Greetings everyone & a happy new year to all this is gonna be my "catch all" thread if I'm doing stuff its gonna be here instead of scattering things all over however I will complete my 2 other threads big-n-tasty & sin city juice as they're already started here is pics from those the single plant is the big n tasty

 

[horribleherk]

Moving forward with popping new strains has been somewhat slowed until I can get my temps sorted out but I do have some new stuff on the horizon to be popped as well as a chuck or 2 which I normally don't do this is 20/twenty Mendocino arcata trainwreck next to get developed as well as some other overdo things I've received via the generosity of fellow members so slow but sure were gonna get some of these projects kicked off I'm really excited about the trainwreck as about 10 years ago I had a cut of it & regretted letting it slip away with nothing but my memory to go on I'm starting to see similar traits in this version a lot of these original strains are either gone or very hard to find the genuine thing I have a couple of crosses in mind for this pheno

Both tents entering the year on a brighter note as I'm getting my light & heating schedule figured out

 

[horribleherk]

Got work to do in the big n tasty tent over the next few days the heater is a game changer fitted the screen to the 4x4 a bit early but I'm gonna leave it & start training I'm hoping this rate of growth will continue I'm running the lights 20 hrs & heat during lights out & when outside temps drop to the point my tent temps drop below 70.f

 

[horribleherk]

Big-n-tasty I've got my changes done to the tub & the stand I had to pull everything out of the tent my medium was once again too wet so I put a fan on the smart pot I'm seeing steady improvement & now I can concentrate on my feeding as she is still a bit light in color as soon as she dries out I can set the reservoir on the timer next move is to clone her I've been developing my method of using a soiless mix & feeding it like e&f hydro but they're really touchy to how heavy I saturate the smart pot I discovered by lowering my flood depth the oversaturation stopped & my rate of growth & vigor picked up the soiless mix ( sunshine#4) allows me to feed at a higher ph. 6.0 - 6.7 which with megacrop & my tap water requires no adjustment whatsoever

 

[horribleherk]

Sin city juice is making me happier by the day the 2 rear plants are starting to grow & they all are greening up I increased the megacrop t0 4gr.

 

[horribleherk]

Big-n-tasty she ain't liking it but I reinstalled the scrog & increased the megacrop to 5gr. & added cal mag I hoping she has greener up by the time the screen fills I just need to get her in her groove & quit pissing her off so that I can clone & flip her soon were back to freezing nighttime temps so its steady as she goes for now

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

I may have said this before... the Ole memory ain't doing great, but my Big N Tasty never looked right until after the flip. I actually flipped her early because I couldn't get her going right in veg. She still took off and put out some massive nugs as you saw.

I have tossed the idea of flipping early but have held out against it & I'm this far into it I'm thinking if I see things through she will reward me in kind real curious if she is gonna be finicky to clone

 

[horribleherk]

Big-n-tasty is now on an automated feeding schedule she is still droopy from the last round of training I'm hoping I can keep feeding & perk up as well or if she is gonna stay in a funk until after the flip we will see how she stacks up once I get everything in place

 

[horribleherk]

Sin city juice is another strain I have no experience with she is the 4th 3-thirteen strain offering I've grown & in spite of me nearly freezing her to death is waking up & my back plants that were behind are now waking up as well this is gonna get good soon even this young they're developing a smell

 

[horribleherk]

My arcata trainwreck baby I did another round of topping so I have the option of taking multiple clones or running her in the 3x3 as a single plant grow

 

[horribleherk]

Big-n-tasty starting to perk up after that last round of training this plant does not take kindly to being messed with

 

[horribleherk]

I did some training on the sin city juice tonight as well on the front 3 plants the 2 in the rear are about to poke through the net

Plants looking nice Herk! What size pot is that big n tasty in? Gotta be 15+ I'm guessing by pics. How often/heavy are you watering/feeding? My plants that I just uppotted to 5s are kinda looking like this right now. Have yet to figure out if I'm over or under watering, or if it's just transplant shock... Probly a mix of all, but I'd rather get it figured out sooner than later... Hopefully we can figure and work it out together for the better. But without personally witnessing/feeling your plants it seems/looks like over watering and/or roots sitting in still water for too long. As long as we're still growing we're still learning ?

It's in a 3 gal. pot both tents using same medium & nuts flooding once daily I'm fighting colder nighttime temps the 5 plants in the 4x4 were faster to recover the Big-n-tasty is gonna take a bit longer the 5 plant sin city juice is in 2 gal pots
