my new grow 07/08

[shakur]

here are some pics from my plants, here they have 3 weeks from seed.
from 1 to 5:
1-hash plant
2-liamba from angola(africa)
3-skunk
4-mexican sativa
5-mexican sativa

i already make one transplant to them all to large pots and plan to do one more, i use light soil without ferts. i just go start with ferts half strenght in week 4 or 5, i use fert with N-P-K 12-12-17 and with all micro nutrients. i have more updated pics i post next time.
and next month i go start with some new great genetics i brought from amsterdam. if you want ask something, just do it. i answer every question.

[shakur]

here some uptdate, now they have 1 month old from seed and i been thinking on make a transplant to bigger pots, here the last pics, i like to hear what you think!

[shakur]

here are the ladys( i hope them all turn female) from up, they have about 40-50 cm tall, what you people think?
i want to top them all, what is the best time?

[klondike_bar]

they look good, how old are they, cuz they may be stretched a bit at 40-50cm (1.5ft aprx.)

[shakur]

thanks, they are 1 month old and almost 1 week. maybe they stretch a bit, you can pass by here and see my grow log to the end(harvest), soon i put 2 great strains in my grow log, right now i cant decide i just now they gonna be one indica and one sativa/indica. updating soon.:rastasmoke:

[klondike_bar]

hm, should be perfect to flower now! what kind of lighting? your gonna need 12-16cfls or a 400w hps for all 5

[Chronisseur]

I would say the best time to top is between the 7-10th node IMO, depending on strain and headspace.

[Chronisseur]

Klondike; how bout you just DONT POST?

You probably dont wanna flower those yet. I'd pinch the tops, and let em veg out for about 2 more weeks. That is, if you want to crop more than the Klondike on his best run,...of powerplant,...in hydro,....with all the lights in the world and the best nutes money could buy;)......lol......


Seriously dude, do you TRY to fuck up peeps grows? :wtf:If so, can I ask why? It's really quite frusterating to see you still havent got a clue. KNOW YOUR ROLE!....(maybe I should've left that one for FBR!) Just please quit openly displaying your ignorance, and I'm sure this site would a better place for all of us.

[klondike_bar]

it appears to be a 5 week-old, good hieght plant, so i see no reason not to flower anytime from now in. i dont think he HAS to, but its something id be preparing for if they were mine. (interpret what you want, my current crop is suffering nute problems and insufficient light in veg caused small plants)

[Chronisseur]

(interpret what you want, my current crop is suffering nute problems and insufficient light in veg caused small plants)

My interpretation:
First of all, nutes dont have problems. GROWERS have problems nourishing. Second; insuffiect light does not cause small plants. (unless autoflowering strain involved)

[klondike_bar]

true, but low-quality solid nutrients are garbage.....never again for me.
second, insufficient lighting causes plants to stretch a lot (plus my preflowers came at 3 weeks veg, so i panicked and began flowering-yes it was stupid, but my other plant had never preflowered by almost 2 mos and 3ft of veg, so i figured they were flowering at the wrong lighting)

either way, we are way off topic, and i have my own threads on the overnuting where you can bash me if you feel inclined

[stinkyattic]

Welcome back, ceasarhorta... I knew that terra-cotta tile patio looked familiar. It's quite tasteful by the way.

The plants look SO much healthier this go-round. Good work. You DEFINITELY need to get them into larger pots.

They don't look quite ready to flower. It's a hard camera angle but I can't see evidence of sexual maturity.

If you pinch them you have to wait 2 weeks minimum before flowering.

Anyway, RE-POT!!! They are getting big!

Dude, man guy.....NOBODY WANTS TO BASH YOU!
We just dont wanna have to fix peoples grows after you lead them astray with shitty advice that you know nothing about. It's OK that you are not an expert, but dont try to sound like one, that's all. You are only doing a disservice by giving such advice.

[twitch]

aside from the chatter lol..

shakur ur grow looks good i cant wait to see the end results
take pics of the side angles
also what lights you using

[shakur]

I would say the best time to top is between the 7-10th node IMO, depending on strain and headspace.

thanks Chronisseur, its what i thinking, this should be almost the perfect time to top them.because they have 8 to 9th node and they start all to show pre-flowers.
p.s. but first i have to re-pot all, and then top the plants.

thanks stinky for your words, i go re-pot the plants to bigger pots and then top the babies and give 2 more weeks in veg, before start to force flower.thanks again for the tip. next time i take some zoom in pics. and i agree with you stinky about sexual maturity.

[shakur]

when i say pre-flowers, i want to say growing tips in the internodes.

