Next try: 400W CMH Satori & KC33

Hazelnuts · Apr 29, 2012

Yeah, my exhaust is at the top and the affected buds are just below the bulb, so I guess it's just drying out a bit. I hope it doesn't get worse, so far it's been staying the same since I noticed it. I can't wait for harvest time, dealers are so unreliable D:

Hazelnuts · Apr 30, 2012

Here are some fresh pics, day 31:

This one's already very frosty, I'm eager to see what it ends up looking like.

Same plant, the bud to the rear

I have a feeling this one's gonna be huge some day

And this one is huge already. I can't wait to see this cola fill out

These are some lower buds from the super frosty plant

Hazelnuts · May 3, 2012

It's day 34 and they just keep getting fatter and fatter! I'm feeding them around EC 1.4-1.7 (depending on the plant) now. It feels like it keeps getting harder to take good pictures that capture the buds well, HPS isn't really good photography lighting...

kenda · May 4, 2012

From what sounded like a painful beginning, they're looking pretty sweet now.

Good luck!

m3th0ds909 · May 4, 2012

looks on point man. Can't wait to see the yield under that 4-banger. How many days do you plan on taking them? and i had another question...... oh. What nutrient line are you using?

Hazelnuts · May 4, 2012

I've been estimating around 60 days for the ladies based on the breeder info. I've got time, though

And my nute line is GHE. I use the lucas formula and add some epsom salt for a little bit of extra magnesium.
Also, yield probably won't be anything to write home about since I used seeds (and got like 2 pretty useless phenos) and kinda botched the veg phase. My next grow is gonna tear shit up though, I'll use the mother plants I made during this grow and some SSHxWW seeds I've got left over from 3 years ago. 12 coco hempy buckets is the plan.

Here's a shot of some weed I picked up yesterday. The picture doesn't quite do it justice, it's really coated in trichomes

magiccannabus · May 4, 2012

Sweet looking bud. I just hope they didn't charge you for all that stem.

Hazelnuts · May 4, 2012

Oh I don't mind paying for a little bit of stem. I bought a half kilo so I'm just gonna be selling it anyway, and the weed is absolutely stellar. I hope my grow is gonna end up just as awesome

magiccannabus · May 4, 2012

With that much good weed like that around, you should be more able to resist temptation! I'm sure your stuff will be top tier, and now you can let it mature without wanting to chop it too soon.

Hazelnuts · May 6, 2012

Well, I'm back with a new round of pics. It's day 37 and the ladies are really starting to put out. I'll post 5 pics here cause of the image limit, I'll just post the links to all the pictures below. I took them out of their tent for these pics and used the flash, makes the resin come out very nicely.

This plant had 2 seeds in the buds which must have come from some bananas.. I've found a few and took them out, IDK where they're coming from as I don't have any terrible light leaks (the tent has a few tears, but I've stuck my head inside after the lights went out and it was pitch black). It's nothing major so far though. This is a satori plant btw.

This is my favorite plant, she has soooo many buds and the top colas are super big. Can't wait to smoke some of this. This is one of the KC33 girls.

Another KC33

Should be awesome when done. The plant in lower right: Primary leaves looks like they are telling you something. Big leaves have a big thirst. Could be just water. Or, big leaves are typically the first to take one for the team, hope it's not anything else, but just in case, you might want to keep any eye on it

Nice to see you do this. 3 years ago, when I got back into growing I was smitten by the UFO 90s. I then started following "lighting threads" in search of a light that would cover 2 X 4 without putting out a lot of heat. I don't recall anybody using a 400 CMH, I think back then max CMH was 250, but I wanted 400.

I settled down with a Quantum Bad Boy HO T5 (8 bulbs @432w). The one thing I really like is the variety of bulbs, many similar to led PAR bulbs. I combine a variety for veg, then a somewhat different combination in early flower and in late bloom, more red.

But to get what you're getting with one 400 CMH makes me want to set up a second 2 x 4 grow area to play with it.

Thanks

Hazelnuts · May 6, 2012

PetFlora, thanks for stopping by! I'm not quite sure which plant you're talking about, mind pointing it out to me? Also, I'm not using the CMH right now, I switched to HPS after 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle my next grow, I think I'll just switch to HPS again though since it's been working really well.

originall · May 6, 2012

nice plants. please told me which tall have been the satori of the end.

Hazelnuts · May 6, 2012

Hi originall
Unfortunately I don't know which plant you're talking about... I can tell you that the satoris were pretty average in terms of stretch, maybe 2x

originall · May 7, 2012

this much useful for me.. thanks

KushIsMyCologne · May 9, 2012

Looking great! Can't wait to see the harvest.

Thanks, neither can I!
Here's a new round of pics from day 41:

More in the next post, stupid image limit...

Hazelnuts · May 10, 2012

The last 3 images I posted are all the same satori plant, I'm definitely gonna be running this one again. Sooo much frosty goodness, and still at least 20 days to go!

This is a different satori, also looking very promising

The roots of one of my monster cropping cuts, the third one is rooting right now.

These are some mother plants, although I think 2 of them are males. I'm gonna keep some of the males around in case I wanna make seeds one day.

And these are the seedlings for this year's outdoor grow. 5 of the 12 Ingemar's Punch seeds I planted have sprouted, I hope the other 7 will follow. What's also worrying me is that so far, none of my Super Silver Haze x White Widow seeds have sprouted, it would be a terrible shame if I lost that strain.
Edit: This morning when I looked, 8 of the 12 Ingemar's Punch seeds had sprouted. Still nothing from the SSH x WW though.

Hazelnuts · May 12, 2012

Well, guess what! I just went down to the basement to look after the plants and it seems one of them (the super resinous satori pheno with the straight, bright pistils) is starting to change colour! It's in the beginning stage of taking on this awesome fall foliage colour mix of yellow, purple and red. I'll go back down after the lights go out and take some pictures. Also, 9 of the 12 Ingemar's Punch have now sprouted, but the SSHxWW are still not showing any signs of life.
Edit: Here we go:

.
And here's another shot of that weed, there's only one bud left now, the rest's sold already.. Too bad, it's really awesome and I can't pick up any more

Hazelnuts · May 15, 2012

Here's a new round of pics, you'll hear back from me on the 21st or the 22nd when I return from my vacation. I can't wait to see their progress

As you can see, I tied the big plant up so its tops would get closer to the light. You can't really see how it's done here but it's working fairly well and all the plants are still getting light.

This is a side bud of the plant with the most purple leaves on it - it's looking awesome! The HPS light unfortunately doesn't do its purpleness justice, even though I used manual white balance.

Another attempt to capture my ghetto-rigged support system for the big KC33 plant. I can't wait for my next grow, it's gonna be sooooooo awesome and clean and with way less ghetto construction and jury rigging, lol

Next try: 400W CMH Satori & KC33
