Pics of day 57! :thumbsup:
if i can remember (sorry just took my 420 hit :P) but neways, I believe you said this was your first grow.....I'd say its a pretty damn good first grow. WOW!!
pissa!
You ever gonna harvest that stuff? or just let it keep growin?
Did the boss ever get his mites under control?
I thought it would be done a few days ago. However the trichs are still not all cloudy, Nor do I have much amber. So, on it goes. :thumbsup:Quote:

Aaand,..
Yes, on the mites. Both sides are clear. I'm quite sure I was bringing home new visitors too. I got rid of them three times(on my vegging clones), just to get them again a week later or so. Where as now, they seem to be at bay. I was also lucky to avoid re-infesting the flower room after the third-ish week).
Yes cKarrson it is my first grow. I'm a pretty technical person and tend to investigate everything thoroughly before moving forward. This site is the bomb for that purpose. Plus my history with reef aquariums and testing for those micro-nutrients, minerals, PH..etc. Made this less daunting. The lighting tech isn't much different either.
You could go so far as to say,.. I just followed the directions, and asked questions when issues arose.:D I also never really pushed the flowering nutes to hard this round. I burnt them in Veg, but never in flower. Thus I wonder if I under nuted through the budding cycle. I may push that harder in the next round. :thumbsup:
Thanks for the kind words too! I'll surely update once it's cut!
nice for your first grow.:thumbsup:
Guess this site doesn't do PM's :wtf:
Vance, you figure out who I am yet?:D
Yea no PMs kinda sux:mad:
However if you are who I'm pretty sure you are. You fly various RC things, and drive a brown truck. :D
Am I right?
YEP!:thumbsup:
I was hoping the boss got the mites under control since i've started my first grow,... I don't want to bring anything home if I can avoid it!
:):wtf:
:cool:
Then stay in the truck and out of the back room!
I think the LST will be ready first. They look like fall has definitely hit them!
The natural almost has a christmas tree effect going on. Really nice job!
LOL!Quote:

Vances keyboard is also smokin.
He tried watering it, and it didnt help.
He will be back on again soon. Hard
to keep him quiet and out of the chat rhelm
for long!:smokin:
Weeding,... try surfing around this site some,... you'd be amazed what you find! ;)
Where's your log anyway!?:weedpoke:
And with the work Vance does for a living I would have thought he already knew that water and electronics don't mix well!:rolleyes::S5:
So I spilled a glass of water on my keyboard Sunday evening, just before taking the above pics. :mad:
Thus, the last couple days I only had the right side of my split keyboard. I borrowed one from work, but it's a regular, not a split. Now my T and Y are to close to each other, as are the G and H, and B and N.:D
Anyway, the pics are at 63 days of flower. The LST has finally got some amber(still a few clear). The natural plant is ALL cloudy :thumbsup:, and out of 1000+ trichomes I found three nicely amber colored. (this is at 65 days).
Going to cut VERY soon. Still not sure exactly how much longer though.
I plan to slow dry in my flower room. Once these two are done, and cut. I'll hang them in the room. Then in 6-7 days I'll start flowering the clones.:thumbsup:
I also built the bubble cloner found in the Hydro forum.:thumbsup: I used a single large flip flop sandal to make all 18 plugs.
Vance, you know what thread you found that cloner in? I gotta get one built.
I browsed over the Hydroponics,... didn't see it off hand.
Yep, I have the thread saved. :thumbsup:

Thanks!:thumbsup:
Good job vance keep up the good work....:thumbsup:
Well we are at 71 days of flower and STILL not done, but very close.
I see a lot of cloudy/milky trichomes. However any amber is hard to find. I can find one if I look hard enough, but obviously not done yet.
Both plants have been dropping fan leaves like mad. They turn yellow, then dry from the tip back. Once almost all of the leaf is dry and crusty. It finally lets it go.
Yesterday while checking trichs, I found a mite while looking through the microscope. Like seeing a giant monster.:mad:
So yesterday I used white trash bags and some tape to basically bag the entire LST. I put a hole in the bottom near the pot and one at the top like a chimney. Then placed the hotshots strip and temp/humidity sensor inside. I misted a little with my spray bottle to keep humidity up around 60% and temps in the bag stayed around 74F.
This morning I discovered it's only two branches (and their side branches) that have mites on them. So today I did the same as yesterday, but only to those branches.
I pulled a leaf from one of these two as well. I found 3 dead, and one barely alive(I poked it with tiny tweezers to see:D) NONE are adults, just white juvies. So I figure I AGAIN, brought them home from work, or had a hatch. Either way it's horrific timing.
At least it's only the section of the plant, and not on the other one at all. However I plan to buy two more pest strips tonight, and hang all three until finished.
I also cooled the room during a storm last week. Took it down to about 66F. The next day the LST is mostly Purple! :thumbsup:
I'll get some pics up tonight.
Howdy all,
Today is day 77 of 12/12. Although I found my first cloudy trichomes, weeks ago. Plus I've found the occasional amber. It continues to develop none the less.
As you can see in the one pic, I still see random bursts of growth too.:wtf: However that is only on the natural plant. The LST seems to have stopped.
I was pretty sure this was a 50/50 Indica/Sativa. However that is proving incorrect. If these make it to NEXT Sunday they have flowered 12 weeks. I'd have to assume they are pure Sativa in that case.
These pics are all the LST. I'll post the "Natural" in a second post.
the natural
Also any advise based on what I've said and the pics would be great! :thumbsup:
Being my first grow. I'm quite bothered by the time it's taking. I'm curious as to IF it's possible I stunted flowering (not sure this is possible). Or if you can see something showing a rough time frame to maturity. I know people always ask when they are ready, and that it's hard to tell from a post OR a pic. I'm just stunned and confused as to why it's taking SO long.:D
Thanks for any comments.
After starting a thread asking if I should harvest. I dried a bud in the oven and looked at trichomes from some trim. It had quite a lot of amber.
The natural is a little behind it, so we might cut it tomorrow.
So, as you can see. :thumbsup:
Well the harvest was a little early for my taste. The trichs are almost all cloudy, with just about 1-4% amber. After a full bowl, you have some perceptual high. As in, things look more interesting. However there is NO relaxing effect AT ALL!! You might even feel jittery.:mad:
Luckily for me half the Natural plant is still growing.
ALSO the LST budds are WAY light and airy. Nothing is solid feeling or looking. Very loose.:wtf:
Where as the natural plants buds are tight and dence.
I added a pic of the now "jarred for curing".
How much did your girls yield?
I didn't have money to buy a scale. :(Quote:

If my guesses are correct??,... The LST produced about 9 ounces. The Natural has about 6 ounces so far.
I'll buy a scale this week and give a better idea once the natural is all cut and dried. :thumbsup:
comments from another thread on this grow. sounded like I should copy them here for future reference. and added info on the grow.
http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...ng-effect.html
I just checked trichomes on the remaining part of the natural plant. I'm seeing about 10%, most rusty are on the bottom of the leaf too.
As for fast drying, I dried them in half my flower room. I kept the room at an average humidity of 48%. It hit 55% a couple times as well as dropped to around 42% a few times. (inaccurate humidifier)
As my first crop, I'm doing all I remember reading, as close to "by the book" as I can. When it comes to drying and curing. Slow dry (as slow as I could, but still only took 4-5 days). Once stems would snap I jarred it up. I've watched for ANY condensation, however have seen none. The buds felt a little to dry(I thought) when jarred. Now IF I open a jar it's all slightly pliable again. The smell is also changing slightly each day.
I DID try the freezing last night. I put one single 1/4g bud in for around three hours. It seamed a bit harder when first removed, but came back the same after thawing. Flavor MAY have improved mildly.
ALSO,... I DO have a couple of nanners on the remaining plant half. I actually found a couple before I cut any the first time. However this has been a VERY unstable strain the entire grow. The LST was putting out nanners the entire last four weeks! I must have been picking 30-50 of them a day! I also had a few seeds where I broke a nanner and pollinated the flower, or flowers around the nanner.
The nanners alone added a good 5 hours to jarring as well. We tried to pick them all out, but I can still see a few in the jars.
If anything I can say I got a LOT of experience out of this first grow.
