What's up guys, I currently have a 2-month old plant growing which is about to go outdoors! The genetics are only the best, Sour Bubble BX3 breed by BOG himself
This grow has been very shaky, as I started on a fling as a minigrow for fun. I didn't expect much, because right now I am running on very limited recources with not much security either.. The first couple weeks of growth were slow in the growbox, planting the germinated SB seed in a small pot of light potting soil with perlite that has already been grown in.. Only under 15watts of CFL. The plant stretched a little bit but remained bushy as I bent the stem to over to train it. A few leaves would yellow..
... Than I added another 15watt light (30w CFL total), and watered with a very low ammount of urine for nitrogen to help the yellowing leaf problem. New healthy shoots and nodes sprouted from the plant, and she began to grow taller and bushier.. Here's a thread on her with video and pictures at about one month old >> http://forum.grasscity.com/showthread.php?t=94267
But after a couple weeks, she began to outgrow the 30watts of CFL light in the grow box. I should have transplanted into a bigger pot with more nutrients or something by now, but I had thoughts of flowering her early to get a small harvest. But I ended up moving my SourBubble plant to my windowsill with plans to go outdoors soon.
... Now my plant is almost 2-months old from sprout. I have been watering with straight water for over 2 weeks because I have procrastinating on transplanting her outdoors.. The top branches of the SB plant stretched alot, but healthy new shoots and leaf sets are sprouting out the top, and for some reason the stem reeks like a musky pine!! The top nodes of the plant are actually the biggest healthiest green leaves on the plant, with 11-bladed leaves!
The bottom of the plant doesn't look as good, but hasn't stretched and is a lot bushier than the top. Their are a some yellow/brown leaves in this section, and a few leaves have been plucked also.. But the bottom of my SourBubble has branches with as many as 6 individual nodes! I topped a healthy new node on one branch a week ago, and 4 extra leaf sets are sprouting already!
Since being put in the windowsill, the plant has stretched alot, but lots of healthy leaf sets have developed. It's hard to tell, but I think their may be female shoots sprouting on some of the nodes!! I had her outside in her tiny pot for the past few days while on vacation, and she bushed out a bit more, but I spotted a few tiny brown tics with what appeared like tiny cotton balls on the ends of the bugs..
But today is the day!! I'm am going now to go find a good spot to dig a nice hole in. I plan on digging a hole about a foot deep in a bushy enclosed area, where the greatest hours of sunlight are received in the morning (I heard this sunlight is the strongest?). The hole will be filled with a soil mix very similar to BOG's old method - about a gallon of light potting-soil w/ just a few pinches of equal ammounts of blood meal and bone meal, but I added some perlite and worm castings also. I'm plan on maybe topping my SourBubble plant a few times, maybe even tying her down or something..
But I need A LOT of advice here guys!! What am I going to do about those bugs and problems like that?? I have coyote urine to keep the deer nowhere in sight, but slugs are a HUGE problem arround here. I am at just about 43degrees North.. Any advice would be great guys!!
Here's a few pics of my plant in the window just before the big transplant outdoors!! First a full SourBubble pic, than the top half and lastly, the bottom section of the plant.. Sorry about the shitty cellphone pics, I'll get my digicam for when she's outside!
