2 weeks until harvest...

[Nochowderforyou]

hey,

So, she is cut and drying as I type this. I smoked a small test bud this morning...put a smile on my face Good and potent. I couldn't be happier right now.

I started some new seeds a few days ago. I think I'm going to grow Manatuska Thunderfuck next, but, I had some very old seeds that belonged to my father, that he produced in 1974. I decided, said fuck it, and threw in about a dozen or so seeds to germinate, to see if anything would come of it. I was VERY suprised to find that 2 seeds had popped before the Manatuska even did I got seeds, from 1974, to pop, and if all goes well, I'm going to plant a few in soil, and if they sprout through the soil, I'm going to grow them out!

I'm very pumped on this one. If I can get seeds and MJ originally from '74, I', going to be very happy and I will keep the strain going. I'll have, some "classic" weed.

Peace and thanks for the replies. imp:

Thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated friend!

So far, the seeds from '74, started out good, with a small white tail, but have seemed to stop there. I'm ready to toss the Manatuska seed in soil and I'll toss in a few "Classic" seeds in a few pots to go with it. If I see the Classic pop in time before the Manatuska, I'm definatly going to grow some old school shit! Hell ya! :dance:

Well, errr...thanks!

I did that by a simple method called topping. I'm sure I've explained here already, but all it is, is a simple cut on the emerging growth shoots. You cut off about 75% of the top, leaving about 25%$ of the bare stem in tact. What this does is it gives the incoming energy to the side shoots, giving it its full growing potential. As well, it splits the one main top, into 2 main tops, so instead of having one main cola, I got 2 main colas, easily increasing yeild, while saving on height space as well.

Give it a try. I have tripled my yeild from last time just by doing this.

Yes, you could do this with a 150W CFL light easily. I started using 65W CFL for veg., and 105W of CFL for flowering, and I still got satisfying results.

All I suggest is, if you're going to use the 150 bulb for flowering, use about 100W for vegging. You want to give your plant a nice boost in light during flowering. If you use the same wattage for veg. that you do for flower, things will move very slowly, and yeild and potency will be medium quality.

Thanks all, peace :rasta:

O K nochowder, Thanks again. I've been wondering about all the light stuff (never grown before). I will use the cfl's and do like u said. Thanks again for all the great info.

btw I can't leave out the info I got from trichome, mand, and others.

High all,

So, the plant has been harvested, dried, and is now curing

Final weight of this plant was 21.3grams. I test smoked some of it, it is a very smooth smoke, wonderful, fruity flavour to it, and is quite potent...probably more potent than the WW I grew awhile back, which I swore was the best I produced yet...well, we have a new winner.

Sugar Me Timbers!

I will post pic on Wed. as my cam isn't back yet. The smell, has slight skunk undertones and is really resin laden.

I'm thinking of trading off some of these seeds, so if anyone has Rockbud out there, !*please*! let me know. I had this the very first time I grew, and I handed my last 10 off to my grow teacher, who in the end, got busted, lost the seeds, and now they are in the hands of the RCMP So if anyone has this strain, please let me know.

The seeds from '74, didn't make it I was so pumped at first that I got a few of em to pop. But, that's as far as they went, as the root blackened and died.

BUT, I have a Manatuska Thunderfuck popped through soil already, so it's on its way.

I'll post in weeks to come, when the ball starts rolling. Peace

lol, 74 that is pretty cool. The weed probably wont be that great as its like 100 times more strong these days but keep the strain going and try it out you never know. good luck and well done on the last crop.
