Didn't do anything lol. Just popped a bunch of beans and have been waiting for them to sex and mature before taking any clippings for testing. This is the only one that did this out of 6 beans (Swiss cheese strain). My temps are pretty stable and hover between 72-78f. I noticed some twisting in the leaves so my last watering must have had the ph off slightly. Wonder if that could have caused it. I did read that the majority of the time when it happens the plant is usually a male. First time running into one, so had to ask Thanks for your responses. Peace!!

It could be male, wouldn't rule it out at this point.. but tri-leaf is special in some sets of genetic circumstances and may not make the best of genetics to breed with - just be careful if you plan to take that route, whether it's male or female bro

My youngest son went to Prom tonight. He drug me up onstage to have my picture taken with him and whispered in my ear, I'd rather be with my Best Girl....That's what my husband used to say to me, he made me cry...he's 6'4 and 240 pounds, Not much of a baby anymore, But more of a man than I realized.

Oh an speaking of weird plants, why do some of my leaves look like claws, and why do they have only 3 leaves?

And a little grow update, 52 plants in bloom right now.

Re: the pic in the quote.. what color are those leaves? They look to be an extremely dark green, heading brown/black in the pic I see - could be the room lighting you shot under too, so figured I'd ask before assuming.

whocares100 · Apr 28, 2013

Actually they are a good green, not too dark...but I have a few like that and it's on the taller stems, most have 3 leaves as well...Just wondering where that came from too.

If u look at the second picture you will see the tall stems with the 3 leaves, I have a few like it in each room, the rest seem fine.

Figong · Apr 28, 2013

I did see the 3 leaves, that makes me wonder what's going on.. and the really dark green/aiming toward brown/black could be N-tox, assuming that's the only thing you see that's off in that respect. Not super probable, but am not sure exactly how you're running things.

Tropez, it was a dining room chandalier, I turned it upside down and added splitters, 10 lights @ 13 watts, and 12 more shielded fixtures with 2 bulbs each, glad ya like it...and I'm not a dude, Thanks

You may not be a dude, but doooood nice setup!

whocares100 · Apr 28, 2013

Thanks tropez why tear it apart, it works well for my needs and was only 6.25 at the thrift store...got the splitters off ebay 12/9.99 so the biggest cost was the bulbs...

Hi guys and gal, Ok so I'm sold on the hempy idea but not sure what to get next...
Ill be doing a perlite res and the rest of the fill will be perlite and vermiculite.
I have some advanced nutes laying around that ill be using but I'm lost from here on in... Oh and ill be using rain water too..

whocares100 · Apr 28, 2013

Jay, I'm currently using a perlite reserve and a coco base, works for me,

steeliesteve · Apr 28, 2013

Welcome to WOH Jay! I personally grow in coco, but there are several great growers here who use perlite who can help there. What size container you wanna grow in and are you gonna be starting from seed or clone?

OK so youre going with verm/perl. .. Now you need to chose a container size.

Obviously your choice of container will be come down to how long you want to veg your plant or plants. .. in other words, do you want a couple of LARGE plants or a lot of small plants?

personally I go with 2L. because I have low ceiling heights. but others here go for much larger container 2G+

once you have decided on container size and plant numbers that will dictate the best method of cloning plants to fill your buckets.* For lots of clones (+50) its probably easiest to go with Aero cloning. ... for less than 10 it may be easiest with traditional propagation methods.

Let us know what you've got in terms of equipment and what you have in mind and I'm sure the rest of WOH will throw in their 'educated' 2cents.

*It is possible to go from seedling but IMO its not the most sustainable method so, if asked, I always advise to go from clones.

Jay_normous · Apr 28, 2013

Wow... Thanks guys... I should of commented that ill be using different sized containers depending on the rate of success but I will be mostly be using the scrog method and will be using clones (OG Deadhead and Liberty haze)

so what's the benefits of using coco over perlite/vermiculite...?
can you reuse coco..?
how long would I be able to go on holiday for before the plants need attention.?

thanks, great thread..!

Hello fellow WoH's, hope all is well with everyone. Thought I'd share how my little Auto Somango is doing along with an Auto Critical Jack.

They look good Tex.

Have you suffered from nute issues? In the close-up of Auto-CJ it looks like it has a strange patina on some of the leaf.

Hey Jay I use 1.25 gallon all perlite buckets and I let them dry out at least 3 days between waterings. Even at 3 days there is still some water weight in the bucket and I could probably let them go 5-6 days with no ill effects. The vermiculite will help it hold more moisture but I personally don't like the verm as I really like to let my buckets dry out between feedings and the verm almost never lets them dry out in a reasonable time for me. Just my experience.
