Especially GBOG 2, seems that she knows no boundaries frost-wise, most of her leaves are covered in trichomes .

Will be a good harvest Ryker. Budsites/buds everywhere in the tent! Just the way it should be.

Man, I'm getting more excited every day, can't wait for the buds fatten up even more and to chop them finally. The only problem is that I'm not in the situation to continue growing right away after this grow, which sucks .

Girls are doing fine, buds are beginning to fatten like they should and I still can't get enough of that smell . Sorry for the bad quality of the GBOG 1 & 2 pics, should be better when you click on the for full size. Anyways, on to the pictures .

@Ryker604, i think we old-school HPS guys are doing good. I see alot of people using Leds, but hps is still a good, easy way to get a nice harvest.
Automatic feeding, just a rez-change now and then... and the nutrients, how many times have you given them nutes? Grow weed these days are easy. Not that I have grown for years and years.... but its easy for sure.
Can't wait for another Update!

Spot on mate, that's one of the reasons why I like your grows, the MH/HPS combo still works great and is reliable . And you're damn right it's easy with all of today's equipment, that's what I'm trying to tell people the last year . Jokes aside, things like Autopots, Biotabs and so on make 1 GPW easily achievable with some good preparation and a not-so-expensive investment.

Concerning feeding, that's the beauty of Biotabs, after the starting mix I almost don't need to feed them until mid-to-late flowering, when I'll be giving them a top-feed PK boost every 5 days :smoking:. Think that you could pull off a grow with only water, but my girls are big and have many bud sites so they need that extra something I reckon .

Gonna do an update tomorrow, nice having you here .

EDIT: Just wanted to add that I'm not going to lie, I will buy a COB light for my 4x4 tent in the future when I can have a steady grow op going on. Those lights seem killer, people are getting beautiful results .

 

[Journey Man]

Good answer! The frase gpw is easy to achieve just like you are saying. Just read little, ask some questions, sow some seeds and wait for harvest. Basicly.

I will order cobs I think, just for a 4x4 and try them out. I know they beat hps in vegging but I'm not fully convinced when it comes to the budding. I might go with a mix of the two. Next run I do I will have Leds or cobs in the mix. From seedling to middle of stretch I think they win all day long. I will experiment and see.

 

[Ryker604_BT]

Heh, experimenting is the beauty of it, ain't it . I'm really satisfied with my equipment for now and on the next grow I'll concentrate to really dial it in. After that, who knows, but COBs are high on the list.

DAY 57

This is an update from two nights ago, decided to put it up because the girls got their Bio PK that day . I have mixed 5 mL of Bio Pk and 1 mL of Orgatrex per liter of water and the girls got 3 L of that mix each. Orgatrex was added to give a little sugar bump to the bacterias and maybe a little nitrogen to the bleached out leaves, if that's possible.

After reading up on the test grow off of the Glueberry OG's on AFN, I came to the conclusion that the heavy bleaching is caused by a Cal/Mg deficiency, due to the grow being in coco. Most of the girls bleach slightly, just GBOG 1 got hit hard, but overall health and grow progress is on point. Bio PK has 2,5% of Cal so I'm hoping that the problem will turn out fine. I'll leave them be for now .

Hope all is well in your world .
