2010 first grow from good bagseed grow log

[StickyBuds1987]

thanx LSY and oldhaole i think i had a lil bit of that going on on the bottom of 2 of the tops so i removed it im thinking its cuz to much shade not enough sun plus it has been humid to so if i see any more i might have to harvest early cuz im afraid it will just keep on spreading which will suck but im gonna hold out for as long as i can and keep my fingers crossed thanx again guys :jointsmile::jointsmile::thumbsup:

[StickyBuds1987]

well this morn i went out to water and i checked on the middle top looked like the rot was gonna spready so i took the middle top off of superhands before it got to bad to save and so it would not spread to the other tops on here i got a few pics here goes


the 2nd pic you can see on tha stem where the but rot was oh and it weighed 5.5 grams wet so i might end up with a couple j's haha oh well

''cowdog'' POSTED this in ''bud rot'' search, thought it might help ya if you read it man.:rasta:


heres a c/p from another forum:
Bud Rot

During the last week or two of flowering, depending on if you use chemical or organics. If you use chemical, you want to flush 1 ½ weeks to 2 weeks before harvest to flush out all of the chemical nutrients that your plant was using. If you are using Organics then you would want to flush about a week before harvest. Giving them plain water is fine, flushing them also improves the overall quality of your bud. Once you start to 'flush' you should check extra careful for bud rot. Bud Rot Happens when the humidity is high, if you have fat dense buds, or if mold spores are in the air. Bud rot looks like a black brownish sludge that can quickly take over your plant and ruin your harvest. The mold spores are air-borne.

Prevent and Control

Removing any dead or dying material from the plant helps prevent bud rot so does decreasing humidity and increasing ventilation. There are also safe anti fungal sprays from hydro shops that help. If you do find gray mould, cut off the infected part of the plant well above and below the effected area and remove it from the grow room. Decreasing the humidity from 55% to around 40% will make a big difference in preventing bud mold. Also having very big buds can cause bud rot, and would advise watching the areas on your plant that have the biggest, thickest and the more dense buds. Try to have medium size buds rather than having big thick buds. Having a dehumidify around when high humidity days can help as well.

To protect them against bud rot for outside. DO NOT foliar spary at night, doing this the heat will not evaporate the water as well because it is night.
Water the plants in the day instead of so close to being night. Same as foliar spraying.

Make sure your plants are stress free as possible and checking plants often can aid in getting rid of moldy bud before the spores spread onto other areas of the plant! Have a lot of air going around the plants for bad ventilation= sick plants and a breeding ground for spores!

Keep leaves away from soil making sure they do NOT touch the soil.

Keep cooler temps at night while plants are on there down time.

If you have gotten bud rot already the best thing to do is cut off the bad buds discard them away from youâ??re grow and apply any of the following: Neem oil, Neem2 which is a ready made solution!
Using high ph water for foliar spray prevents them from spreading as well kills the mold. pythium is another good product to use! There are many other chemicals and organics that work, but these are the most popular and they work very very well!



Fungus

Fungus is another problem when you are in flowering, because they are susceptible to a fungus or bud rot. Growing conditions for fungus are best when temps are between 60 and 80 degrees and the humidity is high. The fungus is very destructive and spreads quickly. These kinds of fungus are air borne and can travel to other bud sites. If you already have been infected by them the best thing you can do is cut off and remove the infected area and then discard out of the grow area, then get a hold of some anti-fungal spray and apply.

Fungi can kill your crop quick, so invest in some SAFE fungicide and spray down the plants as much as you can and as soon as you can. The faster the safer.. If you have had problems with fungus before, do NOT spray them you will contribute to the fungus becoming resistant to the spray/chemicals you are using. Try to keep the humidity down to the range fungus do not grow to well in. Keep a good amount of ventilation around your grow, and if you have plants outside, always keep them quarantined away youâ??re your indoor plants until you know they are safe.

Most fungicides are very nasty and eating them can be very dangerous so its best to use something on them that is safe on plants that you can eat., Safer makes a very safe product that can be found in most stores and hydro shops. it contains only sulfur in solution. Here is a picture of what bud rot looks like when it starts to form.

Control
To control to prevent fungus from forming there are a few things you should do.

DO NOT foliar feed at night, tends to make humidity higher rather than when you water in the day the water has time to evaporate where at night will linger in the air.

Same goes for watering plants at night, wait till the morning or afternoon to water!

Keep a happy plant and will not become prone to infections. Checking plants often can aid in getting rid of any fungus that may attack other leaves and or bud!

Have a lot of air going around the plants for bad ventilation= sick plants and a breeding ground for spores!

Keep leaves away from soil making sure they do NOT touch the soil.

Keep cooler temps at night while plants are on there down time.


