Orangeman's 1st log!

[orangeman]

just reading through your thread orangeman and these are the humidity reading.
0-25 very dry
25-50 dry
50-75 normal
75-100 humid
hope this helps you out with the humidity, also a dehumidifier will dry your entire grow out to the point of no come back so be careful using it. nice looking plants :thumbsup:

Damn Mobay that helped out a lot, I had an idea of the ranges but that helped more lol. And yes it is my first grow and what do you mean it can dry my entire grow out to the point of no coming back lol? Btw I think I'm going to need the dehumidifier during harvesting because I'm pretty sure in that little closet a lot of humidity will come out of it. And thanks. I'll post pictures of how they look today. I am certain I have a male so I might be doing some chopping tonight. I think the other 2 are females. If not both then I know at least one of them is a female.

[go toke up]

i wanna see more pics dude

Results are in. One was a full blown male, I chopped it down immediately. Not as easy as I thought, I actually hesitated to cut it. Male or not I hate to see my plant go, I love them all equally. Anyways I took it down and I was excited because I know I have one female, the pistils are showing! I think the other one is a female also but it's really slow to develop because it always has been the slowest growing one. Hopefully it's a female, I really wouldn't care what it is because I still have ONE female. I think I touched the branches too hard and some red stuff came out and I wiped it off.

I didn't mean to, I forgot that stuff might come out if you touch it too hard because the males branches left my hands sticky from all that stuff oozing out. When I left and came back the whole basement smelled like a lot of plants lol. You can tell some plants had been handled down there, I hate to think what harvest day will smell like :-/. I looked at the bottom of the female and I really hope those things down there are just slow developing female flowers because as of right now they look like pollen sacs. I hope this one isn't a hermie. If it is can't I just cut the branch down that holds the male flowers? I'm just excited I have pistils. I can't wait to see how they grow in the coming days . I couldn't post the pics that I took of me killing my male plant, it was too horrible..I just deleted those pics . Also I smoked a few mins ago to celebrate me female. :rastasmoke:

looks good man, glad to see they're doing okay :thumbsup:

[Shovelhandle]

Very nice photos of your plants, O-man. : )

I'm a little forgetful, could you please add some of your pertinant information on the grow once in a while?
some things like variety (bagseed, I think?), how many weeks have they been growing, nutrients, and lights.

Thank you, Bub!

It's a bag seed
Lights are 250w but I am using a 270w Son Angro bulb. At least I think it is, might just be something to get my money lol. They have been growing for 8 weeks but flowering for 2 weeks. I only gave them a little bit of nutes the day I watered them when they were flowering with some FloraNova Bloom. Probably gonna give them 1/2 tsp within the next 3 waterings.

Yo man i could be wrong but i once watched a movie called "ready set grow" and they said not to add anything into the soil when your flowering. no nutrients or anything like that just feed it water. I could be wrong but its what i can recall,anyway just trying to help, and plants are lookin good. :thumbsup:

wow, you're entirely wrong...lol nutrients are essential to the plant, especially during flowering..:thumbsup:

No need to overreact like that to everything, no need to use that pesticide either and no need to use a dehumidifier, forget about humidity altogether. Focus on getting the plant through bloom to harvest that's all you need to think about right now. Your soil conditions look ok but I don't recall how rich the soil is so I can't say whether you need to start with the PK nutrients seeing as you flipped over to 12/12 recently. Not all bugs are bad.

I'm sorry but I can't do that. I'm pretty sure I'm positive about everything I'm doing and humidity is in fact something I have to worry about. I'm not trying to get molded bud here and before I had the dehumidifier in the room the humidity was damn near 70%. And I overreacted about most things because, well if you read the thread title that'd be enough to let you know it's my first log. I'm learning and I'm trying to perfect what I do, I never do something half-assed so I want to become just as experienced as I am with growing as with the knowledge I have about it. Soil is alright, and the bugs that have found interest in my plants are bad and I'm sorry but I am going to continue to use the pesticide because it does exactly what I need, which is to kill those damn spider mites and stop them from eating away at my plants. I haven't even used the pesticide for weeks, I only spray them when I see those damn bugs on them.

Oh btw I confirmed the sex of the second plant. They both are females and I'm happy . I can't wait to see how they look within the coming weeks. I love seeing new flowers and seeing the flowers grow more and more . Also last night I finally said fuck it and I put together my fan with that plug and the fan works for my odor neutralizers. I've only read about it and I never used it so I don't know how well it's gonna work but I'll be sure to let everyone know. Next time I'm going to try and grow 4 plants. I considered my self lucky this time to get 2 females. I could have had bad ass luck and ended up having 3 males lol. That'd suck.
