So i decided today when i woke up that i needed to take my plant down, I found a whole bunch of male flowers on her completely out of the blue. I just hope i can still smoke my plant.. but i think i may not be able too.
After i got done triming it all up i weighed the big kola out of curiousiity, i know its still wet, but whatever. I weighed 33g, i thought that was pretty cool. Itd be a shame to see that 33 gram kola go to waste and be unsmokable
Anyways here some pics from this morning
So i decided today when i woke up that i needed to take my plant down, I found a whole bunch of male flowers on her completely out of the blue. I just hope i can still smoke my plant.. but i think i may not be able too, since she was only 37 days into bloom and all of her male traits..
After i got done triming it all up i weighed the big kola out of curiousiity, i know its still wet, but whatever. I weighed 33g, i thought that was pretty cool. Itd be a shame to see that 33 gram kola go to waste and be unsmokable... can only imagine what they would have looked like in 3 more weeks:(

Real nice. So much better. Just think how good your 3rd grow will be. Those are some nice fat colas. Sorry about the hermie, but depending on the variety you can still get nice and high from it. Just watch out for popping seeds in the bowl. At least you could make hash from it, but that takes a bunch of time.
Still can't rep ya.
Opie, they are still so premature tho, do u think they will be smokeable 3 and a half weeks befor schedule??
Also this is sort of a strange Q, but my weed that was freshly cut smells kinda funny, not like weed that is for sure. It sort of smells like flowers, u know like yard flowers.. has anyone had this experience or heard of neone having this happen?? Maybee its still just wet i dunno
Also i was wondering if nebody has any suggestions on how llong to cure for, b4 i touch it... if it is smokeable that is
Ok..Quote:

Each weed has it's own special scent. Flowers is fine. Sounds even much better than some other smells from weed.
Dry until the stems crack when bent (4-7 days). Cure for 6 months or more. The more the better if all the moisture is out. Or don't cure at all. It will probably just not be as smooth and tasty, but it will get you high.
holy hell! what kind of light did U flower her under. just worndering.
I would say U did a great job.
Yea, I am currently cureing the pre-mature hermy bud, I have smoked it a couple of times. It has a weird taste and a very weak and strang high.. so far. I think I am going to use this stuff to mix with, when i have some good chronic.Quote:

Ill start regularly posting again when my new grow is started most likely around the beggining of February. So dont go away now.
OK, I'll be here. Waiting to hear about the update and see the harvest pics.
Cut down the second plant, this was was straight female, not shemale. It looked like some of the calyxs on the top of one of the colas were starting to get brown and crispi so, i figured it was time to cut her down. She was a very stressed plant because of constant Ph abuse, so im not expecting too much from her, but she does got THC so hopefully she at least smokes.
Heres a couple pics of my buds in my homeade dryer and a couple pics through my 8x loupe.:jointsmile:
Sorry i forgot the pics lol. here u go, the loupe pics look different b/c they were under diff light:thumbsup:

Did you look at trichomes too? You know going by hairs alone is not a reliable method of determining when to harvest. I couldn't really tell if they were cloudy or what from the photos.Quote:

I know, the reason i cut her down was b/c the top of the kola looked like it was dying and i thought it was going to spread down... so i made an executive decision and, cut.Quote:

Remember this product has not been cured at all so the smoke report may not be the best , i am simply hoping to geta buzz from my dead lil girl.:thumbsup:
Good luck Cwesto....and nice work :thumbsup:
Thanks Zeb,
Well the test smoke went pretty good, we smoked 3 bowls then a joint. The weed tasted kinda funky, but it got us high. The high wasnt particularly great or nething, but it was ok. The joint and bowls however seemed to have a little bit of trouble staying lit, does this mean it could dry for like a day longer??
It gave me heady high, but the high wasnt too strong. maybee a good month or 2 curing will help the taste and potency. Oh well maybee the next one will be better.
Now for my next grow Im not sure wheather i should stick with the seeds i got or try a new strain.. the only reason i am aprehensive about picking up some new seeds is because they are so damn expensive. Anyone kno any places i can get maybee like a 5 pack of quality seeds for a descent price?
Your buddies. Everywhere else is expensive. I like Marijuana Seeds (cannabis, pot) shipped worldwideQuote:

I have put up some mylar to get the most out of my 400w MH/HPS and hope that will help. I also rigged up a drainage system out of a storage bin and some rod shelfing things, which should make the task of watering not so painful:thumbsup:.
Temps have been about 75-80F in the day times and 70-75 in the nights. I dont even have to run my heat at all in my room b/c the exaust fan blow sall of the hot air from the cool tube directly into my room, then my room is heated for the day and night until the light kicks back on in the morn:thumbsup: I think im probably spending less on heating my room with my light than i would be using with my houses heating system.... go figure huh:)
Nute wise, I plan on backing off of the foxfarm granuals this time, maybee i will just use a pinch here and there during mid fowering, but thats it. I think they burned the shit out of my plants last time. I still going to use the foxfarm 3-part, then some liquid karma, sweet, and some molasses:thumbsup: hopefully that will do the trick this time.
Here are the first pics
Wow Cwesto.... really nice setup you got this time...i think this will be a huge success....:thumbsup:
I'll be watching.....good luck...:thumbsup:
Thanks Zeb..
Im hoping this one goes good too. Im a little worried though right now, as my baby plants have seemed to slow down growth considerably, ans a couple plants havent even developed 3 finger leafs yet and are drooping.
I hope storing my seeds in the fridge didnt hurt them:wtf:
Here are some knew pics, u can see in the first pic and second, sone of the problem plants:weedpoke:, slow lil bastard dont get a going and their fix'n to get the trash bin... too bad, so sad. Im starting to think i shouldnt have stored those seeds in the fridge.
Today they were fed with:
1 tbls (15ml) Bigbloom
1 tsp (5ml) Growbig
I know that u arent supposed to fert for 2 weeks, but they were basically seedlings for a week. Why u ask, i have no clue, they just have been growing REALLY slow. So now day 8 + the week they were basically seedling, which some could probably still be considered = 2 weeks.
Also i fit in my nice oscilating ionic breeze, instead of that small white non-oscilating thing i had in there.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
People say two weeks until nutes, but it's not actually so much the time you should be concerned with, but the health. Careful. Watch for signs of nute burn.
Right on brotha-man Opie. I spent the weekend out of town up north, and just got home, so when i watered them about 10 minutes ago I only mixed 6ml Bigbloom this time, hopefully the back off will help growth.
pic 1 - some funky looking growth is goin on.
pic 2- The problemo plant has seemed to get a lil perk back since last time i saw her
pic 3 - The whole bunch
pic 4 - my 2 fav's
do you ge that fox farm soil online?, if not what store?
u coulld get it online at a number of gardening/growing stores... i get mine at a local gardening center. Ill warn u right now that it is expensive, I pay 30$ a bag at my store. I also mix it at a 3:2 ratio with perlite b/c it is so expensive to make it last.
If u r going to look online for some just google it and u should be able to find some online places that offer it.
Also if u do get decide to use it remember that it is at least partially fortified, so u wont have to add any nutes for a while until ur plants use up all the nutes in the soil itself.
I wonder if that weird growth is caused by a root touching some fertilizer in the soil.
you should check out "black gold" its cheap, organic, and better than FF.......Quote:

U mean a deposit of built up fert??Quote:

ask around your local hydro shops, if they are knowledgeable, they will have it or know where to get it.
stinkyattic recommends a mix from agway, and we have an agway down the way from me so i had a buddy use the soil she recommended. it seems to be workin rather well also.....
Right on, yea my hydro store here has more nutes I have never heard of, but for some odd reason the only potting soil they sell is the ocean forrest. Im not exactly against the ocean forest execpt fo rthe price, but i am for sure not for it. I would love to find some black gold or agway somewhere.Quote:

Ok, im not experienced at all w/ foliar, but i fgured id try it, this morn at 6AM when the lights came on mixed 1/2 tsp growbig to a gallon of tap. Obviously i only needed about 1/32 of that gallon, so the rest got the pitch, cause i dont like storing solutions (sounds like alot to risk).
Anyways i just got doen with classes for the day and back to my place. I cant really tell any obvious improvement from the plants, but i sure dont see them stressing it at all:thumbsup:
If neone experienced w/ foliar has any advice for me i would appreciate.
PS - Ill have soem new pics tomoro when my plants get thier normal feedings. So until tomoro.......:cool:
Not built up ones, regular ones. You said your dirt is at least partially fortified so I assume that means there are actual little pieces of fertilizer in there. If not, sorry and forget it.Quote:

These new grow tips already have pretty big leaves. Ill try to get a good pic tomoro when i get my "Ansel Adams" on.
Also has neone else had anything like this happen?? Its almost as if the plant said "fuk the main grow tip lets focus on the sides." lol oh well, the new growth looks healthy so im not relly worried.:jointsmile::hippy:
I could be wrong, but from what i have heard Ocean Forrest is somewhat fortified, so i see what ur saying now. If I am incorrect about that fact tho, than im not too sure what goin on.Quote:
