08 indoor to outdoor grow

[inbud]

To Get You up to date
(Medical Marijuna Grow)

- started seeds feb. 23

-- about thirty (i can have 24 in vedge and 12 in flower) came up, so some that came up late or looked punney were plucked.
-- light is a bank of like eight long floresent, lots of lumens (15 hours light/9 hours dark)
-- fan put on them to keep temps at around 74 degrees (as i understand that temp to be the right range to get mostly females)

- they were started in jiffy pellets, then transfered to peet pots (this step i will not do next year, as i tried putting jiffy pellets into gallon containers last year and they grew lots bigger faster)

- i have all of them in gallon containers at about five weeks, culled out the small and male.
- - at about this time i got three Sugar Granddaddy Purple and one Amethyst clones.
- - now five Purps from BC Seed company
- - one Mango
- - one Rob's Kush
- - one male Purps (in flower now, for seeds to a female that is with him not counted above, in another room.
- - one more clone of the Sugar Grandaddy Purple, much smaller than the first ones.
------and five outside purps that are being tortured, by being outside in the cold.

*average last frost here the end of May, when the others will be going out*

Did some cloning the other day, so now i have a tray of some clones to go with the above plants.
Below find the pics

thot i would thro this up agian on the board....anyone interested?

[keeko]

very interested.........your plants look nice and healthy.

[inbud]

thank You keeko..... Because of Your nice reply, i will continue the log...thanks

[Cannabis-Sativa]

Ya the plants look good, very healthy.

[keeko]

:thumbsup:........how long have you been doing this?....looks like you have some good experience.

[inbud]

this is my second medical MJ grow, my husband has always had a plant or two around during the summer. Otherwise i have only grown one year, i have Cervantes book, "Medical Marijauna Growers Guide", and read that when i have questions, and come to places like this and read.

[inbud]

Okay, let me see ---

1. the plants have moved outside, out two weeks ahead of schedual. Due to a mild forcast in the weather here for those two weeks. It went well, (record highs for this area) cept about half went into flower, which is okay with me. So we will have some harvesting and some just going into flower at the same time.

2. most of the plants have grown five to seven inches since going outside. they went out on the 8th of May.

3. Got a cloner! Tho did clone some into dirt a couple weeks back and got 4 to root, they are now outside. And i have some clones started inside.

4. the temps outside this week have been a little cool for the girls, but have not gone under 43 degrees.

5. the female i pollenated is below and my avatar, it is the Amethyst + NL from seeds made last year, it now has Purps from BC seed co. pollen making seeds.....so the seeds will be will be amethystNLpurp, i guess. The buds have been showing light purple for a week or so now. Not from the cold either, this is all the way thru.

The cloner has me excited, i put some mango, some Purps and one Sugar Granddaddy Purple in it and hope to be planting them in a week or less. This is something i know nothing about as i have always been buying clones or making them in soil. This should be fun.:D

wont be postin the pics right now as there are some kind of log in issues. will try agian in a few minutes.

[inbud]

more log in issues, will try agian tomarrow, sure wanted to post pics

[inbud]

2. The first girls put in soil, after bout a week in the ezcloner.

3. An amethyst in bud, this plant was put outside in April, it was kinda cold then for her. She is about two feet tall and has bud all up her stalk. Kinda looks like a xmas tree.

the photos are as above post.:hippy: gonna go burn one to celebrate!:jointsmile:

[buckyboy]

How did you get that plant to look so FULL like that? That little christmas tree looking one?

[keeko]

nice autumn leaves. looking great

[inbud]

Thank you for noticing my humble effort here.

As for that little plant that looks like a Mini Xmas tree, i did nothing different, it is the same age as these plants i am posting down here. Tho it did go outside a month and a half earlier than the ones posted below. It was covered, and the temps didnt fall to freezing very often, outside.

yesterday i took the plant i had pollenated on April 23, and from the seed i looked at, it looks like i will have a few dozen seeds and some very nice smoke. The trichs were over 50% cloudy and maybe 10% amber. Amethyst/NorthernLights + Purps by BC seed co.

Below find two Purps plants, one Amethyst (the lil bush), and one of Rob's Kush. And the bud i took yesterday.

[inbud]

These two were put outside at the same time in April. These were covered each night with a plastic box. the one is budding like a xmas tree, and it is less than two feet tall, the other one, has very dark buds (purple) and the short one has green buds so far with white hairs.


i dont know why the last pics i posted were fuzzy. But i am not complaining, they posted and i am happy.:D

[inbud]

this is one busy site, and am glad i was able to post pics finally. Hope i get a comment or two sometime.:hippy:

[smoknablunt]

look great, all of your plants look very healthy. I really want to try and put in some clones but I think it is getting too late. keep on posting pictures!

[inbud]

i just put out more clones last week...and i have a real short grow season....:hippy:

[TheCannabisBear]

Inbud congratulations with your beautiful garden, what an accomplishement. looking great:thumbsup:

[allrollsin21]

beautiful garden inbud. You must be up in the mountains if you have a short grow season in CA. Mine is pretty short here as well. I am keeping my fingers crossed that some of my girls stay in veg for a bit longer. Wherever you are about when does the flower cycle kick in?

[inbud]

Dont come here much, as you can tell.
below find pics taken on July 18, the one of the first flower, the last pic was taken on July 29 i think.

We have had huge amounts of smoke from the fires here in Northern ___, and the plants seem to be doing alright, but i would have perfered them to get bigger before flowering.
All but one or two are in early flower now. The first to flower were the oldest plants. All of the inside seeded plants have gone back to vedging. i have taken the xmas tree and will post pics of it and one other plant i harvested since i last posted here.

find the pics below if i can logg out and logg back in to post...wish me luck..

[inbud]

remember taken two weeks ago....

[inbud]

This plant was a cross i made from Amethyst and NorthernLights last year. i have three of them left in the garden. This one never grew any larger than 1 foot 9 inches (if i remember correctly). This lil girl had all cloudy trichs when i took her. She was starting to revedge and i did not want that. She gives a nice "heady" high, and you can function well and not feel like you are glued to the couch. When i first smoked her, i reorganized my entire 08 grow photo file.

[McDanger]

Looks great!! The sun really is your friend:D:D

[inbud]

This plant was my first purps harvested. This is also my attempt at FIM technique. I got four very nice cola's and like the Amethyst above, it showed signs of revedging so i took it last week. Most of the other plants (late clones) in the garden are now just starting to flower and the oldest plants (put out in March?April?) are into flowering heavy (pic 4).

Pics
1. wet Purps
2. dry Purps
3. curing Purps
4. Monster, Amethyst+NorthernLights, seed from 07 grow.

Tho i did not get a purple color from this plant (the buds anyway, the stems were real purple), the aroma is sweet and grape like. The trichs were maybe fifty fifty clear cloudy. the high is mental, tho it seems a nap is in order after bout an hour from smoking. I took her early because she was revedging and i must make room for the new clones to start flowering.

[inbud]

Six plants bit the dust today. Had to do it, they were just not the biggest in the garden. Next year, not gonna start plants early. Gonna do all clones. Am bummed, tho the plants are drying on a screen and will be used for hash after the full harvest in the fall. One, the Amethyst looked good enough to hang. She had only started to revedge on top. So she is drying and we will try her out in about a week. The others.....hash.:hippy:

[inbud]

Most of the revedging plants bit the dust.

1. Full garden view from second story window, view from my desk. all first four pics.
2. the oldest two plants, farthest along in flower.
3. The back left side of the garden. Some of those bushes are sitting on pots that had plants in them untill lately.
4. One of the New Clones, put out in June.
5. Amethyst+Northernlights, i have taken some of this plant then let it continue to bud. this plant has early, mid and late flowers on it. One more week and it bites the dust, or bout one week, it got it's last feed this morning. I dont know if you can see but there is ash all over the leaves of this plant.

ash on the leaves? Care to explain?

[inbud]

There are ashes on the leaves because i live where the fires burn in Northern California.....wild fires and wind means i get ash on my plants. Pretty smokey today too.
:(

[hatch]

Great Thread!!!,,,,,,,,,You Have Some Awesome Plant's My Brother!!!!!!,,,,,,,,Great Job On The Cross,,,,,,,look's Like You Made Some Fire!!!!,,,,,,,,,Best Of Luck!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,Later,,HATCH:pimp::smokin::ston ed:

:(

California has almost as many wild fires as they have liberals :p

Sucks though :(

[inbud]

Was looking at the garden's flowers last night. Noticed the Amethyst+Northernlights named Tuffy, is showing that she will be a purple calyx plant. I was hoping i got one more out of the two i have left. Now the Monster, tuffys sister plant has not shown any signs of purple. That purple smoke is so sweet. I cant wait to try some that goes full term.:jointsmile::thumbsup: I will take some more pics in the next days.
Good Growing!
And thank goodness we have LESS fires than Liberals here in CA. Fires you can put out. Liberal Fire...there is no putting that out...thanks to us Liberals, i get to grow this beautiful Medicine.

[SouthernGuerilla]

lol yep.

[greenatik]

hey i feel for you on the smoke and ashes, i got 80% male rate from those 2 horribly smoky weeks

glad to see a grower in the area making it! :thumbsup: know lots of people that got wrecked around here because of the smoke

good job great plants cant wait to see the end results on those monsters

peace :jointsmile:

[inbud]

hey greenatik......We still have smoke! Going on seven weeks now of fires. Tho we have had a week total of nice clear skys (but that meant wind and the fires got worse). I wonder what my plants would have done without the smoke. Next year, i will find out.

below please find,

3 plants 3 weeks in flower, these being the plants that were put out early (cant remember March? April? will have to read my own journal to remind me).

these are the pics that you can see the smoke behind, not the ones below (added in edit)

[inbud]

These are what i refer to as the New Clones. They were planted outside and well on their way the first week in June.

Two week in Flower

the last pic is my attempt at LST, i just couldnt get her to grow along the fence as i planned, she just bushed out from all her nodes. I do have two stalks tied to the back fence and they look like they will bud nicely, as will all of her.

You can see the smoke in the sky behind the plants. I took these pics bout seven pm yesterday.

[stinkyattic]

The heady/mental high followed by a crash is most likely because you took them at still a high % clear. Try letting them go all cloudy- that crash might remind you of the Beasters crash, whcih is EXACTLY that.
For purple colors in purple strains, check out SnowStorm aka PurpleMaxx. If a plant CAN turn purple, the hormone (kelp-derived) will maximize the purple coloration.
Your plants look very very healthy and to be yielding really well. I've always thought the Soma Lavender was beautiful, and your cross looks great.

[kack409]

looking very nice....wish icould find some grandaddy purp...i guess querkle wil have to do for me =]

[inbud]

thanks for the look Ms Attic and all others, i knew taking her early was wrong, but i am a medical grower, and i had to thin out my garden as i can only have a certain number in flower. So when they all started to flower, the early flowering plants that were revedging and would yeild less had to go. I was only able to really salvage three (to smoke), the others tho i am drying to possibly make some kinda canna butter out of, or something along that line.
again, thank you to all who come by and comment or just look.:thumbsup:

...and Ms Attic, is this stuff Kelp-derived hormone the name of a hormone product? would this be available at like a hydro shop? the plant really does have light purple calyx tho dark would be way cool.....i know when i harvest i will have cool weather and that will turn them purple some, but i would much rather have a dark purple from natural means. I have not yet seen this plant when it went to full ripeness.

find below of a pic of the plant that was one who was put out early and was the ABSOLUTE first seed to pop last winter. i just couldnt sacrafice her she is so beauitful. tho i did take some of her before she started to revedge. She never wholy revedged. You can see three different stages of flower on her...is way cool plant to me. My avatar is when she was first flowering.:D

[stinkyattic]

The product used to be called Stacker and then Purple Maxx and is now sold under the name SnowStorm. It's a Humbolt nutes product (same company that makes Gravity). You can get it at a grow shop no probs, and I have to say I really like it as a foliar.

[inbud]

Thank you for the info Ms Attic, i read that sentence over and over in your first post, thot you were refering to a MJ strain. I will look into getting some. :hippy: The Humbolt folks prolly got lots of access to seaweed...lol.

[zlessley]

Aloha ms. bud! Just thought I'd compliment you on a job well done with those plants, very beautiful! You californians are an inspiration to a lot of us, specially here in MT! Thanks for helping make the world a little greener :D
peace,
Z

[inbud]

Put in the drip system last weekend. Will post pics this commin weekend. Gonna stop by the hydro store and pick up some of the Kelp Hormones, Snowstorm. I seem to have two i think (one for sure) that are showing the purple buds and will try the stuff.:hippy:

[hydrocannabis]

so about how long have yours been in flowering?

[inbud]

The three oldest plants that were started from seed, they started to flower on July 26. They will be flowering one month on the 26, five days. They are putting on some weight already. One of the plants (Purps) looks like the weight is making the plant look bigger around than it did.

The plants that are refered to as the "new clones" started bout a week later. August 2nd.

They are all getting bloom nutes now. Age old bloom now (also a fox farm product i cant remember the name of), and Cha Ching later.

I got the kelp hormone mentioned above. The instructions say use it in the last three weeks. So......that means prolly at least three weeks from now. I am thinking the oldest plants will come ready the end of September or early October.

[inbud]

Last evening, two bucks came into view from my upstairs window. I shot maybe fifty pictures of them. Due to the glare from the window they did not come out well. Find below one of the Bucks.
Also Find below,

1. Amethyst+NorthernLights (the bud on the left is over three inches thick)
2. Amethyst+NorthernLights (Monster, one of the plants put out early, almost 4 weeks into flower)
3. "New Clone" 3 weeks into flower
4. LST clone, 3 weeks into flower
5. 4 point Buck and Spike (spike wanted my cherry tomatoes and was shooo'd away)

I also re-read the new Snow Storm Nutes and i was wrong, i can give this stuff to them now in early flower too. It also implys that the regular nutrients will be taken up by the roots better using this stuff. I am all for that.

[inbud]

I am heading out to give the girls their first dose of this new Purple Max Snow Storm nutes. The directions indicate i should decrease my normal nutes to 1/3. I am just going to use this on two plants first. Two of the "new clones" are gonna get the experimental doses (call them new clone 1 and 2, as that is their standing in the garden). If they do well, i will do the other "new clones". The oldest plants wont get any at all. Everyone out there is getting a dose of "Cha Ching" by Fox Farms tonight. Of course the girls who get the Purple Max will get 1/3 their normal dose. The bottle says to watch for nute burn, because the Purple Max makes the nutes get taken up better than without. We will see. I am currently experiencing major yellowing of my fan leaves. The partner says this is normal. The leaves around the buds are staying a nice dark green.
Wish me luck with this new stuff.....it will be interesting.
(bottle also indicates that leaves also may turn purple!)

Also on a side note, noticed yesterday the plants are putting on a light frost of trichs! And, the Tuffy plant that is a Amethyst cross Northernlights has purple on the leaves of the buds. Looks awesome. :hippy:

[hydrocannabis]

any new pic.

[inbud]

no more pics today..but i will try to get the camera out there in the morning.....more portraits the better, they seem to be changing by the day. The purps calix's seem to be turning a light purple, almost a grey color. Looks interesting.:thumbsup:

[painretreat]

Nice and informative thread. Thanks for sharing! pr :jointsmile:

Love the pix!!:thumbsup:

[inbud]

1. purps, flowering 23days
2. Amethyst+NorthernLights, flowering 30 days
3,4 purps, flowering 23 days
5. Mango revedged, same age plant as #2

[hydrocannabis]

omg omg omg omg.

[Whitewidow89]

yo dawg she looks beautiful. wow nice grow man i have to say. nice grow.

[inbud]

Found a little devil eating the hairs from the buds this afternoon. The little guy hit about a dozen buds and gave those girls crew cuts! I chased him around till i got him good .... teach him to eat before dinner is ready.

and...thanks for looking in and commenting or just enjoying the girls.

[inbud]

1. Amethyst+NorthernLights, to be harvested this week
2. LST
3-4.Purps clones bud
5. Amethyst+NorthernLights bud, same plant as #1.

The temps here in the afternoon have been hitting 105-108 this week. The aroma of the garden gets real strong in the afternoon. The buds look to be packing on the Trichs. I see no difference yet with the two I put the Purple Max on yet. Tho one seems to be putting on more trichs. She gets an late afternoon shade tho, where the others dont.

[SouthernGuerilla]

Looking damn nice! :greenthumb:

[inbud]

I had my daughter up for the Labor day week end and found her to be a very accomplished bud trimmer. She told me stories of making cash in High School trimming bud for her friends parents. Now I hear of this over ten years later. Some things you just dont want/need to know as a parent. :hippy:

We cut her down early in the morning, and I am still enjoying her aroma each time I come into the house.

1. - 4. Trimmed Amethys x NorthernLights (black background taken with flash)
5. Left overs from last falls harvest. The baggie has this years xmas tree bud in it.

[inbud]

Four Weeks today in Flower
picture 1 and 2
3 is 5 weeks

1. Mango - i think as this plant is totally different than the purps. I took some clones from my mango back when i cloned and now am convinced they were mixed up, as this plant has all the charactoristics of the original mango plant.

2.-3. Purps

4. Amethyst x NorthernLights (monster) This is the only one out of three (now two) that shows the characteristics of the NorthernLights plant. Thick hard buds with very long white bud hairs (Pistles?)

