long overdue update

[hanayama]

6 weeks yesterday
mary is about 15 inches tall and jan is about 16 -161/2 inches

they will be put into flowering in about a week.

our first cloning attempt was a big failure...oh well
live and learn, im sure ill take some clippings from my next batch.

i got a couple dank bags recently from a buddy that were kinda seedy- so i now have 17 seeds in germination!!!!!!

[stinkyattic]

Your adult plant looks excellent.
The small ones, though, look like they are getting fertilizer burn. What are you using for soil, and has it ever been used before?

[hanayama]

no, no fertilizer.
they were screwed up during cloning.
i was going to trash them...but figured i might as well see if any survive. its fresh soil.

besides nitrogen deprivation the week before flowering, do i need to do anything to prep them for flowering????

[stinkyattic]

Actually depriving them of N the week before isn't all that great a way to go about things. In fact, many growers continue to give some N even during the first ~10 days of flower, JUST until it appears that stretch is slowing down. After that, you do indeed deprive them of N by switching to a bloom fert that has little to no nitrogen in it.
One thing that some growers swear by is an extended 'night' before flowering. 24-36 hours of pure uninterrupted darkness sends the unmistakable signal to the plant, 'it is time to flower... ready... set... [lights come on]... GO!!!!!'

[FlyGuyOU]

whats the deal on our mutant leaf? and the 8 and 9 sided ones? are they more prevelant? any preflowers? i must say they are looking nice...I found an extra seed at my place from the same batch...the shell just popped last night so i might plant it later this eve

[hanayama]

thanks stinky. i just re- read a thread of yours about...well...everything.
got it squared away i think.

[hanayama]

well I am down to one big plant.
i measured her yesterday, 24 inches!!
the little girls in the cups are from some pretty good bagseed i got.
since i know for sure that jan is a girl...she got her preflowers i took 2 clones yesterday

question tho...how many gallons should i give her per watering?
the closet she is in has really low humidity(around 35%) so she dries up pretty fast.
i gave her 2 gallons yesterday morning and tonight she was looking droopey and the soil was dry. so i gave her 3 gallons, and think i will stick with that(3 gals. per watering) from now on.
does this sound strizzle???

[hanayama]

anyone have an estimate on how much she will yield? figuring she will be btwn. 4 and 4 1/2 ft. at harvest. and will be using a 400 watt hps for flowering

[FlyGuyOU]

looking damn fine

[FlyGuyOU]

wheres the new update? i wanna see the new light yo's got
and dem clones

[hanayama]

Jan is 4 weeks into flowering tomorrow.
the two plants in veg are about 4 1/2 weeks old.
if you look at the last pic, you can see she has a really long bottom branch that is sticking out and she is growing sideways...i think im going to prop her up today

[hanayama]

....

[hanayama]

a carbon scrubber i just made...seems to be working well

[stinkyattic]

Nice- so those 2vegging plants were the clones you took? Dizzamn~ Man, some of y'alls make it look so easy. You have NO idea how long it took me to learn to clone! lol!

[hanayama]

hahaha no i wish.:yeahright:
cloning was a HORRIBLE disaster of death and mayhem.
those 2 are some bag seed from some rather diggity shit.
jan is from some bag too.

[FlyGuyOU]

Dizam squire stubens! jan is lookin fine. those side branches are realling budding out too.

[FlyGuyOU]

have you been adding mollassas? following the nute printout or doing something different? o and i found two more seeds that are from this same sack. idk what to do with them, i think ill hold em for awhile.

[hanayama]

since we started the molasses, its been used about every 10 days.
nutes are recommended once a week, we did every other watering, so about every 3-4 days.
plus flushing once a month.

[Treetops]

a carbon scrubber i just made...seems to be working well

Looks like a fine job to me...

Cool!! That will make your "kids" happy....

Peace,
Treetops :hippy:

[hanayama]

yea i think its helping.
its pretty ghetto rigged with about a marathon's worth of duct tape....but fuck it...it works!

[KillerMac]

MENARDS BUCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!! the memories...anyway how did you jerry rig that filter? Is it chillin on the floor running??? does that cut the smell down pretty well....what fan ect ect... thanks

-CMAC-

[KillerMac]

i cant wait till you harvest thats gonna be nuts...

[hanayama]

thanks killermac. yea im pretty pumped too...first grow.:dance::clap:
i used a 4 inch 80 cfm fan...but if you have a bigger area you may want to go a little larger

mine is done based on this...

6 weeks flower tomorrow

[hydrocannabis]

hot dam that bush look so great. so what kind of light u got that under.

and U might should take some shots of the buds just after the lights go off.

:thumbsup: :D :thumbsup:

[hanayama]

thanks hydrocann

its under a 400 watt hps, with about 15 cfls arranged around it down low.
ill try to get some close ups soon

[FlyGuyOU]

yay love it, whats the new word on the little uns? and howd that hermie stuff work out?

[hanayama]

no more babies...gotta move soon.
just rocking the one huge fuck plant.
the "reverse" didnt work so well. i guess to get guaranteed results you need to do it at the onset of flowering and then 10 days later.
all proactive like n shit. none the less, ill re-apply in a couple days.
but im plucking the balls outta her for now.
with the exception of the nads, this first grow has been a major success i think...so whatevs!

[Treetops]

Hana,
Nice lookin plants...very robust...should be enjoyable..

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[hanayama]

thanks treetops.
yea im pretty pumped about the whole thing.
only days away i think.
trics are starting to look good. lotsa red hair popping all over too.
8 weeks will be this coming tuesday ...looking forward to it to say the least

and it just so happens, if you add about 2 weeks for drying and curing... you arrive only a few days from 420... so theres that

[hanayama]

week 7 plus 3 flowering.

[hanayama]

im pumped

[FlyGuyOU]

looking phat, i really like to upclose pics. just goes to show you can go all the way to harvest w/o yellowing leaves. whats the smell issue? does the scrubber work? and the lights?

[hanayama]

it smells a little bit...bot not too bad.
the scrubber seems to help, but not enough.
what about the lights?

[ultimatefreak48]

Hey Guys.....

How do i keep my plants short, i wanna have a compact grow, nothing too big, dont really care about yield, just success

[darbolah]

nice work :P
