MonkeyBone's Second CFL grow!

[MonkeyBone]

Last year I was beginning my introduction to indoor cultivation. Having learn from mistakes and good things, I feel ready to start all over again!

Some of you remember me for my 1st grow here: http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/165377-monkeybones-pornstars-green.html.

I had 2 plants, unknown strain. One had a nute prob and the other was fantastic. The nute prob one turned hermi and fertilized herself. And I fertilized 1 bud of the other to combine the 2.

So this grow here will be of 1 seed of the previous 2 mixed together!

Starting from seed, with CFLs.

I will plant the seed right when I'll post this. No germination in paperbag or whatever. And I will plant it in her final pot. No transplantation, no hassles.

4 gallon pot with potting soil, vermiculite, perlite and peat moss. Nutes will be same as last grow.Liquid bio nutes!

So this is a restart!!!!

:thumbsup:

[VapedG13]

Bro you hit it with hermie pollin its gunna hermie on you:( Sorry man....on the bright side... It will be a female seed :thumbsup:

Get this stuff and use it when you start to flower Dutch Master Reverse from Growco Indoor Garden Supply (http://www.4hydroponics.com/nutrients/reverse.asp)

I'm along for the ride Bro....I liked your last grow :hippy:

[MonkeyBone]

Hey Vaped!

Well, for the hermi thing, one of my fellow friend grower tried a seed from the same batch that I give him. the plant is now in advanced flowering stage showing brown hairs already. No sign of hermi at all. It's really a mix of the 2 plants I had!

Here are pics of the plant!

:thumbsup:

[VapedG13]

Right on man....I was just giving a heads up....normally you have a 75% chance of a unstable seed when you use the pollin from a hermie.

I took a clone of a plant that went hermie in flower and the clone went hermie too weird thing was I didnt see the sacks until I harvested only polinated some of the lower inner buds.


Good luck with the grow Bro:hippy:

[Loafyboy]

My bet is that the nute problem stressed it out on the first grow and that caused it to hermie, and your friend had kept his stress free. It may well be that a small amount of stress may cause it to hermie though, so worth keeping Dutch Master Reverse in mind still!

:rasta:

[MonkeyBone]

I won't have any nute problems on this grow, but is there any inconvenience to plant the seed right into a big pot?

In nature, in the woods, hey forest is a giant pot!

[MonkeyBone]

Will plant seed in a plastic glass, then move on for the 4 gallon pot. Will put some plastic wrap over the glass to keep moisture in. Easier this way.

:thumbsup:

[MonkeyBone]

So I planted the seed 3 days ago and.....Here it is!

Newborn!
[attachment=o229414]
Primary set-up: 2x 42w 6500k cfls
[attachment=o229415]

It will be on a 20/4 schedule for about 2 weeks. Then I will repot it in it's final pot. And then it will be on a 18/6 schedule.


:thumbsup:

[KillerBudG]

yo monkey great to see you back for another go a bout.:thumbsup: I would consider that you transplant it from that cup to a 1.5 - 2 gal. pot. Then throw it into the 4 gallon right before you flip ya light. you don't wanna give it to big of area otherwise the plant will spend more energy on root development. So you are just gonna do 1 plant.? I enjoyed your last grow man will differently watch this one. You should do another plant to, you might get another alien looking one again.:jointsmile: Good luck tho bro. I also wanna say added bonus with 2 plants is if one does not turn out well at least your time won't be a total wast you will have another smoke to enjoy.

Hey KillerBudG!

Unfortunately, the little buddy died. Strangled by his seed's shell. So I started 3 beans this evening. If I see the shell on top of it and it won't come off, I will do a little operation.

And I don'T have the place this year for 2 plants. I was given a small freezer and the only place I found to put it is in the "grow" closet. Take 1/2 the space. So it will only be 1 plant.

I wish that at least 1 of the 3 beans will sprout without too much effort this time!

I will let them sit in humidity (plastic wrap over the red glass) as long as I see the first 2 leaves appear.


And to end with, the oddly shaped secondary I had last year, I have it here in a jar!!! Weigh 3.2 grams! I also have the very top bud of the same plant weighing ~3gs.

Hope that it will be as interesting as last year!

Thanks for subbin! I will have 1 before the end of this week!! Hope so!

:thumbsup:

Day 3
[attachment=o229731]
[attachment=o229732]

Do you think LST and FIM will increase yield even if I put CFLs all around it? Like I did last year?


