....today was the first day i opened the garden and was smacked in face by odor.....:woohoo:

this is the left side of the canopy... 'yellow' in front, 'white' behind her, and 'red' in the back right.... that pile of leaf on the lower right is 'blue'...she smells fruity and yummy.... the other girls have a kinda 'medicine' almost menthol behind 'em...

nice stuff man! love it :D great info and pics look hot!

darwin

thnx dog... i recently switched from a cell phone camera to a little sony with a bad ass macro function...


Really nice pics. You have a green thumb for cloning. Lucky you!
What do you think of headband?

when you wanna give super easy cloning a go let me know... more than happy to share how it works, headband... og kush and sour diesel... sounds spectacular.


Digging the journal, general. A friend just grabbed some of the these beans.

if you know where he got them i would like to know... i have a pack of 'cheddarwurst', it's the UK cheese cut pollinated with the same spacedawg male as the 'cannabis' chemD cut... i like alpha's gear so far... 3 of my 4 girls are identical and the male looked the same as the 3. still have 5 beans.


picture.php


... i've been collecting pollen all week...

picture.php


... this weekend it's time for these girls to get busy, these pics are of 'red'...

picture.php


i dig the trich production going on here...at 3 weeks and 5 days...

tomorrow or the next we chuck some pollen... that leaves 6 weeks for seed maturity and harvest at week 10.... that's all subject to change of course.

4 weeks....

4 weeks....

the girls each got a branch pollinated sun. night... which is mon. morning to them... it was a very enjoyable porn sess, took it nice and slow ... 70's porn style...and didn't let pollen get out of hand...

each seed branch has a colored collar which will stay on through drying and harvesting to keep track of which mother the beans are from...

picture.php



picture.php


got some random pics while the girls were out...

'yellow'...

picture.php


trich's...

picture.php


UFO bud....'yellow's fim.

picture.php


more trich's...

picture.php


ok... party's over.... girls back in the closet....

this is 'yellow's side...

picture.php


...and the whole crew... sure are pretty ladies.. stinky too.

picture.php



random notes....

yellow and white are the largest.... white has more, heavier trichomes and thicker looking buds (due to thicker pistils perhaps).... red is smaller in every way... leaves, buds, general size... but is the frostiest out of the crew..... just ahead of white, barely.... blue still has small buds, lots of 'em, all the way down the branches... lots of leaf, i'm starting to remove some of it.... she smells exactly like lemon candy... 'lemon drops'... i'm like a bee... can't keep my nose off her.... the other girls and the male all have a heavy petrol funk, with a citrus tone... and something kinda medicinal, menthol ... over all like huffing gas while eating mentholated, canned cat food....

straight outta the can....

5 weeks.....

5 weeks.....

'blue'.... odd girl out... smell's exactly like the Martian Mean Green i got from my provider.
picture.php



'yellow'.... top of a side branch... she's the grower.
picture.php



'red'.... extreme trich girl... smaller in size... has that fucking potent look.
picture.php


'white'.... the grower with the trich's... think she's gonna be my keeper.... thicker bud's, heavier trich's....
picture.php


speaking of trich's....

'white's clone... growing trich's in veg, she's never seen anything but 16/8.... another visual + to why she may be the one...
picture.php



10 days after pollination.... monster seeds...
picture.php


picture.php


...seeded bud's sure are pretty.


canopy pics....
picture.php


picture.php



random thoughts....

white has red's trich's and yellow's vigor to a very slight, lesser extent... almost impossible to see. her clone is growing trich's in veg... continued to grow while rooting, and all of a sudden is the largest of 4 clones... won't decide till i smoke 'em... but she may be the one to advance to the next stage of pollen chucking.... Bx or f3, or both...not sure.

blue is still growing very different, her sugar leaves roll tightly on the edges, like joints.... and she smells like a lemon drop... yum

yellow... can see a z. of smoke on her now... in 5 weeks...:dunno:

red... this girls buds look magical... she may move to the outdoor phase of the project in july.... she showed symptoms of 'wet feet', stopped watering twice, cured... she had a family of fungus gnats move in, from my vegy garden no doubt, some DE shut 'em down instantly ... my problem child i guess.

got over 2 decades under my belt gardening... this has so far been one of my favorite grows... i'm enjoying it very much.

hybrid nutrient technique..

hybrid nutrient technique..

jaam... welcome..... i'm very pleased with alpha's gear ... no wonder the world loves the chem genetics.... these girls are growers for sure.

you gonna post some pics....? would like to see yours come up... and see what you get for males....


