White Rhino Second grow 1st log

[ncnavguy]

Hello all, my first attempt at a grow ended disastorously when my GF knocked over my pot and broke the stems, so this time I'm taking alitte more care and placed my grow in a closet. Other wise its fairly simple, its 3 weeks from the seed and I started w. nutriants last week and also upgraded from a shitty 75w. floro to 2 100w/24w CFL's 6500k. Planning on transplanting in 2 weeks, may do it sooner.

[D Rock]

So you started giving nutes on week 2? My plants are at 2 weeks today and I was wanting to give them nutes, but was told that they might not be ready for nutes this early. here is my grow log if you care to look.

I just transplanted today so I will wait till they are not stressed from the transplant.

Your plants look very healthy and seem to be doing good. Are you going to add more light as they get bigger? I bet they would really like a transplant right now, I bet those roots are all circling the outside of the soil check em out. Good luck with your grow Bro.

[YaYoKush]

Your plants are looking great for 3 weeks bro, ill be followin your grow so good luck

I gave my plants first nutes after two weeks when I transplanted them in to bigger pots. Not full nutes of course, but some.

My first grow http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/122950-first-time-grow-4bb-s-pics.html

First of all thanx for all the cool comments guys, growing is such a good feeling. I just finished transplanting into 17 quart containers, and for all 6 plants took about 140lbs of soil. I upgraded to 6 24w/100w CFLs 6500K so basically one per plant. I bought 30 cents of yarn from walmart and am using it as guy wires to keep my lights in line. Some of my older leaves are slighty curling so I started spraying them as they felt really dry. I am kinda worried about watering because, I know it should take more than when they were in the 16 oz. dixie cups but I don't know how much.

[YaYoKush]

No worries man there in good shape

[Weedhound]

They look very good...:thumbsup:

[ncnavguy]

Heres my first attempt at lst'ing, just 2 of the six plants so far, I waiting for the others to get a little taller, the are staying low and growing out. Lots of new growth showing up on the lower nodes.... Oah yeah and a pic of my guard dog!

[Weedhound]

Like your pup there. If you pull your cfls back a few inches your plants will start stretching alittle ad you can lst them easier. As short as they are now you're going to have a hard time there.

Thanks for the advice Weedhound, I think I will pull the CFL's back a few inches so I can add a little height to the plants. I was so worried about over streching them before , and when I transplanted them I burried the stems right up the first nodes.

Here are a plethora of pics of my whit rhinos at one month. Gonna start flowering in two more weeks. They've grown fat and bushy, I've put onions and coffee grounds as a method of odor control, and it works for now. My mom and sister are coming to visit next week for a few days, and while they know I smoke I think I'll keep the grow secret as a matter of good practice. Be safe and keep growin!:thumbsup:

BTW the last picture is by far my most sickly plant, its leaves are curled up and one the fans have split and kept growing as can be seen in the pic

[growin then tokin]

wow you got some pretty babys cept that last one shes funky

keep at it, and dont let your gf near em.

[smokedoja]

nice n short n bushy..... just the way i like em!!!

[ncnavguy]

Been awhile since I put something up here. I had a neighbor get raided a couple houses down, and I got a little paranoid. Seeing the cops go flying down my street had me like wtf. Anyways I'm down to 3 plants (murdered the males by the end on the first week of flowering.) They seem to be okay, now I'm using 3 42w 2700k CFL and 3 24w 6500k CFL's togather, as soon as I can get more doe I'll switch over to all 2700k bulbs.

[ncnavguy]

Here we are at week 3 of flower. Plants seem to be doing okay, I added 3 more 150w CFL 's @ 2700k I'm thinking that I'm done with lights this grow. Trichrome production is coming along and I'm just wanting the buds to grow.:thumbsup:

[ncnavguy]

Some tops with crystals,
Heres some of the trichs on the tops.

[Kind]

Excellent looking rhinos there dude! You should start to see the weight pile on sometime after day 40, they really start to put on the weight and trichs in the last few weeks. I hope you score a nice indica pheno, they are covered in crystals!!!

[ncnavguy]

Thx dude, I went over to look at your grow log on the other site, its pretty sweet, I think for next grow I'll upgrade to a 400 or 600w hps.

[hydrocannabis]

looks like some killer plants/buds bro.

[wesley willis]

looking very nice. even the sickly plant doesn't look all that sickly. a few times i had a plant in a batch that wouldnt grow for the longest time, then would take off and be bigger than the rest in no time at all. good luck.

[ncnavguy]

Thanks for all the good feedback. I hope to end up with buds like in your avatar one day hydro:stoned: Yeah since the plants are all have the same enviromental variables, I gotta think that the sickly one comes from an unstable pheno, I got the seeds from Nirvana and I've heard that while the germ rates are good you can run into some inconsitancy later during a grow.

[ncnavguy]

Here's a couple of pics of my dog doing his daily duties:jointsmile: and a quick flit of plant porn

[Cannabis476]

Wow those are nice man.... really nice! what kind of yeild do you expect from that? its going to be nice!

[canupuffit]

wow, real nice
keep it going:jointsmile:

[ncnavguy]

Wow those are nice man.... really nice! what kind of yeild do you expect from that? its going to be nice!

I don't know what I'm going to get at this point, Between weeks 6 and 7 is where I've seen most plants pack on most of the weight. I'm hoping for .5 oz per plant, but we'll see. I've spent $100 total on the grow, so what ever I get back will be worth it + I learned a valuable lesson in that white rhino really likes to be tied down. The plant I LST'd is has the most colas with the biggest buds so far.

[ncnavguy]

Taking a break from halo to post some pic's of frosty buds and go for a run. Can't sit in front of the boob toob all the time right?

[killerweed420]

Looking good. How much longer till harvest?

[Kind]

Looks great! I chopped mine @ 55 days and it was superb smoke, but I wish it would have gone @ least 60 days. I'd recommend going that long, they really pour on the resin/weight in those last days. I regret choppin early =(

[ncnavguy]

Thanks! They are at day 32 right now, I'm going to go to day 60 like kind suggests! man but its hard to wait!

[Kind]

Yup its hard, VERY HARD! I gave in to temptation and it hurt me so just hang in there bro and be strong!!!

[Unknownfigure]

Are you taking any clones?

And yes, it is hard, but just fantasize until the time is near. Just think about how sticky, how white, how fresh, how smelly, and how MUCH that bud will be once the 60th day comes.


What's the average temperature for the room?

Thanks for stopping by. I didn't take any clones this time, I just wanted to get a grow to completion under my belt, will probably take some clippings from the next grow. The average temps range from 72 at night to 77 during the day. some of the calyx's are turning brown but I'm assuming thats its natural as its happening at upper and lower budsites and I'm halfway through week 6 of the grow. I'll post some more pics in a moment.

[ncnavguy]

Here's a pic of the trio and individual shots of each plant

[ncnavguy]

I finally figured out if you turn off the light above the plant it brings the crystals into higher contrast, these are all things of beauty:thumbsup:

[Forwhat420]

very very nice. looks emmmmmmm good. bet that will smoke good!!!!!!

[Forwhat420]

now all you have to do is wait for those puppies to swell. it will happen seems like overnight.

[Kind]

Nice bro.... Looks like you scored a few indica phenos, those are the best ones for that strain.

[Mr. Brown]

what nutes are you using?

[ncnavguy]

what nutes are you using?

For flowering I used Foxfarm Tigerbloom. Whiterhino seemed to be a plant that really liked alot of nutrients as I fed it heavily and did not end up with any nute burn. For vegging I used FoxFarm GrowBig. They both worked out well for me. I've flushed my plants at this point and its all fresh water for them for now on till they get the chop. One of them is comeing down this sunday, the other two in a couple of weeks, I'll post more pics soon.:jointsmile:

[ncnavguy]

Not much more to say or do, they've all been flushed and are simply awaiting the right time to chop, its been a learning experience and I will use my mistakes to help make the next grow better:smokin:

[RhinoGrowUK]

You got your self a few nice little nugs there for your 1st grow, nice 1 :thumbsup:

[RhinoGrowUK]

2nd grow i meant :hippy:

[ncnavguy]

You got your self a few nice little nugs there for your 1st grow, nice 1 :thumbsup:

Thank you sir! I can't wait to try out the smoke from it after a good cure. My first grow didn't really count anyway as my girlfriend accidently toppled the chest holding my plants and broke them, but it all worked for the better as I got to come to these boards and get some great info from all you growers to make a little dank!:stoned:

[Unknownfigure]

Your girls are beautiful. If you really want to scavange every little bit from them, you could collect the nicer-looking foliage from the plants and try to collect a little kief when you manicure.


I like to cure mine for about three weeks, but that's just me. ;) Your taste buds will tell you when it's time. + Rep for those lovely ladies!

[Duke420]

Damn dude, nice grow with cfl's. I'm impressed!:thumbsup:

I get results like that with my 1000hps.

Keep up what your doing, you got it figured out.

[ncnavguy]

My sickly plant was doing bad so I cut it 10 days early, well its for the scrum now. Still got two more healthy ones that they'll go to harvest.

[spongebobsmokepants]

rep up nav guy! thats a great grow!
