Still searching...

[kidkannabis]

It's been a long minute since i've had the chance to return to the place where I learned it all! Thanks ICMag and contributing members! Been going through alot of changes, some good some bad, but still have the passion for this hobby. Been trying to find that special girl. No, not that kind, my wife will literally stab me! i'm talking about a perfect micro strain i can call my own. I've crossed and back-crossed and tried to IB lines of several strains. Literally disposing of weak and undesireable phenos. But I'm still searching, at the same time growing out already good, known strains such as Cinderella99, NL, Skunk#1, Hashberry, Speed Queen, Miss Mud, Sugar Haze, and others I cant quite remember right now. Hopefully I can accomplish my goals with some help, guidance, and criticism from you guys (and gals) since I'm no expert . We tried buying a home but got denied. Stupid banks! So micro is my only option. And with the the fam bam getting bigger, stealthiness is a must. Speaker and PC grow cabs is what im using... again! Dammit! One day fellas, one day! (Drools over 400watters and flood tables) . So heres why you guys clicked, some pics..

I feel your pain, but at least your able to get something small setup and running which is better than just lurking this forum and looking at all the stealth grows and thinking i should do something like this.

Are you keeping a plant out doors or is that just a temp. spot

 

[kidkannabis]

yes thats an outdoor plant hiding near my tomatoes. It was gifted by a friend who couldn't keep it and since it's too big to be indoor I figured I'd keep it outside. When i first got it I accidently snap the plant in half so I stuck the top part in water and it rooted, so it's the plant and its clone. Hopefully its a female. Thanks for the interest Fuzz.

I'm glad I don't have to grow in a speaker or PC cab but admire people who do. Micro grows are a good way to learn the craft for future bigger grows.

Best of luck to you.

Kind and sincere words High Country. I appreciate it. And yes, it's a great way to learn. I know one day I'll have something similar to yours. Very inspiring. K

So a here's a small update for those interested. Been neglecting this little plants. Should've transplanted a looooooong time ago but been busy working and whatnot. Still working on my Speaker cab which I use to flower. I've remodeled it more than a couple times now, still trying to make it better each time I grow. Should be up and running in less than a week. I really need it since I don't have anything flowering at the moment. But that will change as soon as re-install my 70w HPS with a couple CFLs for proper spectrum. I gotta take clones of each plant and flower them to know their sex. Hopefully make a mom or two to accompany my lonely SSH mom which is due for a trimming for a new batch of clones in hopes to make a new mom.... My PC vegging cab measures 7.5" W x 15" L x 16" H and has a single 27w CFL cool bulb. Should I put more bulbs? temps don't get higher than 80*F with lights on and no lower than 70 with lights off. Seems to be doing the job for now. I transplanted 4 of them from 12oz cups to 16oz cups, the SSH clone has been in the 16oz cup since it rooted. I use recycled soil with eggshells and worm castings I get from my little worm farm with fresh organic soil and perlite added aswell. I add bark mulch on top of each cup to help the micro-organisms work better and keep in moisture a bit longer. Works good but I feel it can improve. suggestions? I water them every 4-5 days with O2 enriched H2O from the tap, and add superthrive and molasses every other watering. The SSH mom and clone get Alaska Fish Emulsion like once every 2 weeks. Damn that's alot of writing even for me!! So on with the pics...

....ready for a haircut

SSH clone

sativa pheno SSHxCx1 (x1 is 1st backcross and C is 3rd plant I originally chose)

Indica pheno SSHxCx1

SpeedQueenxCx1

Pretty much it for now.. Suggestions, questions, criticism, good vibes, and kudos all welcome here!

all your plants look very hungry for nitrogen. find an add to water fert with high N and low PK values. eg 10-5-5 or better... 20-5-5

Yes, I haven't had the chance to take care of 'em like I would want to. But will do. Thanks for the tip smokey.
