2 amateurs armed with bag seed and a closet

Hi all,

Yesterday the fat man got me really stoned on some juicy fruit and I went to sleep around 9pm! :bong: Ha ha, kind of sad. I was too burnt to post anything so here is yesterday's news mixed with this morning's. :)

Today is the last day in the 4th week of flower, day 55/28. Tomorrow they'll be 8 weeks old. Well Betty's a few days older than that that's why she's ahead for now. She's got some competition now though!

Betty's the biggest plant at 24"' but she's still pretty unhappy. Mid-upper fan leaves keep yellowing, stems are still red (not fading, it was all in my head) and now some of her little leaves near the top are curling. She got a little water with some bloom nutes, karma, thrive alive, and molasses yesterday so we'll see if she reacts to that at all. So far today I don't really see a change. :( Poor girl. Anyone have any ideas of what's wrong with her? She's still hovering around 24", not growing taller at all. Her buds are growing, but she's definitely slowed down.

The other 2 look great, except for the fact Lucy has gone hermie on us. She's still stretching like mad, over 23" now and almost caught up to Betty in height. She's pretty sparse compared to Betty & Mercedes. No more male flowers visible yet though. :thumbsup:

Mercedes is the trained plant w/ over 3 tops. She's doing the best of the 3 right now. Not really growing up much but she is becoming pretty bushy and if we can't help Betty soon Mercedes might be our biggest yielder! Just have to wait...

I put one of the clones down today. It wasn't taking root and the stem was just turning brown and rotting so out it went. It must've been pretty waterlogged because the others are at least growing roots, even if they don't look that awesome up top. In this pic from yesterday you can see it in the back right corner, you can sort of see the stem's brown colour.

Every morning at 7am when the lights come on I get up, open the cabinet doors and prop the fan in front of it to keep the temp reasonable. Have I mentioned that I can't wait for that cool tube to arrive?! :D

PICS! :) First are the clones, then 2 of all 3 girls, and 2 of Mercedes. More in the next post... Oh and I've resized them so they're a little smaller now. If anyone wants the huge pics I can post those but my camera sucks and they don't look good anyway.

More later, including some pics I'll take today.

-canuck :jointsmile:

More pics, ok here is one of Betty. See those curling leaves she has? Because of the light it's hard to see the yellowing in other pics of her but that curling can't be good. Too dry and/or hot? I have no idea. I'm trying to keep the humidity high but it's usually around 15-25% so I know that's not optimal. Temps should be ok though, they're 25-28 C (77-83 F) in the day so that should be perfect. At night they don't go below 21 or 22 C. Any ideas?! :confused:

Anyway the next 2 are Lucy and Mercedes, respectively, and finally one of the whole setup. The fan up on my bed like that blowing right on the light keeps the temp around 25 C but most of the time it's on the floor and the temp is 26-27 C. The other 2 girls look ok so maybe temp/humidity has nothing to do with it at all.

they look great...:)

Thanks abbatoir. :)

Hey everyone,

I have pics from Jan-11 till today. Betty looked really bad and she was a hermie, so she got chopped and is going to make some nice oil sometime. :( The branches with male flowers were the ones we cloned during flower... hmm, guess what they say is true! Wish I read that before we did it, but I often learn the hard way.

The other 2 girls look great. I haven't spotted any more male flowers on Lucy so maybe I'm not looking hard enough. Nah I think she's alright for the most part. She's about 24 1/2" now.

Just waiting... my cool tube is in the mail, it'll be here by Wednesday but I'm hoping it'll be here before then. :D

The clones are doing alright. Some of them don't seem to be rooting but a couple of the smaller ones are kicking ass! I think I might give them some B-1 soon. In a few days to a week I'll probably plant them in some soil.

Pics! Thursday, Jan 11.

First are the 3 girls, Betty hating me at that point for not knowing what was wrong. Then a couple of Betty close up. One of lucy from the side, and one of Mercedes from the top. Lots more following! :jointsmile:

1&2) Mercedes and then sad Betty again.

3) Fri Jan 12, day 56/29: Betty getting flushed but her soil's too compact and it's sloooow. :( The top where it's less compact was like soup and she was leaning everywhere.

4&5) Sat Jan 13, day 57/30: Betty doesn't look any better... and she was a hermie, so I chopped her down.

1) Betty upside down
2) Betty's poor little buds. I wouldn't say more than 1g dry.
3) Leaves & stalks.
4) Most of Betty.
5) 2 male flowers.

Still more!

1) Trim, ground up so it'd dry faster
2&3) Some good bud to mourn Betty with :jointsmile:
4) A jar of iso & Betty... I ran out of iso! I need to get some more and when the rest of her is dry I'll add it in. I might try and save this in my freezer till later because it's not going to yield much at all from just Betty.

more pics from today next...

1,2,3) Both girls. Mercedes on the left, Lucy on the right. Mercedes is over 17" tall, Lucy is over 24".

4&5) Lucy.

Not a lot to say right now. Starting to see trichomes on some bud sites. :D Looks like they might be a little frosty. I have to get a better camera, but that probably won't happen because I spent all my cash on this already! :jointsmile:

1,2) Lucy

3-5) Mercedes, she's looking really nice. Dense nodes, very green, starting to smell really pungent and nice! I need that cool tube so I can close the cab before it gets danker. :D
