First journal, second grow - bag seeds

problems again

problems again

Im preparing a transplant tonight and did cheked the plants a few minutes again and noticed one of them have burned second set of leafs at tips. havent given them nothing but plain tap water (sit for a few days).
Can it be from my tap water (ph7.5)? Anyway they get the transplant tonight couse my gues is rootbound.
Im even thinking of swithcing to distiled water but its pH is so unstable.

Whats been cooking around

Whats been cooking around

Well, i have been away for a bit long time. Changed living place, had some stuff to do.
So what have hapened. I got some good seeds, some Lowrider, i dont know if its mixed with other genes, but its Autoflower and hte guy who gave them to me said they are Lowrider. The plant on the picture showd sex at day 20-25. They were 3 at the start but 2 males showed and i removed them.
The plant is ~42 days old from the time it broke the soil.
Sorry for the pics i took them with my phone.
I think if i had started it in the container that it is in now, it could have got a bit bigger!

you shoulda kept a male, you cant clone autoflower genes, now you will have to get more seeds for the next grow.

I did left the 2 males until the first pistils poped, and left them a few days to do their magic since i havent polinated before, when i removed them i did shaked them a bit and i hope it got some polen. I still have like 10 seeds from these.
I was wondering when i should harvest her? Is she needing 60 days from the first flowers or 60 days from poping the soil?

 

[stihgnobevoli]

[stihgnobevoli]

to post big pictures you have to post then edit the post, go to advanced and click forum albums. when you are in the forum album window click on a picture to see the full size, then drag and drop it into the edit window.

Kursor - ty mate, i realy adore her
stihgnobevoli - i have posted bigger pictures before but couldnt remember how i did it, thx for the advice i will try it next time.

Today is day 51 from her poping out the soil. I contacted the guy who gave me the seeds since he have grown these Lowriders before and he stated that i should aim for 60-70 days from poping the soil. I will follow his advice and cross fingers for my newbish polinating to have come true and get some more seeds, if not then next time. Will keep you updated guys.

05.11.2010 - I choped her, and left her upside down in the pc with the lights off for 2 days, and as of today she is in the back chamber of the pc becouse the main chamber have 2 containers with seeds in them and im planning on putting 2 more containers.

I have managed to polinate her, i only hope that the seeds are matured good enough. Here is how she looks

 

[stihgnobevoli]

not bad, you got you some nice smoke, now you have to feed your addiction to growing.

 

[archer66]

thx mate, i realy hope that the seeds are matured so i can return the favor to the buddy who gave them to me. I dont think that that plant will have the time to cure, im eager to test it and probably me and my girl we will smoke it .
The important thing is that i finished my first indoor plant and i managed to polinate it.
That PC case is performin verry good, and these Lowriders are perfect for it. I just have to replace the intake filter pad, exhaust fan + the carbon filter and probably the lights. The lights have 10000h lifetime given by the manufacturer , but i supose their efficiensie is lowered already

Back in the game !!!

Back in the game !!!

I've been away for a wile, smokin and germinating . That lowrider plant was a good smoke, but it didnt lasted to dry enough and i cant tell the actual grams. Since 19.11 my PC is ocupied again, i have 3 lowriders they sprowted 19 , 21 and 28 of november. I have the bad feeling that the first one is a male but i'll w8 a few more days just to be sure. Im still wondering should i try this time without polinating any girls or to polinate them.

The pictures i'll try to post are taken 2.12.2010. The plants now run at 24/7 since the temps in the room where the PC is are verry low ~59F and with the lights on all the time PC temp is 71F. I will install higher Wattage bulbs when i get my payment so i can bring temps up, now they are 2x25W.

 

[archer66]

And here they are :

That thing here is the carbon filter in the back chamber where electrical stuff lies, if anyone is interested i can try explain how i made it

Update

Update

As i suspected the oldest one became male, i decidet to left it inside until it spreads the pollen and polinate the middle one as it is now a "she". As the yongest one is looking like male to me, will wait to see if im right. With these ratios (2males 1 female) i think i'll need alot if seeds.
There is some bad things: temps in the case are low as 62F at the bottom of the case, but plants are growing and thats good.
The other bad thing is that my exhaust fan is not performing as it should and i dont know if its the adapter or the fan.
