Well my White Widows are the only CB plants I have ever seen in my life so I can't really say if they are amazing or not. My goal is to not fuck up too badly this first time really.
And Danish.
I am even more interested to begin with what the wet weight of the trimmed plant 1 cola will be :D . It feels like 2 friggin pounds when I try to weigh it in my hands, really does (will probably just be like 10 ounces on a scale lol). It just feels so damn heavy.
holy moly. thouse R some of the biggest buds I have ever seen.:thumbsup::D
:stoned:
:jointsmile:hehe Puffzter, I am so proud of your grow. It seems like it started yesterday! Were you able to look with magnification yet? Just curious! Or my eyes are getting bad from looking at such nice buds!! Take it any way you can get it!! Nicely done! And we aren't finished yet! Are you getting prep for new grow yet, or taking a break to :rastasmoke: and enjoy it! pr:jointsmile:
Well I did get my handheld microscope today actually and I am revising my plan slightly because of it.
I have about 60% clear and 40% milky with very few ambre atm.
The high is trippy as one would expect with this trich balance and strain.
I thought a bit about stopping the flush and mix another batch of nutes but I decided in the end to just prolong the flush from the 4-5 days I had planned to 4-5 days more.
The runoff I get atm is above 1000ppm so there is still food to use stored in the coco to keep them a bit longer and I want well flushed Mj in the end so it will work out.
The other reason is that I want a lot of head in this batch since the next one will be 8 plants of a heavy Indica and 8 plants of WW.
So If I run next batch to a lot of ambre I will have a Couch lock and a 50/50 couch/head from there. The plants I am about to harvest soon will be very much head so then I will cover the spectrum quite well in my stack.
So, I am not harvesting until after the coming weekend. I will not let too many ambre trichs be present though so if they start to show up in numbers I will cut them directly.
Puffzter
Get your machete ready!!! Sounds like the scope came just in time. From the sounds of things, it seems to have worked out perfect! It is an interesting theory that the coco holds the nutes longer, we'll see! :thumbsup: PR
It's not a theory. ;)
I pour in pH corrected water at 250ppm and I get runoff out that is well over 1000ppm, its salts that disolves and feed the plants now until the medium is out of it. After that the flush is done.
Hey puffzter wher did you buy your aero system cause im thinking about setting up a little 2-4 plants aero... so trying to figure out where to buy and WHAT to buy and at what prices...
Puffzetr,
All I can say is amazing:thumbsup::thumbsup: and congradulations.
For your first grow this is outstanding. My first grow now that I look back on it, "sucked" compared to my second. But to be honest you did it in your first, I don't think there is much more your going to get out of those plants (meaning you maxed out full potential of the plant) I am glad to see you got some Hindu Kush coming up:thumbsup: I like playing around with different strains until I find the one that I fall in love with. Kinda like looking for a wife is a way to put it.
Great work! JG

Beautful job.
I'm sold on coco and skill.:greenthumb:
Weeze
I am also trying to gro in coco. but I can't figer out how much to water each time ya water in coco.
and ya urs is a great looking grow.:thumbsup:
For someone that has been :stoned: since accidently breaking some buds off, you sure make a lot of sense! Oh Puff, U so smart! Pr :jointsmile:
Thanks for the comments. You are all making me blush. :)
Danish: The system is a Nutriculture Amazon so most hydro shops in Europe can get them I guess. Same company that make the Wilma systems. They have a lot of different products, check here.

Jerry: Thanks man. <3ยจ
Weezard: I'm glad to hear that m8. If a couple of guys try out coco because of my log I would be really happy. It should be tried for comparison by any indoor grower I think.
Hydrocannabis: You will find a rythm m8. Look at them. And by them I mean the medium not the plants. :) It has to be watered before it dries. So a few hours after the top layer is dry at the latest it needs to be watered again. Water to a little bit of runoff everytime.
My dark period is 3am to 3pm and I water at 3-5pm and 1-3am every day. Before the 4th week of veg they only got it once a day or even less in the early stages. If you have excel in your computer then download my personal log, it shows exacxtly day by day how I have watered. If you don't have it I posted screenshots from it in a post a couple of days ago that can be downloaded.
Pain: Hehe, I'm not :stoned: THAT much really. hehe
Cheers guys

Hi.
Some photos again. Wednesday is planned cut and from lights out at 3am tuesday morning they will be kept in total darkness for 36-40 hours before cut.
I have used strings and a lot of effort in other ways to keep them standing up the last days.
Plant 1:

Plant 2, now stringed to a corner post so now standing again.

I do 72 hours of this, Something you may want to consider:thumbsup:

ok thanks for the info. so what if the coco stays wet for 1-2 days. then is that a good thing or a bad thing.
I started with clones but they don't look like there gunna make it or even root. and I really really really wanna try and save them cuz there from my outdoor plants which R covered in trich.
and also thouse last bud pix. holy moly oly. I wish I was ur neighbor then we could could both grow and smoke right next door.:D
cant wate to see the dry weight of the monster buds.:thumbsup:
My coco is always wet, you should not let coco dry. It's the opposite of soil in that respect. It can't be overwatered as long as pots are drained.
About the clones I don't know what the problem is.
I have cloned quite a lot of plants directly into coco without even humidity dome and they make it.
double post, sorry
thanks for more info. so do U water once a day or more than that.:)
and how long did it take ur clones to start growing?
there R 5-9 drain holes that I made at the bottom of each pot.
I water 2 times a day.
In the early life of the plants it was once every day or even less.
My plants grows in 1.8gallon pots.
Clones started to grow after 10-12 days.
Puffzter
no way. there only 1.8 gallon pots. holy moly.:thumbsup:Quote:

stay cool.
Ye it's 1.8 pots.
That's one of the cool things with coco. You have to confine the roots really really badly before the plants go rootbound.
All 5 plants are big and with a lot of buds on them and have been grown in the same 1.8 gallon pots from seed, never transplanted these.
Puffzter
first let me say damn me and the lady have been following ur grow from the start and damn you finally convinced me and the lady to go out and get coco we've just been in dirt so we'll see how it goes if it goes half as good as yours the lady will be happy and if shes happy im happy any more tips u can drop would be great:thumbsup:
Cool, nice to hear man.
Every single thing I have done to the plants as well as their response are in the excel files I upload now and then, that might be a good source of information if you are gonna start up your first coco grow.
(linked in posts now and then during this grow)
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.
Since it is not your first grow the most important thing to know is basically that you treat coco as an opposite of soil, so --> Water as much as you want but don't let it dry. ;)
For the rest it is the same I spose except that the plants react much faster to changes. They react fast and they grow fast. :rastasmoke:
Puffzter
hey Puff i was wondering how much longer are you going to wait till you harvest them buds? They almost done? White widow is a hybrid right?
Yes WW is a hybrid. 60% indica.
Well I have been sitting with my thinking hat on all day trying to decide what to do with the harvest.
Plan was to cut on wednesday, day 63 of 12/12, but I am contemplating to nute them tomorrow and then harvest 3-4 days later instead. They have been on a flush for 6 days now and they are ready to cut in that respect but I feel I can get a bit more out of them without getting too much couch lock. I have a lot of clear trichs yet.
Problem is the damn plants can't stand up without a lot of work now and I am afraid I will cause a mess everytime I touch them atm.
Ultimatelly I will decide for sure at lights on, 3pm. Either I let the lights flip on and nute them one last time or I keep lights off and water them a last time without nutes and then let them stay dry and in the dark for a couple of days and then cut.
I will decide at 3pm. Either thursday or sunday will be last day.
Puffzter
a few more days wont hurt, let them grow to their full potential, i saw one plant you posted was like dark brown redish hairs, that thing plant looked sick, wait till they swell up, and yea let them babies chill in the dark for a few days :smokin:
I know but I do have my reasons.
Plant 1 and 4 are close to ready and have very compact colas and buds. Plant 3 is close also but not as much so.
Plant 2 and 5 are dragging behind a little bit from the others.
Reason I will cut them a little bit early is that I want trippy weed from this batch. I am doing a 50/50 SoG grow next time of WW and Hindu Kush and that one will be grown to ambre trichs and get me a true hybrid and a pure indica so if I follow my plan I will get trippy weed this time from harvesting a little bit early and next time the true hybrid AND the pure indica. So when that is done I cover the spectrum (in theory). :D
Puffzter
u could just cut half ur crop by the time its half way smokable chop the others ps thanx for the 411.... lets get sum more bud shots plz....:jointsmile::thumbsup::hippy::D
I might do that as well ofc but...
I don't think I can without some serious string work. They are keeping eachother up. all of them. Whatever I do in there some branch breaks off. They have grown standing close together so most branches are used to being suported and directly fall when I try to untwine them.
I let them stretch too fast during that period and that's what giving me problems now.
Lessons for the future. :)
I'll push them a few more days but that's it.

My dad decided on a surprise visit and is here in 2 hours to stay for 2 days.
He natrually has no idea I grow weed nor do I intend to reveal that to him so I wont sit in my appartment trimming CB plants the coming days, hehe.
Problem is I have to sort my bedroom which he will be sleeping in, it's full of boxes and stuff since my walk in closet is full of cannabis plants, 5 big ones and a nursery with 16 clones and 2 mothers.
This is gonna be interesting.
"Son, whats that noise from the closet?"
"Just the house ventillation that's gone a bit berzerk dad"
"Oh ok. Well it stopped sometimes during the night and now at 3pm sharp it's back again, strange."
"They'll come and fix it next week, no problems"
Hmm, come to think about it I might have a problem here after all. The door into the room need to be open most of the time or the temperatures in there will go up a LOT. Maybe I better just start the dark period now then I can run the fans on low just to keep the air scrubbed coming out of the tent.
Well, settled.
I am shutting off the timer and lights wont come on again.
Friday is harvest day!
:)
(you think it will all be cured and ready for my birthday on, eh saturday? :D )
Puffzter
Surprise visits? :eek:
It sounds like you've got a good plan. Congratulations! I can't believe it's already harvest time. :) I'm looking forward to seeing the photos and hearing what your yield is.
I germinated the seeds 4th of july so its been a few months after all.
It's gone really fast though, fun fun times growing these plants.
Dad is here now but my op is well hidden and wont be found so no problems hehe.
He wouldn't go berzerk but he would mention it back home and there a few would go bananas for sure lol.
Puffzter
Today is the day :D
A friend is coming over to pick up a computer game in an hour or two then I cut.
All is ready here.
Snip snip snip.
Will natrually take pictures and stuff and post when all is ready.
C ya soon guys.
Puffzter
cant wait 4 the pics
im giddy with anticipation!
ok then I am would like to see the befor pix of the plants/buds befor the cut. then plants after pix of them cutup. and maybe even some good flash pix.
this was a kickass grow log.:thumbsup: I bet the dryed product is gunne scrubb u up.:D:stoned::stoned::stoned: 4:20
we've all been waiting for this cant wait puff:jointsmile::D
Damn this is hard work.
Only 2 plants ready in 5h of work.
Plant 5 and plant 3 is trimmed and hung to dry and I must say I have some surprising results so far.
More later I am gonna trim one more now and take the last two tomorrow, it's 2.30 am here. I will post the pics I have before I go to bed though.
Now, back to the salt mine.
Puffzter
oh you are a player, keeping everyone on the edge of their seat like that "some surprising results", man, your killin me!:wtf:
Hehe, well sorry for that. :)
Ok, here we go.
3 plants harvested and my back is killing me now so I am taking a break until I have slept a few hours. It's 6 am now.
I trimmed them a lot as I will have weed for over a year just from this harvest so I might as well do it right.
I also saved all the high grade trim to make butter with and Bubble hash. Only small buds and very resinous trim was saved for that, everything else is not saved. So, I could have gotten more weight by keeping the small buds out of the trim but as I said I don't need all this weed anyway so it's going for muffins and hash tries. :D
I put everything on the scale but it does'nt mean much more than a very rough indication but it still surprised me a bit that plant 5 was not ahead of the other two with its 6 colas. I knew the colas on the other plants were much denser but still. It does show that dense buds is the way to go though and my mother plants for coming grows comes from plant 4 which have the densest buds so that's good.
Anyway, here are the pics and numbers for the first 3 harvested plants, the other two will be presented tomorrow.
One ounce is 28 grams.
Plant 5, the FIM'd one with 6 colas. It was a huge plant but not so dense and also the least resinous. Wet weight 293 grams, 51 grams saved trim.
http://i314.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/DSCI0646.jpg
Plant 3, big surprise. I never thought this would pack so much mass. Very resinous plant as well. Wet: 389!! grams, 108 grams saved trim.
http://i314.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/DSCI0649.jpg
Plant 4, the stretch monster but also the fastest to build buds. I had to fuck up this plant a lot in stretch to keep it so I hurt the production quite a lot but it is dense and resinous and is my favourite so in the future I grow my WWs with this plants genetics. I am sure I can grow huge colas from this one when I do cloned SoGs. Wet: 296g, 94g saved trim.
http://i314.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/DSCI0651.jpg
I have some more pictures but I hold them until all 5 plants have been harvested and presented.
See you soon guys.
Puffzter