:thumbsup:

[bonedaddy420]

I would suggest doing it, if not for any other reason than keeping the height at a minimum. They are both easy to do, any the results have been proven. With that said, do what makes YOU happy. If you don't feel comfortable FIM'ing, try LST, it is simple and you might just like the results:)

[MonkeyBone]

For LST is it best to use a piece of string (in fabric) or metal wire?

Height is not an issue, last plants measures 40" and 48" tall.

[deleafer2220]

IMHO peice of yarn should be sufficient enough.. :rastasmoke:

[MonkeyBone]

LOL

My girlfriend's hairs?:stoned:

:thumbsup:

[deleafer2220]

Don't think she would want us knowing she has yarn for hair..but like i said simple yarn string would work...cheap and easy to work with :thumbsup:

[KillerBudG]

You said you poped 3 of them. I say lst 1 fim the other 1 then fim and lst the last one. Then pick the 1 you like the most, as long as its not a male.:thumbsup::jointsmile: Surely you got room to start the 3,right.?:D

1 of 3 have popped out.

And I got room for only one

It's a female for sure, no doubt about it! Herm on Female = Female!

As for today! It grows!

Day 4
[attachment=o229863]
[attachment=o229864]

For this grow, I will post at least 2 pics of the plant every day. Good quality pics and a lot of them. I only got 1 plant, but I will be the "Log with most pics!"

Have fun looking at them!

[EnhAnceD]

Looking good. CFLs deffinitly work. I got near 3 oz from my first grow. What a learning experience that was. Ill be keeping an eye. Im currently havin a newborn seedling problem, so its nice to watch urs and compare, Im odly at ease right now lol, Im getting very impatient haha.

3 oz is respectable! Got similar results from my very first grow last year!

Day 5!
[attachment=o229951]
[attachment=o229952]

First leaves are growing fast! Thanks to 2x 42w 6500k cfls! 5700 lumens total for tiny baby girl! I'll put more light when she'll get bigger, don'T want to burn her!

:thumbsup:

[EnhAnceD]

ya man, my first grow, i was so patient with watering and I thought I got that down pat pretty quick and easy, but this time around I dunno, I did some things a little different and I wish I hadnt just so I could better try and figure out whats wrong. Eitherway I threw both of the ones I had troubles with in a 24/0 lighting cub with my bubble cloner. I gently removed the dirt around the one that just looked like crap and found that the whole plant, root an all was an inch. Pretty much no roots, so i used a spray bottle n cleaned the part where roots should be, then let it sit in a rooting hormone for 5 mins, then changed the soil so it wouldnt be wet and only time will tell. Do you plan on growing these straight threw or are you going to take cuttings for clones.

I will try to LST this one out. And I will have a total of 30 000 lumens (all around the plant) for flowering this baby. I think it will turn out great!

if so, copy and paste this, just add the brackets [ at the beginning and ] at the end.

are you just pasting in your url?

if so, try the "insert link" button (the earth with the chain links). then paste the url in the box, then it will put it in the form, sometimes the highlighted text doesn't need changed. if it does you can write what you want between the closing/opening brackets.

hope i just didn't confuse your worse!


-shake

[EnhAnceD]

ya I just fooled around with it until it worked lol. Basically what shake said hahaha, gogogogogo. Ya bro, 30000 lumens is a lot of light. I had prolly about 30000lumens in my first cfl grow, just on one plant. I yielded 3 oz which was really nice, but thats the porblem with cfls, they dont really penetrate b.c the light strength is week already and as it travels it becomes even more week. I had to have my lights abuot 1-3 inches from the plant, basically totally surrounding the plant as if you see in the pics it had the main cola up high and alot of side bud branches half way down, that was a pain in the ass. I had about 300w of elictricity, and I can say that is why cfl growing works, and on a budget go for it, although lol I did spent like 10bucks pert 42w cfl and I had 8 PLus like 10 26watt 2700k bulbs and 8 6500k bulbs so its not reallly cheep, but you can just go out and get more light as you need apposed to spendin the money upgront on hps of mh. Iv been reading alot about light, and pretty much, you can be like oohhh these lights give out these amounts of lights, but really plants dont work on lumens lol. Its nice to know that when you have alot of them your plants will do well, but lumens was designed for humans to measure light. You should read up on your lights and ways to optimize your lighting b.c from what Iv read you may end up spending more per watt/lumen w.e than you think esp if you pay your own hydro bill. Take some time and educate yourslef cfl vs hps or i dunno. I found this neet link on hightimes L.E.D. GROW LIGHTS (http://hightimes.com/microsites/led/comparison.inc.php) Read threw that. Based on this plus many youtube videos, links, other forums that L.E.D lighting will be the future of growing cannabis. Best of luck bro and if you have questions Id be glad to help. I put a bunch of pics of my light setup in my first log.

[MonkeyBone]

headshake, I tried everything. Dosen't want to work for me. So the urls in my sig will remain plain and untasty.

enhanced, I know an HPS be a must have. When the cfls will be all burnt out, I will maybe purschase an HPS.
But not before having my house...

BIGGER! I COMMAND YOU!


:thumbsup:

[headshake]

looking good. slow but steady. i always noticed my plants seemed to lag at the beginning of veg with the CFLs.

i guess part of it has to do with the physyology of a plant. if a plant has to have leaves to photosynthesize, then growth should be exponential as the plant gains more of them, if all factors for growth are met.

sorry, random thought.

keep up the good work my friend!

headshake, plant grows at a fantastic pace, IMO. For sure under MH or HPS it will explode but for myself it's enough for now. I'm always thrilled to look at it when I wake up of when I come home from work. That's the pleasure of it!

So far the plant is growing very strong, great color, big leaves. Realy fun to come back from work and see how big it is!

I changed schedule to 18/6...little bit too hot there when door is closed.

I will flip them on when I'll see some preflowers!! But now all it needs is getting bigger!

:thumbsup::hippy::D:stoned:


Yo don't forget about that.:D. But i have been told lstin and that can help to increase yield. Truthfully I don't believe it will hurt to try one or the other if not both maybe add 1 or 2 weeks more veg time but could be wourth the extra days.

~One~:rastasmoke:
~BudG~:rastasmoke::rastasmoke:

Thanks for all your replys!

First, I think I won't doin any fim or lst or whatever. I liked the huge big cola of Peachez last year. And I want to get a bigger one this year!

KillerBudG, yeah maybe couple weeks more veg can do the trick!

Day 20!

I have 4x 42w 6500k + 4x 26w 6500k cfls. About 9400 lumens total on 1 plant

Little temp problem 2d. 94f was the highest temp recorded. So I unplugged the freezer that sits there. Anyway winter is coming so I won't use it.

Temps are ok now. Peaks at 88f. Lows are ~73f.

And it will lower since winter is coming!! Thats's why I don't grow in summer!

No nutes for now and since it has the Anetta genes...I will only nute it if she begs for it. I don't thinks she needs any. Ring a bell if it needs some!!

[attachment=o231255][attachment=o231256]

[psychodelic]

MB, looks great so far! I can't believe it's that big in less than 4 weeks with only CFLs. I've done a couple CFL grows (almost always screw it up at some point or another though), and I don't get that kind of growth.

I would advise to LST that baby. She's growing so fast that if you start now, you could get a 2' X 2' SCROG from just that one plant! If LST isn't your thing, that's cool. She's doing great now without nutes, I personally wouldn't start now (but that's cuz I'd screw it up). If you wait until halfway through flower and give her a few waterings with 0-30-10, there's no telling what your yield could be!

Sending some good vibes to your plant. :hippy: What's her name?

[KillerBudG]

Yo Monkey looking might fine, Try to top a secondary growth and lst the top. 1 lst would not hurt:dance::twocents: I don't know maybe I am just :beatdeadhorse: on this. Its cool tho I know you will have mighty fine yield either way you go about it.:thumbsup:

I think I've already suffered enough. My cats knocked over a lamp onto all three of my plants and snapped the stems. I tried to tape them up to heal, but there were only a few strings still attached, and the leaves were turning brown after a few days. It was gonna be my grow yet! But I somehow always manage to screw it up.

Dude that plant is nuts. That's gonna be so sick in full flower.

[bonedaddy420]

Seriously you are gonna veg for another month and a half?? That thing is gonna be a monster when its done!!

Thanks man! It's a pleasure to share!


Seriously you are gonna veg for another month and a half?? That thing is gonna be a monster when its done!!

Yeah dude! My goal is 4 ounces. More than 2 months of veg + at least 3 months of flowering.

Day 34! Question is, Does it need to be nuted? New leaves a bit yellow? Or are they just new leaves? :P Or am I daltonian?

