California Orange Bud CFL grow

[syde00]

enhanced - haha shit, i remembered to measure the plants, but i almost forgot to post it lol... i totally went off reading some completely unrelated stuff and just remembered... the FIM'd plant i now standing at 25" tall, the other to are 31".

I killed the hermie a week or so ago... but when i killed it, it was about 36" tall.

the hermie was looking in really really sad shape and i didn;t care about it enough to try and figure it out, but i suspect it was a pH problem

[syde00]

syde, put something under your plants to raise them up. that's what i do.

hahaha wow... you have no idea how stupid i feel right now for having not thought of that... hahaha thanks shake!

[headshake]

no worries my friend. lol.

it's kinda a pain in the ass, but it's worth it.

[syde00]

ssssoooo much better!! shake... you are the man! i don;t know how i didn;t think of that... the funny thing is, I have done exactly this already with the clones upstairs (prep'ing a couple mothers for the next grow that I'm going to use to make clones for a SoG grow next round I think).

Its amazing how I sometimes overlook the most obvious solution lol

the one on the close-right is the one i put something under.


edit: damnit, i tried to rep you, but silly boards are making me spread it around some more first!

[headshake]

lol. you just needed a reminder.

the ladies look amazing by the way!

Woooo.:stoned::stoned:

Starting to ripen up man!!

Can't wait to see all the orange hairs and furry buds. The odor and thickness of the calyxes will increase plenty more in the next week or two. :jointsmile:

They look damn great. :greenthumb:

Were these feminized seeds? I would be very curious to see a comparison of the males and females in veg but you didn't have any males except the hermie.

[syde00]

Nope, they are not from feminized seeds, I did have a 5th plant early on, but it had a pretty short life from a light falling on it and me not noticing for a couple hours :\ it had just barely popped out of the ground and was starting on its first true leaves when it happened, so I don;t think that'd be of much use

i did read your thread (i think it was yours) about having male plants that were very bushy and fem plants that were much taller though, seems very interesting, considering I think there was 7 plants? seems like too big of a coincidence in this case to not be linked to the sex gene somehow. would be really interesting to see if that characteristic would continue if you breeded them.

[JD1stTimer]

That would be interesting but since I don't know the strain I probably can't get any males again. I just couldn't think of a good place or want to expend the effort to keep males alive. So if I ever decide to make seeds they will all be feminized. The reason I'm thinking about the possibility of Cali Orange Bud genetics is that this page: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/archive/i.../t-207224.html has the only reference I could find on this phenomenon via google. Here's the quote:

Out of the 10 Orange bud seeds 9 sprouted, ended up with 4 females, the most of them were males unfortunately, too bad the males looked better as the females did, weird thing is that 3 of the females are pretty tall and lanky, while ALL of the males are extremely short and branchy. Usually it's the other way around.. Anyways, got the 1 short female right below, pretty tight internodal branching, definitely gonna make some seeds with her.

interesting! as much as i don;t want to say its too bad i didn;t get a male... well... for the sake of the experiment, its too bad i didn;t get a male lol.

I do have 5 more seeds, I'll have to try and remember to keep an eye out for that when I use them... not sure when that will be though, I'm hoping to do a SoG setup next round that i'll use clones from this grow as mothers for the SoG.
