My Pictures (new grow)

[facelift]

Midweek Update.

Plant #2, not shown, suddenly have a growth spurt. This plant was pollenated early on, and was pretty much done flowering last weekend, but over the last few days, the plant has started producing calyx ans pistils nearly doubling the bud size up and down the entire plant. Instead of seeing red, orange and brown pistils, they are all creamy and fresh. I am wondering if the plant had finished it's seeds and went back into bud production.

Anyways, all bets are off for a harvest this weekend. One plant is ready, but #2 suddenly looks like it's ready to pack on some weight.

Have a great day!

I cut one of my plants. The other is still flowering and may or may not be cut next week. I also have three plant in veg. They will be moved into the flower box as soon as the plant currently holding that position is removed.

My first bud shot:

No pics this week, the camera is on vacation. If I can get the camera before it leaves on Wednesday, I'll take a before picture showing the yellowing leaves.

So this early update shows that the lower, first, lower set of fan leaves yellow and dying on a plant, and the other two plants are getting yellow spots on the upper leaves. It's not as if the entire plants are dying yet. These plants are in their 5th week of veg. I've never had this problem before.

I am saying that it's the soil/nutrients. The soil these new plants are in came from outdoors from a giant flowerpot that was home to sunflowers last summer. The soil went through a grow season, winter and spring thaw, so all the fertilizers and trace elements may have been washed out.

I think I am going use this ground up meteorite I have as a soil amendment. The meteorite is a witnessed fall from 1516 or about and named Nantan for the providence of the same name in China. I will grind it up into a powder and use a thin layer on top of the soil. The minerals should leech through the soil to the roots over the next couple of months as it's watered.

The meteorite is an iron meteorite, but it's easy to break up and grind into a fine powder. It's not like the other iron meteorite I have like Canyon Diablo from Arizona which is a solid mass of iron. It's 93% iron 6% nickel, and the remaining 1% is made up of both known, and unknown elements. After all it spent most of it's life hurling through space prior to landing in China. Add 490 years of exposure to the weather, and it's rather brittle.

The following trace elements have been detected in the Nantan Meteorite: C, Cu, Co, S, P, Cr, Ga, Ge, As, Sb, W, Re, Ir, Au, Ru, Pd, Os, Pr, and Mn. Ag, Cd, and Pb isotopes. Also, more than ten minerals have been found in the Nantan meteorites, dominantly kamacite and taenite. Secondary are plessite, scheribersite, triolite, graphite, spherlite, sideroferrite, dyslytite, cliftonite, and lawrencite. Coarse octohedrite. Kamacite lamina are 1 - 3.1 mm wide.

The only other thing I can do that I know of is to transplant into fresh MG soil, but I was saving the new soil for my next grow, and was also going to mix in some of this meteorite dust just for S's and K's.

I have lots of meteorite dust, chunks and pieces....

man....

man....

no way you gonna realy crush some meteorite stuff...
tooo funny....
: )
m.
isn't it like a milion buks a kilo???

 

[facelift]

Yes. I did. I guess there was like 1/8 ounce per plant. Sizes ranging for small pebble to fine dust. I was concerned about the Pb levels, but it's not like I' leeching a block of lead. I'm leeching a meteorite from space.

So....

I cut down my other female, the amount is a bit less than the buds in the picture. The 1st plant has a decent high, and fairly long lasting. Note that I haven't gotten high since mid to last Febuary. I would have to compare it to someone else buds to get a better idea on quality.

After 5 weeks of veg, I put the plants with the meteorite dust into flower last night. I will wait until the plants have been sexed before any additional fertilizers are added.

I am hoping to get more than an ounce per plant this time around. The plants spent 5 weeks in 24/7 light. The last two plants only vegged for 2 weeks. With the added meteorite dust, I expact a stoney/spacey kind of high.

Going to start a few more seeds from a bag of old seeds I found on my dresser. I also have a seed that I found next to the compater.

A suprise inspection by my mom ended this current grow. No big deal. Her main issue of course is that it's illegal. As soon as it's legalized here, she would like to try it. She has more pain that I have, but I may have her beat with the nausea.

NO LONGER ACTIVE....

About a year ago or less, I was at war with my sister. We just don;t get along. She has a job and feels like my dad. "I have a job and done do house work." That leaves me as my mom's left arm, as she call says. She had fallen on a ladder and broke her left shoulder. Still isn't at 100% after 2+years.

The last time the peace treaty between me and my sister broke down, I shut down my grow and told my mom that I had been growing weed in the house. I was not growing for some time, but eventually ran out of weed from the summer and grew those 2 plants which I have curing in a jar.

She has never "popped" in before for any reason, and the only thing I can guess is that since I was using my sisters camera phone to shoot pictures, I didn't clear out the pics and she forwarded them to my mom. Could be worse of course.

I have no proof of this, and there is no weed growing on the property, but there is plenty of evidence in my room that could suggest that this type of activity had been going on.

Good Luck!

Without coming off like im the knower of all things. My last grow was nirvana white rhino and a good friend who is also an awesome cultivator, suggested keeping them very thirsty.In the 5 week veg. period I only watered/fed them three times. The plants were in 1 gallon plastic pales. Using organic soil and the foxfarm system. After the 12/12 switch, I put em in 7 gallon buckets. I used 1 gallon agua/nutes 1 time a week in the first 3 weeks of the flower. As they got bigger I steped it up to 2 gallons 1 time a week. Thats it! They really do need a period of dry roots it seams. Because awe man the buds are a flowin! I had 4 girls and cropped 17 oz. all dried and cured. (primo smoke and 1 of the girls yielded 7 oz. on her own) Shes my new mamma. Each grow before I was almost obssesed with making sure they were watered. Never got a crop like this! Once the plant uses the available oxygen in the water, the water is no longer a good thing, and the dry period will allow the root to recieve oxygen from other sources i.e soil and air flow. The want to water daily is normal, we love our plants and want them to grow up big and strong. I recieve feelings of euphoria while tending my garden. Therefore I tend to tend to much. I would recommend trying this, "dry as possible" method on one of the plants and watch the results for yourself. Remember just as in life, moderation is the key to succes.

Who we are makes a difference!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[facelift]

Even though she didn;t see anything, or mentioned anything, I ripped the plants. They are in the garbage can. I also gave her all my CFL lights. I couldn't grow anything if I wanted too. Can't even buy new bulbs unless I sell my last two ounce a bud.

Thanks for the tip.

About the meteorite dust. The yellow had stopped and the leaves where nice and green. But this no longer matters....

Best Of Luck!

It just goes to show, no matter how you treat Mj, its a weed and it still "flourishes"
