Day 37 flower... and shes really starting to call to me. I wanna smoke some of her so bad. I'mma be a good lil BHB and wait. :stoned:
Hey BHB420, you mean to tell me you grew those fine specimens using only about 90W of cfl for veg and 150Whps for flower?
What was your yield? I bet you already harvested huh?
Great looking, especially for only 10" pots! Nice.
P.S. No harm in a small sample, I call it "quality control" ;)
Yep. This is what im telling you. Ive gotten away with 60w cfl's for veg in a prior grow too :) Ive noticed, its the increase from veg to flower that the plant really responds to most (ive also tried veg w/ the hps and the plant grew faster for veg, bud production seemed lower keeping the same 150 throughout). As far as yeild... I dont weigh but im a damn good eyeballer. I dont weigh cuz lets just say worse possible scenario happens... its all personal "I dont even know what the weight is" and theres no sign of intent to sell :smokin: Id say aprox 2-3oz which solely personal - lasts grow to grow plus a lil. Its usually rather potent... and seems to get more so each grow. 3 oz at a bowl... maybe two a sitting (which is all ya ever really need to be very high indeed) im set :) It works for what I need it for. Cheep -- quality bud for me to smoke and enjoy without the risk of 3rd party involvement or relying on someone :thumbsup:Quote:

Thanks man :) I find the trick --- for me --- is all in the root ball. Get the roots to form a nice ball in the pot, then move a lil bigger to fill that up w/ another root ball in a root ball -- then transplant. Keep smaller pot sizes this way and still maxamize root growth!Quote:

Quick dried buds (envelope in the car in the sun method) burn even and taste sweet. Energetic high. Makes me feel like im in a video game... if that makes any sense :stoned:

The female plant will produce seeds at this point is she has recieved viable pollen from a male plant. The seeds grow within the female bud and can take anywhere between 2 and 16 weeks to grow to full maturity. The female pistils may change color before finally busting the seedpods, sending them to the soil below. Breeders like to collect seeds before the seedpods burst. If, during the the flowering stage, there are no males present to pollinate the female plants, the buds will grow larger and develop more resin glands. Resin may drop down on to teh leaves making the plant very sticky. The pistils on the buds will begin to thicken and cluster into balls. The reason for the high increase in bud growth is that the female plant is trying her best to attract male pollen. This is the Sinsemillia condition.
growing 110
The male plant produces pollen sacks, which, when ripe, burst and scatter pollen to the female plants. The female plant produces white hairs at the internodes and top cola (head) of the plant during flowering. These hairs (pistils) begin to curl and slightly grow longer and thicker. The top cola should carry the most pistils. These pistils are sticky to the touch (don't touch them too much as they also contain the shought-after THC), and become covered in resin during the flowering period. The reason for their stickiness is that the pistils are used by the female to catch falling pollen. If the female isn't pollinated she'll try to grow more sticky areas. Hence the result of a sinsemillia crop... bigger and better buds.
hermaphrodites 171
It is not uncommon for some strains to generate a few hermaphrodites in the final weeks of flowering. This is quite a familiar condition with sinsemillia crops as some plants, in a last ditch effort to continue their line via seed, will generate a few male flowers to try to self pollinate. In most cases the pollen produces is not viable, but as a precaution you can clip them away. Simply check your sinsemillia for small yellow banana shapes in the bud during the final weeks of flowering and clip them away.
plant 7-8
A non-pollinated female (sinsemillia) plant will produce more flowering buds and more quantities of THC than the male plant or seeded female plant. The buds produce resin, which contains THC and can drop down onto the leaves. When fully mature, it should produce a very pleasing high, depeinding on teh grow method, the strain, and time of harvest. It should be the goal of every cannabis cultivator to grow non-pollinated female plants because those also produce the best yeild.
Theres a ton more info. I'm just stoned and had nothing better to do at the moment than retype all that. lol :p
You chopped down your plant??????
ummmm.. I think there may have been a different approach.. hat could have.. ummm
well...
ummm..
you chopped you plant??????
iloveyou
did you make clones....?
THANKS for all the Pictures
KNOWM loves pictures..
don't you ever cut down a plant again!!!!!!
iloveyou
No way garden. I had two plants originally. One did get cut. But my babys still flowering away and no joke getting fatter and fatter every day. Thanks though for the post!! I think growing and taking the pics of my plant(S) are more addictive than the herb itself is.
Im too lazy to go take a pic and all right now, but I assure you SHES STILL GROWING STRONG!
yes GROWING is BETTER than SMOKING..
YEA I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
miracle of life!!!!!!!
what kind of reflective shit is that looks like that stuff they use for the bac of car windows to block like from coming in
This has a neat lil article/explination of what the stuff is... only its a different "brand" than what I used...Quote:

I got mine at lowes our home depot didnt carry it... but heres two links for home depot .com for the stuff.

I definatly like it and its got some sturdy stiffness to it which makes it REALLY nice and very hand to add all over the box for reflectibility. I just used a staple gun and measured the box out... drew w/ marker (w/ extra 1/2 inch to press up into gaps) and took a big ass pair of scissors and cut on line... form fit and press up and use a staple around the edges of the box, than ran a line of staples in the middle top to bottom. Dont forget to mind your staple size... too long and it will punch thru the box too short and it wont hold the material on! And like I said the scraps are very hand, I make a reflector with it :)
You can also use the silver coated pipe tape they sell for like $5 to press into edges to "seal" edges... folds into a " L " shape easily. Presses right up and in place.
I've got an update comming soon w/ pics, my usb cable's shot. Been snappin a few pics meanwhile.
Blah problems w/ uploads. w/e more pics.
its the door flap...
its the bottom lip of the cab to help light proof outter flap and to keep grow debris (dirt leaves etc) in cab area and not on my floor....
Focuses the intensity of the light to the plant(s)!
(pics are older shots i have left from OG posts.)
I guess while i'm posting retro pics... I'll post these to help w/ cabby ideas/probs/etc. This lil light was a 2 in one deal. I remoted the ballast myself w/ a few screws removed, and the addition of an additional wire (120v grounded heavy duty extention cord cable outdoor/weather rated). Just cut and rewire.
Lights also got a removable vent that I guess would be fitted for an aircooled possibility :)
(ps sorry for extra shitty pic quality. was a very cheep cam)
And last but not least --- a bunny... with a pancake... on its head! :p :D :p
i thought thats what it was but somebody told be not t use it because it creates hot spots in my plants
so this stuff is used to reflect light and light proof right
Yes, its opaque (and very reflective hence the name "reflecti-x") - where as mylar allows light to pass (translucent). The reason why your buddy or whoever told you not to use it... it is insulation. Any heat generated stays in the cabinet (which to me is a plus because that keeps the wood from getting hot and what happens when wood gets too hot? so hows that bad?). So, you gotta make sure your ventalation can take care of the heat. I actually sometimes (summer as example - winter I want that warmth) use a plexi glass heat sheild to trap it in the "top" compartment... Also it cut down the "room" the fans cfl's need to expell. :)
I myself love it and will use it in any cab I create. Very easy to clean... and if you nick it... and scar the material... you just take a lil piece of that silver pipe tape I was talking about and cut off a lil "band aid" to patch it.
Good stuff :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
ok i have another think to ask whats the difference between a duct fan and a exhaust dont they both to the same stuff in a way
Awesome work, past and present, BongHitBoy420.
Mm, rabbit...
Thanks thread followers and all who compliment and ask q's! As promised, update time. This catches us up....
pic 1 the entire plant at day 38
pic 2 one of the colas in regular light right before hps powered on at day 40
pics 3, 4, and 5 were a lil sample bud I smoked... still a lower bud, but a nicer lower bud compared to the prune clippings I've tried. She is indeed sweet cindy. Very sweet candylike taste. The high is amazing and STRONG. very energetic and playful... imaginative.
And this is as of 10 mins ago....... day 45 flowering
pic 1 entire plant
pic 2 one of the colas on the left up front
pic 3 the front right cola
pic 4 trichomes galore. entire plant looks like this :thumbsup:
Day 52. Shit happens, and I decided it was in my best interest to harvest now... which I'm fine about it was only 4 or so days early. Enjoy!
I know I am! I've damn near doubled my Cali-O yield and far far more potent. My fingers are sticking to the keys as I type, and I've washed them twice :p
More :) :D ;) :stoned: :smokin: :p :thumbsup:
New babies will be starting soon. Keep tuned. :D
Thats beautiful...
That is the freaking sweetest looking pipe! GJ with the grow :p
I'll get a couple nug pics in a few days. Its beautiful... and glistens white very much so. Also rather dense im supprised (i know the colas were falling over toward the end they were heavy)... Pretty pretty sparkly white all the way down if you cut a nugget in half. By far la creme a la crop (i think thats right) ive grown to date... and just as good if not better than ive EVER bought. Two or three lil 1 hitter nuggets in a bowl so you get that fresh greens taste everytime... 2 or 3 niiice hits im fucking STONEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. I mean stoned. Doesnt last quite as long as I would like however and I find myself outside 2 hrs later smoking another bowl ;)
Your mouth waters and you get a sugary sweet candy-like taste. Sweet Cindy <3 A true pleasure to grow this strain!
It looks like it came out good, that's pretty good for a 150 hps, what was the dry weight of the bud from that plant?
btw where'd you get that lighting at?
props BHB420. Nice grows
so pretty! pretty inspiring grow log, thanks for sharing!
