Ratdog's 7th go at the chance to win more rolling papers, ratfact!

[ratdog]

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's that time again already! it comes round so fast doesn't it? any way, this year i am growing three strains, do sweet do, blackjack, and jack 47. they will be grown in a soilless mix of gold label "compost" blended with coco with add charge and wormcasts, the ratio is 6/3/1 or close as i can get it, i've already got a tent full of jack 47 using this mix and they look quite happy in the second week of flower so far.

 

lighting will be a 400w hps greenpower for vegging and a 600w greenpower hps for flowering, automated ventilation and horticultural heat mats for the root temperature stability.

 

the tent is a 1m2 for vegging and 1.2m2 for flowering

 

feeding will be seaweed extract for the first week of each pot up, then fishmix until next pot up, then in flower it will be a mix of fishmix and biobizz bloom.

 

so, where are the ladies i hear you ask? well here they come!

 

first up we have the super crystally do sweet do, if you want to make hash you can't go wrong with this heavy hitting resin factory, these three cuttings come from a revegged mum that was left to the sunny weather over the summer.

 

 

next up we have the lovely, well known blackjack, i don;t think i need to say anything about this one, but she's a great couchlock/sleep provider! for me at least. these two cuttings were also from a mum that was revegged in the glorious sunshine we had this summer.

 

 

and finally i have three cuttings that have just recently started showing their roots, jack 47, these cuttings come from the mother plants that are in my flower tent right now, they are quite a stretchy lot so i will be looking to try to train these three to get a bit more control come flowering.

 

 

these are the now famous "ratdog party cups" ™ they are brilliant at maintaining a humid environment and you can see the roots develop without messing them about like i usually do!

 

so there, that's all for today, let the games begin!

Nice start.  I'm really tempted to change my selection to include Blackjack - Mentioning couchlock really has me double guessing.

 

Your clones look a picture of health.

 

Best of luck with both the grow and the competition.

[Exhale]

Good luck with the competition @ratdog!

 

Going to be growing the Jack 47 also for the competition, the Sweet Amnesia Haze has been my go to all day since the last competition so will be nice to see what the Jack's like, it looks a great plant I see @grooving grows a nice selection of it - what's the stretch like?

thanks mate, i'm quite pleased with them at this point seeing as they have been under a t5 for what seems like ages with the younger 47's.  i found a well cooked blackjack will chill you out and leave you asleep on the couch

hello mate, thanks, the stretch is pretty mad on these girls under a new hps, not so bad with cmh on my last run of them so not sure how they will perform under led's. the ones in flower have slowed now and are standing at my shoulder height and i'm 6ft

as promised, the Do Sweet Do is down, and what a pleasure to trim, and sticky and wet as fuck you know how you touch some plants, and they leave your hand feeling wet first then sticky after, well this is it! a good harvest too and smells sweetly divine, i'm going to stick her out in the garden for a hopeful reveg.

 

 

[growinggold]
