Ed Rooney: Back to School

[Ed Rooney]

Girls came down today in the main room. Day 54, surprised at how early they finished I was expecting another week but the trics looked good.



Potted up some Skywalker and Skunk Star in 250's. They are all rootbound and lanky from being squashed up too long in the veg tent. Will tart them up and top them out. One week of veg to get established and then the show starts again.
Soil mix, this one doesn't have as much coir so will be interesting to see how quick they dry out. 3 established Skywalker's to go in there as well as 1 Tahoe, the other 2 did poorly from the start and they are just too damn fussy so they got the chop.
A bit more space this time but still tight enough.
I'm actually thinking of doing a whole run on filtered tap water (10mic & carbon) to see how well this soil mix buffers ph. Will still be adding Epsom salts every other feed, multizyme and great white. Time to push this mix and see if it has the nutes to keep the girls happy.

I need to self a clone and get some beans.

I want to cross it to the Deep Chunk x Bubba98 side and also the the G13 side and see what I get.

Unfortunately beans didn't make it through.

I'll try and get Bodhi's Booty in and give that a crack if it makes it, then I can share the love around.

He seems to cross so much to his g13 it must be good.

 

[Jewels]

Decided I'm not doing a defoliation because I'm lazy and it's too much work.

The first reason was enough.
Dont beat it to death. ?

So that was G13HpBubCunk that came down ?
Tell me about that.

 

[Jewels]

We posted at the same time but it sounds like a very cool strain

 

[Ed Rooney]

Yeah it was, my first run with it. Beans were from Southern Star, they have shut up shop.

Pepper, wood, spice, a bit of citrus too. I'll get a smoke report up soon....it's a long weekend for us!

Got some fire growing. Those tents are packed! What strain is the red stemmed girl a few pics back?

That's the Nice Chunk too.

Just took a peek at one of the other tents, its only short, the lights are right at the top now, it's been 3 weeks so I hope no more stretch.

I've got what was suppose to be a BOG sour grape x SFV OG from a mate that grows outdoor. It[s been hit with a sativa, it's got amazing hybrid vigor, the root mass is insane and it wants to grow big, if it turns out good I'll have to keep the veg to a minimum next time.

 

[Ed Rooney]

Room reset. The veg room was packed and the girls got a bit leggy. Everything has been potted up and its all looking a bit sad atmo.
Straight to flip.
Skywalker Kush, Skunk Star #3 and a Tahoe in the front.

Other side of tent. 3 more Skywalkers....waiting on me for a water, sorry girls.





Clones and seedlings potted up and in the veg room.
Grape Ape x Zkittles, Star Dawg, SS#3, Nice Chunk, Zkittles.
These girls were right up in the fluro's and going to love being out.



Cuts.

Love the bar lights. Diy? 80w per bar?

Beautiful grow man. Those plants look amazing. Great shot of the full tent with those big colas, it's like looking at a forest from above, I love it!

Digging the set up

Main tent, 2xFC6500 (600w) Mars Hydro
Flower tents, 2XSP250's
Veg = 2xSP3300's (dimmable)
The clone racks are 2 and 4 bulb fluros, bare battens with plugs.

 

[Ed Rooney]

What a day.

Main tent yield was 3 elbows, awesome.

Buuuuuut.

There is freakin seed through it. It's not stray pollen, I'm sure of it.

At some stage shit has gone sideways and I've ended up in the wrong bar in Thailand.

Going to have to dial in my inspection drills.

Nice Chunk is getting binned.

I'll have to get my G13 hashplant fetish elsewhere.

Checked in on the girls in the Skunk tent, they've fallen over not able to support their own weight.

Shit, need bigger stakes.

Lessons to be learnt there too. My laziness has cost me there. I'll need to get bigger stakes and tie them up.

Looks like I'll need to set up the scrog net in the main room so this doesn't happen again.

Last time I set one up it lasted 2 days before I ripped it out because watering became a pain in the ass.

 

[Frosty78]

Did one ladyboy your crop

 

[Frosty78]

3 elbows lovely.

@Ed Rooney how u like the sp 250 ? I got one in the front of my 4x4 I'm loving it

I'm with you there, the Mars lights are going great, especially at the price they sell them.

I really like the new SP3000, because it's dimmable it makes it more versatile.

Day 39, girls gone wild!

I've tried to clean up the mess a bit with some stakes and give them some support.

Too late in the game to change much, just riding it out now and see what I get.

Looking forward to seeing how much better I can run the cuts.

I really let these mothers go.

Zkittles front, 2 skunk's in the back.

Skunk Star : (98 red beard skunk x super skunk)x dinkum's skunk

 

[Ed Rooney]

Main room starting to fill out nicely.

At the back are 3 bigger Skywalker's
Mid is 7 more Skywalkers and 6 Skunk Star
Front is the one Tahoe out of the pack I liked, the cuts are doing much better, I need to run it more to get it dialed still not happy with how I have run her, she seems to like heavier feeding so more amending necessary.

They're getting a bit close to the lights, I'll bump them up a bit as they still have another week or so of stretch.

Gave them a foliar of calmag and added Fulvic to the cycle.

Went and checked on a mate that I gave a runt Skywalker to and I'm envious as F. He's got it under a 1000w halogen running Green Planet 3 part in coco and it is a monster! Absolutely faultless feeding, it looks amazing. I'll grab a pic next time.

 

[Ed Rooney]

Went and saw old mate today, pic as promised.
