Help the rookie pay the bills 'eh

[Leroy Brown]

Hey don't beat yourself up man, I think things are looking killer for the most part in there. Some nice work for sure, I be following

Getting any nice stinks off the girls? Homemade seeds?

Probably came out wrong, I wasn't beating myself up, I'm pretty py as well, just had to show the bad as everyone shows the good.

Oh god yes on the smells, glad I have several clones of "120", she is a fucking brute & smells nothing like ganja, straight up fruity pebbles! I got 38 grams off of her, not including what I smoked, pulled after 5.5 weeks & the last 1.5 she wasn't doing much, wish I left her though, saw a few sterile nanners & 1 seed & freaked, I had just transplanted her to a hempy to & she had some nice fresh roots going down. Oh well. Another plant has her smell, and there is one that has a death smell, it's crazy, smells like something I would NEVER want to smoke, but it's definitely a 'good' smell coming from the buds, just smells like a rotting corpse, hehehe

Yes homemade, came from 3 different girls @ different outdoor plots. Contains a random mix of Mandala's speed queen, dna LS, rocklock, critical jack, and bagseed from dank mids. The bagseed has some really really good genetics, I had several plants outdoors that showed the same qualities, most of it is super bomb but there was 1 strain in their that is the most stemmy leafy shit that at the same time is the bombest most crystal covered stems I've ever seen. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure those genetics came out in a few of these plants from one of the males, oh well.

FTR here's the main mistakes I have made so far, want to keep them handy for the future & maybe help someone else out-

House is to big ($$$$)

I shouldn't have mixed in the biotone, especially with not letting it cook- 3 weeks in is when I started having problems, all related to to much food- the plants stopped drinking for a week or so, hps rooms the problem was compounded ten fold because the tubs were sitting on the pond liner & it stopped them from draining.

I should have been taking clones all along, not just 3 weeks in, all I would have had to do was cull the clones from plants that turned out to be males.

Stepped up the air exchange. The cold weather & already heavy heating bills made me recirculate more of the air than I would have liked, I've stepped this up a bit already and am getting even more fans today, I'll have 7 different fucking fans running tomorrow, that's craziness but I feel airflow is paramount, can't wait till it warms up a touch so I can vent more also.

Fucked up, I walked in as soon as the lights came on, stoked that there was nothing to be done, no watering etc etc & I could relax for a night, well I walk in and see more new growth within the last 24 hr's than I've seen in awhile, all is great until I notice a few seeds at the bottom of on of the sativa's (Which my buddy is certain has some haze in it btw). Some intense scrutiny reveals that same plant had a few nanners dropping the evil gold dust

Yup, EVERYTHING in EVERY room got knocked up

:Banghead

It literally must have happened within 2-3 days MAX, I am SOOOOOOOO lucky, I caught it just in the nick of time, JUST starting to form seeds. All is well though, I really did luck out & caught it just in time, just a few more days would have been a completely different scenario. I have had a lot of dead pistils for a bit now from two heavy foliar feeds during my problems, so recent ones dying escaped my view, but cutting into a few revealed everything everywhere was knocked up, little seeds the size of a pin head if that in every calyx I opened up.

Me and my mentor pulled an 8 hour trim session & blasted through about 2/3rds-3/4 of it by the time the sun came up, I'd estimate that there was two weeks left on almost everything but STILL pulled off a bumper crop & am expecting at least 2.5 lb's, which I would be very happy with.

It's funny I wasn't that impressed but everyone on here assured me things were rockin'....... well once I started snapping off forearm size cola's my view changed, even the plants I thought were doing the worst had some weight on them.

More pics & dry weight coming soon

Looks good man! Not bad for a noob!

A lot of use that started before the big boom had to learn from trial and error and now this site is a god send! Good job on keeping it nice! Can't wait to see how you progress through out the years

Hey when life gives you lemons make cannabutter out of them bad luck dude.

 

[Leroy Brown]

Nah no need for anything to go into the hash pile, I was actually surprised even all the bottom shit was 'trimmable', my outdoors I toss a lot of bottom nug into my trim pile but this pile has nothing but leaves in it.

Pretty sure I still managed at least .5 grams per watt, probably closer to .75, but I really have no clue for the next few days until it's all dry, which is driving me absolutely nuts waiting, but for sure I have a 15' piece of 12 gauge wire that is hanging to the floor with tons of nugget from end to end that is all dank. I had 8 hours of trim help from a buddy who has ran as much as 3 perpetual 5K ops at once, and he swears I have at least 4p's, I think it's less but we will know soon enough. If it was one person trimming it took 22hr's.

Can't wait to see how you progress through out the years

hehehe, thanks, I'm totally hooked & everything should get better & better.

 

[Leroy Brown]

hahahaha, pretty crazy that I had some severe overfert, drainage problems, and then had to pull everything whicked early because of some damn fairies spreading dust.

Still managed 1,100 grams, .4/watt, 2.5lb's total. If I factor in what I harvested a few weeks ago I almost hit 1/lb per 1k, which ain't to shabby. If it wasn't so damn scraggly it would be my best shit yet, it still almost is asides from bag appeal because it's a touch scraggly (There was more popcorn than I thought). Either way it's dank as shit, get's you blasted, and I can get good money for it.

Second run starting soon, lots & lots of work to be done, I'm hoping to hit the same total yield with 1000 watts less (need to veg the OD's) and 1.5 months less of veg, probably a bit optimistic but here's hoping.

There is SOOOOOOOO much work to be done, more than at any other point in the grow, between all the trimming (done of course) AND setting up for the next run, AND working on the outdoors, AND all the fucking dirt & trim EVERYWHERE I've got to put some serious time in, 6/hr's per day for the next 10 days I think. I managed to make it to this point with it being a nightly hobby, but now is when it really becomes a 2nd full time job, but I'm loving it.

Hopefully I'll have some pics soon, all of the good shots are on my buds camera
