Are MJ plants related to ferns in any way?...I know stupid question.
I'm hoping they grow to at least 1/3 the size of Cunt's or Whore's buds. I'll take 1/4, but I'm hopin'...they have at least five more weeks to go.
I'm just psyched because of how they are compaired to my first grow. And I know I can do much better with my next grow.
The smart people will have to take the fern question.
I just found that thread. WTF was arathi laying into you for? I run hack programs, so I'm in and out of anonymous proxies all the time. For cops to get a search warrant for my house, they'd have to apply to judges in three separate jurisdictions with probable cause. Shitload of work and money. All to find out it was a proxy.Quote:

Those are going to be so sweet and fat.....
Maybe not like Cunt...she was just a freak of nature......and maybe not as long as Whores....she was tied long before flowering.....
But you will have a nice harvest on your hands. Your buds are highly stem based....so they will grow up and around the stem making them bigger buds as opposed to 'top' flowers, which produce smaller cones primarily at the tips...
Doesnt mean it will be better....
Do you have any trichs yet? The strongest strains should be giving you some trichs to view now....as attached...... :D
Well, three of four are fairly coated with trichs on the flowers and leaves at 30x. I hadn't really looked 'cause it feels like I beat up the bud sites using the microscope too much. And I get a little obsessive using it on every bud...Did you keep the leaves you manicured from the buds separate? They must be a pretty decent smoke.
"Your buds are highly stem based....so they will grow up and around the stem making them bigger buds as opposed to 'top' flowers, which produce smaller cones primarily at the tips.."
I kind of assumed this, but wasn't really sure what to expect. The 'top' flowers I have on two of the girls look pretty cool, but it's as if that's all there is to the plant, as far as harvest goes.
Its looking good, I hope my first grow is as successul I need to get 3-4 ounces to feel like I got my money back.. HYDRO next
Just a quick Flower Day 24 update...
The close-up pic is of the bud at the far left that's kind of cool. The plant just has a main kola and wasn't bent or tied much, but the main bud is about the size and shape of a small pear so far. I had almost killed her for room a while back.
DAMN!!!!
It just hit me how much bud is actually there... and still more to come.
Just a quick Flower Day 26 pic update...
9ski9.....
Notice how the tallest tops are right under the light?
I would place the tallest on the ends, and work your way inward so the smallest are right under the lights. You will create a bowl shaped light arena.
This keeps the tallest plants from casting shade upon the smaller ones.
What a great job you have done on the nutes...they are so darn green and so very healthy...
What have you been using and how much and how often?
What is your plan on the nute schedule from here out? Now is the time you need to start planning your specific strategy for the final four weeks of flower.
Just super good grow my man..... :)
Thanks, HD...
I guess my issue is that my main plant, Ginger Lynn, is in a 5 gallon pot in the middle. She has by far the most secondaries/bud sites, so I gave her prime location.
I have a slanted ceiling and bent the reflector to match the slope, then used pipe cleaners to "lean" the main kolas of the other plants toward the center of the light.
I need to take all the girls out and stop fighting them.
Great suggestion; sometimes you just need to hear/read something.
Nutes? Well, they got tons of bat guano through veg. Then I started on a very diluted (1/4 recommended) Schultz Cactus Juice which is 1-7-6 a couple of days into flower. Now it's 1/2 strength Cactus Juice every other watering (they get 2 liters every other day, so they get 1/2 strength nutes every 4 days). I've read that Schultz Cactus Juice is recommended at full strength once a week. At the first sign of burn, I'll cut them back, but they seem to be thriving and using it all.
Superthrive in every watering---PH 6.8 water. I mist them like crazy...well, a light mist twice a day, but never within 3 hours of sleep.
Lastly, I've kept one plant as a crash test dummy. She gets double nutes, but is in the worst light position. She'll show signs of a problem before my good girls do. I tried to OD her on guano, but she was fine. Now, I've given her mad helpings of Cactus Juice and she's still okay.
Off to think about my light situation...thanks, again!
Hmmm...rearrangement #1...
Why is it that you just never seem to have enough light?
Because you never do!Quote:

9ski9....
That looks so much better. Every time you stick your head in that grow room, leaf by leaf, plant by plant, make sure the fans arent blocking any flowers. One by one.
That looks so much better. But dont be afraid to rotate them every fricking day.....I turn mine every day into a new position but I keep true to the fundamentals of low plant center and taller on sides.
What you lose from the tallest, you more than gain in the extras the new canopy shape will encourage :)
Thuglette....
Your light system, though older, still has grown some nice plants.
You simply need to have a high powered exhaust fan at the top near the unit. You need a vortex fan.
One fan blows on the bulb directly, the exhaust fan then takes the heat out.
Just a quick Flower Day 27 update...
Approx. 29 days to harvest. Today was just an auto-pilot kind of day; misted twice, turned them a little, but nothing else.
When are you planning to stop her nutes?
Just curious.
Your call from here...you been a great daddy...except poor Hardonna...may she RIP.
I had planned on three more gentle (1/3 strength) nutes. One at day 30, day 36, then day 42. Maybe one final one at day 48, leaving about 12 days to flush.
I have a habit of weak but frequent nutes from regular gardening. Perhaps this is bad? I've read theories on both sides.
Have I unknowingly been pissy sounding, HD? I'm in unchartered waters here and will happily accept advise...anything to nudge them toward Whore and Cunt's BBW looks. And, also, whatever the fuck Angry Johnny came up with. Jeez, I feel like the guy in the shower with a tiny dick looking at these threads.
lookin very nice 9ski i wish i had some advice you could use, but not all of us can be harddon ;)
i started growing various other plants that could have some psyadelic affect but i doubt my parent know what they are, got some poppy germinating, syrian rue, some cool lokin flower in my neighboors yard and finnaly some catnip for my babies :). hopefully they will give me a closet and lemme grow some tulips along with my other plants for her as soon as they see my lil locker got to crowded.
Just a quick Flower Day 28 update...halfway home!
Just curious, but wouldn't MJ prefer cooler night temps during the latter stage of flowering to mimick nature?
Sometimes in your flowering stage if the tempature drops a bit like 20-30celcius its really good for the plant. They like the heat change sometimes :) sexy beasts.
Love your grow 9ski9, awesome.
Ha, thanks, Joel. Er, that's 68 to 86 degree fahrenheit for us Amerrikans.
Just a real quick Flower Day 29 update...
Another auto-pilot day.
Looks like growth has ceased to about 1/4" a day......
That means they will begin to fatten now as they grow still taller.
How much room do you have left?
Yeah, it's hard to tell there's any growth except by comparing pics. 1/4" is about right. Most buds have 12 to 18 inches of vertical space, while three main kolas are pushing it to about six inches from getting too hot. I just figure I can bend them when the time comes. And it's a weird slant, so I could always remount the HPS to a higher spot and gain another three or four inches.
The number of vegging days seem to be a huge detail in grows with limited space...I went 46 days and I'm thinking I'm okay...guess I'm gonna find out for sure.
Wow, I can definitely tell....
especially if you look at day 27 and then 29......the greenage stays about the same but the buds look bigger.......
sweet....
high bye the way..
:D
high everyone...I've got to go manage attachments, but I thought I would drop by...
nice job nineski..
missed you lmc, if your up we'll talk, later maybe
Trust me....46 days or 21 days....matters not.
They will triple in height during flower.
They will continue to grow at about 1/4" a day now til the end....thats if you have any MH present.
If not, look for 1/8 - 1/4 inch daily from here out. DO the math and see what you have. Dont get caught by surprise.
You have at least another 4 weeks????? of flowering? thats another 28 - 30 days...
at .25 inches a day....thats another 7" :D
They arent so easy to bend once they have those thick stalks. Some wont allow it...so, just be prepped and ready at the helm.
Cool, thanks, HD. Much like the girls I've met, I can handle 7 or 8"...
Just a quick Flower Day 32 update...
Jeez, this morning I woke up to a half-dead, droopy looking mess. Unlike HD, I did not pause to take an informative photo (I wish I had), but rushed to the water jugs. My first near-miss fuck-up. But 10 minutes later and they were fine.
Cant tell from the pic...how is the trich production coming along>
They should be starting to emerge about right now.....do you have an MH bulb to support them with some UV-B rays? That will help them...
Also are these sativa dominant plants or Indica?
Looks like it could be a 10 - 12 week flower process :)
sick man they sum healthy lookin greens u got, keep us posted
Looking more beautiful every day skiâ?¦.. ;)
Hi, Clever!
They are mostly indica...I had two mostly-sativa plants: one male and one hermie; both now long dead. Trichs are all over the buds and those upper leaves; they are perfectly clear right now.
No MH right now, HD. If I knew then what I know now, I suppose I'd have gone with a 400w switchable ballast. Instead, I suppose I should pick up a 250w MH and stick it in my grow room along with the 400w HPS.
I can grab a 250w MH system right now for $147.50 (includes shipping). If you were in my position, would you do it, HD?
ABSOLUTELY.
You still have about 4 weeks so you can kick them into high gear still :)
You have the perfect ratio to achieve as well.
PURRFECT :)
Okay, thanks, HD...I just bought one...it'll arrive Wednesday at the latest.Quote:

This sucks without HD around.
I know there are plenty of genius growers and great people...but HD is HD. Not having the resident sometimes-borderline-psychotic-mad scientist-pervert here leaves a huge empty space.
How the fuck did that guy learn so much about growing in a couple of months? Look at his old posts and he was asking about basic lighting...a month later and he's preaching bending. By the end of the grow, he's cooking hash oil to perfection.
I admit I'm curious as to what Mrs. HD is like. What person could possibly live with HD?
I know things happen on message boards that are mostly unkown and can feel pretty catastrophic to those involved. I'm on another MB having to do with my sport and had to take a month off when some of my best friends didn't back me up during a flame war. I needed a month away to chill and even deleted the bookmark.
So maybe that's it. His leaving came shortly after his signature changed to the disclaimer. Maybe the fun was chased away with real fears and concerns.
I sure hope he pops back up in a day or a month.
It's just not as good.
And it sucks without HD around.
