Closet growing thread.

..........Sun of a bitch it just dawned on me. its a huge fucking plant.

ya know what. DUH the nute burn. -GOD- im an idiot shes prolly friggin rootbound. a 5 gallon bucket is not unheard of.

is there a smily for kicking one's self in the ass?

:asskick:

close enough. im stoned and going smiliey crazy. but duh thinking outloud afterall this is kinda like a journal right? i ramble stoned to this thing all the time. but well honestly no wonder i couldnt do anything. the yellowing, classic. i mistook it for nitrogen... not too late. home depot to the rescue!!

The damage had been done and it began to compromise the buds so there she is. You can see how ugly she got...

However after manicure, for the most part... Beautiful. Excellent yeild. Decent quality. Only very few yellow leaves made their way as far as the bud itself. A few area not at all. 2 very full lids of buds and a third lid of smoke (bud pre removed from stem and pre chopped -- dries quicker and 0 stems... ready to smoke in a day or two minus cure)

Largest bud. Wet weight: 1 1/2 oz (still wet)

Overall: bhb420 = happy :jointsmile:

Lets get this thread rollin yet again :greenthumb:

Nice dude cant wait to see how your papaya turns out i am currently germing some right now! Im probably going to be about 2 weeks behind you i think?! Anyway i germed 8 and my rockwool hasnt showed up yet so i guess these will have to go into soil. I currently have 5 in soil and waiting for the other 3 to pop!

(pic1) Update time! And this strain is definatly indica. The leaves on these papaya are without a doubt the fattest most luciously plump blades i've grown yet. So as you can see they are looking nice and passing out of the seedling stage into vegative growth. Bottom leaves are starting to curl ever so slightly and i pick up the cup

.... (pic 2) and gotta love clear containers!!! Its time to transplant!

This is a technique i've just developed over time which makes transplanting simple. (pic3) Take your new containers and fill them w/ soil. Place a container the same size as the original container and compact soil fairly tightly around the container. From germ/seedling -> veg I usually leave a spare cup in the dirt as a placeholder so to speak.

This allows transplant to be done with minmal ease. Now in (pic 4) as you can see I've simply gathered everything to one convient location and am able to setup the closet before transplanting.

(pic 5) I tap out the plants with one hand and hold upside down, stem between my fingers... and with the other hand i remove the cup, plop, almost done!

--continued from prior--

This is much better sen in pic 6, as is the nice root ball! Now having a root ball isnt bad, being root bound on the other hand, different story!

(pic 7) plants have been watered, soil has been pressed firmly down and evened out and here's looking down over the top "lid" or "flap"

Backing up................... (pic 8)

..... and in pic 9 our closet is closed ... and not so innocent anymore :wtf::thumbsup::wtf::thumbsup:

Really? The --ONLY-- bad experience I had from nirvana was with bigbud and thats because 8 of 10 seeds didnt germinate and I never have problems germinating so I dunno?!? As far as the lightning I stagger and add light as the plants need it. Also is easier on the electric bill -- no point running everything when I can still maximise growth on less wattage They usually start on 1 48 watt cfl and I add from there. Currently they're under 2 48 watt and 2 26 watt cfl daylights which is yeah about equivilant to my 150 but less lumens and different spectrum light. For flower yes, in prior grows I was using 1 sole 150w HPS, but I purchased a 250w HPS as well which again, allows me to stagger lighting patterns. Ultimately, with both the 150 and 250 running that is the ewquivilant of 400 watts and is ~16k lumen off the 150 and ~29k lumen off the 250 which totals ~35k lumen with both lights running (5k lumen loss over a 400 watt fixture but in my opinion the versitility and adaptability is worth the tradeoff). On nirvana's papays, breeder spec is 7-8 weeks flowering. GL w/ your grow :thumbsup:
