Organic Sensi Seed Big Bud Femenized 400w grow w/ PICS

[sednal]

Hello everyone,

We finally got around to taking some pics. Just gettin used to the new camera so pictures arnt the greatest as i couldnt seem to find the best lighting.

Setup: GrowLab 80 with 400w HPS lighting system odor controlled and air cooled with 4" canfan. Temps range from 68 at night to 78 max when lights are on, depending on temperature and humidity outside.

Medium: Using LC's Organic Mix #2 with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro neuts for soil, Liquid Karma, and CalMag plus when needed.

Girls: 4 Sensi Seed Big Bud femenized from seed, vegged for 27 days and on day 28 of flower. Found 3 phenos that are pretty similar and one that has completly different characteristics but still a very nice plant. The 3 similar phenos are very indica dom. with very broad leaves. Just about doubled its height when triggered to flower. Very fast progression of buds. They showed female glands at one week and had nice clusters by week two. By week three there was substantial chrystal production and today at week four they look like my last batch did at 6 weeks. So far they are living up to their name.

Heres how their lookin and a view of their home. Please feel free to comment or contribute with ideasor your two cents.

I would imagine somwhere around 8 or 9 weeks, 4 or 5 from now. I got a decent ammount of outdoor coming down in another week or two so not in any hurry. Looking to let these gals get some sweet big ripe buds.

Can i get a move of this thread from a mod to the indoor grow diary forum by chance?

 

[Joey Roastbeef]

so what was their height when you switched to flower?

just trying to get an idea of how much they like to stretch after the switch. since i have limited height and have been considering this strain for a future grow.

keeping an eye on this one, hope it lives up to it's name.

I have been considering Big Bud for my next run and ya selling me for sure.

Had any problems with the grow?

Any hints or learnings you can pass along?

Thanks for the great pics.

Looking good sednal!

You might want to try a SCRoG with 1-2 of the clones or a SoG with many small clones switched to flower at say 6"-8" tall for an improved overall yield.I think SCRoG would be the way to go in your space as with those 4 plants you still seem to have alot of unfilled canopy space.

Thanks alot! As far as problems go, ran into a little heat stress when we put them into the flower room, but that was prior to air-cooling the hood. So far everything is going great. i realized i could have vegged them a little longer to have made them a little bushier and fill the room out a bit better but i will be doing that with the clones that are rotting.

JNugg - I gotta say those pics do make it look like there is a lot more room in there but when the tent is all closed up the negative pressure keeps those sides sucked in pretty good. That being said, i was thinking of new ways to maxmize yeild in there and was thinking about doing individual bucket scrg's. I have never messed around with screens so im kinda interested in the whole idea just alittle unsure as to how to fill them in.

just neuted the girls they were looking quite yellow this morning. I will post some pics when i get the chance, buds are getting bigger every day

still no roots on the clones as of this morning tho

Nice grow you have going on Sednal cool to see other people rocking the same shit as me pretty much I'm a bit upset I didn't go with a sealed hood or cooltube like I originally had in mind so I'm going to have to find a way to put glass in my hood I'm thinking I can screw some kind of clamps that the glass could slide into?

 

[qwerty]

Yep, looks like the strain is living up to it's name.

 

[Thundurkel]

Yup Big Bud is an ok strain haven't seen the Sensi version though just Salmon Creek version

 

[sednal]

Yeah i'd have to say im pretty impressed with it sofar. Doesnt have the strongest smell coming from them, kinda like a mild case of bad breath with undertones of skunk. Today is day 35 and they are pretty friggin big and resin covered. Ill snaps some pics later. They're recovering from being underfed so some of the leaves are yellow but their improving daily. Im still gettin these gals dialed in with neuts it's not been the smoothest.

Clones appear to be starting to root? i do not see roots coming out of the rapid rooters but i gave a little tug on the stalks and they seem to be in there pretty well so id imagine ill see some soon, i hope. It will be 14 days tomorrow. Last time i used rapid rooters they took in 7 days but it was a different strain. They are nice and green though with no wilting what-so-ever

Today is day 42 of flower and they are looking beautiful. They look like they will be nice and ripe in the next two weeks. 1 pheno is totally different looking from the other 3 and has phenom crystal production. These photos dont capture how nice they really look but gives ya the general idea.

Heres a pic of each of the 4 plants. The second plant was given slightly more calmag and the curled leaves are the result of to much mag. The fourth plant is still trying to recover from under neuting but doing good. Has the most dense buds i have ever seen/touched. Rock hard and stinky as hell. Plant 3 is the one that is really different from the rest. much thinner leaves, and less leaves with tons of crystals and sweet smell.
