whatapotheads bigbud shop.

whatapothead · #1 11-16-2008, 01:13 PM

alright i got a shop that is 18x26 in size. i'm growing in a 5x8x5 cab for now up on a loft in the shop until i'm sure it is safe.

here are some shots of the building process.

i got 8 bigbud sprouts that are about 3-5" tall so far and are finally straightening out after a rough start.

they sprouted on Oct 30th and this is them after about a week and a half.

they are under 2 4' two bulb T8 lights and also 5 26w CFLs in between.

now here they are at 17 days and just got their second feeding of full strength nutes today.

please comment on why the first sets of leaves are so FRICKIN FAT??? they don't hardly look like mary jane leaves?

also they are super bushy in a few of those pics from the top you can't even see down and they are only on their 2nd-3rd nodes.

i'll post later on the future of this grow and what my flowering plans are.

later.

soil is pro-mix organic
ph is 6.0-6.2
temp is 73-74
humidity is 28-30%

nutes are foxfarm grow big feeding them full strength once a week about. every other watering and i water every 3 days.

let me know if you see any problems.

The leaves being massively fat are a traight of the big bud strain,it's kinda weird getting used to looking at them but it's 100% normal.

I was running big bud in one of my rooms until i tried out a couple grows of top 44 & since have turned the big bud room into an all top 44 room,the harvest is very close in weight between the 2 strains & top 44 is a much more skunk taste/smell & buzz over big bud,one great thing about big bud is that the smell from the plants while they are in heavy budding is not too skunky compared to other strains ive grown & is easier to conceal.

Another thing about big bud is the finish time,dont pay any attention to the bullshit the seedbanksd spew about it being finished in 60 days,big bud will keep packing on the weight all the way up to & past the 90 day mark,when i was still growing big bud i was amazed & how many new calyx's would expolde on the buds up to the 90 day mark,let em grow as long as possible,it makes a huge weight difference & the quality of smoke is drastically better twords the 90 day mark.

Once you get the comfort level up & are ready to expand try out the top 44 strain,i'd be willing to bet you'll like it better & so will your friends.

thanks alot panhead. this is my second grow with bigbud and i harvested the last one at like 72 or 74 days. don't member but they were pretty light and fluffy and i used a 400w hps on them..

had 13 plants all 18" or so tall at finish of flower and only got about 3 oz. i was happy sinice it was my first grow but really want to push my limits now and get a good yield.

will definately look into the top44.

any other recommendations on strains would be appreciated, as i will be making another seed order after the first or second harvest.

i wouldnt doo top 44...do somthing that is well known...Critical mass..or a c99...even a northern lights or some kush...soo how big are you planing on making your grow place? and how much power...

whatapothead · #6 11-18-2008, 06:50 AM

3-4 1000w hps stadium grow. in a room 9x14' 9'high
not sure on the plant numbers yet. 40-80 i'm guessing and it will be perpetual.

that critical mass grow on here with just 3 600watters is super impressive.

panhead. here is a pic of my "BigBud" last time i grew it. these seeds were from amsterdamnseedbank or whatever it is...

my new seeds with the big fat leaves are from attitude and came in original packaging.

think they were still bigbud?

whatapothead · #8 11-19-2008, 12:02 PM

man i might have a nute burn issue. watered them on sunday. checked on them today and they were droopy cause they were super dry and couple have yellow bottom leaves now. hopefully it is just from the dryness but we'll see.

pics when i get a chance.

whatapothead · #9 11-21-2008, 02:13 PM

Here are some more pics at 22 days. they got super dried out a few days ago and a few of the leaves turned like a dull green and died but never turned yellow but when i grabbed them the crumbled in my hand. and a few leaves twisted but other than that i think all of them are ok except for one.

in the first picture notice the yellowing or light greening of the leaves... is this from a deficiency? they have received two full doses of fox farm grow big so far but haven't gotten any in 5 days since i thought i might have burned them but i think i'll get back on my schedule slowly starting monday.

let me know what you think. my over watering first and then under watering has slowed their growth. at 22days i think i could have them alot bigger than this.

26 days......

they are now under a 400w hps but i need to install my cooltube as my temps are 80*

also got a 1/4 shot of nutes today day 27. they seem to be loving the 400w tho
