A Bunch Of Herbs Inna De Wardrobe

sLai*kRoLa · Jun 15, 2011

Well first of all i must say Big Thank You to ICmag crew and members. My progress in this hobby would have been much slower without your help.
Here's the proof that i'm mooving forward: scale is A4 sheet of paper ->

It was the same Master Kush plant (White Label), same nutes, same amount of soil, same bulb (150w hps), same plant number (3). Only difference is that the first one had simple LST treatment.

The second one was scrogged. Like that ->

And that pot of scrog under 150hps produced ~65g of bud.

ENOUGH RETROSPECTION

P.S. As you already noticed i don't have REAL camera, so you will have to bear these crappy phone quality pictures.

De WARDROBE

De WARDROBE

Sooo.... the wardrobe aka the herbmill

Only 1/3 of it is dedicated to cultivation. Some pics from the creation of the unit:

Flower section is 50x56x125cm.
The unit is equiped with 150w hps. At first i used it with diy hood.

But i fell for the vert setups, so from now on it's just a bare bulb.

Genetics are from local breeder.
Critical Haze (reg) - NL5 Haze x Critical Mass. These are 3 plants along the right wall in plastic bottles. They have very indica looking leaves, but it's no surprise as it has ~60% of afghan in it.

White Diesel (fem) - NYCD x WW hybrid. 3 little ones in front. Going almost 12/12 from seed (maybe one or two days under 24/0).

Skudley Jamaican (reg) - In 3l pots in the left corner. For me this one is the most interesting.

Grow medium is simple peat based potting soil amended with organic compost and worm castings, dolomite lime and some perlite. Pots are not big and i dont have floor-space for bigger ones but i have lots of head space, so i'm going to up-pot.
As for the nutrients i have Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Topmax and some liquid kelp called Seasol (made in Australia).

So practically thats it for now :wave:

Thats the info from the page i bought my seeds from and it is probably the only info on the net, as far as i know.

Was wandering maybe somebody here knows something more, because there are lots of older folks who might have some memories left from these times when something called Skudley was on the market. According to the vendor, the guy that grew them, had his bussines all across the southern coast of England...

Right now i'm soaking my seeds and tonight they are going into the dirt. The germination rate is supposed to be very low (~50%) but who cares, i'm digging into history

Male Female Shemale

Male Female Shemale

So... I know what i grow now...
All Jamaicans turned out to be females :dance013:

(hopefully won't turn into shemales...). One of them doesn't strech at all, but is quite bushy... I took cuttings from all of them.

From Critical H. trio only one turned out to be she... Not really a bad thing, it won't get too crowded. After all it's my first time with these seeds and i don't know how they will behave in flowering.

Critical Boys...

One of them has cool natural Y shape. It grew in style from the begining.

And finally baby W. Diesels. As long as they are femmed, shemaleism is the only worry. These are going to be translpanted in 3l pots today or tomorrow... err... soon...

Mrpiston38 · Jun 16, 2011

well they all look great, bummer about the males but that happpens. i have to ask tho how did u get the PC fan to work with reg power? i have yet to be able to get one to work. i mean i just hook red/red and black/black and it trys to turn once and then starts smoking. any tips?

sLai*kRoLa · Jun 16, 2011

You need AC/DC adapter not bigger than 12V, or you might use mobile phone charger but they are pretty weak.

AC/DC adapter is rather cheap buy, usually they are variable from 3 to 12V. Just check Amps, if you planning to hook up more than one cooler...

Thanx for checking in :tiphat:

Krshna · Jun 16, 2011

Looks like a solid little vert setup you got goin on there, I'll be keepin an eye on it!

Bud Buddington · Jun 16, 2011

Looking good, I got the same PC fan in my setup. The blades on those things are sharp. I put it close to my face when I first wired it and a blade hit my lip. Yes I was stoned at the time...

azad · Jun 16, 2011

Real nice neat,well designed herbmill you have runing.and a fine selection of strains too.
i'll be keeping an eye on it..atb...thanks

sLai*kRoLa · Jun 16, 2011

Krshna, hare hare! You're welcome!

Bud B, they need to put a sticker: don't lick it while it's spinning...

azad, thanx for flattering my vanity.

Preflowering big time

Preflowering big time

J.S. girl. Simple training...

Green circle :smoke out:

Had some plans about little seed making, but this time it seems that my Critical boys will meet death soon, because lots of travelling awaits, so no time for hobby breeding. I hope my girls will endure dry days without me. I tnink i'll be able to get back every 4 days for 2-3 weeks starting next week....Someway...Somehow...
:tiphat:

Krshna · Jun 19, 2011

lookin good in there! you could try rigging up a wick system to keep them watered/semi watered while youre gone.. might buy you an extra day or 2. good luck!

sLai*kRoLa · Jul 13, 2011

5 weeks in 12/12

killerweed31 · Jul 13, 2011

your vert. style look so good bro, ill be watching the progress!!

sLai*kRoLa · Jul 16, 2011

Thanx KW31!

Well, finally i found time to do some posting. I had familly vacations, so i was busy visiting relatives, rowing kayaks, drinking beer and digging wells on the beach, picking cherries etc, etc, yesterday i was picking honey... busy weeks i had... not much time spent stareing inside the wardrobe. But herbs are alive and growing, a bit thirsty, though...
By the way, pics were taken few days ago...

SO... White Diesel... they are not anymore the seedlings you saw few weeks ago.

Critical Haze is kinda dwarfish (short veg time and ~1gal of soil sure did something to it), but i like structure and stickyness, yeah it's sticky allright, sad that i have no means to show you how she glitters...

And West Indian trio: -->
