S12's first ever grow log! ~~

[s12fever]

:thumbsup:

Gonna start from the very beginning... yea

Just wanna say firstly, that i know i should have read BEFORE i do shit not AFTER... i have learned my lesson very well from the good cunts at MJ ! :dance:

Equipment for first week :

18 x bagseeds
6 x 4.5" pots
Some cheap soil
Thrive
Slow-release plant food
15w 1ft flo tube (30 yrs old... used for under car work)
Bedroom wardrobe - about 1 1/2ft wide 2ft long x 3ft tall. Flat white paint surface covered in tin foil - not knowing tin foil is worse than flat white paint.

In my first week with my seeds, i planted them straight into 6 pots. Yes, thats right... 3 seeds in each, not knowing that soon most of my seeds will not live. I must have planted them too deep into the soil, maybe 2" down...

For the first 2 nights i put all 6 pots under the light 24/0 in my wardrobe (not knowing seeds dont need light to germinate, only heat and moisture). Nothing happened.

After those 2 days i put them in the hot water cupboard, since it kept warm in there at all times. Perfect temperature. I watered them all moist and put some plastic wrap over the top with a rubber band to hold it there so the moisture would stay in.

A few days later i saw my first sprout...(damn i was excited), so i kept them in the hot water cupboard for the following days to come.

4/6 pots had sprouted atleast 1 in each pot. I tipped the 2 un-sprouted pots into the garden, while i was doing it i noticed in 1 of the pots, there was a lil sprout, quite deep in the soil, probably an inch or so long and the tip had snapped. Must have been far too deep in the soil....gutted.

Pic#1: 6 pots, no signs of sprouts. Added slow-release plant food (thought it'd help! lol)
Pic#2: Grow room. See how far the light was away? lol
Pic#3: Grow room from outside with cover on
:p

[s12fever]

OK, so my plants have sprouted.

2 pots have 2 sprouts
2 pots have 1 sprout.

They're stretching to the max, they need more light!
So i have a nosey around my dad's garage and find a metal desk lamp & a "safe" lamp made from plastic. I find 2 20w CFL's and put them in.

Now i have a measly (but better) 55w of poo-power. They seemed to really like them, definatly a hell of alot brighter than the 30-odd yr old flo tube!

I've moved to my new grow room. Specs are about 1.1ft wide x 4.3ft long x 5ft tall.

A few days have passed and they're looking a little better. Now i'm using:

2 x 20w CFL's
Fan heater
1 x 15w 1ft flo tube
6 x 4.5" pots with the average soil
A bit too much plant food :o
....

Pic#1: All 6 pots
Pic#2: New grow room
Pic#3: Fan
Pic#4: 3 pots - 1 with 2 sprouts and 2 with 0 sprouts.
Pic#5: 3 pots - 2 with 1 sprouts and 1 with 2 sprouts.

[TokinBaby]

1....move light closer...2 get more lights...3 get more lights....

[s12fever]

The next thing i do is seperate the pots with 2 sprouts, so they won't tangle roots and die!

Also while I am doing that, I transplant the rest into bigger pots. 2 Gallon i think...dunno..

A few days later, I bought a 80w 4ft flo tube w/ ballast.... and another one coming a week or so later. The plants showed major love to this!

So i hooked that up a night after i got it & took away the other peices of shit.

The next morning i seen major improvement. They really seemed to be liking it, and the stems seem to be thickign up a bit from the fan too. Wicked!

At the end of that week, things seem to be OK, they look quite healthy and starting to thicken up a little.

[s12fever]

Later that week they're doing alright and thought its time to name 'em.... even though they don't have sex's yet! Hope it's good luck to name them early, and not bad

They now have 2 x 80w 4ft flo tubes shining down on them.

Pics are of their new names. Dogbud 7000 is looking the healthiest, along with lady and omega. Potty McPot Pot looks like he is about to die!...

[s12fever]

Week 3

OK, so now i have 2 80w 4ft flo tubes and have taken out the fan.
Plants look great! Looking quite bushy now!

Pics were taken today... Potty McPot Pot is looking very well and is recovering from his/her near death experience:p

I just made a 3 week log in less than an hour lol..Will keep yaz up to date!

[s12fever]

1....move light closer...2 get more lights...3 get more lights....
lol read please

[s12fever]

Jdog 7000, Dogbud is looking so nice:D

they're all starting to get a nice, fresh, leavey smell too. mmm:)

[Jdog7000]

Looks like I picked a winner!

[LIP]

They look very healthy *wink wink*...

You might wanna look into why the leaves are browning... Cos they'll go crisp, die and you'll have no plant

[s12fever]

They look very healthy *wink wink*...

You might wanna look into why the leaves are browning... Cos they'll go crisp, die and you'll have no plant

yea i will look into it. Not to worry much though, because i only spotted a couple leaves with brown, and most of them are the clover leaves...
I'm pretty positive it'd be because the room isnt ventilated....But i have a fan arriving in the mail this week, so hopefuly that should fix it.
Pics of this morning coming soon

[s12fever]

This mornings pics. Just had a healthy dose of destilled water...

[s12fever]

see in pic 3, that is the yellowing leaves, there is only 2 plants i noticed that have tiny yellow "burnt" looking spots on them, i dont think it's anything to worry about since im getting the fan soon. :)

The light-green patches are everywhere though,... pic 4 is a closer look ....

[Pothead4204life]

are you using nutes?....

[s12fever]

i did, like a week ago and before that...but ive stopped since i started noticing it!
Hope it goes away...:(

[s12fever]

this mornings pics. Dogbud looks so juicyyy:dance: :thumbsup:

anyone else have any more ideas on how to rid the yellowing? i've already transplanted them into new soil and stopped giving them thrive, fish emulsion and seaweeed extract... any other tips? (without having to buy 100s of bucks worth of equipment;) )

:dance: :dance: :glugglug: :clap:

[s12fever]

:smokin:

[s12fever]

this mornings pics! (saturday) :dance:

dogbud's roots are fucking monsters... dogbud & omega look about the same size, but dogbuds roots look alot bigger and HAIRYer? Hairy/fluffy roots are good or bad?
Lady is a little smaller than dogbud & omega, but roots are much smaller. (clay)

Swizz you were right, the soil is still a tiny bit moist on my 2nd knuckle when poke my finger down. 5 days wait for water though? that seems a bit too long. I havnt watered for 2 days and i will be watering them tonight or tomorrow at the LATEST. i think my room needs alot more ventilation

Anyway....pics......

[s12fever]

:thumbsup:

[s12fever]

Mondays pics(sry i missed a day)... :dance:
looks like the yellowing seems to be dying down on most of them, swizz and lady are still lookin quite yellow..
Dogbuds roots are coming along nicely.Much better improvement than everyone else;)

[s12fever]

:thumbsup:

[scottjamez]

so s12, are these just regs bag seeds? I have been reading up on different people's grow logs to get the most info to do one myself. Although I may have to do it outdoors (not on my land).

Anyone reading this have any advice on outdoor growing in hot humid climate?

[s12fever]

Sorry i cant help you, since i have absolutly no experience in outdoor growing;)
Yes they're the average bagseed, from some pretty dank stuff.

