Cataract Kush

[Treez81]

So after two successful grows I have decided to post my first grow log. I put the seeds in a cup of water last night and will be putting them in solo cups with ffof tonight. I have a 432 watt t5 light that provides 40000 lumens. I will be growing in my closet in a space that is 8 square feet and plan on having two plants. My seeds came from hempdepot and are DNA's cataract kush fem. If someone could please explain to me how I post pictures on here as I have not figured that out yet. Thank you guys in advance for any help or ideas.

Best of luck with your grow and grow log, treez!

[Treez81]

Here they are...Decided to do one more, so I have it soaking in the water right now.

[Treez81]

There they r. All three sprouted.

Calm down..... Goooosssfffrraaaaabbbbaaaaa.....

What were your expectations??? You have three seedlings growing, cool..... Unless you have a prob or someone sees something wrong, most people will just watch and see what becomes of your grow....

So, you up to it Treez??? Up to showing us your skills???

I'd love to see what you can do for your third grow Treez. I'm always hanging around in the growlogs, its my favourite section and between it and Plant Problems its the best place to learn. The board has been quiet since all the crashes and alot of members have drifted off.
People are watching and reading though so thats a good thing eh?! Hope you keep it up :)

[Treez81]

Yea....I had a little too much whiskey...lol..Im a pretty impatient bastard.

Big difference between the Day 6 and Day 9 pics - they're doing very well :)

[CanGroIt]

I agree... Looking good for three days difference...

How long do you think you will be keeping them in the party cups???

[Treez81]

I did not really have a time set. I guess they will tell me when they r ready.

[JoeDudeGuy]

Hey brohamus

You Let those seeds split and then popped them under FFOF soil without anything else ? !

Please tell me that's what you did as that's exactly what one of MY newborns is doing right now ;) - scept it's not showing me shit ( I put it under about 1/4" of FFOF )

[Treez81]

I'm not sure if I understand what u r asking but I soaked my seeds in water for about 18 hours then I planted them on ffof with the root tip down. Put a ziplock bag over the cup and placed them under my light. I removed the ziplock once they sprouted at first I had the light a couple of feet away but when the second set of real leaves dropped I moved the light to within six inches.

[Treez81]

Well I did decide to go ahead and put them In their new homes. The cups were drying out In under 24 hours so it was time.275806275807

[Mrbig1]

Bigger containers do help so i am told :D looking good btw

[Treez81]

Yea. These containers r 7"x7"x9" deep. I'm hoping to keep them here during veg and not transplant again until before flower. We shall see.

[Mrbig1]

Hope they last a while and watch for roots coming through the holes so they don't get root bound

[Treez81]

So I figured since I have not said much about my grow I would take the time to do it now...
Like I mentioned before I have an eight bulb, four foot t5 setup in and eight square foot space. I'm growing three feminized cataract kush plants from seed. As u know I use ffof and also the fox farm liquid trio. I started them in solo cups and have now transplanted them to their veg containers. The containers I have for flower r 12"x12"x12" I am running six 5600k bulbs and two 2700k bulbs. For flower I reverse that. BTW the grow is done in a closet. I cut a passive vent for intake. I had a small exhaust fan my last grows but have found heat to be a small problem. My last batch came out airy. Anyways I bought a six inch 400cfm fan with a carbon filter for this one and will be installing it in a few days. I also use two fans to move air around.

So now that I have filled u In I would like advise on pruning and whether I should get the fox farm soluble ferts as well. Ty to all that reply

[Mrbig1]

So how much do you want this grow to net ya?

Also i think pruning is only a problem if it is blocking light to other leaves or is making the plant droop

if your good with measuring your ferts then go for it just watch out for over feeding with liquid ferts

[Treez81]

I never set a limit on the yield. What I get is what I get. I will try my best to provide a great environment and let them do the rest. Last grow I got four ounces on two plants. BTW I also have it on an 18/6 light schedule.

[Treez81]

Lol. So I was looking in the magazine for new bulbs and realized they r 3000k and 6500k. Oops been a while since I bought them.

[Treez81]

I was forced to throw them out and give away my equipment. Sorry I will not be finishing this log. I quit

Wow! Didn't expect to read this.... Sucks to hear.... If you don't mind me asking, what happened???

[319]

Sorry to hear that, I've been following your grow.

[Treez81]

I'm not sure how secure it is posting pictures on here. I'm one paranoid bastard.

[Treez81]

I topped them today.

Yeah, so am I but I also don't think I am special enough for LEO to spend time going after me..... After all, I am compliant with state laws and I'm not a big enough fish for the feds, plus I don't grow for profit so, ehh......

Your plants are looking good. Hopefully we get to see your end product.....

CGI::::::

[Treez81]

Hopefully the end product will be worth seeing. Second the not growing for profit notion.

[Treez81]

Not sure if u can see from the pics but I numbered them. I will define that more in further pics. Anyways...CK2 smells like OG no doubt. CK3 smells different. Maybe LA? Although CK1 has had more vigorous growth, it really just smells green. Either way, with the fan off, these three little plants stink it up.