HyNT... hybrid nutrient technique...

was turned on to this method of feeding, by board member pray4pistils, before his untimely disappearance in mid-april... i sure hope he's safe and all is well in his world.... once i get this dialed in i'll start a new HyNT thread, for him....
before pistils pointed me in the proper direction, i was feeding with botanicare's hydrogarden formula on weekdays, and with brewed organic tea's on weekends... pistils taught me to simply combine the two into a living, breathing, synthetic/organic hybrid nutrient solution, teaming with beneficial bacterial and fungal micro-organisms.... supplying the root zone with pre-digested, ready to consume nutrients, and fighting off harmful bacteria and disease....

at least this is the theory behind the HyNT and i must say...aside from 'red's minor problems, both very simply corrected, these girls are the epitome of health... no def. toxicity or lock out, no curling, burnt, dried or fried tips... nothing overly pale or dark... just growth from day to day...

vegatative stage...all measurements are per 1 gl.

tea.. brewed in r/o, ph 6.0
1 tsp. black strap molasses
1 tsp. liquid alaska fish fertilizer
1 cup earth worm castings
1 tsp. fox farm happy frog all purpose dry fertilizer
1 tsp. soil secrets earth ambrosia
1 tsp. soil secrets earth nectar

nutes.. mixed in aerated tap at 0.5 ec and ph 8.2
1 tsp PBP grow
1 tsp. liquid karma
1 tsp. aqua shield

tea is brewed over a 48 hour period... all ingredients are combined - the molasses, which is added around 24 hours...

tea and nutes were combined 1:2 for a total ec of 2.5... this was diluted to 1.0 ec and ph'd to 5.5-6.0. fed daily, drain to waste.

flower stage...

tea... brewed in r/o at 0. ec, ph 6.0
1 tsp. fox farm happy frog all purpose fertilizer
1 tsp. high P bat guano
1 cup earth worm castings
1 tsp. maxi-crop liquid
1 tsp. soft rock phosphate
1 tsp. soil secrets earth ambrosia
1 tsp. soil secrets earth nectar
1 tsp. black strap molasses

nutes...mixed in tap at 0.5 ec, ph 8.2
2 tsp PBP bloom (3 weeks) or soil (weeks 4 - flush)
1 tsp. liquid karma
1 tsp. sweet
1 tsp. aqua shield
1 tsp. ginormous (humboldt nutrients)
1 tsp. rhino skin or 1/4 tsp. pro-tekt

same tea brewing protocol....

tea and nutes are combined 1:3 for a total ec of 2.0 - 2.5, combined rez is amended with 1/2 tsp. subculture b for good measure and kept on aeration....

the hybrid nutrient solution is diluted with aerated tap to my desired ec, ph'd to 5.5 - 6.0 and fed daily drain to waste.

was going to go as high as 2.5 ec but the girls look so happy and are about as dense as need be so nute strength will stay at 2.0 ec... 0.5 being my tap and 1.5 being the nute/tea combo...the hybrid nutrient solution. in the future i will only use the HyNT in flower... i run a perpetual grow and don't need to overwhelm myself...i only veg a little anyways.

2 major +'s here for me.... i'm now using my tap, aerated of course, and i'm no longer fuking around with cal-mag+... wanted it out of my grow and it's gone...

i posted this for my own personal future reference but am more than happy to answer any questions or hear any thoughts ...

week 7....

week 7....

'red's clone... she gets another run inside...

picture.php



'red's top... she certainly responded well to the FIM...

picture.php



'yellow's top... my UFO bud...

picture.php



'blue's top... one of a kind amongst her siblings, at one time my favorite plant in the garden, soon after i was ready to blow her off... this uniqueness has earned her 1 of 2, 25 gl. containers out back with the vegy garden... in fact her clone has been out there for 3 days now in a 1 gl. container in roots organic707... i have 25gl. of sub's supersoil cooking for 2 weeks now... she'll re-pot once or twice than move into the 25gl. container, bottom 1/3 supersoil, top 2/3 roots707, to veg for july... than flower accordingly in august...

picture.php



'white's top... was gonna go out with 'blue' but now i see she has bud flop... this is gonna make me think some more...:wallbash:...

picture.php



the canopy...

picture.php




random stuff...

for about a week temps late in the light cycle were nearing the 90's... no problem as i shoot for a subtropical temp of 85... just glad things leveled off...84.2 now.

this was the last week of feeding at 2.0 ec... now they're feeding at 1.0 ec.... flush starts in 3 days.... 10 to 14 days i think

just scoped some trichs... big fukers, mostly clear... some clouds... 1 or 2 amber...

i like to take a couple pre-flush tester nuggets for contrast... as i try to dial in flushing. just cut the first... my first sample of something from the chem line coming up soon... judging from the smells and the grease smeared on my fingers... i think i'll be happy.

odors..... rotting flesh, a very strong cleaning product, lemon drops/lemon jolly ranchers... these seem to blend into a very pungent stench that first, instantly repulses my nose, then instantly pulls it back in for a second 'what the fuk is that....', the clones smell like cat piss...lol


it truly is a repulsive yet intoxicating odor..... i like it

General- how old are the 2 plants in dixie cups in your April 22 post ?
( From the day you wet the seeds)
I want to keep mine going as long as that before transplanting.
Thanks

General- how old are the 2 plants in dixie cups in your April 22 post ? (From the day you wet the seeds)

this particular grow had a good 4 weeks of stunted growth if not more from my impatient ass feeding them too young...

5 weeks from seed ,and 10" is where i like to flip and transplant at... thats the size of these plants in that pic...at 10 weeks or something ridiculous like that... :wallbash:

my veg/clone box is minimal at 78w from 3 twisty 6500K cfl's and runs 16/8... vegging plants get several hours a day of high desert sun as well... unless they're growing too fast... my current situation.


random porn.... while i'm in the garden...

flush starts in two days... girls are getting thick...

picture.php



tried to get in on some trich's... sketchy pic but i like it...

opening calyx...

General I think a half of one of those small leaves on the bud would put me out. Please tell us about the camera and lighting etc.
The photos are excellent !

GG those are looking awesome bud.... I cant wait for you to harvest!!

... you and me both.... btw, i dig your phenotype names on your pics.


HIGH CLASS MAN, GREAT+++

thnx weed... much appreciated.

i started this thread with my droid camera.. was doing ok but couldn't get anything close up... i tried the macro function on every camera at best buy i half way liked...this little sony exmore10.2megapixel slapped 'em all... was a bit pricey but my laptop is a sony and i love it...

as far as lighting... i've tried shooting in the dark with the flash to get the true colors of the plant but hate it.... i don't function well in the dark and need to see what i'm shooting...i don't get the true colors of the plant but the HPS and LED light blend make for some pretty cool pics anyways...

here's some i just took of the pre-flush test nugget i chopped at midnight/lights on... the real colors of the bud are fuking outrageous....

i get these gnarley white fraggle head crystaline entity nugget tops on the LED side of my closet... perhaps the LED/HPS combo is a bit much... blows out the chlorophyll somehow...

the fraggle heads go exponential with their trich count and are by far the most potent smokey treats out of the closet... perhaps i'll call 'em fluffy bunnies....

picture.php



green calyx busting out of the fluffy bunnie...

picture.php



sparkley purple and green highlights....

picture.php



if jolly rancher had the flavor putrid or lemon rotting flesh .... this bud is what it would smell like....

the girls get their last dose of nutes right now.... i want a good fade on these girls... plan on 2 full weeks depending on trich maturity.

weed... thnx again.

zebulon... welcome, that bud was yummy...

these are the clones... and where they're gonna bloom.

'blue'... out

'yellow'... in
picture.php


'white'... in
picture.php


'red'... out
picture.php


'white' has bad bud flop... my arms got stupid sticky trying to prop a bud... ended up hanging it from one of yellow's branches...

'red' was the smallest, all around, early in flower... now she sports the largest buds on the smallest frame... her clone is now living outback in the vegy garden with 'blue'... they couldn't be happier... this is her massive 4 cola top...

picture.php


...i'm gonna keep shooting pics of this thing till it stops growing.

'yellow's pre-flush nugget was delicious ... i could take her now... she has an extreme petrol/fuel/solvent terpene that sticks in my lungs and sinus cavity long after the exhale... very much like my last bag of sourD...

attempting to fix the flopping buds prompted these photo's of the fluffy bunnies hanging out in back by the LED....
