Time for 12/12 , little hash plant bushes :)

[jessejames12345]

Well I desided to start up a grow log for my little hash plants.

I got throught the vedge with a bit of LST and a lot of training. They ve grown into these insane little bushes . They're only about 12" but just cramed full of nodes.

This is my first indoor grow, so Im going to need all the help I can get. Ive already gotten all the knowledge I have from this site :)

We're just one week in to 12/12 now. 5 confirmed females / 4 males have already been pulled, and one plant left to show sex
(the biggest one of course )

Here are some pics

[bombdiggity]

you might need to upload them to a free image host till you have over 50 posts, FYI

This is an Unruly little bitch ;) It grew SO compact its been a headache to try and get it opened up a bit to get light to all those nodes.

bottom right is the tallest plant so far, but has still not shown sex. The plant behind (topRight) is the most mature female , she sowed pre flowers almost 2 weeks ago, and is a healthy little bush :)

[jessejames12345]

Do you guys have any sugestions to get these little bushes to fill in the grow canopy better. They have so many nodes, but are so compact Im worried they a lot of those potential buds arent going to 'see the light '

Thanks All :jointsmile:

[bombdiggity]

you could try raising your light a bit, that will cause the plants to stretch out for light. or - you could add 2700k bulbs and that will have the same effect

[jessejames12345]

yea I think im going to raise the light to help bring the temps down for sure. I suppose that would force them to strech a bit more as well.
Thanks :thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

OK I raised the light to about 22" from to tops. I all so cut a new intake hole in the side of the wall next to the plants. I dont have a dedicated fan for it yet but will soon.

I could already tell this morning in the room , the air just felt fresher and cooler. This all so brought the temp down to a steady 80*


As well, the biggest plant I've confirmed to be female as well . So thats great . 6 females !

[jessejames12345]

what do you guys think about transplanting in to 3 gallon pots. Looks like the are going to need the extra room ?

What do you think ?

[hudson88]

Hey JJ, looking good. Those pots look pretty big that they're in. I'm just over 4 weeks into vegging some WW that i've lst'd. I guess they'll be pretty similar in size to yours in a couple of weeks, mine are in 6 litre pots at the moment and i'm planning to finish in 11 litre (2.5 gallon) pots.

[jessejames12345]

Yea, I didnt want to have to transplant half way through flowering, so I went in to even bigger pots a few days ago , 3 gallon to finish in.

They definatly appreciated the new room, a few of the plants put on a good 5 inches of growth in one night, ...crazy this strech period is :)

A few of them have not really streched much yet but Im sure they will .

Ill post some new images tonight.

Thanks :thumbsup:
JJ

[jessejames12345]

well i gave the problem plant a full flush last night, Hope it helps out the leaves were still all so so curly , and it wasnt showing any signs of improvment after the replant.

Hope it gets better , it looks like it could be a great yeilder.


peace.
jj

[jessejames12345]

Heres where we're at, 10 days into 12/12 now ....

the other 2 in the back row are insane, I need to pull them down every 2 days.

[jessejames12345]

What do you all think about throwing a Screen over the canopy and scroging from this point ?

Never done it before , but read of a method from seed, where once the males are removed for certian, they are then put under a screen ?

Any opinions ?

:jointsmile:

[jessejames12345]

Im thinking about picking up a bottle of this Liquid Light stuff I keep hearing about ....

what do you think ?

[Opie Yutts]

I think that I am looking forward to the time lapse photos you'll be posting, showing exactly what happened when you applied Liquid Light. (please)

Your plants are certainly looking better now than at the beginning of this thread. They used to look sad and droopy, not anymore. Keeping your grow in the low 80s and putting the plant in larger pots are two huge steps in the right direction.

A screen will help, no doubt. I use screens and wouldn't want it any other way. Not only do they help to support the branches when they get heavy, but they help to spread out the buds so that light can get to everything instead of just the top of the canopy. Here's my latest screen grow: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-growing/140716-lsttt-low-stress-twisty-tie-training.html

[jessejames12345]

Do you this I'll need the Penetrator as well, thats another $50 ...??

Your thread is what got me excited about this liquid light stuff. Since I'm almost 2 weeks into flower, how long into flower have you safely applied it ?


And yea Im definatly going to go with the screen this weekend, what do you sugest for screen material ?


Thanks :)

[Opie Yutts]

Well I hope it's not too late, but whatever you do, don't use common poultry netting, or chicken wire. I like the fencing or that has 2x3 inch holes much better. Poultry netting has 1x1.5 inch holes, and the buds don't always fit through them. It also has hundreds of little poking wires, ever ready to scratch you.

I know it's expensive, but Penetrator is the key. Some say it's more important than the Liquid Light. I use them at half strength, which seems to be more than plenty, and of course that cuts down on cost.

I've used it as late as week 5 of flowering. Just depends on humidity and stuff. Don't let buds grow around moisture.

[jessejames12345]

well my small little local hydro store dosent carry liquid light :( He said they could order it , but would take a few weeks, by that point Ill be too far into flowering to apply I think ...SORRY OPIE

The screen didnt work out either, I spent half the day yesterday making one with a frame and some gardners twine. I was pretty proud of it :jointsmile:

The plants are just far to compact already though, I placed the screen over the garden, and there was just NO room at all ..just to awkward at this stage I think ...

SO after 2 dissapintments, I made a bunch of Hooks and trained the crap out of them last night :) It actually filled in the grow space very well, and I can still manouver around the plants, or remove them for watering/ flushing if I need.

http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/3898/0510082211ie8.th.jpg (http://img395.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0510082211ie8.jpg)

These are the hooks I made, just bamboo squewers with coat hanger hooks taped to the end. They ended up working GREAT for training and controling the plants.

very nice grow ya got going on there, jes.

[jessejames12345]

Thanks :) . Im looking forward to seeing how they respond to this latest training. I wouldnt be anywhere without the wealth of knowledge from this site.

They are taking well to the training, looks almost like a scrog ....but i need more hooks ;)

Im thinking about thining out the leaves a bit to open things up ...what do you think ?

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/5213/0512082015ug3.th.jpg (http://img524.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0512082015ug3.jpg)

[hudson88]

Looking real good JJ, like you said the canopy almost looks like a scrog. Pruning the plants seems to be effective in improving yield from what I've read, just started doing a little the last couple of days (I've just started 12/12) I've cut off the bottom growing shoots that aren't gonna get much light and some of the lower leaves that are looking pretty dead.

[Opie Yutts]

I would not cut anything off your plants. I never do unless there is a leaf shading a bud, and I just can't bend or tie it out of the way. Another option is to top, but you only do this if you want more bud sites, and shorter, bushier plants. Seems like you already have enough bud sites. If you have more, they will be smaller and yield about the same.

I'm glad you found something that works for you, but I'm sad you have to make more skewers. From your pictures I don't see why a screen wouldn't work, then you could make a nice even carpet of buds and get the most from your lights. For watering the plants in the back, you could have a funnel attached to some tubing. Once the plants grow around the screen you can't really take them out, but this has never been a problem for me.

[jessejames12345]

Thanks, I do enjoy being hands on with them and using the stakes, but its a lot of work ;)

I 've pulled down and opened up more of the branches to light, how long should I continue to stake the branches down ?

Is there a point when it becomes counter productive ? In looking back at my past photos, I think Ive gone from about 15-20 bud sites exposed to direct light to over 100, will all these buds still develop ?

Im sure Ill be using a screen in my future grows though, who knows I might try and place this one I built in there again this weekend :jointsmile:

[Opie Yutts]

I 've pulled down and opened up more of the branches to light, how long should I continue to stake the branches down ?
It's up to you, but the longer you veg the more you'll yield. I like to fill in my screen as much as possible, or in your case I'd like to fill up the canopy area as much as possible, which looks like you've pretty much done. I try to fill in my screen about 75% before switching to flower mode. There is no one right way to do it. It's just what works for you. Eventually there will be no more room for any new shoots. Remember that once you switch to flowering, a plant can double or triple in size.

