I just got home from looking at a Percheron for a gal. Its been a very good day.
Im happy ... now out to the garden for the important stuff. :jointsmile:
Gilbert
hey look i eed to know a couple of things please first is this a good set up 4 35w 48" fluorescents and 3 13w cfls a fan and ordered dyna gro and ph up and ph down second is are these good nutrients i have bloom and grow and are the ph up and down easy to use will i have a good yield im using easy ryders and ive heard theyll grow anywher under any conditions. and should i keep the fluorescents on top of the plants andput the cfls at the middle or bottom of the plant :rastasmoke::pimp:
Indeed it is! :BLUE SMILIE SPAM:Quote:

How did the pony look? I swore I'd never do it again but I have a waspy filly I'm going to get going and put on the track. Right now I weigh 160# so I figure I should while I'm at breaking weight. Oh yeah,I need some money too!
You guys please stay on topic.
I am a little cranky right now. No sleep for 2 days and in pain. Seeing this, using of my thread as a chat room, is really getting on my nerves. :mad:
Looking nice dude, you having fun yet? :)
Mine's doing well, got some clones going which will double my Aurora Indica supply in my veggie garden, got a bagseed one to sex and this weekend going down and trading in/upgrading my hps to a 600w, after doing some research on lumen output, it's a good choice for me.
I aquired a Mango plant, but it's really viney and definitely a lot of sativa, might be much use but for small cola plants. And, got a Catnip plant that's looking great, gotta look out for my kitties too :)
I sure am having fun with it. :D
I am kind of excited about the one I call "Indica Maybe". Down where the leaves join the node, I got shoots busting out. I really didn't expect them to start that so soon. After all, it is only on its 15th day, and they only really started to be noticeable yesterday.
note: I count from the day the seedling breaks the soil. They were all germinated in soil.
Now I am looking at the remaining undecided 5 plants. I think it is time to transplant, so I need to pick the healthiest one. With the lights I got and the amount of space, I need to bring it down to two plants. I planted a bunch of bag seeds in hopes of at least a few of them being good genes. Looks like it may be paying off.
One thing cool about it is, when the plants that are eliminated get dried out, I'm going to smoke them. The last few I had to remove were way smaller and still gave me a nice buzz. :jointsmile:
Sure do hope the ones that make the cut turn out to be female. If I am lucky, both will be. If less lucky only one will be. That's not a show stopper though. I'll smoke that male plants buds too.
If both of them get balls, maybe I can stress them and make them hermies. Then I would get some female bud. Also I would pollinate them with their own pollen and have sure female seeds for the next try. :thumbsup:
I have culled two male plants so far and a couple of clones that didn't take well. Hated to do it, but it's a strict Matriarchy in my garden :)
Do you have limited light/space forcing you to pick and choose?
Yeah, I have limited lights, and that causes me to have limited space. There are two 2700K CFL's waiting on the shelf. They will be added when my plants get bigger and budding. Still, with what I have, I think one plant would be about the limit.Quote:

I have seen some pretty amazing things people have done with a single plant, using LST/ScroG techniques. Several zips from a nice bush, a little beyond me. I'm having enough trouble keeping one of mine tied down and back, it's skyrocketed in height since moving to the tent.
Christmas ornament hooks on both ends. Put one end around the stem of the plant and the other on the edge of the pot. You can drill holes to accommodate the ornament hook on the side of the pot. LST works great and you end up with several colas.Quote:

Down to the final contestants. Droopy and Indica Maybe made the cut. All the rest of the seedlings were made into sacrificial offering to my brain. Got 3 bowls out of them, and actually got a buzz.
I use my laptop camera to take pics. They get rotated, cropped, flipped and other wise edited. No editing is done to make them look better than they really are.
Here you go.
If you want to see more pics, check the link in my sig.
Grin, you smoked seedlings?
Plants are coming along well, gonna be a long 12-16 weeks before they're done, but smoking your own meds should be a nice feeling.
Here's my veggies:
:)
Sure did smoke them. They all had 3-4 nodes on them. Judging from the info in my growers guide, and how old they were, they must of had a whooping .5% THC. Really didn't think I would get a buzz, but I did.Quote:

Questions about your plants:
1. how old are they?
2. are they stretched?
3. do you know the genetics?
The plants range from 4/7-4/27 when planted. A couple of them are clones, didn't think they'd grow so fast. The two biggest of them just moved into the tent.
I doubt they've totally stretched, my first in the tent went from 11 to 34 inches. I use halide so they just kind of get bushy.
They are Femanized Aurora Indica and Freebie pack of Afghan Kush, got 8 out of 10 AI through and 1 out of 5 Kush was female, 2 died and I destroyed 2 others.
:)
Yours really look like Grape Krush to me, those ruffled leaves are very distinctive. It's supposed to be wonderful smoke.
http://wonderfulworldofcannabis.com/...ed_white_2.jpg
I got some Grape krush from Grass Roots and 2 seeds were in the bag, one didn't do anything and one grew very retarded, one sides leaf sets etc... very disappointing.
I see! A lot of the time, I see a plant grow log and think they are stretched. Then I notice the uneven nodes and find they are clones. Back in the day (29 years ago) I never remember anyone doing clones. So all this clone stuff is new to me. The rest I have to relearn and/or learn new stuff.
That would be fine with me if "Indica Maybe" turns out like Grape Krush. I would be happier than a pig in slop. :hippy:
I'm having a great time cloning, just planted my second set and they turned out even better than the first, almost no yellowing and no drooping.
I think I lucked out with my strain choice, it's very easy to clone. I've read of a few with femmed seeds that had a hard time cloning.
I'm glad it's going well.
Yeah yeah, it's been great!
Here's a pic of clones I cut about 5 weeks ago, before I put their moms into the tent. Going to cut them soon making it my third generation in place :)
Pepurr, I've been reading your posts with interest. I have a plant that looks just like your mystery girl (thinking positive!) If you figure out what it is, let me know. I just planted the seeds that I had saved for who knows how long... if it's good smoke, and there's a seed, what do you do - you save it, right? And as soon as I got my permit, into the dirt she goes!
BTW, I'm fertilizing mine with worm poop, none of this commercial stuff. The plants seem to love it! :clap:
My babies are growing like a weed. Pun intended.Quote:

I'll post some pictures in a few days. I'm waiting because it looks like I see a small nub of a flower on one. I have been keeping an eye on them for pre-flower. Keep my fingers crossed, it will be a female.
The other I haven't seen any indication of flowering on Indica Maybe. Hoping it shows sex this weekend.
Wow, pepurr. You definitely have a green thumb. Those are some gorgeous looking plants. They don't show a hint of nutrient deficiency or light stress. What kind of nutrients are you using?
Thanks Sam!Quote:

I do have a concern. I'll make some photos and post them later. The lights haven't come on yet so I have to wait.
Here it is day 25 of the grow. I was going to wait till Tuesday to post pics because then they will be a full month old. There is a concern with one plant so I post early looking for input.
On the Indica Maybe, the lower leaves are getting discolored on the tips and edges that turns into dead areas. The first 2 baby leaves have completely died. Maybe that is normal due to its age. Look at the first pic and you will see the problem.
Droopy hasn't had this problem. Please don't tell me it looks like Droopy needs water. It gets the same as the other. I believe its droopiness is just a trait of that one plant. Droopy is the one I seen what looks like the start of flowering. Tiny little nubs, but they are in the right place. I'll know more later.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I am using my lap top camera. You can find more pictures if you click on the link to my grow log. You can find the link in my sig.
Looks like you have a vitamin or mineral deficiency.
Have you tried adding a little epsom salts to your water?
http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-pro...magnesium.html
Thanks cool!
It shouldn't be vitamin or mineral deficiency. It is in soil that is supposed to have fertilizer added to it already. Also, the other plant grown in the same soil isn't doing this. Unless there is some point I am missing.
I am hesitant to use epsom salts at this time due to information presented in this post:
http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/164861-official-epsom-salts-not-miracle-cure-thread.html
So far this problem has confined its self to the lower 3 fan leaves. I wonder if chlorine could cause effects like this. Maybe I should have let the water sit longer.
The water I used on the other plant sat for 6 days, while the water used on the affected plant only sat for 1 day.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. :thumbsup:
Damn, spoke too soon. Sorry about that. :( That looks like either Nitrogen or Potassium deficiency. What is the ph level of your water and what is the ratio of nutrients listed on the soil? You might be over-watering which can cause nutrient lockout as well. How often you water?
My soil nutrients are 10-8-6. It gets water once a week. The pots have a layer of gravel in the bottom. Good drainage. I don't have a ph testor, but is seems if ph was the problem, both plants would suffer. yes/no?Quote:

Looks like classic burn, chorline or fertilizer. In soiled pots like that, they'd have their own unique Ph issues. Even in my hydro unit with a medium that holds little left over, I see differences in the plants. In my opinion, not knowing Ph is a gamble and a loss of control of your garden.
But I'm a check it twice a day very paranoid about my water kinda guy :)
How often are you flushing? I think I remember reading that in soil you wanna do it every 4 weeks or so, but I dont know the effects it would have on your ferts/soil. Hydroton/Rockwool flush much easier than soil I would imagine, did the ferts/soil have flushing guidelines?
Haven't seen any signs of pests, except the occasional gnat. I think sometimes a gnat will follow me indoors, then makes its way to the grow for a nice place to rest. Bad move for the gnat because that is punishable by death.Quote:

I did not do any other thing to the rocks, like bake them. Perhaps there was something in the rocks that I couldn't see. Something that could have been killed by baking the rocks for 20 minuets at 250 degrees.
Or the second thing, the soil has built in fertilizer that is supposed to last for 9 months of growth. The potting soil bag says that the fertilizer is heat activated. Perhaps the amount of fertilizer being released is to much for this plant at its present age. Maybe it is more sensitive to over fertilizing than the other plant.
With that built in fertilizer, it would seem that nutrient deficiencies wouldn't be a problem. Unless some nutrient was some how being locked out. Then how could the nutrient be locked out, unless by improper ph? But then it would seem the other plant would be affected too.
I have some Miracle-Gro Plant food spikes I was saving for when they go into 12/12 flowering. I was saving them because they are 6-12-6, and I have read that phosphorus is the important one for marijuana flowering.
These spikes also have other micro-nutrients included. If it is a nutrient deficiency affecting this plant, maybe if I added a couple of these spikes that would take care of it. On the other hand, if it is nute-burn, due to the built in fertilizer soil, maybe adding the spikes would only serve to compound the problem.
Got any thoughts on it?
The ph issue is bothering me. I haven't the money to get a test kit. All, and I do mean all, of my money was spent on lights and soil. Now broke again and no idea when I will get more money. Damn it, I hate being poor. I am used to getting what I want, when I want.Quote:

Maybe I should check their web site for info.
I would flush today, right now the burn will only get worse until you do. The soil and Ph will be a problem for you, the soil will hold onto elements and left unchecked, will block your plant from being fed properly from alkaline build up.
I go real cheap on my Ph, I use paper strips and tweezers but I check it religously.
Fortunately, Cannabis is very tough and will adapt with you
In your experience, what is the best flushing method?
