Flowering 2 Master Kush

[Opie Yutts]

What lighting do you have Opie?

I've got a 400W MH cool tube and a 600W HPS sealed hood (basically a cool tube, without the tube shape). Been tossing around the idea of trying an all CFL veg cycle though. My plants in veg grow way faster than I need them too.

[Weedhound]

That's funny....I want mine to grow FASTER!! Bigger!! I'm really excited about my new lighting and maybe I got spoiled by starting off with a an mh (my 1 kw ballast is switchable) and have never really been happy vegging with cfls. Hope you like them better.

Hey Jack....long time no see...:). What are you growing these days?

[xcrispi]

Hi Sis .
You wern't kidding about the 2 Snl x N.H plants . They're crazy diferent . All 4 I did here looked very very much like the 1st. of your pics a cpl. posts back . The only other plant in the room at the time of the breeding was a single Church plant and we didn't see any nanas on it , you may have a Snl / N.H x Church ? Only god really knows . Either way they look real good . :thumbsup:

Your Weedhounds mix / Indica Dom. plant here is going nutz btw , even after me torturing it like I did . Buds all over it on 13th day of bloom . When we do the crazy dirt grow this summer I promise I'll tryn make you a mess of femin. seeds from this strain , maybe "Daddysgirl" also .

Maybe we'll get somemore feedback on your strain in the near future . Santa sent 9 strains / 60 beans to our Big Blue furry Brother up there by the Northpole to try out , 10 of which were W/H Mix . :)

God Bless Sis .

Hey Weedhound

Yea has been a while since I posted regularly, been a lot of rumors around my area that our version of your DEA had got tech savvy. Personally I think it was just some folk fishing my friend who I helped get set up to see why they are no longer smoking the solid plastic But better safe than busted & our sadist officers do like kicking the doors in on christmas morning.

Finished my run of clones before going to the Dam. Only real plant I have just now is my attempt at a bonsai mother. Have added some pics. It is in soil now but it didn't start that way. Did the usual with the clones plonked them in the 1" rockwool cubes then the 4 " cubes and hand watered untill the roots show through. The extra 2, I put in pots with hydroton surrounding the cube & hand watered. After the first lot of LST & shaping I re potted one cutting all the hydroton & roots off untill it was back at the rockwool cube then stuck it in a pot with soil. My friend is having a go at doing me the clones for my next run & I am germing some Super Silver Haze, Crimea Blue & Violator Kush. Going to try something similar with those in the mothering cabinet I am working on. On top of that I need to get two grow tents, the cool shade etc.. so its time to spend cash again. Great hobby/addiction but it costs almost as much as another child, no wonder we call the plants babies.:)

If the clones that are being prep'd for me take ok then I was thinking of flowering this mother, then re vegging it. At the end I was thinking of finding a nice place outside for it where I could stick it & let it go wild. Would like to see a natural strain develop where I live.

[Opie Yutts]

That's a lot of green in a little space. Nice LST.

[JackHerer]

Cheers Opie, I wouldn't show you the original cabinet I had her in out of shame. Wasn't any bigger than she is now so I guess the build up of green was probably helped by the fact the lights weren't so much above her as in the middle & surrounding her.

[MVP]

It's taken me a few days to get the problem identified but it comes down to my (hanna) meter being screwed up and giving me the incorrect ph on all my plants.......despite the fact that it calibrates dead on for both 7.01 and 4.01. I love that. :wtf:
It's been reading way low....I believe because of colder temps in the w/f buckets. I was finally able to figure it out by pulling out my OLD hanna and calibrating and working with that. (the "old" hanna is actually the better one but more of a hassle to use.)

I have a new ph meter on the way that i'm excited about...supposed to be the bees knees of ph meters. It will be WONDERFUL to be able to trust what the damn meter is telling me. :thumbsup:

WH, I'm interested in this since I believe we are using the same gear: so what PH pen are you using now? And the bad Hanna -- I want to know what model it is that has been giving false readings. Also what is the new meter you are getting?

Thanks

MVP

[Weedhound]

SO......I've learned a few painful lessons about the ph and tds meters in the past week or so. First my hanna model # 98130 starting flaking out with ph measurements. I changed the battery and probe recently so no excuses there....simply erratic readings that cause me to adjust the ph too high (reading way low) even though I checked it frequently and it read calibration solutions dead on. Sometimes the reading was correct....sometimes not. Sometimes it would read the same thing two different ways within a few minutes It was reading the ppms fine though.

So second meter...a hanna 91829 WAS working fine but then crashed out yesterday leaving me with no way to measure ppms and although the ph function worked....it had to be recalibrated every few hours (and checked constantly to make sure it was still calibrated.) So here is what I have learned so far:

1. I hate my hannas and will never buy a hanna again.
2. You need to have a back up ph tester for your f*cking back up ph tester Buy some drops to have on hand......at least those are consistent.
3. I hate my hannas and will never buy a hanna again.

I have a truncheon ph tester on the way....somewhat pricey but I have heard NOTHING but great things about them and am sick to death of wondering if the ph tester is working TODAY and these came highly recommended. Between calibrating the stupid SECOND hanna every few minutes and the drops I'll make it until it arrives......:D

I picked up an oakton tds tester today also. Very basic....only reads tds....not e.c but super easy to calibrate and very easy to use. If I find I miss having an e.c. reading I'll buy another meter since I have discovered it doesn't matter HOW MANY you have on hand....you never have enough. I don't usually go by e.c. though so not sure if I will miss it or not.

[JackHerer]

Sounds like your having a bad week for gadgets WH. Are these testing solutions widely available my PH meter came second hand read the bottled water as the 7.0 printed, but I never thought it could be off.

[Weedhound]

Hi Jack....you know you turned into a growing monster when my back was turned....what's up with that? :D

Yes....they are standard solutions that you buy and include some with a ph of 7.01 and 4.01 (some ph meters require a 2 point calibration.....which I don't understand what that means but you have to use both solutions with 2 point calibration) and also tds and ec solutions set at a standard strength (i use tds 1500) to keep your meters calibrated and working correctly. ;)

[Opie Yutts]

JackHerer, the calibration solutions are available on line or at hydro shops. You should calibrate at least every 6 months, 3 is more safe. Also do not use old solutions as they can be wrong (found out the hard way). Grab the farthest one back on the shelves, not the older ones in the front that they want you to buy.

Everyone, I've had pretty good luck with my Control Wizard brand stuff. Inexpensive, durable, and accurate (I think). I want to buy a real nice expensive one some day soon, but my separate PPM and PH meters have done me real good so far. Also low batteries give false readings. I found that out the hard way as well. The batteries that came in my PPM pen were almost dead. I took it back and they gladly replaced them. And those batteries can cost almost as much as a new pen.

[Opie Yutts]

some ph meters require a 2 point calibration.....which I don't understand what that means but you have to use both solutions with 2 point calibration

In case you lost your directions, I'll save you some trouble: You calibrate the 7 first and the 4 second.

[JackHerer]

Cheers Opie & WH will get some of those solutions over the next couple of weeks, then I'll be back with the how, when & you really mean questions.:D

Thanks I consider your comments a sincere compliment WH all I have learned is that as was explained during my grow log along with the extra tips on how to use the search function here. I am just happy the time I am spending learning is proving worthwhile & glad you like me midget mommie.:jointsmile:

I dismantled my cupboard & put the clothes back into it to much a security issue with the gas engineers doing an annual service on the boiler next door to it. Hence the two tents I just bought on ebay today, skint again but no worries there just getting my share of the cash before the children have it all for christmas.:rasta:

I'll of course get some pics going of my new strains when they start popping up, but I'll probably do a current growings on type thread ala Xcrispi as I can't garauntee posting regularly enough to make a grow log worthwhile to the community.

[Weedhound]

Have had several things happen in the last week. Guess c-dot isn't the only one going through changes. :wtf:

First is Kushette. I'm afraid she is no more. :( I had been noticing that she was starting to take longer and longer to drain water and I was starting to get VERY concerned about flooding since that seems to be a favorite trick of my plants in the w/fs. I drilled several extra holes in the sides of her bucket but I noticed that it really was NOT seeming to make much difference. If you look at the pics below I'm sure you will see why. :eek:

While I knew she was living on borrowed time I DID have an VERY unexpected thing happen which made my mind up for me. I found SEEDS in my most recent grow....KUSHETTE SEEDS!!! :yippee: So far I have found SIX beautiful big looking seeds with a sem-thorough look through my stash and there may very well be a few more.

This is the first time EVER I have found seeds in my plants. I've always trusted Reverse to take care of that issue for me....and until now it always has. Why did I get seeds this time? No clue.:confused: But I DEFINITELY consider it my own little X-mas present from Kushette. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

:jumphappy:

[Weedhound]

So with the help of my VERY good friend X-C (*hug*) I've FINALLY managed to accomplish making my waterfarms a recirculating system and may I say it has been worth the wait. :thumbsup: I LOVE this new sytem and so do my plants.....they have commenced to growing like giant redwood trees in a speedrace or something. This is a strain that X-Crispi got 19 oz off of one plant and while I don't think mine will be doing anything along that line they certainly are NOT wanting in the bud department. And they are only HAFLWAY towards the finish mark.

