journal with pics

Found a seed in my bag of cali's finest (so good i forgot what it was called) and thought i should grow it. Germinated and started growing first with one 23w cfl in a box for awhile. Then up graded my light a lil to a 250w HPS. The soil is some Miracle Grow 6 month feed, i know it sucks but was the only thing i could get a hold of at the time. From what i know the grow seems to be going well. Please tell me if u think different or have any advice.

Picked up a TrainWreck Clone today and placed it under the 250w hps.

update on the grow

just picked up some foxfarm ocean forest, transplanted the TrainWreck and trimed some of the sickly looking leaves.

Trainwreck has just been fittin into her new ffof pad, and recovered nicely from the lil haircut (trim) i tried not to get too carried away.

The other plant i decided to name The Bush, it has been transplanted and set for a night (6hrs) and day (18hrs) to recover the started first 12 hr. night. i know that is not a sufficient amount of time to recover from a transplanting im just very curious of the sex. Nightmares of The Bush becoming a hermie. Here are some pics, let me know what you think.


Sidenote: got three Bubba kush seeds and few mix germin.

i think your nightmare has come true, looks like a hermi to me

Wat did you do? put it on 12 hours cycle then back to 18? 'To recover'

it had only one night to recover during veggy state 18/6 then for the first time changed it to 12/12.

TrainWreck doing well still in the 18/6 cycle.
This sucks Seems you were right, nightmares came true cuz The Bush seems to be a hermie. It has been Flowering 12/12 for 1 week today, PLEASE ANYONE LET ME KNOW IF YOU THINK ITS/NOT A HERMIE. WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT?
Dont want seeds in my TW or pollen in my grow setup.

Got some back up. The germin Bubba kush most of them have sprouted over the soil.

You will have a limited growth size with a one gallon pot.

Light cycle is important: think of it as a man's sanity. If he wakes and up is up and down is down then he feels sane. If he wakes and up is left down is right then he questions his orientation to what he is to do.
Silly analogy but it may work yet.
Cannabis plants can remember when the sun will come up. I think any experienced gardener can back me up on this one. They know when it's time.

If we confuse them with light shifts then we can find that "*IF* they have the genetics to express male flowers ( and female pollen ) that erratic light schedules may signal them to go into that mode.
This is useful to find genetics with these Genes but can seem to be a problem for the new gardener who wishes to look honourable in the eyes of the On-line world.

So Do this.. Keep one light schedule. Have a fan moving cool fresh in and one blowing hot stale out ( I am assuming small fans ) like FAN LINK I like these fans! That is high praise coming from me on fans.

Go with 3 gallon pots if you can or two gallon but the one gallon here is used for clone-keepers. Something I cut off of to keep a plant going.

On the Male flower parts. Well you may not want to breed with that plant but there is nothing to say that it won't smoke well!
So if you don't want seeds ( which can be non-hermi on the next Fn generation by the way ) then put on some mag-glasses and get a nice pair so small scissors or better buy a pair of ( OH do I ever love them ) FISKERS! and just snip off the offending flowers. No big deal.

Let me tell you something that took me years to learn. Some plants do well vegging on 14 hour days. Indica seems to do that. Then some flower on 14 hour days. Sativa seems to do that.
So 14/10 works here and in fact if it doesn't it doesn't make the cut.

Look I am here and I saw your handle ( that's the name of my domain ) so I wanted to meet ya. Feel Free to email me for advice. I think I can be of help.

We all love the fellowship! I dig the friends!
