Pure Power Plant, day 60 of 12/12

[Nochowderforyou]

high,

Hello fellow growers, this is my first post here at the Cannabis Cafe. I am on my third grow right now and this time around I'm growing Power Plant. She is on day 60 of 12/12, after 3 weeks of veg. Vegged under 100W of CFL's then flowered under a 150hps. I used just basic soil from Wal-mart and basic ferts, but my next grow I will be hopefully using better ferts than Miracle Grow and Plantsmart.

So ya, let me know what you people think. I looks forward to sharing with you, later! Peace.

Welcome to the Forum.

My name is HARD ON :)

Those plants dont look like much but all that you did, I say it looks pretty damn good.

Add a few more watts of juice and a few more weeks of veg and you could prolly quadruple your yeild next grow.

The bud looks so very impressive.

I hope it smokes real well for ya!

Keep us updated, please.

Sincerely,

HARD ON

[BobBong]

that looks great!! reminds me of the one i did on my first grow...

just goes to prove that you can grow a plant any size

[HARDDON]

Fuck I'm convinced.

Nice....

No running out of room there eh?

[HARDDON]

Shit bobbong...

grow myself 50 of those plants and i could have a nice fricken harvest.

you remember the weight on that bud??

[oldhag]

how much harvesting can u get from 1 plant?

[HARDDON]

Anywhere from a pound or two on the high end to a few joints worth on the low end.

All depends on how you grow it.

BTW...

LUV THE NAME YOU OLDHAG.

Hell I might name one of my new girls after ewe. :D

[oldhag]

what do you mean by new girls. How many babies are you having

[HARDDON]

Oh I guess you didn't hear OLDHAG...

I am having quintuplets.

So I am preparing myself for 5 new girls........

Wanna know what I gonna name them?

:D:D:D:D:D

Hey there,

I like the name Hard On, it's so blunt (no pun intended) and forward.

Ya I agree with you here, the yeild is not really that bad for the amount of time it's taken. The last grow I did was WW, and after only 2 weeks of veg I still managed to harvest a 25gram, top cola, that was nice and potent. I'm kind of dissapointed over the yeild. I'll get about 15-18g's from the top cola. It's about the size of a beer can. I still have about 1ft height space left over, I didn't let it veg for near long enough. That's just a lot of wasted space when I could have filled it up with buds.. :)

It's alright, I do this just for the pure fun of it. I love doing it. It's in a small grow space. About 2.5 square box. Has ventilation and a fan blowing in there. Keeps the temp at about 23degC. Good air circulation is a key factor to growing in my opinion.

I think I'll keep the current lighting I got. I heard you want at least 50W of light per sq. ft, which I have. I just need better ferts, and longer veg time. Oh well, looks potent, can't wait to smoke.

I'll update again near harvest to show you what you people think. Thanks for the replies! Keep smokin.

[HARDDON]

Dear Nochowderforyou;

Thanks for the kind reply.

Man half an ounce for 2 weeks of veg?????????

That is nothing to be dissapointed about.

Shit I am seriously thinking of doing about 30 of those.

Nothing wrong with that at all.....

Seems alot easier than growing these bushes and dealing with all the hassle....

but yes, it is a labor of love indeed.

THanks and please keep us updated.

Nice talking with you:)

Sincerely,

HARD ON

[Nochowderforyou]

A half ounce about, that's what I'm guessing. I'm going to top this girl next week so the lower buds can florish and finish. I'll have 2 harvests instead of 1.

Next grow I think I'll be scrogging. Sounds like a good way to get maximum grow with very little space, but I really need to get my hands on some better ferts. Maybe organic next time?....I don't know, I'll see.

Plus I have my outdoor ladies growing right now. I'll post some of those monsters later. Peace.

[HARDDON]

I have been so pleased with Bat Guano as the natural fertilizer.

Never a problem.

Look forward to seeing the outdoor monsters.

[Nochowderforyou]

Bat Guano sounds good. I just read a story in HT mag where they took a trip to Jamaica and one of the growers they interviewed said, most Rasta in Jamaica use Bat Guano as their choice of ferts.

Thanks for the suggestion man. Peace.

[Nochowderforyou]

UPDATE:

Here are a few more pictures of the topped plant. As you can see from my first post in this thread, the pictures show the top cola a week before I chopped it.

Here are now a few pictures, 3 weeks after the cut, of the remaining plant. It suffered some slight nute burn, but I'm in the midst of flushing now and the remainder of the plant will be coming down in a few days.

Final Report
nutes
*8-7-6 after 2 weeks growth(from seed)
*10-15-10 after 5 weeks growth
*15-30-15 after 7 weeks growth

Time
-Vegged for 3 weeks
-Flowered for approx. 67 days(1st harvest)
-Flowered for another approx. 20 days, a total of=87 days(final cut, July, 20/05)

Yeild
Well for only growing one plant, I got 10g's from the top cola, and I'm hoping to get another 5-8g's from the rest. The yeild could have been bigger if I had given it more veg time. I am now starting my frist scrog and I'm hoing to double, maybe triple my next yeild. I'll have Big Blue, Lowrider, and Rockbud this time around, germinating has already started

Lights
100W of CFL's for veg time
150hps for flowering time
All lights have homemade reflectors on them, made of out sheet metal, and there is a fan mounted over top of the reflectors/lights and plant, to keep things at a nice 22deg C.

Space
I don't have any pictures of my setup, but 1 plant was grown in a space 2ft square. The height of the plant before the first cut was about 1.5 ft in height. After the cut, the plant is now no bigger than pop can, but has nice, hard, potent buds on them.

Okay, I think that is all. Check out the pictures, I will snap a few more when I cut it. I snipped off the fan remaining fan leaves to speed up the flushing process. That's all, let me know what you think, improvements, whatever...peace

[HARDDON]

I think you did an awesum job,

Get 30 of those going and that'll be one hell of a harvest.

In fact, next grow...i gonna try something based off your grow.

Nice :)

[Nochowderforyou]

Hey thanks for the compliments Hard-On.

I snapped a few last pictures of her before I murder her tomorrow morning.

OH God i am gonna be sick,....

that is such a brutal way to put it....roflmao

i was high last night thinking the same thing...about how i gonna feel when i kill cunt and whore.

i got really stoned and paranoid the other night here reading about some helicopters and I had one over my house that day and it had a camera unit on it....flew right the fuck over the outside plants....

so i was so high, i went out at midnight andd yanked every one of them up and out of the ground. out of the 8 i had, only one was male....

but funny thing was, i was so paranoid i didnt give a shit about the plants...i did feel bad though the next day and still my heart is saddened.

Hey....let her sit in darkness for the last 24 hours or even 36.....

It will increase THC levels.

Really sweet.... 1/2 ounce for that..... X 30.......... hmmmmmmm....

[Nochowderforyou]

Ya, I already unplugged my timer and all, she's sitting in the dark and has been since 9am this morning. So I'll get up tomorrow morning, very slowly, and by noon I'll kill her.

I use to get bummed out when I had to harvest, but now that I know how rewarding it is to smoke her sweet leaf,I enjoy giving her the axe.

ROFLMAO...

All of a sudden I get a visual of Jack Nicholson in The Shining except its chowder heading to the plant with an axe....

Poor baby girl... :(

Kiss her and love her goodbye first.......She's been a good lil bitch for ya.

Sweet man. Just the type of thread I'm looking for to help with my next grow. Going to put this one in the Favs.

Thanks! I'm glad I could be of help :cool:

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

Those look so small? How do you get 10g's from that lil plant?

[Nochowderforyou]

The cola itself was the size of a beer/pop can, trimmed and dried. That's how it was 10g's ;)

The rest of the plant was 5g's, trimmed and dried. Only a half ounce this time around :( I've done better.

[HARDDON]

I am going to show you guys how to do a SOG grow in 10 weeks time frame.

I am building the units now.....and wont start untill cunt and whore are done.

But you will enjoy this and those of you stuck with tiny grow spaces will thank me.

Gimme nuther day or so to show you setup :)

[latewood]

wow, what a thread! nice grow chowder...tender loving care & pot to spare...I might try some too.

