You can stop acting like were in the movie Bring It On, and fuckin quit with the OMGs n act like a god damn man. Go read the FAH-Qs before you post anymore man. Congratulations, your the first person in RIU to be un-invited from my thread man. ill mail you a trophy.

N DK, i got 8 plants total now too man, n im hopin for 3/4 - lb from the harvest. Where did you get those C02 pucks??? i think i might need a few of them shits cuz of the heat still being a minor problem in my grow. It would help the plants stop growin so slowly for sure. Hit me back n lemme know, cuz ill be pickin them shits up as soon as you tell me where man

LOL hahaha too funny. but yeah, anywho, i got them on eBay man. was trying to give you a link but i cant find them now?! i guess the only person selling them isnt anymore, ill see if i can find the seller i bought them from. i got 15 for $30 which is apparantly a pretty good deal they retail for over $50. they also sell 50 packs which are like $100 and something i guess will save you in the long run... just google search for "excellofizz" you should find plenty of other places to get them online. and 3/4p off 8 plants huh? someone has high hopes

"N Weedman, That fuckin Bush is SICK bro, cant wait to see that fucker in a few more weeks. Truly a beautiful thing. N that looks like a coffeecan there that the plants bein grown in......

"

thanks man , i finally have a plant to be prowd of , and its a HD 5 gallon bucket that its in .... im wishing for 3zs dry .... am i crazy ?

 

[Thundercat]

Very nice bush, 420weedman. Looks like a real nice plant. I just read your journal, not sure what you'll get off her, but with her tied down like that I'm sure it wil be more

Ok so I just payed $100 for a 1/2 of some low grade mids, I'm kinda depressed. My town is so damn dry right now, this litterly has been the only option that has come my way in about a week. After my buddy had gone and gotten it for me, I didn't feel like tellin him no I don't want this its kinda brown. He spent his money to get it for me.

It pisses me off cus had I known, and had my gf and I not wanted to smoke, I should have just baught my seeds. I guess its better than nothing to smoke, but still its not better then seeds....

 

[420weedman]

thanks man !
at least i can get good mids for that price but is dry here too... hadnt had any down town georga brown in a long long time thankfully ... but yea its usually better than nothin ! , de stem and seed it .. and pack up some fat bongs ... that usually works

if there is seeds .. plant a few

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

DK, yeh ill look that shit up man, my babies could use a lil c02 boost for sure, theyre growin pretty slow right now cuz of the heat. I just ordered a window fan to suck all the hot air outta the room, so that should help things out without givin away what im doin hopefully.

N 3/4 lb is hopin too high for 8 plants?? i mean, the strain descriptions say 300-400g/m2 right?? thats pretty fuckin high yield IMO, so why not shoot for the expected specs of the strain?? every strain im growin is 300-500 g/m2, so why not shoot for 3/4-1 lb ? u never know man, u never know....

N TC -- dude, dont sweat the drought. I know it sucks now, but just keep buyin the dirt, n smokin it for now man. Youll get past it man. Once its harvest time, youll be singin a different tune - well get you straightened out man, youll see

N Weedman -- i dont think 3 z's is TOO rediculous to ask for, but you need to expect a lower yield so your not disappointed if you dont get what you want out of it. Aim for like a Z n a half, that way anything over that is nothin but pure surprise, and your all the more pleased with yourself, lol. Me personally, for this grow im doin now, i EXPECT like a 1/2 lb. a Z from each plant aint too much to ask for, so anything i get off of them extra is just icing on the cake man.

I topped all my plants today cuz they all have like 4-5 nodes, so it was time to do the damn thing nice n early so the branches have time to swell up n get nice n bulky to hold some big nugs, But i also have 2 plants that i just started from seed, which im gonna be leaving completely natural. I wanna see what a Northern Soul n a Blue Cheese look like with one GIANT cola . The reason i planted 2 more from seed is because one of the plants i had in dro just wasnt doin anything growth wise, and was getting root rotted. The roots werent developing, and were all slimy and dark dark brown. No matter how many times i changed the rez, or added h202, they just kept getting worse, so i put her out of her misery. COULDNT HELP IT GYPSY MAN - SORRY BRO >.<

So, ill do some more pics in a couple days, when i have some serious progress to report. I think im gonna let them veg until the 29th, n then ill throw them into Flower. Give them a solid 5 n a half weeks of veg time, n hopefully theyll be a nice foot or close to it before i start makin them push out beautiful, resinous, sticky icky ickyness, lol. Man, flowering cant come soon enough - seems like yesterday i was germing them all.


