congrats on the pistils!!
yeah that sucker is purple!!!!
never seen one that purple b4. looks like its comin around tho there at the top...
bout to be moving next week into the boonies..
its about 20 miles from where i live now, and about 35 miles from my plot.
so that sux. and i wont have free wi-fi out there.. its really really country..lol
i can always charge up and come into town and holler at ya and update n all that... just wont be very often, hopefully at least once a week...
keep up the good work bro..
:thumbsup:
Ok, there im sure undeveloped pistils, but look odd to me in first pic? Best pic i could get.:wtf: At each node you can see the white, is it just not developed yet?
Check out the leaves under the white hairs. The leaves are really sticky. Im really hoping these baby's bud up each side of this plant. I only have a few plants and dont really have anyone to get weed from. No one wants to drive way out here in the boonies.:D
One thing, man my freckin plants really dont have much of a smell to them. I have 3 that stink, but my biggest one really was nothing?:wtf::wtf::wtf:
A nice sizer pic i thought looked nice:):rasta:
They will start reacting to less light and cooler temperatures, should thicken them up.
Nice companion you have there too.
that first pic is weird lookin...
2 & 3 look great! is that the ones that got burnt awhileback.
looks like a mighty fine dog ya got there
i bet they will stink once they get capitate-stalked trichomes on em.
Ok, does anyone see the white at the nodes. Im not sure if there just underdeveloped pistils or not. Ya gotta blow them up to see them. My others have very long pistils and get less light, So, the 2 first pic's are from my plant that gets more sun then all of the plants. There are pistils on the plant, no question. Its just that this plant took some bad light for a couple months maybe a couple x a week. Could it be this plant is behind the others, because its still getting a lot of light. Its what im thinking, because they are all same seeds. In the last pic you can see how long the pistils are:DQuote:

I see the white at the nodes too. Don't think it would be underdeveloped pistils tho. They look too large and strange shaped to be pistils. I believe male flowers can come in white, yellow, and green, though I have only experienced the green.
I would keep a keen eye on that one for the next few days just in case.
The difference in growth rates could be due to light amount, but don't forget there is no such thing as the "same" seeds. Each seed contains it's own individual combination of genetics. This is also a plausible reason.
I'm ecstatic to see that you have some nugs growing. Keep it up
Thanks, I was hoping you might stop by irydyum. I just blew up the last pic, i think, anyway the one showing buds and might have seen one at the top of that plant too? Shit:wtf:

Il keep an eye on them, thanks again!
If you do see any nanners on your female plant, you can try to pick them off. Not sure how much dexterity you still have in the hands, but if you can manage, pull one off and take a look at it. If it's a male flower and you roll it between your fingers, it should break up into about 5 skinny oblong pieces, and it may or may not have some pollen in it. It should also be either white, green, or pink on the inside. I suppose that could be one way to know for sure. Let us know if you see anything else, I'm always lingering, even if I'm not posting:D
Yeah, iv been looking for naners and looking hard, but as of Sat. iv not seen any. Geez iv transplanted this thing at least 4 times, which was work i enjoyed, but if it hermy's up il be bumbed.
Oh and irydyum, i knew that the genetics were different from seed to seed, i dont have a clue why i wrote that. Looking for excuses i think.
Thanks for keeping an eye out though. Il try to get the same pic position, just to get a look of growth, its not like i have anything else going on.
Thanks :thumbsup::rasta:again
The first two pics look like a male for sure, so watch it closely and cut him down before the pollen flys. Males pollen sacks can literally open up overnight.
Great job cleaning up around the plants.
Nanners usually show up much later in flower, so I think you good for a few more weeks.
Hey Hempsouth, thanks for stopin by. I had naners on my other plant already this year. It turned out to be male and i killed it. It went through a light leak, like this one. Its got pistils on it, just seems to have these white things growing on it now. If anything it might turn hermy.:(
I sent ya an email, did ya get it, im all nervous with excitment:D
Newbie dreams i think, thanks for the help and stopin by, later man:rasta:
Got you covered, you will hear back from me in a couple of days.
Up date on these white things, but of course im thinking they are not male parts. I saw the last big one turn male. This plant is not like the male i chopped down. The plants over all appearance is different. I have not seen any naners, at least like the male i chopped up. To bad ya cant make hash or something with males, because iv got 3 big ones laying out there.
I am trying to be an optimistic here of course, but at the same time Im realistic
:( I only think its growing much slower, because of the extra hours of light its getting. Yeah i could be working against me too:(, but we will see in time:rasta:
Also, here is a pic of the entire plant:thumbsup:
BTW im not trying to argue, the people here helping me, I truly need and appreciate there knowledge and time always! Dang i just want a nice big healthy female plant, i guess as we all do. I know i need to stop defending my plant issue's before diagnosed!:)
Plant looks good and healthy to me!!
admin needs to give u more stars..lol

