This will be my 6th grow. I am excited about this one since I have figured out what seems to be optimal for my space in terms of lighting, pot size and organic nutes.

I have learned how LST works best and also how to keep stress to a minimum. To much stretching and pulling on the plants causes hermi's as does heat stress, poor soil, over feeding/watering, and inadequate lighting or poorly handled lighting schedules.

The desire of course is large potent yield and no seeds. This time we will FIM instead of topping and try to fill the space with as much plant as it can handle.

Currently, I have a clone from my 'Hot Stuff' still in the flowering chamber along with some other bag seed plants that I FIMed three weeks ago. So far I can say that everything I grew to completion, was better than the original in terms of potentcy and taste. Yields varied but that was mostly due to my noob status. In short, I am getting the hang of this growing thing.

My last grow yielded 33 grams dry from one plant. My first grow yielded 7 grams dry. My clone from my last grow had a 21 gram cola that I cut to dry 4 days ago and it will be jarred up for curing. I have been growing no for almost exactly one year and getting better results with each grow. Pictures and more diatribe to follow!

Ah, I just love good ganja on the cheap!

the joy is indescribile,huh?yielded 3/4 of my first plant.learned a shitload too.not overreacting for me is a key.patience is a virtue!GOOD LUCK!!!!

So true man. I think everybody is antsy their first couple grows. You can see it in the noob section in the titles. Sounds like 7th grade or something. " I just sprouted my first cock hair....if I get lucky will she get preggers?" LMAO

Ok got some pics here gimme a sec

Pics one and two are the sprouts...I dunno what happned to the third but all three germed and all sprouted today.

Pics three, four and five are my bag seed babes in veg. They are really healthy. The first is squatty and close nodes. The second is lanky and sativa-ish. My guess is squatty will be a male and lanky a female.

The next six pics were shot thru my magnifying glass.....not so good but its fun to play around

The next two are a good bag seed female that was fimmed and is fairly close noded and is about three weeks into flowering.

The next two are of my strange clone. the 22 gram top was cut as it was just too heavy and had hovered so close to the lights that it was finished before the bottom nine buds. They are still on the vine and up closer to the light to mature.

The rest of the pics are bud shots of the bottom nine and the last two pics are the 22 gram top on the drying rack. I plucked one bud from her and put her thru the bong. Better than the street offerings I have around. Sweeter taste...two toke buzz

nice bro....love to see some pics when you got em

^^^X2 waiting too see those pics.

Oh yeah the important info. Currently I am using Hoffmans Organic soil. It works really well but unlike FFOF it does attract some bugs. Nothing major but pests none the less. So far the results have outperformed FFOF. When the NL are potted up they will get my summer long composted soil from my pile out back, mixed with wormcastings, vermiculite and my left over FFOF and Hoffmans combined together. My compost has coffee grounds, banana peels, eggshells, and various other plant and vegetable left overs since June. Before I add all the ingredients the compost will be sifted and backed for one hour at 150, Then I will mix in the other and turn it for about a week or two before using.

The seedlings are under a two 48" warm white shop lamps. They sprouted within 24 hours of hitting the soil. I use filtered tap water but often I just keep my finger in the stream as I fill my watering can and that takes care of the chlorine. No problems ever.

I water with homemade teas for my plants in flower. Nothing special. A handful of worm castings, 6 drops of Shultz stuff, a cap full of Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10, and some molasses in a gallon of water and mixed in a tub with an aquarium pump for a couple hours and feed as normal. Every other watering is 1/2 quart per plant of tonic water. They love this shit. More oxygen to the roots.

Seedlings get straight water for three weeks and then some( 6 drops) Miracle Grow plant food. I hate the soil, but a light feeding with this stuff made those two bad seeders waiting to go into flower, healthy and growing like crazy. One is 24 inches tall at one month and the leaves on both are flat and happy and chasing the light. More later.

Thanks for tuning in guys. Lets grow some herb!

Ausome job bro keep it up + Rep

Thanks PowerZZ. I plan to do just that.

Looks like yer learning alot over your grows... I cant wait to finish getting my gear!!!

u mix everything with an aquarium pump? hmm sounds interesting i might try that
