6 happy happy girls

See how happy they are

I just love it when the girls are full of joy like this.

I started this grow 5 weeks ago with 10 unknown seeds. They vegged for 3 weeks until 5 nodes appeared and have been on flower cycle for 2 weeks. During the first 4 days of 12/12 4 boys were born and they were plucked. Within 3-4 more days the girls grew some preflowers, pretty ones too.
My grow cube is dinky (2ft by 2ft by 4 ft) and always has been, but by using rectangular recycling containers with holes drilled on the bottom I was able to squeeze more plants into the cube this time (usually only 4 fit). 2 plants per container with a plastic wall between the plants each having their own soil and food supply to feed from.

I added dolomite lime to my soil mix to maintain soil ph at 6.5-7.0. The light is a 400 watt hps which i used for veg as well. I began bloom and flower food at 1/3 strength the same day they were switched to 12/12 and increased doses until they were able to handle the full blast. The food they eat at full blast now is flora nova bloom 4-8-7(3 tsp per gal), roots organic hpk 0-5-4 (3tps per gal) and molasses (3tsp per gal). They eat and drink every 4-5 days or when ever the soil dries out.

The strains are unkown but when i rub the main stalk and then sniff my fingers a couple smell very skunky and the others smell somewhat citrus like with a hint of skunk, mmmmm. I have grown strains I knew like ruderalis (very consistant strain) and k2 (inconsistant strain, still an f2 hybrid)a few times but this one is a fun little mystery.

Btw the soil I used this time around is Black Gold npk is .5-0-0.

Let me know what ya'll think and any suggestions from the pros are welcome. Kathy

those are some thick stalks baby! how big are they?

**brasmith** · 10-09-2008, 03:17 PM

Hey Hearts you popped in for a look. The stalks are super thick this time around. I just went and measured and 5 of them are 20 inches tall and one is 17 inches. They were all 5 inches tall w/ 5 nodes when they went into 12/12.

**kngofhearts2diefor** · 10-09-2008, 03:38 PM

of course i jumped to take a look we were talking almost everyday til i got popped.which is why i wasnt on forever cause i had no tree growing!!

lol but wow what a stretch, im guessing thats from using the hps during veg with the heavy flowering spectrums.are they just seeds you found around the house because they look nice..strain unknown but deff look better then the indica leaves i have and see from bagseeds.a

**brasmith** · 10-10-2008, 09:41 AM

They are bag seed this time around. I got the seeds from a collection of bags I saved over the past year or so. All 6 plants could be different strains because over the year I had picked up some white widow, ice, northern lights, hash plant, kush and purple erkel. One of them could be what a grower friend called "work" because in that specific grow (18 plants) he missed a male and the whole group got pollenated. The grow was 2 strains widow and hash plant, so a nice blend could come from this.
