First Grow Log w/Pics

And this is B

Better known to my wife as The Beast

I really hope it doesn't grow a penis and let me down :jointsmile:

That plant would be perfect for SCROG if it's a girl. The others could be bent over gently, but boy's can be hard to untangle.


Can you get a macro shot of some nodes, I swear I see a pre-flower in there, but the focus isn't great when you zoom all the way in.

canniwhatsis Reviewed by canniwhatsis on 10-26-2010. First Grow Log w/Pics I've tried to grow a few times when I was younger but it never worked out, I also used the cheapest stuff I could find and didn't even bother to try and learn anything about it. So this is my first real attempt. I've spent a lot of time reading and learning what I need to know. Now with that being said, I'm a retard, I didn't realize males were basically useless and since I only had one plant going I decided to plant two more. The first plant is only on day 8 so I figure the other two being Rating: 5

I SSSSOOOOOOOO wanna SCROG but not willing to do so since I dont know their sex. I clipped fans to let light in earlier and seeing this result in B I will deff go this route next go around with some clones. I may even kinda super clip it to totally eliminate a true main branch, IDK the tech name for it...

I'll get em up asap

Pic 1: Trunk - The two empty nodes are where I took my clones.

Pic 2: Stem - Close up of what I think you're talking about.

Pic 3: Stem - Diff stem, this whole plant is like this.

Are these pics what you wanted?

Is there a prob?

Dayum, the 3rd pic is perfect just slightly out of focus,.... it's still a bit early to tell, but there's a little nub that I see there that is a pre-flower.

SHE *fingers crossed* Just needs another week or so and we should be able to tell for sure.

[Slevinkal]

Better pics now that I know exactly what you're trying to see.

There is at least 10 nodes with something showing

BTW, is preflowers showing a good sign, bad sign, or nothing?

[canniwhatsis]

Nothing really,... just means the plant is mature enough to flower......


So to are your clones, (as soon as they have roots )

Here's my plan with my seedlings, I'm going to try and sex them off of the pre-flowers on the plant,... but I'm also going to take some cuttings, as soon as they are rooted I will kick one from each plant to flower.

It's stressfull, And I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass! But I have done a few rooted straight out of the cloner grows now, never for much yield but only had problems with the GDP, which was hermi anyway. But Heck, if it weeds out the males and exposes the Hermies I'm good with it!

[Slevinkal]

The clones have popped roots and I am now in day 2 of flower. I expect either A or B to prove male so I plan on leaving the clones in the small DWC they're in now. If both are fem then I'm going to get a larger DWC to move them all into until harvest.

The preflowers on B are getting bigger but still have not devo'd enough to tell anything with a 4x magnifying glass. I know only two days into flower and need more time to tell fo sho but I excised one and slapped it under a 100x/200x/450x microscope and checked it out, did so with a small leave clip from the same plant too.

I've been noticing a slight dusty look on them for a while now but its gotten more pronounced in the past two days. Under 200x mag its a massive sea of tiny and underdeveloped trichs jammed together like passengers on a subway car.

The preflower was orb with roughly 100 or more tiny white hairs growing from it. Most of the hairs were huddle into one spot all growing the same direction and the other hairs around the sides of the orb were sparse and growing towards the more dense area.

Any of that mean anything to anyone? LOL

Pics from two days earlier, right before I switched to 12/12. A has hit a growing spurt since and B has just freaked out and is shooting up in all directions, its stems have now reached higher that its two cola stems and everything is bushier. I've already had to move my lights up roughly 3 inches in the five days prior to flower, I raised them another inch yesterday and then again today because plant B's entire canopy was pushing against the lights!

[canniwhatsis]

:wtf:


I'm a bit confused,.... who's in flower? All of them? Just the big ones? Just the clones?

where's the "Vege" area?

[Slevinkal]

LOL Sorry

All plants are in flower now. I know I should wait longer for the clones to get more roots but I dont have the space for an area for veg and another area for flower.

I would like to let the clones veg longer but they are in the same cabinet as the other three plants and I cant wait any longer before forcing flower. Plant B is already to wide for the box, since I pruned the fans off and let the stems branch/bush out the plant has a box shaped canopy thats against the back wall and the back of the doors when closed.

I kinda screwed myself by taking clones so late with out having dedicated clone/veg/flower areas. Before harvest I will have another area I can keep clones in. I'll have to take them 3-4 weeks before harvest so that they wont outgrow the new clone space before I harvest my main cabinet and free that area again.

These are my plans anyways but I still gotta figure out where/when/how/what I'm going to build or buy or modify for a clone box that'll support and reveg 3-4 clones for a month while being as small as possible.

Noting how plant B turned out from the fan leaf pruning I plan on only growing two to three plants using scrog in the same cabinet Im using now. Clipping clones a month before harvest and reveg them for a month in the clone box, move them to the grow cabinet after its clear and veg them for another month or so then flower/clone/continue...

[canniwhatsis]

After a month your "Clones" will look like this before you cut them!




Pull the clones out and set them under a couple CFL's or something while the cabinet finishes off.

It's going to take some work to set up a 2nd area for vege, but the later into flower you wait to take clones the harder it will be for them to root, and the more stressful the whole event will be.
