Btw, Im not trying to be a Mr. “know it all” folks… But, for a plant that is maybe 18 days old from seed, its doing extremely well… Its just too easy, and so damn cheap. Try the combo, you’ll like it!! Quaranteed results!!!
Just fed this girl the lucas method/formula this morning… 0-8-16 per gallon of water. Then, the next feeding ill go with the Jack’s Pro hydro with calcium nitrate, then after that the Jacks classic blossom booster… Then ill mix em up all over again. You can tell that she’s loving life Happy plants equal happy yields!!
She is radiating with health, almost a glow… looks like wax, or plastic. This my friends is called “Perfect” plant health… No bragging intended. Ok, maybe im bragging a little. Who wouldn’t? … Good day to all!
OMG! How could i be so stupid! I forgot to mention my use of Mono-potassium phosphate which is also known as “MKP” 0-52-34 … This stuff adds an ample amount of phosphorous, and potassium which will encourage huge blooms!! You will notice a huge difference after using this stuff… But, make sure you use a very small amount(1/8 th teaspoon per gallon, along with your base nutes), and start running this phenomenal product “AFTER” the initial stretch of 12/12… Some use it sooner,… Im just telling ya all how I go about things. Each to their own… Incredibly strong stuff, so dont overdo it!!!
@explorer Hahahaha, yup, it sure does!.. But, in the beginning, it was flo’s, and then a 400 hps, and finally the lumen God…A thouie!..
I have used this one liner as a signature on many forums…it goes something like this…“If you want the density, then you must have the intensity!” Its a true statement that has many different meanings… Peace
Ok… I wanna be super honest with all you guys and gals, and Im spilling the beans this morning… Dont ask me why. But, i have a conscience.
I have a whole lot more going on over here than what ive been posting online … I still get worried about posting cannabis pics, etc, even though iam100% legal. One day I’ll show everybody the entire show!!.. I have had them cold handcuff’s on me more than once, and Im kinda paranoid. … One day Ill open up and show ya all the “Big Picture”… Nuff said… Ok, I feel better now. Thanks!
Oh even better then bro essentially built it up ready for the shits. And I do agree I used to be a HPS grower and there is nothing wrong with it just costs some to keep up with but we’ve got a kid now so had to downsize and a HPS in an enclosed space just, fuck that ballache but anyway yeh if ya want good yields you’ve gotta put the wattage in.
@ Explorer Then again Bro, I have seen some growers work it, and do wonders with far less. Its how you go about doing things… Wattage helps indeed, but with bud prices dropping the way they have been makes me wonder if its even worth running thousands of watts of power anymore. Ive seen ok bud going for as low as 65 bones around here… Ouch! Gut wrenching…
Well, she making her Daddy proud indeed!.. This girl is just 27-28 days from seed, and exceeded my expectation as far as growth rate, and hardiness, and overall health. The stem is about the size of pencil, and the same for a few of the branches, “She’s a brick house!”… Very stout! … Snipped off some fat juicy clones, and popped em into my trusty DWC clone bucket. Usually I wait a full 8 weeks before I flower a plant grown from a seed, due to the plant’s maturity level. But, Ill do something a little different this round, and start the flowering process this Sunday, about 4 weeks early, she’s certainly big enough. In my observation, plants grown from seed always seem to yield less over clones. And the branching seem sparse as well. Seen it happen this way many times over the years. Ill bet her clones will have a completely different look… Anyways, not quite sure whats gonna happen. I guess we’ll have to wait and find out eh? Bertha! Show us what your made of!!!
. Have an awesome Friday peeps, and an even better weekend. Im rootin’ for ya!
Alrighty then!.. Here’s what the “Passsion Fruit” looks like today… 15 days into the flowering cycle. She’s getting tall, and hoping she wont bump into the reflector… Biting my nails. Ill deal with it. Only 2 more weeks and the stretching will cease.
