Mrs. Greenjeans' first ever grow

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, I am going to try keeping a growlog. Mind you, I was never one of those girls who kept a diary or a journal...so I don't know how diligent I'll be about this. I currently keep track of my growroom activities on a mousepad with tear off calendar sheets.

To give anyone reading an idea of where I'm coming from/going to: I'm not much of a smoker, I get really paranoid and can't relax. My fiance smokes a hella lot, and we're buying a house, so we've started looking for ways to economize. So I got a wild hair up my heinie and threw some bagseeds from some smoke he particularly liked in a paper towel. Next thing I know, I've got a wee little 4 plant garden.

Particulars: Closet grow. Less than 4 square feet.


Lights: 4 26W Daylight CFLs 1500 Lumens/ea. Additional tube fluoros mounted on walls for side/ambient lighting
Temp ranges: 72-80 F. Generally stays in the lower end.
RH averages 45-50 percent
Water temp 70 F, has a large airstone running in it, good pH.
Flat white paint on walls
Haven't really done much in the way of nutes yet. In a panic they received a low low dose of Miracle Gro yesterday, up until then all they'd had was a light epsom salt solution and plain water.
Homemade CO2..yeast, sugar, water
Good circulation, boosted by one of those fans that you stick in the window.
They're 4 weeks old from the time they broke dirt.You know, I really didn't think they would make it this far. Now that they have, I'm kind of bewildered. They consume a lot of my time and attention. I'm obsessed with them.

I had to go out of town for a week, and they were left all alone. Here's my thread (posted in the wrong spot) about that, with some pics.

I guess that's all for now.:p

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, after being traumatized for a week, the kids are perked backed up again. No more droopiness, and I've got the temp and humidity etc. all straightened back up. I've got a grow buddy stopping by this week to let me borrow a 400W HPS. He's on gardening sabbatical right now, so I get to put off actually purchasing a light until after I do this harvest and decide whether I want to continue down this road.

Going to be transplanting into final containers next week, so I got them ready...washed and sterilized, just need to drill drainage holes. I'm using the 3 gallon buckets that kitty litter comes in. Reduce, reuse, recycle. And the square shape makes it easier for me to utilize my limited closet space.

It's time for me to get some sort of odor control set up as well. Right now it's not an issue, they're just pleasantly pungent. You actually have to be in the closet to smell them. But before it becomes an issue, I'm going to make one of the DIY neutralizers I saw on here.

Okay, I think that's it for today.:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Whoooooo. That changed. Seemingly overnight, it smells like Pepe LePew has taken up residence in my bedroom.:eek:

I'm impatient. I'm going to transplant the kids today. This will entail rearranging the closet setup. Pics will follow when I'm done.

BTW, suggestions are welcome.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, since some of the other ladies and I were comparing how ghetto our setups are, I am posting pics.

Witness, the clean bras hanging in the corner! Gaze in shock at the kitty litter pots! Squirm in horror at the gooseneck desk lamp holding a 26W CFL! Cringe at the soul destroying nightmare of cords hanging everywhere!

For mature audiences only.

In other news, everyone has been repotted. And I need more light.
And what's with all the little leaflets sprouting low on the[attachment=o116545]

lol we all have those... the ones you run out and buy at 11:30 at night from the 24 hour pharmacy chain because that's the only thing open.
But the best pic is the one of the boob holders. hahaha
Anyway the side growth looks perky!
I'll keep watching!

I was desperate to dry the bras, and it's always warm and breezy in there.;) Now my boobs are gonna smell skunky. See, I have ulterior motives. The aroma will make me more attractive to cats and my sweetie. Everybody wins!:D

[Chronic Chrissy]

I made one of those DIY nutralizers and it works great so long as you keep it topped up with febreeze, it takes a bit but when it's going the whole house smells fresh.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Awesome! I'm glad to hear it.:jointsmile: I've been getting paranoid about the lovely aroma of my beauties.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I finally programmed my light timer, after reading the Lights Out thread in the grow FAQ. Sorry, I can't remember the exact name of the thread. If anyone needs me to, I'll hunt it up and link it. Anyhow, the kids are now on 20/4 to promote root development, so I can LST them without pulling them up by the roots. LOL. I'll leave them there for the next 2 weeks, and if all looks good, I'll flip them to 12/12.

They really responded positively to the change. The temp dropped significantly, both outdoors and in the room, making the room around 66F. The 4 hours it was dark, it was cool and slightly over normal humidity, about 55-60%RH. Now today, everybody is standing tall and perky, with leaves outstretched (not droopy), and looking much happier.

Okay, that's it for now.:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Picking up the 400W hps from my buddy today. I'll keep track of how that works out. I expect it to drastically raise temps in the closet, so I may have to come up with a new ventilation plan. For the lights etc. that are currently in there, the ventilation is fantastic, but I can see it becoming not so fantastic very quickly with the hps in there. I think I have a plan though. (insert maniacal evil scientist laughter here). Where I live is colder'n a witches tit in a brass bra. My plan is just to run flexible duct tubing (like for the dryer) in from my bedroom window and into the closet. This will give me passive intake. Cold ass passive intake at that. The closet has two outside walls, and when the temp drops outside, the closet gets rather chilly. I've been known to keep beer in there. So I think it'll all work out.

What else...Oh yeah! Since I've repotted and gone to 20/4, I've seen explosive growth in no time. I'm going to have to raise the lights, and I just raised them 2 days ago. I'm also seeing more side branching. As soon as I get the hps hung, I'm going to LST. Wish me luck. Pics later.:)

Awww thanks Shov! Tell the truth, it's the bras isn't it? LOL!
Thanks for reading. I appreciate knowing that someone is reading and I'm not just hollering down a well.;)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I got my light today!!! Much less ghetto in the closet. But now I have to scramble and hurry to do my exhaust. It's about 15 inches above the plants, and the ballast is outside the room.

sings: it's getting hot in here, so cool off all your clones
(i am gettin' so hot, i wanna cool my clones off)

Okay, I'll prolly get sued for that one. :S2:

On to the pics!

they look good... did you - or can you get any pics of the weed its from?

[Scarlet Sky]

you seem to have slight heat stress or an abundanc/lack of water... they are a little droopy...

Sky :abduct:

Hi AD! Thanks for stopping by!
Unfortunately, I can't get any pics of that. They didn't actually come from clones, I was just being goofy for the sake of the song. They come from bagseed of some smoke that my honey really enjoyed, and he smoked dat shit up! LOL!

I'll have to take some more pics today. They are loving it in there now.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Sky :abduct:

Hola! Yeah, they were freaking out last night because I turned off the CFLs and the fans to maneuver the new light into place (that damn thing was bulky and HEAVY!) so they were without light and ventilation for like 30 minutes, and they got bumped around a little and upset. They're standing tall and pretty today.;) I'll get some more pics up later.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, well even with the new light, it's still only 80F in the closet, so that's a good thing. I found a different place to put my air intake (one that's not obvious to outsiders, and I'm going to vent into the roof by going through the spot where the current overhead light is. I'll make a DIY carbon scrubber for that, and the DIY neutralizer as well, just to cover all bases.

Everybody is loving the new light. Their little green arms are outstretched, little green faces turned up to the sun. Happy little trees.:rasta: The nicest part is, my buddy is letting me borrow this light indefinitely. As "rent" payment, I have to give him clones. He doesn't want to sell it, in case he decides to start growing again. But I can keep it as long as I need it. So cool...that's one less expense. It's good to have friends.:D


Well, now that I've got some of the hard work done, I feel like I can browse around and check out the other girls' logs. I've been so busy I haven't really had a chance.

That's all for now.:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Oh yeah, gonna LST tonight. That's when I'll post pics.

[Shovelhandle]

"I feel like I can browse around and check out the other girls' logs."

It's ok to check out the boys' grows too, ya know. As long as you can keep that "mood" in check. lol

Hehehehe! My stepsons were up this weekend, and between them and my two girls, they kept us so busy I didn't get to sneak any nookie in. I'm dyin' ovah heah!:D

I'll come check out your grow. Hey, would you mind reading this thread for me and answering if you can?

