Cool mix.I bred Persian cats and Labrador Retrievers.

Ghost's getting snipped first if we can catch and contain.Wow, your plants look great, that's a lot of smoke you have there. Well done!
Momma cat looks peaceful with her babies, a pretty girl. Very cool, I kinda envy that a bit, we haven't had kittens around for years and years. We got our 3 boys when they were between 6 months and a year old. With the way they are multiplying you could have more before this latest batch is grown and gone.
Do you think Ghost is daddy cat for all of them? better get him fixed fast, hes found his groove and that could get to be expensive feeding his brood.
Hey, tip Dirtbag told me a while back was an old Tobacco growers trick to add 10ml/gal epsom salts/gal, at the end, its supposed to help the plant material burn better and cleaner, giving the joints a whiter ash. I've done it many times but I can't really tell one way or the other. My joints ash does look pretty clean but without a sample of what it would be like without the added Epsom salts how can I tell. He was /is a pretty good grower so I listened. With the AP's I've been adding it to clean water the last 2-3-4 days while I'm chopping my plants.Ghost's getting snipped first if we can catch and contain.
Not Sugar as she was preggi when she came into the house.
But ya, the others Cissy and Bella are his kittens, well Cissy has not had her babies yet but she is preggi.
What's wierd is we didn't know when they had them (Bella and also Sugar)
They must have been a a few days old when we found them.
The black one is Sugar's and at first look it looked like a Ghosty kind of kitty.
The other 4 of Bella's are 2 Tabbies and 2 Tuxedo's and Ghost does have a small white spot on his chest.
He must have a Tux in his parent hood I guess. I've seen one around and also a big black cat used to come around too.
So 8 kittens but a few weeks to a month or so apart, that gives us time to find forever homes.
I think they can go out the door at about 7-8 wks but I'll have to check on that.
Sugar's are at least 2 weeks old, try to get a pic of that black one if I can.
We'll be fine, it's just the shock of it all lol.
If we get Ghost and Kow Kat then we're golden. $1000 poofff !!
Have not contacted the SPCA yet, they don't answer their phones ya gotta leave a msg.
Too many things going on here with doctors appts and stuff.
Without a car makes it soooo much harder, taxi's are costing us too much and don't take cards so gotta have cash on hand.
I gotta find out if uber or lift takes a card.
I was just down picking off some leaves from WT.
Getting some light and air down in there.
Very dense which scares me. I got the big fan running in the daytime now.
Light is @ 73% RH=43% and I cut the time by 15 mins so 7: 45 is lights out and also made sunset 20 mins instead of 15.
Nute mix is 1/1/1/2 + .5 tsp. per gal + 2ml Diamond Nectar.
I put in the last mix this morning. The plants are starting to slow down intake.
Next feed is plain ph water after the tanks go down to the last gallon.
That will probably be at the 9 wk mark.
The lower buds on WT where they don't get the max light are a bit fluffy, the uppers are nice and hard.
I was looking at tri's today and very good so far but Runtz is exceptional.
Thanks but I'm just following as best I can at what you do.
My last grow with Apollo was very good, still smoking it, but this one is finishing much better with lots more tri's.




Hey awesome, I'm glad it worked for you its easy to remember being basically balanced most of the way through. I was having temperature and humidity problems early on. I finely bought a small ceramic heater and a small inline exhaust fan everything is much better now.I was pulling some leaves off WT making sure she got free air flow and
I decided to check the buds with a scope.
They are all looking better than ever before, lots of sparkely tri's.
Then I checked Sun Daze Haze and wow, she's more than ready to chop!
I was spoting amber all over the place. Not gonna wait and chopped her.
I was hoping to let some plain water run thru for a week or two but guess not.
Hung her up and started to deleaf, she got a ton of leaves.
Took a few quick picks but could not get the amber tri's to show much.
I cut her up and will hang in a drying basket tomorrow.
I double checked the others and they are ok and looking so good
I think they will be ready in a week or less but who knows.
I'll throw in some plain water into the tanks in the morning.
They are down to a gallon each of the weak nute mix, 1/1/1/2 + KB + DN
Thanx for that recipe PC, along with the GH change really helped me out.
I want to thank everyone that sent me the seeds for this grow, it turned out spectacular!
I'm tired and my back hurts and I'm gonna light one up and I'm outta here.

Ah the drying part was in my head for the last week and I got nothing. hahaHey awesome, I'm glad it worked for you its easy to remember being basically balanced most of the way through. I was having temperature and humidity problems early on. I finely bought a small ceramic heater and a small inline exhaust fan everything is much better now.
Now you have the drying part, do you have a separate location to dry in?.....
I want a new small tent but I don't really have room for one. I've had success with my clones and I'd like to have space to start seeds and clones isolated from my 2 tents that will both be in flower.
Kittens look like fun I'd love to come over and see them, a bit too far for a day drive. I've looked at doing a loop there and back but she'd be a lot of driving over a short period of time and it would take a week with 3 days one way and 3 the other with our 3 cats in with us....lol small Kia and 1 shit box in the back....maybe not...lol



I see my iphone gets in now so all fixed up.we are working on this and waiting to see if we fixed it.Site security notice?