BTW, She’s on a live feed when the lights are on… I can check up on my gardens via cell phone anywhere in the world… Pretty cool… Technology. Gotta love it, or simply hate it. Ok, Im a bit of a computer geek too!.. ha!
Good morning everybody! Well, “Bertha” The single “Passion Fruit” plant is doing really good! The budding is finally coming into effect! YAY!!! She smells SO fruity, with kind of a grapefruit scent, just like the description says. Very nice aroma indeed. I think she’s gonna be a keeper. Im real picky when it comes to the flowering room’s “real estate”, or “space”…lol If it aint poppin, its outta here!! So far, its Glass Slipper, and the Tangerine Dream, that has won my heart. We’ll have to wait for a smoke report before this strain becomes a permanent resident.
So, anyways, a few more weeks of stretch, and then she will start packing it on! So far, she has exceeded my expectations. She seems to be handling the excess heat, its a battle, let me tell ya! Cant wait til fall, Ive had enough. The heat is really taking a toll on the GS strain, but not this “Fruit Passion”… She’s a real trooper! Doing all I can to keep these damn temps at bay. We’ll see how it plays out… Sigh…
Hey there OG! I know I have neglected this thread, and scattered updates here, there, and practically everywhere. Im gonna do a better job at keeping the updates where they belong. I sincerely apologize. Anyways, The “Passion Fruit” has been through the mill. She has been in extreme heat for months, and It took a serious toll on her. Iam managing to get something out of this gig, but nothing like I originally expected. But hey, what Iam getting in return is better than nothing. Maybe 3 ounces?.. Maybe less. I guess I’ll find out soon … Anyways, Here are some recent bud shots… Nothing spectacular, but I thought I should do the right thing and continue this thread. Nothing worse than following someone’s grow thread, and they simply disappear.
Have a nice day, and I wish everyone the Best!
And as usual, I took a clone… I just transferred this clone to a netpot yesterday, and she is currently bubbling away under a 600 watt hps. setup. She is under the influence of Jacks Hydroponic formula, and their calcium nitrate @ 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for each. Ph is 5.8, and its spot on without using any ph up or down. Also, Im using straight up tap water from the city. Seems to be easier to deal with over RO…
Hi beacher, Yes, Ill give her another go. I cant give up on the strain, it smells too good! haha This time she’ll be in a DWC bubbler. My single “Passion Fruit” plant is not as bad as one may think. The buds are nice and dense and getting bigger by the day. But, I think there should be more of it. Who knows, might be the strain…all new to me.The plant’s cosmetics are suffering in a big way. Leaves have seen temps as high as 100 degree’s for hella! … So, you can only imagine what she looks like … I think she will turn out “ok”… But she wont give me that “Wow” factor. Not this round… Hey, I checked out your thread today, and you have done an excellant job my friend. Top notch experienced growing. Keep up the good work, like always. Thanks for stopping by. Getting ready to drop another Dark Devil seed into a smaller pot. Have a nice day!
Giving this somewhat lonely Girl “crystal clear” Tap water til the end… I think I’ll be able to chop her down the first week of October. This bud has such a fruity aroma! Never had bud smell this good before. I wanna eat it!! lol… House smells great!!
Conclusion, Not the best looking bud Ive ever grown in my life, as far as the fan leaves are concerned. But certainly one of the most citrus aroma’s this nose has ever hovered across… And if the smell has anything to do with the potency, then this strain might be reviewed as a 5 star! Ill keep ya all posted.
Have a great day, and a much better evening my friends!
Looks like the only “Passion Fruit” clone I chopped is starting to find its way outta the net pot(2 days later)… Clean “White” healthy roots! I never use hydrogen peroxide, or bleach, or any of them other funky additives in any of my Dwc grows. Been there, done that… Just the Jacks Hydro formula with calcium nitrate, and only a drop a gallon of Superthrive(ONLY in veg)… Highly reccomended.
but anyway yeh if ya want good yields you’ve gotta put the wattage in.