[Tom Swierzbinski]

You need to wait until the soil is nearly dry about 2cm down from the top until you water again. Also, do you warm the water up somehow before watering the plants? I actually find that rainwater works better than tapwater (filtered or not). I guess its the microbes that are in rainwater. How big is yer growroom and is there any ventilation at all? If its quite small (say 2m x 2m x 2m), then just cheking on them three or four times a day will let enough fresh air in.
I read in High Times that you want to warm the water up to 20C, otherwise its like 'dropping cold water on yer nuts' when the water touches the roots. From now on I keep my rainwater on the shelf above the light so it stays nice and warm :)

Cheers peeps :)

[s12fever]

Well good news, my desk fan arrived in the mail today:dance:so i'll chuck that in AND the timer (time for 18/6) later on in the day and take pics of the plant's and the 4 x 20w CFL's i'll be puttign up when they're a bit bigger

[iwantFUEGO]

lol you sound excited now... wait till they get huge and full of bud!

[s12fever]

lol hell yea i'm excited! :p finally starting to get somewhere! I love the veg stage (even though i havnt experienced flowering yet:p) coz there's just so much going on...new leaves everyday sorta thing.:thumbsup:

Todays pics! (teusday) Fan and timer are installed, and timer is set to 18/6 (lights off at 10pm lights on at 4am). Fan osillates(spelling?) too so spreads around the air better. :):dance:

[s12fever]

[s12fever]

There are atleast 15 roots showing in dogbud 7000's drain holes, his roots are alot thicker and longer than all the others.:thumbsup: He is also getting that "greasy" dark green colour i've read that they're suppost to get if they're healthy. :dance: :dance:

:pimp:

[s12fever]

Hey all!:dance: :stoned:

My new project!

I've started a new project, 16 plants outdoors in a secret location, gets a lot of sun and is sheltered by the strong, cold winds we get here at this time of year.

My project consists of growing plants outdoors at such a cold time of year, mainly letting nature do it's thing rather than go visit them every day to see if, as i've read, MJ can withstand pretty much any type of environment.

If this project fails... doesn't bother me, Tis a test.

Materials:
-1.5ft x 1.5ft x 2ft wardrobe w/ flat white paint
-18 dank bagseeds (same as i'm using now)
-2 x 20w tornado CFL's (warm white)
-1 x 18w CFL (cool white)
-1 x 15w (cool white)
-3 x 6 plastic pots; each hole 2 1/2" x 2" x 3" deep.
-1 x Manual timer, set to 18/6 (on at 5am, off at 1am).
Would have it 24/0 but alot of light shows through, so i can sleep properly!

Have just put the 18 bagseeds in a small plastic container, filled with warm water waiting for them to germinate and put in the hot water cupboard, which keeps nice and warm, and always dark. Have also chucked a "bad seed" in there too(white), just for the hell of it. These seeds are quite quick to germinate, usually take about 10-20 hours for the taproot to emerge.

After they germinate, i plan on planting them ( 1/4 - 1/3 INCH DEEP THIS TIME! :o ) lol, in the plastic pot thingies shown in pic for about a week or more, then taking them in my car to this outdoor location.

Here are some pics so far...

Make sure to keep a close eye on how this project goes! :thumbsup:

[mobay]

damn you gonna pimp all those hoes, you must be going for pimp off the year. lookin good Mack 12 :pimp: :pimp: :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

[s12fever]

hahaha.

FIMmed my plants earlier on, and gonna start LST in about 2 weeks.

[s12fever]

Oh yea and my new project, only 2 hav slightly sprouted above soil.

[s12fever]

UPDATE:
Been told by a long time grower that you should do LST and FIM at the same time, so will be starting LST tomorrow morning.

[Garden Knowm]

PICTURES!!! more pictures!!!!!!!!

[s12fever]

PICTURES!!! more pictures!!!!!!!!

lol YES SIR!!!

Todays pics (Sunday)

Started LST on them by using a coathanger chopped and bent, and a compass (lol)

No signs of any new colas appearing from the topping yesterday, i just hope they'll show within the next few days...
Does anyone know on average how long a plant this age should take to show them after being topped?

The black things in the pots are banana peels for added potassium, if you're wondering...

[s12fever]

more

[s12fever]

Week 5 ....... Day is wednesday...

Looking good, 2 plants are 1/2 a foot in height, and the others are not far behind...
Split up another banana peel between them all.

2 New colas from the FIM are starting to show on each plant... yipeee..:dance:

[s12fever]

More pics...

NEW PROJECT

Ok, all except 1 or 2 sprouts are showing out of soil.....

[kush07]

Wow, nice grow so far.

Oh, you really don't need to LST and FIM the same plant. Pruning, FIM or topping, causes stress to the plant. While this method does release the hormones that allow for branching it is more traumatic. Bending your plants will release these same hormones without putting additional stress on your plants. Another thing, not sure if you know or not but FIM or topping does not increase your overall yeild. In fact it has been shown to reduce yield in some cases and in others to show very little effect. Anything I said here was not meant to be in any shape, fashion, or form condescending.

Good luck and happy growing.

Happy Toking :rasta:

[s12fever]

Not to worry, i've already topped them all about a week ago - started LST a day later but on that same day my brother told me they don't need LST aswell as topped, so i straightened them up once again.

Thanks, peace. :)_

[2MC5]

I think I know why your planet are yellow try not to get the leaves wet sometimes the suns rays burn it P.S just a theory

[s12fever]

I think I know why your planet are yellow try not to get the leaves wet sometimes the suns rays burn it P.S just a theory

K, i dont think you realised this is an indoor grow :P

[noodlesqld]

i just noicticed the cfl's you are using i would advise against those as i have looked around at these lights and i found those phillips ones to be not that good i will show u a pic of my plants tommorow under 4 cfl;s totaling 350 watts i noticed you are in australia and so am I (can tell by the avitar, nice torana =P)
i found some good cfl's at bunnings and the warehouse supprisingly, look for ones witha rating of 6500K and a high luminious efficentcy. my plants seem to be about twice as big as yours and mine are only 18 days old, but this is my fourth or fifth time using cfl's and oh the mistakes i have made not one plant made it to flower yet =(, I aint nokking your grow thou for a first time they are looking great. i will post pics tommorow for your veiwing pleasure....lol peace

[noodlesqld]

shit didnt see those older pics, i was looking at the day thirty five pics yours are much bigger than mine

[noodlesqld]

here are the pics of my 2 week old plant well nearly 3 weeks with weird leaves as u can see the leaves have stuck together instead of forming individual "fingers" they have stayed together.

[s12fever]

thanks, but i bought those with the last money i had, lol must sound like a lil girl saving for lolly money or something, but yea, na im a poor cunt so those were all i could afford...didnt realise the 2 tornado ones were actually warm white, but oh well apparently they work alright. Shouldnt really matter anyway, since they're only gonna be on them for another week or so then planted outdoors.

Hard to tell from that small pic,but its either an rx2 or r100, not an rx3 or torana coz its too small :) na not from aussie, from NZ mate ;) I drive an s12 silvia myself...hence the name...so anyway, you could prob imagine the shit weather im having down here at the mo.

[s12fever]

oooh yes they're lookign very nice!

[noodlesqld]

it definelty is a torana mate im not to sure of the model Ls i think, i know what ya mean about being broke i recently got the sack so i am on the dole now.
the lights i got from the warehouse are the edapt brand and they work supprisingly well and are cheap.

I am sure the ones you have will work also, i only made the comment as i had looked at those and decided not to buy them as the cheaper ones from bunnings and the warehouse have better lumins and light spectrum.

if you are in NZ, how are they gunna go outside being winter now and all, i am waiting till xmas to put some outside or at least the end of september.

check to find out what your sunrise/sunset times are as at the moment here in QLD the night is currently 15 mins longer than the day which is not good for veg growth, tho they will grow i have found that if u plant on or just before xmas u can get them to 6-7ft outside before they start to bud in april-may.

The conditions are likely to be diffrent where u are so i guess its trial and error but i am sure u will get there.

another good tip that i got of this old bloke here in Aus is use heshian bags and fill them up with mushroom compost and lay them on the ground where u want to grow cut hole in the top of the bag and place your plants, do u get what i mean??. after they get to about a foot tall use 1 tspoon if urea (46% N) to 2 litres of water and then once a fortnight use aquasol as per directions on the pack.

i have used these instructions to grow my outdoors for years and have never seen anything better 7ft plants with buds as long as your arm and about as round as you wrist when dry fucking awsome

[s12fever]

Hmmm...i dunno aye, i only just got back from digging aroudn at the place i was gonna plant them, and found out it wont work! There's an inch or so of soft dirt and the rest is hard clay so it wont grow there....gonna have to find another spot...fast!
It is cold i know, and i wanted to plant after 1st september...really, i did! but i'm just too impatient... if they don't grow, it's no biggie...seeds were free anyway. If they do, bonus christmas prezzie. :)

Lol:oto be honest i don't know shit about holdens - i grew up in sydney, & we used to have a bunch of them...they always fucked us over so i never really liked them - thats my excuse anyway :D

How old ru mate?

[noodlesqld]

ok yeah holdens do suck (but it is a torana lol) and you drive what i want. NISSANS rule, i want a 2000 model 200sx.

im 26.

there are soil conditioners that you can get the will break up the clay soil but u will probibly need to plant a while after puting that in the soil. what i said about the compost and hesian bag will help you out a lot.

where i used to live was right in the ocean and the soil was shit for growing so thats why i started using the old blokes suggestion of the hessian bag.

if u can get any good quality soil and fill the bag and lay it down flat try to get enough soil to make the bag about a 30-40 cm thick when laying down,

this is what i would do i would get the soil condidtioner for the clay soil dig it in then level the soil back over the top lay the hessian bag over the top of that hole then plant into the bag after a while the roots will start groing down throught the bag (as it will break down naturaly) by this time the soil conditioners have worked there majic the roots whil have started to grown down into this soil. or you could dig out about a foot of dirt add the conditioners then replace the dirt you dug out with good quality soil then lay the bag down on top of that. either way it should work out ok

either way mate if u plant september first you will only have leaf and tip for xmas as it will be the middle of summer. as i said i put mine in at xmas that way you have to wait about 4 months for bud.

have you seen the OZstoners web site you might get a lil more info there as they know what the conditions are like south of the equator try this out.

i hate waiting for my crop every year so that is why i have decided to grow three or four crops a year indoors as well as my crop outside makes much more sense and i just love watching them grow.

https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/index.php

[s12fever]

There are also alot of those gorse bushes (the really sharp prickly bushes with yellow flowers) around that area and next to where i wanna grow... their roots are thick as hell and hard to break, so i'll prob try find another place to grow...

[noodlesqld]

yeah that might be a good idea lol

[s12fever]

Hmm....i had a thought before...a pretty basic one lol...
I could just put them into big pots or buckets and hide them well... Would that work with a big sized pot? i dont c why not...

[noodlesqld]

yeah it would, i have done one where i cut the bottom out of large pots 10-15 litre ones then placed them where i wanted them and added the soil then planted.

but you wouldnt have to cut the bottom out. but remember that you would have to have deep enough pots for them to get to you desired hight i read somewhere that the tap root of the MJ plant is about 1/3 of the overall height (someone correct me if i am wrong).

[s12fever]

Todays pics (Friday).:dance:

Ladys growth seems stunted or something... seems like she's not absorbing the banana peel aswell (see shes the only one with a banana peel that is still yellow)....Hmm, i'm guessing she'll turn out hermie or something lol:(

I took 2 of the 3 6-pot thingies out of my wardrobe and put under the flos that the babies are using... they seem to like it alot more than the CFL's. Now the 6 seedlings left in my wardrobe get the CFL's for themselves :thumbsup:

[s12fever]

more pics

[s12fever]

See the new colas coming through on Trinity i think. Looking lovely :D

[bob bobbinson]

looking GREAT so far.

And GOOOO potty Mc Pot pot :}

[SkunkMe1]

Very nice looking plants s12...

It looks like Trinity got blessed after all, she looks perfect...keep up the good work.

Cheers

[s12fever]

Very nice looking plants s12...

Cheers

cheers. Yes, she's doing very well!

A mate showed me how to FIM, so now i'm a FIM pro :dance: lol, well i know how to do it...very simple.

5 plants had 6 colas - 1 plant had 8 colas.

Tallest plant (potty mcpot pot) is about 15-16cm tall.

[kiwiglowbug]

Hey guys. It's a torana ok. I drive a baby godzilla, so yeah nissans rock. Those cfl's your using are hardly worth bothering with but better than nothing. Colour spectrum is wrong and output so low I would'nt use on anything over 10 days old.budget is what budget is tho eh.POting mix solves your out door soil proplem easy but again budget. Indoors two out doors in nz is something I do Quite a bit. S12 I think you are further south than me and putting those youngsters out side wont make happy plants.Its still to cold and as they are young going from 18hrs of light to like 10 or 11 will make them go into bud imediatly ,great but unfortunatly as they are young they will struggle with the cold and low light therfore taking there time developing buds and then as the days get longer they will get the signal to go back vege growth.End result confused plants that never really do it. I find old mature mother plants planted out now are so ready to go to bud they do well, but again depending on what the weather does, if summer comes on Quickly It can make for loose buds. Its a bit off a case off try ya luck and see what the conditions do weather wise.Im about to plant out 3 month old stong clone's which should give me a good reward.By being older larger they are strong enough to handle the cold shock and go straight to bud. By being older they are chemicly very ready for reproduction and so hiting them with low light times and levels makes them go to bud very fast hopefully geting it over and done with before the days get to long and make for a confused plant that stops trying to finish. A good strain helps.No doubt we will be talking again. Remember the only thing you can wrong is to not try at all!

[bob bobbinson]

hmm my namesake is the tallest? not looking good for potty McPot pot. hope shes not a he. :mad:

[noodlesqld]

nice advice kiwiglowbug

[mobay]

s12 i see your doing it big time , nice work keep it up.

[s12fever]

Kiwi - thanks alot mate ;) good to see another kiwi stopping by.. yea, tis quite cold down here but the days are definatly starting to perk up - the bad frosts have gone and i'm not living in canterbury so i don't need to worry about all that snow... but i like what you said "the only thing you can do wrong is to not try at all" :)

Bob - not looking good? do male plants grow faster than females or something? lets just hope its a sheeee;)

Mobay - Good to see ya stopping by....cheers, will get pics up today.

[bob bobbinson]

Its been said that males grow tallest/fastest. I know that with my grow, that was true.

[BukDatAss]

I know LOL goood job on the new grow, the fun is only starting my friend.

[s12fever]

Its been said that males grow tallest/fastest. I know that with my grow, that was true.

eeeek, poor potty :( lets just pray...

Todays pics! (Tuesday). Week 6 of veg.

My new outdoor project: Seedlings are 2 weeks old.

[s12fever]

more pics....

This is the fert i'm using every 'other day'....

[noodlesqld]

concerning the ferts i have found that aquasol (if u can find it) or regular thrive to be quite good for flowering it has something like 13 percent Nitrogen 20 something percent potassium and about the same of phosphuros, both these should be can be brought from auastralia or NZ woolworths or any hardware store i have used dynamic lifter before and it tended to burn my plants and slowed there growth

Looking good thou s12 awsome grow:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[s12fever]

Thanks buddy :D :D. Yep i have some thrive here, and a big BIG bunch of bottles for flowering, all types of gardening, etc!! I'll hav a closer read of them some time. :)

[s12fever]

slowed their growth??? :( :( shit.

Hmm....

I'll try the thrive from now on then. :D :D

[noodlesqld]

yeah that stuff and osmocote slow release ferts had detrimental effects on a few of my previous grows but i guess if u start with a lil bit and build it up it should be ok.

[s12fever]

yeah that stuff and osmocote slow release ferts had detrimental effects on a few of my previous grows but i guess if u start with a lil bit and build it up it should be ok.

yea, bout 30 mins ago i was mixing the thrive with water and my mum showed me that osmocote slow release ferts but i told her they hurt mj...

i read the list of nutes in the thrive and then in the other stuff ive been using...


Thrive has alot more! ;)

[noodlesqld]

so how are they going s12 i bet they are kicking ass like the all blacks

[s12fever]

so how are they going s12 i bet they are kicking ass like the all blacks

hahaha, yea all blacks are fucking unstoppable ;)

Yea man, doing really well! Although their growing has been stunted for the past couple of days due to the FIM on the sec. nodes, they're really starting to show their progress...! Yep, doing very well.

Also on my project.... the 11 (1 didnt sprout) in my wardrobe with the 6 main plants, under the flo's are doing alright....A couple seem to be having small troubles but nothing too major.

But DAMN, the 4 (2 didnt sprout) in my bedroom wardrobe, under the 4 x 20w CFL's, they're doing great!! 1 of them is huge...growing really fast and shit, the others not too far behind.

I don't know if it's from the red spectrum in the warm white cfl's or not, but there's heaps of RED dots on their leaves?! I'm pretty sure this isnt a bad thing, coz they're so healthy! and damn, they smell so strong already... :)

[s12fever]

pics!

Oh yea, when i had a look at them this morning, i found a WEED growing in 1 of the pots?!!? 1 of those clover-leaf weeds that grow in most gardens... how the hell did that grow there...

See the red on the 4 baby girls leaves? :)

Will be planting the kiddies outdoors over the next week, when i buy some more soil ! :D can't wait.

[noodlesqld]

yeah i see the red should look around i heard somewhere that it might be a S definecybut they look almost big enought to transplant anyway so the new soil might corect the problem for ya

[noodlesqld]

damn them ones under the fluro are looking nice.
could u get the light down to within 5 cm's from the tops what will help them grow tight nodes (not much of a gap between them) i have my cfl's practiclly touching the leave and they have only ever got a lil burnt tip on one leaf and they havnt streached that much either :)

Yea, na i can't aye...you have to remember the other plants are there too ;) potty and dogbud are already touching the fluros. Thanks though. :D

[noodlesqld]

yeah i noticed that after i posted sorry.... lol

[s12fever]

Hmm...I'm hoping that the red is just part of the strain, and the buds & leaves turn out all purpley and red....

A man can dream... ;)

[noodlesqld]

yeah very true. the plant that i pointed out on my thread has slight purple stems but i know that this is not a defiency as the fert i use (very similar to that thrive u got) has everything

[s12fever]

bump........got my 10 free White Widow seeds from some chick in Turkey today, it was suprisingly well packed for free seeds, in a small plastic tube in a zip lock bag, wrapped in a small real-estate magazine lol.

I wish i had room to grow them....ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[s12fever]

oh yea and, she's selling a big list of beans including 'White Willow' , 'NYC diesel' , heaps of others for only $25 + $5 posting. PM me if you want her email and the list of seeds.
She is also selling NYC diesel feminised seeds for $75+$5 postage.

[CFLMaxYeild101]

s12fever,i can relate to the purpley redness you got goin on with those seedlings as i too had them on 2 of my plants that turned out male,not tryn to hijack your thread but heres a little pic of one of mine that was the same way.But it did grow out of it though

[s12fever]

Haha, a male? shit. Well thats a downer.. well it'll be planted outside in the cold weather so it'll probably die anyway. HA. fuck im pissed

Fuck though, did yours smell really potent when it was young? coz shit fella, mine stink like skunky nugs (no shit!) is that normal or am i just crazy

[s12fever]

Have FIM'd/topped them again so that's probably why they've been stunted over the past few days...

Also had to trim off Swizz's top fan leaves coz it was blocking alot of the light to the primary cola..

My outdoor project - seedlings

The two white 6x pot thingy (1 is empty - didnt sprout) has been under the 2x80w of flo's in my grow space along with my main plants.

The green one has been under the 4x20w CFL's (2x warm white, 2x cool white) in my bedroom wardrobe. (2 didnt sprout) They're doing amazing! - and they smell so strong for seedlings!

[s12fever]

more pics.....

[s12fever]

sorry about the pics...was real dark so had to brighten them up heaps...

And if you're wondering what the orange stuff is, it's orange & manderin skins

Ga Grown

[noodlesqld]

damn thats sweet, i am not game enought to try and buy seeds through the mail... what was it like, the whole experiance of buying them i mean, who from, how much, how long etc.

[s12fever]

damn thats sweet, i am not game enought to try and buy seeds through the mail... what was it like, the whole experiance of buying them i mean, who from, how much, how long etc.

Off a website forum like this, except they allow you to straight sell/swap/buy seeds off their seedbank. My brother told me about it and said it's really good, but it takes fucking ages to post a single post so i don't use it - only to seed-scav hahaha:thumbsup:
Was very simple mate, i asked 2 seperate people who claimed to be giving away / selling seeds if i could have a few - the first one (BBxNL f1) took about a month overall, because he had to go to hospital apparently; but he had a pictue of him in his 'profile' so i could trust him. They were packed in a ziplock bag, inside a CD case, inside a cardboard parcel - 11 seeds. very tidy.
The other one i simply asked the same...She said she's giving away a big list of seeds, x5 per person so i chose White Widow ... they arrived about 2 weeks later - She gave me 10 seeds instead of 5 ( :) ) and they were packed in a small plastic tube inside a ziplock bag and in a plain envelope with a note saying what strain it is. Also really good delivery...

The chick that gave me the WW's has her own buisness since 2004, selling seeds,feminized seeds,hash,bubblehash,bud by mail and is completly legit... She also had a pic of herself in her 'profile' but the best thing about her, and how i knew she was completly legit, was she sent me a link to SSUK magazine which had a pic of her in it, holding up some big dank nuggies...

lol shit, 1 simple question and i type all this shit..

i'll PM you both their emails

[s12fever]

k....it says i can't PM you lol.

[email protected] - guy gave me the BBxNL f1 sent from texas. Don't mention my name, just say "I heard you were giving away free beans, could i have a few mate?" or something...
[email protected] - Chick who gave me the WW's sent from Turkey. Don't mention my name, say same as above.

2nd person also sells packs of beans (lots of strains, including Durban Poison, etc) $25 US for 10 - and feminized for $75 US for 10

[s12fever]

Just started my 6 plants on LST - Finally!!!

[noodlesqld]

thats weird that u cant pm me I will look in to it....

you will have to take some pics of the LST'd plants i am realy intrested how it turns out for ya as i would love to do that next. not to sure might sog or scrog

Yea, i was gonna take LST pics but a mate told me i should re-do it, because at the moment they're only being held horizontally by parts cut off coathangers, 1 in each pot, which'll cause alot more stress on them. So i'll be re-doing it with string and duct-tape (on the pots lol) and taking pics soon! :dance:

[noodlesqld]

sweet... cant wait

i just uploaded some pics on my thread if u want to check it out they arent good quality though i need a new cam

[s12fever]

MY OUTDOOR PROJECT

Things are looking good. A few have strange looking leaves but they seem to be healthy enough. As for the 4 in my bedroom wardrobe, they're still looking fucking marvelous.

Now that my car's fixed, i should have them all planted in my outdoor spot over the next 1-2 days! Have bought a 35ltr bag of thrive soil for them, and cut the bottoms off about 15 pots ranging from 2.5ltrs to 5ltrs. I'm all set.:thumbsup:

~~~~~Will take pics of the process when i'm ready to take 'em outdoors!! :dance:

[s12fever]

hahahhahaa....isnt my avatar just the best you've ever seen? :D :thumbsup::dance:

LOL

Nice looking plants so how far is this outdoor place???:thumbsup:

Bout 15 mins drive from my place....so i'm gonna have to go there every week or so lol but yea, na should be good!

If they live, they live and provide me with some extra probably poor-thc'd bud for hash (lol) if they die, no big deal. Seeds are free. :)

:dance: :dance:

[iwantFUEGO]

whoa s12, did you work the plants down that far or did you give them one huge tug all at once?

[s12fever]

whoa s12, did you work the plants down that far or did you give them one huge tug all at once?


:o I put them straight horizontally, but when i came back the next morning; they were up about 45* angle lol, they over powered my string and duct tape!!! :p

Safe to say now that they're lower nodes are doing bloody well!!!

Todays pics!! (Wednesday 26th July. 1st Day of week 7 of veg)

havnt updated my thread yet you sound as anxiouse as me to find out the sex of the other plants but still no definent sign yet hopefully tommorow i will be the proud dad of a few more lil ladies...lol

[noodlesqld]

from what i have read, you are supposed to bend them a little each day till you get them to the desired location.... is that what you did or like iwantFUEGO asked did u just bend them all the way over in one go......

[s12fever]

yea...oh well, they seem to be doing fine, and they'll surely do any recovering they need to over the nexy day or two.


Planted 10 of the best looking small plants today !!!!

Fucking jumpin for joy! - just got back and with complete success...!

Could only plant 10 since i ran out of soil, haha...But went very well....! And i'm fucking exhausted, i'll tell ya that lol :p

Comments? Comments? :dance: :thumbsup:

[s12fever]

Just 5 more MJ's to plant outdoors..... gonna have to find a different place hopefully closer to my house to plant them, coz the ground was solid clay about 1ft down.............. :)

[scottjamez]

oh yea, and heres a few pics of the lights i will be installing (to shine light on their sides) when they grow about 1ft tall. 4 x 20w CFL's.

S12... Where did you get that 4 bulb thing that plugs in. Do you remember where you got it at, it would solve some light problems for me.

Thnx

[s12fever]

congrats on the outdoor grow and good luck man hope u get some nice 6-7ft plants. how are your other ladies (fingers crossed) going??

cheers:rasta:
the other 6 are doing pretty good...they started showing signs of burnt leaf tips and curled leaf tips so i flushed them to get rid of any remaining salt build up in the soil...they're still wet this morning but not muddy so they should be alright.
They've grown alot more since last night when i flushed them too!! maybe they just needed a good, heavy dose of water to perk up a bit:thumbsup:

[iwantFUEGO]

hey s12,

just wanted to ask you if there was any particular reason you put orange peels in your pots? never seen any1 do this before.
Thanks

:)

Umm not really, i know banana peels add extra potassium to the grow medium which is 1 of the 3 primary nutrients... orange peels, i just thought "why not?" surely there is some important nutrient in them, and nothing that will hurt my plants :thumbsup:
So real reason, just curiosity i guess:dance:
s12

[s12fever]

I've chucked away the 5 remaining sprouts in the compost :(:( didn't want to do it but i couldn't find a suitable place for them. Hopefully they'll continue living for a while in the compost before dying - give 'em a chance! ....didnt want to slaughter them! poor babies lol.

Also i'm going up to check on the 10 outdoor plants today, so i'll report back here later! :dance:

s12

[iwantFUEGO]

really? is a whole banana peel too much for one plant?

[s12fever]

really? is a whole banana peel too much for one plant?

i'm not sure, probably...since during Vegitative you should give Nitrogen more than any other nutrient...which is why i split the one banana peel into 6 different peices :) :)

[iwantFUEGO]

i dunno, ive been extremely lucky... using MG, ferts, small pot, small lights... for some reason i guess she really wants to give me bud cuz i feel like she never shoulda survived.

how much longer r u gonne veg for?

[s12fever]

how much longer r u gonne veg for?

very tough question lol, i've been thinking that alot tonight, i want atleast 1oz from each plant so i don't want to flower too early... they're about 6-8" tall now, and have been on LST for just over a week(i think)

So what do you think? How much longer should i veg for? 2 weeks? 3 weeks?

:thumbsup:

[iwantFUEGO]

i only vegged mine for 10 days before switching to 12/12...

but if you want a zip from each plant and you have the patience, then i guess give her another 2 weeks...

ont worry about size tho m8, they will grow a lot after you switch them... The first 2 weeks of 12/12 is gonna be one big spurt and then it'll slow down alittle bit...

i cant wait to see what your flowers look like.

yeah i know what ya mean i only vegged mine for about 3 weeks and now they in there second week of 12/12 and they have nearly doubled in size they grow so fast its not funny... they are about 2 foot tall now, but i have not toped them i was thinking of LSTing them this weeked as im not sure if my grow space is big enough

Dogbud7000......is........a male?!!

He has always been the healthiest... found a pollen sac on him this morning, and my brother has here handy to say yes it is one. Just a question..

How the hell did he show sex??? it's still on 18/6 hours of complete uninterupted darkness.... :(

brother said i should also start again...completly...coz the new leaves are going really weird shaped coz i topped them wrong..fuck it, im not starting again :mad: grr fuck im pissed on both cases

[s12fever]

Here's a pic....PLEASE someone say it's a deformed node or something lol...my healthiest plant turns male....that leaves 5 worse-off plants still to determine sex.....pfffft :mad:

wow thats serious magnifycation!... sorry bout the male dude... i'm almost positive thats male...

I dont think you should start over... just switch the rest of the bitches to 12/12... Those sluts should show their sex very soon.
I hope the rest are female :thumbsup:

Yea i know it sucks...gave me a bit of a shock too! But thats just oen thing you have to accept when growing seeds....usually half turn out to be an undesirable trait.

Hahaha. Well i'm fucking excited like a little school girl...I'm transplanting all 5 into their perminent homes tomorrow and then starting flowering!! Fucking pumped, hahaha :o Slaughter dogbuds balls too.... Just curious, i know i'd probably need more but, would dogbud have enough leaves to make some cannabutter? Even if it is only enough to get me high off 1 brownie?

:thumbsup:

[s12fever]

wow thats serious magnifycation!

lol yea, 3 magnifying glasses on top of each other. :)

[iwantFUEGO]

errr... i dunno about the cannabutter. He may still be too young to have trichomes on his leaves. I may be wrong tho...

[s12fever]

Yea true. Oh well, no big loss.

I have an important question about flowering...


Will it be OK if i flower them in the pots they are in now (1.5 - 2.5 ltrs) and then when sex shows, transplant them to their perminent homes? (3-4 gallon buckets) or will they go into shock and go back into veg?


cheers s12

[s12fever]

Nice avatar by the way FUEGO :D

[iwantFUEGO]

thank you sir. :D

I'm by far no expert... but if they were mine, i would transplant them NOW and then veg them on 18/6 for 1-2 days. THEN, when i first started noticing growth again (indicating they are over the shock), then i would safely switch them to 12/12.

A good way to notice this start in growth is this:
When you transplant, immediately after transplanting, tie the main cola down a bit so that its not facing upwards anymore. Once the plant comes out of shock it will bend its own stem so the the main cola is facing up again. This will tell you that the plant has started to grow again.

PEACE

[s12fever]

Hmm.... I'm gonna have to take the risk of the stress causing hermies...because i only have enough room in the wardrobe for 3 big pots (4 possibly...with a very very tight squeeze and the plants using the useless bit of the flo tubes...the ends) so i'll just have to make do. Wish me luck!!!

Omg by the way - last night i added the fan heater i'd used earlier on in my grow - so now it's got the cooler fan + the heater fan .... the temperate shot up from hovering around the 10-15* celcius mark to 28-33* celcius.... and OMG... I checked the plants this morning and they're THRIVING.... clearly they preform better in a warmer environment but SHIT...dunno why i didn't thnk of it before ----- now have the fan heater on 1 side and fan cooler on the other... so the rooms getting good air circulation and the plants thick juicy stems. But shit, biggest improvement overnight i've ever seen!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[s12fever]

OK - JUST FOUND OUT OMEGA HAS MALE PRE-FLOWERS ASWELL.

4 PLANTS LEFT IN THE GROW ROOM.

There is a plus side though..... Now that i have 4 plants left still to determine sex, i can now transplant BEFORE flowering because that'll all fit in !!!

Goodie. No hermies for me! (i hope haha)

Pics!:dance: :dance: :dance:

[s12fever]

more picsssss

[s12fever]

OK so i just went out and bought some....

-Sulphate of Potash (0-0-40) and
-Superphosphate (0-14-0)

Which should both do really well in the floweing phase:thumbsup:!

Also bought 15ltrs of Thrive potting mix, which i will be using to transplant the plants in.....about 30 mins, haha. :stoned:

I'm about to cut up dogbud7000 & omega and freeze the leaves for when i have 3-4oz, then make some cannabutter :dance: :dance: :dance:

[s12fever]

K, they're re-potted into big 4-or-so gallon tubs. They're perfect size and shape; fit very nicely into the grow room (4 of them; potty,lady,trinity,swizz).

Mixed into the tubs:

-Thrive potting mix for main grow medium
-Peat for airation
-Gardening sand + fine gravel for drainage and airation
-Sulphate of potash for potassium (0-0-40)
-Superphosphate for phosphate (0-14-0)

I have put them onto 24/0 and will keep them like this for 1-2 days, then switch to 12/12 to incude flowering.
I've also continued LST on them. As we speak i'm cutting up Omega and Dogbud...Sad to say it, but the bastards had to go.

I will take pics tomorrow morning!!

[s12fever]

Got 1 oz of fresh leaves from Dogbud and Omega... just need about 2-3oz to make some cannabutter. :)

[s12fever]

HIGH ALL!


This morning i noticed alot of growth in Trinity, she's doing really well! Also i love the way Lady has grown - a couple of weeks ago i cut the top fan leaf off her coz it was shading her cola, not long after that i started LST and now look at her - 3-4 colas including primary. She's doing very well for her height! Others look great too. Lets just hope they turn female

The first official 12 hour dark period started about 10 mins ago, so let the flowering begin!!!!:dance: :dance: :dance:

Wadda u guys think?:thumbsup: The pots are about 4gal i think.

**Also, Potty has some white powdery spots on her... i've misted her a couple of times to try get it off but some of it is still there... could this be spider mites, or some other cocksucking bug?**

Mate, the outdoor plants are fucking great! I checked them a few days ago and they're really loving the sun we've been having (today they must be thriving...its so fucking hot!!)

Yep, i switched them to their first official 12/12 light period yesterday at 6pm, so i'm just waiting for the tops to show! Yahooooo!


Hahahah, also... if you guys had forgot, i chucked away my 5 remaining seedlings since i had no room for them... i didnt wanna slaughter them so i put them in the compost (which gets no light). I checked them today (about 1-2 weeks after chucking them) and 2 or 3 are gettign really big ! they look really healthy too! hahaha, wasnt expecting that with no light! :thumbsup:

[noodlesqld]

Lol na, one of the people that was giving away free beans went fucking nuts at me coz he must have seen his email on this site hahaha. Whoops.

The other one might. Email her [email protected], im not sure if shes still giving them away, but is selling them for $25 per 15 (or 2 packs, get 1 free) so if i were you, i'd say "I'm interested in buying some seeds. Can i have a few just so i know they're good quality?" Hehehe. :dance:

[slowthestone]

ha...I dig that thermometer ya have there fever.

I suggest some string...and dangling it from the light to somewhere closer to the leaves. Least thats how I do the digital I've got here. Omgosh...what a steal too! $7 at wallyworld...

Getting highs and lows of the temps and humidity is a feature I like quite a bit.

Anyhoo...I dig the one ya have, and those bucket/containers you've recycled!!...the grow is looking nice. :cool:

Ya spoilt bugger...$7?! hahaha jk, looks good! Might get one, when i get a bit of dough

Oh yea!! Am putting in my 4way light with the 2x warm white cfls and 2x cool whites over the next day or two.... its a real tight fit, so i'll be mounting it onto the side, that is about 33cm (width) since the end bits of flo tubes don't put out much light anyway. :)

damn busy servers LET ME POST!

[noodlesqld]

yeah man putting that in will help, i have noticed a maked improvemnt of lateral growth with the cfl's on the side.

[BukDatAss]

Thats good price I shouldve bought that one instead at the one in HD that crap got messed up twice already so I just did even exchanges on them:D :D :thumbsup:

Lol na, one of the people that was giving away free beans went fucking nuts at me coz he must have seen his email on this site hahaha. Whoops.

The other one might. Email her [email protected], im not sure if shes still giving them away, but is selling them for $25 per 15 (or 2 packs, get 1 free) so if i were you, i'd say "I'm interested in buying some seeds. Can i have a few just so i know they're good quality?" Hehehe. :dance:

hehehe i might try that one.. even if it doesnt work out 25 per 15 is a pretty good deal ill email her now and see whats up... thanks for the heads up bro

[s12fever]

sorry if someone asked a question or something....my computer wont load lol took me like 5 minutes to open this reply....

OK, so it looks like potty mcpot pot is a hermie, but i'm waiting another week or so to make sure im 100% right...... looks like he has a stigma coming from 1 side and a pod coming from the other...... here's some pics --- the magnifycation is the best i could get so it might be hard to make out....

i've also been told some female plants make 'fake' pods but they're still female? this confused me...

[s12fever]

OUTDOOR GROW

Well, thats over lol.....

Went back there today and someone had dug up the 7 plants that were in 1 spot and left the pots laying there but left the other 2 (in a higher spot) still there.... the 2 that remain these are looking very healthy but are starting to yellow which is definatly a nitrogen deficency so they'll probably die sooner or later --- as i said before i started, no big loss..

THE THING THAT FUCKS ME OFF IS why the hell would someone steal 7 SMALL PLANTS... i mean shit, they would have been 2 inches tall MAX..."OMGGGG I FOUDN SOME WEED PLANTS THEY'RE HUGE OMFG!!!!!!11111ONEONE!!!!!!!112121`122331`SHIT OMG" fucking pricks....hope karma bites them in the ass sooner or later

lol im done :)

[s12fever]

Lady + Trinity are dead - were both males.
Potty is female.
Swizz is yet to be determined.

[noodlesqld]

damn sorry to hear about the outdoors, fucking wankers.

i am really sorry to hear about the males that sucks just as bad as someone stealing them well almost.

[s12fever]

yea. oh well these things happen.

i'm pretty sure swizz is a female too...so i have 2 females left.

I might clone 1 or 2 off potty but i'll haveto get some rooting gel and shit first.

:thumbsup:

[bud breath420]

hey s12 still a good grow with 2 females man.. yeah i think cloneing would be the best idea for you lol anyways man keep up the good work.. ps your only useing flouros? arent you? my grow under them realy took off !! So did yours sorry man i just love to see them grow under something so simple!! maybe il show you some pics of mine sometime anyways bro..PEACE!!

[s12fever]

yep wicked.
yea i know aye!! People using HPS and MH always say "you cant use fluoros, they don't put out enough light" well they don't know shit, hah.

Since i only have 2 lants now, and theres a ton of space left in there, i'm gonna definatly add those 4x20w CFLs (2 warm white 2 cool white) to the middle of it also! the warm whites should definatly help some! :dance:

keep yaz posted.

[s12fever]

Well, i'm in a good mood today!

Just installed the CFL's and they're positioned perfectly !!!

I think i'll clone 1 female... 2 maximum...yea, i think i'll clone 2 :P :P but yea, coz the room's perfect in there with only 2 mother plants - should be fine with 2 small clones too.

Picciez!

[noodlesqld]

looking good bro. cloneing sounds like the idea. I am going to do that on my next grow, gunna veg for 3 weeks then turn them as soon as they go female. then straight into the Mothers room and thats were they will stay. I will be shooting for about 2-3 ounces or 56- 84 grams every 2.5 months "hopefully" anyway.

puting those cfl's in will make a big diffrence i think, cant wait to see how they go.

how long from turning to 12/12 did you see there sex??

on mine one went female after about a week then 3 days after that 2 went male, but the last one has taken nearly a month to "prove" itself a female and not a hermie. I am expecting a much bigger yeild off that one though.

I personally noticed only 1 sign of a female on potty about a week into 12/12, but i DIDNT look on the heads - only on the nodes......when my BROTHER showed me the heads 2 were definate males (about day 10 of 12/12) ... big bunches of pods in the heads and nothing AT ALL on the nodes, so thats definatly taught me a lesson.... DONT JUDGE SEX BY THE NODESSSS!!!

lol

wicked.... i love the old audi quattros, as im sure everyone does lol. I'm not too familier with the new ones, they seem a little too out of my price range to be even looking at :p

I drive an 85 nissan silvia s12 (gazelle)...stock ca20e, few minor mods...nothing too major. it drifts, but not a "DRIIIFT!!" you know? lol. rainy day styles.

But i'm importing, from aussie...in a few weeks (wooo!) a ca18det engineered 85 silvia s12 hatch, s13 sidesirts, 2-way lsd, huge fmIC, loads of extras

Might get some pics up here when ive bought it :D:D

PLEASE HELP!!! SHIT FUCK ---- PLEASE!

My plants have gone really droopy!!! the leaves are dramatically droopy just overnight...they were fine yesterday !!!!!! can it be from the new lights i installed???? i saw on DVD that plants droop like this from UNDERWATERING... but ive been watering them every 2-3 days and using a pH/moisture/light meter on them and it says its "WET!" but its probably broken or something...

FUCK !!!!! i have the feeling they are gonna die over the next day or 2... THEY'RE THAT BAD!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP !!!

[s12fever]

heres some pics so u have an idea!!!!!!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEULP! DEFCON 5 BITCHES!

[iwantFUEGO]

dont worryits alright... they wont die.. my leaves have been droopy for the entire life of the plant and its still alive... bout to harvest! =D

damn dude that hatchback sounds sick but im not familiar with the nissan silvia... maybe you can throw some pics up.
i tried putting pics of mine but the filesize was too big =\

As for the ladies... i would not water them for an extra day or two as you might have overwatered a tad... but thats just my guess since your meter reads "wet".

God is love.
Peace

Hmmm, yea, well, i'll just have to wait till my bro comes around this arvo and checks em out. Until then, i'm leaving the door open and the fan on full. Do you think it could be from a 'heat shock' or something? Coz yesterday, with the normal lights it usually hangs around 55-60*F and now with the other CFL's its around 70-75*F.

Yea man i'll post up a few pics of my s12, and the one i'm importing in a sec. :thumbsup:

[s12fever]

This is the ca18det s12 i'm importing :D

Mods:

1985 gazelle 5 speend manual
exedy brass button clutch
ca18det-only done under 100,000 kays
big front mount cooler
3 inch exhaust
s13 front coil overs
king springs in the rear with koni adjustables
turbosmart tyre 1 bov
15/6.5 inch wheels
locked diff.

my mistake, no 2-way lsd :(

:D

[s12fever]

And here's my dirty stocker :p

[s12fever]

apparently the ca18 was dynoed at 190-200 horsepower on different psi's....so its a good upgrade from the 105 horsepower stock ca20e :D

Your quattro sounds sick, have you had it dynoed?

[iwantFUEGO]

have you had it dynoed?

Nah but based on the number i should be pushin a good 220 at the crank... but my torque numbers should be around 245-250...

Quattro dirfting is insane... almost like you have total control while your in a complete slide.
i'm always driftin around... downshift to second... gun it thru a 90 degree right turn... slide across 3 lanes... although it is wreckless but its a ddicting... =D

[s12fever]

although it is wreckless but its a ddicting... =D


Hahah so true!!

I have some really worn out tyres i'm gonna put on the rear in a few days, then i'm gonna take a little amature in-car vid of my drifting heh. Duct tape the camera to the passengers seat:thumbsup:

[noodlesqld]

i dunno if u fixed the droopy leave but my guess is over watering

[noodlesqld]

that s12 is a silvia right.... when i seen the pics i thouhgt 180 sx

[noodlesqld]

silvias here in aus are 2 door with a boot not a hatch. but i could be wrong

so s12 how are the ladies?? they are all now ladies i guess.

sorry i havnt been on in a while I am real busy with my new job and all.

[s12fever]

yea s12 is the model before s13 lol. that s13s body kit is, if you dont mind me saying, a hunk-a-junk :P

I have my eyes on another S12 hatch now, really freindly guy in AU is selling it... sr20det engineered.... 181rwkw... fucking nuts. Falcon blue paint , 17" mags, so hot... only $5500ono - compared to the ca18det engineered hatch for$3500 ono....

um they're looking a little better i guess....leaves are drooping a bit more and more spots on leaves, but pottys fucking huge now... he's ATLEAST 1 1/2ft tall... and the stigmas are looking healthy and thriving...

[mobay]

ok s12 from what i can see is, your pots are letting in light to the roots. roots hate light. wrap the pots with some black plastic bags and see if that will help perk those leaves up. thats my opinion, cause 1 time i gave my plants some cold water and the leaves drooped so bad i thought they were dead. what iam saying is roots play a good part in your growing, put a rubber on those pots :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[heleigh]

love the plants they are beautiful... wish i could grow some like that.lol

:eek::eek::eek: i never thought of that!! I thought, if anything, it would help them...

shit, i'll put some protection on them now...don't want an abortion do i?! ;)

thanks alot mate ill give it a shot

[s12fever]

Thanks alot for that mobay!!! It seems pretty clear now that roots don't like direct light...!! It's surely better than waiting and wishing...!!

i've duct taped up some garbage bags so no light can shine through the sides..!

[noodlesqld]

yeah that body kit is shit isnt it. i just goggled silvias and thats what i got.

what i was trying to say was that i didnt know they came out as a hatch i have never seen one.

the one with that sr20 motor will kick ass mate way better than the ca18

glad to hear they are doing good

my biggest one is about that big but its bent right over so its really ony about 1/2 foot tall but nearly 2 foot wide... i will post some pics on my thread on the weekend and show ya.

peace.

[noodlesqld]

when you say engineered what do you mean.... do u mean it has plates to say that the mods are legal. or that is just modded

[s12fever]

when you say engineered what do you mean.... do u mean it has plates to say that the mods are legal. or that is just modded

it means its aftermarket; it's had a sr20 redtop(late model s13) engine conversion...
I'm pretty much dreaming for it...i'm looking for a job the best i can, as soo as i get one i'm getting a 10,000$$$ loan or so, go on a car shopping spreeeeeeee:dance: so i HOPE like HELL he still has it in a few weeks (maybe more :( )

A pic of it..!! BEEAAAUUTIFUL isnt it?! :thumbsup:

[dereck1174]

lookin good, the yellow on the tips of the leaves is a nute problem (lack of em)
other than that nice work

[noodlesqld]

[s12fever]

LOL no offence but thats a total lack of inexperience there...you didn't read, or even see the pics did you mate? ;)

[Garden Knowm]

More pictures.. more light

: )

[bud breath420]

i agree more pictures...

[s12fever]

sorry fellas...been real busy tryna find a job lately...i'll put up some pics over the next day or two.

Awww Ma GAAWWWDDD the stigmas look looovely:D:D i love watching them grow:D

[s12fever]

heres some pics...been real busy lately, found a job and am moving into a flat with my mate over the next week so yea. woohoo...

plants are doing really well... the new leaves look really healthy so they look like theyve recovered very well... anyway, pics!!!! (pics are from about 3 days ago)

[s12fever]

as i think i already said the pics were taken bout 3 days ago and since then the buds have grown quite a bit in size :D

with the plants were as purple as those pics :P

[s12fever]

more beautiful pics

[mobay]

s12 so do you think that covering the pots helped?

[s12fever]

yea i think it may have helped, even if it didnt theyre recovering nicely so weewwhhh!! :D :D

pottys growing soooo fast....i'm gonna run out of room and have ta tie him down soon!

[s12fever]

OK guys, today was the day that the girls NEED to be tied down...coz theres just not enough room in there!!!

A couple pics of before i tied them down - potty is the tall one, a pic of one of the leaves off one of em (looks like indica right?) and of the LST...

DURING pottys LST (really long skinny stems) one of her nodes half snapped!:( so i tied some bamboo to it to hold it up and hoping it'll recover...!!

And OMFG i think ive made a big mistak of growing these girls so tall...:( ... in the wardrobe...as you can see in the picture... alot of the lower buds including some really fat onez are getting little light from the leaves blocking them sicne i had to put them so close together..!!

Note that i did a few things after i took the picture of them tied down, -- lowered the lights, tied down 2 of swizzes nodes that are still poking up, etc...

also note that i have very limited space and im leaving them like this so i dont want lectures on how to tie them down and shit

[s12fever]

also ull have to ignore if the ladders in th way...the spare rooms getting renovated

--hopefully the bleech smell will make them grow ultrasupermagnificentlyuuber huge or some shit :confused:

[bud breath420]

looking nice bro how much you think youl harvest of them? your moving to your mates.. are the girls coming with? keep us posted
--hopefully the bleech smell will make them grow ultrasupermagnificentlyuuber huge or some shit lol lets hope so..

[s12fever]

looking nice bro how much you think youl harvest of them? your moving to your mates.. are the girls coming with? keep us posted lol lets hope so..

hey...

na, not flatting anymore... the job i got is only part-tiem for now so i won't be earning enough for rent so that'll have to wait - in other words the girls are staying right here :)

Hmmm....thats a tough one :D i'd like to guess but in all honesty i have absolutly no clue lol. Since they went through that rough patch a few weeks back i'd say an ounce or so from each plant? (like i said...total guess)

:dance: :dance:

[Gruffy]

looking really nice dude..they are big bitches :D ..cant wait to get my next grow underway :D

[iwantFUEGO]

looks nice bro... real nice... what lights are you using again?

[s12fever]

looks nice bro... real nice... what lights are you using again?

your thread is sooo long i dont have patience to search...lol

Hahaha i know! :p

im using 2 x 80w flo tubes; 4ft long...

i might put the 4x CFL's back up aswell, but get another 2 warm whites so the buddies have sum better spectrum for flowering...will do that tomoz

[SiXFeEtDeEp]

[iwantFUEGO]

[s12fever]

so what exactly do you gain (or lose) when you trim the shit out of your plant like that? seems you would lose yeild

Hahah what do u mean? i didnt 'trim the shit' out of my plants, just snipped off the 'infected' leaves...

.......................
Just added the new lights up!


First i went out and bought an extra 2 x 20w (100w) warm whites (already had 2)

Put them in my 4-way light thingy-ma-jiggy

Installed a small hook and attached it, plugged it in etc

Thought i'd might aswell give my plants the BEST 2 weeks and 4 days left of flowering to go(i dont know WHY i didnt think of this earlier!! ) so i added some reflective white paper on the inside of the wardrobe door.

Pics! sorry about the quality as always...i tried to brighten them up the best i could

[s12fever]

Final set-up for the 2 weeks and 4 days (give or take) remaining of flowering:

1 x wardrobe painted matt white - [approx] 4.2ft long; 1.2ft wide; 4.5ft tall
2 x 80w fluorescent tubes (cool white)
4 x 20w CFLs (warm white - tornado shape) -- 1 x 4-way light fitting
1 x timer
1 x 25mm (approx) desk fan
1 x pH tester
1 x 4-way power socket
1 x big sheet of white reflective paper for the inside of the door
1 x 40x magnifying glass
Scissors, string and duct tape always come in handy for Low-Stress-Training (LST).
2 x female bagseeds (indica from what i know)
2 x homemade 5gal pots (drainage holes cut on sides and bottom)
-Average soil with NO 'slow release fertilisers' as standard
-Gardening sand + small gravel for water drainage
-Super phosphate
-Sulphur of potash
All mixed through the soil.
Water soluable Thrive (for the remaining 4 days)
Destilled water at room temp. (for the last 2 weeks)
'Yates' Insect gun mister
'Yates' Rooting hormone gel (unused in this grow)


Thats about it... Hope this helps someone out in their grow!

Also made a batch of brownies from the 2oz of leaves i had, and about 1g of mids...had 2 slices last night and it fucked me up:dance: :dance:

[bud breath420]

very nice mate! 2 weeks left you say cant wait to see the finished product.. good luck bro!

[s12fever]

thanks budbreath....i just hope the buds will thicken out soon...coz theyre still tiny! :(
