over to that and left the Ethos Auto Cookie all by its lonesome under the QB 304 light. She seems happier. QB 304’s are humming along just fine.

She is still under 18/6 and is stacking up. Sweet doughy smell from her. I am ratcheting down the nitro a little bit but so far so good.
She will mostly be original shape as grown. She’s over 3 foot now and still purring along in her 1 gallon grow bag.

Well , looks like the girls have got their pubes and beginning preflower. I don’t even have rig on half power.
I used a light meter to put 800 umoles on canopy. Plants love this rig. The Ethos Auto still has time to go and is stacking up and reeking.

Clone time -

Took a few cuttings while I watered them today - they transpire very quickly under this rig. I literally re-water every other day.
Today I also added a dry fertilizer to buffer the preflower stage and stretch …… Recipe 420 Ultra Bloom 2-8-8 .

Cuttings are from Ethos White Wedding. I used a simple rooting powder and liquid Clonex soaked rooter plug.
I don’t have a tall Cloner box , so I improvised with a cake topper lol. I have used this before , but wife not too happy.
Lighting is the Sunblaze T5HO rig under 24/0.

Dry fertilizer for current plants.

First Grow - Barney’s Bitch fest


I usually give a “ breeder “ a couple of chances on their gear …. Like Tangerine Dream. That shit was mutated and had irregularities.
Bought a 5 pack and all grew strange - enough to just cull the fucking things.

Now , I was hoping the Ayahuasca Purple would redeem them ….

Flowering is rather strange - calyx off shoots and feed sensitive. I had to drop feed ppm from 900 to 700 ish ( for now ). They are really showing some excess N for some reason on a low N bloom. I am seeing clawing. That may be a contributing factor to the flower formation. They smell pretty good but they are ugly bitches. All the other plants from others , look good and grow well. But with Barney’s I get a lot of issues.

Of the 2 , one is flowering ok , while the other is throwing strange calyx growth. Temps are 80 ish and my other Cherry Twist looks great , just these two god damn plants. Gotta a feeling it’s gonna probably foxtail kinda nasty. Part of the reason why I took clones from other plant , in case these get tossed.


PLANT 1 : UGLY BETTY

PLANT 2 : meh :neutral:

Even this one has some calyx crowns on side. I will run them until I decide their fate.

QB 96s are still purring along with some UV action .
