Indoor Squid's Second Grow-Duurty Dragon, Diesel Ryder & MI5

[The Squid]

I am glad everyone is so into getting this sussed out with me. Especially you Jackal since you use Promix. I would love to read your book on growing, haha. You have THE biggest Auto yields on the site as far as I know. Promix and Hydro. You are the man, man. So I will take any and all advice yu wish to throw my way as far as exactly how you grow in Promix. PM your secrets, haha. Then I'll probably still screw it up.

I should be known as the Dragon Slayer. Ugh. I bet Mossy hates me. haha.

:howdy:

Ha ha no Bro..but it would be Good to get it sussed..then next time it happens we ALL know what it is...and we might be able to help faster.

Maan..you should see some of the cock-ups I still make.....wasn't it Me who bleached a BlackDragon silver..with peroxide...

Who am I to moan...:smokebuds:

Thanks a lot Mossy! You rock! I am trying my best. I sincerely apologize in advance if these four don't make it. That will be 10 that I have slain. Luckily, 6 of mine will be grown by one of the best growers here at AFN.

I have 5 left that I am afraid to start, haha. I am going to save them until I get better/get this all sussed out. They are some of the last of the Original Duurty Dragons and t'would be a damn shame if I killed them all.

I worked hard to win that 420 pack and want to get something out of them. It looks like I will just be getting whatever females I get from the five I have left later down the road. I have just been dying to grow and smoke these DDs for months, but It's just not in the cards it seems. Oh well. Thanks again for everything, Wiz!

I know what you mean. If this was going better it wouldn't be so confusing with all the posts back and forth about help. Jokes are one thing, but having to sort through my bs to get to the actual grow is annoying I agree, and this is my thread.

One of the days...I will be the man. And we can all joke about it...

damn..for some reason, when i hit "settings" up at the top, its not bringing up you thread anymore..this is the second time in a row, i had to search out your thread and catch up from the past day. I wonder if its tapatalk doing this..it makes my phone ring constantly..lol..i actually hate it. Anyhow, if i remember correctly, pro mix doesnt have any nutes in it, right? arent you supposed to be adding nutes to a soil less mix right from the start?? And your not right? I dont know, maybe im just speaking dumb..so correct me if im wrong..but maybe its simply your girls craving some nutrients.

Hey friend. Could be the tappatalk I dunno. Just re subscribe to my thread and see if that helps. It shows you as lit up green online 24 hours a day. I had to get used it, haha. I'd like "Hey my man Growbee is on, hells yeah" But nope, you weren't there.

Promix has some starter nutes in there but are generally used up within the first 10-12 days in a party cup and maybe 14-15 days in a 32 oz cup like mine. I gave them a foliar of veg nutes yesterday just to make the nutrients available until I get the ph sorted. I think I am going to flush them today when they wake up until I get a proper runoff and then just let them sit through the weekend.

If they don't come back I am pulling them, simple as that. I fucking hate to, but I also hate trying to get them straightened out the entire grow to just end up with nothing in the end(AKA that Crit Mass) haha
She isn't getting any fatter at all and I think I may chop her tomorrow. She never got bloom nutes because everything is so screwy and it takes her over a week to dry out. She's in Promix, but this cheap round plastic pot from Walmart with piss poor drainage holes. Maybe I should give her a feed of bloom and see if she starts to fatten up any at all. She is well over 100 days old.

I think I am going to pull the Diesel Ryder too. I had to trim the bottom leaves, they were dead dead and now it's barely a plant. Reminds me of the Crit Mass.

Like I've said before, Molly is the only one that keeps me happy and going. haha She is fattening up and excites me every time I look in the tent.

 

[growbewan]

dude, you should def throw them some nutes..just raise the ph to what you want it before putting it in..theyre craving them i think.

Alright alright. I got some work done down on the Squid Farm today.

I mixed up about half a gallon of nute mix consisting of Bio Bloom, Bio Weed, Bio Root, a little Diamond Black, a little Silica Blast and a few drops of Superthrive. This was ph'd to 6.5. I split this between Mia(older Critical Mass) and Molly, the MI5. Most of it went to Molly. I collected the first bit of runoff from Molly and it was 6.4. Pretty good eh? So I have been told it's not great to let the Promix dry out all the way, and I have almost been doing that. So I guess the few watering at over 7 during the week did the trick :dance2: She is fattening on up though it's nice. I did a thorough inspection today in good light and noticed a lot of bud action going down. I almost thought I saw some big balls, but it's just these bud pods with hairs sticking out forming. Pretty cool. I will know by late tonight or tomorrow how she likes her first bloom nute feed.

I am also hoping Mia the Critical Mass will start blowing up too. I said yesterday I think that she wasn't filling out any on her small buds, but I think she actually is... There is a little nugget formed down at the bottom on the side branch that I swear is bigger than the top bud! haha. Like I can actually squeeze it a little and feel the density. Maybe another week or two with this bloom feed and she's getting the chop.

I made two gallons of plain ph 6.5 water for flushing. I ran almost a gallon through Dolly the Diesel Ryder until runoff read 6.5. It went from 7 down to 6.5 so I guess I was high there too. I had been running water through with ph over 7 just like Molly but I guess this one got up a bit higher than she did. Either way, she is spot on now with the flush.

I did the same with all four of the dragons too. I didn't even run that much through really(about 23 oz in the 32 oz cup) and I caught the first bit of runoff and they were all 6.3. So I should be good there too and I expect them to turn around in a couple days or so. So I guess my ph was getting off when the Promix dried and raised. This is just my guess. Any suggestions?

So after I got them all flushed and ph on, I gave a light veg nute feed(Bio Grow and a little Black Diamond) to all the dragons and the Diesel Ryder. Surely they can eat now that the ph is on point.

SO...everything is in range right now, let's see if I can keep it there. I am feeling good about all of this though I will have you all know. Thanks so much for all the help I have been getting lately. I couldn't do it without the AFN by my side. This one's for you Well actually I so don't have any pot and haven't smoked all day, but it's the thought that counts.
