Quick update,

Plants were switched to 12/12 on Saturday night. I'm hoping switching them on Halloween would make for some hauntingly good smoke, HAHA!

I took pics just before the flip that ill post tonight.

Holla If you're as excited as I am

 

[growMEDS]

Congrats on flippng to 12/12!

 

[Mk3Jetta]

Hells ya now the buds can arrive!

I like your halloween thoughts!

 

[Hella THC]

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

MWAHH HAHA AAH AHH!!

Welcome one and all to this special belated Halloween update... now with 100% more flowering!​

Well, here are the pictures I promised. To Hell with the explanations... I'll just present the ladies in all their glory and let them do all the talking. I'll post the pics in the same order I have been all along; Plants 1-5. One shot has a shot of a pre flower, but it's still not quite showing sex... it's hard to tell from the picture and difficult to tell when looking at the plant itself, but my heart tells me it's a girl

On with the show!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I gave this little one a haircut to get some under growth action
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So overall, I'm stoked to see what happens in the coming weeks.

My question is, would it be alright to transplant to 1 gal containers within the next 3-4 days? They are really drinking fast and loving the nutes and their pots are just under 1/2 liter. The little ones will be fine in their smaller containers, but the bigger ones might want to explode.

Thank you all for stopping by!

All the best,

- Hella

right on... grats on the switch. now its only a short matter of time until u see the fruits of your labor.

 

[Hella THC]

Thanks Dr!

Also thanks to growMEDS and mk3 for stopping by again.

Aren't they looking so good? Well, besides the retards, but even one them is really taking off.

Plant 3, which was both topped and super cropped, has so many potential bud sites and is looking so bushy, it's exciting to see!

They really started to reward me once they recovered from an early in life ass kicking haha.

Anyone have an answer for my transplant question?

 

[growMEDS]

Those babies are looking great bro!
I would transplant soon. When in flower I think it takes them longer to recover from the transplant compared to in veg.

 

[Hella THC]

Thanks MEDS! I think ill probably transplant either tonight or tomorrow. I have a bunch of empty one gallon water jugs that I'll just modify into pots. This should give them plenty of room for any stretch and root growth.
Hey Tripsick, you still lurkin around in here? Come say hi!

 

[Fuzz420]

Whoa they look nice and lush. Very healthy plants you have there keep up the good work

Im with growmeds

 

[Hella THC]

Thanks Fuzz! They surprise me every time I look at them.

Consider how slow they were in the beginning and look at them now.

Nature produces miracles. Look at them go!

 

[#1cheesebuds]

wow wow wow. they look kick ass now. rock on brotha man.
Im deff gunna watch this one fo sho.

 

[Strangely]

Looking goof Hella, very bold pruning and they seem to be loving it! In (very) humble opinion I'd say they're more than ready to transplant and like growMEDS I've also heard they recover better in veg than flower. Go for it!

 

[Hella THC]

Thanks, cheese. Hopefully it will be quite the show

Thanks for stopping by, Strangely

I'm going to transplant to the 1 gallon containers tonight... I think... if I'm not too tired. The sooner I do it the better though. Last time I transplanted, they showed zero signs of stress and made the adjustment immediately, so I don't really anticipate an issue this time around either. Plus, bigger pots = less frequent watering... these bitches drink like a couple Irishmen, it's ridiculous!

3/5 are showing unidentifiable pre flowers, so I'll be keeping an eye on those. God I hope they are girls.

A few of the plants (namely 1, 2 and 3) are really putting off the stank! When I rustle them to check their inter nodes, they just throw off the best skunky dank smell... it's very strong!! Puts a smile on my face

Gave them plain water last night in preparation for bloom nutes. I figure a little flush wouldn't hurt before I make the switch.

Thanks for following along guys. I know I ramble a lot, but I like making progress notes. I do it more for me than anyone else... this thread will serve as a good journal to look back on.

Keep it green,

- Hella

I found a random seed the other night that I've decided to try and germinate. I think it was from some Mexi Brick but I'm willing to try regardless. I'll just throw it in 12/12 from seed with the others and see what happens. Should be kinda fun.

 

[Hella THC]

It's a very sad day in Hella's garden.

I found a confirmed 100% male and tossed him last night. It was the taller of the two retards.

Out of the remaining 4, three are showing almost absolute signs of being males. These are the three I posted pics of... you can see for yourself they are the start of balls, but I need your feedback before I toss them. Males or not they sure still look pretty.

My only hope(s) right now is the short retard that has yet to even show pre flowers, and the un germinated seed that will hopefully pop in the next few days.

I'm really fucking disappointed guys. I guess you gotta take your lumps sometimes. But still, lots of time and work has been invested and I'm really fuckin bummin.

At least I was able to snag some BOG Lifesaver and Blue Moon Rocks from the bay this morning.

Fuck my life,

The first pic looks male, the second looks questionable. I feel your pain main. My current grow has two ladies flowering, one in week 5, one in week 2.5. And they arent the plants I intended to be flowering this round. I germed 4 White Widow seeds and 4 Bubblelicious seeds and only ended up with one single female out of 8 plants. So instead of flowering out the immature Bubblelicious I pulled her out of flower to reveg into a mom, which has not gone well at all, and added two AK48 clones into the flower box.

Fortunate I love AK48, the strain amazes me with how uniform it actual is. Later today I'm going to germ my other 6 WW beans and hope this time I get a few ladies. This is the chance we take on reg beans bro. My recommendation for a small grow is to buy feminized seeds. Not much more money but your almost 100% guaranteed to have females. All of my AK48 beans were female, they were feminized. Only one hermied late in flower and produced one immature seed, but that was my fault due to stress.

Keep it up man, you will end up with some ladies soon enough. Once you confirm a female clone her, at least 3 clones. Make one a mom and throw the other ones into flower. Good luck bro. Peace

 

[Hella THC]

The second one is looking more hermi than anything. No pistils, but it's almost "opening" and forming mini nanners which you can kind of see from the photo.

I'll stick with it for sure, just really bummed.

I already decided to start using fem seeds long ago because I don't like the stress of not knowing. I'm only getting reg seeds when there's no other option, such as this latest BOG release.

And as of now, I have no place to keep a mom, so if there is a female, I'll be trying to clone her and then just flower the clones. I really need some smoke.

I hate working with these un known genetics anyway. Too bad I have no room for males either... these are some STINKY ass dudes. Would be fun to breed with.

 

[guest 77721]

I'd make some seeds. At the gowing rate of $10 to $20 a seed, it's worth collecting a bit of pollen to fertilize a couple of popcorn buds. I used Pirate's targeted pollenation method on my last grow. Worked like a charm!

 

[Strangely]

Dude that's rough. If it makes you feel better I ran out last night, so I'm litterally feeling your pain! What did you mean re latest BOG release? Either way it's all good practice getting your methods dialed in, as little a comfort as that may be.

Chin up champ!!
