yep they sure look great! this is my favorite part of growing. Cant wait to see how they turn out for ya! i'll be checkin in the next few weeks. dont be afraid to use the cannabis infirmary with some pics to get a fast diagnosis for the little yellowing you have. There is a sticky at the top with some good pictures and diagnosis for plant problems. take it easy

My flowering plants have isssuuuuuessssss :frown:


Tip to noobs - I wouldnt flower out unhealthy plants just for the fuck of it cuz then when they start to bud up you want the best from them but they give you ugly leaves and make you wanna scream

hmmm, I was under the impression icmag got more hits . . . .

But I guess Im not updating too much . . .

Anyway, I came up on a truncheon ph meter!!! wanted one forever!!! Now my ph can be monitored and handled confidently, Im sure Ill get my flower ladies back looking good now, next watering Im gonna really take care of them and make sure they get what they need. Got Cal Mag, LK, FFBBLOOM and FFTBLOOM for them.

Anyone have a reccomendation on ppm of FF I should use for the first REAL feeding?? Im going to go maybe 2/3 strength??? or is that too much??

hey man looking great! i use the exact same nutrients. liquid karma cal mag and the grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom all with awesome results. your plants are looking good. good to see that your yellowing didnt get the best of em. I couldnt tell you what my ppm were as my ph meter just shows ph, but i was feeding mine about half strength until 4 weeks then i really cranked up the nutes week 4-7 full throttle and they took em without very little burn.
The replys will be rolling in now that the buds are taking off. haha
Did you get your yellowing issues fixed? It looks like it from the pics.
Is it stinky at all in there? Take it easy dude thanks for the update. Got it bookmarked and checking daily. By the way that boisenberry makes my mouth water. haha

holy crap did they ever take off since the last update! how many weeks into flowering are ya now? maybe having first grow in the title is scaring them off thinking there's not much to see but damn its looking good. how long do these strains flower for? well at least there healthy and well on there way to your bong. I got a chronic x ak-47 going now that I crossed a few grows ago thats looking real tasty like yours too thats week 3 in flower. Cant post any links as my buddy turned into a narc and would know my set-up. lol Until next time. Keep up the hard work!

Thanks man good to see you and good idea about the thread title, think u may be right lol . . .

Turned to 12/12 on 1_19 but looking back at the pics I think the first budlets formed maybe 1_26?? I dont know man Im gonna go by trichs as far as when to cut them but its been about a month since 12/12 . . .

They say about 60ish days with both strains, I have to look more and research about the intricacies (sp) of each plant and I know every grow op is different. The Sadhu is really chunking up on me and the MK is giving me crazy Crystals. Cant wait till I get this shit dialed in and add some CO2, I got the solenoid, the recycle timer and the tank and I could just refill it for $20 and start piping it in the bottom now but ppl tell me its a waste since the cab has constant ventilation out of the top . . . Im not so convinced that itd be a waste, the co2 has to go up through the plants to get out of the cab right??

Srry to hear about ur homeboy man, thats some shit!!! Fuck him huh??

I cant wait to cross some shit of my own man I had a BEAUTIFUL Grand Daddy male AND a Sadhu male on this run that I had to kill for fear of pollen. But I really wanna make my own crosses once I get this growing shit down, congrats on ur cross man hope she gives you hella dank!!!

PS the males are in my EPIC noob journal on GC, theres a link to it in my sig if ur interested. shits long as hell tho lol

Damn man that thread over there is real long. I didn't go through all 64 pages but I jumped every 5 and it still took a long time. That bomb kush looks insane. Probably the most crystals ive seen on a bud before. Must be nice to go a block over and decide on what to smoke for the day. lol Before you know it you will be getting in dungean girls pants. haha I was reading up on your hannah ph meter and think I am having the same problem as you did. Mine takes about 5 minutes to get to where it doesnt move around on me. I tested mine next to a different one I have laying around and the readings are identical but my hannah takes 5 minutes to get there while the other is there in 15 seconds. I guess I need a new electrode. I just priced them and they are around $50. fack. Better than a whole new meter I suppose. Those plants are looking great. I liked how you had that pic and they were cluttered all around the bathroom vanity area. haha My buddy isnt really a narc to police but someone who just talks, talks, talks about me growing to EVERYONE. I had people calling me 10 years after highschool asking me for weed who I hadnt talked to in that long. Just cant keep his yapper shut so I found a new job, moved away without these morons yapping which would eventually get me busted. Take it easy man! Cant wait for the next round of updates.

Yeah that thread's CRAZY long lol my bad, first grow AND first thread in a forum, thanks for taking the time to even check it out I just opened ur thread in a new tab and am about to read it.

Yeah I had my shit all setup in that crazy bathroom at first but I like the cabs much better, Its not SUPER INSANELY stealth yet but shit, its a lot better lol

I think at least with MY Hannah (its a gro check that does ph,ec,tds and temp it has two probes and is meant to be wall mounted) its supposed to be left in the res the whole time, so if it was used as intended it would take a minute to get the reading and then just stay on reading the whole time and remain accurate. I was using it as a meter not a monitor i.e. just turning it on and off to check the ph and its not a good tool for that. The truncheon is awesome for that function and I am SOO happy I finally got one. Not sure if ur hannah is a monitor or a meter but I think that was the problem with mine, tho it could definitely use a new probe too. I spent about as much as a truncheon is worth on shitty ph meters then finally got a truncheon lol. Lots of ppl get by fine on the less expensive ones, it seems my luck is horrible in that department.

I guess I could update today, but not much has changed, the veg ebb flow tray is EXPLODING with beautiful green growth, when the roots get down in there man these ladies start to really go!!!

Sadhu on the left 517 on the right


Something that I find really intriguing about this 517 strain besides the early showing of sex, quick rooting and its resistance to stretch is its branching tendencies. It really branches out, even without being topped

Untopped 517 clone



Topped 517 clone


None of my other phenos/strains branch like that.

Vegging bores most ppl I know but its not like ppl are checkin out the buds anyway lol, they look about the same as last post if u want some bud shots heres 1 MK and 1 Sadhu, I got some more shots if ppl want

Sadhu

lol yeah I wasnt ever expecting that kind of crop. Thats not even 1/2 gram a watt though. That was only 25 female plants. I ditched a ton of plants to make room for the biggest ones. Started with 93 seedlings. Planned on making some Chronic X Ak-47 seeds so I took the best looking female Chronic and best looking Ak-47 male and put them in a cabinet together under a 400 watt and got a ton of seeds that produce big because of the chronic and the AK for the potency. Then I started cloning these female plants from seeds and would fit 72 plants in there sea of grean style and get 40+ oz's a crop every 8 weeks. Thats when my buddy couldnt hold his yapper shut, showing friends of his my grow on here and whatnot.

But enough about that. Keep up the good work. Even if noone else shows up I still enjoy the updates and checking them out. lol Well gotta go torque a few bowls down. Catch ya later!

P.S. Yeah that sucks you couldnt hold onto that grand daddy purple male plant to cross with something. I tried some of that once while I was out west for a few years and that was some of my favorite smoke. Maybe down the road sometime you can when you get more room.

Yeah that male GDP pheno grew so crazy!! The Perky one!! I have one mroe GDP seed in holding so well see . . . I have some more Sadhu seeds too so when I get good at this I might try to cross some sadhu as well Im liking the way it buds up so far and I here mandala strains are pretty stable :)

Did u find one particular pheno out of ur Chronic x AK seeds that u liked or are you still picking one out?? If u have pics of that Im always interested in breeding and really everything "grow" related lol, congrats again on ur harvest man that shit lasted you forever huh??