Thanks, everythings coming along great with no problems through out the grow.Super nice buds there~!
Nice grow man~!
![]()
What PC nute schedule?? Have i seen this holy Grail? I use gh tooThanks, everythings coming along great with no problems through out the grow.
Last grow was pretty darn good but this one is even better by far.
Between the light and the GH products and PC's nute schedule, made it easy peasy for me.
Can't wait to smoke some of dat Runtz.
The only curiousity was the White Truffle's.
Each time I plant one it come up a dif plant haha.
Last one looked all white with small buds like cotton, then this grow I got a giant bush for one seed
and the other seed next to it, in the same pot, same strain (WT) but dif plant all together and neither looked like the first WT.
I've had that happen to me a few grows ago with another seed from QC seeds.
I think quality control issues but I liked and enjoyed the smoke anyways lol.














PipeCarver uses it.What PC nute schedule?? Have i seen this holy Grail? I use gh too
I think he's referring to my GH nute regime of basically a balanced 3 part + Diamond Nectar in veg then afew adjustments through flower with added KB wet and dryWhat PC nute schedule?? Have i seen this holy Grail? I use gh too
A lot of mind bending went into making that magic concoction.....lol....and its from years of using the same shit while being high...its easy to remember with even numbers until adjustments are needed.PipeCarver uses it.
I copied this from a PipeCarver conversation, hope it's ok to post.
"I'll have to look it up to paste it in here but basicaly it is
at 2/2/2/2 I'd add 1/2 tsp epsom salts...at 3/3/3/3 and upwards I add 1 tsp Epsom Salts
In veg before I go to the autopots I use Flurolicious plus @ 1ml/gal..
veg...2/2/2-3/3/3-4/4/4-/5/55/-6/6/6 plus 1tsp Epsom salts each feed / flip 6/6/6-6/6/8-drop epsom salts and start cal/mag 5/4/4/8/-5/3/3/8 -4/2/2/6-1/1/1/2 with the 3 basics + cal/mag.
Then there's Diamond Nectar at 4ml per gal starting week 2 in flower to look like 6/6/8/4 week 3- 5/4/4/8/4/2.5 KoolBloom liquid at 2.5 ml first feed to 5ml......5/4/4/8/4/2.5 ...finishing week 6 going to KoolBloom dry at 1/4 tsp/gal until week 9".......................................................(^cm/m/g/b/dn/kb^)
(Cal-Mag/Micro/Grow/Bloom/Diamond Nectar/Kool Bloom liquid then KB dry later on)
It took me a little mind bending to understand the plan and I might have winged it some of the time.
I copied this directely from a post of his so I think it's pretty accurate.
Well I’m getting exceptional tri s, really good growth and no problems during the grow.A lot of mind bending went into making that magic concoction.....lol....and its from years of using the same shit while being high...its easy to remember with even numbers until adjustments are needed.
Well my bending of the mind came when I had 2 dif partial plans wrote down and had to figure them out a bit plus I really got bent whenA lot of mind bending went into making that magic concoction.....lol....and its from years of using the same shit while being high...its easy to remember with even numbers until adjustments are needed.
I just dumped about a gallon this am. I added Cal/mag for the first time and It would not have interacted well with what was in the res still. The circulating pump was sucking air this am so it is perfect timing as I'm about 2 weeks into flower on my clones. I stopped using Hyclean as well, I'm not sure if it was what caused some particles to form in my res or not but I'm not getting them now so???Well my bending of the mind came when I had 2 dif partial plans wrote down and had to figure them out a bit plus I really got bent when
I forgot the change up and had to adjust mid week. lol mostly high but after bout the 4th week in flower I had it down pat.
I let the tanks go down to 1/2 gal. before adding the new mix. Didn't have to empty or clean the tanks one time.
I did not use Hyclean or any of that stuff. The GH nutes are super clean to begin with.
Almost done with TD and Runtz and AHLJ and 1 WT the smaller one but the WT bush is a slacker and I thought it would go first ha.
My biggest problem now is the drying of these plants.I just dumped about a gallon this am. I added Cal/mag for the first time and It would not have interacted well with what was in the res still.

Yes with all of our growing experience and growing beauties for 4 months we can fk it all up because we can't hit the parameters to properly drying the shit. Your wine cooler is probably the best location I'd think if you can keep the RH steady and temp down. My shit still over dried in my drying box but its smoke able. it just looses all the smell sometimes.My biggest problem now is the drying of these plants.
I got one in a round netted drying basket thing with 4 sections to put the stems w/buds.
Covered but in the grow room 78f/rh46 and they dried to fast outside the room 66/47 so I put them inside.
(Turned off hummi)
Now the others are going to be chopped except WT, I wanted to wait a bit more.
I am thinking of chopping them all at once so I can use the grow room for the drying process.
I do have a small wine cooler and the temp and rh in it is: 58/58 but I could only put buds in a paper bag in there
and even then, not all would fit tho.
They are so heavy they are collapsing into themselves and breaking the staulks.
Well, the cats are prob all going cause the vets all say they have to have multipul shots before they get fixed.
They can't do the shots all at once so it'll take 2-3 appointments over a month or three, then another month long wait for the fixing.
That's too long to wait and that's for one, I need 2 fixed. Plus very complicated to get a feral fixed. They put up many hoops to get thru.
I called all the places near here and 10 lives is the only place that will take them all and find homes for them.
I am sick, but it is what it is.
That's afkin monster, Just wow, Nice job man there's a lot of smoke to go through...lol... I see some large containers needed soon. Do you have enough to get to handle it all? I was using the Grove bags but I'm souring on them, they don't last and its a constant cost buying them at $4.50+15% each. I bought 2 sm 1 oz Cvaults and they are great but the price on them is 2-3x more than they were just a few months ago. I bought 2 sm cheapo versions of Cvaults and they suck but are okay for a weeks worth to haul out and keep in. I'm looking so if you come across something to store 1/4 lbs or?? in or....what do you use?