[psychodelic]

Does it need to be nuted? New leaves a bit yellow? Or are they just new leaves?

I think the problem you are going to run into is that, yes, the higher parts of the plant will keep growing and flourish, but the lower areas are not getting nearly enough light. The fan leaves are probably going to start yellowing because they aren't being used.

Any way you could get a couple CFLs to hang down on the side of the plant to give light to the lower growth? That's my only suggestion, since you said you definitely didn't want to LST.

I use CFLs because they are cheap and work great if you use them right. The problem with them is they lose a lot of light as the fan leaves get farther away from the bulbs. That's what I believe is happening with yours.

Plant is surrounded by lights dude. I'll add 2 more 26w tomorrow since it grows bigger and I need to redo the setup. So 4x 42w on top and 6x 26w around it. And fan leaves always seems to be the first ones to yellow and fall. It will generate more energy to the top of the plant! and new growth!

I was asking 'cause I saw the newlyborn leaves a bit yellowish but I was a bit drunk I think.


So here's day 35!

Could be low on Nitrogen (N)... I've read that Nitrogen deficiencies will usually manifest as yellowing leaves that start at the bottom and slowly work upwards. Maybe on your next couple of waters, add some nutes with slightly higher N ratio, but start slow (like 1/4 strength, or 1/8 strength).

[MonkeyBone]

Broke a cfl, almost dropped it on Catalina...So I bought some new cfls!

Total CFL count: 4x 42w 6500k + 9x 26w 6500k \\ Total lumens output:25800

On only 1 plant!!

CFL crazyness..It's idiot bright in there..Day 36!!

Yo Monkey, Been a min since I dropped in. I think you should pull some of the bottom branches out some, So more light will penetrate inside that soon to be monster bush. I bet that she is gonna be one hell of a smoke. Not sure what your finance situation is, but if I was doing Cfls I would try to get two 43w at the bottom also. But your the cfl guy so you know better than I do, As I am just here to watch you produce the offspring of the alien monster Chick.!... Ya I know its more than likely not gonna happen but hey we can hope it does right.:D Hmm you say 4oz, I hope I can manage that since my bitch been vegging for umm.... 3 months or so lol actually forgot. Not really to sure tho since its in a 1.6gal pot lol and least 3ft tall but its healthy and doing fine. I'm throw her in a 3.5-4.7 gal. bucket soon then flower.! Do you think its possibly that i would get 4oz even tho I am using a Mh for flower, Ill try to get some cfls to supplement but im not sure.:jointsmile:

No alien for this year! But oh boy this plant is big compared to those I had last year.No more cfl for veg!! Heat issues!!! And money is always an issue.I think I haven't give her enough nitrogen, and she already drank all the water! So tomorrow i'll give her more!

[deleafer2220]

Have you considered Lollipopping her ? Might help with lower light and air flow to help her stay cool ?

[psychodelic]

I agree that lollipopping might be a good idea. I mentioned to MB a few weeks ago that the light wasn't penetrating to the lower parts of the plant, which I believe is the reason the bottom of the plant is yellowing.

I would again suggest getting a few of the CFLs to hang down around the sides of the plant (I think MB misunderstood when I said it before). There are plenty of lights for the canopy, but the plant is going to spend too much energy on the shaded growth/shoots.

If you don't want to hang CFLs differently, you could definitely lollipop the bottom 1/5 of the plant (many recommend doing the bottom 1/3, but I think that's too much, especially for this beautiful plant) :thumbsup:

But MB has also emphasized doing the grow w/o advanced techniques, and is definitely proving that keeping it simple can have tremendous results.

Keep the pictures coming! :thumbsup: I was bummed I didn't get to see the new growth yesterday when the site was down.

[KillerBudG]

Looking good M.B, Keep it up will be a monster plant in no time.:thumbsup: What nutes you gonna use on her in bloom.?

~One~:rastasmoke:
~BudG~:rastasmoke::rastasmoke:

[MonkeyBone]

WOW!

Ok first, what is lollipop?

Secundo, Heat is an issue because I have to close the door of the closet while i'm out for work, so lights are on while i'm not there to open the door, building some heat. 14 cfls in an 5x5 closet...do the maths, pretty substancial heat going on there.

More cfl? man there are cfls all around her, fixed to the walls on the side of the plant. I can't physically put more. (I'll post pics of the light today)

Bloom nutes? Same as last year! I'll continue with my nature's grow set of nutes and Big Bud bloom nutes! Search a bit in my last year's grow log and you'll see pictures of what I used.

Yellowing is normal at this stage, lower leaves (meaning first leaves to appear in plants life) are useless now because the plant have so many leaves higher!

Even in nature some branches or leaves that are lower just fall off! Energy spent on those leaves are energy lost.

I won't wright a novel on that, but anyway i'm pretty sure my little plant is as happy as a clown giving birth!

Pics on next post!

Thanks all very much for stopping by!

Just by trimming off the dead you are making your grow area safer in terms of mold etc. By leaving the remaining part of the leaf after trimming the dead off you are leaving the plant to digest it as food. if the dead spots are spreading then were talking another whole can of worms.... nice pics tho things are looking good :thumbsup:

MB, I'm glad you posted those pictures showing the lights hanging down around it. I never saw those lights in any of your other pictures, so I thought you just had a massive amount of lights at the top. That's why I was concerned about losing lumens, etc.

I want you to start flowering her now, so we can see the juicy buds. Gonna be delicious. :thumbsup:

I'm patient, because it's the only thing I have to go through the long months of winter. I start a plant in october, and harvest in april!

His seeds should be fine, It was a seed that came from his last grow. Which one plant had some stress and hermi, And he hit his other female with the pollen. And if am correct he should have some Fem seeds.

And maybe you guys should take a look at his other thread. He grew 2 monsters with just the cfls. Anything is possible, so if you have not actually grown cfls and took the time to try and grow a monster plant don't knock someone else trying.! As you can always re postion the cfls in spots that a Mh, HPS cant get to. And you can postion the bulbs alot closer and that wonderful good shit.!

Looking great Monkey keep doing what ya been doing, Show them the cfl monster you can create.!:jointsmile::thumbsup:

Keep on coming with the updates bro., Always nice to see someone else ladies. Since watching your own seems different from watching someone else ladies.:thumbsup:

Peachez looked as if she would have been really bushy last grow. If you had more lights when you started her than as of now. But your plant is twice the size as the other 2 were in their day 40's.

Maybe not a monster this year, but WAY better than last year, she's as big as the 2 of last year, combined together! And i'm an optimist-realist, so yeah buds will be big...but I don'T know how to make realy dense buds, without too much leaves in them..

So day 46 here!!

Just remember that CFL's only put out about 4000 lumens at best. This is great for rooting, small veg and maybe even mature veg. Your flowering results though will be maximized if done at the smallest size possible.

Under CFL's you should be flowering clones, not a 2 foot mother plant.

i was talking to BB MB. i've grown some "monsters" under CFLs. granted, the buds were light and airy, but they were pretty damn big none the less. such is the nature of the beast under CFLs. i had some plants that were 3+ feet tall and had multiple buds (due to topping and LST) that were bigger than a 1 quart bottle of nutes by far. check the pics. those were done under CFLs.

i think that stuff called gravity is supposed to help thicken/dense up buds. i've never used it though.

4000 lumens? what? almost got 30 000 lumens here on 1x1x1 foot plant...Stoners..

:stoned:

Each bulb puts out how many lumen?

You have so many bulbs that put out so many lumen. Those lumen are not added together to get a total of 30,000 lumen it's number of sources of the same amount of lumen.

The energy may be overlapping at some point to give a slightly higher combined total but with fluorescent light.. the light dissipates very quickly the further away from the bulb you are.

Does that make sense now?

4 bulbs at X amount of lumen is not combined..only distributed to a larger footprint.

If you got a light meter you would see what i mean.

Trust me, i used to think the same thing before i was informed properly.

I know that, that's why I'm vegging that long! I want a big ass plant! Last year they were around 4 feet tall and around 2 feet wide. So this year, this plant will be around same height and width maybe a bit more but I predict a maximum height of 50 inches, and a width of 28 inches maximum.

As for now it measures a healthy 20" tall and 15" wide!

So... is that 4ft plant going under a 600watt HPS or into direct sunlight??

Cause that's the only way it'll get enough energy to flower the way you probably want it to flower.

Your "big ass plant" will produce "weak ass buds" under those CFL's.

And no...
I'm not talking out my ass, i've completed probably 2 dozen grows and manage a hydroponics store full time.

Your "big ass plant" will produce "weak ass buds" under those CFL's.

And no...
I'm not talking out my ass, i've completed probably 2 dozen grows and manage a hydroponics store full time.


But hey.. whatever, you do what you want. :hippy:

Bob.

Only one question, have you seen my last year's grow? Probably not. My best plant was 40" tall and produced about 3 ounces of pretty nice buds, soft but dense buds! And pretty tasty!

Yo, your Plant looking great Monkey, keep it healthy.

Yo Bob, Everyone can't afford, or have the area for a 600watt.. I can't wait myself. But He is just doing a personal grow, And I believe he is trying to compare the out come of this grow, To his last year grow then have knowledge of how he can work his area for future use.

I mean its none my business or anything, But isn't it Exp. that we really need to get our own growing spaces dialed in.?....Trial & error period. Without Trying it out you never know what may happen. Everyone has different success and failures..IMHO.

I just think the best we can do is offer advise, & hope for the best for the other people with their experiences.:wtf: Then after give advise on things to improve on or different Techniques to try if they are not satisfied with results or problems...Imo.!

Good Day, Nothing personal or any thing.!

Monkey, Have you decided yet on a date to flip em 12/12.?

No i hear ya, If you're doing all you can do than that's cool. Work with what you've got.
I'm giving my advice , which is to flower sooner than later but it's apparent that i'm barking up the wrong tree as it's clear that my advice is not being taken seriously.

So again, to each his own.. "whatever, do what you want" kind of thing.

Cheers,
Bob.

[MonkeyBone]

WO guys!

I don't want to fight over each other. The point is, I am the only one capable of knowing what is best for my plant here and now. Yes maybe I shoul flower sooner. Yes maybe I should throw some molasse in there. Yes maybe I should test the ph of the water solution. Yes maybe I should use other fert, etc...

I will try to flower later because last year I flowered as soon as I saw those pre-flowers, like 2 months vegging..I'm not even at 2 months veggin with this grow. Week-end before christmas is the date as for now. Not this week-end but the other week-end, since preflowers were seen almost a month ago.

I take advices like a take the talking of a women, I hear it but I don't always listen to it.:wtf:

Hiya MB..What can we all say? NOTHING! You go boy,You'r last year grow was great I THINK and hope you keep goin the way you always have (OWN YOU"R OWN) I just have 1 question (what is the tallest plant you can have in that grow room)?

Man i'm just watching to learn here..
You doin great far as i'm concern..

Killer had a thought as you'r lower branches..you can make holes in the top of your pots and not cut them but tie them down a bit and open your canopy for more light to the center of the plant..As you'r plant is now the canopy is reflecting the light..

If you tie some branches down just a bit it will allow more light in and well produce more bud sites..The end result would only be more SMOKE and even maybe better..Because you will be losing light in the center of the plant..

I am no expert but make scents (OO im drinking) But we all like as much light to the whole plant as possible right?? THE MORE THE BETTER?


Just a thought bro......That is 1 great looking plant...AND i have seen you'r 1st grow and it was very good..


BOB WAS HARSH....must have been drinking....STOP THAT BOB..lol

[KillerBudG]

Na, Bob is a kool person with great advise.! He has a lot of information that he is just trying to spread round. Which I believe to be great, considering this site is not up to stat like before and others.

Everyone has their right to agree to disagree. And I completely agree with him on his last post, But just stated every-ones grow will turn out different. What may work for you and 3 others may not work for me or someone else.

Branches will loosen a bit when I put her in flower mode. Cuz now they're as stiff as a morning wood.

I'll switch it 12/12 next week-end. I don't have time this week-end to do it.

It's more than double the size of Peachez form last year!

[rabidsquirrel451]

Dude I don't know enough about growing to say for sure whether their concerns about flowering size are going to be valid, but I do know that that's one of the sickest plants I've seen and I can tell you're willing to give it as much care is it needs! If it gets too tall or needs more light, I'm sure you'll find a way to figure out ways to fill those needs.

[mainegrown]

HOLY SH*T!!! thats huge man whats it gonna do?!?!

[KillerBudG]

HOLY SH*T!!! thats huge man whats it gonna do?!?!

Well it will grow, Stretch when put to flower first couple weeks then bud up. Then the last 2 weeks or so it will put on the weight. Then look real good dry out,cure, than smoke like some flame.

Sounds like a solid plan Monkey, Ill stay posted. I Flipped my ladies bout 2 weeks ago. And I still have not finished my grow area. But it is coming along swell.:thumbsup::D

~One~:rastasmoke:

[BobBong]

:wtf: I'll be interested to see how it goes i guess...
I didn't think i was being harsh, just realistic. I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over anything that happens with someone else's garden.
I myself started with CFL's and then I switched to 400's so i know the difference, really 600's are the way to go.. This is why I recommend what I recommend.
You can still do well with CFL's you just should be flowering at much smaller size is all.
Monkey is a big boy, he can do whatever he wants. Just be sure to have fun with it. :thumbsup:

All you gotta do is adjust the light timer(s) which shouldn't take more than 5 min to do, you don't have 5 minutes?....

Rearrange all the grow room because I know this thing will fly upward in no time. Changing all cfls for 2700k, and one 42w cfl is all loose (spiral thing in the base) so I gotta buy a new one.

Anyway, next friday, i'm changing it for 12/12. Agenda is set!

Pics later today

P.S. I may be doing the switch sunday, this plant is fuc$%ing huge and I finally don't have to go out of town so, anyway, sleepy head go to bed.

[MonkeyBone]

Plant is dead......dead serious about 12/12 schedule!

Yeah...finally had my whole week-end so, set-up is done! Took me about 1 hour.

10x 23w 2700k cfls (16000 lumens total) + 4x 42w 2700k cfls (6500lumens) For a total of 22500 lumens! 2700k cfls produce less lumens...anyway it's really bright in there, but less blindness!

Also, done a bit of LST! Took all lower branches and tied em up to the sides of the pot. I don't know if it's a good thing, since lights on the sides are farther away from the center of the plant.

So here is day 58! (1st day flowering)you really see the difference of light colors!

First pic is cfl arsenal! And i've got some spares too! Kit for veg and kit for flower!
Second and third pics are flowering setup, no LST

Depends on strain Bob, some strains show quite a lot of red/purple even when they are healthy. And although it could also mean an issue everything else about it is healthy, so I wouldn't worry too much!

and second, plant is healthy! For the nutes I use this:[attachment=o233304] 3 bottles for normal fert + big bud for bloom! .2g for 2 liters for now! (They say 10g per 20 liters)its 0-15-40

temps are Day: ~83f Night: ~66f

frostedwonder, it's not realy lst, it's more like moving away branches for light going more to the center, but light is farther away from the plant because of this, we'll see!

LoafyBoy, this plant is realy strong!!

Yeah i'm keeping it that way! Will have another 42w cfl tomorrow to replace a 23w, already found another one so i put it on the side, but when i'll have the other one i will put them together on the very top of the plant to replace the 2 23w there, so I'll have 8 23w and 6 42w.

No place for clamp or anything, i barely fit in there, and I got to go there, hey man, it's a closet! Not just for growing! :D

I'm eager to see buds on her!!!

Hey looks like your having fun! Did you take any clones off this? I read this log from end to end,,,but I have extreme ADHD so I could have been reading the very words about clones,,,then oh look shiny things..and then back to reading about what was I reading again....

And I would say yes to your growing race you mentioned on my grow log, but only if you were my next door neighbor cause not being able to sample it at the end and only being able to see it online would never be enough for me! My Purple Wrecks are going to stretch for sure but the Wonder Woman I have is the closest match to your big bushy lady... Either way love the pic updates.

How much do you think you have spent on cfl's roughly? And am I right to say you have no exhaust system other then opening your closet door? If that is true then your hybrid can seriously take heat well.. Cool cross so far..

Thanks mate!

$$ on cfls.. about 150$ roughly. And no exhaust system, it's a closet! and i'm in an appartement so no drilling into walls or ceiling or doors. On weekdays. door is shut at 10pm when lights go off, and I open it at 5pm when I come back from work. Friday's I finish at lunch so i open it as soon as i'm here. Week-ends, it's close when lights are off, and I open it as soon as lights go on at 10am.

no clones, because when this baby is finished it will be spring, and it brings heat. I have a little freezer in the closet, and i replug it when spring comes. Not a good place for a plant. Maybe outside! who knows!

I think it has good genetics, no molds, no pests, no insects, tolerates heat well over 90f and under 70f too, won't suffocate from being enclosed all day long. Pretty tough i'd say!

I know you said your replacing some of the lights, have you looked into getting like a large 68w CFL (300w equivalent) maybe for the sides or something. I have 2 in my setup and they put out ALOT of light.