Hey thanks for the stars. Wow! I feel like im catching on to a few things here. Thanks my friends:D:D:D:D:rasta:
Well iv been keeping an eye out and is growing well. The white things are sorta disappearing and either turning in to leaves or something i havent seen yet, but no balls of yet, cross your fingers. Shake suggested i use some molasses. Tried to get the correct kind but couldn't find, but what i bought. I am not sure how to use it or how often as this is all there getting at this point. I was worried about bugs, cuz this shit is messy as hell. Got all frickin sticky yesterday. I mixed 1 tbls to a gallon of tap water. I looked at them later in the evening and really no bugs at all, at least no increase in bugs. It says Mg of potassium, sodium Mg, sugars G, carbs G. Then under that Calcium 10% and Magnesium 20%; its also unsulphured.
Is it me or am i seeing some exaggerated leaf growth?
I gave each plant 1/3 dose/ as i wanted to start out slow and if a mistake happened, the cure would come easier and faster.
How often?
How much?
Couple of pics of potted plant in question and 2 of a couple beauties:rasta:
Can i use my 15-30-15 with the Molasses and just dilute it to about 1/4 strangth? Plants seem to love it. Then when trichomes stat to show any color, stop and just use the molasses?Quote:

it's diluted pretty well so it's not that sweet, hence the no more than usual bugs.
as you have found out, it's a good source of calcium and magnesium and several other trace nutrients. i believe that it can be used in lieu of calmag+ when using distilled or RO water.
that fert should be okay. start out at 1/4 strength and work your way up from there. you want to push them to their limit and back off just a bit. looks like they could use a little more N. the molasses will help supplement the K, but if you find something cheap to help as well it might be work a go. if not, no sweat.
to see the trichs clearly you might want to invest in a microscope. it'll run you about $13.
keep an eye on those trichs. they'll turn milky and then start to speckle amber. stop feeding nutes when they are almost all milky. just use the water and molasses.
i meant when about 75% turn milky. lol. blazing and typing out complete thoughts doesn't mesh so well all the time. my apologies!

I finally got through this thread. Very good log, letseeya.
I've had good results ordering from europe. Vu-Du, in Italy has some good stuff including Mr Nice Seeds. There are others in Britain and Netherlands that are very good as well as some discount vendors that sell brand name stuff for less than the breeders themselves.
I use 2 TBS /gallon balckstrap molasses. I recently read from a Jorjes Cervantes article where he recommended 2 tbs/quart every week
through flush.
Looks like you are doing very well for yourself too. I hope your crop comes in gangbusters.
Sho
what was his reasoning behind using 2tbs/qt during flush???
He probably recommends it because it is a good organic source of trace elements. In all of his flushing advice, he says to use a weak fertilizer solution to fix symptoms of deficiency during the grow but you wouldn't want to do that right before you harvest. So, sub in the molasses, and you have something to feed your plant to the end, without worrying about excess fertilizer being taken up and ruining your final product.
Hey shake thanks for comin by so fast. I was eager to start using the molasses to build up my Buds. So what i did was; well let me start from the way iv been doing things. I can carry one gallon at a time. So, i hit every plant with part of the one gallon. I make 3 trips every day to tend 6 plants. So each plant gets 1/3 gallon of water each day. This is what iv been doing since they've been big enough in the ground to handle this routine. Iv been mixing the fert at 3/4 strength and feeding them twice per week and thats the 15-30-15. I have worked up to this amount starting at 1/4. Now at 3/4 twice a week, while plain water each day at 1/3 gallon each plant. They seem to like this, because they are green and look perky. However iv noticed purple stems are coming back. Now earlier in the log i was told my ferts were to strong and was told not to use them, so for two weeks or so they only got water. Well the leaves got purple as well as the stems. I began using the ferts again and the new growth was nice and green. But today i noticed on a couple plants that the purple had come back. Am i giving to often, or to strong? Or just a genetic thing in the plants? I read that purple in some plants can come from Afghan origin. This im not sure of.Quote:

I had planned to feed molasses once a week and continue using ferts till i see trich's start to cloud up, then cut ferts and only use the molasses till pickin time.
Thanks again everyone. You guys make this so much interesting and im learning so much.:thumbsup::rasta:
Shake, i need the advise. I only wanted to let ya know what iv been doing. Id like big buds and you, Irydium and others have paved the way so far. I wrote the above only so you can say, to much ferts, not enough, to much water, blah, blah.
Just didnt want ya to think that im tryin to tell you how it works, cuz for me thats a joke. I think with the help iv gottin from those iv mentioned and really very much luck. Im here, so thanks everyone. Some day i would really like to help like you all have helped me.

:rasta:
We gotcha cuz. If you say you are adding nutes on a regular schedule, and the plant still seems to be showing deficiencies, it might be time to take your game up to the next notch and start ph control on everything. If you are adding nutes and the ph in the soil is out of whack, the plant can't take them up even though they are present. Do a couple searches on ph around here.
With some of your plants being directly in the ground, it may be difficult to gauge ph on those. (cant really do runoff test) Do a little lookin, and we will be here to help you figure it out.
I have only harvested one outdoor plant in my life and the quality was menial at best. I would look through some of their threads and see how they control ph. I'm sure the key is going to be the soil mix you use for the season, I'm just not sure of a good recipe on it.
Keep pluggin away brother, one day you are going to look back at this one and giggle:thumbsup:
no sweat LSY. i'm not trippin.
if you were using too much nutes you would have nute burn. i believe that the red/purple stems have to do with a deficiency. i'm not positive on this though.
what you are doing sounds fine. depending on your soil composition it could be leaching the nutes away from your plants.
just keep on doing what you are doing.
-shake
Sounds like you have a good plan going and things look healthy. Purpling stems can be genetic or lack of Phosporus. Just flush real good for two weeks at the end.
Shewwww! Thanks Shake, because after i wrote what i did, i sorta felt like i was telling you what i should be doing. But, thats not what the messege was for and only didnt want a great person who is helping me to think, i was thinking i knew it all:wtf: Thanks for getting what i wrote and understanding it:thumbsup::rasta:
Hey Irydum, thanks man for getting me. I know that there's a def. problem and never bought the Afghan. thing. Because after stopping the ferts,i was told were to strong and that my bud would taste bad. Which iv learned to stop feeding when trich's start getting cloudy and a good plain water only wash is the practice, my buds will be fine:)Quote:

Next time il get holes dug, pre planting and get some good stuff in there before a plant goes in. Iv learned a person can send there soil to the Dept. of Agriculture and they will send you a print out of your soil and its PH level. This is the plan for next year.
But, im going to give er hell to build a grow box. Small scale to keep learning through winter. This will also help plan the outdoor grow next year. Also, it will give me time to afford the tools needed to stay with the advise im given. My budget is low but there is no reason i cant get a little at a time. And i might have a few friends donate a few bucks after they have seen what iv done this year. The first thing im going to chase after the box is up and running is a strain to work with. The bag seed was fine for this grow but i need to take steps up the ladder as i go, or in my mind im treading water.
Also, thank you for getting what i wrote earlier, cuz i guess i felt a bit uncomforable after i had wrote it. And with out the help iv gotten i wouldn't even be here, so thanks again:thumbsup::rasta:
Hey Hemp thanks for comin by. I need all the advise i can get and it just feels good for me to see that people read what iv done, thanks again:thumbsup::rasta:Quote:

hey LSY, they look good but i think that you could be pushing the nutes a bit harder. that's just me though. if you're not comfortable then don't try it.

"what you are doing sounds fine. depending on your soil composition it could be leaching the nutes away from your plants"-shake.
Hey shake how are ya? Was just reading and saw this. Funny cuz i have cut back on the nutes, ferts, for past couple weeks. But above, my dad gave me a bunch of homemade soil he has made for years. He bought 6 dump trucks full. He built his garden up 3' up off the ground. Its called "muck", blackest dirt you will ever see. Come from very larger farms around that area. It started "washed" soil tho, cuz it was taken from cleaning irragation ditchs. He's done alot with it since. His garden is nice. But my plant growing in the pot is growing somewhat differnt from others, slow? This plants about 12'', that get only about 2-3 hours of light is getin better looking every day. Every leaf stem is purple. A few yellow leaves in all, but im feeling good so far.
Il start raising both. Just gave it ferts, then it poured:wtf:
Thanks for the help shake,:weedpoke:Keeper greenThanks for comin by, peace:rasta:
Ok i noticed this the other day. Its the only one like it on the plant. Iv looked it over well. There was a male beside it but i moved it before it flowered. Looks like a ball. If this turns male, or hermy il freak. Its my bigest and best looking one i have. Im not even sure you will have to blow up the pic. Its so big. Also, over all look of the plant. Pistils every place.:thumbsup:
I guess i should have posted the pic's. Im not sure what happen here i think i was trying to rush. Here are the pics of what looks like a seed growing, but just couldnt be:wtf:
