Anyone out there planted any BC Big Bud in the recent years? I've started it as my first grow mostly for the concern of big yield and easy growing factor.
I've seen through many a pictures of many a strains of Marijuana as I've been growing/researching and it seems to me that in matters of sexing before the flowering stage, Male plants seem to be mostly stalky and spaced out between nodes.
I also have another strain I started with the BC which were seeds that I got from a bag of KB (with seeds? I know. What does this guy think I am...a farmer?)
The loner strain is about 15 inches tall in his late 5th week of Vegging and he is very bare looking. Large spaces of stalk in between nodes and what not. It also grows only 3 leaved branches.
The two BC plants I have are growing very many shoots and colas (what appear to match the top cola leaves) all over the plant. I currently use the tie down method as apposed to the topping method in hopes that my plant will use less life/energy healing and promote it toward many new growth.
The larger of my two BC plants has about 6-8 grown branches that are similar looking to to the top.
The smaller of the two has about 5-6 branches.
I grow in soil. MG soil and my ph is about 6.9. I use Peters plant food which is a 24-8-16. I also have blood meal mixed in with the soil (12-0-0). I'm in the process of acquiring chicken poop for ferting on my next harvest. I've gotten word its only a few steps off bat guano.
I use a feed-feed-flush-feed feed feed-flush-feed-feed-flush...etc. I like the plant to not get totally used to being fed and flushed.
I have a Metal Halide bulb that I am using for Veg & Flowering. I acquired this light at a very inexpensive price which had been my main reason for not starting a grow operation prior. The guy who sold it to me, told me it was a 5000w bulb. I believe it to maybe be a 1000w bulb at best. (*edit*) The bulb is a 1000w Metal Halide, as it was listed on the bulb itself.
Soon I will have pics up, I've just got to borrow a good camera, or get one on ebay soon for a decent price.
