Heres a shot from right before htey went into flower.
I tried to turn it, but on my comp it shows it vertical, and when i upload it shows horizontal, so i dont know.
My bigger clone is starting to get a little droopy.
oh well...tomorrow i find out how many turned male
So i went up today, switched to Bloom Nutes, and also pulled 1 male.
i wasnt sure about all the plants, so i figured i'd give them a few more days.
Also, one of my clones wasnt getting the height, so i relocated the plants and put it in the middle.
My water pump died on me, so the plants have been underwatered, thats why they are showing yellow.
anyways, the picture:
I'm hoping for about a quarter pound per plant, but obviously thats on the higher end of the scale.
Because i'm not really able to moniter the plants(i only see em about once a week), its hard for me to do any training, without being able to maintain it
This is my first grow, so right now, i just want, good, organic, homegrown weed. Next grow i plan on a few upgrades(throwing a second 600W first priority), and then i'll be able to do more experimenting with plants.
I was trying to avoid shock as they entered flower, so i only pruned the leaves that were yellow. Next time i go up, i'll cut away some of the under foliage, especially on the clones.
It's already been 7 days flower, i think it'd be too late to top them.
I guess they havn't been watered in the past 2 weeks or so, and definitely look lke it.
I did some pruning up, watered extensively, set up a new irrigation system(i just hope it works), and transplanted to bigger pots/more soil, just some gadeners organic potting soil at the local lowes,(The roots were SUPER THICK ont eh side of the pot, i guess that rhizotonic stuff really works!).
This is what they looked like when i left:
Im really disappointed i'm down to 4 plants, these girls better turn out GOOD.
Tallest plant is 30".
just be glad you caught them when you did, count ur blessings!
good luck with the rest of the grow, they look great for not being watered for 2 weeks also!
later man
Went back to check on em after 5 days of recovery.
My new irrigation system didnt work, so i watered them again. I tried another setup, and i'll go back in another 5-7 days to see if its working, or if i should just water them.
They do look better, one of the clones i took from teh original outdoor plant looks super good, i regret not being able to take clones of it again, seeing as it seems very stable, and the nug wasnt that bad.
Anyways, here are the pics,
so i've been around the plants about 4 days in a row now...i ordered a new water pump(400gph, definitely enough to feed 4 plants),and ive watered with mollasas/bio-flores/pk1314/cannazyme so the plants are nice, healthy, and hydrated.
hte 2 super skunks are much taller/stalky than the mystery clones...and the super skunks are supposed to be indica , but the clones must be much more of a true indica...also they have a lot more crystals growing on teh leaves/buds...it looks really good . I wish i had one of my real cameras to take pics, but hte iPhone doesnt do too well on closeups. anyways, here are the pics:
So here is my plan for the rest of the grow:
finish pk1314 mix by Friday(beg. Of week 6)
start flush on Monday.
Use plain water with half dosage mollassas till I'm ready to chop it down.
Any final tips?
So i started flush on friday, and this is hte picture from then.
They're looking good! looks like i have 2 sativas, 2 indicas, and the indica's are reallly getting good crystal development.
I like doing threads for taking notes mostly....not many folks hit mine either
I have not been online much lately and just got a chance to come by....man that is very impressive dude....especially for a first grow....looks better than anything I've accomplished....enjoy the harvest...make sure you do a smoke report
I saw post #73 one day...but didn't reply 'cause it sounded like a good plan Let us know how it turns out....
So i'm flushing em still, how much water am i supposed to give them? i'm givem about 16oz a day of fresh water, all the leavesa re green and healthy, arnt some supposed to fall off?
and do you guys go by the 50/50 red:white rule, or how cloudy the crystals are?
1 had a A LOT of purple on the center of the leaves...it also produced the least amount of nugs,and i think im gonna just make butter/hash out of it.
the other ones looked really good...its hard to tell just how much i cropped. There are HUGE amounts of trichomes, and i have a feeling this stuff is gonna get me rippppped.
it smells super fresh too.
I have them cut into branches, all trimmed up, and hanging from clothespins in the shed, with all the fans on, and the lights off.
i'll be putting them into jars on friday or saturday, and then burped once a day for 20 minute for 7 days, and then stored sealed in a dark place for 4 weeks...After that, i'll tell yo how i like them!
Congrats! Yea, I have messed up ounces of bud by screwing up the drying process...gotta let the shit get dry
Enjoy the harvest....thanks for the thread
