4 sticks in the dirt

[pushit]

Since this board seems so serious these days, thought i'd throw up a grow log that everyone could laugh at. What I have is 4 clones that have been severely neglected(1 SAD, 1 Great White Shark, 1 LSD, and 1 Budzilla). They were in cups for a long time and had very minimum lighting and only got watered when we remembered about them. Once they started growing into the light, I would just snap their necks haha. As you can see, they lost all their big fan leaves. On 4/06 I decided not to scrap them and placed them in 3 gal of MG 6 month that I have had for a long time now. Since this is my last grow and most of my equipment is packed up, this is gonna be done with the bare minimum. Some cfls for veg and 400 hps for flower. Hopefully this soil doesn't burn em up. We will see. I plan on doing a weekly update if they are still living haha.

Nice! Sounds entertaining.;)

Been down that "neglected" path a few times, myself. Heh, They do start to look a lil' scraggly after a half-dozen weeks in a party cup. ;)
Lookin' forward to any update. (or an obituary) :D

Damn.....Looks like the shit I grow all the time.....;)

I can't remember how long they were in the cups but I would almost bet you could double that number haha. I checked on them yesterday and looks like they will make it through alright.

haha thanks for dropping in Skihigh.

The main thing im kicking myself on is using that old ass MG soil. It was sitting outside for about a year and by looking at it yesterday, full of gnats. As long as the gnats are the only thing in the soil, it should be alright. Just might have to pull a Weezard and break out some dryer sheets haha.

[pushit]

Today makes day 6. I decided to leave those two dead fan leaves on just because they add some decoration haha. I have been running the lights 24 but will make the switch to 18/6 in a couple days I think. Hopefully they will look like totally different plants in a couple weeks.

Hey Dutch, hows things been going on your end these days?

Oh...I messed up big time back in January! 14 out of 15 plants died after 5 weeks vegging. I don't know what happened for sure; but, it looked like a bad bag of MG soil. Every time I buy a bag in the wintertime, I always regret it. When I transplanted from cups to 8 inch pots with that soil....they didn't like it. :wtf:

The transplant was a success...but, the patients died ..except for the one in the right, rear corner :i feel stupid:

But...it could have been other things? I might have over did it when I mixed in blood meal? Who knows?

[Dutch Pimp]

The replacements.
Using a 7000k Ushio bulb (for vegging) instead of CMH 4000k bulb; just for giggles :thumbsup:

[pushit]

Wow that sucks man. They look pretty damn happy in that pic. Did they just burn up? Which mg soil do you use? Im always curious on the mg cause theres a million different kinds out there.

The MG moisture control bag I bought in December had probably gone bad?
I bought just the regular MG potting soil bag this time. It was a new shipment.

ph was was normal. All the top growth just locked out or something?
Pretty sure it wasn't burn...from the lights...from the blood meal, maybe?

That's crazy. I will have to say your replacements are kicking ass and looking great!:thumbsup:

If only my fubars were like yours! Popping a few seeds & will try to keep a log myself. Happy trail ya'll

Today makes day 11. The only reason I'm updating is because I'm about to start lsting tonight I think. Bringing the tops down so that the lower growth wont have as much stretch. They are still under 24 hours of light, so maybe tonight while im tying them down my lazy ass will put in a timer. It's not like i don't have several laying around haha. I plan on flowering May 1st so hopefully they will start blowing up by then. Check it out, that original fan leaf is still hanging on for dear life haha. BTW, Weezard if you are looking in, dryer sheets are the shit man!

Today makes 21 days since transplant. I lst'd a little and switched time to 18/6 about a week ago. Great White Shark is having a cal. def problem right now so i will be adding some molasses next watering to keep it in check. We will see how that goes. I'm not real happy about the growth rate at the moment but it is what it is. Between work, finals at school, and the nfl draft they have been pretty neglected haha. I trimmed most of the lower growth and will trim up the rest before I flower. Was hoping to flip the switch May 1st but still debating given the slow growth. Well here's a couple pics. The first on is when I lst'd and the second one is from a couple minutes ago.

Thanks Esteban. Only in 3 gal. I wish i had the time and space to do 10gal. Oh yea and a lot more lights haha

[Esteban1]

I bet they're ready to explode. :thumbsup: You did say you're flowering with a 400? :)
They look SO much better than when we first saw 'em. ;)

Pass the popcorn, please.

Thanks EC. Yea it will be just one 400. Don't think they will get big enough to justify unpacking and hooking up another one. However they turn out, still a lot better than just scrapping them like I originally planned haha.

[pushit]

I decided to go ahead and start flowering today. Other than that, nothing new going on. The first pic is a side shot that shows the original fan leaf still attached. Figured it would've died and fell off by now but its still hanging on haha. Second pic is the 4 little girls basking in their new light.

They have a lot of character then haha. Two of them are real bad. I'm surprised they get water all the way to the top. haha Hows things going on your side these days?

Mamma told me "never stare into the sun". Burning the f--k outta me eyes.

[Dutch Pimp]

congrats! :thumbsup:

Those seeds must have been full of hybrid vigor. Re-reading your first post; I was not optimistic.

They really responded to that transplant! :stoned:...good work.

EDIT: oops...clones. Was they your clones?...or loaners?

Yea they loved the transplant. I probably should've went to 5 gal before the flip but it should be alright. Only time will tell. So how are your girls coming along?

[pushit]

EDIT: oops...clones. Was they your clones?...or loaners?

Yea they are 2nd gen clones that i took from some of the ones i posted in the seedbank thread back in November. The LSD and Budzilla mothers hermied on me the first go due to unstable temps. Their clones made it through flowering with no problems on the next round but i forgot to take pics. So this is kinda like their grand kids in this thread. haha. The SAD and GWS have all made it through. Here's a couple quick pics of cured SAD undergrowth (cant find the bud shots) and some cured GWS.

Trying to adjust to being in an MMJ state. :) Less anxiety, for sure! :yippee:

Just started a log over the "gardens", trying my hand at vertical scrog.
The first run was less than stellar. :( It's a learning experience. (translation: "what a mess") ;)

[pushit]

A month since transplant and a week into flower. Not much going on with the girls. A lot of bright yellow tops cause the ac is kicking their asses haha. They should look normal in about 2 weeks once they get all adjusted to their new temps. At least the bud sites jump at ya when they are that damn bright haha. Seems all my girls do this cause they are not used to the temp drop with lights off. Well here's a couple pics.

[pushit]

Week 2 of flower. I figured out why the temps were dropping so low. I usually keep the ac on powersaver mode so it stays close to the same temp in the room. While taping over the temp display, I accidentally pressed the mode button so it was getting too cool when the lights went out. Found and fixed the problem right after I posted pics last week. So now we are back on schedule. GWS is still having calmag issues. It's always something haha. Well here are some pics i just snapped with the lights off. I need to get my ass in there and arrange them better.

Week 3 of flower. Same old same old. I will post individual pics starting next week. Been a little busy lately and barely got a couple pics before and the starting of the lights coming on. GWS is still having issues due to me neglecting and not treating with calmag yet. I will get around to it sooner or later haha. At least the other three look ok. Well here's a couple pics.

Nice! Those bud-sites are starting to pop! :cool:

Do use molasses for the cal & mag?

Thanks EC! They are starting to come around finally. I usually try to use the molasses for calmag issues but sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. It's not helping the GWS at all. Might have to just break down and use what I'm suppose to use haha. Seems almost every grow I get one plant that has issues. I think if i was out of smoke i would baby everything and make sure they all look good but with this being just some rejects that I was gonna just scrap anyways, I'm not very motivated haha.

This is my cheapest grow in a long time. I'm using a 2 or 3 year old htgsupply 400 hps ($150 new) and good old $10 a bag MG soil. Usually I'm using 28 dollar bags of FFOF and running multiple lights. That's why you see all the white science fair boards. My grow area has shrunk down for these little girls. haha

[tlranger]

You can talk cheap, but it's a nice looking group of healthy girls

Thanks tlranger!

Trust me they look good from a distance but once you get up close it's another story haha. Two plants look good and two not so good. The LSD must have fallen over several days ago and just got noticed last night. It's so stretched out the buds are probably gonna be pretty airy. The GWS probably wont have any big fan leaves left by the time it's done and might look like the first pic of this thread haha. The other two(which I have plenty of already in jars) look great. Aint that a bitch haha. I will try individual pics Friday and show what they look like from my point of view.

[tlranger]

Just know when I saw great white shark, I'd have to pay attention from the beginning. First time I had that stuff, couldn't find a way to leave the parking lot.

[EvilCartman]

How goes it? ;)

[pushit]

How goes it? ;)

I scrapped everything about three weeks ago. I thought I'd have enough time to finish them before I moved but things happened faster than i thought. I should be rocking and rolling with my new setup by November or so. Gotta give it a little time to do some research on my new surroundings haha. I moved about 5 hours away so there's a lot of going back and forth getting things set up the way I want it and just didn't have time for them. Here's a couple pics from 5-31 that i took right before they got cut and thrown out haha. They were just starting to crystal up a little.

That's a shame, I think I would've shed a tear or two. They look great in the pics. :thumbsup:

Hope all goes well in the new place, settling in and all. :)

They were ok for what they were put through. New places suck cause that always means a lot of remodeling. Since I do it all myself, it takes a lot of time to get everything the way I want it. And I'm pretty picky when it comes to the living area haha. Tv mounts(no visible wires), rerunning plumbing, adding electrical, maybe knock out a wall here and there cause i like big rooms. haha. Seems endless when you start. So needless to say, the growroom will be the last thing to get running but im ready to pop some seeds haha. Just gonna take my time with it and get it set up right the first time and kick back and enjoy it. That's the plan anyways haha.

Best of luck in the new digs, Bub.