[Treez81]

So I had to transplant them again. I was having to water every day in the other containers. These r 12 inch by 12 inch tall.

[319]

Looking nice.

[rattlingdags]

:thumbsup: They're coming along very nicely

[Treez81]

Still doing good. Took a little bit to recover from being topped then transplanted but they r really kicking in gear now. CK1 is the strongest grower. The other two seem to be coming along about the same.

Looking good! Ill be pulling up a chair for this one.

[Treez81]

I know I don't say much and my log might not be the most interesting but Im not sure what to say really. If anyone has any questions I will be glad to answer. I just don't see the need in talking about every time I water or give them food. I will just post pics as I go along.

Thats a good thing. Just means everything is going good.

[Treez81]

On a side note I finally got a kung pao pepper to sprout. Now I just hope I can keep it alive. I get mj to sprout every time but these little fuckers were tough.

[rattlingdags]

LOL good luck with the peppers :) Is it in with the girls?? They're looking great too btw. Nice chunky leaves and the picture of health.

[319]

nice thread!

Are you going to top just once or do you top often in veg?

How long have you kept your plants in veg in one of those 7x7? Just wondering if you think it effects growth rate or not? I've always veg in bigger pots and want to see it from your point of view. Do you do something different to the soil like add more wormcastings or anything like that?

if possible would you veg in a large container?

Your plants are looking very nice. I can't wait to see them later in flower.

[Treez81]

Lol. They only stayed in the seven inch pots about a week. I was having to water too much after that. They r now in twelve inch pots. I have not decided if I want to chop on them anymore or not. I was thinking of just trimming off some lower growth. To be honest I do not have much experience with trimming. I let my last plants just grow without trimming to see what it would do and thought is just top these once and remove lower growth and see how that goes. I'm using a t5 so lower growth has turned out subpar. As far as the soil goes I just use ffof just like it comes. I will cut the bottom off these pots and place them inside another pot the same size filled about 3/4 full before I put them on 12/12 I use the fox farm nutes and pretty much follow their chart. One thing is for sure. When I turn off the fan these girls stink like crazy. Lol.

Sorry to hear glad you'r safe .
Thank's for sharing .

[Treez81]

Haven't posted in a while. Gonna throw them to flower in a couple of weeks. I just thinned them out a couple of days ago so Im gonna give them time to recover. They have just started to alternate nodes. So far only ck1 has proven to be female. It has been the strongest most vigorous plant by far. The small plants in the last pic r my peppers.

Ck1, ck2, ck3

Aha looking very nice , short stout indica . You can flower now if you want , i'd not take any more off them as you have plenty room by the look of it .
I'd go thinning out lower branches that won't reach the canopy and flip to flower , i'm crowded tho and light dosent get through my canopy .

[Treez81]

I chopped some pretty big branches so I want to let the auxins work it out. I'm in no hurry anyways. BTW...they have all shown their hairs now. Props out to Dna genetics.

[Treez81]

Have not posted in a while. Nothing very exciting going on. The plants themselves r well over three feet tall.

[319]

ahhhh, they is sho purty!

I was wondering what happened to you. Good to see your still posting!

[washmedical]

yes nice plants.. i wouldn't worry too much about posting online, just be weary as to who you tell local about your online posting

[Treez81]

Yea I am a little paranoid. I will take full plant pics in the morning and post them. I'm really ready to see how these turn out. Seem to be the strongest I have grown so far. It's like I cannot feed them too much. They love it. Also seem to be budding faster than any others I have done.

[Treez81]

Stretched out pretty good.

[rattlingdags]

Gosh they've grown since the last pics :thumbsup:

[Treez81]

Very crappy picture but I added two of the clones I took to my flower closet.

[CanGroIt]

Looking nice and healthy, good job:thumbsup:....

Hey yo Eeyore (Trees) ((I love your avatar)) ! :thumbsup:

I haven't been by in a while. Turns out I was retarded and did not hit "notify" when I subscribed so I thought you had quit posting ! Then, to my utter amazement you said you tossed everything out and I was majorly bummed. What a psych ! So, now that I see you barely posted anything cause your plants kick so much ass, I'd love to see where you're at now if you don't mind :)

this is beautiful

[Treez81]

I will take some pics in the morning..i have to work all day today and lights will be out when i get home...buds r nice and dense this time around since i got my temps under control...a few fan leaves r a little burnt from all the air circulation, but all in all they r still looking really nice

[JoeDudeGuy]

Who am I to say that pics take the same amount of moments as it takes to check on 'em in the mornin' as usual (one can always upload later !) ~ ? I am just the guy who wants to see :hippy:

A few random pics

[Treez81]

Don't ask me how i managed to make them all sideways. sorry

[MMJ]

So my buddy treez got banned for arguing with the mods on here and he wanted me to come tell everyone that his harvest was successful. The buds were super dense and the taste was good. Definitely not a strain for the begginner smoker. Very powerful stuff. Great for nighty night time. He says he reccommends growing it as it was easy to grow and very strong. Not a huge yeilder, but makes up for it in strength. Hopefully he will be allowed on here again sometime.