If you have already gotten some kind of fungus there are things you can use: neem2, neem oil works wonders!! Potassium Bicarbonate, Baking soda and for other chemical agents you can use Plant Shield, Serenade and pythium! There are many other chemicals and organics that work but these are the most popular and they work very very well!

thanx Lsy looks like i already took a step in tha right direction by removing what i did i just hope that i cant leave the rest of the buds to mature and not have to cut them early which will suck thanx again LSY bro :thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile:

ah thanx man have not seen you on the forums in a while how ya been

[StickyBuds1987]

Here is a lil update ill get pics soon but it rained for an hour or 2 this afternoon it was much needed. I also fed the girls this morning im hoping i dont see any more bud rot so i can leave the other 2 tops till the end.

Still no sign of runty starting to flower she is just pumping out tha lil white hairs so i hope she starts to flower soon. Also my youngest plant is going great still has not shown sex yet but maybe soon.

[StickyBuds1987]

Well guys i ended up taking another one of the tops on superhands you could see the rot or mold running up tha steam to the bud another couple of days and it prob would have been on the bud. Now the other top has no signs of it at all so im gonna leave it there plus she has a couple lower branches that just started making buds so ill just let them mature and stuff.

[StickyBuds1987]

well guys its been a couple days since i did an update someone had to borrow the cam so i cant get pics for a couple of days the girls are looking great the one i topped is growing like a weed Runty still is not showing any signs of flowering just still putting out pistles and superhands is doing good im just doing the waiting game now im still waiting on the one i topped to show sex

[Stomper420]

Well shit stinky. If your getting buds already you did something right I guess

Good growing:rasta:

lol yeah your right but it could have been a much better year but im a newb at growing so this year is just mainly for experience. Im just glad that i was able to grow a couple of plants and end up with a lil bud haha next year im gonna up my grow and try and learn from my mistakes from this years grow

[Stomper420]

Thats what I did last year. Fricken plant was off the hook. This year seems different I think because of the weird weather we had in spring. Slowed things up :(

Oh well, we are still trucking:rastasmoke:

lol yeah i made the mistake of not taking in to account the leaves would fill in more on the tree's where i planted. So my plants went from getting like 6 to 7 hours or direct light to maybe an hour or 2. so this has affected my plants all year so they do not look near as good as half the ppl's on here. Next year i plan to use pots at least for the first few months.

[MDFinest]

I made that mistake to Sticky.. I had trees like 30ft high where my plants were in the spring.. the leaves hadnt grown in but come May the area is heavy shaded. Thats just trial and error at its best.. HAHA!

Alrite mate ,thats why I keep them in pots as long as possible ,and the sun will also be lower in the sky later in the year which causes probs for me,

Hows the bud rot prob ?, I had one of my flowering girls tighly packed into my g'house with my big vegging girl while we've had 2 weeks of downpours ,when I took her out to check her over I found rot on one of my buds ,I'm glad I caught it when I did as it would of spread.Thats the first time I've had it so second year growing and I've just learned something new.:thumbsup:

Lol yeah well now at least we know what to look for and how to avoid it haha. But yeah i think i might do like LSY does and plant my next crop in pots and trans plant them to bigger pots a couple diff times. To get a good root ball then but them in tha ground. At least by his time all the leaves will have filled in and i can put them in a great spot.

[lever2000]

man good to see ya sticky ive had problems with the caterpilers too my only solution is vilagence if you watch your plants enough you will see them ive noticed that where the worms are the will be little spots that looks like dirt/rot on your plant (mostly the buds) but its not dirt/rot its the half eaten plant material from the worms this is a tall tale sign that you have them just look in that area you see the dirt/rot and you will find them i pulled like 10 or 12 of my girls yesterday straight munchin my buds hope this helps :baggy:

[StickyBuds1987]

[StickyBuds1987]

well its time for a pic update ppl

the first 2 pics are of superhands really cant call her that from the looks of her now but yo ucan see the branches growing up

and the nex 2 pics are of my youngest one that just showed sex itsa a girl

the last pic is a pic is of runty

i know that my plants are not the best looking plants but im sure thats prob cuz the lack of direct sunlight which has turned out to be the main cause of all my probs this grow lesson learned haha

[StickyBuds1987]

ah here is an all in one shot of all 3 girls

[LetsSeeYa]

the first 2 pics are of superhands really cant call her that from the looks of her now but yo ucan see the branches growing up

Just keep the ferts going and plain water in between and it will help them get up a bit man:thumbsup:



the last pic is a pic is of runty

Like i said before this plant will be your good one in the end. And mine were all this size last year bro, its all in learning. When ya go out next time, look around at the growth and pic your spots for next year. This way ya know the shade and how long the sun will hit a spot for. Then next year your ahead of the game bro:jointsmile:

Man like i said, mine looked just like yours last year so i planned early this year and moved em out a bit to catch more direct light. Plus if you can try and start them in May or even April if you can, because the bugs arnt as bad on them in the begging. Plus if ya start them out in small pots and re pot 2 or even 3 times to bigger pots, brotha you will ave nice big ass monsters next year. And ya got all winter to invest in some quality nutes and good soil and most important perlite. I have come to believe that perlite is as important as water.

Nice job man:thumbsup:and next year you will step it up and can take advantage of the knowledge from this year. And hey you got a 5 star rated grow for your first grow! I think mine was rated as 3 stars and none for this grow, lol.

Great job bro:rasta:

thanx LSY you have been a big help this season and yeah i am already planning for my next grow and im gonna do it in pots like you do so i can get a good root ball and stuff ah and how do you rate ppls logs you deserve a 5 star this year mos def

Stick my man, i only did what people did for me last year and i learned from it. Then i read all winter to pick up anything i could. After last years grow i knew just where to put them this year. Its a good idea and you can dig your holes in spring, it gets the animals used to em and should leave your plant alone, just something an old timer told me. You will luv next year man. And maybe grow one in a box with CFL's for a winter project, you could even re veg it and ya dont need many of these. If i knew this i would have not put but only the re vegs out.


Keep er green bro:weedpoke:

lol man i think your reading my mind i was thinking of trying to grow 1 or 2 plants in my closet this winter with cfls but idk if i will be able to. What size box and how many cfls do you use and if i have a 4x4 or 5x5 closet with white walls will i still need a box??


Oh yeah ill deff do a reveg if i grow any indoors. I just got some fire bud and i only find 3 seeds in it so i may grow these out to but i want to get some good quality seeds to.

[StickyBuds1987]

ah well ppl a nice lil update but no pics ill get them next time i go out to water well Runty is deff flowering and so he covered in bud spots haha and my other 2 are doing great just waiting for them to flower i really hope i dont see any more bud worms cuz i have nothing to kill them


oh and i also am germing 3 seeds i know its way to late but they will make a lil bit of something lol :jointsmile::jointsmile:

[StickyBuds1987]

ok ppl only had time to get a couple of pics

1st pic is of all 3 of them after it rained a lil

2nd pic is of all 3 of them when the sun came out while i was out there to kinda show you guys how much sun they get the youngest one gets the most sun

[StickyBuds1987]

Well a lil update the girls are doing good runty is a week and a half to 2 weeks into flowering. Super hands is showing pre flowers my youngest plant is also pre flowering and they will prob be kicked into full flower in a week or 2.

Also the seeds i am germin 2 popped so far one yesterday and one today. The first one to pop was put outside yesterday and has already sprouted out of the soil the other one was put out today and im hoping it does the same wish me luck ppl.

Oh and i have them some where so they get like 6 to 8 hours of sun from 6 or 7am to around 3 or 4pm then then they are shaded the rest of the time. is this to much sun for them or is it ok ??...

Oh and the soil i used was just the MG potting soil with the 3 month slow release nutes. Yeah i know not the best to use but its all i had plus im just trying this out to see what happens. I mean i have nothing to lose also the only perlite i have is whats already in the soil.

[StickyBuds1987]

ah its been a while i guess if anyone is still stopping by my log but i have been busy well all 3 of my girls are budding although im not happy runty got munched on by something it ate the middle top and the top off a side branch idk what deer prob i hope i dont see anymore of them ill get some pics this weekend

oh and as far as the lil seedlings go well ants got 2 of them before the lil seed hull fell off and the other one died kinda made me go wtf cuz i thought it would be alot easier this go around with seedlings and stuff but i guess not its prob just that its the wrong time of year oh well

[MDFinest]

man I didnt get to do an op this year but looking at you guys work makes me feel happy for you all. Hope this years harvest is great.

[StickyBuds1987]

man I didnt get to do an op this year but looking at you guys work makes me feel happy for you all. Hope this years harvest is great.

lol thanx man yeah me to i wish i could just find out what or who is taking bites or pinching on my plants runty and super hands both have been munched on or something none of the leaves its just been a few lil bud tops which makes it sooo much worse

[StickyBuds1987]

well something ate the tops and ever fucking leaf off my youngest plant im soooooo pissed right now but id rather that happen now than like 2 weeks from harvest but wish it would not have happened at all so now all i have is 2 plants that i hope they dont get ate/took im gonna se up a hunting cam out there just to see what/who it is this is why i could grow indoors also so i would at least have some back up plants


i was to pissed to worry with picks

[Stomper420]

Wow, that sucks...I wonder what it is.

[StickyBuds1987]

who knows man it sucks to cuz my other 2 plants are only 2 weeks into flower so i woudl really end up with nothing so i have got to let it keep going and hope it does not happen again

[StickyBuds1987]

well i pulled the one that got munched on or w.e happened to it it only had like 1 or 2 leaves on it and it just pissed me off every time i looked at it so i pulled it so im down to 2 plants and im hoping that they will make it

[StickyBuds1987]

Well hey ppl its been a while, i got busy and did not have to time to really get on and post sorry about that. I took my last plant the 2nd week in oct i did not end up with much but i did get some experience out of it. And the buds i did get were great a lot better than i expected for my first time, all i can say is next year i may grow them in pots and put them in the ground later who knows lol sorry no pics either.