Is there a point when it becomes counter productive ?
Yes, it would be counterproductive if you already have a thick even mat of canopy, and there would be no place for any new nodes, or shoots. It would also be counterproductive after a few weeks into budding. Once she starts budding up good, you should stop bending or tying down branches.

I think Ive gone from about 15-20 bud sites exposed to direct light to over 100, will all these buds still develop ?
That's the idea, expose more of the plant to the light and you'll get more bud sites. Id say 100 is probably enough. You can make as many as you want, but the more there are the smaller they'll end up. All bud sites exposed to light will develop, but the ones lower down on a stem develop slower and end up smaller than the ones at the top.

[jessejames12345]

Thanks for the awnsers Opie .

I figure since Im now in to about 2 weeks budding, and the canpoys lookin good, Im going to stop heavy training and focus on keeping the foliage out of the way ( not cut , yet ;)

Ill take more images this weekend with progress.

heres where we 're at as of today. Had a bit of an accident this morning and left the incand. light bulb on in the room for a few extra hours.....:wtf:

So i hope i didnt fuck everything up, this is the frst time i've ever interupted the light cycle, and it was only a 60w incand bulb at least 8' from the plants.

anyways, they have taken to to the training well and are budding up good now :)

[jessejames12345]

What do you all think about adding a few warm CFLS in with the plants to get light to the underside ?

[bombdiggity]

i think that sounds like a great idea. looking great by the way

[jessejames12345]

hey all ,

just about to turn the lights on , thought Id post some new pics tonight,

Tonight is 28 days in flowering. I pulled a lot of the stakes and moved some things around to give the plants more room it was getting pretty crowded.

thanks for the support :)

[KingKronic420]

where are the pics!!

those plants look great so far!

[jessejames12345]

here ya go ;)

[attachment=o189157]
the lite green one in front row right has been a problem for a while now, I cant figure out how to make her as healty as her sis's.

I flushed her last night and she seems a bit happier...don't know ..?

[attachment=o189158]
these plants are stocky little fu*kers, the buds are getting thick already just because the distance between the nodes was SO small, like 1/4 " in a few places !


[attachment=o189159]



[attachment=o189160]

Thats it for now, looks like another good 4 weeks of budding for sure....:)

[hydrocannabis]

holy moly bro. that shit looks kick ass.

[jessejames12345]

:thumbsup: thanks man, although i really cant take much of the credit, being that this is my first indoor grow, Ive made all the mistakes in the book ;) The knowledge on this site has got me this far

Im happy to see them doing so well after the hell i've put them through, gotta give props to the seed company here , mighty mite seeds, I think they are based in canada. Stinky just finished a grow with their Donkey dick strain, they are very harty for sure :)

[hatch]

Say Bro, Don't Sale Yourself Short, You Are Doing A Great Job!!!..........Your Plant's Are Healthy, & Loving Life..:thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

a'ight fair enough ....Im loving life right now too, just smoked some killer Haze :jointsmile:

Thanks man :)

[bombdiggity]

Dude your plants are looking good.. you gotta give urself more credit!

Looks like our grows are at the same stage. Today is 26 for me so just shy of 4 weeks.

I'll be posting pics today when the lights come on.. in about 30 minutes haha

[jessejames12345]

coolio.. ,ill come over and check them out :)

Thanks !

[hudson88]

Yeah your gardens looking sweet jesse, cant wait to see them really fill out! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Good growing, JJ really!
Should have a bumper crop , by golly.

[jessejames12345]

Thanks Shov :thumbsup:

I hope to get a couple ounces of each plant, but that might be wishful thinking ;) What you think ? I know thats a hard question to awnser .....but this is my fisrt grow so i really have no idea.

Its crazy the differences in the plants, hard to beleive they are all the same strain.
Some are so short and compact , yet 2 of them are so long if I wouldent have lst'd they'd probly be 3' tall :wtf:

[jessejames12345]

Well I ended up having to flush 2 of the plants last night, They are looking pretty sick to me , I sure hope they come out of it .

Ill post some more pics tonight :)

[jessejames12345]

yea title says it all, they got F*ed up !


[attachment=o189989]

[attachment=o189990]

[attachment=o189992]

[jessejames12345]

I Dont know WHAT happened, these 2 always showed a few yellow leaves, and lamness, but holy shit one week and they look like they got the shit beat out 'em.

Anyways, I gave a flush to these 2, 3 nights ago, and i GUESS they look better, but I dont know !

im tempted to RE-Plant them , WITH TOTALY NEW SOIL MR. MI'AGI STYLE !! , ..who knows , maybe something funky fell in the soil ??? , but damn the leaves are REALLY bad , and they looked good a few weeks ago :(

anyways, I'm gonna pull all 'em out tonight for a check over, and take some more detailed pics....


ANY IDEAS ABOUT THE SICKO's ???:cool:



ill post more indiviual pics later, its gardening night :jointsmile:

[hydrocannabis]

now thats the wat to grow. looken damm nice. I wish that was mine.:thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

Thanks man , actually nice to hear , cause Im so busy OBSESSING over these fucked up leaves on the sick 2, ...sometimes forgette to notice how good the others are lookin :thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

[attachment=o190098]

hash plant 1

THis is a great little plant, Big fat white pistols still shooting out, seems like a few of the plants are starting to go in too a second big flower BURST :)

[attachment=o190099]

hash plant 2

This is one of the sicko's, her leaves are pretty yellow and spotted with brown. I flushed her a few days ago , and new growth seems to be OK , but damn did she take a shit kicking ;)

[attachment=o190100]

hash plant 3

Another great little bush, gong to be a bouquet o' bud

[attachment=o190101]

hash plant 4

The other sick one, shes got it the worst. This plants always been the MOST sensitive to problems, a little midget, but at least the buds are filling in nicley

[attachment=o190102]

hash plant 5

This things insane, thats ONE plant. Im excited about her, so many top notch buds growing in :)

[jessejames12345]

[attachment=o190103]

hash plant 6

not to be forgotten , this things a BEAST, the pistols are huge and buds are starting to grow out of buds at this point.

By far the one of the strongest :)


[attachment=o190104]
[attachment=o190105]

everyone at home :)

[hydrocannabis]

yumm yumm looking.

[jessejames12345]

SO how much longer you all think they got to go, I'm at about 40 days flowering right now.

I hope they still have at least 2 weeks left in them , i really want to see some of these buds get bigger :)

The small sick plant seems to really be budding SLOWWW, maybe she will pick up again , I hope.

Peace

JJ

[jessejames12345]

OK guys and gals well bad news !!


Found NANNERS LAST NIGHT :( Only a few , on 2 of the plants .

I picked them all off , and didnt notice any yellow pollen, but DID find and remove a few pre-me seeds :(

SO What now !!

The worst is that this happened to 2 of the NICEST plants, in the fattest of buds :(

Of course the sickos are fine :wtf:

what should i do here now Ive got 2-3 weeks left to finish I think

THANKS
JJ

[Shovelhandle]

Where did you get these plant/seeds? Hermie isn't good. I had one in my grow, but I half expected that. I isolated the plant from the grow so I wouldn't seed up any of the others.

[jessejames12345]

hey man , yea I got 'em from a local seed seller, i THINK i might have fucked up here

I wasnt running a timer on my light, just pluging and unpluging at the 'right' time....well, might hav missed that time by 15 - 30 minutes every now and then,

MAJOR NEWB MISTAKE !!!! :mad:

Anyways, Ive got them on timer now, and plucked off the few male flowers there where ( only 5 - 10 between both hem'd plants ), soooooo im just going to keep going checking every day and i hope my fixing the light schedual properly will prevent any more from forming, I hope....

THanks for the support i REALLY appreciate it, I'll keep you all posted with some new pics tonight perhaps ;)

[hydrocannabis]

well I know how pissed off u must feel about it. cuz I have had some of my plants in the past grow male nanners in mid flower.

and most ofem I plucked off and I only ended up with a few few seeds.

well Im glad that we can all give ya some support.
and good luck on not getting to many seeds.

[jessejames12345]

this is one of the healthy girls, NO nanns on her :thumbsup:





Found a few nanns on this girl, but no more yet, ...main cola on hers around 3 inchs wide, and pistils shooting out everywhere.....nooo moreee nanners ........

And this is #4, shes a Beast as well...soo, THe beast ??

[bluntmaster430]

yo man dont worry about the 10-15 min here and there. i have done it in the past too. sometimes theres just nothing that can be done. even timers fail (trust me on that one).

i would say likely it was genetic. but who can tell.
i had northern lights on my last grow only one made it untill i realized that my water softener was killing them. and this time i got sativa seeds some how (breeder mix up)

all of us noobs are learning, but i think your plants look great.

[jessejames12345]

Yup thats right, she was looking at me wrong this morning ( and i'm out of smoke ;)

7 weeks flowering, mostly cloudy, no amber. Could have ripened another week probly but woundent have made that much difference. Im happy to have a bit from this crop at a few different stages of finish.

HP4 = 40 grams wet. not too bad from a plant that was only 11" tall and sick her entire existence ;)
quick dry bud test was kinda heady , with a nice body buzz, pretty good :hippy:

[attachment=o191136]


this was by far the smallest plant , 1/2 to 1/3 the size of the others :wtf:

[Shovelhandle]

Nice looking plants. Though I have the opposite where I don't think that I have enough fan leaves.

[jessejames12345]

Yea they were bushy fuckers. I think the High heat stunted them a bit . wish they would have streched out more, more room for buds that way ;)

Thanks for stopin bye:thumbsup::jointsmile:

[Shovelhandle]

nothing wrong with healthy full figured females. Yes.

Shov

[jessejames12345]

a little junk in the trunk never hurt nobody ;):hippy:

[jessejames12345]

ok, photos...yea well, 8 weeks this weekend, and MOSTLY clear trics, probably 1/2 cloudy....harvested the midget and been smokin her :jointsmile:, probly a little pre-me now that im looking closly at the others.

so I have this whole Anxiety problem , thats what i smoke for, so, Im thinking I want to leave them longer, yes ?

1St crop and all. ...dont want no crazy heady shit thats gonna keep me up all night :stoned:

[jessejames12345]

[attachment=o191537]

heres everybody. Funny they actualy look big at this angle ;)

[attachment=o191538]

The beast. Starting to go DARK purple in the leaves, almost Black , at the tips, Pink hairs, purple hairs....crazy.

[attachment=o191539]
SheMale - the X Hermi, havent found a nanner on her since though.

[attachment=o191540]
The Hog ;) ...new pistols poping out all over, thicker then ever.

I reallyyy wish I had a better camera ,trics dont show at ALL on this thing...or maybe a steadier hand ;)

[jessejames12345]

I have a silly question , can a plant have resin, but less trics showing ? . One of the plants isnt really frosed up like the others , but is just sticky to the touch and stinky !..NEWB question I know...cant seem to find a definative awnser though ...

[hydrocannabis]

hey wsup. there still looking great. I would leave them to flower.
I had to let my last crop go till 13 weeks so I could get some amber trich.
my 2 cents.

