Bickey's making some crosses. and hoping to find the purple

Most of you probably have seen my grows around here... but i havent been on for awhile... my last grows have went really well and came out with some bomb product :stoned:.... but ive grown the same strain for awhile now and its time to switch it up a bit...

so heres what i got to work with :jointsmile:

4 Jack Herer clones
2 Super Silver Haze clones
... all purchased from a local shop in sacramento ... they said the genetics were from oaksterdam

11 grape ape X Mendocino purps seeds breeded by Danny Danko (which i dont know if its true but that what the peeps said at the club)

This time around im am trying some new soil ( 50% Roots organic 50% perlite)


everything is pretty much a week old i think (but not sure thats why i like doing these logs lol) :stoned:...excep 6 seed which are about 3 days old...


last night i transplanted the clones into some 1 gal pots and all of them had nice healthy white roots that filled the bottom of the party cups they start in...


for some reason my jack herer clones are always dropping a little bit until after about 6 hours of light ... but they were pretty sick when i pick them up.. :(

lights are at 18/6 for the clones and 24/7 for the seeds


the clones are under the 1000watt hps light for veg and will veg until the end of the month

i know im not over watering ... and the super silver haze is as perky as can be :rastasmoke:..
im just guessing the light is a little strong for them and they will snap out of it.. i havent seen a delay in growth

they will be given their first dose of nutes tomorrow

Nice looking plants Bickey, hope they flower well for you. Did the club give you any indication of which JH pheno you've got?

your little forest is coming along nicely!!

hey sarah .. nice to see some more peeps joining ..
they said it was a 50 50 pheno but i would say its more on the indica side because of the massive fan leaves.. but it looks like its gunna be a heavy yielder!! the side shoot stems are pretty fat probably the size of my toothbrush .. if that makes sense :stoned:

JACK HERER!!!!

i will start to trim the big fan leafs off next week ..


[attachment=o234662]

[attachment=o234663]

[attachment=o234664]

Nice, it's all coming along nicely. :greenthumb:

That JH looks interesting. What do you clip? The main-stem fans?, or just random fans to open her up?

Hoping to see some nice purple coming in! :cool:

Lookin' good.:)

nice couple bushes you got going there ..

i would really like to know why you are gonna trim some of the fans off..
from everything i have been able to gather they are one of the more important kinds of leaves on your gurl.. i am just wondering cause i got a few that bug me and i have been thinking about taking em off but dont wanna hurt the gurl.. ya know?
thanks

I dunno, I'd just as soon crop the bottom leaves and branches together. One, two, or three pairs. Let the top branches florish and the top fans catch the best light.

Gonna be awesome anyway.

Shov

sorry bout the jack bickey
and thanks for the info shov. i was gonna chop some of the bottom fans that are blacking the bottom buds that are kinda wwell developed but not getting much light..
i will take pics at 6 and if you are on then check out my log and see which one i was talking bout..
again sorry bickey
-MG

I would only take leaves out if they are too squashed to be doing any good. If they're free and clear, let em breathe.

thanks evil! :hippy:
i take the main stem fans off after about 10 days of flowering to open more light to the bottom to eliminate undeveloped buds... i usually do it to all my plants.

and i am hoping to get some good purps with these low temps i have ... 68-75 with lights on and 58-65 with lights off :hippy:

yeah i have read both views and ... some peeps do it some dont... i tend to trim them off so i can get more light to the buds

yo jake whats happening !!

i tend to tuck them as much as possible to allow the top of the shoots to get direct light... i only take off the BIG fans that come off the main stem and tuck and tie the others out of the way... i think that the plant waste energy on the big fan in flower so i get rid of them ... never to i take anything off during veg unless im topping or cloning

:stoned:

i will take some detailed pics of what i take off whens its time soo people can know what exactly im talking about

50/50? ...most likely the skunk pheno... would make sense coming from a club, it's the highest yielding.

The only fans I remove are those that touch the medium. If you want to eliminate small pop corn buds remove the lowest growing tips but leave the associated fan leaves attached. The leaves on the meristem are the largest on the plant and contribute the most to the plants total energy production. They don't waste energy, they produce much more than they use.

Remember... the leaves catch the light that generates the sugars, that powers the flowering, that produces the buds, that you want to smoke. So hang on too as many leaves as possible.

there are soooo many theories on taking leafs off or tucking them or letting them go its hard to say whats better for them... i have been experimenting with this throughout all my grows and compared plants.. yeilds and potency .. ive always gotten more yield with out lose of potency

here a good post ive read a couple times and it kinda explains everything

Trimming fan leaves a consensus part 1 - Marijuana Growing

heres good example .. these are my purples erkles i grew about a year ago and did 12/12 straight from seed.. one of them i took off all the main fans.. the plant was taller.. yielded more.. also it had alot more side shoots they produced nice sized buds.. where the other grew one main cola... but she took about 2 weeks longer to finish... of course this could all depend on strain..

[attachment=o234709]



the one on the furthest left is the ones i took the fans off of..
[attachment=o234710]

damn that seems to be good proof.. i think that i will have to try when i get cloning.. seems to be the only good way to tell to me..
but it would only seem like a good idea if you have the head room.
if you could answer one question bickey.. how much more weight did you get and how big was your main cola??
-MG

the ones i didnt trim were all around 28 grams + or - 1 or 2 and pretty much was all in the main cola.. where the one i trimmed was about 42 grams but the main cola was only like 4 or 5 grams... were the other the biggest main cola was around 20 grams...


how bout this i will take my biggest jack herer and my biggest super silver haze and not touch them at all.. besides continue to lst and tuck leaves and all the other i will do my normal thing .. and in the end i will see which ones yield more and if theres a difference in potency

ill do the same with the mendocino purps cross


:hippy::hippy::hippy:

everything is going a little better then expected..:jointsmile: .. i am pretty much out of room already and it is getting hard to work in there.. took me a little over an hour to water everything then clean up then work on the girl .. :wtf:

anyways hoping to only get 2 or 3 females from the grape apes mendocino purps



light just turning on for my babies
[attachment=o234803]


the grape apes mendocino purps.. looking to good
[attachment=o234804]



my ssh that i will not trim any fans from
[attachment=o234805]



lights at full blast... the back middle one is the jack im not touching
[attachment=o234806]




jack herer i forgot which one this is ... maybe the one im not touching i dunno
[attachment=o234807]

finally got my filter up


[attachment=o234808]

took down a small male last night and i am letting another one that is bigger and better grow out a little then ill take some pollen...

anyone know of a good way to get the pollen..?

i have heard of people cutting the plant and putting it in a cup of water.. then putting a mirror under the plant and letting the pollen drop on the mirror ..

sounds kinda messy .. i dont want to pollinate my whole crop


also any one know of a good way to set a drip system up.. hand watering is getting tedious.. i have always hand watered even in coco but ive never had this big of crop before..


anyways onto the pics



couldnt get more pics of the whole crop because my light started heating up and these weird lines fuck the picture up
[attachment=o235059]

[attachment=o235060]



the one on the left is a female (i think) the one on the right is my for sure male (also my best looking mendocino cross :mad:)
[attachment=o235061]

here are the super silver hazes

number 1 is the one im pulling fans from and number 2 is the one im not touching (but i did yank 2 fans off before i decided not to touch her)

also number 2 was way bigger from the start soo this should be interesting because 1 is catching up real quick

[attachment=o235067]

[attachment=o235068]

[attachment=o235069]

[attachment=o235070]

these ssh are going way to fast..

look at number 1 after 1 day :rastasmoke:

[attachment=o235161]

everything starting to really fill out..:rastasmoke:

i put the healthy male into its own little box where i could grab some pollen..

heres the nutes im using in flower

Hey Bicky. Nice Log you have here. I love lsting plants. I had a mutant bagseed that was fem I LSTed for a mother for clones and shes givin me 20+ strong clones and now I have no more room so shes getting massive with all the shoots. Have you ever thought of doing your own DIY DWC bubble cloner and doing a SOG with clones? Looking good, cant wait to see the buds.

... Ratings for this thread, Bub. :thumbsup:

a pic every day would be cool.. meant to do that but i guess :jointsmile: and ideas ='s spacyness.. lol

what going on enhanced?:jointsmile: nice to you join my grow!!!
i have loved the lst so far.. i can see a huge difference compared to my other grows.. :stoned:.. the yeild is going to be way higher!

ive thought about doing a bubble cloner but when i do clone i usually just do it the old fashion way... root hormones, rapid rooter, and a dome .. ive also almost bought the prebuilt ones from the shops but decided against it.. ill probably do it someday... as for the sog goes... it probably would of been a better idea for my grow area but i try to stay as close to my limit as possible .. i want to do a scrog with the ssh i think it would do awesome in that type of grow
