Thanks Maingrown,
Talking to the friend who grew these seeds. She had MANY males pop up in her yard last year. She said she was pulling them as fast as she noticed them, however those may have been DAD. Also sounds like odds are against these being female, as SO many in her yard were males. We'll continue with them just for the experience.
So, yesterday was 4 weeks for plant2 and the day before was the same for Plant1. If what I've read is correct I should see preflowers in about 2 weeks??
I'll be starting the grow room build soon too. Once that happens these are either female, or lizard food! :D
Hah, my tortoise is brumating otherwise I'd give him the leaves/shoots I trim! Take a pic of that if you can :thumbsup:Quote:

I have a little time though. Going to be a few weeks until I can start building up the room and a few past that before I'll have plants ready for the room. So, I'll feed the males to her as a good going away present.:(
Heya all,
Been six days sense new pics. I've been Dog/House sitting for my boss up in the hills. I stop by every day to tend plants, feed cats and fish and iguana. However not been home to see them change all day. It's been kind of exciting to see them only once every 24 hours. :thumbsup:
So, the flush did the trick on the nute burn, Stopped it dead in it's tracks. I have two rough looking leaves on plant2. Plant1 has a couple burnt tips, but nothing bad. Neither clone or plant3 was effected at all. I watered with nothing except PH set water yesterday. However relied on sun light only today until this afternoon. Hence the pointing of the clones! :D
On to the pics.
Plant1 (all LST) Pics 1, 2
Plant2 (topped (and LST'd to expose more)) Pics 3, 4
Plant3 (natural and taller every day) Pics 1, 2
Durban poison clone,.. Pics 3, 4
Lastly the G-13 and Afgan clone. (sorry I said Haze before and was corrected)
Check this out. Top of Plant3 (natural) when I got home today.
IT'S A GIRL!! :thumbsup:
(or at least the top of her is).
Still on 40 on /8 off, so must be mature enough. We'll see how the other two look in a couple days.
Right on, I just noticed my kushberry is a female today too! Funny thing is I took a clone and flowered it to find the sex, but preflowers showed up on both of them at the exact same time, one on 24hrs light & the other on only 10...
Over the last couple weeks I dealt with nute deficiency and root binding.
First as I said above I over flushed to stop the nute burn. So I started BC nutes at 1/3 of 1/5th strength. My yellow leaves started to green up a little. However then started dropping like flies. Didn't take long for me to figure out I was root bound again. Sense the growth had also stopped.
So the three got much bigger pots and fox farms Ocean on this last Wednesday. They responded by the next day with faster lifting tops. :thumbsup:
Sense they hadn't really grown much for a while I let them recover a few days before pics.
Pics 1, 2 are plant1. SHE has female parts on every node. :thumbsup: That yellow leaf has been that way ALL week, sense the nute deficiency.
Pics 3, 4 are plant2. IT hasn't shown any sex yet! :wtf:
Pic 5 is plant3. Also shows female across the board. :D(TOO tall though)
Here are pics of the clones progress
Pics 1, 2 are Durban poison
Pics 3, 4 are G-13 / afgani
Howdy all! :D
Been 20 days since I posted. Been a bit busy here. Been doing side jobs for extra money(Auto repair), Also been trying to buy a wrecked truck.
Last Saturday I bought a 1000w switchable system. I also gave up my iguana to some really good people (almost jealous of where she lives now). Then partially converted the room I'll be growing in. :thumbsup:
Issue is still money. So I have no ventilation and have to keep the room door wide open during lights on. My floor is uncovered but will soon get white tile. Plan is to cover the window with foam insulation (currently a doubled up army blanket).
All three are just over two months old. I started 12/12 last Sunday.
Pics 1, 2 are Plant1 LST with no cutting.
Pics 3, 4 is plant2 Topped (now showing sex on only one branch)
Pic 5 is natural (now 3' 4" from soil to top)
Here are a couple pics of the room from last Saturday.
Wow, lotsa growth in your time away! Sorry to hear you had to get rid of your Iggy, but at least it's to a great place. My fiancée is having to get rid of her Degus because she's becoming allergic to their dander, and it's hard since she raised them from babies.
How are you thinking of hooking up the ventilation? I noticed your hood is definitely coolable but are you just going for the fan pulling through there or are you going to get another for just the room air if necessary?
Yea, it's a bummer having to give up a pet. I adopted her as a companion to the male I already had. She was three when I got her. However Larry died at 17(ish) this last summer. Sence then she's been in a room alone, just stairing at the walls. I really felt bad for her every day when I'd feed. Which was why I got her FOR him, 11 years ago.
The rescue that took her has two large solariums with branches and shelves to bask in. There were other iguanas all over the place. Just like in Columbia!:thumbsup:
So, It's for the best. For her and me(plus I want to live where she now lives!):D.
As for ventilation. Yes, I plan to cool the hood. I bought this set up over the cool tube I'd planned. Because changing bulbs in the cool tube would be a pain. I plan to buy a second identical to this one as well. Then I plan to pull air from my hallway through the light. Then the hot air will be routed under the floor and up to the living room. Thus saving that heat I already paid to make. Then because it gets really hot here in the summer. I plan a second fan to pull heat from the room ceiling, on a thermostat. Only pulling heat out IF it gets to hot. I need to get a scent reducing filter for that one. Because that heat will go outside.
Unfortunately, I found mites on one of the clones. Damb near dripping off the plant. I looked at the THREE (notice I said three) big girls, for damage or webs. I found a few leaves with spots but no webs.
So, (oh joy) I misted the infested plant and put it outside where it was about 30F. After about 2 min I grabbed the plant and took it to the bathroom. I rinsed off all I could see. Then also did the same to the other clone. I called weeding4you who brought over some shackley basic H soap. Then we soaked each plant with this stuff and rinced that off.
I had a lousy vacume. So I went and bought one that uses bags and actually would SUCK!:D Then cleaned, cleaned and cleaned some more. I put a hotshots pest strip in the "flower room" after cleaning the room over and washing each of those plants. Last night I allowed the room to get as cold as I could (64 deg F) to slow any breeding. I also desolved three pounds of dry ice in the room for an increase in CO2.
Today I found out my boss had mites, got them early last week and never bothered to tell me!:mad:
So I borrowed a couple tablespoons of his neem oil.
I havn't/can't find any live mites at this point. I still see specks of something under some leaves (which bothers me). However nothing moving.
Now, off to see HOW Neem oil kills them. I also need to find out how much CO2 is in a pound of dry ice. Plus I've used Mayonaise to clean and shine house plants before with great success. So, I may try that on a leaf or two and see what happens.
That didn't take long,..
It says: "It disrupts insects' hormonal balance so they die before they molt to the next life stage."
Cool!:thumbsup:
To add to that, I found,..
Neem oil is ingested by the insect or mite, either through direct consumption or by eating plant matter with neem in the tissues.
Once in the beasty, it disrupts the critters ability to act like what it is. It's like it looses it's mind. They forget to eat, breed, hatch or molt. Thus causing them all to die over a week or so. Many simply leave the plant as soon as they smell the stuff. However mites can't leave, they just eat some and like a stoned teenager, they get couch locked! :D
I guess Neem doesn't cause munchies though!
Dry Ice,... One pound = 8.3 Cubic feet of CO2
To achieve 1500ppm I need to release 0.54 cubic feet per hour into the room. Assuming all is lost in 30 min (because the room is sealed with towels):D
So, by dissolving nearly 3 lbs in the room. I let 24 cubic feet of CO2 into the room over three hours. Which I think calculates out to 19200ppm average for those three hours.
I read somewhere 10,000ppm would kill mites and eggs too.
Plants seemed to love it. Not going with the mayo idea.:D
Well,.. Plant2 (topped) is a hermi!
This plant nearly refused to show sex. Both of it's sisters showed sex around three weeks ago. This one waited until a week and a half into 12/12 to do it. So, I semi expected it.
Oddly(at least to me) is the female parts were easily seen a few days ago. however male parts are jammed right up against the female parts and didn't show up until today.
He/ She/ IT will die today!
Bummer, it happens though
Well not one sign if a mite in 6 days! :thumbsup:
I did the final LST session night before last. Leaving plant1 with an amazing 112 nearly level colas! :yippee: she's woven like a basket, but WOW is all I think when I see her every evening.
Plant2 (iffy) got chopped up and frozen for his/her sex change.
Plant 3 is WAY to tall! :D I doubt it'll produce what plant1 will.
I plan to hit them with one more dose of the Neem oil this weekend, because I read somewhere not to use it after two weeks of flower. Which is Sunday.
Well enjoy!
Well just to get SOMETHING up. I can post a single pic before I figure out how to shrink these! :D
Here's the LST
Here's the natural.
Pics from last Saturday. Things are a bit puffier now, but not much different.
I just noticed, it's a dog hair in pic 1. :D
I just finished your thread Vance and you did great man:thumbsup:. If ya want your plant not so tall, just bend it with some twine and tape it to the pot. All your branches will grow to the light and will be bigger in the end. I had to do this because of space problem and it worked out great. Just tie what ever you use to the top of the plant and push in the middle of the plant to sorta bow it, then tape it in place on your plant. Just an idea, as it worked for me.Quote:

I'm still a bit nervous about the bug issues. Although I can't find any mites on them. They WERE there, and I'm still exposed to an infestation every day at work.:mad: All I can do is be diligent, and hope for the best.
At four weeks tomorrow, I'm getting very antsy too.:D I'm really looking forward to seeing my buds fatten up! I was always worried I'd make a mistake along the line, but now I'm just hoping to see a good finish.
Wouldn't mind seeing all those stretched up colas fatten up into giant bud masses though! :D
Hey all,
I have yet to use Molasses, but plan to buy some before the next nuted watering. Things are definitely filling out too!:thumbsup:
My boss is finally doing something about his bugs, so that issue is finally being resolved as well.:D
So I just took these before lights out. Again this is 32 days of flower.
And the natural
Hey Vance, Change your mood Icon! Makin you look bad dude! lol
Altho, the plants are lookin mighty fine!
:rasta:
Thanks, I was mad about 1284 yesterday. :thumbsup: (still am, but there's time at least)Quote:

http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-pro...wn-leaves.html
Today the plants looked a bit rough. So, I Kind of repotted into the same pots (however with extra soil under and on the sides). I doubt I'll be waiting much more then three weeks until harvest. So hopefully this is enough to get them by.
I'm starting to see a little more bulk now! :thumbsup:
However since the re-pot I've seen three nanners, and using tiny tweezers picked them out. I can only hope I got them all.:wtf:
I took these pics last night. Which is 43 days into flower. With bulk starting to come on I decided to take and post some pics as reference for future comparison. :D
very nice plants you have there seems like a pretty good test huh lol cant wait to see the dried and cured buds:thumbsup:
Hey all, I've got about 20% cloudy in the LST, and about 40% cloudy on the natural. Plus some of the colas are getting a bit heavy for the LST. :D
Here are pics from tonight. I've also been assisting the natural plant, in staying up. It's gotten SO top heavy it wants to lay down. :thumbsup:
A few more shots, sorry a few are a bit blurry.
Tonight, as my buds get heavier by the day. I decided to tie them UP!:D
Looks good!:thumbsup:
UPS guy;)
Tonight I finally added a 465cfm cage fan and ducted it through the hood, then through the floor(to be redirected later). :thumbsup:
Once turned on, I cleaned up. After about 5 min of clean up, the hood was cool to the touch. With the door closed (first time, with lights on) the room stayed at ambient house temp, of 75f before sun set.:yippee:
Unfortunately, I needed to turn the lights out for tonight's 12. So no pics until tomorrow. Overall room temps should stay lower tomorrow too. Due to not heating up in the first place. :rastabanna:
Alright, here are some pics of my newly ducted hood. Currently 72F in the room WITHOUT the oscillating fan (using it elsewhere for a bit).
I cut a hole in the wall between the room and the hall closet. Then attached the fan to the duct, through the wall.
I plan to eventually add a second hood. So, the ducting will simply be split where the new one will go. Then attached without much more modding to the ducting itself. :thumbsup:
