End of day 20, lights turned off while i was in the room, cool temps tonight...i wish i had started 2 or 3 months ago so i couldve had nice cool temps throughout the whole grow, but well see. I think im going to get a carbon filter with a nice powerful fan suckin air outta the room.
Do i need to have an intake fan also because the AC isnt always on? or do yo think itll get hotter during the summer w an intake?
Well those of you that have been silently and verbally following along, you may notice the straggler is out of there...
My brother and i decided to make and experiment out of it and took it deep in the woods and planted it where there is moderate sunlight. I think well check up on it every 2 or three weeks and give it a good heavy FF feeding :D
Here are some close ups of some of the more mature stems, one of them is quite a good pic i must say! the duet picture is of the two oldest plants, however the plant on the left is the oldest, it hasnt developed leaves by the stem like the others have. Im just guessing its the strain well have to wait and see if it takes longer to flower also!!
toke on and on...and on! :jointsmile:
I have spotted some minor nute burn on some of the leaves, coulld be over fertilizing or just the fox farm...im not to worried about it im going to give them a little fresh water flush tomorrow.
Im leaving for a week, and my bro is going to do me a favor and look after them for a little bit...Im setting out a little over 2 and a half gallons of water to get impurities out and tomorrow before i leave im going to put some big bloom and grow big into the water, low dosage. He will be giving them one double shot of water every morning, im fairly comfortable with this, not an over abundant source of nutrients yet not too little, and still have some water everyday, but i think itll do the job for a week. Any objections?
One leaf on a plant in the pot with the two plants was too close to the light for too long and half of a leaf turned brown, not worried about it im sure itll still be just fine
Gettin ready for a night cap, toke on ill let you guys and gals kno of any updates as soon as i get em!
alright my bro has been takin care of the babies and they are really bad looking now...i go back tomorrow and going to give them a transplant and a plentiful serving of water...
The older ones are dry and crinkly and curling over.. Im upset i know if i was there it wouldnt have happend, ill try to get some pictures on friday im doing an early morning transplant hopfully b4 the lights turn on. IM NERVOUS!!!! I dont want to lose em!
i hope they're ok, they looked really healthy.
btw, those 'hairs' you were talking about last week weren't the 'hairs' you're looking for i don't think, cause the plants are way too young. first, the stems are covered in 'hairs', if you look with a magnifier you'll see what i mean. also, where the leafstem meets the mainstem you will see two little things that look like shoots, or 'hairs', that's almost certainly what you see.
oh, and if your bro killed your plants, don't kill him, just plant some more, it'll suck having to go through the wait again but it'll be worth it the first time you roll one from your own sweet bud.
also, ruderalis is, as far as i know, the only type of cannabis that isn't photoperiodic meaning it flowers when it's ready, whether you have it under the lights 24\0. mostly it's used for making rope, clothing etc., etc. etc.. it aint worth smoking either. you can sometimes find cannabis seeds mixed in with bird seed but usually, it's Ruderalis.
anyway, toke amongst yourselves
bozo,
peace, love, dope
yea plants look like shit. all of my 5 died....that means no crystal, or strawberry cough. I think in august im gonna start another grow, official grow, its too damn hot in my attic. Im really thinkin about buying DJ Shorts Grape Krush. NL#5 is a nice strain, but one strain thats been weighing heavily on my mind is Master Kush, i got a quad of it last week and it is the most amazing smell, like a sugary bouquet of flowers. and the high is very desirable, meets every one of my anti anxiety standards, i love it. so hopefully by then i can get a nice light and the seeds that i want. Money saving time!
ill let youall know the results of this grow. toke on
i'd just use free bagbeans until you get a feel for how the plants feel, and it is like getting a feel for it.
last year i decided to grow for the first time ever, in 40 years of smoking the ganja, because a buddy of mine threw some seeds in a pot out on his patio the summer before.
what really inspired me was that my buddy, because he didn't bother doing ANY research, decided that some of the plants looked healthier than others. being certain it was better to keep the 'stronger' plants, he culled the shorter plants.
what he did was, he killed all the fems, lol.
so i figured i'd give it a try, see what I could do, with research, and re-research, ad infinitum (pardon if my latin is misspelled, lol)
anyway, last year i killed 2 batchs of 30 seeds each, almost entirely.
only 5 of the second batch of 30 survived. fortunately for me, 4 were fems and they produced approx. 50 clones before i shut it down. i was only yielding about 4 grams dry per, too meager for the effort.
now i learn hydro with cfl's, WAY better.
so, in short, keep researching, and go kill some bag seed, don't wait, find a way to deal with your heat issues now, with the bag beans.
if you do, when you get quality beans, you'll just punch them in and begin production.
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED, it's only failure if you don't try again!
Noooooo! Dude, you had a GREAT grow going. I am bummed for you. Get back on that horse and ride it into the sunset (with a phat doobie in hand):thumbsup:
I agree with justanotherbozo. You should PRACTICE your method with BAGSEED, you will feel much more confident knowing that IF you DO mis-step, the investment won't be as substantial as purchasing some prime beans.
I too like justanotherbozo killed my first 2 sets of fully germ'd seedlings before I got my process down right. It isn't hit or miss, it's a science. Not exacting, but pretty precise. My current Venture is moving along nicely. Once it reaches COMPLETION I will start a Named strain grow.
Good luck on your future grow:thumbsup:
damn man better luck next time. At least you got some experience and that will help greatly on your next grow, and now you know that cooling/ventilation will be your biggest concern on future grows.
When your confident with your methods and have a suitable environment then go for the good stuff. Although you can find some inexpensive strains that are still great.
stay irie
Thanks all you guys, i see your point with just getting some bagseed i just hate all the effort for shitty bud ya know? ill probably just do a combo pack and get some random strains.
All the plants are dead now, summer just isnt the right time, too hot and my bro and i have been out of town at the same time too often to keep a grow going.
Good news though, our outdoor plant is looking decent for being 4 to 5 weeks in the wild, it rained heavily here and the dirt that was around it overflowed and the first check was scary to see only the top 2 nodes sticking out of the ground but we pulled it out and the plant is about 12 inches, a little hungover from the dirt but we have it about a gallon and a half of recycled and new soil and nicely poured a gallon of heavily nourished water to last it a couple of weeks. Im doing another check in a week and a half b4 i go out of town again, Hope its a female!