Hey, Mrs. Greenjeans. I'm just browsing around trying to take a look at all the new growers' threads. I don't wanna get too far behind.

Nice ghetto-grow. ;) Love the accents you've got in your room. LOL.

Anyway, that light looks choice, so hope it works out well. Have you solved your exhaust woes yet?

Keep us updated. Good luck with the war. :D:D

Hi Fog! I'm going out now to get my supplies. Tonight will be busy building and cutting holes in walls.:D Thanks for your support!;)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

So I live in the midwest, where temps are currently in the minus double digits. Schools are closed because it's actually too cold for the kids to attend. So what am I trying to find?

A frigging fan. Naturally.

Needless to say, the DIY neutralizer won't be getting built today. I'm going to go out tomorrow and pick up some used computer case fans, and wire them up following a tut I found online, with a cell phone charger. I was trying to avoid this. I hate fucking with electricity, even small voltages. I hate being shocked with a passion.

The upshot of all this is, I wasted a LOT of time today, so the LSTing won't get done today, and I have heartburn, and my feet hurt from walking around Target, and Lowe's, and Radio Shack, and Wal-Mart, and Staples blah blah blah. Then to make matters worse, I get home and it's 86 motherloving degrees F in the closet.

If these things don't go hermie, it'll be a miracle.

[Bree1978]

Hey, I'm in the same boat. I can't water my ladies, cause school's out...please don't die on me!! I got my new light this weekend, and have also been looking for a fan....I found them at HomeDepot but it is online only. :jointsmile: Bree

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Oh, you hiding your grow from your kiddies? LOL, I was too, but my 8 year old busted me. She went in my room to run the Bissel sweeper thingy, getting up all the perlite hahahaha! She followed the trail to my closet and bang. Then my 5 year old was curious about why I kept my closet light on, so now she knows. They just don't know what it is, only that I have plants growing in my closet, and they're not to talk about it to anyone.

[Bree1978]

No, the one that can talk about it knows....but the less I mess with them the less they'll be thought about, kwim? Bree

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Whew! What a week it's been! Where to start? Well, I don't have my DIY neutralizer built yet, but I did get my carbon filter built. Thing is, I either read the directions wrong or bought the wrong parts or something. The parts I bought were all too big. So I ended up using aluminum tape (or as I call it "90 mile an hour tape" to make the thing. You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the growroom, especially on a limited budget LOL!

I bought two used 8cm computer fans for my intake and exhaust. These move 92cfm, and my closet is 107.6 cf, so it's all good.
I made a hole from inside my windowseat, where it's always really cold, for my intake, and another hole about 5 feet above that in the back of a built-in bookshelf for my exhaust.

I'm able to keep the closet door shut and maintain temps of 80F. Still not ideal, but the best I can get right now. It's only for a few more days anyway, then I"ll go 12/12 which will help a lot with the temps. Right now they're on 20/4, and the temp peaks around hour 18. So 12/12 will help a bunch.

And oh yeah, I've got one plant that has given me fits from the beginning. It's always trying to die, and I'm always pulling it back from the brink. I bet it's a boy. Only a man would give me this much trouble. I'm posting a couple of pics of it. It has spots on it. I looked in the International Cannagraphics guide, and it looks like either boron deficiency, or burning from the light. What I don't understand is, this plant is actually further away from the light than the other plants. It's just being a little green pussy. I'm going to check pH today on everybody. They all look a little heat stressy, but I'm going to check pH anyway, just to be able to rule it out.

I LSTd everyone. I may have to re-do it. I was tired and grouchy and didn't do the best job.
Okay, that's it. Let's go to the pics.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I forgot to rotate one of the pics. Sorry about that.
The white specks you see on the other plants (not the asshole plant) is drywall dust and sawdust from me cutting holes in the wall. I've got major housekeeping to do today. Bleh.

[canuck grower]

Hey Mrs GJ, I think your ghetto setup kicks ass! Grocery bags, nice. :) I enjoy reading your log. Keep it going! :thumbsup:


So I live in the midwest, where temps are currently in the minus double digits. Schools are closed because it's actually too cold for the kids to attend. So what am I trying to find?

A frigging fan. Naturally.

I'm on a fan mission today, I couldn't even find a fan that wasn't also a heater at Walmart so I have to look further. It's fun to wonder what people are thinking when you go buy things like pantyhose (I'm a guy) or a fan in Jan/Feb!

Sorry, I can't help you with your plant problems. You're more likely to get an answer in the plant problems forum than your log... well, I think so anyway. Good luck and Happy growing!

-c :jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

This is it! I couldn't stand the anticipation anymore. They've been in veg, by my reckoning, 4 weeks today. So this is where the rubber meets the road. I am excited. I set my timer and turned the lights out 26 minutes ago. Wheeeeeeeee!:D

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hmmm, I left CG a reply, but it seems to have disappeared. I wonder what would lead to a mod deleting it, and then not saying anything about it? Off to check my e-mail!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, I just checked my e-mail, and there is nothing there. I'm off to the feedback forum.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Checked pH on the kids. As follows:

Asshole Plant (aka Jordan) 6.9
Lily 6.9
Pat 6.8
Gloria 6.9Didn't check runoff, as today was not watering day. Ordered more computer case fans from eBay. 4 for 8.95+S&H. 120mm(12cm)(5in), moves 92cfm. Cleaned and repaired a fan. Talked sweet and breathed on them alot. Adjusted some ties. Oh yeah, FIMmed one of Pat's tips. He/she/it was getting out of hand. Put 4/5 fans on timer as well. One off timer, runs continually. Low temps hit 60F with lights out, so have to figure out a way now to keep temps a bit higher during dark period. Humidity very low, 34%RH. May need to add humidifier.

No wonder my breakers trip. I have a million things plugged in inside that closet. It probably glows like a lite-brite on thermal imaging. My electric meter is spinning like a CD;)

That's all for now. Tomorrow I need to seal some hairline cracks around the doorframe where light is getting in.

I'm so sleeepy.:stoned:

[invision]

are you giving them nitrogen yet?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

are you giving them nitrogen yet?
They get it in their nutes, usually every 3rd watering. Nute ratio is 24-8-16.

[whisky]

phew! nice grow log Mrs.GJ very detailed im gna follow this log now :) hoping to see those ladies come out keep us posted!

ps: heres my grow log ;) drop in and say hi

Canadian tire for fans.

Hey Greenjeans looks like you've been as busy as me lately. H keeps asking me what I'll tell K when she gets older about my "job", I'll figure it out when the time comes.

Just tell her you're a pain management specialist.:D

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'm having a really hard time maintaining temps and humidity. I had to order parts for my humidifier, and they probably won't be here til Monday. It's 25%rh in there right now. I keep getting shocked everytime I bump into something metal, which is frequently in that tiny space.

I added 4 26W daylight cfls as supplemental side lighting, but it made the temps shoot to 90 in 4 hours, so that's out the window. And it still gets too cold in there during lights out.

They've already grown past the edge of the 4 gallon buckets, and are growing upward, just in 3 days, so I'll have to untie them, probably tonight. That means I'll have to raise the light a bit too, as untied they are too close to it.

No obvious signs of sex yet, but I can see pre-flowers forming in the calices. My magnifying glass sucks. I need a more powerful one.

They were bone dry, so I watered. They really suck down the water with that hot ass light going, and the fans running all the time. I added a big floor fan. I positioned it right in front of the intake, to pull the cold air up and blow it at the plants. Anyway, I watered, using 1/2 (half) a tablespoon of molasses to 2 gallons of water. They drank every bit, very little runoff, maybe 4 oz. from each plant.

Did a little research, and found out the average pH of my city water in my particular neighborhood is 7.8. The pH of the largest part of my soil mix is 5.5. When I check runoff and soil on my plants, it hits at 6.8-6.9. So they must be balancing each other out.

It's "night" for them right now. I keep lights out during the day, to control temps, since it's naturally warmer outside and in my bedroom during the day. So, no pics until later, after midnight.

We close on the house next week. At least that's the plan now. I believe we're supposed to go in Friday the 16th to cross the final Ts and dot the final Is. Once we do, I have to go to the new house, and map out and start setting up my growroom so that when we move, it's ready to receive. I hadn't counted on us moving this soon. I was hoping we wouldn't move til after harvest. Now I'm worried about the effect transporting could have on my plants. It's cold outside here, and I'd have to move them at night so as not to disrupt their lighting schedule. ::sigh::

It's always something.
That's all for now.:hippy:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

CC, you guys have a tire store that sells fans? Well if that don't beat all! Now I'll have to see if we have one!

[Chronic Chrissy]

CC, you guys have a tire store that sells fans? Well if that don't beat all! Now I'll have to see if we have one!

lol, not quite. Canadian tire is a... a mans store. Of course it has the automotive section, lots of tools, outdoor stuff, camping/fishing stuff, lighting, pet stuff. like a mans Walmart! that's it. I went searching across the city for fans and Canadian Tire had a whole aisle.

As for your heat/cold problems I don't know girl. You have to keep the closet closed right? If you could open the door a little and bought a little tower fan($20 Canadian tire) it could blow air in the bottom and force hot ai back out the top. The cold problem might require a small heater. as for the humidity don't worry about it and cancell those parts you have coming. As you get farther into flowering the plants take up more water and transpire more. I started with 26%RH and now am up to 50%.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Aaahahahaha! A man's Walmart LOL!
I keep the door closed because of the smell, my kids, and the cat.;) I don't really have to keep it closed. I just prefer it that way. Also, the closet is near a window, and with the hps on, it looks like God is standing in my closet.:D I tacked up a dark purple blanket over the window though, so that helps.

Thanks for the info on humidity. I was getting worried. It seemed so desert-like in there, all dry and windy. Which is why it's perfect for drying lingerie. ;)

[canuck grower]

I went into a Staples and they said they had no fans at all. They literally laughed at me and told me to come back in the summer. I ordered 3 fans off of their website and they were delivered the next day.

This little $20 one is great for a cab: STAPLES Business Depot | BUREAU EN GROS (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=488077&affixedcode=WW)

Since you have temp problems at both day & night have you considered changing your light cycle so the lights are on at night instead? You could kill 2 birds with one stone. I am seriously considering doing that, especially as it gets hotter over the next several months.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hi Canuck! You must have missed this part of my long rambly post:


It's "night" for them right now. I keep lights out during the day, to control temps, since it's naturally warmer outside and in my bedroom during the day.

[canuck grower]

Yeah my bad! I completely missed that, or forgot. :)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I just could NOT solve my temp problems quickly. So I took the plants off the stand they were on and put them on the floor. They're on a piece of carpet with padding underneath, and plastic on top of that. I just had to put more space btwn them and the light, and raising the light wasn't going to work. I just hope they don't stretch all to hell. To try to combat this, I'm going to add the cfls back into the equation. I untied them as well. They've been tied down for 7 days.

Here's hoping this solves my high temp issues. Now I've just gotta work on my low temp issues. :jointsmile:

[whisky]

you are doing best possible to help those plant they need to be cooler then veg during flowering. you should try to find a fan ( Mrs.GJ throws a big hard book to whiskeys face and yells "Thats what ive been trying to do!" ) ouch..
do you use co2? i have a little bottle with water sugar and yiest in there i read it somewhere you can also put baking soda and vinegar its cheap ways of co2:) im also going to foliar feed them in about 1.5 weeks with guano and stuff. you could buy some guano and put it in with ur water. i heard if its used a week before flowering - a week into flowering it gives off huge results. hope those girls start showing soon :)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hi Whisky:) I've got fans galore going in there right now. I'll post some pics in a bit.
I was using the yeast/sugar method for CO2, but the low temps in my closet kill the yeast. I was having to make a fresh batch every day, and now I"m out of yeast and snowed in.:(

[KL4D4]

Snowed in huh, I live in Minnesota and we had the cold temps but never the snow, but keep up the good grow.

Oh and I have nothing but Goose neck lamps running working great for me so far to ;)

[kindprincess]

mrs green, what proportions do you mix the yeast/sugar/water? i'm experimenting now, got a tbs of yeast, 2tbs sugar, 4oz of water...

i'll help you with temps when you get the pix up. i have battled heat. many times. i am the victor :D you shall be too ;)

love, kp

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

KP, I put about 5 cups of water in a milk jug, 2 cups of sugar, and one packet of yeast. Then I put a hole in the milk jug and put a tube in the hole, um, it's about an inch around. The jug sits on a shelf above my plants, with the tube pointing down, since CO2 is heavier than air. I found the "recipe" on the net somewhere.

It works, but sometimes it gets messy if the mixture gets real frisky and bubbly. And when my temps drop below 72F, the yeast dies.

[higher4hockey]

uhhh...no offense or nothing ;)

looking good !

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

LOLOLOL! Thanks for stopping by H4H!:jointsmile:

[Chronic Chrissy]

I'm using yeast to, but I have it in ketchup bottles in front of the fan to blw it up since I don't have a shelf, I throw another 1/2 cup sugar i once a week anf shake it up good at least once a day, if not more.

GreenJeans and everyone else, please check out my pics I just got them up and no one's said anyhing yet and I can't wait to hear how I'm doing.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'll come take a look CC. I'm getting ready to put my pics up too. We're having an ice storm now, and the power keeps going out, so this will be my 3rd try. ::grumblegrumble:::cursing:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Everything is coated with a layer of ice. It looks like a fairyland. I'll get pics in the morning. In the meantime, get ready for several pics of my plants.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

More random pics.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Um, yeah. 'Bout that...

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

And this wraps it up for today.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Some of the pics are blurry because I don't dare turn the fan off for a second.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Snowed in huh, I live in Minnesota and we had the cold temps but never the snow, but keep up the good grow.

Oh and I have nothing but Goose neck lamps running working great for me so far to ;)
Thanks for stopping by KL! Yeah, now we've got sleet and ice on top of snow. So I'm not sure how much longer we'll have power. This happened 2 years ago, and we were without power for nearly 3 weeks. I've got a kerosene heater, but I don't know what I'll do about lighting my plants. I suppose I could try putting them in front of a window.

How will I survive without internet?! GASP!:eek:

[Shovelhandle]

Nice pics, Mrs. G.
Good luck with your weather. We have a n'orester happening here as we sit. Everything is getting cancelled today.

Well, at least the temps aren't as bad. I've got it stabilized at 81F. Still too high. The light is 20 inches away from the shortest plant, about 17 away from the tallest.

Still not showing any signs of sex. I am frustrated.

[Bree1978]

Chin up, it won't be long and something will show....you know...the ones that showed later were females for me...................just something to think about...:) :jointsmile: Bree

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'm going to spend some time with my human children today. At least they don't make me feel like I'm a bad mama. They're beautiful, and smart, and kind, and funny.

My plants are jerks.

[geonagual]

This is a great log. You can do it!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

LOL! Thanks Geo:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

It's purple, with little nubbins on it, and it buzzes and ....oh wait, wrong toy.

I ordered a hand held 30x microscope from eBay! Huzzah! I hope the mailman can get it to my door, seeing as how it appears I live in the Yukon right now.

[canuck grower]

Ha, well a little less interesting than you first led me to believe, but cool nonetheless! ;) I find myself looking closely at weed I buy now, if it looks good that is.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hi CG! Yeah, I need one to help me determine my plant's sex, and to check trichomes when it's time to harvest. I can't see shit with this little dimestore mag glass I have. All it's good for is...well nothing really.

[Chronic Chrissy]

Hey green geens if the power does go out to keep your photoperiod going you can just hang a flashlight in there or light a candle. If we can see the light they can pick it up. So just don't fuck up the schedual. I'll do some more reading for you about emergency situations and see if I can find anything else for you. Your plants are looking good and 81 isn't a bad temp. In my flower room we get up to 83 without being stressed. Just take care of those kids first if the lights go out.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Rock on! Thanks Chrissy!

[Jedi Hash]

I wouldn't worry about that temp if I were you, Mrs. Greenjeans. Thanks for having such a lighthearted growlog! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll keep power. Namaste.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I wouldn't worry about that temp if I were you, Mrs. Greenjeans. Thanks for having such a lighthearted growlog! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll keep power. Namaste.
Hey, if you can't have fun growing pot, when can you?:D
Thanks for stopping by Jedi!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Well, it looks like I've got two males on my hands so far. I'm going to double post this to get confirmation. Oh, and some pics of my cats.:D Ignore the mess. We're packing to move.

[canuck grower]

Male cats or male cannabis plants? j/k ;) Yeah too bad, Gloria and Jordan look like boys, but Jordan can keep his name (if you keep any males). Love the pics of your cats!

just for good measure: http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/cats.htm

-c :jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I freaking love those cat pics.I collect them.The misspellings are what make me just howl and cry from laughing so hard. It just seems exactly how a cat would spell. My sides hurt now...
Here's my favorite.

[Shovelhandle]

funny shtt, man! I got cat pics but no funny werds. <G>

Shovelhandle

[stinkyattic]

OMG I just looked at that cat thing and laughed so hard my eyes are all teary.

This is such a fun log!!!

[Chronic Chrissy]

Gotta love cats.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Katz rool!

[canuck grower]

cats are cool. i love most animals, always have. i was looking for a pic of a knot and i found these. more funny cats! :jointsmile:

1. there is no spoon
2. not funny, but extremely cool (from flickr)
4. from here or icmag, awesome pic!

[Chronic Chrissy]

lol I wish I could put a video up becuase to watch my two in the morning chasing eachother around the house before the dogs wake up. That is some funny shit.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Put one up on YouTube Chrissy!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, after my panic about having males, kp set my mind at ease. It's too soon to panic:D

Nothing much to report today. It looks like Vietnam in my closet. Greenery everywhere! Everybody seems happy, although judging by the top of the soil, they are in need of a flushing. I'll try to get to that tonight, after "sunrise". I'll take pics then too.

I am getting no sleep. Since I have my plants on "day" when it's actually after midnight, I have to stay up until like 4 am every day. Then I get up at 8am to get my human kids off to school. And of course, since the rest of the world does business during the day, I only get to take naps. I would like to sleep a whole 6 hours in a row. That would be tits.:p

The mortgage company hasn't called yet. Dammit I want to sign on that house today! I need to get busy constructing my grow room!!!

My grow log has turned into sort of a growlog/socializing room/confessional/diary. Interesting. I thought I would just post pics and facts and figures in this. I didn't expect to have become involved in the social aspect of CannCom, at least not this quickly. It's fun:thumbsup:

Okay, that's all for now. I have really really bad cramps. My evening primrose oil is packed. Why did I do that? :wtf: I guess I though we'd be in the new house by now. I think I'll take a hit off the old man's blunt and lay down with a High Times.

Have a good day y'all.:hippy:

[1chronic]

Hey after reading this whole log I have to say it's great to hear that they could still be females.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thanks 1chronic! I like visitors:)

[1chronic]

I noticed, that's why I had to make sure I posted when I finished reading.

By the way the plants are looking nice and the kittenz iz soz koolz. (Yeah z over load :P) :jointsmile:

[kindprincess]

so, mrs green...

do you have pix for me?

:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Not yet! I have to wait until midnight my time, so about 45 minutes. :)

[1chronic]

I can't wait! This grow log has me on the edge of my seat :P

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

You and my fiance have the same name!
32 more minutes til lights on. Then give me about 20 more for photography, downloading, editing, and uploading. Phew!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

So I had to use my fiance's cam, which is the suck. I hate it. He's the only one who seems to be able to coax a decent photo from it. Anyhoo, while my batteries are charging, I'll post the 4 best ones, best being a completely relative term here. I'm only posting pics of Gloria and Jordan, as they are the only plants who are really doing anything.

[Chronic Chrissy]

I'm so sorry girl. Those look like boys. All that hard work you've been doing, and moving on top of it. I also wanted to say I'm so honored you quoted me in your sig. I figured I would say it in a way everyone understands.

Chin up girl they were great for practise and working out kinks.

[1chronic]

Aww well that's a shame, but as CC said, they were good for practice, and thinking back on some of the stress those plants went through I can see why they seem to have turned out to be boys.

Whats your next step from here Mrs. Green?

Well I'm out for now I need a smoke :bonghit:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Well, I'm not done yet. I've still got two more plants that have yet to show. I'm hoping they won't let me down. I expected Jordan would be male. I'm surprised at Gloria. I was thinking that Jordan and Pat would be males, and Lily and Gloria would be females. So now I will begin watching Lily and Pat to see what they do.:)

So stay tuned 1Chronic.;)

Chrissy, I just loved what you said, and wanted to share it. Which reminds me, I need to get over to that thread and see what's happening.

[1chronic]

Don't you worry I'll be watching. I'm like a big carp I'm hooked. How long are you expecting till they show? I hope there females I'm very curious as to how much you can harvest on your first grow.:weedpoke:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Well actually, they are girls. Hooray! I went in to kill the males. Gave them their propers, told them thanks for growing and whatnot. As I leaned in to grasp Jordan's trunk, I glanced over at Lily and there was her little pube!!!
So I chopped Jordan and Gloria to have better access to Pat, and lo and behold, Pat is also a girl! :clap: :yippee:

I got so excited, I took like 16 pictures. It's hard to tell in the pics, but believe me, they are hairs. Little glistening white unmistakable hairs.

I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to clone Pat. She's not a girl. She's a broad. She's healthy, easy going, and if she was a person she'd be a loudmouth, dope smokin', beer drinkin', hard lovin' hooker with a heart of gold. It's early in flower, so I'm gonna do it. Besides, she's huge! I need to take a cutting just to keep her under control. I FIMmed and LSTed her about 2 weeks ago, and she's still climbing up the wall.

Lily on the other hand is just like the little girl she's named after. She's demure and well behaved, never gives me any problems, but sturdy and easy to get along with. She sort of flies under the radar. And she's pretty and symmetrical.

Okay, enough mama boasting. On to the pics!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

yeayyyy

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Make sure you fully expand all the pics for best effect.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Chopped 2 males. Remaining plants female. Watered and fed with Schultz 10-52-10, quarter tsp. to a gallon of water, added a tablespoon of molasses. Used distilled water this time for some reason. :confused: Oh yeah, because everyone is asleep and the sink is noisy. Anyway...Lily and Pat each took 1/2 gallon of water. 2 litres to you Canucks and UKers.

Temp still higher than optimum. Need to remember to buy yeast. I keep forgetting when I'm in Kroger. This time I'm buying a big ass jar of it, instead of those puny packets. Stinky, will you draw me a pic of an ass jar? I'll print it out and take it to the store with me.:S2:

I cut the males up into little pieces with scissors, and shredded the leaves, and now my hands are so smelly I want to roll my finger up in a blunt and smoke it.:jointsmile:

Okay. That's all for now.:hippy:

[Shovelhandle]

That's a pretty good percentage, Mrs. G. I've been seeing 50% with my grows. Looking real good.

Shov

[Demeter]

Hi Mrs. G- your girls are soooo pretty! Now you have even more time and space to attend to the ones who will provide the bounty!

Okay, I heard you talking about the milk jug and sugar and whatnot. Can you post a pic of that? I am thinking about making one. I know there are lots of things I should do to increase yield/potency- what should I absolutely do, and what can wait?

Next question- odor control. I know you made something to fix that, could you post a pic when you get the chance? I know people have talked about them before, and I will look up the directions, but I also like a picture to visualize.

I want to do as you did and take another clone or two from one of my girls, 2 weeks in flower. She is so full it shouldn't hurt.

Sorry to be so full of questions:jointsmile:
It is fun to grow with you- say, once this all becomes legal, let's all buy a big parcel of land, call it cannabiscounty and grow - the breeders could all get together and develop fabulous strains, such one that doesn't cause munchies, yet enchances all other senses, and tastes like dark chocolate :D and we could have "tastings" every Friday night in the community room.


Sorry, I went off into fantasy:silly:

[Scarlet Sky]

hey demeter, the co2 jugs are easy, i'm using crissy's formula; 5 cups of water, two cups of sugar, on packet (or two tablespoons) of yeast. mix well, or shake, put in place, shake once or twice a day. works like a dream.

mrs green?




told you the force was with me! :p

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hey Demeter!
Here's a pic of my jugs. AHAHAHAHAHA! I've been waiting to use that.
And my ghetto carbon filter that I made with 90 mile an hour tape. There's a pic of it earlier in this thread too. Here's a link to the tut here on cdot for making one the right way:D
http://boards.cannabis.com/growroom-setup/90173-how-carbon-filter.html

As far as what can wait...what do I know? I'm a noob. LOL! But odor control is definitely tops on the list. You want to keep your security as tight as you can.:cool: < that's the security guy.

CO2 is debatable. If you have good ventilation, you can get by without it. But it does increase yield, and your plants will tolerate higher temps with CO2 supplementation.

I like your fantasy. Especially the part about a strain that doesn't cause the munchies. I ate so much the other night after I smoked that I had wretched killer heartburn that woke me up out of a sound sleep and kept me up until 6am. It sucked out loud.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

That's a pretty good percentage, Mrs. G. I've been seeing 50% with my grows. Looking real good.

ShovThanks Shov!

:4: I'm not worthy! I worship your green goddessness!

[1chronic]

Oh wow Mrs Green the girls are beautiful. I love the Co2 jugs and I'm sure the girls do too. Plus the added space is fantastic.:jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thanks1C! :D

[Demeter]

If I don't have any large jugs - lol, how true - can I use tupperware, something tall with a lid? Have tubing, and bought all the fixins yesterday.

How many of these do I need for a room that is 8'x4'x6'? I have three big girls flowering now, but there will be as many as 8 in the future. Right now I have tomatoes and peppers taking up space, but once I can move the food garden outside, there will be space, and I am thinking of getting another light- ladies, any votes? I have one HSP 600 now in the flower room.

Hubby has to stop working long enough to help me set up the vent system through the rafters, maybe Monday. Today I have to grade papers and walk on the treadmill to offset my munchies- the last of the Valentine's candy!

I just took four more clones, two more of my fat artemis, and two of the largest, sex unknown, Pure Power Plants. Hope they are girls, they seem very strong!:greenthumb:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

It's hard for me to say how many you need. It depends on your ppm of co2 in your ambient air. Since you probably don't have a meter (I know I don't) I would say at least two. More won't hurt. And yeah, your containers are fine, it doesn't have to be a milk jug. I'm just cheap like that.;) The only jugs I've ever bought are the ones on my chest. LOL!

Sending you girl vibes for your unknown clones.

[Scarlet Sky]

hey demeter, use a milk jug. works perfect

[whisky]

hey GJ congrats on those 2 girls i hope out of my 4 plants 2 turn girls too and ill be very happy :)

[Scarlet Sky]

:4: I'm not worthy! I worship your green goddessness!

Well done Mrs. :greenthumb: excellent grow & groovy set-up too :thumbsup: I'm looking forward to seeing these ladies blossom. good luck & grow hard :greenthumb:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thanks Slayer!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'm feeling depressed and lazy, so I'll keep this short.
Girls look good, although Pat has something on a leaf. Like a tear. I'll keep an eye on it. It might just be injury from getting moved around.

They stretched a bunch overnight. No matter what I do to Pat, she has two branches that are much taller than the rest. I've tied her down, FIMmed her, tied her down some more, put extra light on the shorter branches. She reminds me of those girls with one boob noticeably bigger than the other.:wtf:

Lily is coming on strong, putting out lots of little hairs. My baby is becoming a woman! *sob*

So, both ladies are putting out hairs, looking good, nothing more to see here. I'm tired, my head hurts, and my house is a hot ghetto mess. Thanks for reading.:thumbsup:

[brookerosebud]

good ratio mrs g

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

TY Brooke! I haven't seen you around since shortly after I signed up. I remember reading your posts before I registered, when I was just a lurker.:cool: < that's me. lurking all incognito.

No pics, no news. Everybody is green and happy. Pat is out of hand. I'm going to train her big ass to a trellis or something. I wish she'd stop growing for a minute until I get her moved to the new house.

We're signing today. I'll post pics later. Gawd I just feel so laaazzzy.:cool:

Oh yeah, the dude that loaned me the hps called me today, to check up on things. Says he's going to come by soon with magic beans. Hmmm. We'll see.

damn, just when it was starting to get interesting... :D

mrs green, pix pleez. i'm on btw...

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I haven't taken any pics in a couple of days. I'm lazy and tired, and I think I'm slipping into my yearly seasonal depression. I'll take some tonight when the lights come on.

edit to say: I'll get on for a few minutes. I'm baking cookies.

[Bree1978]

I'm saying a little prayer for you on your house closing......I know how stressful it is. We had our home sold last July and the kid dropped out the day before closing.....:( The sad thing is, that made us drop out of another house we were supposed to close on.....We could have taken him to court, but that's not my bag. We decided to add on instead after that, lol. GL, and I hope it goes well, and update when you can, I'm sure they look loverly. Bree

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Awww, thanks Bree. I'm just frantic. I don't feel like doing squat. I'm even afraid to keep packing, in case something doesn't turn out. My house that I'm in now is a total mess. We're wearing the same clothes over and over, just washing them everyday, so we don't have to unpack. There's boxes and crap everywhere. I'm smoking weed like there's no tomorrow, and when I first registered here at cdot, I was smoking maybe once a month. And I'm sleeping a lot during the day, which is what I do when I'm feeling depressed and overwhelmed. bleh.

[Chronic Chrissy]

I'm very weather sensitive. I know what you mean about seasonal depression. Hope everything works out soon. Moving sucks.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thanks hon. It'll work out.

[kindprincess]

the force... is with you.... :D

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

ROFL! We have our final walkthrough at 10am, then on to the signing at 2pm.

[kindprincess]

mrs. green, i HAVE to talk to you, please...

[1chronic]

Hope everything goes well with the house. I can't wait for more pics :)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I would post some, but I can't find my freaking camera. I took some pics last night, then today we went and closed on the house (that was a nightmare) and I think I left my camera in the minivan:(

[geonagual]

Have a good move. Looking forward to hearing about the transfer. NOW, go and get some sleep! LOL

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Geo, I smiled when I saw you had posted on my thread. I'm in such a pissy mood, and you lightened it a bit. Thank you.
Oh, and I just woke up when I posted earlier. After we closed on the house, I got ripped at a bar with our realtor, and came home and passed out for a couple hours. So I'll be up for a minute. I'm debating whether I want to post a bitchfest about the farggin bitch we bought the house from.

[geonagual]

Remember its just doing business. Glad you went out and celebrated after closing. Definitely stressful. Both sides are trying to get the best deal. so it can make it crazy. Might as well make that thread. At least you can get it out and leave it in the past. That is it for me for tonight....time to hit the rack....taking the girls shopping tommorrow. Could be a long day. LOL. Peace. Out.

[KL4D4]

Did you get hit by the storms that hit me up here in the midwest?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

We're supposed to get them tonight. I hope it dies out. We're trying to get stuff moved in, and I hate moving anyway, much less doing it in crap weather.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Actually, I can't remember what all I'm about to post, but the pics themselves have text on them to identify them.
Okay, just so I can keep track of myself...
Food/water/molasses Thursday night. 1/2 gallon each, but only about a tablespoon of runoff. Time to adjust watering amount.

Temps still too high. Quel suprise.

Looking good, but Lily is still too droopy for my liking. Pat is monstrous compared to Lily. Going to raise Lily's pot so she can get some more light. Pat is a pig. Pat is tall and rangy, Lily is shorter and bushier. Some of Pat's fan leaves are the size of my hand.