[shakur]

aside from the chatter lol..

thanks twitch, next time i take some pics from side angles.
right now i use CFL for the seedling stage and for the vegetative stage then i put the plants outdoor to flower under the natural sun.

[shakur]

like i promise here are the pics of side angle, today i go re-pot the bigger ones, almost all the plants show growing shoots in the nodes, and they start to smell in vegetative stage.
i go to make a re-pot in the end of the day for the ladys have all night to recover from the shock of transplant.
I forgot to say they are in 18/6 light schedule.
P.S. i like to know what you people of the cannabis.com think about my new grow.

[shakur]

i just finish the re-pot of 3 girls and i be suprise with very much roots, and i damage 1 fan leaf of the liamba(Africa), this transplants just turn to be a little hard not to damage the roots ball but the roots are very healthy and with very good white colored. Tomorow i post some pics of the girls i transplant, right now i dont want to disturbe the plants recovery from the shock, they are in the dark room. next thing to do is top the girls, just give them 2 days to fully recover and new roots start to grow. keep looking for updating soon.

[shakur]

UPDATING. here they are after the re-pot. it looks they react very well, is the first 3 pics from left to right: liamba(Africa),hash plant and the skunk( not pure) i put some mexican sativa genetics in this skunk( i cross one mexican sativa female with one skunk nº1 male, she gift me with more than 100 very healthy seeds.now i cant wait to see and smoke the end result from this one).
the last 2 pics is the mexican sativa(Sensi Seeds) F2 generation seeds made by "me". again i cross one mexican male(F1 generation) with one mexican female(F1 generation) and give me more healthy seeds.
the last 2 plants i have to re-pot today or very soon. the first 3 plants i go top them maybe tomorow.
i love to know what you people think about my grow.:rastasmoke:

[stinkyattic]

They look REALLY healthy. You need more light if you want them to stay shorter and not as lanky.

[Chronisseur]

Lookin' good bro!

What I would do next time around, is bring those CFLs closer to the plant, as to reduce stretch. OR, like I did yesterday; pickup a few shoplights. I like them ALOT, mainly for the lack of heat. I've got 4 t-12 fixtures with 2 40watt cool white bulbs in each. The numbers just seem to workout PERFECTLY; 6 sq. feet is covered by 320 watts (25,600 lumens), giving me OVER 4,000 lumens per square foot, and I get to use em ALL, thanx to the low bulb temps! Another thing I like, is the clear bulb covers. I've been misting my veg. twice a day and I like to keep the moisture off of the bulb. It also makes it possible for the plant to TOUCH the bulb (casing) without any stress or burn.

So it sounds like you've got the topping down to a science, nice! All of that secondary growth will reach for the sky as soon as you pinch the top.

One other thing you want to do is drill a couple of extra holes on the sides of your pots, about 5-6 inches from the bottom.

Keep up the good work man:thumbsup:

[shakur]

thank you stinky, yes i have to buy a couple more of CFLs and keep the next plants close as possible from the bulbs. the next month when i come back from dam marijuana disneyland with my new great strains(i decide to buy the white widow,papaya and hindu kush, i aceppt sugestions), now with my actual grow is more to see how the plants grow and they strecht a bit, but i go top the plants in the 10th node and see how the secondary growth grow and the stem and branches also get thicker, i think.

thanks chron, yes i go pinch the tops tomorow and see how the secondary growth "explode".
yes i have to drill a couple extra holes for sure, thanks for the tips,and good luck for your grows chronisseur. soon i post pics from the plants with the tops cut off.

[Earthy Dank]

Dude what kind of soil is that? it seems kinda muddy and doesn't look to have any perlite. Get some better soil and add a cup of perlite per gallon and you will se amazing growth. The roots can't breath in compacted soil... thats why hydro is so good the roots can breathe...

thanks for the tip, but i go put this plants in soil outdoors i just find the perfect spot. this soil is organic dark soil with some fibers and horse manure, and is very lightly.
p.s. the soil is not muddy is just dark.

[dylan]

looks good shakur! keep it up.

[shakur]

looks good shakur! keep it up.

thanks dylan. soon i put some update. already topping the plants, soon i post some pics. keep your eyes on my grow.

[shakur]

hello people, after returning from my trip and with new genetics for my grows i found my girls a little funny maybe is the lack of light from the last 10 days(i left the plants inside the house with only few light from the outside. i love to know what you think.
here are some pics of the girls, i top them and left one untopped. topped 10 days ago. they have now almost 2 months from seed.
p.s. in the last days its raining and cloudy. no sun at all.

[shakur]

more pics from secondary growths, any advice is welcome.