[inbud]

the above post should read -
1-3 clones four weeks in flower
4 five weeks in flower

the girls will all get fed ChaChing today and the Purple Max hormones. I am also adding the Mollassas to the mix.
46f morning temp.

[SouthernGuerilla]

Coming along quite nice.

[zebulon]

Looks great, nice work, enjoy those buds........:jointsmile:

[inbud]

1. Garden today 9/3/08
2. Garden one month ago 8/2/08

I added the mollassas to the 1/3 strength nutes (ChaChing) and the Purple Max to all of the plants last evening. The Purple Max i have used only on two plants and it seems one of them is putting on more size and trichs than the other. So i decided to use it on all the plants.

(mollassas 1 Tablespoon per Gallon)

Having any problems with caterpillars or any bugs?

:greenthumb:

[inbud]

i do have spidermites on two of my plants. Clones i bought last spring. But since they are outside and not touching any other plants i am not trying to get rid of them like i was when they were inside. Unfortuately they are my potentially most potent strain. I am not sure how i will feel smoking spider mites. But being that i have been smoking outdoor weed my whole life, i prolly smoked my share of bugs.

After reading Sky's thread on bud rot tho, i did have some of that on the plant i harvested last weekend. I had noticed that near the main stalk there was a dried looking area, i just thot it was old plant material from when the plant revedged. But, there was also white fiberous material in there on a buds leaf. This i didnt see untill we had her cut down. tho i did see some white stuff, almost like large eggs while she was still standing. Looking under the micro, they look fiborous and not like any eggs i had ever seen before. i am gonna be checking my older plants real careful now. I have two that are like missils, real tight buds, in long stalks.

I have got to get him to quit spraying the plants in the evening...the ash is gone now.

[hydrocannabis]

hell yah loven the purple buds. and the rest of em R looken great as ever.:thumbsup:

[inbud]

1. Purps, "new clone", 5 wks
2. close up of Purps bud, "new clone", 5 wks
3. Buds of my attempt at LST, 5 wks, the worst in the garden for leaf loss.
4. Mango, revedged, 6 wks, noticed some pink in the pistles one day and cant find it the next.
5. Amethyst x Northernlights, 6 wks, Plant looks very much like true Nothernlights, thick heavy buds, green calix and thick white pistles that are browning some. This is the sister plant to the Purple bud harvested in above post.

Still loosing a lot of leaves to yellowing. I cant tell if the buds are bulking up on the "new clones". I am out there every day picking dried leaves off them. Tho, the SugarGrandaddyPurple dont seem to be loosing leaves like the bigger plants. I am trying to cut back on water and let them dry out more between watering. The temps here are consistantly hitting over 100f daily, night around 50f.

They are getting molassas every other day and ChaChing at third strength and the Purple Max hormones weekly.

[gianca]

wow, looking really good! the purple looks amazing. with the yellowing leaves, i was told this is normal toward the maturing stage, and i have also been picking dry, dead leaves off all my plants daily, so i think its a normal thing.

lets compare crops, when we're both done? probably going to be finishing within a week or two of eachother.


gianca
:rastasmoke::weedpoke::rastasmoke::weedpoke:

[inbud]

Thanks for coming by and taking a look.
We could compare if you like.....i have one that looks like a northernLights, she is pictured above.

All Girls got ChaChing last night at half strength, and Purple Max at 1/2 teaspoon per gallon (see no purpling on leaves, the dark purple on the oldest amethyst bud is really dark). Also added in the molassas, at 1 Tablespoon per gallon. Next feeding they will get Dr. Hornby's Big Bud (last two weeks of feeding for the older plants). This is 0-40-10, I think, if i remember right.

Seems like the oldest Purps (from seed) bud is not getting bigger. Seems like the Purps clones bud have caught up with her in size. :hippy:

i'm just wondering..u have these planted in the ground, correct? and did they start in a bucket and u move them to ground for flowering? cuz i just had a big fail with rootbound plants and going hermie or w/e sorry im nooby grower it was my first time but it wasn't quite a success lol

[inbud]

The plants are all in containers. Some the regular ones you get from nurseries (15 gal, I think, that trees come in). There are three in very large pots, I would say 25 gallons or so (from Home Depot). Then I have two in big Hydro pots I got from the Hydro store, actually have three but only using two now. Where I am, I dont have good top soil and if I dig into the ground where it is flat out there, I am pretty sure I will hit my septic tank or leach feild and the husband says that is a big no no. So, for now, pots it is. Been thinking bout a raised bed system....just thinking now. Oh, and I also used mostly OceanForest soil with some HappyFrog added in, some plants also have mushroom compost too.
As for root bound, I am sure they are quite crowded. I see their roots on top when I water. I feed these plants every week, so I never considered that being root bound would be a problem. The three biggest plants have actually been in the same pot since April and they were six inches or so. If they were in the ground, they would be at least twice their size or more.
Thanks for looking in on my grow. :hippy:
Last year, was my first serious year growing (have grown one plant a year for a few years but not serious like now) and I didnt do to well at all, tho I finished the year out with a few ounces. But I did learn alot about revedging and harvesting/curing. This year, I am hoping for 3 pounds, but am pretty sure I wont get it.

[nick19882003]

ook i was just wondering i just attempted my first grow this year and had rootbound/hermie problems cuz i figured 5 gallon buckets were enough but obviously not but ty for sharing...looks splendid btw..way to go

[gianca]

5 gallons should be plenty! i dont think it was a rootbound problem that caused it to go hermie. do you have a thread with this plant? or at least pictures to start a thread? im kinda interested now

[inbud]

1 - 2 Amethyst x NorthernLights

3 - 4 Purps

5. Sea of Purps

The only thing out there happening right now....
IS the Leaves are drying up and falling off. At least they are not doing it all in one day. Hopefully there will be some leaves left when harvest comes around.