Damn those look nice. Right now I have a 150 hps, but I was thinking of doing a cabinet grow when I move to my next spot. I might just make my own cabinet. I have 2 400w hps lights also. I want sum results like yours of course I need sum good seeds. Till then I will continue to grow bagseed till I can buy sum good seeds from Nirvana.
Starting to run low so you know what time it is. This strain was good. HIGHly reccomend. I've been stoned damn near everyday plus all day on weekends since oh...... round feb. Only need a few hits and your set for couple hrs. Plus its fun to watch the few ppl I do share with on occasion damn near orgasm when I pull it out ;) Definatly keeping seeds around for this strain for future grows.
Givin her a second go -- c99 from femaleseeds.nl
Soaking peate pellets now.
~stay high. BHB
send me a seed i feel the need to create life.. :)
I have many 4 foot floruecent grow-lux tubes. no hps :-/
Pic 1 - setting up germination lights in cab.
Pic 2 - gather supplies. toss two peat pellets in cups. add water.
Pic 3 - choose your seeds. when your pellets look like this, take your pointer tool and poke seeds 1/4-1/2" into peat.
Pic 4 - keep just a little bit of water in the bottom of the cup. add warmth and light.
Wait. Keep moist. check 1-2 times a day. only add water if peat is drying out. dont overwater.
I just had some Cindy 99. Was wonderful. Managed to get a few seeds too. Cant wait to see yours!
Sad news, my stoner self forgot all about the seeds. Been too wrapped up in RL... Found out my grandfather has cancer. Anyway, poped 2 more in tonight.
Its been over a month sinced my last post. Sad new is I had something growing just recently (3+ weeks into veg too... s. african durban poison) but again I had to abort. Safety first and formost. Safety keeps you from getting caught. Not getting caught #1 priority even before smoking. I've been dry for aprox a month, month and a half now (and first time in YEARS)...
On the positive side -- I will be moving soon and this time sitautions are 200% in my favor to start up full power unrestrained. I already have my seeds - Nirvana Big Bud. I chose this strain simply for the fact that is a comercial strain and a heavy yeilder despite a moderate to medium/high potency. I've been very very pleased with my harvests thus far and if this strain lives true to its reputation I am hoping to potentially double my best harvest this time around (but hey we all want the largest harvests possible?!? so smoke a bowl for me to wishful thinking!)
This all will have been for the best I believe. Especially since I will be able to clone in the near future as well, which ideally will keep a plant in bloom at all times....... Its been a rough couple months and many seedlings unfortunatly never got a chance to bud. But, the futures looking bright again. A full 150 watts!
Good luck on yor grows everyone.
-BHB
so when are you movin...cant wait see see the new growsetup at ur new crib!
you have some of the best looking grows i think...wish i had some fatty buds like that!
Ok back by popular demand and fiending those green leaves oh yeah buddy. Its been quite an ordeal and things are finally back on track. New crib new year new possibilities.
So i've been a little busy while I was away. I'll try to catch you up. The cab is running again, think around 12/10 I started taking these. Inside the cabinet I have a lovely Northern Lights plant from femaleseeds.nl Of course, this time bushier I plan on harvesting more donkey dick colas hopefully (first grow pics I have up from OG pics on first post).
But... I had some Cali-O seeds left too... A den w/ the cabinet, a empty closet just beccons use. So, this whole setup like the cabinet itself is ment to be rearrangable. My advise is and always has been grow to your enviroment so i make my enviroment adapt as the plant grows... and it grows in stages. Nothing is tied down permanent, and even the reflect-x is cut large and presses firmly into place. Its almost having a form fitting barrier. Again, I use it for the door but donot cover completely to allow heat to escape.
Right now the closet grow is comming along nice, i left them too long in the 6" pots so they got root bound (busy w/ the holidays). But now they're in 3 gallon buckets. The cabinet grow is nice... however... my intentions w/ the closet are 3-4 footers. Im pricing 150-250w now for the closet (my goal has always been the MOST bang for the least possible light. electricity is expensive.) If i go 150w, the CFLs will hang through the bottom half of the canopy to add more light to lower levels of the plant. If i go 250, its just a straight shot deal. Currently, there are 5 46w CFLs in there shinning 2300 lumens each. Plants are ~1 month old in 3 gallon buckets. I am to flower 2-3 full fledged females so i keep talking myself into the 250 for sheer penetration alone. However, ive seen the tric's cfl's produce and i believe mixing both the cfls and hps will provide astounding results as well. Im tied.
Andway. Running 2 small newaire o3 generators (closet bathroom model) and yes its genuine o3 via carona discharge. I have a larger model comming ups as we speak. Also, ozium is the shit. Industrial grade /medical deoderizor / is the only way to fly.
Yes, im stoned. Trimmings. Lower growth shoot while you have to smoke a couple bowls, still pack a punch. God almighty, its been too long.
This ones to you guys out there reading. :jointsmile:
