| My Veggy Light Day 11 |
A 240watt 4ft floro veggy grolite!
11 dayz after sprout. 24/0 light cycle! |
08/14/07 |
| BirdzEye Day 11 |
My Veggy Guano Tea Mix Regimen: Mix 1/3 cup of each organic element into a 5 gallon bucket of water. I use a fountain water pump to aerate this mixture. I don't use air pumps because it causes the presences of Bubbles overflowing from the bucket! I allow 48hrs of dry cycle before I water! The only soil amendments I used was dolomitic lime. This was probably unnecessary since there's plenty of Magnesium & Calcium in Tap Water... |
08/14/07 |
| Day 21: Ak47 |
5 gallon pots. Transplanted shot.
The Guano Tea Mix is "dummy proof"; and is Eco-Friendly! |

| Day 26 Ak47 |

The Ak47 is sativa pheno dominant |
08/25/07 |
| BirdzEye Day 26 |
It's very hot in there but they don't seem to mind...maybe becuz the 5 gallon pots haver a 2inch layer of perlite for the water taps to feed 'em the drainage water.My Soil Mix Formula: 50% Composted Potting Soil, 30% Perlite, 20% EarthWorm Castings with a 2" Layer of Perlite&Charcoal to prevent over/underwatering. |
08/25/07 |
| Day 26 Canopy Pot Shot! |
It gets Really Hot in there to around 88f to 95f but they seem to like it!
I will hafta widen the passive intake later on! **Udate: I upgraded to an "active intake fan"...less than $10 @ Walmart! Temperature is now steady @ 82.6F ! |
08/25/07 |
| Day 26 Canopy II 800watts |
With the 400w HPS and 400w MH in view! Very Nice Shot! ***Update: I added another desktop fan; so now I have an "active" intake. Temperature stays@82.6F...so far so good!
But surprisingly, they look extremely healthy an I'm happy with the new growth! This is 48hrs after the 800watt Regimen of 24/0 light cycle. |
08/25/07 |
| Day 21 Transplanted Kush |
Growing very fast! Right after transplanting into a 5 gallon pot.
They won't fit under the 240w flouros anymore; so I'll put 'em under the 400w HPS next! |
08/25/07 |
| Day 26 Left Side Canopy |
NYCD on top right
Purple Rhino by itz left.
Explosive growth under 400watts(5dayz) oppossed to the 240watt flouros.
Went 5 days of 400w. Now 48hrs after upgrading to 800w regimen.
|
08/25/07 |
| Day 21Purple Rhino |
Freshly transplant at end of week 2 to a 5gallon pot! Wait 2 weekz & they will show the dramatic explosion of growth! I must also switch to 400w since they won't fit under the flouros anymore... |
08/25/07 |
| Recovering PowerPlant Day 26 |
On Day 12: I overwatered some of them! Ph went wacky causing nute deficiencies/stress on mostly the powerplant strains. The other strains handled the overwatering well! IN the 5 gallon buckets: it's practically impossible to overwater-i know that now! The powerplant in the small center orange pot lost all of its fan leaves becuz i drown them! That's what happens when you don't leave a 2 inch layer of perlite on the bottom for proper drainage! Yes-the 5gallon pots are all layered with Perlite...and I'm already sure that the Cannabis Water tap roots have already reached it! It's almost like a passive hydroponic wick system! Awsome! |
08/25/07 |
| Day 13 transplanted into 5 gallo |
48hrs in the big pots and they are adjust well. I give 'em Guano Tea Mix Once per Week. I allow 48hrs of dry before I water! They need 5 gallons every watering. I used strictly tap water aired out overnite. |
08/25/07 |
| Day 26 Canopy III |
48hrs under the extra 400 w MH HID and they look AWSOME. Even though Heat is a Major Factor...there growth is explosive despite 95f closet temp due to the extra 400w MH! Humidity around 44%.By having an "active intake desktop fan"; temperature's stabilized @ 82.6F! YES! |
08/25/07 |
| Stanley Blower & Carbon Air Scru |
I had to also add an "active" intake by enlarging it and installing a desktop fan. So far so good....it used to be 95f with the door closed on an 800w 24/0 regimen. I checked the temp. 24hrs later and it's stable at 82.6F !! Excellent! |
08/26/07 |

| DAY 40 -Purple Rhino .Female |
My Bushiest&Shortest purple rhino girl outta the 3.
Transition Phase Guano Tea Regimen: mix 1/3 cup of each organic element into 5 gallons of water: PSG, Indonesian Bat Guano, EWC, & Kelp. Use a fountain pump to agitate it overnite. I sometimes wet the soil with dechlorinated tap water before I water with the Guano Tea Transition Phase Regimen. Administer Guano Tea Twice Per Week. This mix keeps Nitrogen levels @ minimum while boosting Phosphorus Levels to minimize stretching. |