The system is pretty much jerryrigged. I was seriously too afraid to drill holes in the w/f's to accomplish a daisy chain effect so I had to work something out that would pull the water from the buckets without simply pulling the water from the original rez and putting it back (the "path of least resistance" theory) so in the end I set things up on a timer with the tubing set up in such a way that the path of least resistance was from the buckets to the pump and not from anywhere else. I FINALLY got that to happen the way I wanted. :yippee:

The ph has stabilized very well.....goes up about 0.3-0.4 a day which is a HUGE difference from before. The ph would EASILY rise a point a day during this stage on out in the grow and this appears to have held that in check. I adjust ph once a day from ONE bucket.....just like X-C says.....and no having to lift the plants out of the w/f's to check things.......how NICE for my back. :thumbsup:

Right now I have the system set up to run once every four hours (six times a day) but with the cute little digital timer I can do it up to 12-14 times a day if needed. So far every four hours seems to be working wonderfully so it may be awhile before I change that around and see if more or less works better. ;)

[MVP]

Good stuff WH, I tried twice to get a recirc system to work but I have such a small space it is not worth the hassle - the tubing bends were too sharp and nothing could be moved around at all. Must have wasted $50 and a weeks worth of free time trying, but the space constraint kicked my butt.

Good news is that I have enough supplies to try it again once I reconfigure my grow space. But instead I have decided to try my hand at a SCROG, since that approach seems most well suited to my small area and 400W HPS lighting.

P.S. Love that Kushette left behind gifts for the holidy season... :) Stop by my new log sometime as I am just getting the BD's set to go into the area today or tomorrow.

[Weedhound]

Thanks MVP....you should have seen my face when I found one. :eek: I was grinding some weed in a strainer and there was one little seed sitting there. At first i didn't even recognize that it WAS a seed......it's been so LONG!!! And the sloooooow trip through my brain that:

1. It truly WAS a seed
2. The seed was a female
3. The seed was from Kushette
4. THERE MAY BE MORE OF THEM!!!!!

And it snowballed from there. :D

[Opie Yutts]

Oh happy day.

[JackHerer]

You have a lot of very interesting stuff happening WH glad its all in the one thread. Nice christmas present from your plant.
Can't wait to see a 19oz plant.

[Opie Yutts]

Kushette... I'm afraid she is no more. :(

SON

BITCH

Now I'm pissed. I know this is your fault, but I can't help feeling responsible in some way. Sometimes lately I've been wondering if you ever really did love our baby. Get out! Just pack your shit and leave. Now!

[Weedhound]

Wow....you aren't one for talking things out are you? :S2: You're a hard one to love Opie......:eek:

BUT I DO SO WHAT THE HELL RIGHT? :D

I have SEEDS....i'm so happy about that I could split!! I've been watching her.....seeing the progression of slower and slower draining......but I just COULDN'T do it so the seeds ROCKED!! :thumbsup: I'd actually been wondering if a hammer and some knitting needles or some thing could put a few drain holes down in her "rootball" if that's what you want to call it. Looking at it now......I seriously doubt it would have worked. :wtf:

[xcrispi]

Hey Sis .
Glad the recirc. is working out for you . It was the biggest improvement I made to my system yet . Makes it almost manageable .

Here's pics. of the Snl x Nev. Haze you asked for from the last grow . We've got about 6-7 ounces left now . :stoned:

Talk more tomorrow when I have some time .
Peace

[Opie Yutts]

WH,
I'm not sure if you've said already, but what was that medium for kushette, and have you used it before? It looks like common aquarium gravel. I know you probably want closure and want to move on. I was just curious. I am very glad for you about the seeds. Sounds very near to what just happened to me with my BBxNL. I've never got seeds in a grow before, but this time in 6 plants I had 8 seeds, and I'm very happy about it. I was trying to revert a mom of those seeds to veg, and until a couple days ago I had serious doubts about her return. Her sister was not as lucky. http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-growing/139339-plants-won-t-stop-flowering.html

:) Happy day, both you and I. Similar stuff, from forces on high. :)

xcrispi,
Fine job I must say there ol' chap. Very good work. I want to pack my cereal bowl and live in your buds.

[Weedhound]

I read that thread of yours opie. Glad you got some seeds out of the one you wanted as well. That could NOT have happened better imo. :)

Higromite (http://higromite.com/overview.htm). Here is what I use as a medium. I've tried hydroton and just had WAY too many issues with it and hydrotons' light weight aside......it caused MANY more problems than it solved.

The only real issue I have with the higromite is its weight.....it weighs like a bucketful of....ROCKS; go figure. Other than that I've found it to be a great medium and the BUTTLOAD of silica in it really seems to help my plants stay healthier and not suffer as many problems with fert build-up as I seemed to deal with when using hydroton either.

While the higromite IS reusable it's just as hard to pick out from that mess of roots as hydroton would be so I end up using new each time these days.

Btw....both higromite and hydroton are my hydro store owner's top choices for mediums used for a waterfarm.

Edit: One other thing I have to say is a disadvantage to using higromite....algae LOVES it and will grow like mad ion it ANYWHERE it can. That was the only other thing I liked about hydroton..(besides how light it was) was that algae really didn't grow well on it at all. :thumbsup:

[JackHerer]

Too late Opie I've already sold the house and built a tree house in Xcrispi's buds.

You do give a noob a target to aim for with those DWC systems. Is there one around that would fit conveniently in a 1.2m x 1.2m floorspace. Had a look on ebay but the only recirc system I saw was for six buckets & I think the cramp would outweigh any advantage of getting each plant into its own bucket.

Xcrispi that pic 3 has some excellent colour in it. What strain is that?

Thanx - Jack - Opie for kind words -n- Karma .
It's all the same stuff "Sour Northernlights x Nevilles Haze" . It came from the Female Seed Co. X-line . Funky colors happening are me trying to fight hps glare via the cameras filter options .

Weedhound - I think we let these go 10 - 11 weeks and prob. coulda gone a week or so more . Your plants are gonna love you for the .3 - .4 swing verses a full point each day .

I often thought about how close my plants were to nute lock out and the stress of being a cool ph 1 day -n- on the verg of nute lock out the next over -n- over -n- over = nasty vicious cycle w/o the system recirculating . :mad:

Jack - About systems = I'd give Image reapers log a look man . He can fit 1 dwc monster in his cab. w/ a 400 hps and it's even a tight fit . Texas Hydro has a nice cheap 5 gal. bucket like the ones I run turn key for like $40.00 .

A cpl. more pics of SNL x Nevilles Haze .
Later Sis.

Damn Crispi, those turned out very nice! I tried time and time again to build a recirc system but space constraints make it impractical. Now I'm doing 2 DWC buckets under a screen and calling it Quasi-SCROG... I can only hope that my lil system turns out buds looking half as good as those monsters. Love the pictures.... *wipes drool from mouth* Keep on Truckin' my friend

[Weedhound]

No where NEAR as gorgeous as X-C's but hey, you can only have one real magic man in the crowd. ;)

They're REALLY starting to get some mass on them. They are also both starting to show a K def so I spent the morning flushing them with plain ph'd water with only fair results. I'm going to have to flush them with Florakleen to really do it thoroughly because the roots are starting to do their usual growing everwhere thing and clogging some holes here and there. :wtf: I'll probably do that on Wed......need to build up my RO water supply first. They really ARE starting to grow great guns and I don't want anything to interrupt that. :)

[Weedhound]

But now they're back....first one is my cotton candy. She's doing VERY well since I've gotten the ph issues under control with a new meter and have the 400w mh running. I topped her a few days ago and she is just starting to get going. :thumbsup:

The second one is the church. This plant has struggled quite a bit....first due to the ph issues which seemed to hit it MUCH harder than the CC and then it also did not do as well under the new light for quite a while. Seemed MUCH more sensitive to the mh light than the cc but I have no idea how much of that was (or is) ph related.....if at all. :confused:

I''ve just started two new seeds......one Dutch Dragon and one Power Plant. I'm still very up in the air about whether I will take the church plant through flowering.....it's had so many problems I don't feel it's a good example of a ganja plant but I may since she's improved quite a bit lately. :cool:

[hydrocannabis]

WOW they all look great through my eyes. so nice job as alwase.

how about "Wow"
just "wow":thumbsup:

Both the Church I did were in soil Sis. none in hydro , mine were / are way uglier than that ? Fussy ? Light feeders ? - Who knows ? Don't feel obligated by any means but I'd be real interested if the plant looks the same as my 2 dirt Church plants in the end . It's suposed to be "SuperSkunk x Swiss Sativa x Northernlights" . It's a pretty plant even when mistreated -> pics .

