Indoor Teetee's MONSTER Glueberry OG, Toofless Alien, Blue Amnesia and Night Queen Auto grow

[WhiteLight]

Hey there @Teetee !!!

They took of mate!! Its like you hit the nitro button, skyrocketed!!

The double OG is coming on nicely. Going to be a big bushy family of buds!

Thanks for the rep buddy! What a nice family zone here in AFN!!

Enjoy the grow TT they really look big and healthy 100%. Nice work! It looks like ALR remembers everything and knows what we are doing even if we forgot about it and he is in the other side of earth Fantastic guy!! God bless all of you!

TeeTee, Bro the girls are looking great, they want a certain temp to germinate. I think doing August grow, will start indoors with something. Those airpots look great, good for the roots and drainage. BBQs are good for Grasshound bus fleets. The BBQs been replaced with gasmate

Ha ha, no offence meant at all mate, I chose to live here, and I really love it, wouldn't wanna go back to the Uk if I could help it.
I call 'em Barbies out of habit but we have the obligatory gas Weber Q..... Bunnings special bought virtually on arrival.... they should hand them out as part of a welcome to Aus kit, along with a couple of pairs of thongs and a snake ID chart.
I really believe airpots are great especially with coco.... perfect air/water ratios and you can't overwater them!

Maybe not so big but every bit as healthy buddy.. at least you know why they aren't as big as usual.. good job

as @WhiteLight said.... the nitro button's been hit

TeeTee, haha they should give Barbie kits , thongs and snake and spider ID chart as the welcome to aussie kit. Could not have choosen a better location than NE NSW SE QLD. Can still see snow when forecast on the Northern Tablelands. I am thinking of diy airpots with holes in the pots i got with mesh around them. Raid is on cart for those gnats ! Thinking of grow 3 some dinafem automazar, auto amensia xxl, maybe sour dissel auto and a cbd dinamed

 

[smokeyfromau]

just be prepared to use 25% more water, due to 80% pot aeration, due to the perforations........... one boon with airpots is this, the base. the bottom, is set up 3-4 holes above the pot bottom, ensuring the plant never sits in water................ this allows valuable oxygen to get into the bottom of the root matrix when grow out........... this defo aids the growth potential, and prevents any anaerobic hydrogen sulfide H2o2 outbreaks.......... to large a pot, and to much energy is re diverted into trying to fill a huge pot with a large root matrix.............. this delays the above ground plant structural growth, somewhat...............

Accordingly, as the plant has a finite life period or time span, better to have a smaller root matrix 15ltrs, and build a proficient, smaller root matrix fast, then above ground plant framework is built faster............... allows more time for ripening the flowers, rather than that time and energy diverted into a huge root matrix build, you get the jist of the energy budget directive though..... glad the grupenleiter, inspectorate, found no issues man................ alls well, best to all your end brva.........Ps, i pm'ed ya yesty......... ALR

Sorry ALR, missed your post. That's good my black pots are about 14L and the large terras are 20L. I'll add more drainage to them and test them with some soil, thanks for the tips, want more flowers and yield. Thanks mate didnt see any PM

Not wrong there Bro. The part we're in feels especially Lawless.... perhaps I've got too used to the freedom of life around here... I feel quite safe sparking up while driving home, but that complacency is gonna get me in the arse if I do that anywhere else!
From what I've heard, QLD cops are worse than NSW, but that's maybe taking the local Cops into consideration rather than the Raptor types in Sydney. I can't imagine it being bery easy to be a day long chugger on the Gold Coast.... someone's gonna trip me up for sure!

I am thinking of diy airpots with holes in the pots i got with mesh around them. Raid is on cart for those gnats ! Thinking of grow 3 some dinafem automazar, auto amensia xxl, maybe sour dissel auto and a cbd dinamed

Nice choice of strains there Brother.... the Amnesia will be the business mate! Sour Diesel too!
I really rate airpots with Coco, the drainage is superb, and you can't drown them! Hope you get on top of the gnat issue...

 

[smokeyfromau]

hey Bro, sounds nice your area without much hastle from the cops. I would believe that with QLD cops, had some really tough laws, example on videos back in the day when i was a teen, i was a fan of horror films and well some were banned in QLD, not sure why really. I would expect the drug laws to be tough, the day cannabis laws are better when that comes, i would not be surprised QLD is last to fall into line.

Thansk Bro, i was loooking at your big grows and read good stuff about Dinafem seeds. Gnat issue is good i think, raid will knock them down. Coco is the stuff from Bunnings, coir? I might add that with my soil and perlite, and make diy airpots.

Hi, it's been a while since the last update, and plenty's been going on...

The last pics were from day 23. As a reminder, here's a group shot.....

clockwise from top left: Toofless Alien, Blue Amnesia XXL, Glueberry OG and Night Queen

Here's how they were on day 29....


Look at that Night Queen, she was taking off! The Glueberry has also been busy! I've been training the main stems of the Siamese Twins to either side.

Here they are on day 36....


the Blue Amnesia is moving up a gear and is now bigger than the Toofless Alien. That's no surprise, the Blue Amnesia gets huge, and so does the Glueberry. Toofless Alien is a smaller but very lovely looking plant in general, and this one's no exception.

..... and today on day 40.....


Lots to say about this picture.... let's start with the Night Queen..... lots of brown leaves.
Here she is back on day 29... not looking too bad.....


But can you see those yellow tips just starting to show in the new growth of the main stem?


I was surprised as she was drinking the most, and growing the fastest.
I have been really easy on the feeds. They all started on an EC 0.7 mix, increasing to EC 0.8 after day 13. They all looked great, and this one especially took off.
I give her about 6L daily getting run off pH of 5.8 but the EC was 0.9... slightly higher than the input feed of EC 0.8 (but then so are the others and they are fine)
Temps are good, 20°C at night for 4 hours then 18 hours of light with temps up to 29°C

By day 35, all the tops were showing yellow tips.....




.....and also some brown patches on the mid to older fan leaves...






I thought over feeding at first... nute burn maybe... but she was drinking well, and growing nicely too, so I left it, but now the patches...
I thought that might be Cal Mag deficiency, especially the Mag side of things?

So I lowered the EC of the feed to 0.7 and increased the amount of Cal Mag from 0.2ml/L to 0.3ml/L

By day 38 she stopped drinking, but was still growing.... in fact she was ahead of the others, flowers starting to form on lots of tops.

I decided to start flushing her with EC 0 pH 5.8 water, and have been doing that for the last 2 days, and the EC of the run off has dropped to EC 0.3 pH 5.9, so I reckon tomorrow I'll start back on the feeds again..... I just want to have her drinking a bit before I crack on again with her.

Here she is today on day 40.... looking a little worse for wear, but she's stabilised, and no more leaves are going patchy....




Glueberry is also an interesting plant, she is a couple of Siamese twins, and I've had to train her main stems out to either side to let both twins grow.
The smaller twin has no chance against the might of her bigger sister..... bending over the stems has made her enormous, and the little'un is just tucked away under the foliage.

Here she is on day 29... and that's all the Big Sis, her main stem is at 9 o clock, and Lil Sis is under the leaves at 3 o clock.

I'm very impressed with the effects of training the main stem out to the side.... all the side stems come up and out giving an enormous canopy full of flowering tops. I might do this routinely in future grows.
Here she is today on day 40, spreading out nicely....


I'm thinking of installing a Skyline 100 as a side light to help out Lil Sis. Poor thing... I should have put her out of her misery a long time ago.

Toofless Alien is chugging along nicely, Previous Aliens I've done have been beautiful plants with lovely structure and solid buds, so I'm hoping this one will be the same... so far, so good.
Here she is on day 40, again loads of flowering tops....


Blue Amnesia is an XXL plant, so takes a little longer in veg, she's very bushy and the tops are showing through after a bit of leaf tucking....


Yup, she's also getting yellow tips..... I'm hoping she's not gonna go the same way as the Night Queen....
All of them (except the flushing Queen) are on an EC 0.8 pH 5.8 feed, with increased Cal Mag and a splash of Nitrogen Boost to help them get that structure in for the impending Buddage.

Thanks for taking a look, I have more updates on the way.

 

[Teetee]

Just a quick update, my forehead is red and sore from repeated facepalming....

OK so I WAS keeping the EC of the feed low, 0.8 is pretty low for week 6 by anyone's standards.

The problem was the Nitrogen Boost I was adding as it has an NPK of 27-0-0, and I've been giving it at 0.5ml/L this grow, where normally I max at 0-3 to 0.4ml/L and give a bit more A&B instead.

The clue was in the leaves.... in general, very dark green, so despite having a low feed strength, the high Nitrogen content was causing the problems.... DOH!!!

The Night Queen got burned, then locked out and this resulted in the Cal-Mag deficiencies as it had stopped taking up any nutrient..... the tips on the Blue Amnesia (like I said in the last post) and Glueberry were just starting to do this ao I had to act fast to prevent them locking out as well......

So as well as the Night Queen, I flushed them ALL with plain EC 0 pH 5.8 water, and got the run off on all of them down from EC 1.0 to around EC 0.3 over 2-3 days during the weekend.

Then I mixed up a standard EC 0.7 feed made up with just the A&B, some Roots Excellurator and Multizyme and gave that as a recovery feed.

NPK of the new feed was 3.1-1.5-4.7 compared to 15.8-0.9-2.9 when I was giving the EC 0.8 feed with 0.5ml/L Nitrogen boost.

I've given this for 2 days now, the run off is EC 0.6 for all of them, and they are all drinking very well again. Run off pH is looking good and all.

They are all in flower now.... the Blue Amnesia is still a bit behind the others, but is shaping up well for a big finish.... and the other 3 are looking great.... the Glueberry is gonna be a huge one, the Toofless Alien is gonna be the pretty one, and I have high hopes for the Night Queen as well, even though her leaves have suffered a bit.

Here they are today on day 45 as a group. Exactly at the halfway mark!
I swapped the Night Queen and the Alien to give the (enormous) Glueberry and the Night Queen some more space....

Clockwise from top left, Night Queen, Blue Amnesia, Glueberry OG and Toofless Alien

Thanks for taking an interest, and I hope you'll continue to visit they progress into the usual monsters.

 

[Teetee]

Looks like the pre-flowering flush worked... they are all progressing well.
In just 3 days, look how the tent's filled out...

I continued giving the EC 0.7 feed for a few days, and they are very happy. They are drinking about 7-10 Litres a day, and so I upped the EC to 0.8 last night, just by adding some Bud XL and not changing the levels of Base nutrient.
The run off was at EC 0.5 to 0.6, so I'll check that again tonight to see if they are OK with the increase.

So day 48.... here we go!

Glueberry is like she's on steroids....

Have a careful look and find the green soft tie ring, it's just above the centre of the pot......

.... that's Lil Sis.... completely overshadowed by her dominant Sister. She has gone into a bit of a stretch though, so she wants to give me something.
Big Sis is colossal.... she has countless stems all stretching away...

She could have a tent of her own... she's 90cm x 85cm wide and 97cm tall.... and just 48 days into it.

I have decided to dust off my trusty Photon 126 LED.... vintage LED Hydroponics kit that helped me pull that legendary kilo from 2 AutoUltimates. Thank you once again, @muddy-ledhydroponic
The Glueberry needs more light, and the others could use a little more as well, so I also set up the 2x Skyline 100's as well...
Have a look at my LED collection...

I have some old Helios 2's sitting around somewhere... but maybe that's too much?

Anyhow, here's the others, starting with Toofless Alien...

She's filling out nicely, just motoring on quite happily...

Night Queen is also happy, and seems to have recovered from her overdose of Nitrogen and subsequent lock out...

Plenty of potential in her still......

Blue Amnesia is behind the others in terms of flowering, but she's coming along nicely....

... and she's starting to stretch, so watch this space.... she'll be a lot bigger soon!

That's it for now, have a good one!

Glueberry is flying bro, another jungle on it way.
