CPH's first grow journal

[cph]

I finallly got a new light!!!! I got a 600w HPS. The lighting really wierd but hey if thats what they then thats what they get. I see things kind of funny anyway since I'm color blind, but that light those it way off!! There's more to say but I'm tired as can be and need to get up for work in anbout 5.5 hours. Here are they funny colored pics!

Congrats on the new light! Those buds are looking sweet.

Thanks Slabhead!! WOW I must of been real tired last night I can hardly read that post up there!!

I'm hoping for about 2 weeks on a couple of them. One went hermy on me. More later tonight when I have more time.

 

[slabhead]

I'm more of an outdoor grower but that new light seems kind of far away from the buds. I guess they have to get used to the new intensity of 600w before you lower it huh? Anyway I bet they smell nice, looking good. later...

I think your right about the light. I was going to adjust it tonight. I'm thinking of lifting the ones in the middle instead of lowering the light. I may endup to close to the taller ones if I lower it.

They are starting to smell real good. I think one smells a little funny, it's like a mix of manure and dirty feet? I'm going to need a filter, thinking about a DIY, we'll see.

I'm just shy of 7 weeks on 3 of them!! Starting to get excited. It looks like 2 of them will be ready in the next week or 2. I can't check trichs so I have to guess about them. Any of your quesses are welcome as well. I know they aren't ready yet but would you flush and start to get them ready? I have already stopped feeding them and plan on getting some molasses. Any buddy ever use it? Let me know what you thought about it.

The 3rd 1 at 46 days seems to be a sativa dominant strain, maybe? The flowers aren't filling in like the other 2. The leaves are thinner and darker. Even though it is as far along as the other 2 it just doesn't look as mature.

They seem to be loving the new light!!

Grandma, what BIG buds you have!!!

good job these plants look amazin!
lol make sure you wiegh each plant seperatly lol cant wait to see the outcome

 

[i grow everglades bud]

in my opinion you should harvest when all of your beautiful little white hairs turn a caramel color and that is when they are fully mature but be carefull NOT ALL STRAINS turn all the way caramel some will still have white hairs on top and the rest be caramel....... well thats my opinion

 

[DUDE!]

looks good cph. you look about the same spot im in less the seeds!!

Thanks for stopping by I grow!! All input is welcome and appriecated. I'm just going to have to go with their over all look. I was reading a thread about being able to tell without looking at the trichs through a scope. We'll see how it goes.

Whats up DUDE!! how you been?

I think I'm going to make it out of this without to much damage. I've only found 2 seeds. 1 on the hermy and 1 on the plant next to it.

Everything's still looking great in here CPH. You should let this grow finish out without using the mollasses if you haven't already IMO. It's real messy but worth it if what everyone says is true. You would have a good baseline for that test. See what you produced without mollasses this grow and what happens if you use it on your next maybe. I know I wouldn't mess with it if I didn't think it put on weight so if you had some actual hands on testing with it then that would justify the mess maybe lol.

I ended up with 19 seeds all together when finished with my grow, which I didn't mind to much. Out of the 19, 9 of them germed and are coming back to bring me more goodness lol. My Dutch Passion blueberry hermied bad tho so heads up if ya ever order any seeds from them. I still tried another DP strain and hope she doesn't do the same. I'll put DP on my shit list if this strain does it also.

I think your right about the mollasses, and I'll wait till next time. I'm having a hard enough time just keeping everything watered and fed now. Having plants at 3 different stages of flower and in 2 different soils is a pain in the ass!

I'll probably end up with more seeds as well once I start going Smoking on it. From what i've heard the seeds on the hermy won't be any good and very likely to herm themselfs, but the seeds on the other plants that got pollenated from the herm should be "feminized" right?

Thanks for stopping by!

 

[rocweiler]

Yeah I thought that I heard something along those lines so I just planted them all and will see what happens. I planned on just letting them grow no trimming lst'ing or anything. Try to keep stress as low as I can. It should all be in the journal. I got 8 transplanted into square pots. I'll take some pics and update my journal later today.

It does sound like you have your hands full right now. I dunno about you but even though it is alot to manage at times, I always find tending to my girls stress relieving more than anything else. Good luck brother going by the track record of this grow man I got no worries that you will have a great crop. Your doing well bro soon you'll be enjoying your own home grown.

 

[cph]

Thanks for the encouragement!! It's nice to hear ppl say you've done a good job!!

It's the most relaxing part of my day. Nomater how much work it is! My girl girl always wonders why i'm down there so long?? After watering and checking everything I like to just sit there and look and smell. I could spend all day in there. I'll be watching for your pics.

 

[cph]

Right at 7 weeks. I didn't get alot of pics last night before my camera battery died. But here the are. They are loving the new light I notice a difference everday now. Plus the fact that they are in their last week now and be putting on wieght anyway.

1 of the 2 that are at 4 weeks went hermie, alot worse than the other 1. The top bud was filled with pollen sack. Needless to say he/she is gone now and drying to be smoked! The other herm has not shown any sacks after I pulled all that I saw off. It almost seems like the bud if forming so quick that they maybe just getting swallowed up and I'll have a ton of seeds when I open it up.

In the pics does any body think that the big bud has about a week? I can't check trichs so your feed back is appricated!

 

[DUDE!]

looks to me like it has more that a week to go. from the pic it looks very white still.

I think your right DUDE! Since it is bagseed I have no idea what the flower time would be. Since it seems to indica dom I thought it would be around 8 weeks. Probably going to have to go a little longer.

Do you usually wait till it is strating to darken up before you start flushing? Because of the soil I haven't been feeding them very much and have already flushed the 2 that are closest to being finished.

 

[DUDE!]

Yes i flush about 10 to 14 days before i harvest, so there will be quite a bit of amber color in them.

 

[Gaines04]

Probably at least 2 more weeks on that big bud CPH... remember what you told me..."patience is a virtue" LOL Looking good brother..

 

[oldmandroman]
