My first grow

ok, at what point do i change the nutes? I heard I switch to straight water at some point near the end, i was thinking 3 weeks but wanna make sure. I will just keep doin what I'm doin til I hear otherwise. They getting Sweet, and botanicare bloom nutes. Growing every day, smellin better everyday too, some of the hairs have turned a little rose, so much trichomes, I got a bit on my camera when taking some shots in there. They are at a month into flower now, I'm thinking another month, but if ones done a little early.. well that'd be great! Soon as one goes out another will go in. Perpetual stone from march of '08 til death. :dance::woohoo:

Damn Deaner they look like my plants!!!! You have graduated to a true grower by the looks of your plants:)

As for nutes keep them going untill the end of week 7, then go to plane water. You are close to the stage where the leaves will start to yellow. Do not be alarmed by this, it is normal. I would not do any harvesting till after week 8. You are about to go into the ripening stage and red pistols are a signal of the begining of this. The buds will beging to swell and put on weight they will also start to get that powdered sugar look.

I reccomend reading up on trichs so to determine when is the best time to harvest, by looking at the trics they will be 3 differant colors Clear, Cloudy, and Amber, these colors can help you at harvest and determine when the plant is ready to harvest.

Other than that great work!!!!!! :)

thanks i was wondering about the leaves and i will mark the end of week seven on my calender. gotta run, i will get some pics up soon.

here they are in order from left to right in order of the soonest to harvest to last (in my guesstimation)

heres some buds, they always look so much better before i compress them. these are also end of 6 weeks flowering shots. the one on the right is of my favorite, i think its the farthest from being ready to harvest. I am seeing the trychs thru my camera, so thats good when it gets time to start really watching them in a few weeks.

Was beginning to wonder what was going on in your grow.

I see everything is fine. very nice pics. The last pic in the individual plants is a monster:) what strain is it?

If you just finished week 6 they are looking great and you learned well grasshopper:)

Just keep the temptation at bay.

hey thanks for checkin in on my lil grow man. I dont know any strains, the big one, the bottom photo, is a seed from a freinds grow, it was good stuff, fruity and stout, my first plant actually. A buddy just said I should bend the colas down so they get more light, like bend them out at a 45? I just dont see anyone else doing that in pics. Keep in touch with my log JG, you have helped all along. I will get my veggin plant pics on here soon, when I find my camera, short term memory loss my ass! Any chance I will get any seeds from these plants?

Oh, big question:
would seeds from brickshitweed grown outdoors in british colombia be worth planting indoors or out? I got a stealthy lil spot in mind outside that I may start them a month before spring indoors, and let them grow in the alaskan summer sun. also maybe wonder if they would fair ok indoors, worth the trouble since I already have alot of seeds? I'm thinking its decent shit that was just left unattended, flavor is spicy, kinda indian foodish flavor, exotic, or maybe thats just the taste of shitweed. Not sativa, hybrid maybe.

Good question.

With the amount of good seeds you already have that will be enough to satisfy your personal needs but if you want to do a gorilla grow for distribution you could go the bag seed route, keep in mind you will only get mid grade price for it.

I am going to do a few gorilla grows this season by investing in some outdoor strains and using cloans.

As for getting seeds from your current plants you need to do selective pollination at around week 3 of flowering. First you need a pollinating male, take a paper bag and cover a branch or cola of a male and shake. Then go to a female lower branch that is starting to flower fully cover with bag and shake again, mark that branch for easy indentification at harvest. Only these buds will have seeds not the entire plant by doing this.

Left to right
overall shot on left
then tallgirl and j5 together
then tallgirls top cola (closest to being ready I think, opinions?)
then bottom is j-5's top cola (2nd closest I think)
I named them for ease of keeping track, names are very creative huh? keep it simple senior is my motto.

now a couple of bestgirl (top left and middle) and a couple of fatgirl (top right and bottom),notice the second pic (middle of top row) ,those are budsites going all the way to the bottom, i thought it was cool. bottom pic is closeup of fat girls top cola. After the pics I pulled bestgirl down a bit to let in some light cuz she looks to be a long ways out, and the tops getting cooked.