I still use mason jars but when they run out I use the larger jars with the hinge and rubber seal. Problem is where to put them all.That's afkin monster, Just wow, Nice job man there's a lot of smoke to go through...lol... I see some large containers needed soon.

They fail after a while the zipper rips out, I hot sealed a few this time and I can push air out of them...not sealed very well. I looked at cheap tuperware but that stuff isn't air tight. I may have to go a better brand.I still use mason jars but when they run out I use the larger jars with the hinge and rubber seal. Problem is where to put them all.
You and others grow more than I do so I’d think things like the cvaults or good Tupperware with boveda packs might be better.
What’s wrong with the grove bags?
I have a bunch of unused grove bags to use after the initial fry to put all my booty in ar ar ar stocked up last year,That's afkin monster, Just wow, Nice job man there's a lot of smoke to go through...lol...

Great idea if the wife don’t mind we only have one bath with a shower tho. Cats r a problem too they like jumping up and snatching at the branches haha that’s why I can’t use the spare room.Can you hang them in the shower for a few days?
We have a second bathroom in the basement I use mist if the time. It’s easier to control the humidity in there too. I add hot water to the sink if it’s low. I also put a clip fan in there just to blow a light breeze throughout the shower. I had an extra spring loaded bar I put across the middle, just above the shower head.

I’ve also cut branches and put them in a hanging dry bag on the shower bar. But most times I hang the whole plant with the help of a metal coat hanger.
If you put them on hangers first you can move them around when needed. We close the bathroom door when I’m drying.Great idea if the wife don’t mind we only have one bath with a shower tho.

I know it can be tricky with only one bathroom but at least it’s an option.
Unless conditions are perfect the shower or the refrigerator are my last resorts.
This is what I use if i can’t hang the whole plant. View attachment 127090
My store has them on sale for $10

















I used to use 10 ml bloom quite a while ago and when I dropped to 8ml I saw no change. I think something I saw persuaded me to drop them the numbers a bit. I start Koolbloom around week 2 in flower as per their recommendations @ 2.5ml first feed and 5ml after that and I think that makes up for my 2ml drop of bloom. Its been a long time since I've had a haul like this last one of yours. Its good to see the potential one can get with well fed plants and good lighting. I have 2 Blue Dream Granny says are good providers and I've had them vegging quite a while now @ 1.5 months, I'm ready to flip but I can't yet. Timing of clones won't let me or I'll run out of space. I'm thinking at least 1 more week.All Chopped Down Today!
I got tired of waiting and seen enough amber to chop.
Waiting a few more days seemed fruitless to do and not going to wait till tues
that would be week 10, to see more amber.
I think they are as ripe as they are going to get.
By wieght Tangi-Dream and Runtz are the champs, AHLJ n White Truffles (small 1)
were light by comparison.
I hung the trees in the room and brought the BR ones down too.
The cats are going on the 26th so had to get those plants out of the bathroom cause of the smell and wifey not happy lol.
Well. it's done now and hope the drying goes as well as the grow did.
I think the only variance from the PC Grow System was putting a few fast acting lime pellets on top of the pots when in early veg.
Dunno if it helped but it helped my tomatoes when they got this blight rot.
Then I also kicked up the Bloom to 10ml for a couple of feeds in week 4 of flower.
Also started to lower the light at wk 5 of flower 1% down per day.
I think I would wait till week 6 to start lowering next time and not sure how low I would go, maybe quit at 80%.
btw the wine cooler fridge is working out pretty good, I'm almost ready to trim and bag them.
Here's some pic's

I was a bit concerned they showed no signs of tip burn so I thought, not enough nutes, I figured they could take more.I used to use 10 ml bloom quite a while ago and when I dropped to 8ml I saw no change.

I was told tip burn is either too much food with not enough light or too much light with not enough food. Dirtbag said to me that if I'm not burning the tips then I'm not trying hard enough...lol....its a sign your close to perfect and as long as its just the tips and not burning the whole finger I think your close to right onI was a bit concerned they showed no signs of tip burn so I thought, not enough nutes, I figured they could take more.
That was when I finally seen some tip burn and knew they had enough so went back to 8.
Other than that I went by the formula with KB liquid and dry.