[gianca]

looking good! same with my plants and the leaves. seems like the next layer of leaves come off each day

[hydrocannabis]

well ya look at that. its a nice round bush.:thumbsup:

loven the purps.

[inbud]

Due to certain circumstances beyond my control, I will be harvesting three plants this week. :hippy:

1. a Purps, "new clone" (done today, pics below)
2. an unknown, i thot was a purps, but it looks different.
3. a sugar grandaddy purple, the smallest.

All three have cloudy trichs, but I am sure they are early.

[nick19882003]

well actually i didn't have a camera at the time but i already pulled them it was sad though but i had one left cuz it looked way different and lots of hairs and stuff even though inside it was all seeds i was letting it grow more to mature the seeds but today someone came up in my back yard and robbed the bucket and all in the middle of the day XD lmao....pretty pathetic if u ask me when i walked out there and seen i just laughed cuz it's such a residential neighborhood but then i got pissed cuz they didn't even leave me my bucket so they probably got stopped down the road by a cop wondering why the fuck they're carrying a 5 gallon bucket with a plant out of it that is so obviously a pot plant it's not even funny....idk though i dont know enough about it i just had some help and someone diagnosed it as hermie and the problem probably being rootbound.....i do have a question....i had two plants in one small bucket...they were gauranteed rootbound could they have caused the other one to go hermie also?

Yum yum luv the purps. Looks good :thumbsup:

Are those "Fiskars brand" hand trimmer I see?
Handy little things eh ;)

[zebulon]

Looks really good, i love the color of those buds, nice work....:jointsmile:

[SouthernGuerilla]

I'm having fun just trying to imagine the smell. :stoned:

[inbud]

Hey dude with the Hermi (Nick), There are lots of reasons that a plant will hermi. Most any kind of stress can do it. And the seeds just might have it in their genes.
You could at least have commented on my beautiful plants since you are comming to my thread to ask questions. You could actually ask these questions by making your own thread. Sorry to hear you were ripped off tho. And the seeds from a hermi should be thrown away, as they will tend to hermi too.

bc...dont know the brand name of the sissors but they are great for trimming bud. No cramps in the hands with those sweet sissors.

And
SG, The whole house smells kinda like Fruit flavored gum. I keep getting a whiff of it and wonder what the heck is that...then remember the buds are drying downstairs.

Today I am harvesting the Odd "Mango". Pics later. Taking a break now from trimming her. This plant has to be mango cause it looks just like the one i KNOW is Mango. There must have been more mix ups when taking them outside than I thot. Back later with some pics.

[inbud]

Because it looks like the other plant that i KNOW is mango. And i thot it was purps when it was transplanted into it's last container.

It took way to long trimming up this plant. The buds were so close together on the tall kola that the inside of the buds were just all deformed looking. I trimmed it up like i would like to smoke it. It is on the screen downstairs drying now, no hanging for this bud. It was a lot more sticky than the purps i took yesterday, or....It was more sticky cause i had to handle the actual bud more, is prolly the case. I have one more to go, a SugarGrandaddyPurple gets the ax on Friday. :hippy: Forgot to say the trichs were mostly cloudy, gonna smoke some finger hash in a bit.....

[SouthernGuerilla]

Damn dude that one bud looks mmm, mmm, good.

[inbud]

bc, looked at those nice sissors and you were right, under all that resin was the name Fisker. I am not sure if i spelled that right. Before full harvest i got to find me one more pair for who ever is gonna help me trim. It took so long yesterday to do that plant. Thank goodness i dont have a lot that revedged, but tomarrow I do the Grandaddy and it is also a revedge plant.

:lol5:....sorry, mate but u dont need everyone to come on this thread to tell u ur buds are beautiful...u know they are..if everyone else doesn't, oh well but I do and they look superb sorry i didn't take the extra 10 seconds to prop u on how awesome a grower u are? they do look VERY good and I guess I'm sorry for not pointing that out :i feel stupid:

[allrollsin21]

Hey Inbud nice ladies. Brilliant purple hues on those nugs, not the leaves.

I also have some GDP that revegged. And a bunch of others that did not. I wonder if it is something in their Genes that caused the reveg. What do you think?

[inbud]

Is cool Nick, I do know they look good, was giving you ****. Now if you can help me out keeping those leaves from yellowing and falling off..... and remember, hermi seeds tend to hermi.

One SugarGrandaddyPurps got the ax today. Sorry to say no pics, those buds were hussled downstairs and are drying on a screen. On another sad note, she was not near as cloudy as i would have liked her. She took longer even than the mango to clip. I am really looking forward to harvest. The oldest plants we will let go to mostly amber. I am thinking the middle of next month to start taking them.

allrollsin, I do know why my plants went into flower as soon as I put them out. The change in the light schedual. I picked the flowers off them except the Amethyst x Northernlights that I let go and harvested earlier in this thread. I dont think the strain, granddaddypurps, had anything to do with mine revedging. I had three, two went into flower pretty far before they revedged, one, I picked as many of the flowers off of and it went back vedging real fast. I have very high hopes for her, even tho she is very small.

[veggii]

inbud nice results on the indoor to outdoor i will be trying out this style of growing, mainly cause i have no $$ too purchase a HPS,and the only grows I've been around are outdoors and when compared too the indoors I see here wow! the indoors suck nothing grows bud like sunshine! maybe when that luxim bulb finally hits market or when I can buy 8 hps 1000wtrs
did you say you need a manicure I'm in chico if your close enough I'll come help :jointsmile:
ps:? did you transplant into ground or containers? when goin outside

[inbud]

Lol..needing help, by the time the plants are ready, my main helper will be off work for the season, but thanks all the same. Am REALY interested in the words LUXIM BULB, what is it? does it cost less to run than the standard expensive bulbs, will it go into a HPS socket? Guess i should google it. Thanks for looking in and commenting.

Oh...and we are growing in containers, 15 gallons (that trees come in) and a few very large hydro containers and a couple large pots from home depot. Next year tho...i just got a thousand dollars I am gonna put in a retainning wall and grow in the the GROUND!!! Hopefully. If no emergencies come up between now and then, i got that cash stashed for the reataining wall. :hippy:

[inbud]

This morning, out in the garden, looking at the color of the trichs on the three oldest plants. I am seeing some amber, and most all trichs are cloudy. These three plants went into flower on July 26, September 20 is eight weeks. On one of the plants he brought in a few samples for me to look at (earlier) and.......they were so filled with amber I started freaking. So we went outside to look some more. Taking a larger sample, we found that closer to the buds themselves the trichs to be all cloudy. This plant is a cross between Amethyst and NorthernLights (looking more northernlights like), if i remember correctly northernlights has a eight week flowering time. Then we checked the dark purple amethystnorthernlights (all cloudy). He was pulling down a bud for me to take a pic of and the branch snapped. So the pics below. Pulled out the dehydrator, to dry this bud. I want to try smoking some (like i could really tell as bombed on codine as i am right now). Gonna be watching these girls daily, and possibly be harvesting next weekend.

(side note, I am on some codine cause of a tooth ache, so the above may not make as much sense as i think)
dehydrating done, good high, kinda harsh.

[SouthernGuerilla]

Tell him to be more careful next time! :)
Good pic of the purple bud, would be nice to see the trichomes if possible.

Maybe I'll be able to out do y'all next year. :stoned:

[allrollsin21]

INbud how do you know those three plants went into flower on July 26th? Is it because thats the day you put them outside.

I am in the foothills and am not sure when the technical flower period started. I know indoors they are flowering for at least a week before any flowers are visible. So how would I know outdoors?

I am checking the Trichs daily and see cloudy mostly, with a small percentage amber at the most. I have some conflicting happenings in life and am trying to even have a 1-10 estimation of when i'll be chopping. Any ideas?

[inbud]

i know they went into bud on the 26th cause that is when i first spotted flowers on them. Depends on what variety your plants are allrolls. I am pretty sure northernlights are an early eight week in flower plant. But, keep watching those trichs, they will tell you when. I dont understand what you mean by 1-10 estimation on chopping. If you want a good mind high, more cloudy is best. If you want a more narcotic high then more amber than cloudy. Just dont let your girls get to far into amber, you start loosing THC in the trichs when they get old. Good luck to you, with your grow and conflicts.

And my emergency came up, just like clockwork, may not get my retaining wall and a root canal instead. Waiting on the dentist apointment now.:(

[allrollsin21]

root canal...boo hoo! Thats a bummer. I bet some of the herb will help you mend from that.

By 1-10 i meant days, as in nailing down approximatelly when harvest i would be better timed with my flush. I am notsure its really an issue on some of my plants as all the leaves are turning purple as the plant is sucking all the nutrients from them. Cool looking, but a little too early IMO.

Thanks for your advice and well wishes. Post up some nugs when your done, PLEASE

[inbud]

I think my oldest plants will go another week, maybe ten days (started flushing them when i water, every three days now that it has cooled off). The younger clones, (they got their final feeding on Sunday) i am gonna try to keep out there till mid October, frost permitting. The leaves are turning purple now too from the cold.

44f last night.

[inbud]

Here you go SG....
mine look awful...
the cold and losing leaves to yellow has made my garden look real lousy. The cold is making what was left of the green into purple.

I am gonna be taking one of the oldest plants this sunday. It is the big amethyst x northernlights, the one pictured above with the broken bud. It is showing about one third amber over most of the buds. Some more, and some less, but mostly one third amber.
the other AmNL is comming down i think on Tuesday and the largest Purps on Wed.
I got my root canal yesterday and in a day or so will be just a trimmin away. Is kinda funny, when i was on pain killers, the smell of the pot drying downstairs or i was burping my jars, it was turning my stomache. I hope that reaction is done with..or i am gonna be a alka seltzer drinking girl when i trim them.:D I just hate absessed teeth..but the pain killers are almost worse. Glad that is over.

[inbud]

The Amethyst x Northernlights plant "Tuffy" came down in two parts. Half of her came down in the evening on the 27th and the bottom the morning of the 28th. He wanted to help, so many of the buds (he trimmed 2-3 branches to my 1) have a little more green than I wanted, but heck, I was real happy for the help. She covered two screens 25 x 50 inches. He made a couple plates up of the popcorn buds he didnt want to mess with.
Trichs over all 25% amber.

[inbud]

Our Monster, met her end this morning, or is it the beginning?
She has possibly the hardest buds in the garden. She felt like she was three pounds as she went downstairs to be hung and laid on the screen.
The cold was beginning to purple the tips of her bud leaves.
As I trimmed her, I checked the trichs, and she is maybe ten percent amber. Thick with Very Cloudy Trichs, more under the leaves than on top. I didnt take pics of her in her final trim, by the time I got done with her...I had been handling her all day.
She was the seed sister to the purple plant above. Amethyst x NorthernLights

looks great green thumbs up :thumbsup: is that plate for me? hehe
great job.

[inbud]

Thanks for looking in BC and commenting, if you want to drop by today, I would give you more than a plate to help me finish this plant I am working on now.
Got a question,
I got rain comming on Friday. This isnt gonna hurt my buds that are still out there is it? Spose to really come down. Am thinking of moving them inside with a hand truck....or put a tarp over the garden frame...What do you think? I sure dont want bud rot at this point. I want to leave the clones out for at least another two weeks. If I had a light, I would bring them in untill they were done, but I dont.

[hydrocannabis]

holy fucken moly. that is a very harvest so far. how many mo U got to go?

hella harvest man. woow.

[hydrocannabis]

I would go with a clear tarp so that they will atleast get some light. and no rain.
thats me.:thumbsup:

I would tarp over. If the rain is coming and going I wouldnt worrie, but if its around for awhile you might wanna move them in "if you had a light". Just think about stress and climate change when you do move them indoors. But if you can. Do it. Its alot of work though im sure so if you can tarp that garden frame up and just watch for the mold. You should be fine :thumbsup:

[inbud]

Okay, clear tarp it is. I love my plants but.....I hate the thot of them inside. Bugs you know. If I could I would dry them outside.

