No pic update yet. I've a few more hours to go until lights on. Just wanted to give all my creepy stalkers a heads up. I'm flushing tonite so will have a big, big update.

And as promised, new Diablo Journal Girl as well.

Edit (5-16-11)
What's a Diablo Journal Girl? If you're just getting here, you missed it. Lol.

So begins bulking phase. They're getting the sugar water now. The root mass looks like it's just about on target to get as scary as my last grow. It's nice having a strain that's not growing past the light this time.

And soil growers? I'm not one of those guys who refers to you as 'dirt bags' and whatnot. But I will say that this baby would have become root bound even in a very large soil pot long ago.

Just to get my priorities straight, that's a hot chick. But look at all those colas! Holy shit, no wonder you can get a pound of bud out of that small space. I want to do that someday. A pound would probably last me 5 years at the rate I smoke.

What could be more beautiful than the grace of a woman or the full bloom of OG Kush? Not much. It's time for Liquid Koolbloom. It's been a little over three hours since the water change and I already see a reaction in them.

And I just wanted to add a pic of my MH conversion lamp. She's not as strong as the native HPS, but she has come through in many a veg session already. Sadly, she may have only a grow or so left in her. But we'll see, because she still looks plenty bright.

Sprayer Cycle
For the past four weeks they've been on a 15min on/15min off cycle during light period. I have them spraying continually in the light period now for the duration of the grow. This causes what's known in the bud world as "morbid obesity."

Fluid Consumption
These clones are drinking the most I have ever seen. I have to refill that twelve gallon external res constantly (almost every day) to keep from letting the level drop below the pump. The diluting effect (since I have plain water only in my external res) requires me to manually readjust ppm on a daily basis as well. Towards the end, when it's time for the final flush cycle, I use my auto-topping system as a continual daily water changer. I replace the small 12 gal external res with a huge one exactly like the one housing the plants. I use this huge bad boy as the external res and pump out the day's water with my handy power head and the res just refreshes itself as I just stand there and listen to the click, pour, click, pour of my float switch and refresh line. It's way awesome to go through this cycle and watch the first few days as the ppm drops steadily. The lowest I've gotten it is 20ppm, but I'm gonna try to get it under 10ppm this time... It's really cool. I'll document it more closely when that magical week comes, of course.

Thanks, bud. Five years? I think a pound would last me just a little over one year (if I took it easy) Lol.

I just do a little each night to relieve pain and treat my insomnia right now. But if I had that much on hand, I'd be tempted to use more. Actually, I only started tokin' again last summer after 30 years dry when I discovered that it takes away my nerve pain, when my Rx meds aren't working. Amazing medicine for calming the nerves & mind. It should be completely legal everywhere. Just don't get high before a calculus exam. ;-)

Lol. That's a pretty fair run-down. Yeah, when I don't have jars and jars of it, I do smoke less, but after a harvest, you better believe it's WA-HOO time. I mean, isn't that why we all grow in the first place? Wa-hoo time at a dispensary on their highest shelf stuff would bleed your bank account dry in a hurry.

That's great that cannabis serves as a viable, natural treatment for your ailments. I have insomnia and a bad back (herniated disc). But before I go rattling on about my war wounds like some old codger, I'll stop there.

Final Update. As promised, I'm making today's update a big one. Here's the third installment. A little canopy from above action this time. I'm pretty pleased with the way these ladies are utilizing the available space. They're not crowding themselves with too many huge fan leaves. Beauty and brains.

One of the dudes in the shadows..... Looks like they are gonna be dense as sh*t. Nice job. I like your style. I also employ the self scrog or screen-less scrog. I weave my little girls into a big mess. I got some diablo og from a store here in so cal too- but i got ripped off. Only two were true og's, the others were a trainwreck variation- not bad but the two real diablos were amazing.

Thanks! Yeah, it's a bitch when you think you're getting legit OG and you end up with some kind of cross that's not quite right. I always stay away from any seed saying it's OG Kush, cuz that's sketchy right there. And sometimes even the clones calling themselves OG floating around aren't always on target.

But not as much as tomorrow...

Alright, so the quality of my girl pictures has dropped somewhat, but the grow must go on! Or is that... on with the grow!

Either way, the sugar-heavy mixture ended up at ph 5.8 when first mixed to the RO. It shot up to 6.1 last night with sprinklers going constantly. Back down to 5.9 right now. I actually tried to lower the ph a bit, but when 7ml of down didn't make it budge, I left it alone. I've noticed right around this time in the grow, when they get to a certain size, the plants pretty much call the shots and decide what the ph is gonna be.

I know what you're thinking. "Oh there goes that guy again about OG Kush...blah, blah, blah... what a cliche."

But it's that cough, you see. No other marijuana strain that I've smoked causes quite that same cough that a good OG does. Y'know the deep down OG cough? That earthy taste just pounding at your eyes, throat, and lungs? The kind of hit that makes your gums pulsate afterward?

I think you do.

That's not Crystal OG in the picture despite what the label says, btw. It's a house OG from a local shop named after a character in South Park. "Cartman OG Kush." I give props to the person who grew this... whatever it really is... But it doesn't matter what it really is, because it's a true OG... and If I say it's a true OG, well let's say I'm pretty picky.
