steamrollers COM Stonington grow

[Stoneyluv]

I think I went 2 parts Stonington to 1 part Quoddy Bay.
Man you always ask the hard questions~!

inquiring minds wanna know!!!!!! 1/3 is still a healthy amount. helps save a few bucks on soils too.

i'm a big fan of compost teas!!! i think i might pick a bag of that up soon..

 

[steamroller]

It was $16 for the bag today.
I didn't even think of the money savings compared to soil.
I am pretty sure I used the QB in my very first grow that was large~!

So how long do you bubble when you make compost tea.
I read 7-10 days but they must be high~!
I would have thought a day or two would be fine.

yeah they're high....

i like to brew a minimum of 20 hrs. keeping it at an optimum temperature (70*-90*) if lower temps then i try to let it run longer. even in ten hours i see very good anaerobic effects and i think that's what we're trying to achieve so maybe once that happens it's really activated? i'm not 100% on all the rules but i assume once it started bubbling and foaming like crazy then it's alive and ready to eat.

i'm pretty high though too so...

What are y’all making tea with and what’s the advantage over say straight amendments?

What are y’all making tea with and what’s the advantage over say straight amendments?

I am going to make tea with the Quoddy Bay compost.
I have no clue if this will be an advantage. I have and will probably still feed.
I'm hoping it will be like adding fresh soil without all the effort?
When I read about the proper use of organic soils or soils that are loaded already the real deal is the amount you can use.
Almost every single top of the line soil recommended up potting right before flower with at least 4 times the volume of soil that you vegged in.
I am trying to just stay in 3g pots or 5g if this doesn't work out.
Going to go out soon to get video but he SLH was up to my nose this am so not sure I need 5 g pots.
I never finish green or at least many of my strains never finish green.
Really just trying to do better with minimal effort [slacker].

Interesting, I think the shakers are those of us who say…”ah that’s good enough” here you are still trying to better yourself, you sir are a disgrace to the slacker badge (if we made one, we’ll get around to it someday)

So 15 days since 12/12 flip from 14/10.
I don't feel the slow flip did as much before the 12/12 as it did last time when I took more time to flip slower.
Still for 2 or so weeks we are looking good.
Fed the Quoddy Bay compost tea yesterday.

I think stretch is over finally and I am ending up with three plants about as tall as me [ 5'6"]







Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Looks like the best weekend of the year and a nice week coming up.
Enjoy people~!

 

[Stoneyluv]

what so you don't have a six foot tee square for us??

looks gorgeous in there man!! monsters!!

 

[steamroller]

So we will say 3 weeks 12/12 in the books.
Letting the room go up to 85/86 before the AC turns on.
Room was 93 the other day so AC is needed now.

Happy Cinco de Mayo all~!

 

[Stoneyluv]

those haze plants are just monsters!! you gotta be so pleased with them so far!

when i did the math on your slow flip vs. my fast flip and i came up with a split of ten days according to pistils. i figured as flowering went on the ten days would show the difference. now i know lights, plant size, food, temps, everything, has a factor in it too but man i keep looking at your photos and i swear the ten day gap is gone... harvest date will say more i think.

.

over the weekend i printed you a xlvg.. i took Bandits idea with the color coding on the wavy gravy wall and decided the best way to color it was to start with white and not black so this is what i came up with.. i figured you could test it out!!



also printed the top layer of the cover in white so you can write on it with a sharpie then wipe it off with ipa. i tested it and wrote on it to try..



if you don't like the fruity colors then you can flip the wavy gray wall around and just use the white side... or i bet ipa would rub that paint off if ya wanted. it's just acrylic paint. it holds 22 seeds.

Man I just got in not minutes ago and see this~!
I will have the best two VGs going with the original [ very first I think? ] and first of the redefined and kinda made for a BIG little guy.
So sweet man.
Yea I am pretty happy with all the plants.
The Zamal Dreams and GMOs are serious little bushes just like the Serious Black in pictures.
It's BUD city in there~!
I am seeing some yellowing so just got some FF Grow Big to hopefully quickly fix things.

Got buzzed by a drone last Friday and again today at work and found the video from Friday.

He doesn't get real close but it is a well done video.
On the top of roof is our boy scraping paint off of all the detail that can not be replaced, and I'm the lone guy installing.

Week 4 in the books.
Gave another tea and ferts today.
I like what I am seeing and will keep doing it till it explodes in my face or these plants finish out proper.
To me they look better than I usually do so I am hopeful I am on to something.

Happy Mothers Day.

Got my new Vertical Germinator from Stoneylove yesterday.
22 seeds~!

Itching to start some of the seeds I got now even though it is not time or even close yet here.
Unless I maybe started some autos to go outside. I do have a few that I have no other plans for so...
Waiting for the race to start.
Hope you all have a great Sunday.
Love your plants so they can love you back.

I did play hooky from pics or report last week.
Getting crowded in the room.
Had to install a bunch of Yo-yos and even stakes/poles~!
Not yet have I had buds so heavy to pull down strong branches but this grow is doing it in many places.
Everyday I find another branch hanging or changing direction.
I think I am week 6. I love the slow flip.. It makes me not necessarily early. 2 week cushion.
I have seen yellow leaves on many plants despite adding more N than usual and even pHing my water a little down from tap levels.
Pics later on.

My fucking lawn mower caught on fire last weekend..
Not the #1 mower but she is pretty crispy now~!
Something must have nested in the muffler [ I think] and when I was almost done mowing the back yard it went poof~!
Even just went and bought new battery for it after getting her mower going, now I got 2...

 

[Cool_Beans]

Looking good dude! Hell of a grow there..

How is your tractor working out for you? I went to the Kubota dealership last weekend to look at a sub-compact for around the house/snowblower. My old man had bad luck with his but we're pretty sure he got a lemon. They ended up buying it back off him. My brother has an LX and hasn't had any trouble.

My parents neighbor has a BX25, he has had it like 15 years hes never had any issues with it other than fuel gelling when it's below 0

I have no problems at all.
Even starts right up in the winter to clear the driveway.

Steam, did you add your co2?

No~! Can you imagine if I did~!
I have read that the SLH could take 13 weeks .
They really would like it to help them deal with the heat I am sure.
Room is running upper 80s lately with the AC control it to that level.
I guess I could turn it lower.
Finishing up North this week hopefully and may flip the room to run its 12/12 at night.
She has been 12/12 8 am- 8pm but I will flip it to 8pm-8am to help with the heat that I know is coming.

I still have the 3 clones in tent so not real sure what is next.
I would like to make as many as possible of the Serious Black.
The ZD I have plenty of seeds for so?
I should probably start the auto seeds I have for outdoors and consider getting the 2 ZD out in the sun.
My yard is total sun. Sun up to sun down.