And as for how many....
hum.
I am allowed 12 in flower...
so...
I took down three....
no...
three this week.
There were three I took early, cause I can only have 12 in flower.
There is at least aproximately...
2 Sugar Granddaddy Purple, clones
2 Mango, one from seed one clone from her.
5 Purps left, two are my LST attempt
and somewhere out there, is a clone from the Sugar Grandaddy purple who flowered in the cloner and I am trying to get some seeds from her, tho I dont think that is working out. She is cute tho, bout nine inches high and packed full of bud.

all total, 12.

Today You will find below
The Purps from BC Seed Company, I bought a year ago last spring. She is the sweet mama plant to my "new clone" purps. Her Trichs are mostly cloudy and maybe 10-15% amber. She looks alot like the Amethyst x NorthernLights but she is not as dark purple. She took me ten hours (with smoke breaks and a half hour for lunch) to clip up and I never did finish with the last clip. Gonna take a lesson and let her dry for a couple days then finish her. After yesterday and today, I am so HAPPY that I am not harvesting agian for at least a week. The "new clone" purps, I want to let go till they are heavy into the amber as I can stand to wait. Frost will be a problem very soon, along with the rain this weekend.
Thank Goodness for Fiskars Sissors......and Medical MJ.

[allrollsin21]

Inbud your plants look frosty delicious. Great job on those girls.

I too am watching the weather wondering what i am going to do. I dont have a structure up anymore to throw a tarp over. Where i am it is calling for HEAVY rain. A few ladies have huge colas and a the others are very dense plants that i am afraid of water getting stuck inside the bud. I think i will need to chop most of them because moving them would be a little dangerous due to prying eyes.
It is a real shame because they look like they have a week left, currently 5-10% amber. and next week is forecast nothing but blue skies.:(

I am going to tarp the ones that i can, with the tools i have, and chop the others. Its all gonna be all right:thumbsup:

[inbud]

I am gonna take down one more later today, mango. And pray for the rest. The other half doesnt want to tarp or bring them in, he says rain for one day. He is watching a different weather channel then me I guess. I hear storms are stacking up out in the Pacific and they are heading our way. All coudy this morning here. May have to light a fire in the next few days.
I wish my "new clones" were turning amber, I would take them. So far just cloudy trichs, cant find an amber one anywhere, but hey have one more week, I think, before they start to turn.
Hold the Rain, Hold the Frost, I WANT IT MY WAY!

[Shovelhandle]

Beautiful buds.

[inbud]

Thanks guys on the nice comments on the plants.
Didn't take the Mango. Just want it to get more amber. I have to have some reefer that makes me stay on the couch. So far all i have taken is a nice mental high. And the Sugar Granddaddy Purple is my fave, smokes like the taste of hash. Gets you good and mental for about two hours and no hard crash. Good for house cleaning, or being in public (tho, public is not where i like to be when stoned).
He moved the plants yesterday in the midst of the down pour. They got wet, he got wet and they got undercover. They look to be drying up nicely this morning. Only lost one branch to breakage, tho one plant looks pretty sad cause of dead leaves that got wet, gonna have to get them off of her. We have 80 degree weather comming here by monday. Sooooooo......What does the Mold look like that i am sposed to be watching for? And where does it attack first????
Thanks for any info on that.
the pics below, are looking out my front door, he moved them up on the porch and the steps. So, Knock, Knock, who's there? Lots of pot in pot's....lol. Mango and Purps, comming for dinner!

[gianca]

can i come over for dinner also?:D

they look great! i really want to grow some colorful bud for my next grow, so im gunna pop some purple empress, and blueberry. im also gunna throw some pure gooey, and some big foot x goo thunder. if you have any seeds you would like to trade for some of mine, i have plenty, so let me know

i checked on my plants this morning after the rain, and it looks like they are trooping through it. im just hoping no water gets stuck inside the buds and promotes rot. if buds rot, you can still throw them into bubble bags, right?

here is a thread on mold i found, so hopefully it helps with your questions about it. http://boards.cannabis.com/outdoor-growing/159553-battling-mold-rainy-climates.html

hope this helps,
gianca
:rastasmoke::weedpoke::rastasmoke::weedpoke:

[inbud]

Thanks for the link, gonna check it out now. I really dont know if you want to put your molded plant parts in with your bubble hash fixin's. I wouldn't, but then I have an aversion to stuff like that. Bugs, mold, ewwww, and fish slime. As for the seeds, I have only the Amethyst x Nothernlights I bred to the Purps this year. Prolly wont be real stable. I'm gonna grow some next year and call them Lavender Nights. I also have some Auto Flower (called blacks) that were bred to Bubblegum, a friend turned me on to them, and I am gonna start them next winter for a early spring crop. Have no idea what traits they will show.

Below find, the Amethyst NorthernLights called "Tuffy". She is going to be burped for ten minutes a day, three times a day, for the next week. She is a nice smooth smoking plant so far. Nothing like the stuff we dried in the dehydrator. She keeps you with an up high, and lets you down in about two hours, no hard crash, and the smoke itself is real smooth, not harsh at all. Should be even better by the end of the month.

[inbud]

She came down today and it was 44 degrees when she did, at eight a.m. She is laying on a screen downstairs. I had to trim her too much, because of all the brown leaves, that she is just a few plates full of nugs. The leaves just wouldnt come off when you tugged on them. So...I took her apart. After last weekends rain, I was worried she would start to mold with all that brown in her.

Tomarrow and the next day, the rest of the plants come down. If you look center back of the garden pic, you can see the plant I took today. One that looks like a missel kinda.

Anyone have any thots on how cool the dry area can be on the low side? How cool is too cool? I dont want mold now. My downstairs is about 60 -65 where they are.

[inbud]

Below find the pics I took the day the Purps "new clones" came down. And also some jared up AmethystNorhternLites and Big Purps Bud.

Between the two plants, I like the Big Purps Bud best. Because of the difference of the plants from the same seeds, I dont know if we will be using the seeds we pollenated this year. The darkest Purple AmNL smokes smooth but does not even favor the Amethyst I grew last year, smoke wise or looks wise. I was kinda disapointed when I smoked her. Maybe she will improve with more curing. The Sugar Granddaddy is prolly my fave so far. Tho it is a bit harsh, it packs a real good buzz. The Amethyst, I took early, is a very very nice head buzz, and going into public is not what I want to do when smoking that.
Want to say Thanks to everyone who followed this Grow 08 here at Cannibis.com. I enjoyed showing you my attempt at growing some Medical Marijauna.I may continue the journal with pics of the harvest. All but two plants are down now. One last Sugar Grandaddy Purple stands and will be comming down tomarrow or today, picture below. We also have a small Sugar Granddaddy clone that we thot we could get seeds from. But, I see no seeds breaking the bracs. We may revedge her. She is also pictured below.

[Shovelhandle]

Outstanding crop and harvest, inbud!

[inbud]

I just love showing these Purps.....These are ready to go into a bag for a day then they hit jars. The Purps so far smokes smooth. It will not glue you to the couch, but it gives a nice body high and eases the arthritis for me. It is also a nice mental high. I love the way the trichs glitter, or sparkles. I am much happier with the Purps than with the AmethystNorthernLights cross we did.
Again, thanks for looking in at this this years grow. If there is more interest, or comments i guess....I could post more pics of the finished bud, I still have two purps plants to finish and one mango that will get worked on later today. There is also one more plant in a pot, my last Sugar Granddaddy Purple. Going for the "Couch Lock" with her. She will be taken late this week or on the weekend. Let me know if you want more pics. Thanks.

[Lit Up]

I've got a question? Kind of weird one. Did you leave those little leaves on cause they were covered in trichs? I noticed those were a little more leafy than the previous pics. Or am I just trippin?

[inbud]

You are not trippin'. I did leave some of the nice purple leafs on. Because I just finished that batch up for the next stage a jar to be burbed for a few days. When I seal it up, it will be a finished trimmed bud. One more inspection before it hits storage. I kinda got jammed up with plants and had to modifiy how long I had to spend with each one. Like the Mango below, lots of light green leaves left. She is a rock hard bud. Nothing airy about her.

I also trimmed up the Mango today.....She turned out REAL stoney. I think She is my favorite so far. She smells spicy on your fingers. She makes the inside of your mouth a little numb when you first hit her. Four small hits last about an hour. I cant take those deep hits anymore. :hippy:

The Mango here is not as trimmed either yet. Im pretty stoned writing this.

[inbud]

Took the last standing plant yesterday. So....this journal is gonna wind down now.
She was the clone Sugar Granddaddy Purple that we bought last spring. She started to flower when she was put out on mothers day last may. I picked the flowers off her and let her revedge. She never got very big, but did pack on the buds. She filled three hangers to dry. I will post the results on her when she drys. That will probably be the last or close to last entry for this grow.
We have on clone of the Grandaddy left, she is very small and we think she will be revedged. Then clones taken from her when she gets big enough.
HUM.....Next year....or if I can raise enough money soon, I will get a light, and try my hand at totally growing indoor.

1. and 4. Sugar Grandaddy Purple, smells real strong like hash, probably the best we grew this season.
2. Gifts for a couple friends, sample packs of the variety we grew.
3. Mango, spicy and fruity tasting, second best high in this years harvest.

[inbud]

This is the last plant of this years harvest. Sugar Granddaddy Purple. Way cool smoke, amazed at how long we stayed high on it.

1. SGP going into jars
2. SGP, largest buds top of pic, smallest bottom of pic.

This has been so fun to grow this year. Having a Medical MJ recomendation has been the most wonderful thing I have ever gotten from a Doc, or the State. That includes tax returns and life saving surgeries.

Unless someone asks a question, or makes a comment.....
This Journal is Closed.....
The harvest is in and being cured.
Happy Trails Everyone.
:hippy:
Peace and Love

[hydrocannabis]

I wanted to make a comment.

UR grow was a huge inspiration to as a new outdoor grower.
now I am hooked. cant wate till next year so I can grow agen.


and a Q. how much did U and urs get from all thouse beautiful plants. like pound wise.

:thumbsup::hippy: have a good one.

[inbud]

Thanks Hydro for the kind words. This was my second Medical MJ grow. The first grow was kinda embarassing (last year), but I did learn a lot about revedging and clones. Also the harvest last year was some real stoney pot, even tho there was not much of it, it got us thru the winter and all the way to harvest.

This year, I estimate, because I do not have a scale....
under three pounds
and possibley around two pounds +.
Much of the purps and amethyst x northernlights, was very airy buds. I got maybe a pound of the (lighter color) Purps tho, if you add the darker purps for sure a pound. It sure is beautiful, and I am thinking it may be a Sativa Dom plant because when you smoke it, it continues to get you higher with each toke.

Now, the next move is gonna be getting a flowering light. So possibly look for a new journal in a month or so for an indoor crop. Then Hydro, I will be picking your brain about indoor growing:D. It wont be hydro, but will be indoor. Or, will be back next year with a new journal for outdoor.

Thanks again everyone who commented or enjoyed my efforts. :hippy:

hey inbud! long time no see!

i actually just came on here to ask if you wanted to come over to the breedbay.com (http://www.breedbay.co.uk/forums/index.php) forums. i moved over there, and havent been back since, lol. if you decide to join, i guarantee you wont look back :). its a place for breeders and growers to meet for info, and share genetics. if/when you come over, be sure to look me up, and give me a PM. im under the same name over there.

come check it out,