[nakedgunner]

im think about buying pure power plant. but u only got 10gs from 1 plant if i let it veg longer do u think i could get an ounce or more out of it.

[HARDDON]

If he had let it grow 40 days, he could get 4 ounces :)

But who the hell wants to wait that long to get stoned????

hehehhehehehhe

[Nochowderforyou]

I know, a shitty yeild :( It was more than 10g's, the top bud itself was 10g's...the remainer was about 5g's, so a half ounce yeild ...It is a high yeilder but I only vegged for a couple of weeks. I switched to 12/12 when she was maybe 6inches tall. You could easily get an ounce or more if properly grown and cared for. This was my third sucessful grow. I just wanted to see if I could produce anything. Now I know I can, I'm letting things get a little bigger, more wattage, different soil mixes...I just need to take one step at a time. Follow my other thread, "I invite you into my garden...please join me"...that thread I'm having a journal, updated every week, so people can follow my current grow. More watts now and I'm getting a bit more brave as growing is concerned.

Thanks for the input, peace and keep growing.

[HARDDON]

Chowder, I am basing my next grow off of this. I should have pics as soon as I muster the balls to kill the CUNT.

But I am going for a SOG grow here....21 days of veg only.

If I can pull 1/4 ounce outta each bud I will be a happy camper.

Tell me....how did the bud stone you?

Did the short 21 day veg cycle affect potency,..in your opinion?

Thanks

Sounds cool man, I'll be looking forward to your achievements from that.

The stone was, okay quality. It took about 6 bong rips for me to get stoned. Not super stoned, but, a comfortable stone. If I had to rate it from 1-10, I would say it was about a 7. Meh...not good, not great. It compared nothing to WW I grew last time :eek: Whew, that shit could take an elephant down.

The top cola is still curing and I'm gonna start smoking on that tonight. I'll snap a pic, she frosted up reeeeal nice.

But the remainder of the plant I smoked after maybe 3-4days of curing. When first inhaled, I could feel a slight sting on the back of my throat, but once in my lungs it was okay. No harsh coughing, comes out smooth, but harsh going in. It tasted a little green, over ripened in my opinion. I let her live too long I think. It had a nice floral taste to it. Not bad, could have been better.

I also made the mistake of transplanting during flowering :o A big no no, which I have learned twice about now. So this time around I'm transplanting during vegging so she is in 100% good health, and happy home when she hits 12/12.

I don't think short veg time had a really big effect on potency. It had a huge effect on yeild, obviously, but I think if a person keeps that plant in good health, no matter how short the veg time, it can come out just as potent if grown with 60days veg or 20days veg. A lot has to do with ferts too. I was using this small tub of chemical, blue, crystal shit, that I got for under $4. Sure it works, but I can use better. I want to use healthy shit for my plants, no more "good-enough" attitude

I have already changed my choice in ferts. I took your suggestion and went for some bat guano. I'm using all organics this time, and I'll be going to the garden store within the next few days to pick out some healthy medium for the plant.

Peace. :cool:

[nobiee420]

look foward to the pics man!!!!

[HARDDON]

The MJ plants just LUV bat guano tea.

I really like the way the guano settles on top of the soil layer...forming a silt sorta on top.

Then when you rewater, it carries it down each time.

Also, you can get the bat guano in different strengths or npk ratios for the seasons.

And of course, 100% organic.

[TokerOfGreenville]

How would you use bat guano to fert? Would you mix it with water when you want to fert? And does it mix pretty well?

[HARDDON]

Its organic so it is very versatile....

You can mix right in with the soil.....not needed however if you have great soil...

Or you can add it to your water. pH down it, then feed.

Particularly I like to mix it wiht the water, let it cook in the sunlight for a day, they water as normal with the tea.

It mixes well but still leaves a fiberous blanket down. Really sweet.

[TokerOfGreenville]

Cool cool. As long as they seel high N and high P guano in supermarkets or gardening stores I'm going to go with that. Great advice.

[HARDDON]

I have only bought on line...

[nobiee420]

TokerOfGreenville you in Greenville SC???

[TokerOfGreenville]

Sure am.

[nobiee420]

cool then email me im in greenville as well [email protected]
