Big Bang Feminized 400w hps topped

Hello everyone.

I am growing GHS BIG BANG under my 400 watt hps. she is around a month old from seed. She has been topped 3 days ago and I just wanted to show her progress. I also kept the top and am currently making it into a clone. So I only have this 1 lady and her offspring growing under my hps.
Her first couple of days it seemed like she used her 2 main fan leaves to recover from the topping so they are kinda yellowing up and getten all crusty and what not.
But she is doing well now and the clones top has opened up so seems like she is growing her new roots.
Feel free to leave any comments. OH, and thanks uncle ben to your artical on topping.

nice poor clones they always look so pathetic at first lol. sub'd

yea. but she is coming around.. Ill be so proud.

no comments? nothing

Flowering short aint ya? look like that last one perhaps a tad underfed? Least the big ones leaves seem a tad yellow. Get that light down on those babies!! I wanna see some saw blades growing!! --enough comments? lol

Just ordered my 10 pack of big bang. Needed a quick crop for the rotation while I get some clones sorted out. Im really going to be rooting for ya on this grow. Im going hydro with mine from seed. Ill take clones too, but those will just be in hold for another rotation later. Did you get a great clone rate? Hows the rate of growth compared to some others youve done? How was your germination rate? Any sensitivity to nutes?

Keep the info coming man! I'll send ya a pm so perhaps we can compare over the next few months. Grats on the success thus far. good to see the $65 for the beans may prove fruitful. happy growing!!

the leaves on the mother plant arnt yellow at all i believe it was the flash from my camera thats maken em look like that. The other one is the clone and she isnt really underfed i just didnt cut off all the leaves when i started to clone her so the outcome was her leaves falling and getting stuck in that position. lol. but ya. i was waiting for the clone to take root then i was gonna switch to flower. Its been 2 days now. she is a fem seed so im not really waiting on her to show sex as i already know what will happen.

But as for the growth rate she seems a lil bit slower than the last 2 that ive down which was aurora indica< was the first one i ever grew.. and papaya.<2nd.
as for clones. i have a 100% clone rate. this was the first time i ever used rooting gel and it didnt seem to matter to much with how i clone. everytime i clone it always takes them about a week to show root.

I seem to do better and better as i go so this is my 3rd grow and the first 2 have been awesum experiences. First round with aurora indica i harvested right under 4 oz. but i had the mother plant and like 3 or 4 clones, really cant remember now.lol. but with the papaya i grew her all hydro in a bubble system that i put together with no nutes and harvested a lil over 6 oz. so this time im hoping or shooting for 8 to 10.. im hoping ill get there.

But ive never smoked big bang so im hoping its just as good as the other 2.. i will have to say aurora indica will put u on ur ass if u cure it right.. I havent had any in a while but i found some shake in the bottom of one of my curing jars not to long ago and WOW. put me out with 2 hits from the bong.
Good luck on ur grow also.. and yea we shall compare..

dam those are some great short clones good job

good luck bros, im subscribed

Thanks jfa916. She is the top of the mother plant.

You gotta be kidding me!! You had a bubble system success on no nutrients? Figure out how I can ebb and flow no nutes, and Ill quit spending a fortune on colored water additives. I must be reading that wrong. Please do tell me more about the papaya grow

All i used was a 6gal pot and a bubbler system. I dont have the final pics but i do have a couple from when she was in 2 week of flower. the wet weight was around 14/16 oz really cant remember the wet weight exactly but i trained her the whole time and made every branch a top.. she filled out quite nicely and rewarded me in the end.as you can see she was very healthy. and yes. pulled a lil over 6oz dry from this 1 plant.

hang on something funny going on here!!! you grew that plant which yielded 6oz dry in a soiless medium that wouldnt have had any nutes and then used just water without any nutrients?????? you must have used some kind of nutrients

im either way to baked or i need to get my eyes tested !!!!

lol.. i seem to be getting this alot now. I didnt use any nutes what so ever.
I used pure water. i grew her under a 400w hps..
But all of what i am saying is true.. All hydro bubble system with no nutes fimmed and trained so i got around 12 full tops.

Anyway good luck with your bigbang&#57431; im growing it now and its huge!!! I'm 4 weeks in to 12/12 so another 5-6 weeks and she should be done.

Was it from green house seeds? The link to mine is in my signature

yes mine was from GHS. And, Thanks.

UPDATE: DAY 5 FLOWER. MOTHER PLANT HAS GROWN 3 INCHES AND DOING VERY WELL, MY CLONE HAS GROWN SOME NEW LEAVES WITH A LIL BIT OF YELLOWING ON THE TIPS. IM PRETTY SURE ITS FROM ME TRANSPLANTING HER DIRECTLY INTO MG SOIL.
I HAVE FAITH SHE WILL BE JUST FINE AS I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING BEFORE.

Here are my ladies, there are 7 in total, three are The Big Bang and the rest are seeds I scavanged from bags of weed so who knows what they are, one of the random seeds is a stinky biatch. I apologise in advance for my shitty camera. I stuck an old VHS case in there to give an idea of the size of em. They're still in veg cycle. I think i'm gonna give em another 2-3 weeks of vegging before changing the light cycle.

So...whaddya think fellow stoners!?

Planted 20 seeds, in two days already had 19 come up. Used 1 t5 2ft. The stalks are so weak they r laying down on me. I used a dome to get started, today put 400w hps and took the hood off to let air and wind from the fans, i'm hoping this works!!! Any ideals would be greatly appreciate it.... Thanks, mike.
