Definetly keeps you occupied and is very rewarding. The difference between us is nobody in my outside world knows I'm growing. The only place I can talk about it is in here. I do this for everyons safty and especially mine. "Loose lips sink ships":(
So it is very nice to have this outlet to help and talk to fellow growers.:)
my new veg shelf, not real thrilled about it, but it was easy and should be ok for now.
hey anyone care to give a guess at what i may get from my plants, yeild wise? I am hoping if all 4 stay female, then 3 ounces, 3 plants are similar size, 1 is a bit smaller. Am I expecting too much? What is a good goal for yeild? 2 ounces per plant? Should I add the Sweet yet, how bout going full strength on the bloomin nutes?
As for the sweet stuff, go ahead and start using it, go to full strength nutes next watering( Note: as per directions on nutes for every watering.)
Yeild? HMMMM. 1 oz per plant is low for your situation, 2oz. would be about average, 3oz above average, 4oz possiable. It varys greatly, The one plant that I harvested early and dried quick came out to 37g. I thought this would be higher. very light and fluffy. Then for a smaller plant, I did the lengthy 3 day dark period before harvest and hung the entire plant(trunk up) to dry for 7 days came out to 31g. I thought this would be lower. But damn this is he way to dry the buds, they came out super sticky (touch one and it will stick to your fingers like they have glue on them) plus very tasty, with a higher density and weight.
But as I look at the remaining big mamma plants still in the box, I predict between 3 to 4 oz. per plant. :) there is a huge differance in bud size from the previouse 2 plants
Im guessing 2-3 ounces dried, from the looks of your plants they look good and large enough. Ive used 1 tsp of sugar per gallon or mollases for the last 3 weeks of flowering and they put on a crazy amount of weight.
wow, i am stoked! Definately try the sugar or molasses. Full strength nutes today, and the sweet. I saw a little area of one leaf just covered in little crystal dust stuff. Just wanted to lick it! I've been without for like 3-4 days! My favorite plant stilllooks great, all 4 have the hairs coming out of them. Another week or so before I should see any actual budding I guess. I gotta make sure I got alot of smoke on hand when it comes to waiting at the end so I can be patient, 3 days in the dark, a week drying, thats gonna be a long 10 days!
its jan 13th and they keep looking better and better! more hairs, lots more growth, very thick. I lost my camera so I gotta describe. The stuff between the nodes will fill in with the buds right? Thats were alot of the growth is happening, all the leaves I am leaving alone, I was trimming a leaf a day, but read not to cuz you need the leaves for the plant to make buds, anyway, its very dense so thats cool. They are making me proud so far! One of my sprouts fell over, too tall or something, hopefully itll be ok, I dont have as many clones as I thought would make it, but should be plenty.
Can I repot them at this point? they seem a little too big for the pots, but kinda intimidating to try and do since they are so big, but they are in like 2 gallon pots, and 1 is in a smaller, like 1 gallon.
You probably could put them into a bigger pot, just be real careful. There going to need that growing space. 2 gallons is small.
I did not know they were in that small of pots! You definetly want to repot to 5 gallon buckets. I put mine in 5 gallon buckets when they go into the flower box. When I havested two small plants in 5 gallon buckets the root systems used every bit of space available. If you do not repot what will happen is about mid way thru the flower cycle they will stop growing due to root constriction.
I also was intimidated at first transplanting such large plants, What you do is let the plants go without water for 2 days to let the soil dry as much as possiable without herting the plants, this lowers the weight of the rootball. Next fill the new bucket with soil 1/3 full ( you can measure by placing the old bucket into the 5 gallon then add or remove soil from the 5 gallon bucket till you have the top of the soil in the old bucket to the level in the 5 gallon at where you want it to be.
Now take your left hand and place the stalk of the plant inbetween your 2 middle fingers and spred your fingers out as much as possiable, now turn the bucket upside down supporting the rootball with your left hand, now gently shack the bucket up and down with your right arm untill the rootball comes free from the bucket, now slowly remove he bucket from the root ball while still upside down, the root ball will remain intact with the roots holding everything together. Now take your right hand and place it directly in the center of the bottom of the exposed rootball and turn so plant is right side up and gently place in the 5 gallon bucket, you most likely will be able to grab the sides of the root ball at this point the roots are holding everything together. Now add soil around the sides and gently pack down. Water with flower nute formula until water comes out the bottom. and you are done.
I have one this several times now and never have had a problem.