Keep up the great work

I don't know what wicking means but yeah, it has a slotted false bottom for drainage and a kinda tissue thing with a little pipe for bottom watering. Tried that once, not great results. Watering her from the top is the best way, running water drains down and eventually the plant drink it.

I'm watering her every 4-5 days, i wait till she's bone dry to ensure no root rot. 2 waterings with nutes and 1 water only. It does the trick very well!

I'd take out the battery and let it dry for at least 24 hours; put a fan on it. Then look on craigslist to see if any electronics experts can offer help.

Take the battery out and blow it out with compressed air like now. Leave it in a warm spot for a couple days, it'll be fine.

I did the same with my old camera, never worked again :(

Hooked my mp3 player to charge it...nothing, unplugged it, replugged it...screen ON!!! but no loading...reset...reset... holding reset...LOADING!!!! IT FUCKING WORKS!!!! Headphones too!!! Everything is OK! Except the screen, it got fog/water in it. But it displays!

Battery is a welded unit inside it, no way I can remove it, so I let it sit on the room heater...all night and day. shaked it to let water out by headphones/usb outlets...

And a pic of my socket arrangement, you see wires are holding sockets, which are connected via electric wires. Tape is only for me to not touch the connections.

Sugary treats!!

I feed mine every 2 watering: one watering only water, one watering with organic nutes + Big Bud. Less is better but not enough, is, well, not enough!

What are your lights? cfls? if so try to put them closer to your plants and buds!

Genetic can be a factor too, I don't know!

I'm no smoker, I'm more of a eater! Once every, 1-2 months! Very occasional. I used to smoke everyday for 3-4 years, and one day I completely lost it. This day I understood it was time to stop smoking.

Happy new year too!

Start oven at 320f EXACTLY. Take 2 bear paws cookies (molasses), spread nutella on each,then sprinkle some goods on them and close them like a sandwich. Put the sandwich in microwave at HIGH for 10 seconds. Then wrap the sandwich almost SEALED in aluminum foil. Put it in the oven, middle row. for 22 minutes!!! not 23 nor 21.

Then put them in microwave for a "cooldown" 10 sec. at HIGH. Happy trip!

I took some stuff of last years grow, and made myself those cookies in november, they were a blast!!!

Day 80! (3 weeks flower)

First pic is the whole plant and a little surprise on far right...a 13w red cfl!! Mainly for looks, and i got it free! 2nd and 3rd pics are close-ups!

hey MB just a quick question man...
arnt your cfl's a bit far from the plant bro?? obviously it is doing fine but it seems like ppl here think 2-3" is the max depth for light to penetrate for a CFL... those look more like 6-8"???
and nice red one i am looking for some of those but no luck so far..

I had wondered the same thing, But they really were not all that close from the get go. Yeah they were closer in the beginning, but i think hes battling the heat issue when his door is closed. Just a guess, but i was right about him not being a big smoker. You and i would have flowered that puppy at 21-30 days, you know it, lol:jointsmile:

If I move the plant closer to the lights on the right, some leaves will touch some lights on the other wall, and vice versa. And I can't move the lights front and back, I can only move them sideways, they are on a clothes pole.

I've pulled some of the lower branches out of the plant, this gives me more light in the center of the plant, but i cannot put the plant as near tot he lights as i want to.

Anyway it's doin great, but maybe I will find a way to place the lights in a way the don't burn the plants leaves.

Flash forward a few months and MB has a new state of the art commercial greenhouse with all the bells and whistles! All others quit growing out of shame and look to him for medicine and the meaning of life. Ok so I didn't take my meds this morning...... Looks good MB it has to be the 13w red light I am sure of it lol.:thumbsup:

Even if I put the plant far away from the plant, if it's 90f in there, it will be 90f!

Temps are ok.

highs are ~88f, daytime with door open ~80f, nightime ~ 68f

Just my :twocents: but wouldn't lowering that fan help a bit with the heat ?
It looks like its blowing over the top only in my opinion and a couple lights..
But she still looks great too ! :jointsmile:

Air is moving everywhere in the closet, and I don't want to blow directly on the plant. Anyway, I don't have any other place to put it!! I barely fit in the closet!

But I finally managed to move the plant closer to the lights! Removed some stories of foam under the plant to lower it, lowered the top lights, and voila! Lights in the sides are closer! And it lights more of the biggest buds, so it will make them bigger!

Edit: plant has grown 1" in 4 days, so it won't be as tall as i planned! Goood! I want it obese! Not tall!
