cannaboy as soon as i saw this thread i was hooked.
im about to do the same grow but im going to veg for 3 weeks.
you plants are B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!!!! loll
this is gonna be my first grow and i was wondering how long a LST'd forrr???

 

[cannaboy]

thanx mrxgreenthumbx,im glad your enjoying my thread,you could lst whenever you want,as long as itz before the main stem gets to hard which would obviously break the stem...but early lst would be best because you can shape your girls how you want them...but by the tyme they have budz on them the stems will be hard enuff to take watever your tying the plant down with off

im not sure how much i'll yeild because belive it or not this is my first grow..lol..and i really cant eyeball it....but her top cola is just hitting 7 in
and her smaller colas are in the 2-3 inch range

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

hmm thats crazyy! lol this is a nice grow for a first timer!!!
i see in your pics the leaves are very dark coloredd .. why is that??
and what does molasses do?

 

[cannaboy]

im not sure why the leaves are dark but i guess it has sumthin to do with flowering since they became dark after i went to 12/12...and as the molasses,it is a life saver for a rookie grower,it fattents the budz up because it contains micro nutrients that the plant needs....i swear when i started using it,2 dayys later i seen big improvments on bud width and length

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

ohh i see.
damn how much do you use and how often?
this thread has helped me soo much.
im thinkin about just doin about 3 plants like mary.
whats the width of the budss??
man they look dence for CFL's..

i use about 2 tbl sp. of molasses once a week
i just measured her top colas width....and its 2 1/2 inches

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

alright thanks bro!!!
im going to use a t8 fixture (2 bulbs)
and 4-6 CFL's
for 2-3 plants would i be happy with the results? im lookin to grow something small like a half ounce,
think this would be enough light for 3 plantss??
damn im just amazed at the buds on these girls. it looks like they've been under a small HPS.

 

[cannaboy]

thanx.....during mary's early flowering stages,she was being flowered with one 27 watt blue spectrum floro,so with 4-6 cfls!!!!!...im sure you could get a half ounce, you may get more since your goin to vegg for a couple weeks be4 flowering

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

i plant on using about a total of 8,000 lumens. and three plants, veg for 3 weeks.
how much light are you using?

 

[cannaboy]

currently in my grow room i have two 42 watt cfls,one 23 watt cfl and two 27 watt full spectrum floros running

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

ohh. that doesnt seem enough, but look at your plants!! =P
how long till harvest???
you gotta send me a lil nugg :] hahah
does t8's need a ballast?

day 54 flowering mary/day 26 flowering killa


mary had a big ole bud,big ole bud, big old bud,mary had a big ole bud,whose cola was white as snowyaaaaaay!!!!

well anyways......i nuted mary yesterday with a tbl sp of superbloom,and a few teaspoons of molasses,i figured since mary is a little past halfway point of being finished,why not let her finish in the sun,so i put her and killa outside for 12 hours everyday,i dont know why i didnt think of this earlier. im not sure if this will help her bud size (not that im complaining),but i think it is logical that since the sun is in fact the best source of light,putting mary outside for 12/12 to finish buddding should be a clever thing to do

if any one has any grows that is done inside and outside....please get at me cuz im gonna put killa outside for 12/12 through the rest her cycle and see how she does,this way i could 12/12 my plants from seed outside anytime of the year,keep them short,and get the results of a 1000 w hps without purchasing one....im sure this may not be any news to sum of you growers,but im new,so get off me nuts


killa got nuted yesterday also,her new leaf growth at the topnode is a liittle golden/purplish brown,but when it grows out a little more it turns that flourishing green that i like so much...you'll see it in the pics....she grows about a half inch a dayy since shes been in the sun


well here are the pics......my dog coco (coca~cola~classic) had to get her morning wake and sniff

hahahahahahahahah your dog is as big as your plants

 

[cannaboy]

i have about another 2-3 weeks.....but i dont have to much information on t8's sorry

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

dang good luck on the rest of the grow!!!
im soooooo excited to start my groww lol
oh okay thanks anywayss
so all you do in LST is tie a string to the top part of the plant and tie the other end down???

 

[cannaboy]

thanx and your welcome....and yes thats how you do it,i only tied the middle section down and moved the string up as mary grew......bout to go smoke a and watch family guy like the rest of the stoners..lol

get at me if you have any questions

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

your welcome.. yeah do you try it lower than the plant itself??( the string)
hahah yeah me too man peace!

 

[cannaboy]

if you mean from the bottom of the stem,then no,but i would imagine that if you tie the bottom of the stem and the top of the stem at the right pull of stress,that you would be able to make a (s) shape plant.....i'll make a note of this so i could try an experiment.....
