@Glaus, have a link or instructions on the DIY smartpots?

Glaus, I too have just learned about proper flushing. It's not just watering with plain water. To properly flush you need to run 3 times the voulme of water slowly through the pot. For example, if you have a 1 gallon pot, to flush you need to run 3 gallons of water through. Makes sense. To get out all the nutes, you really got to rinse well.

 

[Glaus]

I have grown in organic soil before, the flushing was a piece of cake.
However with coco you have to flush like a mad man

 

[MeLikesPCs]

Oh. I have never tried coco. Lots of patience needed for many things...

The 4th light I put in caused a rise in temp, so I installed an 80mm fan blowing across the bulb. Hopefully this will bring temps back down.

Day 127 - It's over

Day 127 - It's over

Flipped light to 12/12 11 days ago.

These are the best looking MALES I have ever grown.

O well, one day I'll get some females in here.

Thanks all, sorry for the dissapointing end.

This grow is done. Time to kill these bastards and shed a tear.

At least I know all the kinks are out and next time will be smooth sailing.

Hey MeLikesPC's, 2 words. Feminized seeds!

 

[fonzee]

if you don't have any females around why don't you flower these males and keep some pollen?
They look great.

 

[MeLikesPCs]

Thanks Glaus.

:-(, if I buy some fem seeds then I gotta deal with cloning, which I'm not ready for. I want to keep things as simple as possible.

Thanks Fonz, great idea. One of these plants was completely different than all other plants. Leaves never got spots or any problems, not too much stretch, and the plant has a sort of rubbery feel to it. I would love to see a female version of it. These two really turned out so well--the best I have grown. Such a shame they turned out male.

Next time I'm going to minimize veg, and flower much earlier. Bagseed again, or maybey get some LowRyders or something.

Whats cloning has to do with fem seeds?

Either way, cloning can be as simple as dropping a few branches in a glass of water and putting it on the dimmest corner of your cab. They root.

Why are sticking with bagseeds?

 

[Anti]

If i had easy access to good genetics, cloning would not stop me from acquiring them.

CLoning is easy. You take a bunch of cuts from your mom, use one of the methods on the site (peat pucks are great!) and you just make sure the rootzone doesn't dry out and voila! Roots!

Never again let that choice plant die! Keep your best plant from each from-seed run and have beautiful variety.

 

[Glaus]

If you can grow two males that beautiful I am pretty sure that you can root a clone.
And as a plus you can enjoy the ancient art of making bonsai mothers of your favourite strains. This is from the first seed that I grew.

The only way to get the hang of cloning is IMO trial and error.

 

[MeLikesPCs]

I can’t produce more seeds from fem seeds. If I want to continually use fem seeds I would have get some, then take clones, because I will run out of seeds.

But I hear you guys, cloning should not be very hard.

Nice pic Glaus.

 

[fonzee]

you could cross females to each other by feminized pollen production with colloidal silver.
Or you could keep some good pollen and seed up a female and use these seeds later on.

But clones are usually faster and you know what to you get.
