1st effort--Thoughts?

[Jungl3Jim]

yeah the halide's all I got at this stage but it is 4000K tho
I figured if anything, it would end up being better for flower than veg overall.
Its closer to 2700K than 6200/6700K.
To give the light its due credit.. i managed to root the 2 clones in with the mother as she's flowering on her 13on/11off schedule.
Only took 2 weeks.
I guess I'll take the bigger of the 2 clones out and get a few cfl's on 18/6 to get the new mom going til I can sort something out.

get that HPS as soon as you can and you will be very happy when flowering :jointsmile:

Yeah dude.. how true

Since my last post I've had to move house, and stressed the poor girl a bit transporting her in an air tight 44gal plastic drum.. not good.
She seems not to have noticed too much.

Another quick update.. I'll start a log next time round. :thumbsup:
33 days flowering
Not looking very bad at all.
Some pistils turning an orange/tan colour, about 5% at this stage.
Hard to see with my sh*tty camera, but she's got a cr@p load of trich's on her

COMMENTS ANYONE??

She's a looker allright. Good job:thumbsup:

your plant is looking beautiful. I myself have been tempted to raise a plant, and it's awesome to see her progress. please keep us updated!

Hey all.. Thanks for the interest so far.
Here's a few pics I took today.
Today makes 42 days flowering, this is a few close up's of a few of the colas
She's looking pretty good, but I'd love to know what she hails from.
any ideas by the look of her?
This is only 6 weeks, I have fed her the last of the nutes, plain water from here on out.
As always, hints, tips and criticisms welcome.
Cheers guys and gals
-Peace-

them buds are fattening up nice. L.S.T IS THE WAY TO GO.

First off.. I want to say a massive thank you to all who have checked this out and supported me over the last couple months. :thumbsup:

This will be my 2nd to last post in this here created thread..(except replies that is)
I have given her the chop.
I'll be posting twice as it's been two weeks and I have plans in action already that will covered in other topics.
In this thread.. I'll be showing what she was in week seven.
Check her out.. 42 days flowering 6 days ago
At this time.. 99% of the trichs had gone milky, and about 60-70% of the pistils had turned.. from what I've read.. from milky onwards, the more amber the trichs.. the more "couch-lock" you get.
Thats great for my spine and all med wise, and that's the point of all this, but I DO like to chuff every so often just to get HIGH.
(bear in mind, everything I've said and done in this grow is based solely on theory and the advice given by you FINE people, and if I've had any success, I like to say THANK YOU!!)

In the next phase which took place today, I'll start the next post

[Jungl3Jim]

Thanks again EVERYONE!!
Not just those who have responded, but also to those who have posted in the past and have added to my slim, but ever growing knowledge base.. AWESOME

This is her hanging.. mmmmmm

Ended up with 48g wet, so prob around 15-20g once she's dry in the next 3-7 days <-- is that right??
As I've said in previous posts, she's had a very hard life by me using her like a guinea pig, but she stood tall and took all the abuse(my cock-up's) I've thrown at her

anyway..as a couple of the pics show.. there's the herb hanging, but more importantly.. this is the new cabinet and fitting I've created for flowering.

With an angle grinder and the ever famous 'Kiwi Ingenuity'.. you have what you now see here
The fitting was originally 2 fittings housing 3 x 40W fluoro's each. So a total of 240W, (6x40W) Warm White Fluoro's for flowering planned. At 240w 2700K, they'd still have to be better than a 400Watt 4000K metal halide for flowering
I have also bought 2 x 900mm(3ft) rimu timber lengths with 5 x wall fittings on each. So another 10 x 23W CFL's will be added to the existing 6 x 40W tubes. Under this light in that much of area I'm hoping to flower up to 18 clones max, giving each 200mm(8in) square space to wrk with .. I need advice with this.

The hole in the wall is built into the house and sits above the pantry, but the opening is in my spare room upstairs if that makes sense.. couldn't be better
Its 1200mm(4ft)deep.. 600mm(2ft)wide and 1200mm(4ft)high and the fitting is made to suit. Its basically 2 inches smaller than the room all round.

Also as you can see in the pics I'm going the grow it "round the pot then flower" technique with one of the clones, and the other short one is getting the normal treatment to become a mother.

So... to cut a long story short.. watch out for a few more topics by me shortly.. covering the three plants you can see in the pic...
--LST "round the pot" method
--Revegging with bugger all leaf matter
--and growing a mother from a clone

I'm doing all this as trials to teach myself before I bother spashing out on seeds.
This makes a confirmed 8 weeks flowering cycle for this bagseed which has turned out to be rather fine imo. Pretty stoked actually

Anyways.. THANKS!! this is it.. watch out for me shortly
You have all made that much difference

-PEACE-
