I should make some postcards too. I really do appreciate all the help and wisdom from you guys and girls. My girlfriend is all about this site called shutterfly and gets stuff like that made all the time. Maybe she'll help me make some. Maybe some New Years cards... She can get free stamps from her work too so wont even cost us shit to mail em all. If you want to drop me a postcard I can PM you my address.

Some bud from 2 small plants that finished at 7 weeks of flowering. I hang the bud up to dry for 4 days and then put it in jar to start the curing. This has been in the jar for 3 days. And the other pics are from another one that will be getting chopped within the week. I will probably have 3 to chop in a week and then another 3 the next week. This is Bluewidow crossed with AK47. Now that i have one grow done, i am familiar enough with it to setup the next grow to maximize yield and take advantage of all usable space. I will be doing vertical scrog. This time i just placed them around the bulb and let them grow how ever they wanted. I wanted to get the average sqft that each would take up.Well here are a few pics.

Nice! thats your first grow? I got some questions for ya then brother: what were you using as far as a medium and lights? How long did that one in the first pic veg for? Are you going to veg on your next grow or go 12/12 from seed? lol

Looks very tasty tho. +rep

hey btw quick update: that black russian seed that I planted last week never sprouted. I poked around in the soil a bit to find the bean because it wasnt very deep at all. When i found it I noticed that the shell from the seed was stuck tight to the plant trying to grow within. I think its dead but I tore the shell off GENTLY anyways and put it back under the light lol. I started germinating a Papaya seed tho tonight just in case this Black russian doesnt sprout. Kinda disappointing. I guess this is why people germinate more than one bean at a time huh? I just only got so much room and dont want to have multiple seeds crack and then have to throw some away... :(

No this is not my first grow. I have been growing pretty much non stop for 4 years now. I am growing in 2 liter bottles using 100% perlite hempy bucket style. I have been growing 12/12 from seed for about 2.5 years now and wont do it any other way. I use 600w hps. Zero veg time.

Actually, if you use fem seeds, most people only crack one at a time (or how ever many they intend to grow). The main reason for cracking multiple seeds is if you're not sure of the sex and want to be sure to end up with at least one plant. I was always taught to use the rule of 3 with regular seeds. Plant 3x as many as you hope to get plants...If you want 2 plants, germ 6 seeds so you can toss the males and still get the 2 fems you wanted.

Sorry your Black Widow is having troubles...leave it alone and it might come up anyway. I'd wait at least a couple of weeks before giving up.

Hypocrite420, definitely give your Black Russian a chance, my monsters were stuck down and trapped by the seed shell, they looked a bit puny but they're starting to thrive now :) :peace:

Nice! Yea I shoulda looked at your join date lol. So I need to get a HPS when this lease is up in April. I think a 400w will be more than enough for me. Any recommendations from anyone on best quality for price of HPS? Maybe a kit with bulbs included lol

Yea it pissed me off really. I was looking forward to keeping them all spaced out a month apart from eachother... oh well. Got the papaya germinating now. we'll try that and then next time go with the black russian.

Yea thanks, I'm gonna continue to water it. how long should I give it before i chuck it tho? Sorry about the male, but you know what? I havent seen male preflowers with my own eyes yet. My first grow BOTH of my plants looked like they were hermies... When they started to sprout white hairs, they also started forming little pods like I see in your picture there. In about 2 weeks of growing these pods EVERYWHERE, the pods opened up and there was no pollen in them. Only clusters of more white hairs. So I guess it wasnt the same type of pods you have but it was confusing. The plant I have now has no pods at all just the hairs. Maybe it was just a weird strain I had? or false pods i have heard of?
 
Hello All,

This thread has caught my interest and I thought I would give this a shot. My girl here is Mendo Purps from bagseed at day 34. Still has a long ways to go.

I am an experienced grower and I started this grow as an experiment after reading this thread a few months ago.

Here's my experience with 12/12 from seed. I grew 2 Durban Poison 3 White Widow 1 Jock Horror and 2 Northern Lights. The plants never reached their potential. They stunted at about 30" The plants were a little scraggly and did not take nutes very well at all. I have grown all the above plants on a regular veg cycle first and the yields were 50% better on the regular schedule. But.....all of the plants finished in 60 days of flowering or less and the smoke was as good as the regular grow. To me it's not worth sacrificing that much yield for savings a week or two.

I think an AutoFlower would accomplish the same thing.