[shakur]

here are update after a while. i have some problems with the plants but here they are. id like to wear you´re opinion. thanks.
the plants are in week 2 fowering one of them i make she re-veg.
i put the baby under the lights for 18/6 ligth schedule.

[stinkyattic]

If you want to re-veg I suggest instead to use 24/0 light schedule.
Also, your plants are ready for a new larger pot now.
They look healthy!

[shakur]

here are some update.here they are in almost week 5 of flowering. i already start new grow, i post pic's later from the new plants. i want to see more good results from this ones. with this current grow i don't have to complain, the weather is cold and very poor sun.

[dylan]

Well the buds look small, but they look healthy and you should have some good smoke from them!

Peace

[shakur]

Peace

thank's dylan, i think the same. they look small but i now they give me good smoke. i can't complain they come in winter time. i already start new grow. update soon.

[shakur]

here are my new plants. they have 20 days old from seed. the seeds are from a friend that live in amsterdam, is indica's and sativa's seeds, very good genetics. i don't no the name from the strains. i just now they are very strong weed, i smoke all this kind's this past christmas and bring this seed's with me that my friend offer me. is one indica/sativa(first pic) that already smell very good odor(strong odor). i use CFL's in the first 15 days of life, then i put them outdoor, is spring here, the days are very hot already. i already start to fert the girls with 1/2 strengh. i keep posting updates. i like to wear what you people think? thank's all. i have one pack from original haze*skunk nº1 from high quality seeds that already put 5 seeds to germinate. anyone know this strain? the dude in the high quality seed's store tell me that they are very strong weed and very good to outdoor's.:rastasmoke:
p.s. the other's plants i cut down 2 and left 3 to cut later, i post pic's later.

[stinkyattic]

The plants shown in late flower look very rootbound. Did you ever get around to re-potting them? Not enough space for the roots makes yield MUCH smaller.

The new ones look very healthy. Make sure you always give them big enough homes to live in! :D

[shakur]

thank's stinky, the other's plants i din't make the re-pot because i don't have the pots at the time and then i look they are start to madurate and i think is late to re-pot. for the new plants i have big pots for them. i start with one small, then make a transplant for a bigger one,next to is final home(big pot) is this good? thank's again stinkyattic.

[dylan]

The new plants look nice and healthy. Is there any way you can plant them into the ground? If so they will get quite large, and produce alot more.

All in all, you have been doing a good job! I can't wait to see these ones get big.

[hydrocannabis]

dammmmmmmm. thouse look beautiful as hell.

great job.

[GreenLeaf420]

They look really healthy.:thumbsup:

Do you think they should be more bushy due to all the VEG time?


You seem to have a nice little rotating schedule there with lots of variaties:thumbsup:.

What is your male to Fem ratio everything I've seen I think has been FEM?

What are you hitting them with nutes? I seen Micro But what is your schedule.

I've had bad luck with the whole Ratio 60/40 my ass that is for me N-E Way I went 2 out of 6 Oh well chop a bunch of clones tomorrow.

Well all looks well on your Keep up the good work...

GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:

[shakur]

dammmmmmmm. thouse look beautiful as hell.

great job.

thank's hydrocannabis :jointsmile:

[shakur]

thank you greanleaf :thumbsup:
yes maybe a little more bushy, this year i have luck they all came females :) the ratio is 80/20-female/male.
the nuts is with guano, and all the macro/micro nutrients. NPK is 12-12-17 is good for the flowering time. I hit them every 15 days with nutes.
:jointsmile:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

i'm looking forward to seeing how your haze x skunk #1 turns out. i got some freebies from sb a few weeks ago. does it have a very strong odor as of now?

[GreenLeaf420]

thank you GreenLeaf :thumbsup:

:jointsmile:

Wow that is some RATIO Amazing. I see why your plants are not so bushy. Your not overdoing it at all with the nutes which is a good thing to keep it simple. I press and press to get them bigger and bushier and then you run into problems with LOCKOUT or Root Burn Ect...


Good Job:thumbsup:

[shakur]

hi ppl, here some update. 1st pic i cut the lower branches and the main stem bend over with the wheight of the crown.2nd pic is the lower branches i put to dry in a closet, they smell very strong, is one sativa*indica from africa. the big plant is one skunk nº1*original haze. hope u like :jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

They came out beautifully! I am so happy to see such a good harvest, and how far you have come learning to grow cannabis!
A tip for next time is that you can transplant into an even BIGGER pot to finish flowering, because that will give your roots more room and better root health means bigger buds, and I see evidence that they were cramped for space towards the end. But that is just a hint for next time and that looks like a GREAT balcony grow!

[shakur]
