My Personal Trainwreck, et al - Page 3

TW's right-arm's cola got too heavy and I've had to add string to hold it up. There's also a branch that was leaning against the back of her cab, so I added string for that. It was very difficult hanging the back string and I'm not going to attempt to get a pic of it

.

I got a PM suggesting I wasn't using enough light. There were 12,600K and I've added another 2700K to make it 15,300. I ordered 12 more backup bulbs coming on Friday and if I can add more in TW, I will. I can see the buds in the center getting bigger with the added light.

I can see it does look dark in the middle in the pics, but they're lit up like a Christmas tree. Sometimes I need to move light to get the camera in, but I think they're well lit now. Thanks TM!

She went into flower on 5/23 so am hoping she's a 60-dayer. Her trichs are visible, but I'm not concentrating on them yet. I want her to keep blooming!

My first baby who went into veg on 4/1 (yes, April Fool's Day) is finally starting to flower. She is now on day 21 of 12/12 and has had two shots of Super Bloom. I'm going to do a separate thread on what not to do and use her as my examples. At least she's now pulling through. Here's a look at her from baby to now. TC is a purple kush from clone.

Gooey is an Afghan Goo started from seed. She's been vegging outside since 5/18. She's under a bluish street light all night so has really been under 24 hour light. The way I see it, that blue light is what she knows as sleep time. She's always drooped her leaves at night, just like a nightgown.

I was going to bring her in and force flower her inside, but it was too painful. I was in tears at the thought of putting her in a dark bathroom by herself all night. I had thoughts of putting my pillow and blanket in there with her. At least some music.

I've now decided to flower her outside. I doubt she'd drop dead getting 12 hours of bluish light rather than pitch black that she's never been in. So we'll see what happens. Here's pix during transplant and showing her flowers trying to pop through.

This lady (Indy) had a really rough transplant. She originally started in a window, went into the laundry area, into a new pot and then into a new veg closet. She's still not liking any of it much, but she's never been in as bad of shape as TC, so I know she'll recover.

The new babies are Romula (sp is a guess).

The little baby outside is a Lamb's Bread that someone gave me in April. She should have come inside, but closets were full. She's been almost dead her whole life, but is now coming back so I wanted to add her in here. Her name is Bo Peep. Her DOB is about 4/5/09.

I added new lights, though will be putting up at least one more when I buy more sockets/clips. I got the expensive shit, now need to travel a mile to buy the cheap stuff.

I don't have a lot to show that's new. She's growing, doing her thing and is on day 53 of flowering.

A note to federal government trollers only: This is my entire grow. I now have four adult plants if you want to measure them by 12" high or sex showing. Only 2 are blooming if you want to judge them that way. I have 5 babies. I am allowed 6 adults or 12 children (plus 1/2 poud of processed). My boyfriend is sharing this grow and he also has a prescription. His limit has not been started. Figure it out!

Cheers!

The Gooster has grown 3 inches in the last few days and is now a whopping 25" as she goes into flowering. I had visions of dangling trainwreck arms, so we put stakes around her. She has to be carried in every evening about 6 and back out in the a.m.

There's also a pic of TW's longest arm, shot at a weird angle and also one or two of the purple kush whose looking more like trainwreck under the yellow lights.

Speaking of trainwreck, she just finished her 8th week of flowering today. I'm hoping for another 7-14 days. Trichs are mostly clear still.

I couldn't resist after caging the goo, so went and did the same to the purple kush. Geez, I wish I'd have thought of this for the trainwreck. I'll use it in all potted plants from now on.

Nice wreck!

katwoman2012 · #29 07-21-2009, 06:13 PM

Thanks Fried, I'll let you know if it was nice

. I'm going to post a slew of pix: I bought my 3rd cab, got a lot of lights, and started the wreckster on flush today (she had molasses tho).

But I'm asking for any advice about the TW's harvest, cure, etc. I'm pretty much following Fdd2blk's tutorial on it, but I don't think I'll flush for two weeks, maybe heavy waterings (3X normal water, 3 times). She is dry about every 30 hours.

I don't understand about the leaves dying around the buds that I see on a lot of plants when ready. I'm thinking if you don't flush for so long, they'll remain greener and stickier. I'd think it's nute starved and still trying to live. But I want sticky, dank leaves ~ not dry and crispy. If I'm way off on that please comment.

My old man set up a third cabinet last night for veg. Two hours, on killer OG Kush, was all it took to include daisy chaining PC fans in two cabs. I had her in a regular clothes closet with a fan blowing in and a fan blowing around. I just about killed my indica (name unk, I call her Indy) and when I saw her yesterday morning, I pulled the plastic and bought her a home. She's the one in veg, waiting on the wreck for a home to flower.

The cabs are Sterlite from Walmart. They need to be insulated or foil-taped for light. Pix showing cab in the making, only a Dremel drill needed to build the whole thing. So we have TC (purp kush) in one, TW in two and Indy with friends (Romulan) in three.

The Goo is hanging outside in about 140 degrees. She comes in at 8 and out at 8. I'll do pix of her later. She's getting huge!

I want to thank everyone that PM'd me and also a thanks for the rep from Dystopia. Tilemaster told me to add the lights - a huge thanks. Difference in pix from 4 lights to 6 was big in bud size.

I'm not going anywhere, I just feel like I'm going public. (pix are titled)

Trainwreck is 9 1/2 weeks into flower, trichs still mostly clear or opaque.

TC is a purple kush on week 4 of flower. She stinks bad. Don't expect her to get much better.
