Whats Up Guys???

I started this thread in the Outdoor Forum but decided I should move it to the AF forum. These were previous posts...

Figured it was time to get my 2009 thread started. I'm going to be growing some Jem's. Last year I got these AF seeds, but due to rainy fall weather I wasn't able to grow them. This is the first time I've tried growing AF's. Last year I put a couple mothers I had on 24-0 light schedule outside and budded them in the spring time. I want to try and make this perpetual by planting seeds every month or so. Just keep rotating them in keeping the females and culling the males. However this first run so I'm going to try to make some seed stock. As of right now I have 3 Females and 2 males. 3 More plants haven't shown sex yet. I started them about 3 weeks ago. We had rain for a few days but since then its been in the 80s to 90s. They should start to take off right now...

Anyways here's the pics.

Whats up guys?

Time for an update.

I repoted the confirmed females into a 5 gallon pot. Hit them with a lil bit of nutes and they seem be taking off. They were staying pretty short for awhile but now are starting to stretch. I have one male still in a small pot. I want to try and stunt it for a few weeks till the females need to be pollinated. Temps have been in the 80s lately. Perfect growing weather...

Heres some pics from today...

Alright Guys these are recent pics from today...

Temps have cooled off this week. We went from low 90s to mid 70s. I was out doing some yard work today and even felt a few springs. Couple of thunder storms moving through. I'll take this cooler weather over that near 100 degree temps we had a few weeks ago though ha... Plants have been fattening up slowly. I think I need to start hittin them with some bloom ferts soon. They looked a little light green when I was uploading the pics right now. The two confirmed males I have look like they may start opening up next week sometime. I will most likely collect the pollen then put it on the fems a few weeks later. I still have 2 plants that look to be the same genetics but have not showed any sign of sex yet.... I don't know whats up with them. I'm about to pull the one that's in the 5 gallon pot with the females out so they get more light. I like how it looks more sativa though. would be nice to cross the lankier sativa genes with the shorter female genes... Check out the two males I have going in the small pot still. One is that nice sativa that hasn't shown sex and the other is some kinda Freakie with weird leaves. It has balls all over it though. I'm going to mix both males pollen to get as much of a mix in genes as i can for this seed run.

Here's the pics.

Check out the lil Stumpie in the back... ha

how big are the containers and what type of mix is in them?

i see a bit of purple in a few of them

HookaHittaH · 06-03-2009, 05:13 PM

Bob J - I put all my confirmed females in that one , 5 gallon pot. The soil mix is just some Super Soil. I think the next run I will mix a little bit of perilite in there so the soil doesnt pack down as much. I will try germing the seeds directly in the bigger pot to avoid any transplant shock too...

what newts are you using,, and how much/often do you water them??... for the JEMS they are very yellow and no where near normal size of growth for that age.

to me it looks like lack of water. Putting a 1/4 -1/2 GPH dripper in there would be excellent... outdoor larger pots require more water then most people think. Completely soak them so water almosts starts to stand on the top of the soil,, or starts pouring out of bottom. I have Super Soil myself, and I mix it with 1/3 perlite, much better results. I also use VF-11 every week, at 2oz per gallon.

HookaHittaH · 06-03-2009, 06:33 PM

ICC - Ive just been using light doses of Miracle Grow. Yeah I know what you mean about soaking them thats what I ussually do. I just checked on them right now and they look a lot more green today. I think they were pale because it was so overcast yesterday. I just remembered I have some Fox Farm Beastie Bloomz. I'm goin to mix some up and water them real good today. They were stunted a little bit from some poor weather we had when I started them. For the most part theyve stayed really short and compact. This is pretty much my first run with this strain or any AF strain so I am learning as I go. I mostly want seeds anyways from this run. When do you guys think I should try to hit them with some pollen? I was thinking in about 2 weeks or so when there is more bud development.

They need food, and some larger containers, bad.

thatguy123 · 06-04-2009, 12:32 AM

I heard about 3rd week of flowering is the best time to hit them with pollen mate. It's better to pollinate them when theres more pistils for more seeds. They are looking allright mate, you will be impressed on how they fattened up.

The best time to pollenate is actually between week 5-6 just right before they start getting thier frist red hairs. then let them go for at least 3-4 more weeks to ensure maximum ripe seeds.

Oh that is why,, they need MUCH more food, JEMS can take a lot of food. you are starving them. Go buy some Fish Emulsion 5-1-1 and JUICE them they will love you for it. WalMart and get some Alaska Fish, and you will see a difference in just a few days.
