Ok, here are some updated pics at 14 days.......Let me know what ya'll think!!!:thumbsup:

In picture 2 the front leaf on that picture seems to be curling up a bit and drooping a bit could that be a sign of overwatering? Any help appreciated!

Alright everyone here are a few more pics at day 18 of Veg. growth.....I was thinking that these plants are only like 6 in. tall but are becoming really bushy, do you think I could start to flower them whenever I am ready to considering the size of my grow space isn't very big?

In Pic 5 it seems to have been growing only single leaves, but from what i can tell from it it seems to be all one node but there are 4 leaves in diff. direction.....Does anybody know why this could be like that, because this is the only one out of them all to do this!

you can put them into flower as soon as they have a good root structure. remember they are gonna grow 1/2 to 2/3 after you put them into flower. this is strain dependent obviously. for silver haze this is 8-10 weeks. it's known height is 59-70" (150-180cm).

you should consider LSTing them if height is an issue. check the log in my sig. for info. i'm a noob, but i've got a pretty thorough log up, including LST with tons of pics. my height is only ~27". you can do a lot with a little space. i can't give you a yield number yet seeing as it is my first grow.

as far as the single leaves, this is normal. as it gets bigger the growth will pickup and you will see the nodes better. and the other fingers of the leaves will start to grow in. keep your lights withing about 1-2" of your plants for maximum effeciency.

italiano, you are saying they've only been in flower for 28 days? and from what i read 8-10 weeks is the average flower time. so your buds are gonna get bigger! IMO. just make sure to keep an eye on the trichromes!

they are beautiful my friend!

Ok so here are a few more pics of the ladies after a good watering of MG Bloom and ST! I read somewhere that ST isn't good for flowering because it inhibits the plant because of the urea in it....Any factual truths behind that? I've been using ST the whole flowering period so far and haven't had anything unusual yet other than the buds having a skunky/poopy smell, but I think it's just the hairs i'm smelling, because when I smell the actual trichomes they smell like skittles....Any idea why the actual bud would smell like that!?

headshake
02-09-2009, 06:16 PM
lookin really nice italiano! damn son. a couple of my plants have what sounds like a smiliar smell. i have been using the ST the whole time as well. i think it's just the bud you/i/we are smelling. but that's just my best guess. i would be interested in knowing the facts too.

keep up the good work!

Dude, looks great! I'm also growing silver haze too, first time on the strain but not growing. I have 2 in flower now, 1 in week 5, the second just starting week 3.

Are you planning on re-vegging? You should, get some new cuts and do it all over again!

For comparison, here's mine in week 4 of flower... my pal is telling me they're going to finish in less than 50 days. Everything I've found says 60-75, guess we'll see.. :jointsmile:

An if you have room, the Silver Haze I have starting week 3 is in a #6 pot, about 5 gallons plus. I vegged it for 3 months taking cuts.. it's frickin' huge!! A 3 1/2' bush. If you got room and the light you should increase your yield. I'm planning on about an oz off the smaller one..

Good Luck,

Farmer Rich

Nah i don't plan on re-vegging, considering this is my first real success I'm just happy with what I got, I plan on getting some seeds off the web, maybe some autoflowering lowryder for my next batch considering i only have a limited space, i figured i can get like 50 lowryder seeds and do it like that, not really sure yet though.....Any idea on some good strains....I've seen a lot of trainwreck strains also, thought maybe on trying that also!

Yours is def. a lot better than mine, I want to LST the next batch hopefully fill a 5ft. space with some decent bud......I've seen tons of LST grows and that's def. the way I need to go.....Hopefully I can get over 100g. on the next set!!!

ok you guys, well I have taken a look at the top colas of the ladies and the trichomes are mostly cloudy and some heads of the trichs are getting the amber color.....So assuming from what i've seen I would say I probably have 2 to 3 weeks before harvest (was shooting for early to mid March anyways).
My first question is regarding when everyone says flush does that mean just every time I water i'd give pH corrected water, or do I water everyday for a couple weeks with pH corrected water? Because I usually water my plants every 4-6 days and hearing people say flush makes me assume watering it everyday to clear the nutes out....? Also wouldn't watering everyday overwater the ladies?

My second question is considering I don't water but every 4-6 days, would not watering for the last week help "pre-dry" the plant?I read somewhere when you don't water for the last week before harvest that it helps speed up the drying process.

So my plans were to stop giving my plants nutes for the next 2 weeks and give them only pH corrected water and then the last week I wouldn't water it until I go to harvest....Does this suffice with anybody?!

Appreciate any help that may come my way! Also everyone who has been keeping up with my log I appreciate the feedback and words of encouragement! You all are the reason I have made it as far as I have with my grow! THANK YOU!!!!!

First 2 pics are the main colas of ladie #1

I flush with distilled water, sometimes adding dab of molasses ... I have 'heard' it draws the chemicals out better ... I don't know if it does, or not, but it doesn't hurt anything to try ... I agree with you, doesn't make a lot of sense to water, right to the end ...

I gave them probably a nice Tbs. into a 3litre bottle then gave them some regular water to run a little of the molasses well through the soil. If everything goes as planned should be ready to harvest in about 2 to 3 weeks! Will look at the trichs tomorrow morning to see how they are coming along and try to take some pictures through the scope to show everyone

I'm growing in a 6 foot wide and 8ft high closet space.....I am currently using 7 CFL's for 2 ladies. I only used the grow tubes for the seedling/rooting stage they seemed to set the plants really lovely. Then when they got old enough I upgraded to all CFL's (6500K) and then veg. them for a little over a month then threw them into flower and changed my CFL's to 2600K.

No Prob! Well it has now been 55 days into flowering today! I've been taking a look at the trichomes and most of them are milky and milky translucent with sections of amber trichs. The ratio I would have to say they are at is probably 10/90 (amber/milky) So I'm going to be looking at them everyday for the next week to decide on the harvest. So considering I'm harvesting next week, I'm going to water my ladies one last time today with distilled water and then harvest them next Monday. Hopefully I can get some last final pictures up before my harvest, but I gotta get a camera first! I will try to get them as fast as possible up, bare with me everybody!

sorry everyone i couldn't get any way of getting any pictures of it but the bud came out to a little over and ounce and 1/2 off 3 buds....I proceeded to keep more of the smaller buds growing and gave them an off lighting schedule to force them to herm. Now they are producing seeds, so I should soon have some more silver haze seeds :D Saves me from buying any...But I will soon be starting a new grow log in about a week of some Irene Kush and some more Silver Haze :rastasmoke: I've started germinating them a couple days ago and checked on them today and all 5 cracked (3 silver/2 irene) so hopefully they will sprout in the next couple days! Also, I think even if I get only one female, I sha'll take a couple of clones and cross-breed the haze with the kush! Do you think it will be stable?

WILL DO!! SO are feminized guaranteed to be female? And if not what's the percentile that it isn't? Does anybody know or could point me in the direction of an answer?!

headshake
03-23-2009, 04:30 PM
from what i understand they are 100% female. the reason is because the plants are all female. they then use different stress factors (food, ph, light, chemicals etc.) to make the plant grow male "bananas". this happens because the plant believes (and is programmed genetically to) make pollen to carry on the species. since the plants are 100% female you get 100% female seeds. you won't get near as many as you normally would, but you get all female seeds none the less.

hope this helps!

To add to that wouldn't it be keen if it got here on 4/20 :rastabanna:


GUESS WHAT EVERYBODY!!!! My beans arrived today on 4/20!!!!!! LoL I'm a psychic!!! When I proceeded to open them some of the seeds def. got crushed :wtf: I counted the ones still good and it ended up being 5:10 blueberry seeds made it and 8:10 skunkberry seeds made it! I'm okay with that considering $40USD got me 13 seeds! Besides them getting crushed a bit, it was def. stealth to me and got here 2 weeks exactly after they sent me the email of order status! Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a decent price on beans!

I have now started germinating 2 blueberry seeds in peat pods to see the viability because I'm a little concerned because some were crushed that these could be *$&#^@ up! Plus it was said that these blueberry are a bit harder to care for, so I don't want to start more than I can handle!! But be out on the look out for my new grow log I will be starting in a couple days once I get my camera back!!

If you look at some of the beginning pics, there is one particular plant that is deformed looking with the cross shape leave at the very top. Well you'll see branching coming from underneath that deformity and grew out past the original top and created those 2 main colas. So I just topped the "top" and after the branches had surpassed the original top. Funny thing is when I topped it, it didn't die like I figured, it just lost the stem right there and new growth started in the middle of it and grew a little bud.

Pic 1: when it was younger
Pic 2: same plant but you can see the branching coming from underneath the "top"
Pic 3: That plant in flower. The "Y" formation one you spoke of.

sorry everyone i couldn't get any way of getting any pictures of it but the bud came out to a little over and ounce and 1/2 off 3 buds....I proceeded to keep more of the smaller buds growing and gave them an off lighting schedule to force them to herm. Now they are producing seeds, so I should soon have some more silver haze seeds :D Saves me from buying any...But I will soon be starting a new grow log in about a week of some Irene Kush and some more Silver Haze :rastasmoke: I've started germinating them a couple days ago and checked on them today and all 5 cracked (3 silver/2 irene) so hopefully they will sprout in the next couple days! Also, I think even if I get only one female, I sha'll take a couple of clones and cross-breed the haze with the kush! Do you think it will be stable? Hopefully, cause then I can have my own strain :thumbsup:

hey i was wondering about the iren kush and if you ever got that going give me an update if you can thanks man

I started to, but I ended up not going their route considering they were a little pricey for what I wanted. So many too choose from!!! So I just went with PeakSeedsBC and got some blueberry and skunkberry, but have only started the blueberry. I will be going with attitude on my next order for sure though! No doubts about that. Probably going to try the Red Diesel by Barney's Farm. Maybe even the Violator Kush...IDK yet, I'm getting too ancy. I just need to work with what I got first! :D:D

They definitely were good, had a bit of a diesel fuel taste to it, but once cured came out to a mix b/w that and a bit fruity taste with it. Smelt like skittles before I harvested. Those SSH should treat you well when you do decide to start them! Until then I hope your Aurora's treat you well!!!

Appreciate the compliments m8. I'm sure your AK's will turn out twice as good as mine. I was happy with it, but I definitely could have done things better, but hey, it was my first. Live and learn I suppose. :jointsmile:

2 Fluorescent Grow lights 24"

Incandescent Equiv.: 75 watts
Light Output: 1,093 lumens(6500K)

2 CFL's Daylight

Incadescent Equiv: 100 watts
Light Output: 1,600 lumens (6500K)

Ok, here are some updated pics at 14 days.......Let me know what ya'll think!!!:thumbsup:

In picture 2 the front leaf on that picture seems to be curling up a bit and drooping a bit could that be a sign of overwatering? Any help appreciated!

really ur sign of overwatering would be the leaves droopin so if you can let the soil dry out till the surface looks dry but just below is damp then just wet the surface again mist sprayin the leaves is the best way to make sure your plants gettin enough moisture better dry soil than wet m8