OOOOOOO btw, lol, i decided what im gonna do motherwise. Im gonna take a clipping from one of the healthier blue cheeses right before flower, and im gonna grow her out in my upper box, into a mother. Then, im gona take one of my Red Diesel seeds, n grow her out into a mother too. I might take a cutting from one of my Northern Souls, or my Whiteberry, but i dont know yet. The BC n RD for sure though. N i aint gonna kill them before the move neither - i got a nice huge rubbermaid tub im gonna throw them into for the moving process. Fuck killing beautiful motherplants man. Im gonna keep them bitches around for YEARS, lol.

 

[dgafaboutanyone]

hey waddup hit me up i have something to ask you!!!

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

i cant hit u up, u only have one post. Whats up??

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

wow, no posts today, lol??? how unusual...

Well, my topping went off without a hitch. The growth is improving now that temps have stabalized since the wether is now fuckin FREEZING outside, i can keep shit at a level 80 degrees inside. The fuckin downside to this is, i fuckin started my new seedlings in growbags like a fuckin idiot, and they didnt ever break surface. I checked out the soil, and it was freezing cold. Did a little more diggin around (GENTLY), and found the seeds, with the taproots still the same size that they were when i planted them 3 days ago. So i dont know if theyre dead or not, but i DO know that i put them into starter pots, and threw my HPS bulb in there so shit could warm up a little bit for a day or two, and hopefully jumpstart the seeds back up, and make them sprout. If they DONT sprout, then im just gonna replace them with RD n WW seeds come wednesday when i get them shits, so im not stressin, but it woulda been nice to have these go off like i hoped they would.

I would actually be kinda excited to plant a Red Diesel seed during this grow man - ive been wantin to grow Diesel since i did my first read up about the strain, n the RED diesel just looks fuckin sick, lol, so planting one, and not topping her just sounds fuckin awesome to me. This one dude has a post in General Growing, showin off his diesel 8 weeks into flower - no topping, no nothin. Just FF nutes n soil, and some TLC, n that shit looks fuckin OFF THE HOOK fuckin crazy good. So i was thinkin that if these seeds fuckin die on me (which i really hope they DONT, but if they do i wont cry, lol), then One Red Diesel, n One White Widow (Legends Collection) would be a suitable replacement for sure. Untopped, UnFimmed,No LST, No Nothin. Just gonna let them veg for 2-3 weeks with the rest of the crop, and then let them bitches go straight into flower with everyone else. Of Course i know theyll be alot smaller, with a deminished yield because of the short veggie time, but then again, maybe theyll still turn out fuckin sick man.

Has anyone had any experience with vegging for only a couple weeks and then flowering for the full 8-10 weeks?? results?? would appreciate anyones feedback here. I know that its not THE BEST idea in the world to do it like that, but ive commited to an 8 plant grow, and if i cant get my other BlueCheese n Northern Soul seeds to sprout per my original plan, then i NEED to replace them. Of course i could always go with the same genetics im doin now, but i wanna do as much variety as i can. All of my other seeds are all sealed up in breeders packs (except for my freebies), and the only reason i bought the Red diesel seeds was because i was tired as fuck late as fuck one night, and i just said fuck it n did it on an impulse. So basically i can grow them at my own discretion - theyrenot meant for a certain grow, or anything like that, so im openin them bitches up as soon as i get um, lol. So yeah, id rather have 6 different varieties growin in my tent(2-BC,1-NS,2-TL,1-WB,1-WW,1-RD), as opposed to 4 (3-BC,2-NS,2-TL,1-WB). No matter what 8 plants fits perfect into the tent, so 8 it is. Call me stubborn, i call me diligent

Ill do an update within the next couple days here for sure, but i MIGHT wait til wednesday to do one up proper with pics n everything, just in case these seeds dont take n i have to germ me some Diesel action. Ill keep yall in the loop for sure.

[-=4:20=-Guy]

I think they will sprout given a little warmth, as long as the taproot is intact you should be good.

Anyway as far as the 2 week veg goes I don't recommend it on smaller strains. I tried it with Purple Kush (100% Indican rated at 2-3 ft grown indoors) and was very disappointed. Check this pic of the total harvest off of 12 plants under 400w =( I didnt even weigh it.

 

[Thundercat]

If I run something that is gonna stay small on it own, then unless time is a big variable, I don't see a point in cutting short the veg time, cus it will lower yields. In my mind, atleast a month of veg should give you a pretty hearty plant. But if I run something sativa dominant, I will prolly only veg for 2-3 weeks(depending on how they are doing), since they will grow, and stretch so much during the first couple weeks of flowering, to try to keep them a controllable size.

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

thats pretty much what im sayin. ill be planting a WW seed n a RD seed, n the WW is sativa dominant. So basically ill be able to plant on tuesday, which will be middle of week 3 of vegging for the other ladies. So maybe ill let the RD n WW go for 3 weeks - i duno. I DO know that one of the seeds fucked out on me. I checked to make sure the taproot wasnt all fucked up on my Northern Soul seed, and when i checked it out, the taproot looked like it had shrunk, and curled up. When i went to pick up the seed gENTLY with a pair of sterilized tweezers, i barely squeezed the seed n white puss lookin shit came out. i guess the plant embryo must have liquified or some shit, lol. Fuckin hate rotten seeds man - n its all my fuckin fault cuz i didnt start her out in a starter pot, so the soil didnt get hot enough for the seed to grow. The other one is lookin strong though. even though the root hasnt grown any more yet, the BlueCheese taproot is about an inch long, and strong - its not all flimsy, its thick n lookin like its gonna be able to pull through. Well see though. I hope i dont have to start the RD during this grow, only because theres not enough veg time for that. But the WW is definitely getting planted. 3 weeks of veg time for a sativa will be good man, lol - dont say discouraging words here, be POSITIVE damnit!! - no but seriously, will it?? i dont know shit about sativas, lol

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

i mean, i guess if i needed to i could throw the two girls up top to veg out for another 2 weeks or somethin so that they would have to play catch up. Flower time is relatively short for both strains - ww being lik 7-9 weeks n the rD is 8-10, n i really dont mind harvesting the RD a week or two later than the rest of the ladies if it means like almost doubling my harvest. So fuck it, lol. Im goin for it man. Even with a fuckin nice proper setup in still growin ghetto for christs sake....i cant win, lol.

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo......I DID IT. I finally finished checking over all of my buds on Corky. I looked at a leaf from every inch of each bud, just to be sure that it was the same all over. The results were relatively consistant, with the trichomes being 25% amber, 75% cloudy. So about an hour ago i chopped down Corky, and finished my first grow So fuckin stoked man, this shit has been a long time comin, thats for damn sure, lol.

So i gave her a quick once over, clippin each bud one by one, and lightly manicuring each nug before i put them up to hang dry overnight, maybe two.I got pics uploading right now, so ill put them bitches right up as soon as theyre done loading. FUCK MAN, lol, i cant believe that shes done. i had an emotional attachment to the plant man, we learned so much about each other, n then......I just had to kill her. So, i guess ill take comfort in knowing that ill be smokin on her for the next 2-3 weeks, lol.

Her end wet weight was 1.25-1.3 oz . , so im assuming itll be about .75 oz, maybe a little more, we shall see.

I just wanna give you all a big ass fuckin THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

from the bottom of my big stoner fuckin heart guys. Because of all of you here, ive been through my 1st grow - ive killed a plant, ive seen one turn male, and ive kept one going strong until the finish - all in the same grow. I couldnt be happier with the results for this one, and i know now that the next one is only gonna get better, and so forth n so on. Seriously, if i could take half my bag n roll it up into a fatty fuckin party blunt, i would, n id pass it to every single one of you guys. you all rock, n one more time, just thank you all.

ill put pics up here in just a couple minutes, as soon as i get them uploaded onto my pc ill let you see my bagseed

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

like i said, its just a rough manicure, im gonna be doin the final job METICULOUSLY as soon as im done hang drying them, right before i put them into jars.

Now, lemme get this right. I hang dry them until the stem snaps but doesnt break right off - then to paper bags for a day or two to "sweat" the buds a little bit - n then off to the jars for no less than two weeks, to make sure that shit is properly cured, and stanky, right??

They smell like pungent freshly cut grass right now - WAY stronger than Dlylah smelled when i had to chop her down. So im assuming that the pot smell will come in about a week or so of curing, correct??

Either way, i dont give a fuck man, the high is seriously good. Gotta say the best mids ive ever smoked. its no dank, thats for sure, but i gotta say that i grew some eXCEPTIONAL middies.......i am satisfied.

So lemme know what you guys think, n get back to me, i would appreciate any feedback on shit i shoulda done or coulda done differently, i really do still need all the advice i can get, what with the grow i got goin on right now just now becoming a reality, and the plants are coming along nicely, so ill need you guys to stick around for another one, if your up for it

thanks again guys,

-K1.

 

[mane2008]

I'm diggin the harvest

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

cmon up to OH mane, maybe well match up a couple bro

 

[420weedman]

looks like some nice buds .. how long was the flowering exactly ?

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

like fuckin almost 12 weeks, lol. i started my 1st grow at the end of july ffs. She was in flower for almost a whole month before she even showed sex man, she definitely took a looooooooong ass time to fuckin finish. Why, does she look like she wasn't done or somethin??

Has that ever happened before?? trichomes looking like shits ready, but the actual plant itself just flat out not ready to be chopped??? I know theyre some small buds, but its actually more than what i thought would come out of the deal. Do you think i did somethin wrong or what ??

 

[boricuaboi]

can i have some lol
looks sativa was it ?

Very good though bro i commend u
