first grow...first journal and updated pics. thanks for all the help so far

yeah thanks buster... I just got my grapfruit feminised seeds in the mail today... My next batch... can't wait... Maybe I will try some crossing of these two as an experiment with some of the pollen I have in the freezer I got from my males before pulling them... I am indeed a scientist at heart. Always have been. LOL

I just gotta say those are looking very nice, I'm growing with a similar setup except I gotta say yours is way better!!! You must be one wiring mofo!!!! I can barely get batteries into my remote right most of the time... so I've only got one CFL and a 48" fluro hood and two 24" fluro tubes I supplement w/. I'm just hoping it's enough. Anyway just wanted to drop in my 2 cents and say nice grow m8!!

thanks guys they are getting big but having some yellowing.. I posted some pics and questions about it in plant problems... Buster... check it out if you get a chance!

alright ya'll it has been awhile since I have posted an update with photos. I have just completed week one of flowering. Look at these bitches grow..... How much do you think one could get off two plants like these???? Just an estimate??

i restate to nice grow

Thanks.... Anyone have an estimate on yield with these two? I know you can't say for sure but.....just a guess
They are almost 3 feet tall and just began flowering one week ago

Buster? where are ya m8?

anybody have a guess

ok guys these girls are over four feet tall and in week three of flowering with a new 400w HPS. Here are a few pics of them..... YUMMY

I also have one plant that is a bit more yellow than the other... at what point during flowering should you start to notice a bit more yellowing? I am using fox farm tiger bloom nutes on both just in case you were wondering... Thanks

anyone?

your plants looking good

thanks crisis

those are some sweet looking plants mate, but in some of the photos you posted earlier a few of them where male, (the ones with leaves that look like little hands) and was jw if you pulled them or not, if your plants are yellowing gradually rather than quickly and in patches it might just need a little more light, try lengthening its day a little or bringing the light closer, alot of the time its not a neutrient problem that yellows the leaves, but thats always the first thing people expect it to be....

Yeah I had five plants in all two male, two female, and one my dog topped very early one that I have found sice flowering is another female and it is about 1.5 feet tall but very very bushy with buds. I also have one clone I put in there to flower and it's doing real real well. The one plant that seems to have a hint of yellow to it has been my "trouble plant" the entire time which I have nick named "i've been sick". It is wierd. I think the strain is different than all the others. I got the seeds from a friend who is a medical marijuana grower. It is yellowing slowly but when I turn off the hps, it isn't as bad as I thought but still noticeable to me. I figure it is normal for that strain during this stage of flowering.. I give them all the same nutes, same medium, same light etc.... I began week four of flowering yesterday and have some updated pics here for you. How do they look as this is my first grow, and I have nothing to compare it to... Thanks for stopping in and thanks for the comments and questions.... plants are about 4.25 feet now maybe taller...

anyone have a guess on yield for these two girls?

cheers all :)

Hey Buster.... good to have you back!!! I was wondering where you ran off to... And thanks for the compliments!

well guys all but one of these hermied on me late. WTF??? there are only a few spots with balls and nothing opened yet so I just cut em all off. I am sure I will not be able to get them all.
1. will one ball opening ruin a crop?
2. what could make them hermie 4 weeks into flowering?
Also, the balls are only on the lower parts of the plant. all of the buds up top are still flourishing...

one ball can do a lot of damage if there is fans in the room
just do ya best at cutting these little suckers off and you should get some decent bud from them in the end
that is a damn shame elway m8 i cant beleive it
well i guesss you can say SHIT HAPPENS hey
cheers all :)

yeah it has only affected the lower portions of the plant and lower portions of the branches, so I just cut the little growths to half way up the colas... I found quite a bit of em hatching. One kinda opened and the pollen fell ito my hand while I was ripping it off. I think I got all of em for now, but will keep a search out every few days. The tops are bushing like crazy though....

another couple of updated bud pics...

Ok guys, Here it is..... Just began week 5 of flowering and I just took a couple pics of the huge girls.... Just to drool over, and thanks so much for all of your help. I couldn't have done this without you.

Ok guys I just began week six of flowering yesterday and I took a few pics of my girls. The big ones and the little ones and I thought I would post an update with those pics..... Lemme know what you think..
Also will plants that are smaller finish flowering earlier? I have a couple 5 footers and a couple 1 footers and the small ones seem further along, but went into flowering at the same time.... Thanks

anyone ???

So how those plants coming along?

Elway what are the heights of your plants? :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

well, I harvested the small 1.25 footer today!!! yippee and the height of my other plants are a bit over 5 feet... those won't be ready to harvest for a few more weeks!....
