Well, I chickened out. Murdered the males I was going to get pollen from. Got a little paranoid (too much White Russian, maybe?) and decided the potential benefits were outweighed by the risk of inadvertent pollination, which I cannot afford right now. Without some method of sequestration it was just too risky, especially since I don't yet know about the quality of the genetics since none have finished. I still have 14 more of the seeds though. I guess I got a little ahead of myself. Oh well. At least no more bad dreams about pollen wafting into my flowering room.:cool:
Yum I love the white russian! I had to kill all my White Rhino's that were male and I kept on thinking about trying to grow them out for pollen but I couldn't find room to do it. At least you have more seeds to try.
good call senor. i just ran into that exact problem.

Well this only gives you time for a good plan of action IMO:thumbsup:. And with more beans you have an opportunity to choose the best of our crop to use for breeding.Quote:

So, thats just what iv read, i never heard the issues as to their differences. To me we all have the common interest here so i believe leadership must be the problem. To many peckers in one porn IMO:wtf:

I decided to do a quick trim while the plants are still in pots in the flower room. I took all the leaves the stems of which I could reach with my pruning scissors, and I'm now going to give them 24 hours of darkness, although I'll have to run in quick tonight to pull out those two indicas I have in flower and put them in my veg room for their 12 hours of light. Then tomorrow am I will pull them all out, replace the indicas, seal it up, finish trimming, and hang it all up to dry. I hung clothesline in my drying room today. Drying will take 4-7 days, then curing another 10-14 (probably, never done it before). It's a little quicker here than elsewhere with the semi-arid climate and all. Mold is not as much of a concern either, thankfully. I'll post some pictures of the naked plants (pot porn?) sometime. Have a good day, LSY!Quote:

I know il wait longer to put it in jars, because i was keeping them open 4 times a day, but ended up in the hospital and got some mold. I should have flushed it 2x as much as i did. But after looking at them one day, i found 2 of them just laying on the ground. Im not sure if the wind got them, as we had a bad storm, or deer/rabbits. So i took everything, to prevent something eating them all up. I would have been really mad, if that had happen. One was only about 14'', but was budded from the bottom all they way up the stem. After what ever knocked it over, it ate the buds from the bottom to the middle of the plant, i was pissed, cuz it was small but mighty. I then hoped what ever ate it was all paranoid and running around amuck:DQuote:

When sufficiently dry, I have some tupperware-type containers to put the buds in which can be "burped" to control the drying rate. The mental image of the paranoid, too-high wildlife had me roflmao. Thanks.Quote:

Before and after. The initial trim took about 3 hours yesterday, then about 4 hours to hanging. (The ones on the right show what they looked like before the initial trim, as I couldn't get to all of them). I'm really too old for this shit, but I guess I shouldn't complain. Better a sore back than living in Haiti. Funny how the minute one starts feeling sorry for oneself, something comes along to remind of how good we have it. I'll post some pics of some buds when dry in a couple of days.:dance:
Great looking harvest! Congrats!
Understood. But it looks like you were also cultivating plants you'd like to keep unpollinated; my point being there is going to be some risk of contamination involved and were you really sure you wanted to take that risk.Quote:

I'm still a little puzzled about your wr being as branchy as they were. Who's were they if you don't mind my asking?
Wow senor your pics look awesome my man:thumbsup: There was a middle point which you didn't post to many pics, so i sorta lost track of how they were doing. But all i can say is great grow, as those buds are huge.Quote:

No one could ever tell that it was your first grow, not a chance. I opened the links to get a closer look and wow senor you couldn't have got a better grow. You really did your homework no bout. If i were you id be really proud, cuz i know you gave them plenty of TLC:thumbsup: Plus you had plenty of know how, as you can really tell:hippy:
Il be glued in for your next endeavor for sure my friend. It will inspire lots of people for sure:jointsmile:
:rasta:
Thanks again for the kind words, LSY. Since I don't know yet what my yield will be, whether it would be reasonable to have higher expectations next time or not remains unknown. Starting with larger containers (now 3 gal. instead of 7 liters before) I hope will avoid the mid-flower stress these babies went through. I think adding the CalMag to my feeding regimen from the beginning will also help. I haven't even smoked any yet, so don't even know about quality although all signs are positive.Quote:

I invested much $ and space in my house to this pursuit that others don't have available to them, so I had some advantages too. I've decided that there are two keys for me; lots of light ( with 4000 watts of light, I should get some results,right)?, and checking my plants A LOT. Not a day went by that I didn't check them closely at least twice. Bad things can happen very fast, and if you don't notice something for 3-4 days it can be too late. Just like when yours went a-visitin', right? Anyway, I still have lots to learn, but it's still fun too, so that makes it easier. Thanx again.
Well you put in the learning part and do have a very nice set-up, so it shouldn't be a surprise at your harvest. I seen a lot of people that uses the Cal Mag and never heard problem with it, but iv never seen it, nor do i know exactly what it does/helps. I really think the bigger pots of course will help too. Thats just more room. Iv read that the above growth to the roots, works out to be 50/50, above the soil and below it. Im really not sure about this, but it makes sense to me. With a bigger root foundation, it would seem the bigger the plant would grow. Also, you can use the pics to compare this grow with the next to get an idea as to growth speed. Just a thought.Quote:

So i would think of anything i could do with my plants, because it was so much fun. After growing bonsai for 15 years, which is very slow growing, i fell in luv growing weed. It develops so fast, each day you can see a difference. Thats why i started an indoor before i had the basic equipment to do so.
I will have pics soon. I see buds starting to get bigger everyday, but i have at least a month if not more to go. But thats ok, as the problem iv had, if i could get like a half oz, it would be a good grow for me. Next year il be prepared and il be able to veg my outdoor plants to at least a foot before planting them. The Edna im growing is doing very well and more sites then the skunk/haze ones. Plus i have some seeds that iv not tried yet, which were made to grow fast. Here are the genetics, Nirvana Special x Top44)x WW) x ((Thai Haze x Skunk#1) x Lr2), this will be some good stuff im thinking. With the WW and Lr2 and other strains i cant wait till spring as im sure you cant wait to get your clones vegged and ready to go.
Catcha later my friend:rasta:
Supposedly Greenhouse, but you know how that goes. I received clones from a friend, and he started with clones too, so who really knows. The bud pictures from Day 47 or whatever posted earlier in this thread look EXACTLY like the bud pictures of GH's White Rhino in Rosenthal's Big Book of Buds Vol. 3., so maybe it is really what I was told. Also keep in mind that I didn't really prune at all except to remove dead/dying leaves.Quote:

I live with an undesirable person too, but luckily my wife doesn't frequent this site. (Thanks to Henny Youngman). From watching your grow, I think your plants just need more light. I know you're not in a position to give more, but I think that's the only reason they've been so slow. We do the best we can with what we got. All we really do is keep the plants healthy, and yours look healthy. I hope you get a good return. If we figured out who got more quantity/dollar, you might be surprised who came out on top.Quote:

So after i get these bills im behind on, i might be able to get one more clamp light, which then would be enough to get me through. Of the two clamp lights, i bought a large one, which will not fit the y splitters and the hood cant be taken off, like the smaller one. The small one fits 4 bulbs, but the big one only 2 light bulbs. So $7.99 for the light and $5.00, if i get a different k rating for bulbs would be enough i think. I have enough bulbs to fit the bigger light, but they just will not fit the splitters. You can tell in some pics at the light difference there is in the two. Who knew, i thought the bigger would fit the splitters better, but i was wrong. But i have a $300.00 vet bill and grooming i need to take care of, as my dog means more to me then the grow. He's a great dog!:rasta:Quote:

Other than a week or two of curing, all is finished. I ended up with 541 grams, or 33.8 grams per plant. I'm somewhere between satisfied and happy I suppose. Thank you all for following along, and I hope your day is a good one.
looks great man, i hope mines turns out like that
great job
Sounds great Senorx, im glad your happy with the end result:hippy: I know you put the work in gaining the knowledge and the hard work that came with the hobby:thumbsup: Looks mighty fine too:clap:Quote:

Nice Senor! Those look like some kill buds! Are you satisfied with the smoke? I guess it's still curing maybe :)Quote:

Peace,LP
They vegged for about 7 weeks and were 18-24 inches tall going into flower. Everyone who has smoked it has said it was as good as or better than any other indica dominant they have smoked. It is very powerful but comes on mellow, and takes 10-15 minutes to really hit you. The taste is wonderful, especially vaped. My flower room has 4 600w HPS and 2 400w MH. I start them in flower half under the MH for the last growth, then ended with 4 plants under each 600w HPS.Quote:

Nice! Wow, that's a nice setup! I need to reduce my estimate... don't think I'll come close to your yield! Er... wait was that off of just 4 plants?! Or was that like 12-16?Quote:

Great info in the drug testing forum here! Do you know what kind of test you'll have? Check out Quick Fix!! It's worked for me 3-4 times. It's a bit nerve-racking to use at first, but pretty foolproof.
16 plants, so about 33 grams per. I only know that it's a urine test, not hair or saliva. The pre-employment test will be 21 days after last usage, and I never smoked all that much anyway (like 4-5 hits/day 5days/week MAX, and usually less), so I'm probably ok. I'll probably do some dilution with vitamin/creatine supplementation just to be sure on the day of the test. As for the random screenings, I'll just quit smoking.Quote:

I'd probably be more effective at work if I did 5-6 hits in the parking lot just before going in than the day after drinking 10 ozs of hard liquor. Not my call though, I just have to feed my family.
hell yeah thats some dank bud. good luck on harvest
