Hello from L.A. Old hippie returning to the fold.

[AirBear]

Hello,

Been lurking around here soaking up knowledge for a bit and finally decided to introduce myself. The last time I grew was 25 years ago, in the back yard. Bag seed into a part of a used vegetable garden. Just hose water. After pinching several times to help bushing, I still had 3 14 footers.

Starting out again (with doctor's blessing) in the closet. 4" x 2.5" x 7". Soil, RO Water, Fox Farm Nuts, Vegging with 27500 Lumens CFLs. Currently flowering with 250 HPS and 3-4 foot fluorescent double fixtures, set vertical in the corners, each with a warm light tube and cool light tube. Have 1 THC Bomb and 1 Hindu Kush just finishing their 3rd week of flower. 1 White Widow, starting flower. The original crop included 2 Big Bud and another Hindu Kush which were guys.

This is a whole new world for me. The wealth and depth of knowledge here is incredible. Learning more every day. Looking at my first harvest around Thanksgiving. The photos were taken today except for the last one which is exactly one month ago.

welcome back hippie

make yourself comfy

very good veggie growers here to steer you along but looks like youve done well buddy

I wish mine would grow faster and faster and faster and get buds


take care

[AirBear]

Thanks!

Been reading alot. Must be doing something right. Here is the THC Bomb at the end of 3 weeks flowering.

The Hindu Kush is just now beginning to bud after 3 weeks. Much slower strain. Looks like 1 plant in end of November and the other around the New Year. Both plants vegged almost 2 months from seedling. THC bomb is 1 week younger than the Kush too.

I'm patient and learning.

AirBear.

Howdy! Pretty crop!

Your tall skinny plants look exactly like a few master kush plants Im finally smoking after lots of dry/cure time.

Mine got 6 foot 4 inches, I flowered it after 1 1/2 months from seed and they were only 2 feet tall when I started flower. 5-6 oz super chrons each

Id clone a good amount off the tops so it doesnt fill up your spot before its done, and youll have nice rooted and vegged clones by the time you replace with the finished ones

[AirBear]

Thanks for all your great responses! It's beginning to feel like I have found a home here.

BTW, IrieDread, I have taken some clones from the "Tall Skinny" plant. That is the THC Bomb, which is a new strain from amsterdam.nl. Can't seem to find any info on it anywhere from anyone else who has grown it. I just let it go to see what I could learn.

It has fat indica leaves. Unlike other strains there is no branching out or filling in. the narrow circumference of it's leaves and branches is the same as it was before the stretching. This is supposed to be a new production plant and looks like it is designed to get the most out of small footprint. The more plants in a small space the merrier. There is bud at every node. Last count was 26.

looks good-sent you some rep- always good to hear from another old hippie-I was around and smoking in the 60's

Howdy, AirBear
Ditto above. Another old grower/stoner. 40 years ago I used to use some of the same nutes as I use now. Neptune or Mermaid Kelp/Fish emusions. Nice, stinky, organic nutrients.
