My grow log: Heres looking at you kid

Maybe I'll use a little lease then what it calls for, which I belive it 1 teaspoon/gal
Ah yes invision, I tired to talk to u in chat last night but you went off just as I finished my thought.

So now that its reaching back up I should just tie down the next node of the plant and let it continue to grow out and up and then eventually just tie down the next node thats grown out and then it'll grow up again and so forth and so on, is that correct?

I noticed in your other thread you mentioned you tied it down under the canopy. But other wise I think I get the jists of it we're just keeping it short and letting the lower leaves catch up if you and create a denser canopy which should in turn create a better yeild in a smaller space by allowing more light to reach into the canopy and beyond.

Shes a few days into flowering as it is right now the pistils on the 2ndary growth sites are starting to form so I think so far all is going according to plan.

I could give you a little more insight about your nutes if I knew what brand they are.

Why schultz bloom plus- 10-54-10 ;)

Are you sure it says a teaspoon per gallon? Because I have Schultz 10-52-10 and it only says a quarter tsp. for houseplants.

Ya I know thats just what I remembered off the top and it was correct for trees and such. That minute edit time is worthless.
So yeah 1/4 tsp per gal is correct
So I usually just watered a half gallon at a time.

So If I mix the nutes into a full gallon watering with only half won't be a problem letting the other have of the solution sit? Other wise I suppose than an 1/8th if thats 1/2 of a 1/4 would work out too.

Just pour the extra out. It's a bigass container lol! And a little of that stuff goes a long way. Or, go pour it on your regular houseplants. Or on a tree outside. Trees like food.

Pour the extra out huh, I have 1.5 gallons of distilled water right now so I was gonna try and stretch it but whatever. The ground is still too frozen I'm gonna guess even though it was like 40 today here in MN

Okay, let me think. Let's get another opinion on what to do with the extra first okay? I have houseplants, so I just pour the extra on them. So let's ask around some more.:)

Well the soil was still a little damp about 3 inches down this past morning so I figures gonna be the day between when I wake up at 7 am even though its 3... or 7pm when the lights go out so hmm

Well I feed it, a half a gallon is about the max before the pot the plant is in stars to bleed out the bottom, and I'm just gonna assume I can re-use the other 1/2 gallon of nute water next week when I decide to give it some more...

4 more hours til darkness I'm just hoping the plant dosen't grow soo much that it gets burns ;) maybe a little wishful thinking haha


Here are a few pics to show you how things are going and also for a few of my friends who I encourage to check out my progress :thumbsup:

I really like the last one the best :)

Holy shit man! She is looking really dank man...im getting extremly excited to smoke that shit! :rasta:

:)

This plant is almost 2 feet tied down, when people said it'd get a lot bigger during flowering I had no idea... Does this plant look like its stretching too much or what... I dunno I'm just noticing as you can see the flowers are really stretching up... Should I just LST the main stalk down at an angel and at more than just a 90 degree bend to try and kep it evened out?

Wow KL, what a pretty girl! So many flowers!
One of my girls is doing the very same uneven growing thing yours is doing. I finally gave up trying to tame her. I was going to try to keep her small, because I was growing in a closet. But I'm moving her to my new house, where I have lots of room, so I'm just going to let her do her thing.
If you need to keep your girl small, you can tie her down some more. If she's flexible enough, just tie the string on her about the 2nd or 3rd node down, then bend her all the way down and secure the free end of the string. Be careful. You don't want to crack her, or pull her loose. Also, you don't have to secure the free end to her pot. You can tie it to anything that will hold it and is convenient etc.

There are some very small arms coming off of the base of the plant that has a little bud growing.

I don't know so this is what the plant looks like after the accident, and also how the buds look now.

I picked up some more mylar and tomorrow when the lights come back on I'm going to add the top layer and try to seal it up better I tore about my room last night, and today the grow area haha here are the pics!

You can see how the budding area is catching up in that last pic... so there ya have it

A double treat Im still not asleep, the mornings for my glory Its now 7:18 am


[attachment=o122769]

[attachment=o122770]

I might end up just using some CFL's until I get my HPS because I really want me a damn plant lol. I'm gonna try and get some mylar now.

I got smoked up by funky fresh last night.... exhale in hale fuck that shit messes you up damn yo

I came home and was worried my pot wasn't big enough so I turned a garbage can into a pot. Cut about 8 round holes in the bottom of it, and at the bottom of the soil is a patch of aquarium rocks, then perlite, then soil mixed with perlite. I picked up 30 lbs of soil for the purpose of planting.

Some of the bottom of the roots broke off though :( I hope they recover from the shock and the new roots start growing... maybe it'll do them some good to get broken? At least they're still there.... though they looked a little droopy when I put them in their sleep time.

I will take some pictures of the knots that have formed more at the bottom of the plant its awesome!


I watered today with 1/2 gallon of distilled water I PH'd with an Aquarium equalizer today and also added maybe 1/2 of a gallon of the nute water at the end. There is a lot more room in the new container than there was in the other. So Maybe the roots will really be able to take off.


Also thanks to funky, I went out and picked up 2 Y socket adapaters, so now I have my 2 42w and 3 26w bulbs in those, a 30w "soft white" aka 2700K aka FLOWERING bulb. THere is a 42 w and a 30w and 1 13w of just 2700k bulbs on the plant now. 1 42 "cool white" 6500k and 3 26w's

So in total thats about 200 w of CFLS in there with the mylar thats gotta double... I'm hoping to make the last month of this plants life a memorable one ;)



Thats my power setup with a layer of mylar trapping the whole thing


I don't have patience while intoxicated I've realized.

This is the very most top bud that is growing, right before the break.

[attachment=o123064]

This is the 2nd site of budding right down the branch.. it's gotten very big bud thus far :)

Ummm....yea, not so sure that transplanting at this stage was such a good idea...

You were drunk, though, so I suppose you are excused.


I'll be back tomorrow to check up on ya. Lookin' good so far, man.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

I still maintain that the pot would of eventually gotten too small but ya.... I dunno hit it me up in the morning. Maybe it'll take a few days and it'll pick up again... technically it has the best its ever had before......

looking good think youve got a long flowering strain there though, whose the girls in the pics behind the plant at the top of this page?

So by this you did mean transfering while it was in flowering right? Why? Something along the lines of stress like I slowed down the growth for a little while?

Why do you think that? Just the way they look because I'm going to agree with you. Friends of mine...

So update. So I was wondering what do you think the mix of my plant is now? It has the skinnier leaves and such but I read threw http://boards.cannabis.com/attachmen...low.flower.jpg
I and while I know its not some bomb strain like his, just the way they look is the same. If you look farther down his thread his plant is a bush outside but they have similar traits even with the appearance of flowering. Sorry ! Enough of my rambling

Watered with a small amount of nutes yesterday too

Well since no one seems very talkative I'll just have to post a bunch of pics :)

[attachment=o123538]
Lights on

[attachment=o123539]
Lights off. I'd like to point out I use that blue oscillating fan at night and bend it downwards hoping to make sure they soil breathe along with the general air flow idea....

[attachment=o123540]

The buds are starting to get a lot bigger

[attachment=o123541]
The buds at the top again

[attachment=o123542]

This particular bud picture came from one of the very lowest branches that wasn't getting very much light. I ended up gathering about 4 of the lower branches and LST'D them together and moved two lights down to cover just that area I'm hoping to pump in some extra energy in the areas that aren't receiving much light every time a water eventually I figure I will move another light the other side and balance things out. You can see the bottom branches I"m referring to in the lights off picture if you click the picture and zoom in on it, looking sorta fuzzy in the pic :)

So there is one much smaller side branch at the very bottom of the plant I doubt getting much light... would that be a good candidate to try and re-veg I'd like to preserve a piece of this plant if can be I haven't been successful with the seeds I've gotten recently either :(

I've been using 1 teaspoon/gallon (4x 1/4tsp) with mine for many flowerings, that shultz won't burn; works like a charm.

So i have personally seen KL's plant and let me tell you for a first timer he's doing pretty damn good. I might have to award him with the most crazed setup possible though, but whatever its working! Just can't wait to try it!:rasta:

LMAO whats wrong with my setup!

I gave the plant a good watering today... I was told maybe nute lock out? If not the plant still looks like it's loosing those leaves on purpose... we'll have to see how it looks in a day or two huh.
The buds smell soo amazing right now, the room itself doesn't smell but the buds make me want to take but I know better they are far too small at this point.

These two buds are from the bottom I think they are more interesting to look at with their odd hues.

You can see the individual budding areas.

lookin very nice man =] GOOD JOB

man that is looking nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to try her out man ahhhh!!!!!!!!!:rasta:

any new pics, like to see how big those buds are getting!!!

Hey KL! I know you were feeling neglected cause nobody was posting. See what happens when I leave?!
I have pistil envy.

See I'm wondering if part of my little problem is just the leaves getting eaten naturaly. I used distilled water ph'd down 2 7 for watering, but then in the chat they said that then some metals might be out of the soil and throwing things out of whack. I don't have a soil meter, do you think walmart has one? The unbanned MS.Green you should hit me up about that. Maybe I should go invest in a water pump as well there was a 10$ and a 20$ one one was like a stone or something.... I'll have to scavange some more details... raquetball at 9:30 it already 2:12. I woke up this morning an puked twice about 12 both times leaving class... then I couldn't not go to my spanish class so I had to wait til 3 blah! It was also a rainy day... hmmm weird

update pls!

Ew. Hope you don't have the flu. I'll try to find you later today.

Now ever since I can remember I've been poppin my collar!


The pink hues are gone in the younger buds at the bottom, they've shifted to orange and eventually brown.

I still don't know whats wrong with my plant or if it just eating its leaves for nutes naturally ect ect

It'll have been 4 days since I watered left... I'll check in the morning but I think its about time for that soil to get wet.

I just don't know what to feed it.

I've got a gallon of tap water thats been sitting these past 4 days.
A gallon of spring water
and a gallon of distilled water.

I'm really tempted to feed it nutes just to see what happens but I don't wanna kill it so maybe I'll be able to resist...

[attachment=o124963]
Last time this one was pink
[attachment=o124964]
A younger bud towards the bottom

[attachment=o124965]
A bad more towards the top
[attachment=o124966]
I still love that knot
[attachment=o124967]
Easiest way to see the buds when u zoom in
The lights are closer than they appear in the picture as well, I have 2 free goose neck lamps concentrating on the top bud also... I dunno what else to say!

what flowering day are you in now pal?

l8r :cool:

27th day of flowering as of today, the 19th. This means I began on the 19th of Feb.

The leaves still look to be in bad shape... if it is infact PH problems. I watered with a combination of Spring and Tap water from my house which balanced out to a nice PH. I hope they don't get too bad on me cause other wise it'd effect my harvest :(

The lights on the main buds are about 1/4 of an inch a way, the fan is directly in front of it so it works out very nice. I tied some of the lower branches up with string to other branches in hopes that they'll get a better result from the closer proximity to the light. Since a lot of fan leaves are falling off and the smaller ones on the branches there is more light being distributed through the canopy. The buds with the lights even closer have honestly begun to get much denser. The leaves are fatter than the ones at the bottom not as wispy if you will. So I'm a stronger believer now!

I dunno what else to say...

My bad guy, I just now saw this. I got my soil probe at Lowe's. You can also get pH test kits anywhere that has aquarium supplies.

i have one question....

Are those plants from african seeds? ;) good luck
