First Grow

[canniwhatsis]

Step away from the plants, and GO TO WORK!! :lol5:

How are those cuttings??

One of the nice things about my job is I'm actually allowed VACATION!!!:rastasmoke:


Step away from the plants!? Really? But the wife's houseplants have mites,.... that I need to squish/neem/generally abuse:chainsaw:


The cuttings: One of them rooted in about 6 day's, the other two didn't show signs of roots till today :wtf: :thumbsup: I'll keep them till I can see which one will best suit as a bonsai mom, then kill the other 2.

Yours?:hippy:

Ahhhhhh,..... vacation,....:jointsmile:

I got bored checking in on Diana with her being the only plant under the HPS,... and my garden veggies are growing well, so I've decided to clear up some space in my veg room.

First the larger of the two tomato plants got moved to the family room, which helped, but isn't gonna make room for 5 kinds of pepper!


The call was made to put Mom AKA Purple, into flower! :hippy:


After some pruning of twiggy growth and heavy undergrowth I've now got her SCROGED in the flowering booth under the 400w Plantmax HPS. It took about half an hour to train her branches and work the screen down to where I could staple it to the walls. Then I did a bit more pruning to assure good light penetration in a couple areas.

This should be fun to watch :rastasmoke: It'll either be a complete flop or utter success!

Pic 1: Purple trained under a 21x24" screen, Diana's top is in the foreground. I tried to get some pics of her under the HPS,... but failed AGAIN! I'll try and get some of her tomorrow under the MH since my camera is more forgiving in that light.

I'm definitely interested in what the yield will be
How long has your mother been in veg stage for?

A bit better than 2.5 months,... got her as a clone from the local dispensary on 4-14,... nearly killed her on the journey to get to this point, but have taken over 30 clones from her, (all either sold while I could do so legally, or since the laws changed on 7-1,.... destroyed ) and could have taken 40-50+ viable clones off of her before I started pruning tonight.


I'm just guessing here, but I think I'll have about 15-20 "Tops" leftover in this mess,... and just by looking at the sea of branches that have nodes in full exposure to the HPS I should yield a LOT of popcorn buds! :rastasmoke:


Fingers crossed that this will look like a carpet of buds with a few bigguns in it! :jointsmile:

New pics :jointsmile:


Pic 1: Diana;..... I've decided to harvest this one,... it's still a bit early,... but I just need the room in the flowering area..... so wednesday night she gets cut. :rastasmoke:
Pic 2: Diana, and her replacement,... "Prim" who's been in Veg for as long as Diana's been in bloom!


This should be fun to watch!
Pic 3: MOM AKA Purple SCROG'd out! :rasta: I'll need to thin her but technically tracking this one thru blossom is finishing off my "First" grow, inspite of the harvest of two clones taken off of her! :hippy: :rastasmoke:

They won't be popcorn buds for long!

[canniwhatsis]

They won't be popcorn buds for long!

Gods I hope not!!!!! :rastasmoke: :stoned:








Diana came down tonight at only 6.5 weeks in order to make room in the flowering room for Prim, who's currently under darkness. (I'll track her progress,... and will post a new thread when it's ready to post )

Harvest was a bit early, but as far as I can tell 100% cloudy, and pistles were dying back so down she comes!:jointsmile:

I didn't expect a high yield on my first grow, and sure didn't get it off of Gia!

Diana could have been better if I could have waited, but 31g wet is a good deal better than I was expecting!

We are gonna do a quick dry/cure, I'm sure the smoke will be a bit harsh, but it already smells so much better than the buds off of Gia! :rastasmoke:



Pic 1: All of Diana,
Pic 2: Just Diana's top
Pic 3: One of the lower buds showing nice frosting :jointsmile:
Pic 4: All trimmed up against the wife's forearm
Pic 5: Trimmed harvest, standard Bic in there for sizing.... 31g wet :smokin:

Of course, our guard cat didn't think that harvest and manicuring was all that interesting,... so I just HAD to wake him up! :rasta:

[canniwhatsis]

After just a day of drying the buds have lost a LOT of weight, and the harvest isn't near as impressive,.... Should still smoke the wife out for a while, but it's not what I wanted.


Overall My first shot at this has been a real eye opener, and a great learning experience! :thumbsup:



I'll post up some more in this log just to finish out the Outdoor grow, but I'm not gonna track the indoor stuff from here out. (Too F'n much work takin pics and posting, specially considering my work hours, and the fact that the site is down from 11pm-11:45/12a locally. )

as long as you look at it this way, its always a success. it took me a couple grows before i was happy enough with the results, and im still improving my yeild.

Should still smoke the wife out for a while, but it's not what I wanted.
