sticky's 2011 Grow (2nd grow ever)

Well hello people its that time of the year and this is my 2nd grow.

Ok well im using some seeds i have saved since last year from the best buds that i got and smoked.

I only have 4 planted in med sized cups started them off
around march 15th they popped up about 2 days later and are growing very good so far i plan to pop about 6 more seeds so ill have 10 plants this year.

im not using MG soil this year umm im just using an off brand its called Expert gardener i just need to get some perlite.

now here is a pic

well they are loving the sun they have already doubled in size i will be taking weekly pics so no worries people.

also im germing 4 seeds right now i would have did 6 but i only have 4 cups dont want them to pop before i have something to plant them in.


also umm i was thinking about force flowering a couple not having them grow maybe a foot tall just to have some early buds

so yeah does anyone have any good tips on force flowering or any good way of going about doing it?

Well for anyone following its been raining and pretty chilly here the past week, today was the first sunny day so yeah the little ones are fine i have them in a window and on sunny days i put them outside to get the good sun. I also have one other seedling so now i have 5 im having trouble getting the seeds to germ i have not had probs in the past so i dont know if its the seeds or what i will just have to keep trying.

This cold front came in and im sick of it get warm already.

Anyways ill have pics up tomorrow sometime so no worries guys.

Sorry people i have been really busy and not able to take a pic of the babies but i have a little free time this morning and so i got a shot of them and now im going to post it.

I have 5 plants did have 6 but one of them fell of the thing i had them setting on outside the other day while it was good and sunny did not think the wind would start up so quick.

Well here is the pic i only took one pic well bacause they are not much to look right now also it is from a cell phone so the quality is not going to be really good.

anyone wanna have a guess if they are sativa or indica dom?

ah well guys they are looking great and growing like weeds haha im going to put them in the ground soon as i find a good spot haha i have not gave them any nutes yet by the way.

so yeah this site changed a lot not many people comment anymore i mean am i posting this for my heath.

anyways i have 4 plants right now one is just a seedling though i will germ a few more seeds and grow them out also wish me luck people hope they are all female.


here is the weekly pic update i would take more pics but not much to take pics of so until then this will have to do.

any ?'s advice or anything ?

Is that Expert gardener from Walmart? Looks like your girls are liking it. I read somewhere that they used a light proof box to force flower outdoors. Seems like a good idea but im just parroting haha.

ah yes its from wal-mart haha yeah they seem to like it but i did get a bit of nute burn a week or so back but no signs of it now the potting soil is good for 9 months but the nutes in it are in lower amounts than whats in MG soil i think i could be wrong though.

ah yeah i was thinking about using a card bord box or maybe a big grabage can

well time for an update today i put one in the ground so i hope everything goes well now i just need to find a few more spots for a few other plants i may keep 1 or 2 in pots here and force flower them.

i will get pics soon monday or tuesday.

well another quick update sorry for the low amount of pics but i will get plenty soon as the rain stops.

so far i have transplanted the 2 i had left still in the cups and they are looking like they love it last time i checked the one in the ground it is already out growing the others so when the rain stops i will get pics of them for you guys and gals.

oh and i gonna germ about 5 more seeds in about a week.

ok so i was wondering if i need to feed my plants a lil bit of veg nutes the soil i have has nutes in it says it good for 9 months but seems the NPK lvl's in it are low here they are if someone could tell me if they are to low and i should add nutes or if they are just right or what i would be very thankful thanx in advance.

N=0.07%
p=0.01%
k=0.03%

they seem a lil low to me but im still a noob lol some some help would be nice plz hehe.

First off the last pic looks great to be just under a month. Definitely have a very indica look but my guess is there is some sativa in there to. As far as the auto flowering thing, if you figure something out let me know because I want to try it with a couple plants. All I can say is if you use a box or whatever you use to decrease the light hours.. make sure the plant still gets air and can breath. As far as your NPK values I think you'll be good for a while.. as they get bigger and we head towards June you might want to supplement it with something else at low strength. No need to feed them anything if the plant isn't showing deficiency or abnormally stunted growth. Best way to tell what your plants need is to just observe them and they'll let you know. Good growing.. hope we all have a great season

Ah thanx man well i have good news today 2 out of the 3 have white hairs so im happy one is in a pot and the other is the one in the ground it has almost doubled in size in the last week compared to the other 2 that are in the pots.

the ones in the pots seem to be growing slowly since the transplant and i did not have a prob with stress after the trans plant into the bigger pots but even before i trans planted one of the plants the tops would turn like a yellow color but then it would clear up the next day or 2 and then come back again and then clear up any tips on what this could be?

also the 2 in pots are around 1 foot tall maybe give or take an inch or 2 the one in the ground is about 1 1/2 tall or more for some reason i dont think they are growing as fast as they should but it has been cloudy and rainy for the past week so not a lot of sun so this could be a reason.

thanx for the help MD i to hope we all have a really great season good luck

Ok guys here are some pics i have still not been able to get a pic of the one i have in the ground because i have it away from my house and i dont go and check on it often i will try and get a pic of it soon.

Oh and my cuz gave me 8 plants he had to move so he gave them to me it was his first time so they dont look great they are a bit stretched. So im going to see if i cant bring them around i may just go place them in the ground if they make it then good hehe but 4 of them are 1 week old seedlings so i will keep them here till they are a bit bigger.

1st pic is a shot of the 2 oldest plants the one on the left is female the one on the right has not shown sex yet.

2nd pic just a side shot of the 2.

3rd pic is of the one on the right.

4th pic is the left one the female.

5th pic trying to show the white hairs these are took with a cell phone so sorry for the poor pics.

i think they need some N anyone know if they need it or not?

Congrats on the girl. Looking good.....a little N deficient, keep on growing

Im watching bro. If ya have nutes in your soil that feeds for 9 months, i would not add anymore, you will burn em bro. I think you might re pot with fresh soil, which will give them fresh nutes from the new soil. They look ok, but maybe root bound a bit, which could be causing that yellow. But over watering would show that light green too and maybe more so before the root bound issue. Try letting them dry out and pull em out and check the roots, plus if ya dont have perlite in there and lots of holes in the bottom the leaves can get lime looking.

Otherwise they look great man. And id just flower a clone and not the whole plant to check sex. You could do it in a glass of water il bet to pop a pistil, just put it in 12/12 and you will see.


Good luck bro, il be watching!

Dude il bet a buck it burns your plants. I ran my first indoor grow that feed for 3, then 6 months without any nutes added and was very satisfied for my first indoor grow. I think it has to do with over watering, ya know its easy to do..........

But its on you man, let me know how she does man, im pullin for ya bro

ah thanx LSY its nice to see ya again well they cant be root bound i just re potted them like a week and a half ago as yo ucan see on the other pics they were in foam cups.

Damn i wish i would have came on here and checked the thread before giving them a dose of nutes ah man now im worried that they will get burnt. Well live and learn i guess i will keep my fingers crossed i still have time to start some more but those are the best looking plants i have grown so far i gave them a small dose 0.5 tsp.

Thanx for that sexing tip also i will try that when i top the one that has not shown its sex but the other 2 showed sex on there own i have not been force flowering but i did bring them in last week when it was raining all week maybe thats why.

well i will let ya know how things go wish me luck thanx again LSY!.

wooooot the forums back up.

ok well they are looking great no signs on nute burning so im glad i think my best looking plant in the white pot that has not show sex yet may be a male but to soon to tell it looks like it is forming balls but to small to tell i will know in a week or so hope its a female.

here are some pics and here is one that is a bit younger than the older ones i added in its from some diff baggseed

oh and all the rain killed the one i had in the ground so that sucks.

they look very healthy, keep up the good workk

Well guys time for an update with pics as you know my best looking plant turned male so he got the chop and the female got put into a bigger white pot, the smaller one in the cup from the last pics got transplanted into the butter pot.

Also the smaller one in the butter pot showed sex so its a female im happy haha.

The first 2 pics or of the older girl and the 3rd pic is of the younger girl i have a total of 8 plants 3 seedlings that just popped this week and some smaller badly stunted ones that a my cuz gave me.

ah haha ok shweet well i guess that is one way to look at it.

How long did you keep them in the styrofoam cups.. mine have been in there for 3 weeks and are working on their 5th nodes. I want to see how long I can go before transplanting

i kept them in the cups for about 5 or 6 weeks from the look of the roots at that time if i had left them in the cups for another 2 weeks they would be pretty root bound.

you can always just wait till the soil is dry enough and just turn it upside down and pull the cup off gently and check the roots to see how the roots look and if its ready to transplant.

OH yea I know how to check the roots. I was just wondering how long I could go before I have to transplant. It's been going on 4 weeks and the roots are looking healthy. I can see root slowly coming out of the holes I poked in the cups. I'll let them stay in there for a while so when I transplant them they'll just explode. I also wanted to SEX them before I transplanted them because I dont want to waste time with males but it might get severely root bound before they show pre flowers.. we shall see!

oh yeah ah long as they are not looking droppy and stuff like they are root bound you should be good i would not let them stay in the cups for no more than 2 weeks at the most maybe not even 2 weeks.

i think its only been maybe 3 weeks since i transplanted the female i have in the white bucket now and she is ready to go into a bigger pot i just dont have enough soil to fill the bigger pot right now so will have to wait till i pick some up.

yea I hate when the plants are letting you know they need a bigger pot, more soil, or something else but you dont have the resources to get it to them. I try to stay as far ahead of my plants as I can so when they need something Im already ready

ah yeah i do most of the time just the closest places to get soil were sold out its no biggie though lots of people around here have veggie gardens and such not many real bud growers though just a few and they are all old timers.

i trans planted the 2 females today the oldest into her final home and the youngest into the white pot, then one of the smaller stunted ones i wanna see if it grows faster now.

i will get pics soon.

@michaelpeg thanx for stopping by haha yeah i noticed not many people on here doing outdoor this year but im still here haha.

well people time for a bit of an up date i put the youngest female in the ground but have not had time to get pics of her yet.

i also gave the 2 stunted unknown sex plants to my younger cuz so he could grow his own so he does not have him and his little buddies snooping around here.

well i was going to post some pics but for some reason this website is being weird and i can only post and not add pics even the background on the site is messed up its just all white and looks like its halfass working

Im right here with yall on the outdoor tip I just havent started a post. So far its been the biggest year for me... just hope it keeps up. But yea.. right here with all my outdoor folks. From the last pics yours are looking great and looks like they are growing quickly. Its June now so these next couple months are crunch time.. the summer solstice is right around the corner.