Those look great, weedhound...I've got a handful of those beans, from the looks of it I'm going to be quite impressed by them :)

Those buds are going to thicken up like crazy, I can't wait to see a week before harvest :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

Hope the weather isn't going to get in the way of your trip Mark. Been hearing about some icy messes your way.

Thanks for the great comments everyone. It's always fun to make improvements in the system and see the benefits.

I must say I AM surprised at how dense and large these buds have the potential to get....quickly. I've had 2 times in the last week that the lighting has been screwed up due to power outages so I'm going to spray with Reverse today. This is the first time I've used it this way (I've already done the first 2 sprays) but have heard good results from folks who use it later so figured I'd give it a try. After the seeds appeared in my Master Kush......despite the fact that that turned out to be a GREAT thing....I'd like to make sure that doesn't happen here. ;)

[the image reaper]

I've smoked lots of Master Kush last few years, a commercial grower friend usually does some ... first time I've seen it, though, :thumbsup: ... was pretty potent, but gave me BAD munchies ... because of the body-stone and munchies, I just assumed it was indica-dominant, but wasn't sure ... :jointsmile:

[Weedhound]

Actually Reaper thats what you get for paying attention. You also have a good eye...you're right that that plant is more sativa than MK usually is....it's actually a sour northern lights x nevilles haze. Your mistake was to assume my thread title was correct......ITS NOT!! :D That's because I suck...AND I need to start a new grow log.....:(

[Weedhound]

Speaking of.....what do you think of the buzz from the MK Reaper? Good, bad, none? I'd love to get folks who've tried it opinions.

Weather's supposed to be fine here, high 50's to 60 or so..Not sure about denver or detroit though...Hopefully it wont be too bad there..flight delays suck ass..they fuck everything up..when it's all on a minute by minute schedule any delay is no good..can't wait to get up there though :)

1,117 miles is a long drive home, fretting trying to find someone with a working printer so I can print off routed maps state by state..

the potency of my friend's Master Kush was pretty good, the best I had available at that time (2-3 years ago, my guess) ... evidently, its a big yielder, I think thats why he chose it, anyway ... I see references to 'MK' all the time, never realized it meant Master Kush :D ... P.S., I can route Markass, if he'd like (retired trucker) ...

Heya WH, gang-

Hope all is well and yer all surviving the holidays :jointsmile:

Weedy- I'm thru most days- I just don't always log in unless I have something to say...

( Board hates TOR- it wants to associate a login w/ an IP address, unless you let it set a cookie, and I don't let anybody set cookies, as anybody can read them- so every time my IP changes, which is a whole lot, I have to log in again, or I have to exit thru a static IP... )

But if I can be helpful, just let me know- seems like you've had this under control :thumbsup:

[zebulon]

Wow WH...the plants look really nice:thumbsup:
I can't wait to see that Power Plant flowering...

[Weedhound]

I'm afraid you have a bit of a wait Zeb....it just popped its skin today. In fact both seeds did and will probably go into the setup tomorrow. :thumbsup:

So I spent Thursday flushing the system with the SNL x NH's I emptied everything out of the res, put in some Florakleen and ran it for 24 hours. Got about 200 ppm back.....starting with about 50. I honestly thought there would be more because the taller plant ESPECIALLY is starting to get some fairly serious k def spots going on. :( The other plant has the problem to a much lesser degree and (so far....) it doesn't seem to be anything to worry about in that plant. And while it may be my imagination but these fert buildup problems seems MUCH more prevelant in the sativa mixes I've grown vs the indica dominant ones and these days I AM being seduced :eek: more and more by the sativa varieties so I would love to solve the issue once and for all. What I need is the perfect medium and I just can't find it.

I'm figuring there is at least three more weeks to go so I'm hoping this flush will hold them until the last week or so.

I also turned the cotton candy and church to 12/12 as well/first Reverse dose. The church has bounced back VERY nicely which I'm attributing to a more stable ph these days and is looking much better. :)

[GixxerRidinToker]

WH- I've been reading both of these logs for about two hours (smoking on some MK that a friend harvested a few weeks ago ironicly) and I have got to say those are some nice plants there brotha Did you get the clone thing worked out? Or am I just that out of the loop and I missed it somewhere?

We all want to see some pics of the new plants too, that Power Plant sounds prettttty tantalizing. Will they be getting their own log?

[MVP]

WH, can you snap a couple of pics of the K def and post them up? I wanna see what it looks like on your plants. I need to learn this aspect of growing much better since it kicked my butt last grow.

[Weedhound]

I'll try and grab a couple photos today MVP....if unable I'll definitely get them up by tomorrow. It's a very interesting pattern on the leaves and having seen it I'm now able to recognize it easily.....especially in it's earlier stages.

Hi Gixxer, thanks for stopping by the log. What ended up happening with my MK plant is that instead of clones she made me some seeds from the strain I wanted to save which was even BETTER for me. Stinky calls it "backing up the genetics onto seed form" and that's pretty much it......little databases of the genetics waiting to pop so I can enjoy the MK again since I REALLY like that strain. :D :thumbsup:

What do you think of the MK Gixxer?

[Weedhound]

Ok...starting with a couple photos of a leaf up close.....front and back. I didn't shrink these MVP so you can look closely at them.
This leaf is from the largest plant which is also more sativa-ish imo. The problem seems to have halted (so far......) after the flushing the other day.

Keep in mind that I actually flushed them twice in the last week so I ended up getting out a total of about 400ppm extra ferts altogether.

[Weedhound]

A couple close pics of the leaves still on the plant. One photo shows a fair amount of affected leaves (second photo) while the first shows a section of the plant barely having any symptoms at all. Think I introduced those backwards...:stoned: The pattern seems to follow where the oscillating fan blows but even not using the fan (due to cooler weather) doesn't actually stop the issue so I'm not quite sure what role the fan plays there although I'm positive it plays a role somewhere.

If you look at the third photo....as a whole the plant seems quite healthy and grows as if it's as happy as a clam.

[Weedhound]

I didn't get a photo of the entire plant but it seems MUCH less affected by everything than the other one. Several sections of this plant show that pattern of leaves.....again on the leaves most often hit by the fan. However, this plant with it's much more indica characteristics generally seems extremely healthy and you have to look fairly close to even find some leaves with the def pattern on them. If you just glance at the plant you really don't notice it at all so it doesn't worry me on this girl as much as the other.

That looks exactly like the early stages of the nute def I experienced before it took over my MKs and the other girls. I know that the CalMag was necessary too (CA def), so I am learning here!

Thanks for the Photo Weedhound! Not growing for 15 years has left me a bit rusty....

[Jay Matix]

I wish I could grow like this. :pimp:

[smokenss]

lookn real nice there weedhound:thumbsup:


:smokin:

[smok3y]

Looking sweet dude:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

Thank you for all the nice comments, Jay, Smokens and Smokey and thanks for stopping by the log. :)

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!! :madnoel: :areindeer: :madnoel:

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to Weedhound and her pack.

[hydrocannabis]

yah she looks real nice.

[zebulon]

Hy Weedhound...
i love your plants, they look really good 'n healthy and awesome buds...:thumbsup:
Will the PowerPlant get her own log???
Merry Christmas to you !!!!

[Weedhound]

Even though it's Christmas Day and I should have more important things to be doing.....but I don't. :D

I JUST DISCOVERED that after flushing my SNL x NH's the ph has stabilized in my system to just about no shift to 0.2in 24 hours I have NEVER had my plants stay that stable this late in flower.....they're growing like monsters!

This next grow (the CC and Church) I will start a new log and am going to flush these puppies regularly and see what....if any....difference regular flushing of the system makes. :thumbsup:

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Weedhound looking very nice there!!!
I am a soil grower though. Maybe someday in the future I will go to the darkside as Stinky puts it.

Again nice work and Merry Chrismas!

[Weedhound]

The darkside ROCKS Jerry. :D

Well since my flushing I can honestly say two things.....the ph has become much more stable and AGAIN the k def seems to have stopped. I assume the key here is *regular* flushing of the system in order to keep things in top shape.

We also had a "planned power outage" yesterday that lasted for several hours while PGE worked on something. Now, may I say that I had a LOT of warning that this was going to happen......and PLENTY of time to get things in order so I have NO real excuse for blowing it and AGAIN having ANOTHER light screw up. BUT I DID. :wtf: I'm just 7 weeks in today so am wondering whether or not to spray some Reverse.....this will be time number four. I'll have to think about it.

[Rock.Steady]

.....this will be time number four. I'll have to think about it.

you crack me up! :S2:

i'll let you in on somethin i did too :wtf:

i left the front door off the veg bunker 10 days ago for 2 days.
shoulda messed up Ping n Pong pretty bad.
i gave 1 spray of reverse when it happened and no worries so far.
I think once you have them reversed, it would be really difficult, even for you, to get hermied.

[the image reaper]

nice stuff, Weedie :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

You know Rock I never even thought about that stuff until my last grow when my MK's popped out a few seeds....(14 good ones to be exact....i already threw one into some water and it cracked ;)) and now all of a sudden I am completely paranoid about it with visions of seeds rolling out of the room in piles....:D i'm used to up to two light screw ups with my normal use of Reverse and usually don't get more light f' ups than that....this grow I've had tons. They're close enough to finish that I don't think it will hurt even if a few nanners do pop up but the noid in me.....:eek:

[Weedhound]

nice stuff, Weedie :thumbsup:

Thanks. :)

[MetalCore]

I see your using white to reflect the light instead of what i see everyone use which is mylar. Any reason why?
I have heard that white reflects back the full color spectrum but i never see people use em.

[Opie Yutts]

WH, everything is of course possible, but remember that hermies are rare, and as we both have learned, a couple nanners here and there can be a very good thing.

[Opie Yutts]

I see your using white to reflect the light instead of what i see everyone use which is mylar. Any reason why?
I have heard that white reflects back the full color spectrum but i never see people use em.

Flat white reflects light more evenly. You definitely get hot spots with mylar.

[braeh420]

holy shit nice buds, I wish my buds were like that.

[Weedhound]

Metal,

Opie is right.....flat white reflects more evenly. In my last grow log on page one if you read you'll see what the results were from the my painting the walls flat white and why.
http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/128511-raising-rhinos.html It actually started when I bought a cooltube and started using it....BIG hot spots etc...

Thanks for the comments folks. I appreciate everyone stopping by. :)

Opie....I know I'm being a noid.....but when you ARE being a noid you never THINK you're being a noid. :D

i just couldnt not do this...

The Noid (voiced by Pons Maar) was an advertising character for Domino's Pizza in the 1980s. He was a villainous red-suited character who attempted to ruin Domino's pizzas but was constantly thwarted.


In 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia, Domino's restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation and a copy of The Widow's Son, Noid surrendered to the police. Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

I can't BELIEVE YOU POSTED MY PHOTO ON THE CANNABIS FORUM!!! :eek: :S2:

The funniest thing I have heard in a long time! Maybe he was the smartest dog alive!

Weedhound, I was just reading your whining thread and was going to whine a little, but it was closed....SO, I thought I would come here and get it off of my chest! :D
Why can't my plants look like yours? Why am I the crappiest weed grower ever? Why do I always get some problem with my plants? Why do my turtles not get along sometimes? Why does my right knee hurt right now? Darn it all!
Okay, just kidding...I thought your whining thread was pretty funny until I read what XCrispi wrote!

Take care girl, I love reading your grow logs. One day I will get a good camera and get involved. I also hope to get picture taking skills like you and Rock.Steady.

Happy New year! May it bring you many BUDS! :stoned:

WH, I didnt know about that whining thread til i saw WWW mention it.

whats even stranger to me, its one of the top rated threads when i get to the site, even tho its only got 3 responses and is locked.

now THATS sum funny chit.

i think u might be lobbying peeps to rate ur threads???
u have a political backround???:wtf:

whats even more insane is my "thais in bondage" thread is rated a "negative" 2, wtf:wtf:, how can that be. i mean dam, ive seen crappier threads. for sure.dam.:wtf:

[Opie Yutts]

This site seems to have taken a direction towards Medical Marijuana and the activism behind it.

What? I had no idea. I don't know about yous all, but I come here to learn how to grow marijuana, share any knowledge I may have in that area, and have some fun friendly conversations along the way. I was thinking a bitch thread might be one of those fun and friendly ones, but what are you going to do?

Well now I'm mulling over the fact that I just got done spending $800 for my conventional monthly medication, and thinking that perhaps I need to look more into that crazy Medical Marijuana people are speaking of. I've heard that you can make your own, and for a lot less than $800 per month. Good Lord that was crazy, trying to get my prescriptions today. They said it would be a half hour, and I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for just under 2 hours. The girl told me that they have being doing almost exactly double the normal amount of prescriptions. Gotta love the holidays. Oops crap, I hope that's not bitching too much.

[Opie Yutts]

quote=Weedywildwoman

Why can't my plants look like yours?
Because she knows how to grow better than you.

Why am I the crappiest weed grower ever?
Because you think you are.

Why do I always get some problem with my plants?
Because you haven't yet figured out how to remedy all your problems, but has anyone?

Why do my turtles not get along sometimes?
Because they need space, and it's hard to get that in the enclosure.

Why does my right knee hurt right now?
Usually knee pain is the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. But it also could be a medical condition such as arthritis, gout or infection.

[GixxerRidinToker]

Isn't this a grow log? I wanna see some buds weedhound!!

[Opie Yutts]

What's wrong with gout and infection?

[Weedhound]

I do happen to like gout and infection but the smell doesn't get accross the computer screen as well as it might.....:D

I KNEW the whining forum was the way to go here. Not just whining but ENDLESS whining about NOTHING....I mean really.....you just can't beat that. Should be very top forum listed imo. ;) Now i have to whine because there's no forum about it instead of using my precision whining for other purposes.

At least W3 no longer has any problems in life thanks to Opie and Rock. :D

W3 let me tell you a little story about my growing.....in soil. This was 2 summers ago and was what led me to hydro growing.

Friend gave me a TON of seeds...bagseed. Build outdoor stealth setup for plants. Buy 50 3 gallon pots. Fill with potting soil and soil around the house (WRONG!!!) Plant 150 seeds....three to a pot (WRONG!!) Wait for 3 weeks. (WRONG!!) See very small plants come up but not very many. Invite friend to troubleshoot. Friend says what I am seeing there are weeds....NO mj sprouts. Dump everything out......seeds planted WAY too deep (about 2 inches down) (WRONG!!) Everything sprouted but couln't find their way to the top because they were too far down.

Repot with fresh soil and dirt from home. Plant 150 seeds in 3 pots.....wait another 3 weeks. Nothing. Turns out I let the seeds (which were old anyway) exposed too much to the air and ruined them.

REPOT 50 3 GALLON POTS WITH FRESH POTTING SOIL ETC..... This time plant 60 seeds in rapid rooters so I can MAKE SURE they sprout. (I had picked up a new oz and it had some blueberry aghani seeds in it). They DO SPROUT!! Plant them all in the (now) 60 pots. (Realize that I started this project at the beginning of May....it's now halfway through JULY!!) :wtf: Transplant them all into the pots. They ALL grow 3 inches high.....and then stop. That's it....3 inches. All of them. EVERY SINGLE ONE!. I check out my friend's grow and hers are 1 foot high....slight difference. Turns out that the SHITTY home dirt I used (WRONG!!) was like clay and didn't allow for proper drainage etc...) ..the roots could not grow through it so when they hit the edge of the rapid rooters they just stopping growing. That's why they were all the exact same size. So transplants 60 little 3 inch plants into new potting soil. (I'm now hitting August....harvest is in middle of October-ish) SO....they finally start to grow somewhat....not too well because now the days have shortened and they've begun to flower. Just when I think I'm safe we have a record two week "heat storm"....temps between 106 to 113 degrees F....without fail for two weeks straight.

That was pretty much the last of it. I had fans going, extra shade misting them during the day......ha ha ha. When all was said and done, (sexed etc...) I ended up with about six half-assed female plants and my total take from the grow was less than 2 oz.

I switched to hydro and on my very first grow I got five females from 8 plants and harvested nine ounces. AND I harvested pretty early too. I'll never go back to soil.

PS....PRETTY GOOD WHINE EH??? :S2:

[JackHerer]

I switched to hydro and on my very first grow I got five females from 8 plants and harvested nine ounces. AND I harvested pretty early too. I'll never go back to soil.

Not to bad about an 8.5 on the whineometer :), but did I not see a thread about you dabbling with the dark side again not so long ago ;).

Pity I missed this whning thread sounds like it was a laugh.

[Weedhound]

Lol, yes I did jack...and do you notice....the voodoo immediately returned. Somewhere in this log I linked my most recent terrifying experience the the dirty side.....and it was just as frightening (and seductive :eek:) as I remembered.....:wtf:

[JackHerer]

LOL WH I'm beginning to understand about that. Giving the old dirty stuff a go myself for this batch of mothers. Had some beautiful looking SIlver Haze & Crimea blue seedlings right up to they got five nodes & I thought I could add a bit of nutes. WRONG :(

They haven't grown at all since just before christmas :( so re potted them today into new potting mix & removed the badly affected leaves, fingers crossed they will come back especially on the CB as Barneys seeds proved to be pretty bad on the germ ratio's.

[Opie Yutts]

Wow WH, just really... wow! That is a heck of a story and some damn precision whining. That was a huge amount of trouble and expense for not even 2 oz yield. Think about how much wage you earn per hour (or could), add up all your hours for that dirt project, and think of the weed you could have just bought for all that. And then compared to your next harvest in hydro, it's enough to drive anyone to hydro and give them a complete and utter hatred of dirt farming. I think I more completely understand your disdain for dirt. I have no doubt that you could grow in dirt with a little guidance and practice, but I'm glad you don't.

[Weedhound]

Opie it was INSANE. My friend was sitting outisde in the middle of this heat storm with a fly swatter because she got this grasshopper HURRICANE come through. She was literally swatting grasshoppers with this fly swatter in 110 degree heat.....all fucking day.

So the next year she says to me...."When are you going to plant your outdoor stuff?" and when I laughed hysterically from a prone position on the floor she then said

"oh come on....it wasn't that bad. :eek: :eek:

[MVP]

A little bit of an insane time is okay now and then, but that seems too damn crazy!

Give her one of these next time *passes 2 cann capsules* and she'll be just fine.....

[Rock.Steady]

got my vote.:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

They seem happy to me. :jointsmile: The one in the first pic is perhaps no more than 1 week from harvest and probably less. The power is out here so right now they are sucking down a good old 100w incadescent and I've found that when I use lower light later in flowering they rush to finish faster (not always a good thing so not something I'm advocating.) ;)

The first two photos are the larger plant and the third is "Shorty" who's got some pretty good little x-mas trees going on herself. I've had no more problems with defs etc so I've now gotten religion for reglular flushes of the system. :thumbsup:

[Shovelhandle]

Beauty plants, WH!

Shvl

[Weedhound]

So the other day before the weather issues started I snipped off a pretty good size (8 gms wet/2gms dry) bud to study and do a subjective bio assay on. :D

It hasn't dried very well due to....again.....weather issues.....but when I went to go pick it up guess what I found there? A seed. :wtf:

At first I thought conspiracy..... the entire scene had a JFK "magic bullet" feel to it with the seed just sitting there all out in the open and pristine looking (nice RIPE seed :eek:) but, alas, it was....indeed....a seed. ;)

This is how I discovered I have (hopefully HAD) a light leak. This plant is in the same spot in my room as the seedy MK. I had actually just added another layer of curtains in my room to make the area darker......not because I thought I had a light leak but because the original curtains are stunningly sucky and take all sorts of paper clips, velcro, doorweights etc to keep closed (and obviously even THOSE didn't work very well) so i JUST added those on about a week ago and they've made things not only darker but much easier to deal with at "closing" time. I guess it will simply remain to be seen if that has fixed the issue or not. The other thought is that there IS a dehumidifier in my space....and two teeny little lights that shine from it....a green one and an orange one. I'll put tape over those as well so to keep out any other bad voodoo and "cover" all my bases. :D

I don't know HOW many seeds are in this plant and I haven't subjectively bio-assayed it yet either but I'm seriously hoping that I love it enough to make use of the seeds that I'm very sure will soon be mine. :stoned:

[Rock.Steady]

maybe i should just stop in and build you a lil room:wtf:

wtf, i cant belive u found another bean:thumbsup:

nutty, just nutty:D

[Opie Yutts]

Wow, nice haul.

You really think the little lights on the humidifier could be causing the seeds? I don't know. Sounds kinda fishy to me. More likely bad curtains perhaps.

Good luck and good job.

[Weedhound]

I'm thinking so too Opie....these lights are super dinky....like a 1/10 of the size of a reset button on your basic surge protector (i DO think a surge protector reset button would be too large for my room but I don't have one in that area anyway....) and I know I've used this dehumid before and not gotten any seeds so I'm pretty sure the problem was in the curtains (especially around where my ducting is) as well. The new layer of curtains I added are 2 layers of black and are much larger and longer so there arent any little spots I have to go back and clip etc. Hoping that makes the difference. :)

[MVP]

Sounds to me like the curtains were the culprit, and you have remedied the situation :thumbsup:

[Rock.Steady]

yeah, she went with longer, darker curtains.
woopie...:wtf:

me..
i woulda been more like...
2x3 studs
temp hardboard
pocket door
spakle, paint,
cut vents and loovers
hook up fan thru new wall.....

but wait,,,,

oh geez, maybe thats what she was talkin about:wtf:

[Weedhound]

12 cfls would be another fine example....:D

[Rock.Steady]

12 cfls would be another fine example....:D

ahh the good ole dayze:wtf:

[Weedhound]

God all those lights crack me up.....I don't have that many sockets in my ENTIRE HOUSE! :D

[Opie Yutts]

They kind of crack me up too. It seems like they should be motorized somehow. It sure likes an efficient placement though.

Has anyone found out what the shape of the light intensity is on the CFLs yet?

[Rock.Steady]

oh, they worked.
they were spaced real good,
that was b4 the HPS.
its hard to tell, but there were 12 at the peak of it all.
those were red spec.

shape????:wtf:
here we go again.:wtf:

[MVP]

It looks like there should be a ferris wheel in there with all of those lights...

[yungjay]

so if you wait _________ weeks, is it possible to yield over a lb off one plant of the master kush?

[Weedhound]

According to the breeder of it I believe the maximum he stated was 500 gms per plant which comes out to very close to 18 oz. Could I MYSELF get a pound off of this plant? I seriously doubt it. (most I've ever gotten off a single plant is 8.5 oz)

Not only do you need the right plant.....you need an excellent setup including plenty of light and space to work with plus proper room conditions and most likely even something like C02 to boost the yield. X-Crispi grew a 19 oz plant but he had five gallon buckets and 2kw worth of lighting. It takes much more than X-weeks and a good yielder to get to the finish line with those kinds of numbers. :D

Now if that isn't the truth, I don't know what is!! I haven't heard better advice in ages!! :thumbsup:

[Markass]

I doubt this was the one, weedhound, but there should be a lot of my macros on here somewhere..I've got way too many to keep track of

[Weedhound]

That's the one Mark...thank you. :) CM....I asked Mark to put this pic up for you so you could get a good idea of trich color etc.....this photo shows both cloudy and some amber trichs very nicely. :thumbsup:

[cmasfca]

Perfect! I saved the image to my computer for reference. I am going to get the microscope in about two hours and after that I am going to flush my res. After everything is settled I will look at the trichs and get a picture or two posted for you guys. Thanks WH!

[Markass]

this is about the only other good looking one I could find of a live plant..between the two you can see amber/cloudy/clear/milky I believe

[cmasfca]

Yes, thank you! All but one or two hairs are still completely white so I believe that WH was right in mentioning that there will be two sets of trichs that appear. In a couple weeks I will start to plan the harvest. Weird! It seems to go by so fast haha

[Weedhound]

That photo is a beauty as well. :thumbsup: X-C was running around the other day posting photos like mad....better ones than he usually has. :D I hear those were your work as well Mark. ;)

[Markass]

yeah I love taking pictures...practice makes perfect..

Still a ton of snow up that way??

[Weedhound]

Nah...it rained in my area and melted everything. The windy crap was the worst of it but we came through MUCH better than others.....a few roof shingles, and the roofing of my pig run came off but that was very easy to put back.....which we did yesterday. :)

well that's good to hear...Global warming is inducing climate change and weird weather occurances...

we had thunderstorms here last night...tons of lightening, continuous thunder rumbling..that was something I'd never heard..especially in january..temps have been warm here..Glad things weren't that bad for you

Living in oklahoma I definitely know how much it can suck when mother nature's pissed off about something..

[Weedhound]

I was worried about you during the ice storms.....I've never seen anything like that so have no idea how bad they can be.....but I've heard they can really do a tremendous amount of damage.

[Markass]

I was worried about you during the ice storms.....I've never seen anything like that so have no idea how bad they can be.....but I've heard they can really do a tremendous amount of damage.

I believe an area in oklahoma city was really where the damage was the worst at...the lines and trees iced over here, but never enough to make them fall and collapse..A couple of years ago though we had a real bad one and power was out for like a week..I guess with the hurricane this year we got a break with the icestorms..so far anyhow..

When that hurricane reformed the county I'm in received the most rainfall and the most damage of anywhere..the weather's weird..nearly becoming unpredictable..

[Weedhound]

I agree and I feel it's the global warming too....as you said. It IS almost unpredictable in the most bizarre ways. I mean there's always been a wierd year here and there but it sure seems that in the last couple years the only thing that's been consistent about the weather is that its CRAZY!

Living in oklahoma I definitely know how much it can suck when mother nature's pissed off about something..

worst rain i ever witnessed was in OK.
picture this
about 5 yrs back, i moved to cali,,,alone,,,van loaded, pulling car trailer loaded....musta been about 20,000+ lbs all total.
nighttime, as i read the sign that said i was "entering the cherokee nation", the sky opened.
couldnt see 20 ft in front.
the entire van and trailer started hydroplaning.:jawdropper:

i stopped at the next possible motel, thanked God and changed my shorts.

scarey???
Yes:wtf:

and CM- a word to the wise.
ABSOLUTELY WAIT!
until the trichs are definately ready.
if not, u can do what i did,,,
smoke a z in less than 2 weeks and kick yourself for the lack of potency and patience.


as for global warming, nah, i aint buyin in on that one.
our planet is a living organism, been here lots longer than we. i'm sure an occassional shifting in weather patterns is how mother earth stays in balance.
yeah, i know 'polar ice caps' blahblahblah.;)
we also didnt have CNN decades ago, and didnt know what was going on in the next state, let alone in the arctic. The info-age has made a once gigantic planet, now fit into an ipod:wtf:

appreciate the info...so is that 8.5 oz like a peak amount or where you able to achieve that more than once, i mean your plants look huge, so i was just wondering the amount you actually harvest off of each one...thanks again

[Weedhound]

Yungjay I can't tell you how glad I am asked that question so that I can post some pics of the biggest yielding plant I have grown.....Crystal Limit and I couldn't tell you the original breeder but I still have a few seeds and keep them safely for future growing.

I generally grow 6 plants at a time and have 2 of each generally about 4 weeks apart in age at any given point so I harvest something every 4-6 weeks. It also gives me more space in the bloom room which uses a 1kw HPS. As a rule I get between five and six oz a plant...so about 10-12 oz a grow. Interestingly when I grew more plants at once (sometimes five females at once...THAT was stupid) I would come out with about 2 1/2 oz per plant....pretty much the same yield at the end. My hydro guy seems to feel that it's a matter of light x space will grow X amount of oz....whether they are all on one plant or many. (with all other grow factors the same) Something to think about and it seems to have worked out that way for me. Two plants is a hell of a lot easier to care for than 5!

PS....I believe that is both crystal limit plants in the first photo....one plant yield six something oz and the other was 8.5. Close up is of the larger yielding plant.

[cmasfca]

/drool

your plants got me all excited :)

[JackHerer]

From the limited experience I have seen WH I would tend to agree on the light & space thing.

On the global warming I have two opinions the first being yes there is global warming & it probably has happened before with a catastrophe in order to balance it out again long before we ever walked the planet. But then I'm with those that believe man has only evolved in atime space that would be a mere pollen cell on the time the planet has existed. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do something about it if we don't want to follow the dinosaurs.

The other one tends to kick in when I'm paying the equiv of $10 a gallon & I here people from very wealthy economies whineing about being expected to contribute moderately to cover there own environmental damage. Then I think well why should I pay for these people in a very wealthy system to be saved. Where I live could do with a bit of warming up & if London etc was flooded it might force the UK government to distribute the governmetn jobs more farily throughout the country. Like wise with the other areas in the world that are reported to be at risk, very wealthy & unprepared to accept their own responsibilities.

[EDIT] Soz LOL if London was floded maybe we could get rid of that bunch of corrupt old school boys once & for all.

I'l say no more on that one though. :jointsmile:

[Markass]

worst rain i ever witnessed was in OK.
picture this
about 5 yrs back, i moved to cali,,,alone,,,van loaded, pulling car trailer loaded....musta been about 20,000+ lbs all total.
nighttime, as i read the sign that said i was "entering the cherokee nation", the sky opened.
couldnt see 20 ft in front.
the entire van and trailer started hydroplaning.:jawdropper:

i stopped at the next possible motel, thanked God and changed my shorts.

scarey???
Yes:wtf:

and CM- a word to the wise.
ABSOLUTELY WAIT!
until the trichs are definately ready.
if not, u can do what i did,,,
smoke a z in less than 2 weeks and kick yourself for the lack of potency and patience.


as for global warming, nah, i aint buyin in on that one.
our planet is a living organism, been here lots longer than we. i'm sure an occassional shifting in weather patterns is how mother earth stays in balance.
yeah, i know 'polar ice caps' blahblahblah.;)
we also didnt have CNN decades ago, and didnt know what was going on in the next state, let alone in the arctic. The info-age has made a once gigantic planet, now fit into an ipod:wtf:

Weather's weird man...And think about what you just said...staying in balance...once the earth was a sea...once the climate gets warmer, the polar ice caps melt, the earth becomes a sea again..then freezes, then will dry out and have something like prehistoric time again..or so I think...it's a repeating cycle, but will not happen until we're all long gone..

[Weedhound]

Well to each his own but I buy it. We humans as a crowd are amazingly destructive....easily much more so than any other creature on earth. And i know the world is huge, has been around long before us etc etc. I just think that we are completely capable of screwing up this planet and making in unlivable especially as the population grows and I think we impact the earth and atmosphere much more than some folks think. We do that by screwing up the balance of things. And I also think people as a rule tend to take on an "it can't happen to me" attitude that completely blinds them to doing things with some foresight, common sense or an eye towards prevention.
Seriously.....folks just can't be bothered.

These are my thoughts but I seriously wish I had Mark's passion (goddamn youth) :D

[MVP]

My :twocents: is that Smith in The Matrix put it succinctly when he said "Humans are a virus...."

[Weedhound]

Ouch....that could be true. i'd have to give it some thought but there DEFINITELY similarities. I WOULD like to think that we give something back to this world but gee....I can't think of what that would be.

And Ps...That's MS Virus to you all. :D

I also believe in Free Will, and that we can choose to do better. Getting the whole world on the same page will be the challenge. Difficult, but not impossible as I am an optimist. Green herbal medicine will be what I will give back to those in pain! ;)

[yungjay]

Yungjay I can't tell you how glad I am asked that question so that I can post some pics of the biggest yielding plant I have grown.....Crystal Limit and I couldn't tell you the original breeder but I still have a few seeds and keep them safely for future growing.

I generally grow 6 plants at a time and have 2 of each generally about 4 weeks apart in age at any given point so I harvest something every 4-6 weeks. It also gives me more space in the bloom room which uses a 1kw HPS. As a rule I get between five and six oz a plant...so about 10-12 oz a grow.

really appreciate the help and info...so in those pics, you harvested those plants in 4-6 weeks and received that type of yield? if so that is awesome i would love to do it that big one day :cool:

[Weedhound]

No, sorry if I confused you. I PLANT something every four to six weeks....like a rotating crop sort of thing. The crystal limit plants I "vegged" for about five weeks under a 1kw mh bulb and then took approximately 9 more weeks to bloom (under 1kw hps) .....so about 14 weeks total for these. :)

PS....plus i topped them twice. ;)

[Weedhound]

MVP....you really ARE an optimist. I don't for one second have enough faith in the world to get them all together on the same page.....unless it were a page of destruction.

I DO however believe in the "individual." How different we all are. The different ways we all look at and approach life. How much we can all bring to each other's table. It's mankiind's only saving grace in my opinion.

The world has an amazing ability to heal itself. It has before and it will again. It may have to cleanse itself of humans to do so, but it will happen.

I'll buy that!

[JackHerer]

I would agree also Opie.

But unfortunately I think some governments see green as a new word they can use to create taxes. Example the proposed road mile pricing which in the UK would mean the rich could drive where they want & the porr should stay in tere ghetto's. Its a topic I would only be willing to pay my part for if everyone else pays theirs & I just don't see why I should subsidise others polluting habits when I live in an area that would be least affected.

[Rock.Steady]

from what i've seen on news reports, this is some kind of 'city use' tax for ppl who drive in the larger inner cities (like london, and nyc) created to try to discourage personal use to reduce traffic. this has been proposed for implementation in NYC with london being the model.
supposedly would reduce congestion as the key goal.

or, at least what u mention sounds like this same report.



wow, look where this thread has gone:wtf:

[JackHerer]

Rock

Yea the london model that gets touted for Manchester & Edinburgh along with many other places. Again its two opinions for those who live there on low income because they were born there it may seem expensive, but the city of London is also full of the countries highest earners & I know quite a few folk earning upwards of £500 - $1,000 a day moaning about a £5 congestion charge.

Another one a friend recently flew to Ireland advetised cost of the flight £6.00 taxes added up to £30 total cost of ticket £36 & now the tories (Aristocriscy rip off merchants) waffle about adding new green taxes to comercial flights on a per person basis. However no real taxes for the super rich flying about in there own jets. Fair taxation or a reservation of polution causing activities for the rich & favoured?

Sorry WH am trying not to go on re politics but you had to open the door. :(

[Weedhound]

Hey don't get me started about the rich (which I don't see as politics but maybe it is)
They're the ones who bitch about the price of a vaccine for their pet; sniff "bill me" on their imperious way out the door (we don't bill and they know that) and climb into their BMW or Hummer. Amazing crowd of folks imo. Really AMAZING. Its the poor folks that are honest and go without lunch a few days to come up with the $20 for the vaccine.....no complaining.....and always pay their bill on time. ;)

[Weedhound]

has begun. :D

Both plants are on FloraKleen and ph'd water. I haven't gotten tons of crud back (and I'm hoping that means the regular flushing accomplished it's job) and the shorter one has more of a ways to go than the taller one but it was easier to start them both at once.

[rhizome]

Hey don't get me started about the rich (which I don't see as politics but maybe it is)



The biggest trick ever pulled in Western politics was convincing people that the struggle was between Right and Left- it's between Rich and Poor.

I recently got involved in an arguement with a person ( whom I respect greatly), who stated that the Magna Carta redistributed power from the Throne to the People- If you read it, it redistributes power from the Throne to the Landed class- strictly an internal matter within the elite. You, me, 99.99% of the population- we got nothing.

" Politics" is how the rich keep us from eating them.

[Weedhound]

I'll buy THAT as well!!

PS....The hubby agrees with the "eating them" statement. :D

[JackHerer]

Best case for cannabalism I have ever heard anyway :). Land & wealth reform along with independence are topics I often end up banging on about. I find it not hard to tell when a politician is lying though because there mouth is moving.


N E way ggod to hear your on the flushing WH. I still haven't found a supplier over here for Florakleen & couldn't even see it in Amsterdam for sale. I found the UK distributor but no real retailers, I'll keep looking though.

[Opie Yutts]

Let them eat cake, and have it too.

I highly doubt an inter city tax will keep people out of the city. People are still going to do the things they gotta do. It's just another way to squeeze a few more pennies out of us poor folk. The gasoline doubled in price, yet you still see about the same amount of cars on the road.

WH, how long do you usually flush for, and I forgot if you do it at regular intervals throughout the grow? And do you know if Florakleen is about the same thing as Botanicare's Clearex, which is 3% Glucose and 1 1/2% Sucrose? And if so, why aren't we making this $25 per gallon sugar water ourselves?

[Weedhound]

Gonna go check on THAT puppy right this momento!! I generally go buy Zandor's flushing thing....I'll find the link to the post cause he explained it beautifully.

be back......;)

[Weedhound]

People ARE going to do what they have to do I agree. I just looked up the MDSS sheet for Flora Kleen....and guess what. The ingredients are a TRADE SECRET!! WE SHALL NEVER KNOW if it's sugar water or not.

[Weedhound]

http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs/103225-here-simple-proper-way-flush-your-plants-hydroponics-system.html

I learned this exact same way to flush from my hydro guy and the few times I've skipped it I've seen a difference....not in potency but in taste (no biggie) but also the way it burns (a biggie!) If the plants have to go longer than a few days then I just keep them on ph'd water until they are done. Tomorrow will be starting day 63. :)

Opie this grow I have been flushing them pretty much once a month but all I was doing was pouring ph'd water through the buckets.....kind of like a rinse or something. (not using any florakleen) I was getting an extra 200 ppms of crud rinsed out of the medium easily by doing that and seeing several differences I appreciated whiich were lack of defs and issues caused by the fert buildup and a much more stable ph throughout flowering. I DID flush them thoroughly a few weeks ago....that time pouring water through didn't cut it so I had to go with 24 hours of Flora Kleen. Turned out to be well worth the extra work. ;)

[Weedhound]

Is it my imagination or all the photos gone? We harvested today and I was going to post a pic but won't until I'm sure the pics aren't being swallowed by the "upgrading and maintenance" that constantly seems to be occuring. :wtf:

There was so much we had to put a second row to hang things from.....a first for one plant. There are two colas that look to be about 1 oz apiece and TONS more. There are also SEEDS....so far have found ten during the trimming but I have a feeling there are MANY more hiding out in there. Lucky for us though.....two things.

1. This is easily a record harvest for me. I'm going to guess at about ten ounces but AM just guessing. And the seeds will make the harvest weigh more although I suppose it depends on how many seeds are there but either way some of that weight will be seeds.

2. I've become a huge fan of this strain so am quite happy to get more female seeds. This stuff is DEFINITELY a keeper. :thumbsup:

[Rock.Steady]

ur not hallucinating, the attachment pix seem to have evaporated:wtf:

Congrats on the record!!!:thumbsup:

[Opie Yutts]

I couldn't help noticing that on page 15 Rock got to keep his attachment, but WH didn't. I wonder if my pictures are gone from my grow as well. WH, thank you for the flushing info, and congratulations on your record grow.

[JackHerer]

Great news on the harvest & yes the pics seem to have gone. Won't try a longer reply as the last one crashed.

[Opie Yutts]

WH, you got to keep your posts, and I got to keep my pictures. I'm not sure which is worse. I just looked in on my grow report, and the entire last page is gone. I put a lot of time into that page. It had several posts of mine that were about a normal page worth. Answering questions and spewing out info. What the hell. Gotta love the 3 day long critical maintenance, or whatever.

[Weedhound]

Lovely. If they improve things any more I may very well cry. Well I do have some photos but don't dare put them up until I figure out WTF is going on around here.

[zebulon]

The Image Gallery is dead....maybe that's why the pix are gone...this maintenance sux real bad....

[Weedhound]

Not even sure what to say....:(

[JackHerer]

Well just hope they backed up the image directory & the database then everything might come back together. I can hazard a guess as to the upgrade since the most likely candidate has just gone to major release 3. I have read the upgrade info so depends on the old 7 P's.

A major pity for me at the moment kinda have some issues:( with this soil stuff:wtf: & posted the pics before the "upgrade" however I then delete everything after uploading. If it all gets stable again like you are considerig WH I'll worry about it then. For now that link you gave me on the sick plant guide is getting a workout.

[Weedhound]

Sorry to everyone who lost pics.....some of the cooking stuff is gone....jeez....can only say how bad I feel for everyone. Damn this really sucks......I have all my photos backed up (and am about to go do a NEW backup thank you....)

[MVP]

Oh hell, Cooking was a favorite section of mine. I'm gonna have to check it out and survey the damage. I have all my pics saved here, but not all of my posts...

[Opie Yutts]

This just in: I've learned we transfered to a different server and some stuff may have got lost accidentally or on purpose.

That nice cooking guide by Flameon, pictures all gone. This screws over some people more than other. I hope the pics can come back somehow, but not holding my breath. Some of mine are gone and I got to keep some. No pattern or rhyme or reason that I can see.

Yeah, I still have my pics I posted to Flame's Cann Capsule thread that are gone, along with the pics from my Beginners Brownies thread that lost 'em all too. My Domina thread kept the pics and almost all others of mine got nuked...

Alright just went through a long post about it being a good idea to maybe know some of each others alternate forum hang outs before the pages crashed again. Basics is during the outage recognised one of our esteemed regulars posting on another site thought it might be a good idea to know each others alternates. for now mine are uk420.com & Treating Yourself (http://www.treatingyourself.com/)

See if this message makes it.

[xxxhazexxx]

hello weedhound how are you mate,nice grow mate

[JackHerer]

Edit:

Must be blind as haven't seen seen you round the grow area for a while Haze. Are you still growing?

[Weedhound]

Me either....good to see you xhaze. How's your growings coming along?

[Weedhound]

Lots of it off this plant. It's shrinking alot as it drys....has lost a fair amount of size in the last 24 hours and the other thing they aren't shy about is the seeds....there are MANY!

I'm just afraid to guess the yield ......so won't. ;)

[Weedhound]

Not very much amber on the first plant...maybe 10% so this one we're going to let go longer (maybe 25%-ish) and see what difference it makes.

[xxxhazexxx]

hello dudes sorry i hav'nt been about my pc has been broke just got it fixed so im back now,im growing lemon stinky and fat russian i will do a grow log soon looking really nnice weedhound:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[pudder]

so how much did you end up with there WH?

[Markass]

looks like another good yield :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

thanks you guys.....haven't counted yet and can't until they are dry. ;)

[yiGity]

budz are loookin tasty:thumbsup:

[Opie Yutts]

Nice budz.

As me dear departed grandpappy used to say, "What's wrong with that?"

[Weedhound]

I might be able to take Grandpa in a fair fight.....especially if he's desceased :D

So we harvested the second plant today.....took a look at a few spots on it and there's about 30% amber.....more than I thought so we took it down and buzzed it. My other drying stuff has shrunk alot.....A LOT.....and now looks about 1/2 the size it did.....my cotton candy plant did the same thing if I remember correctly. I had visions of pounds but it was really just fluffy buds. :wtf:

The second plant was very short and dense and left us with a good amount of trim unlike the first one and about 1/2 the size with double sized buds.. Really funny how differrently they turned out. I have not found any seeds in this one so far....but I'm betting they are there.

In keeping....I have placed two new seeds in rapid rooters and begun germinating. They are a White Widow and a White Berry.....i'm going white for winter. :D

[xcrispi]

Sweet Sis .
I'll have gotten a sneak preview of all 6 fem. strains before I actually grow em out .
Dutch Dragon , P.P.P , Whiteberry , White Widow , White Rhino , and Master Kush .
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Crispi :jointsmile:

[JackHerer]

It looks like a nice volume so far even if it proves to be lighter than expected in weight from fluffly buds.

Time for another well done spliff. :greenthumb::greenthumb:

[Weedhound]

That's mighty WHITE of you X-C! :D

Thanks Jack....I'll expect a smoke report. ;) I'll try to get a pic later today. :)

[Rock.Steady]

what an amazing job!:greenthumb:

cant wait to see what the final tally is once dried.:yippee:

i still cant REP ya!

in the words of the fog "Rep Mang"
whatever happened to that dude?