Kush 1 unpruned main cola. Indica's definitely grow fast with picture perfect "commercial" type of buds. Very skunky indeed! It will finish before the rest of 'em for sure. |
10/07/07 |
| Day70 Pruned Kush: Wk 5 of 12/1 |
Pruned Skunky Kush. Best smelling outta the two Kushes. I thought it would branch like crazy when I pruned it one time; but i was wrong. Now i simply have to heads instead of one.
Smells very sweet & skunky! |
10/07/07 |
| Day70 Metal Halide View: Wk 5 o |
Metal Halide shot. The vertical setup really does keep the heat within "the sweet spot". Plants don't look stressed at all! |
10/07/07 |
| Day70 NYCD 1: Wk 5 of 12/12 |
NYCD 1. My best of both NYCDs. Look at how short & stout she remains. The smell is definitely not "fruity"; more like "citrus"; not like Kush at all. Smells more like skunky & musky than sweet & fruity. I think NYCD#2 smells better. |
10/07/07 |
| Day70 NYCD 2 : Wk 5 of 12/12 |
NYCD 2. Very many tops; yet she remains short & stout! Smells like citrus grapefruit. Smells more like sweet& fruity than skunky & musky. |

NYCD#1 on left; pruned kush#2 on right. NYCD#1 smells more musky than fruity. No sweet smell; more like tangy grapefruit. |

| Day70 Purple Rhino 1 : Wk 5 of |
purple rhino 1. Wow! Look how beautiful she looks! Calyxes are swollen and the hairs are actually curly rather than spikey! This Lolita is Smokin'! PR#2 smells fruitier, sweeter & more piney than this though. |
10/07/07 |
| Day70 purple rhino#2. Best Smell |
purple rhino#2 smells the fruitiest! Very sweet&piney! Not the musky skunky scent of the Kush. |
10/07/07 |
| Day70 NYCD# 2: Wk 5 of 12/12 |
NYCD #2. very multiple tops. I am so pleased with this Soma strain! Smells like fruity citrus grapefuit. Much less musky skunk than NYCD#1. |
10/07/07 |
| DAY 87: Week 7 of 12/12 |
NYCD #2. As you can see; I had to stake them because she was gaining a lot of weight really fast! She's luvin' the Guano Tea Regimen! Note: I didn't water my garden for 6 entire days just to see how much stress they can handle. Results: other than signs of heat stress due to underwatering; they all handled the stress very well! |

| Week 8.5 Harvest: NYCD & PR#1 |
Left: NYCD.
right:PR#1
My friend stopped by and said they were ready. So I chopped 'em an hour ago. The shorter/bushier one is NYCD. PR#1 didn't turn purple. It remained a white rhino. Still very amazing to look at! I cannot place my hands completely around neither of 'em...so they are definitely ready! |
10/27/07 |
| Week 8.5 Harvest: NYCD & PR#1 |
I had trouble getting both plants entirely into view! The box itself is over 4 feet tall! |
10/27/07 |
| Week 8.5 Harvest: PR#1 |
Looks slender; but I still can't completely place my hand around it! |

| Collage NYCD#2; PR#1 |
This harvest yield surpassed my expectations...I fear that I may not need to buy commercial weed ever again! |
10/30/07 |
| PR#1 a little drier |
This doesn't smell as good as PR#2; but it still smells fruity. PR#@ smell exactly like Welch's Grape Soda...I kID u NOT! |
10/30/07 |
| PR#1 a little drier: lighter |
lighter shot: PR#1 is much prettier than nycd or kush to look at. Even thought it didn't turn purple...the orangeness is obvious! I can easily spot the Purple Rhino#1 amongst the other strains with no effort. |
10/30/07 |
| nycd#1 a little drier: lighter s |
It certainly has a sour scent to it...which smells incredible! |
10/30/07 |
| nycd #2 a little drier: close-up |
It's lost a lot of moisture; and shrank quite noticeable. But the density is still there; so is the super strong sour skunky odor! |
10/30/07 |
| nycd a little drier: midsection |
This nycd#2 is very pungent: kinda like gasoline. It is named appropriately. |
10/30/07 |
| nycd#2: aunaturale |
She is ready for the chop. Milky and Amber is now obvious. |

10/30/07 |
| Where's Waldo 4 |
I don't have an issue with the "lawn clipping smell" phenomena. Me thinks thatz becuz 800watts and over 4gal per plant of High Quality soil with at least 8 weeks of 12/12 will ensure that "Bag Appeal" that every Homegrower aspires for! |