Took 3 clones from Pat, 2 clones from Lily. I know, I know, but it's still early in flower. I'll reveg them as long as it takes. Sitting in the flower room right now, because I don't have a separate veg area, being as how I am in between two houses. I'll find them someplace semi-permanent in the morning before lights out. Right now they're resting comfortably under a 23w cool white cfl, on the floor of the closet, where it is a million degrees fahrenheit. I made them a cute little bubbler out of a plastic Folger's can covered in aluminum tape to keep out light. I have not the faintest idea in hell what I am doing. Wish me luck!:thumbsup: BTW, my medium for my clones is some cat litter made of silica crystals. I called the manufacturer, they assured me it was inert. I got it at Wal-Mart for I think 3.97USD. It has micropores (like perlite) to hold water.

The shirt is my own design. It's a rough workup. Obviously.;)

On to da pitchurs...

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Just some pics taken in regular room lighting on Thursday. Of course, they are bigger than this now.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

This should do it for now.

[Papi1968]

I just wanted to post you a note and let you know how amazed I am with what you have done. Your awesome :rasta:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Awwww, thank you honey. I love you so much. I think you're awesome. You've accomplished so much this year for us, in such a short period of time. Your determination and drive is astounding. You are a good man, and I will be so proud to be your wife.:s3: :4: :1baa: :clap:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Just thought I'd post a link to the company that makes this stuff. It goes under the brand name of Mimi Litter at Wally World. BTW, it's unscented.
Makall Group Inc. (http://www.silica-gel.com/ViewInfo.asp?id=226)

[kindprincess]

so you got a bubbler working? looks snifty, how big is the airstone?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Good morning kp! The airstone is about 6 inches long, about an inch wide.
I forgot I had those little seedling pots (like 2" big). They worked out perfectly. So now I've got 5 little girls bubbling happily. I'm gonna get some Wilt Pruf today. Let's hope they all pull through. It will save me a buttload of time and aggravation on the next grow.

[1chronic]

Hey Mrs. G,

I love the little clones there so cute.

The two ladys are looking great too, "Pats big ass" lol I love it.:jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thanks 1! I think they're cute too.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Got a 16 oz bottle of Wilt-Pruf concentrate for 4.99 today! SCORE! You mix it 10 to 1 for cuttings and transplants.

[FreeVenice]

your plants look about the same age as mine, but I am only working with one plant, and treating it like a Bonzi tree. Your grow area even looks the same, I'm about to update my 420 thread. I don't really have the whole cloneing thing down, you should see the size of the one I accedently cut. Got any pointers for a newby?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hi Free Venice. Thanks for stopping by.
:) I would love to help, but I'm a noob my ownself. This is the first time I've ever grown cannabis. I'll come check out your thread though.

[FreeVenice]

Thanks, this isn't my first, but it's the first time I concentrated on one plant. It's tuffer when you give to much attention. . .

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Stupid Pat has grown up into the light. One of her leaves has light chlorosis and is limp and hanging. Poor Lily is still short, even though I raised her pot up on a box.
I have to physically pull them out tonight, and make some adjustments. I'm going to tie Pat back down. She's just out of control, and raising the light in the present setup is difficult, to put it mildly.

Watering tonight too, no nutes, just H20, molasses and epsom salts.

Sprayed the clones with Wilt Pruf the other night. (Did I already mention this?) anyway, they are doing well so far. Very green and looking just like they did two days ago when I cut them. In other words, they haven't discolored, or gone wilty or anything negative. :thumbsup: I can't wait til they root! I'll be so excited. Then I have to beg for money to buy some Fox Farms dirt.

In non-cannabis news, I have to repot one of our ordinary houseplants, let's see, what kind is it...a gold cappella schefflera. We got this at Home Depot cause it was cheap. 10 bucks for a nice big plant that we figured would look nice in our new home. We bought a golden pothos too. We think plants make a house look like home. Well the damn thing is sick and shocky. Leaves falling off like mad. So I'm going to repot it tonight, spray it with Wilt Pruf, and put one of my fluros on it, since it's been sitting in a dim corner ever since we brought it home. I hate moving. We've been so busy it seems like we don't have time for squat.http://www.plantlife.ie/shop/images/Schefflera%20Gold%20Capella%20web.JPG

[Bree1978]

I have a dwarf schefflera.....you can bonsai these and air layer them!!! When I moved mine, I put 15w of light over it because it was used to a lot of light (which they like) It helped immensely. Have a great morn, Mrs G. :jointsmile: Bree

[stinkyattic]

Hey greenjeans... mashed potatoes checking in...
Check that your schefflera isn't way too wet. In my experience with those things they seem to dislike being soggy.
I noticed your main man has joined us.. wOOtles!!!

Speaking of wet, yep, I think one of the kids "helped" mama by watering the plant. When I looked in the pot it was standing in an inch of water, and smelled like sulfur. But that's not all. It was so potbound, that the roots had actually grown up out of the pot and wrapped around the base of the plant like a bird's nest. What I thought was a fancy decorator wicker planter was, in fact, plant roots. I trimmed them, and scored the rootball to help it break free. If it lives, I'll be impressed. I pruned it too. In for a penny, in for a pound.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I BROKE PAT!
As mentioned, she had gotten so far out of pocket, that I was going to tie her back down. Well I never made it that far. As I was taking her out of the closet, she bumped her head on the hood of the light, and bent! The top 6 inches just went "doink" at a 90 degree angle. Luckily, she didn't snap clean through. I would have cried, because that's the biggest cola on her. So I just sort of gingerly puuussshhhed her head back upright, and left her the hell alone, only bothering her to give her a drinkypoo. She's holding her head up on her own though, so that's good.

I still don't know what to do about getting her away from the light though. I may have to attach a string farther down on her stem, and just sort of lean her away. I'm kind of at a loss. Let me take a picture, maybe someone else will have an idea.


***time passes***
Oh yeah, she is 27 and 1/4" tall from dirt to tip, and what, 3 weeks into an only god knows how lengthy flowering cycle. This was anonymous bagseed, so I have no idea what strain she is or anything, only that she looks to be sativa dominant. With my luck, I got hold of some strain that's best suited to outdoor growing by swarthy men in camoflage, who have all the room in the world to grow a 10 foot plant with a decade long flowering time. hmph.

Oh right then, this is supposed to be a grow log, not a bitchfest. They both took 3 quarts of water. I suspect I have a manganese deficiency. Correction, I suspect I have a manganese lockout, caused by a surplus of magnesium. Of course, I came to this conclusion after I had watered them with a dose of epsom salts and molasses. Aaaannnd, my soil pH is 6.6. Now, my water pH is frigging 8. So now I need to beg for money for some adjuster. But the furnace in our new house doesn't seem to be working. So I think getting money for pH Down may be challenging. I would borrow it from my mom, but I don't really want to tell her I need it because my pot plants need help LOL! Argh. This is becoming a frustrating week.

That's all for now. Here's the picture of Pat trying to escape through the roof.:wtf:

[Chronic Chrissy]

Poor pat. I hope she pulls through alright.

[Bree1978]

Mrs. G- Sorry about Pat....I snapped one that came back, it was small and certainly not my biggest cola. Also, check carefully, I saw on FOG TV that a plant snapped like that and hermied later.

I've been using real lemon juice for ph down (in the green bottle in fruit section I believe). CHEAP! Might help until you get the professional stuff.

One last thing about that schefflera, thier roots do that. It doesn't necessarily mean it's potboud. They form arial roots (think bonsai). This means it's happy and healthy! Trimming them back was a good thing, they do get out of control. These plants tend to rip up foundations, sidewalks, and plumbing when grown outdoors in tropical climates. I thought mine was rootbound when I got it from someone that was moving out the country...but when I repotted it, this was not the case. In any sense, they can take a lot of pruning when they are healthy...Hope your little bugger does well! ttyl, :jointsmile: Bree

[1chronic]

Poor Pat, hope she turns out okay, any of that hermie business would be crappy. Especially seeing as it's the biggest cola. I hope them little cut-lings root.

Well you are just a treasure trove of info! Thank goodness! I'm not bad with houseplants, but I haven't had a schefflera before. I usually grow african violets and miniature roses and peace lily. I like flowers.

And I do have lemon juice. I'll give that a shot. Thanks hun.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Me too 1chron, me too.
So, when are you going to do some cultivating hmmm?

[KL4D4]

Its funny how we had the same problems... expect my broke clean off an hour or so ago and its sitting there crying with the bandages hardly holding her together I can't see what I'm doing. I went to change my LSTing after I got a hold of Invison in the chat, sat down in my closet with the black light on and then the fan got knocked over which then fell directly on the newly applied LST string. Heavy fan and not so strong plant = snapped in half. I think there is something in life out to get me at this point its ridiculous.

At this point if all is lost I'm just gonna take 20 clippings and try and make clones... I have no seeds and no money for anything else blech

Good luck on the recovery!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hey KL!
What kind of stoner doesn't have random bagseed in the cracks of the couch?:wtf: LOL!
I'm sorry for your misfortune. Pat looks okay today, but if she hermies, I will full on lose it. I still can't get her out of the light.:cursing: She has a death wish.

[geonagual]

"doink"

I can't believe you said "doink". That just killed me. Funny as hell.

Sorry to hear about Pat. She is like the little sister I never had. I hope she recovers from her almost decapitation.:hippy:

[stinkyattic]

What kind of stoner doesn't have random bagseed in the cracks of the couch?.

Word greenjeans, when my last tenant moved out, there I was crawling around on my hands and knees picking seeds out of his carpet... because I KNEW that dude only touched headies! LOL! No brick for THAT pot snob! I think I found like 40 or 50 beans! (plus enough rugnugs to pack a bowl)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

HAHAHAHAA! Nothing like a shag buzz.

[Bree1978]

I usually grow african violets and miniature roses and peace lily. I like flowers.


OH SNAP! I am a flower grower too. I like rudabekkia, (I can't spell today, sorry) azaleas, spider flowers (because they smell and practically look like cannabis!), lilies, and tulips. I have several other kinds in my garden but I don't know all thier names. When there is a blow-out sale I just go buy what ever will fit there, lol. Never got into roses....maybe someday! Let's swap flower garden pics when the growing season starts!
Bree


PS i think your estimation on weight (of the crop) is low....we'll see!


Also edit: I'm an ex dancer, and have tats, piercings too..;)

If I ever get into my fucking house, I'd love to swap pics. I never did post the bitching thread on the issues we're having with this house. Suffice to say that we closed on Friday, and here it is Wednesday and we still aren't in our house. We're temporarily staying at my mom's, which is a thread in itself.:(

[TheGreenFog]

Boink! Hey, Mrs. G. Just got a chance to catch up on the thread. Hope Pat does ok. Like Bree said, I had an issue with a snapped top cola.

Pics:

1 - The plant at start of flowering (about 3 weeks in) - considering using this pic as an avatar... :jointsmile:

2 - The plant right after it had been snapped and re-righted and bandaged with elecrical tape (look at electrical tape)

3 - 15 minutes after Pic #2. :(

4 - That cola took quite a while to overcome the shock. It was at least a week or two behind in growth compared to the other colas in the closet. It did end up beefing up...but then...!

5 - It went hermie. This could have had something to do with other environmental factors, but since none of the others went hermie, plus another test clone of this same strain flowered without hermies, I definitely think that snapping the meristem (thanks canuck) was a big stress factor that caused the plant to go hermie.


Keep an eye on Pat. Daily. Beware of the evil that is hermaphrodite plants. :o


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[Shovelhandle]

Hope the home situation moves warp speed for yas, Mrs. GJ.

Shov (please, do not pee on the plants)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Ugh Fog, that must have been heartbreaking. I hope Pat doesn't do that. There was no outward break. She just sort of bent, kwim? And she looks fine, no droopy or anything.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hope the home situation moves warp speed for yas, Mrs. GJ.

Shov (please, do not pee on the plants)
HAHA! Okay, if you don't make sexist comments any more. I don't need Papi stickin' his chest out and strutting around like a rooster. It'd be a shame to have to hurt him.;)

[canuck grower]

She should recover fine from that. Where it's bent it will form a really hard layer of [something] that's fun to poke at and looks weird. :)

Hope you get your house situation sorted out quickly! Can't wait to see the girls in their new home. How are the clones? -c :jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

The clones look cloney. Not much to tell. I'll take a pic later and put it up. I'm being good and not checking them for roots every 5 minutes. I just stuck them in the bubbler, misted them with Wilt Pruf, and let 'em alone.

Not being able to get in the new house sucks, because I can't set up a grow area. I wanted it set up and ready to rock so I could just whisk my girls from one house to the other. I didn't count on a layover at my mom's.

[1chronic]

Me too 1chron, me too.
So, when are you going to do some cultivating hmmm?

Well probably a short time after my dad and his girlfriend find out I smoke, if they don't know already. We've just never talked about it. But I know my dad grows and I know they smoke alot with their friends, my dad's girlfriend was telling me about it.

I know one things for sure, I'll be growing what ever strain my dad grows, cause my cousin got some off my uncle and told him he bought it off my dad and that shit fucked me up. Me and him split a bowl and we were baked. That's the only time in 2 years I gotten baked off half a bowl, my tolerance is normally way to high for that. So what ever strain it is it's chronic.

The only thing I don't like about growing is watching that disc on the power meter spin like a CD (As delightfully quoted from you.) I'm cheap tho, I'd have to grow enough to be sure it would be cheaper then buying it.

[Markass]

hopefully pat comes through for you...good luck with that greenjeans ;) :stoned:

[whisky]

im not kidding.. the other day i had a dream where my plants grew huge buds and it was such a nice dream. last night i read this and when i went to bed i had the same dream but at the end a bunch of seeds popped on top of the buds and i was screaming aaaaa!!! ... :D im sure nothing will happen to pat keep it happy:jointsmile:

[Prunedale]

Awww thanks Shov! Tell the truth, it's the bras isn't it? LOL!
Thanks for reading. I appreciate knowing that someone is reading and I'm not just hollering down a well.;)

Yea I'm sure its the bras, I like the red one.. =D
Grow Looks Great so far. Keep lovin em
I'm gonna go out do yours and put red panties on my log pictures of my plant in a thong lol. Good idea. :thumbsup:

Didn't I see some plants of yours around somewhere? I thought I left a comment on a thread to you.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Here's some clone pix. Nothing special. I hope they root.

[Trainer07]

hey green jeans, thought i'd drop by just read ur whole thread hope pat fattens up. ps loved the bras :). Good luck with the move and grreat DIY'ing think im falling in love :) x Girl after my own heart x

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thanks Trainer, stop by anytime!
ps. I do it myself cause I'm cheap. LOL.

[Trainer07]

:jointsmile: hey again, im a DIY'er myself from UK tho tuesday spent all day building a 3' by 3' by 3' greenhouse on my balcony for the summer months, i've started off some bagseed and Skunk #1's from Amsterdam and gonna move em outside when the light hours is roughly 12 hrs, about 2 wks, and they should flower naturally. and harvest by middle of may :thumbsup: at moment got a Ruderalis flowering on about 200 watts of CFL's in a cupboard in my flat. Oh Greenhopuse not finished had problems transporting materials home without vehicle :stoned: obviously!

[kdspecial]

Don't Fret...... My Cabinet gets around 90 Degrees some days and I still end up with 50% females and no hermis.

My avg temp is probs around 82 to 84. Espically when its dark perioud for the plants up top 12/12 and I can't open the Cab doors for the bottom thats runs 18/6

And wiring is easy. Just make sure you look at the Voltage and the Amps.

So If the Fan says, 12V DC 300mA

you need a power supply thats atleast 12V DC 0.3A

If you wanted too hook up 2 fans like that you would need 12V DC 0.6A

It ok to have more Amps than you need but not too much more. for example

I run three Fans on one power supply the Fans are 2 X 12V DC 300mA and one 12V DC 200mA

So the PS is 12V DC 1A so that still leaves me with a small bit of room for one more 200mA fan if I like.

Its pretty easy,, never Mix AC and DC currents, Most fans are DC (Direct Current) You'll be in big trouble if you do that.

Good Luck

kd

[kdspecial]

I must have been reading an older post... Srry

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I must have been reading an older post... Srry
No prob kd. Actually, I found your info useful, as I had been wondering about hooking more than one fan up to a power supply.:thumbsup:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

This was the best I could come up with. I actually tilted the light. Which kind of works out.
edit to say : oh yeah, and I leaned Pat's big cola back a bit, and tied it to the shelving.

[FreeVenice]

looking good. I want to try some of Pat when she's ready. . .

Hey, this is a random question but, Is it ok to put a clone under 12/12? Will it start flowering? I heard that it won't flower without roots. Any thoughts?

My plants are slowly catching up. I think I had it to cold in the closet during my dark cycle with a fan on. So I am going to try it without the fan. This does mean no air flow, which might end up bitting me on the butt. . .

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Damn dude, you still awake? HAHAHA!
As for putting a clone on 12/12, I think I read somewhere they should be put on a vegging light cycle. Not sure though. One of the other girls on this thread could tell you better. I have mine on 24/0, because I took them off a flowering plant so I have to reveg them.

It gets down to 60 in my closet. I don't think it's hurt mine any. I do have my fans off though. They don't process CO2 without light anyway.

If you wanna try Pat, you gotta fly to the midwest. I just got back from Cali last month, and I"m not eager to be sealed in a tube breathing other people's germ laden air anytime real soon. I had a killer cold from that trip.

[FreeVenice]

Midwest? I'm driving to mid texas in the begining of april? I don't really like planes either. I love driving, so any chance I get to take my car somewhere I'm there. I think it's going to be like a 20 hour drive, I plan on chopping it down to 15. Although I do want to make a stop for some greens on the way. . .

I want to put it on 24/0 but I don't want to scew it up with the light change. Plus, I don't really have anywhere to put it with good ventilation. I rented this apartment not thinking about the future. . .

Edit: I'll sleep when I'm dead.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

By midwest, I mean one of the states that is one of the original 13 colonies, and is east of the Mississippi, but they insist on calling it midwest anyway. Hmm, think Great Lakes region instead.;)

What cycle do you have your clone on now? Also, I don't know how good my ventilation is on my clones. They're in Papi's closet, so they could have their own light times. I have the door standing open. That's about it. I go in there a couple times a day and talk to them.

[Scarlet Sky]

fv, i don't understand your q...

mrs green....i'm on....

[FreeVenice]

it's on 12/12 now, but I guess I could move it to my other closet on 24/0. I had it like that but I thought I saw mold forming in the dirt so I freaked.

Edit: S.S. I'm really just lost on the whole clone thing. . .

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

fv, i don't understand your q...

mrs green....i'm on....
::Pouts:: I gotta go. I have to be at the new house b4 8am for the water company. I was just about to jump in the shower and wake the big girl up. And the little one is sick. I'll take my laptop with me.

[Scarlet Sky]

NOOOOO!!!!! DON'T CHANGE THE LIGHT CYCLE!

your clone will grow roots, take a cutting, reveg that. you have everything to lose and nothing to gain by taking your plants out of their death cycle.

edit: ok green, we'll see ya later then; gotta work a long one today, so i don't know when i'll be home... just look for me ;)

[FreeVenice]

hey can you go to my thread and check things out. I'm really new to most of this. I did a few outdoor's but nothing so attentive. I'm putting it under 24/0 right now. I just didn't like seeing mold.

[Scarlet Sky]

can you drop me a link?

Well you learn something every day... I had no idea that some states that far east were considered midwest.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I know, stupid innit?
I mean, I suppose back in the day of the original 13 where I live would have been considered the midwest. But the times, they are a changin'. Shit, they done changed. You'd think the nomenclature would have been updated.

[Trainer07]

Hey Bree, I just noticed this edit. Nice ta know ya sister:thumbsup:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Not today I'm not LOL! I look strung out. No sleep. But thank you all the same.:)

[thecreator]

This is a damn good grow log. Im not saying that like im surprised but i've seen so many where all they do is update and leave. They don't interact with any of the posts at all. That is if they decide to update it.:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hey thanks for the kudos Creator! I'm somewhat typically girly, in that I get chatty. I like it that way though. I'm part of a community:)

[geonagual]

What up Sis? Just checking out your log....Has things (the move) almost done? I should be heading out that way in a few weeks.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Back what way? Settled down? Moved? Growing? The midwest?

I think I need a nap. I seem confused.

Okay, now I"m really confused.

[1chronic]

Oh okay, I didn't realize you were a youngun;) :thumbsup: Take your time.

Yep, only 17 but I don't think it'll be too long before I start growing. I need more of that bud I love that stuff and so do my friends so I'd be able to sell it easy.

Any news on the clones? How's pat doing?

[Prunedale]

HAHA! Prunedale's Panties!
Didn't I see some plants of yours around somewhere? I thought I left a comment on a thread to you.

Yep just got one and her clones goin in the bodiebuggie. (mine has wheels)
Located in the Cannabis Pictures area. Everyone seems to nest theirs in different areas hehe. My best to your garden. /exhale

[KL4D4]

I wanna take clones and I see I bought the same root powder as you haha I don't have a bubbler though just dirt and the last time I tried it didn't work...

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

No pics today. My batteries are charging.
I fed with veg ferts today. Too many yellowing leaves. It was interesting. They looked happier within the hour after their meal and drink. pHed my water with lemon juice (thanks Bree!) to a perfect 7.0. Note: 1/8 tsp. to a gallon of water drops the pH one point.
Some pistils are pink from the CFLs that I supplement with. It's neat looking.

2 of 5 clones are beginning to show roots. Oddly enough, Pat doesn't seem to clone well, despite being so vigorous from seed. Lily's clones seem to be doing better. They are all a little droopy, still bright green for the most part, with some yellowing due to rooting.

That's all for now. Pics later.:)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I wanna take clones and I see I bought the same root powder as you haha I don't have a bubbler though just dirt and the last time I tried it didn't work...
KL, try the bubbler. I was talking on IM one night to kp, and she suggested I try making one. Then I remembered that Treetops uses plastic coffee cans for his hydro system, so I just made my bubbler out of that. Total cost was around 10.00USD.

[Scarlet Sky]

wow, that sounds like an interesting system! expensive? no. it's just ghetto :)

hey, were is kp anymore? i never see her around...:(

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Roots = YAY :) Can't wait for pic's. How's Pat doing Mrs. G?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hi 1chron! Pat's going strong. I"ll take pics tonight.:)

[1chronic]

That's great. I'll check back later :)

[1chronic]

I agree!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I am not feeling my plants right now. I feel like I'm hitting a point of diminishing returns. The fucking things won't stop growing, they look awkward and offend my sense of symmetry.

I suppose it's not their fault. I should have flowered them sooner. They are getting bigger than either the location or the light can really support. This makes caring for them difficult. I can't maneuver in there.

My clones aren't cloning. One has a solid root on it, like a taproot. The rest, not so much. I still don't have a shotglass. grrrr.

I don't feel like taking pics or anything.

[Chronic Chrissy]

*Hugs*
They love you and don't mean to be difficult.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Awww thanks Chrissy. Maybe tonight I"ll take them out and really give them a good going over and some attention.

[Prunedale]

Yea take em out when you have a stressful time in your day, watch your skies just turn from grey, they absorb negative emotion and give positive. Go be with them, get that string out and tie that bad boy down hehe. Do the spring thing!.
I'm feeling the exact opposite, I felt like I should have vegged more, its low, thought it was the size of my pot but think its a combo.. Can't wait to see some pics.. How bout one of your foot next to your favorite tree woot! Lol j/k

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Prunedale! I am shocked, shocked I say!

[Prunedale]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Prunedale! I am shocked, shocked I say!

Lol :p

Well the good thing Mrs. G is you will probably get some good buds off these very happy to be growing plants.
