MonkeyBone's Pornstars of the Green!

These are hints from what's comin....
[attachment=o207688]

[attachment=o207689]


Got little time now so I'll let you drool about my little stars :P

Set-up:

Lighting = 2x 42w 6500k cfls + 1x 23w 6500k cfl + 1x 23w 2700k cfl....and more to come. 17h day/7h night. Starting Day at 10am.

Soil = "PlantSmart" Potting soil with Perlite (~70%/30%) no nutes added for now.

Watering = When they need it (For now it's one or twice a week). Ph ~7.2 with digital ph meter

Wind = Fan blowing at low speed indirectly from the plants, so they always move slightly. 24h/24h

Love = Everyday when I come home from work and as often as possible on week-ends.

Born Date:
A. Keys = October 25th 2008 (Left One)
Peachez = October 26th 2008 (Right One)


Peachez is bigger and have more and denser foliage than A. Keys.
A. Keys is a bit stronger from the stem.

So that's it for now.

Questions? Ask 'em.

P.S. Pictures are taken with Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD.

I can shoot it like that..

More to come!!!!

Thanks for subbin and watching my grow!:thumbsup:

More Details...

Temperature:
Daytime: ~83-85f.
Nighttime: I don't know, but less than 80f for sure.

Humidity: Gotta have an hygrometer!

Variety or brand or whatever: I don't know! If someone can find it, tell me!!

ah so the grow log begins... lets see what i can advise on... hmmm, those temps aren't ideal but are acceptable. any ventilation system? if not, i'd invest in one. if not for temps, just for fresh CO2 readily available to the little (hopefully) ladies. you can get a thermo-hygrometer from any garden store for less than twenty bucks. or online. get one with min/max readout of both temp and humidity, and make sure you know how to calibrate it. looking good though, nice work.

Thanks for the support!!

For ventilation, I cannot do anything...it's in a closet and I can't drill a big hole in a wall for a fan or something. Instead I'll make some CO2 with some yeast and sugar. It'll do the trick.

The MODO for this grow is: "Cheap, not Crap".

There is ~100$ in this grow, let's say 50$ more till the end. I HOPE they're females. No. I don't hope. THEY ARE!!! :thumbsup:

Anyway it's a "discover" growth. My 1st grow of ANYTHING. And to date it's not bad at all! I think they are strong plant and they can support a lot of things.

So if I care enough, they'll grow excellent!


No HPS, no MH only CFLs. Trying it! No, I'm doin' it!:D

Good luck to you on your grow i'll be keeping an eye on it for sure!

right on about the ventilation. definitely supplement CO2. i as well support cheap grows, and yes MJ is a hearty plant. hell, its a weed. but i have seen/heard grows go wrong when the grower leans to heavily on this philosophy. so they are hearty, but also worth taking special care of. :jointsmile:

For sure I take care of them. Look closely on my first post!!!

Love = Everyday when I come home from work and as often as possible on week-ends.

I checked the moisture of the soil..plant my finger on the inner side of the pot at about 2" deep and felt the soil is moist..The plants feel alright so no watering for now! I'll let them be dry a bit. Overwatering is the #1 biggest problem, with overnuting'em. I'm not letting them dry out. But I won't water them everyday!

They're in big pots so its normal that it takes longer to the moisture to go away.

Last watering was when I transplanted them, last sunday, November 2nd. I misted a bit their soil on tuesday. Don't ask why, just felt that way.

Next watering will be tomorrow or sunday.

What should I use for fert, I know I should go with something that dilutes in water. But for the power, 20-10-10 is enough?

1/4 the normal amount the first time and i'll see how they react to it. I think I'll go with that. oh and should I get something with micronutrients too?

Everytime I ask some questions to somebody they asks "What are you growing?" My answer is "Hot Peppers, and they'll be really nice!!":thumbsup:

Updates...
Watered them yesterday.

Took pics 2d and Peachez is already exhaling some sweeeeet perfume!!!

Look at her!

Peachez and A.keys
[attachment=o207956]
[attachment=o207957]

They look freaking wonderful!!!

Had a picture frenzy of them and these are some of the shots. Damn I think I found my 3rd passion..4th? Cars, womens, growing stuff, taking pictures!

A.Keys is 15 days old and Peachez is 14 days old...

One thing I've discovered, A.Keys is growing a bit slower than Peachez but she got some pretty 7 leaves per leaf? is that how you say it? And peachez got some big 5 leaves per leaf.


Lights are at 3-4" from the top.

Update on temperatures,
Day: ~82f
Night: ~73f


Thanks for watching and for your support!

good shit:thumbsup:

i wish mines would have looked that good in the beginning but i didn't have the right lights and just recently got cfl's but mines are about 3 weeks right now and are strecthed to hell but yours looks good i'll be stopping by to check on them...:rastasmoke:

WTF! i cant beleive that ur secondary growthes are coming in so nicely!? your gonna have a very, very lovely couple going there i can tell, congrats :rastasmoke:

They are growing nicely!

Mythbusters proved that when plants listens to Metal Music they grow stronger....It works!!

lol no friend, secondary growthes are the stems branching off of your main stem. im very jealous beacuse i have been LSTing my plant to promote alot of growth in those branches and yet it still dosnt have the size of growthes that urs does without any kind of training.

HAHAHA ok man i'm a newb!

They are freaking large man...a bit less than the main stem but they are wide.
That'S one of the things that strike me the most when i discovered that.

These big branches belongs to Peachez.....A.Keys is a bit shy on lower leaves.

I'm too lazy to post pics...(Got to d/l them from my camera then edit them and stuff...maybe later tonight)


Edit: Watered them today!

Nice Log! You going to try to Lst or Top them?
-Swisha

ah i see, well plants (like people) are just different from one another, some act differently than others. when those secondary growthes get large enough, u might want to consider tieing them off to the side to get them out from underneath the canopy of ur main stem; allows for more sunligh to hit and thus even bigger.

imma stay tuned on this grow cuz im new too. i grew two plants back like 3 years ago when i had very little knowlege (fundamentals really) about growing. i just recently got back into it and im at just about the same stage as u are with one of my plants, so it will be cool to see how differently we progress through this fun little ride, happy growin :hippy:

Yeah man!

Got a coworker who planted a seed soon this summer, and man I've got more leaves on my almost 3 weeks olds plants than on his 3 foot tall skinny thing. But since last week I told him to buy more lights and put them nearer the plant. And it works! His plant grow more and bigger leaves!

So let's see how mines are!!!

19 and 18 days old!

Temps dropped a bit to 77f daytime and 70f nightime. I'll do something for that.

AH! loving the pic of ur plant at ground level, (growthes are coming nicely as i expected) i just fed up my plant, increased its level of training, and brought my lights underneath the canopy to help promote more growht for the extra branches and im catching up, but not quite where ur at haha.

how do u plan to keep your temperatures under regulation?? i dont have a thermometer but im going to assume that my temps are not as ideal as i can make them

Well, my temp is going crazy now.... Day at 76f, night at 61f. It's becoming cold in there...maybe because the closet in where they are is above outside (I'm at the 2nd floor, and there's a porch on 1st floor under my closet.) So freaking cold is entering my closet.

I'll get a little 300w heater to put in there with a timer for night time. I'm not sure because it's a tight place and I don't want overheating.

I got to think on something, if you guys have ideas, tell me!

Got my little heater fan and a new timer, I've set it so it starts with my big fan when my lights shuts off. Auto thermostat so it starts when it needs to.


Temp should stay between 70 and 78f
I'll check tomorrow on my thermometer (got a memory on it so it records temperature every hour for 100 hours, so I know how temp goes at night)

I'll post pics of the upgraded setup tonight!

Thanks for your support and encouragements!

And my almost 3 weeks old babies! they are 6" tall and 11" in diameter!

Nice Like the Setup

Good Luck
Looking Good

Today, I'm not at home, so no pics! First night with the Heater fan, steady at 76f. Works wonderful!

Pics will be tomorrow!!

Sweeet! Watered them yesterday

So saturdays and tuesdays are the watering days as for now.
They look fantastic. Once or twice a day I open the closet'S door about 1/2 hour and I let the fan breath some fresh air from the back room. So fresh CO2 everyday! And tomorrow I'll try to make some CO2 with yeast.

Day temp: ~83f
Night temp ~76f
I gotta get an hygrometer. Thursday is payday!!!

ahh coming along nicely, they look veryyyy healthy and upright. looks like ur one plant is gonna have 2 considerably big tops come in on that one plant.. great pics

So, the fun begins. Yellowing leaves and paling green leaves appeared on both, especially on Peachez.

Water at 7.7ph
Watered them saturday and tonight.
I really don't know what it can be. Forgot to close the closet lamp while working in there (not one of the 4 i'm using but the one on the ceiling).So they haven't slept for 2 days..

Soil with no nutes (a leftover from the Schultz I used with seedlings but nothing else).

Underwatering? Not enough nutes? Light issues? Humidity related trouble? (don't have hygrometer yet..)

Thanks always for your support

Oh and they stopped smelling "cannabis" smell, they smell like any other plant now, is this normal?

im not an expert yet;) but im pretty sure 7.7 is to high for soil and that locks ou nutes so try to get your ph under control and that might fix it but definately get a second opinion:jointsmile:

Time to fert I think, it'll lower th soil ph and I think they need it. Felt it last week but had no time to seek for nutes. Tomorrow they'll have what they need.:thumbsup:


Is it okay to water them with fert tomorrow even if I watered them today?

hmm, well if theres no nutes being given, maybe u should consider it? (this is just an assumption, dont jump to conclusion but look into it) i know that seedlings should be started in unferted mix (which uve done i see) but ass they mature into an adult and really get into veg, they need those nutrients, perhaps that could be it but again, just an assumption.

that might not be a bad idea to use ferts the next day, this way the plant has water and so wont be soo thirsty and suck up too much nutrients at once.as well, by assumption (so i like to hypothesize a bit) maybe the water already in the plant might make the flow of nutrients smoother and less shocking to the plant. so as long as ure starting on low dossage (i started at 1 4th of recomended, and worked my way up) then u should be ok to try it, just not heavy watering (dont needa drown the fellers)

Thanks FunkMEister (#1 fan of my grow man).

It lures towards nute. the more I read the more it's a nitrogen problem (got purple stems too).

And I think you are right about watering and fert tomorrow. I won't water and fert too much. 1/2 of what i think is the lowest. But I want them to heal!

I'm going for a 20-10-10 liquid or powdered (with micro-nutes and all the good stuff). I will see tomorrow. But I think the liquid will win. Already soluble and stuff.

I got the best seat to know what they need but opinions from others are always usefull!

Thanks Alot:thumbsup:

PS: I'll be off in the woods from Friday pm to Sunday. I'll water them tomorrow with nutes, I'll up a bit the lights (so they don't grow too much and hit them) and set the heater fan to 80f. Other stuff I should check?

i'm 99.9% sure thats a nitrogen deficiency. 20-10-10 oughtta fix it within 3-4 days.

Monkeybone, how is that heater fan treating you? I've been eyeing it every time I'm passing through waly-world

Sup Monk Monk
Yo, yo plants look Good. Once u fix your problem. I love the way your leaves stand out like that. Mine always fuckin droopy. oh Well :wtf::wtf: Anyways Shits coming along good for you. Hope the best of Luck to you
-Swisha

Nutes bought

Organic N + P + K separately, so I can do my own mix. Gave them some yesterday and today they feel wonderful!

Heater fan = if it got a thermostat it's a wonderful thing to have. You set the temp at 80f, it will start when it needs to. But watch your humidity, heater fan will drop it considerably. Bought an hygrometer, 29% humudity. Put some wet clothes and a bucket of water (1.5 liters) and today 42% humidity. Better off this way.

Swisha man, if your leaves are wide and big and droopy, your humidity it too high.Check mine, they are long and pointy, a bit too dry in there.

Bought 2 42w 6500k cfls, what a difference! It's freaking bright in there!

I will post pics when I'll be back from the "trip to outerspace in the woods with shroomys :D" Sunday evening or monday!

Have a great week-end guys and girls!

My babies will have 1 month this week-end! 7" tall and 1 foot across!

Haha u crazy fool. Have fun on Mars.

ive got 12 CFLs running (2 at 27w (at 5500K) and 10 and 26w (at 6500k) and my area is lit up like the fuckin 4th, just be careful for urself and the plants because apparantly, if broken, they can cause serious mercury poisoning thru the lungs and shit, so if they break, RUN AND TELL AN ADULT! unless of course u are an adult, in which u just curl into fetal positon and call the po-9 (OFFICER MY WEED PLANTS GONNA DIE!)

so be safe, on behalf of u and ur little buddies

Mars was magical. The fire was a reactor which propulsed us at lightspeed right into the big bang. Wonderful, just wonderful. :angelsmiley:

And for the pics update. Here they are!!!

The 2 chairs, took us far beyond imagination....And the fire...oh! the fury of the fire!

thats a beautiful set-up man.

ill add that .1%

its a nitrogen deficiency. just add 10-10-10 or 20-10-10 nutes and lower your ph to 6.7-7.1 and they will be good to grow ;)