[Shovelhandle]

Lots of deception judging weed by looks. We know that hairs, crystals/trics, sticky and smell are attractive but the proof is in the smoke, baby.

jessejames12345! Dude, I have to take you at your word that you are a newbie, because the pictures of your ladies show me you know what you are doing! Those are some really sweet lookin' ladies! I would let them continue developing, if I were you, especially now that you have harvested the runt to provide you a bit of smoke. (Your comment about the midget lookin' at you funny, so you had to cut her down gave me a good laugh!)

I'm like you, I can't really see the trichs very well on my lil' plant. I've been thinking of investing in some form of magnifier - a cheaper jeweler's loupe or something; but, if you can put something off until tomorrow, I'm all for it, so I haven't gotten around to it just yet.

Your future updates and smoke reports should be most excellent! I'm looking forward to checking back in on this grow, and am sorry I have only just discovered it - but, it looks like I found it at the best stage!

so if you dont mind me asking.. whats the height of you hash plants? and those are gonna be some KILLER WEED! make you WALK LIKE FRANKENSTINE! lol

[jessejames12345]

Hey all , thanks for the replys :)

Plants are about 14 - 24 " IN HEIGHT, but a few would be about 4' without the lst ;)

Its strange, definatly 2 very different grow patterns. 2 Are long and branchy. 3 are Short and FAT. One has calyx stacked like 8 high , look like crazy little bud fingers coming out of the top colas...never seen that before...one is going DARK purple and all kinds of crazy colors on the sugar leaves..anyways

smoke so far is good, hits you in the head pretty hard , but leaves you with a smile on your face :D ...and thats just off some pre-me bottom buds ive been picking,.. the good buds are pretty tric'd up now.

I have only 2 weeks left to compleate this grow, and be out.:thumbsup:


So heres my big question.

option 1
only a few days left of light, and then on to 36hours dark and choppy chop, hang for a week and be done

or , option 2
on lights for another week and 1/2 , 24 hours dark and then chop and brown bag dry, and out the door.

open to opinions :hippy:

[jakezking]

Drying curing is becoming an interest of mine, as my plant nears her end days. I, like you, am open to options at this point. Since it sounds like your plants are really beginning to show their trichs, I'd be interested in leaving them in flower a bit longer, such as set forth in your option 2. I just read in Shov's July 4th thread about the 36 hours of darkness prior to harvest, and think I will employ this method, so I would combine that part of your option 1 with your option 2. I think I'm also going with the hang to dry for a bit, then to the paper bags, then to glass jars to burp the remaining moisture out.

So, as far as your request for opinions, I would draw some from both options, and add the glass jars for final curing - but, such opinion is not based upon actual experience, so I'm certain you'll want to wait for additional input.

Good luck, JJ!

[jessejames12345]

Well the big move came along faster then I thought ;) So Harvest happened, after 36 hours dark.

I would have LOVED to leave them another week, maybe more, but always next time. Gotta know when to hold 'n fold :jointsmile:

Anyways, No #'s or pics yet, but soon.

AS-WELL I discovered that 1 of the plants is actually a strain called Diablo indica. She's the one that went all crazy colors on me.

The HP's smell of heavy fuel, the Diablo smells more citrus.

Peace
JJ:hippy:

Can't wait to see the pix.....nice work m8....:thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

Thanks all, I'll try and get some pics of the harvest once they are all dryed and pretty :)

Most of this grow is going away to friends and family. I give most to my father, he has ALOT of daily chronic pain, Framing houses for 45 years 'll do that to a man ;), and my brother who deals with pacriatitis on a daily basis.

BUT I'll be keeping a bit of the select :jointsmile:

As well, what turned out to be the Indica Diablo, ...well I pulled about 10 seeds out of her ,... one branch got hit with the hermi pollen i guess.

So I've got Hash plant / Diablo indica getting ready for my next grow. Going to set up a little hydro cabinet I think , sounds like fun:)

Thanks for all the kind words and help in this grow to everyone, Im suprized they made it, and looks like its going to be some quality smoke too, Im hoping for 8 oz dry, but think thats a bit optimistic. :jointsmile: not to bad for my first though :hippy:

[bluntpasser]