[Weedhound]

I was wondering about him as well and a few others that haven't been around for awhile. I was thinking about Skink the other day.....

[ilovebongs]

looking forwards to seeing how much u got dried, well done.

[Weedhound]

Thanks very much ilove bongs. Here is the final tally:

258 dried grams. 9oz, 6 gms. A DEFINITE record!!!! I'm a touch surprised because of the "shrinking" factor but I've double checked weights and its for sure. :thumbsup:

Has one large bud that weighed out at 31 gms.....over one ounce.....by itself. :eek:

[stinkyattic]

Fog left I believe for security reasons following a breakup that may or may not have included a custody battle. There were indeed children involved and he's got his priorities straight. Skink left when his modship came to an end.

Nice looking plants there Hound. You thinking about what to do with the trim yet?

[Weedhound]

Well......my hubby has psoriasis and his doctor gave him a recipe to make a cannabis tincture she swears will help....you add to something to make a cream so we're going to give it a try. Have you made tinctures Stinky? The recipe talks about bacardi 151 (or something along the line) in a jar with the leaves that you shake daily and keep in a dark place for at least a month. Are you familiar with it at all?

[stinkyattic]

I made the Green Dragon with Bacardi 151 and some actual bud, rather than leaves- sugar-leaf trim that you've allowed to dry out a bit is a perfectly acceptable substitute. Fewer fans, less chlorophyll.
I also added some garden mint to my tincture to make it more palatable. Kinda one lime short of a Mojito... then it smells minty, like commercial liniments.

For skin use though...hm.
Remember that alcohol will dry out the skin so I would consider doing another step... make it in isopropanol rather than ethanol since you can get a higher concentration, evap down to get most but not all of the alcohol off, and then make an emulsion in the blender using olive oil. I don't know the first thing about the process for making home-made moisturizers but I'm sure there's info on the internet about it; just incorporate your THC as if you are doing a cannabutter food recipe. An anti-inflammatory strain like anything descended from the 'ortega' cut should be most effective. I think I'm going to go poke around since this dry winter air is making my face break out in a dry red cracked bumpy MESS and I've got some trim of my own to use up.

[Weedhound]

Damn.....she just has that stuff rolling around in her brain somewhere.....like the chicken info. I love that.

Thanks....we'll go with iso alcohol instead. ;) Ortega.....have to look around because I've never heard of that.

[zebulon]

Congrats. to you WeedHound....258 dried grams and 10,000 views...:eek:...Nice Work:thumbsup:

[Opie Yutts]

Weedhound that is awesome. Good growing girl!

I've made tinctures with alcohol a few times, but did not use the best parts of the plant. Some worked OK, but nothing like if I'd had used nice bud. Just a heads up for you. I used Everclear, and another time 151 rum, and I forget what else. The higher proof the better. I filled a jar with leaves and just a little trim, crammed it full as I could get it without chopping it up in an herb grinder or something. Let it sit in alcohol in a cool dark place for anywhere from 2 days to 2 months, the longer the better is my understanding. Filter it a couple times, let it almost evaporate, and there you go. I got a little buzzed, but as with cooking, I'm waiting until I get a bunch of buds before I start experimenting with the good stuff. Please by all means let us know about your experiences with it.

[rhizome]

Ortega.....have to look around because I've never heard of that.


Brood mom for the Spice of Life stuff- big favorite around these parts. Super dominant, you can hit it w/ anything and it grows out like 'Tega.

Absolutely paralyzing- not for breakfast.

[Weedhound]

Thanks Opie. :) My "testers" report a positive bio assay .....more of a up, creative type high than a body stone. The big test will be when I make some cookies for the hubby to sleep with. I haven't bio-assayed the second plant yet so can't say if it's more, less, or just different in the buzz.

[Weedhound]

What about as a skin thing rhizome.....think it would still knock one on ones' ass? :D

[kindprincess]

very nice thread girly ;)

[rhizome]

What about as a skin thing rhizome.....think it would still knock one on ones' ass? :D

Hmm... as described, prob not... tho if ya decarboxylated and suspended in DMSO....

[Weedhound]

Hey Kp....good to see you out and about. How's your growing going?

rhizome, my very first thougt....I haven't heard of the DMSO strain....is it indica or sativa? I think I have some of that....among my horse linaments (sp?) (will have to think up something that will make hiim think its a cool thing to do....he's kind of easily swayed......"Honey. You won't believe this! We may have ALREADY WON 10,000,000 DOLLARS!!!!")

[Opie Yutts]

cruel

[Weedhound]

lol, it's pretty hard to dampen such enthusiasm......and I try.....constantly......:D

[Weedhound]

So Shorty weighed out heavy....I'm very surprised as I was expecting about 4 oz from her.....came up to 180 gms.....6oz, 11gms. So far I've only found one seed from the second plant. It REALLY makes me wonder about the differences between the sativa and indica phenotypes....

I'll post a pic of the MANY jars we have them in curing later today. :)

[Rock.Steady]

UNREAL:thumbsup:

[MVP]

I love pictures of full curing jars. Bring 'em on Weedhound! Need a smoke report soon too!

[Weedhound]

So two of the ounces off the first plant have gone to good homes...of very good friends and testers ;) and 20gms have been donated to some cookies so this is what is left from both plants.

We came VERY close to a pound this grow. I'm thinking that's due to a very good yielding strain and an extra week of good veg time. :thumbsup: I had been going with 4 weeks veg but with this I went through five weeks....and am planning to make that my norm. :jointsmile:

[Weedhound]

Anyone who can steer me towards more of those gallon sized glass jars PLEASE DO. The quart jars are an extreme pain to open and close every single day during curing. :wtf:

[MVP]

I think the 5 weeks of veg made a big difference. While CC went up and down last week/end I scoured a few of boards - ICMag, gardenscure - and those growing monsters ended up with 5-6 weeks of veg.

BTW, I get my half gallon jars at Ace Hardware down the street (6 for 10 bucks I think), or they are on your favorite place too... Amazon.com: Ball 68100 half gallon wide mouth mason jars.: Home & Garden (http://www.amazon.com/68100-gallon-mouth-mason-jars/dp/B000SMYZ1U/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1200778269&sr=8-1) These are the biggest ones in a PRACTICAL size IMHO (meaning I think bigger are not wide mouths).

[Opie Yutts]

Nice looking cure.

For the gallon jars go to Costco or some other place where you can only by mass quantities. Get a gallon of mayo, a gallon of pickles, etc.

[Opie Yutts]

It must be nice when your worst problem is you can't find enough gallon containers for all your weed.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. :)

yungjay there were actually 2 plants....one yielded the 9+ oz and the other 6+ so I'm very pleased with that. I agree with MVP that the extra veg time (and upgrading to 400w) was the key there. ;)

Well on to the C log....

What is a good light cycle? :pimp:

I have a femenized Skunk growing. She's 2 feet tall, healthy. I've been running a 250W Metal Halide lamp for 12/12 hours (or as close as I can get), and during the off hours, I run 2 24W HPS.

I just started the HPS florescents. I'm not sure when I should go to, or stick with a 12/12.

Lastly, when should I see flowering?


:thumbsup:......Last night I was using my stud finder.. It kept pointing to me, go figure.

[cmasfca]

So there is 24 hours of light? Or is there 12? If there was 12, and now 24, your plants are being stressted right now and that's not a good thing as far as I know. 18/6 is good for veg and 12/12 is mandatory for flowering. Well, at least 12 hours of darkness.

WH,

I have been sitting in front of my girls imagining how many ziplock bags would it take to hold all of them :jointsmile:

I am excited to start seeing more amber and cloudy this upcoming week :D

I can only hope to reproduce something half as good as you do :thumsup:

[Weedhound]

They REALLY do look good cm.....great job and not just for a first grow either.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what the light question was either..... :confused:

[Rock.Steady]

I am baffled, yet agreeable, i also have been at the bar for the past 5 hrs:upsidedow

omggggggg U get MAJOR propz then u did ur thang even more then I thought originally lol...nice one for real, 9 off one plant is meannnnnn, can you tell me the actual from seed to harvest time on that particular one, like total time?

[Weedhound]

Well I've only recently become smart enough to start writing things down on a calendar (the only thing I used to write down was the first day of bloom) so then best I can tell you with those is that from seed I vegged them five weeks, then nine to nine and 1/2 weeks flowering time.

[abdul1a]

Thanks for the help.

I will do 12/12 and see how I go from there.

Take care

Yes Hi All,


Yes Mr Hound has sampled the Mrs fine grow.

I would describe this as very close to the couch lock phenomina!

Very tasty and puts everything into an even mood.

Was very good for my insomnia. First a few tokes through supper to move in the right direction. Then loading up with a cookie for a more nutricious (Har) time release effect. Then a few more tokes.

All this followed by some good relaxation some laughs and then off to sleep. Yup worked great here.



Yours Always - The Pup
