Hey man,
A yes to the molasses. It wont hurt, and it is organic. May not work as good for the one with a week left as good as it will work with those that have a bit longer. I have seen and heard that people use it the whole way. It will add a little bit of weight, and sweeten up them buds....Check out 3LB's molasses thread

Good luck to you bro. And the Band name....lol good one!!

Here are a couple links for molasses and organic ....

Organics for beginners

A little bit of reading for you, kick back, burn a fat one, and read, read, read...then come back tomorrow and read some more...lol...

Take care bro, and stay safe....

P.S. 5th page for me (I set it to 40/pg) so I had to be seen on this page too....lol that is the old stage monger, attention seeker in me. Poor trait to have round these parts, eh?

 

[khaleel]

hey hey outstanding, beard!

great information, was a hell of a read. i have already bought the molasses to start tomorrow , but i must admit i am a little intimidated by the craziness of organic mixes: blood meal, earthworm castings, liquid seaweed, bat shit, cat shit, eye of newt, witches titty... feels like i'm casting a spell on the bitches or something. lol i'm sure it won't be long before i'm elbow-deep in frog-vomit and loving every second of it.

day 55 already. a couple more days, probably just one more watering, with a small bit of molasses, tomorrow then a 48-72 hour dry-out in a dark closet, and this girl is coming down:



she's not the biggest but looks the most mature... still only a small percentage of amber trichs, but also very little clear. should work while the others ripen up. just cant justify spending another $100 on a sack of weed that will only last three days because it is weak-side! haha

and here are a few of the others ripening up:



don't know what's up with that helicopter bud in the back. long, leafy growth in the bud. just started a couple weeks ago. think it was probably the additional grow fert i was including in bloom to catch up the nit. def., but of course i must have overcompensated. nutes have been cut back to normal levels, and the grow fert has been taken out completely. let me know if any of you have seen this before please.

and here's Suuuuuper Ice with three weeks still to go



love to all.

Brother I'm sorry i caught onto this one late, but rest assure I read through the entire thread.

I must admit these are some great looking plants. I just started a new run that are currently in veg, I only hope they come out as sweet looking as those buds.

Hey man, not a problem at all. When I can I try to help as much as possible. Hope it all works for you. I look forward to it!!!

That organic brew you thought up is quite funny, and I actually laughed out loud ...lol Let me know how it works for you...

It is that witches titty that I can always get close to but never quite get it to take home, bitch always says "WTF, now I am bleeding.....Get the Fuk out!!!" Damn, better luck next time.... The eye of newt is actually pretty easy, you just have to find a reptile store, I thought I would save you the time of setting some newt snares, I know how you think...lol Not sure about the frog vomit, but let me know.

Having fun is what it is all about, keep it up man. You are rocking this thread now man.....Great work!!

Stay safe now, and keep it green.....

[khaleel]

LMAO yup beard, they know if they let us start taking their tits home, there wouldn't be much reason to hang out with the rest.

jk, any ladies out there.

 

[NZjay]

tasty, as expected keep it up, beard is giving you some good advice...

any....er.. accidents of limbs falling off for no apparent reason?

MUST.........WAIT.....

 

[Cannabeard]

Thanks NZjay, I try.

they know if they let us start taking their tits home, there wouldn't be much reason to hang out with the rest.

Now that is the truth, and funny too....lol

Stay safe all, and keep it green.....

ok i made some tobacco juice (thx goyakla), sprayed em down heavy with a super fine mist. i even took one little bastard to my coffee table, sprayed him, and watched like a vengeful roman god under the 100x scope while he drew his last breath. it was satisfying, watching him die... lol hopefully they all kick it.

HAHAHAHA

Dude I love the thread, killer job first grow? AMAZING with flouros I just can't believe your getting those type of fat nugs. Great air quality huh? Must be a fantastic temp to have your T-5 so close. Great Work!!!

Spider mites....I have been there done that, been given clones that had them as well and I was PISSED. Sounds like you handled it the way I would have, spend hours(literally) with my plants until I have picked every single spider mite off. Works well if you are just in the beginning mite stages. Check it out, black spider mites are new and you can fight them off well. If the mites have turned a redish amber color, then the mother has gone into hibernation and even if you kill all of them shell come back later. Take care of your soil as well when you have mites, I'm sure sure how to deal with the eggs but they lay them in the soil. Seriously gay. I also remember hearing that they are born with eggs on them haha that is super bad news and this is why mites are the worst IMO.

I have had thrips as well, and they are easier to kill off same thing though just squishing them with your fingers works and they don't multiply as fast.

Hope this helps, kick your friend in the ass who gifted those to you, dumb ass I can't believe people don't know they have mites....This is gotta be the worst thing I've heard and I hear it a lot. "thanks for the mites not the clone really" haha.

Do you have photo shop or any picture editing programs? You could get your pictures looking way better if you cropped them, meaning edit out that empty space around your nug shots....They will become larger when you see them on the net too making them closer.

one last thing bro, flushing. Flushing is something you really want to have down and know all about because your buds really won't be top notch without flushing. You should have started flushing at 45 days probably to get a full two week flush. You need to get all the built up salts that the nutrients have been adding to the soil that whole time out of the soil and out of the plant. A few days flushing will not get rid of anything. You WANT the fan leaves to be yellow and dying/falling off by themselves by the end of the grow this ensures that the plant has taken all the nutrients it has left out of the leaves and put them into the buds for the last growing effort. Check this picture out of my last grow, flushed to perfection dude




I do have to say your buds look great and just as fat as mine, but get those leaves yellow and flushed! PEACE MAN!

 

[khaleel]

caligreen: thanks for all the info and the compliments too, my friend. much

oh the spider mites. i picked em off, sprayed em, spent all kinds of time deliberating what to do, then just scrapped the veg room (six young plants - thankfully had the clones five feet above the rest) and started over. haven't seen any signs since (knock on wood), so hopefully the sacrifice was worth it.

i started a flush earlier this week. on day six of flush now, i think. btw those plants of yours look amazing! i had a nit def scare along the way with these first ones, i think i overcompensated a bit that's why they are taking more time turning yellow. but hopefully those leaves will start giving up nutes quick.

a friend here on icmag said that floro's take a week or two longer to mature, and i think he's right. i've got some buds on day 57 now that still have a good deal of new pistols coming up every day... trichs are starting to get cloudy, but even this late very few of them are amber. i am pulling the most mature one on monday, probably, by the time it dries i should have a decent sample and decide how long to let the others go. i just don't want to chop early then have immature bud. would suck after all this work and waiting. haha

i'll try out the photo shop thing... maybe i'll get it down in time for harvest pics.

and yep, its my first grow. haha my temps are from 72-79 deg, right at the tops of the plants. the t5's are usually about three inches away, and i do have pretty decent airflow for sure. helps keep 'em happy.

thanks again for stopping by, hope you stick around to the end!

sirsmokealot, sharppain: hey sorry i missed you guys! welcome aboard and thanks for the kind words.

almost to the end, can't wait to hit some cured super ice

 

[PoppinFresh]

two days you say... make sure you burden yourself with MANY MANY MANY pics LOL

 

[khaleel]

two days you say... make sure you burden yourself with MANY MANY MANY pics LOL

hey poppin, only ONE is coming down tonight, the others are staying up for another week or so, depending on how fast the trichs start turning amber. but i'll take a shitload of pics anyway. lol they are flushing with molasses right now, so i can pull them fairly quickly when they get where i want. who knows, they might be there right now. i'll find out what the milky trich high does after this one dries.

and here she is, coming down tonight:



and the rest of 'em just about ready:



here's some with a few weeks to go yet:





that's it for now! can't believe just a few more days and i'll get to smoke the fruits of my labor

 

[PoppinFresh]

i feel an evil laugh comin on lol.

 

[khaleel]

BWAHAHAWAHAHAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Say goodbye my bushy love... thy eternal summer shall not fade, nor lose possession of the fair thou own'st. nor shall death brag thou wanderst in his shade, when in eternal lines to time thou grow'st. as long as me can breathe and eyes can see, so long lives this - and this gives life to thee...

fuk. i had pictures and stuff. but since the upload will probably be down the rest of the night, i wanted to give a right and proper memorial to my first harvested plant, and in a timely manner. so here's to you, miss Super Ice. a moment of silence and gratitude... ... ...

can't wait to give the smoke report. had to come down a bit early, so might not be flushed all the way but the trichs are good and milky so we'll see. take it easy peeps.

 

[Guest]

Awesome grow! Especially for a first timer. This is why I want to grow some marijuana bushes!!!!

 

[khaleel]

hey thanks bisco420! welcome aboard, just in time.

well guys, still no chance of uploading pics. buuut, i have an early smoke report.

the only dry buds, after one and a half days hanging, were the two bottom-dwellers. together they weighed almost .2 grams! haha

Super Ice analysis: firstly keep in mind this is off a plant that had heavy water damage resulting in nitrogen and magnesium deficiencies, which led to rookie me overcompensating / over-feeding during week four and five of bloom. for whatever its worth just keep in mind the rest will be better at least in theory. ok enough bullshit. on to the report.

hmm. put it in the grinder, could tell it was still pretty wet from the texture of the resistance on the grind... smelled fantastic without a doubt. looked good. on to the flame. no sweets without fire. (old arabic proverb... "la hell-o-wa bedoon narr")

ok i know now why you flush a full two weeks. [cough] she's still pretty heavy on the nitrogen or greenery or however you call it. flavor was pretty impeded by the harshness of the smoke, so can't really comment on that yet.

well, after noting the above, taking another hit, and messing with my cat for a few minutes, i am officially baked. it was a wake and bake, the best time of the day to get high IMO. my head is fuzzy, tight... a little warm. there's some light pressure extending approximately two inches all around my eyes. but not pain pressure, like a shallow stream cooling me down. my eye-ballz themselves are beat! lol just looked in the mirror for that ind-o-kator. looks like i went swimming or something.

feels like a lot is going on in my head. must be the early harvest. it feels goooood. i've got the cable comcast on jazz, and some homeboy is playing Delliah on the horn. the notes are giving my dendrites a high five on their way by. i feel very hungry all the suddent. (shocker) think it might be time for an egg sandwich...

so the smoke is definitely a go. i don't care if it all tastes harsh (which the main harvest won't after another week of flushing plain water fingers crossed), as long as it gets me high like this it is gold!

see you soon with pics.

 

[PoppinFresh]

yeah man... they stoppin the pics from bein uploaded... maybe there's more to it than we realize. all i know is that you've got some sweet green and i wanna see it LOL

 

[Rob547]

I cant get over how incredible those buds look. Big, juicy, crystals! damn dude, props to you. Glad you can finally get a taste of all your hard work.

I think I've read just about all 12 pgs so far, but skimming it now I couldn't find out any info of what nutes your giving them. I grow under floros and CFLs as well and I've been trying to discover your secret haha.


You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to khaleel again

 

[khaleel]

thanks, rob547.

hmm... what could be my secret. idk. lol my nutes are "Sensi 1 NE" powder concentrate, grow and bloom respectively. four grams per gallon, little different depending on which stage in bloom, but that's it. oh and additives... after three weeks in bloom add dr. hornsby's Big Bud (advance nutes), 1 tbspn per gallon, and 1 tbspn per gallon grandma's molasses. for flushing stop all nutes but molasses two weeks out, then pure water last week.

water is brita-filtered, then oxiginated in a five gallon bucket. refilled after each use, so it probably oxiginates for 24 hours or so. ph right around 6.

temps in veg below eighty, temps in bloom below eighty-five (though I average around 78-79degrees.

i have a four inch computer fan for intake in each side of the closet, and an exhaust fan just blowing the air from the actual bedroom out the window.

co2. i bought a co2 pump for a small room. $124 and simple as hell, just hook it up to your light timer and it will last all cycle (i just have co2 in the bloom room).





make sure they're dry before watering again. important stuff. love the shit out of em. lol

that's all i can think of. if there's a secret in there, its all yours
