150 watt Bogglegum SCROG

[immortal]

Ok finally got the pics uploaded. Ic mag uploader diddnt like one of em I guess so none of them would upload.






the screen is a lil high but the lagest plant has reached the screen since the pics were taken and still havent seen preflowers. I think im seeing what appears to be the start of preflowers but it may be a few days till sex is determined.

it appears that the new branching on the trifolate does not hold the trait. So even if its a female the trifolate wont live on. Kinda saddens me. Also I havent seen any begginings of preflowers on it either which is good cause it needs to grow a liltle more than the others.

I just made a 76 watt compact floro light that cost me 8 bucks in bulbs and 15 for the chrome fixture. It puts out way more light than a 4 ft floro 80 watter. Jesus, 2 of them would really light up a box quite big like 4x4 I think very well. BOG

I hung it on my 400 horizontal and doubled the light area.

Yeah, I found the same thing at first with my trifliates, I have a theory (so it's probably wrong) that a plant (with the right genetics) with more than sufficient light strength will just try anything to absorb all the light it can, hence a third set of leaves. At topping it gets extra leaves and so doesnt feel the need for extra leaves. Although later on I have found that one or two of the branches will also develop the three per node thing about mid stretch. Saying this though, a 150w light wouldn't kick out that much, there again there BOG's genes aren't they, maybe it has more to do with the mother's growing conditions, I dont know, point is don't give up on her trifoliousness, it may not be gone for good.

wow look at all the visitors today. :friends: Got me a 12 pack today and six of those are reseved for a celebration when I get some ladies, or to drink my misery away if 2 or more are males. WIsh me luck guys.

Here is my oops for the day. I was messin with my timer yestuday and switch it off so my light stayed on after 4am.(Im running my lights from 4pm to 4am because my landlord has been comming in to work and such and this makes me paranoid). Oh yes I had a minor mold problem so I switched my timer to just the light so ventilation would be on during dark cycle. ANyways I got up at 830 to lock cab so any visitors that may stop buy wouldnt be able to open it. just for the hell of it I open it real quick and see the light is on. Oh shit huh. I almost diddnt open the cab so It would have benn on the whole night cycle. So I turned it off and now my light cycle is from 9 to 9. THis shouldnt really affect my plants much, the dark cycle is still 12 hours they just got 4 extra hours of light for 1 day. It sucks though cause now I gotta wait till 9 pm to check on em everyday. But then again I can check em before I goto work too so It works out a lil better.

Hey BOG thanks for stoppin by. What kinda chrome fixture did you use? Just askin because im gonna be building a mom clone area soon. I plan on useing a 24 inch strip light form HD like 22 bucks plus like 10 for the bulbs. I also thought about cfls but it seems easier to just use the shoplight method.

Hey Gmt thanks for the input on the trifolate. Its not as bushy as my others but the fact that it has 3 branches per node make it possible to yield quite well. once they show sex I will take some clones of the females. I was gonna use the tops of the bushy ones for clones but they wilted and were kinda sparkly so I smoked em. I couldnt resist. I didnt get a headache and the two bowls of dried leaf got me pretty high. very up high and no I wont do that again. If it hadnt been 8 months since I smoked I wouldnt have even tried it, honestly I was quite shocked when I realized I was high.

Hey vin harvest will be in like 60 days or so. They are already on 12/12 and I plan on flowering them for at least 50 days after I see preflowers. Oh and as far as smell right now there is a slight sweet kinda skunky smell to them but to smell it you gotta really get in there and sniff at them. In comparison the bagseeds I had when I started this grow smelled alot stronger at two weeks veg. Ill let ya know when they start smelling and how bad.

Yea It was a challenge getting those pics up this weekend Ohenry. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh yea and day 4 of 12/12 starts at 9pm tonight. May be day 5 but oh well whos countin. Ill start counting better after I see some ladies.

Lol, I'm taking early cuts for smoke myself at the mo. One point, you may be better taking a cut from them all now rather than trying to revert back to veg once sexed. It's no big deal just saves a little frustration in the long run. You can trow away the male cuts and with 50 or so days veging time, you can grow your favourite cutting and take several cuts from it and get them rooted for when you harvest that load (thinking positive), if cutting are the way you want to go. I got bored with cuttings as you always know how it's gonna turn out, I like the supprise aspect, most of the time.
Just a thought mate,

Ive heard that they actually may root faster if you take them after being sexed. I havent built a veg room yet so they will spend a while in the fridge after I take them anyways. You can keep cuttings in the fridge for a month before rooting.

Well the preflowers are getting bigger. Still no preflowers on the trifolate. At this point preflowers on both bushy plants look almost identical. Light comes on at 9 so If I find a lady there will be an update with pics at 9. Same goes if I find a male except there will be much more swearing and things being thrown. I dont expect to be able to sex them tonight. Later, wish me luck.

 

[GMT]

:smile: Good luck

 

[immortal]

Thanks GMT. I checked them last night and again this mornin before the light went out. Still no ladies.

 

[immortal]

well I thought I had a mg deficiancy a few days ago and my plants werent ready for a watering so I sprayed them down with a weak epson salt solution. Turns out now that I think about it it was probably overfert. when I transplanted I added 1 cup blood bone mean gave a 3/4 cup of big bloom and also 1 tblspoon of pure blend. leaves have been going yellow from the edges in since then and seem to not be growing too much. Today all growth affected was trimmed off as some was completely yellow and wilted. yesturday I gave plain water and will probably give plain water for my next feeding. My overferting may be why prflowers seem to be developing so slowly. Luckily only oldergrowth was affected.

 

[immortal]

Good thing is as many mistakes as im making on this grow There wont be any left for my next one. I do not intend to make the same mistakes twice

 

[GMT]

ah, dont worry about it, if ya make enough mistakes, they start cancelling each other out

 

[immortal]

Ha HA good one GMT.

Well this is good news and bad news I guess. The trifolate seems to be showing preflowers. Looks like a tiny calyx with no hairs so far. The bad part is the preflowers on the other two are completely different. So if the trifolate is female the other two are likely male. The trifolate is the smallest plant and likely will not yield as much as one of the 2 others. If I end up with one female I may scrap the screen LST and reveg. Taking clones would lower my yield which will be small off of that plant.

I hope im wrong but I have a hunch im not. Well on a positive not at least I got 1 female well hopefully.

Light schedule has been changed back to 6 to 6. they only had 9 hours of darkness today.

 

[Rellikbuzz]

Sorry to be so late to the show Immortal but I just saw this thread tonight! I feel your pain on this grow, man. Although I have had a little better luck at restraining my need to do something , I still made a couple of big blunders that I won't be repeating in the future myself.

One word of caution though, brotha! Be careful shifting your light schedule around as much as you have. Light irregularities leads to hermaphrodites and that's something you definitely don't need at this point. It's just more stress on top of the stresses that they have already been through. Just be careful, bro.

Otherwise, looking really good. One other thing. If you only end up with the one female, rather than revegging which takes forever, just take clones and get them started under the flouro you're talking about getting and flower out the mother so you can get some damn smoke, man! Chaulk this one grow up to experience and focus on getting your clones going and FORCE YOURSELF TO STOP FUCKING WITH THEM!!!

Keep it safe and keep 'em green, my man and you'll do fine!!

ah well ya can always come over to my grow mate, http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=10829
How did you make your link nice?

 

[immortal]

Hey GMT, I was gonna try to explain but here it is
150 watt Bogglegum SCROG :friends:
That should help you with your link.

Hey Relikbuzz thanks for stoppin by and the tips are appreciated. Alot of the light change was due to security measures. I did change it back so I can check once in the mornin before i goto work. I have 1 suspected female which may verywell turn out to be male and the other 2 may be females at this point. Been showing preflowers for so long I thought Id have em sexxed by now. It looks like Ill take a clone though and have plants ready to flower if I do end up with a female. I may start a few more seeds too.

I have since stopped fucking with em. except I do a check for preflowers at least once a day. I did tear a branch on the taller one slightly off as I was training and trying to get a better look at preflowers. Hopefully itll mend itself up, unless its a male they I could care less. Later and thanks for everyone whos been stoppin by.
