Hey guys, Flowering has begun. They are stretching quite a bit overnight. The big devil autos look amazing compared to the easy ryders. They are getting huge and the fan leaves on them are turning purple and they look sexy as hell.


I've started my freebies which I will be using for next round or outdoors. They all germinated and the kalashnikova had two seperate tap roots coming out of it. This is the strain I'm most eager to try as I'm a love of white widow and the pictures of it look amazing

So I have a tiny 2 x 2 temporary veg cabinet that has 3 PK clones that have been in there for a few day. I finally got IBA root stimulant as well. And one Exodus cheese, grapefruit krush, superbud, Kalashnikova and Emerald jack.

The flower tent is getting really really full, I'll post some pictures soon. I'm likely putting one of my autos outdoors to make room inthe flower tent.


Also the mexican sativa is looking to be male unfotunately. I'll give it another few days to confirm at which point I'll chop it if it's male. I was thinking on breeding but I don't really want to breed with a sativa strain....

Day 4 flower. Not alot of stretching, as I've stated this strain stetched about 2-5 inches total last time. It's 100% indica.

Here are some pics. The autos are starting to flower nicely. I LST'd a few of them to open up the budsites.

My ls't bush is super dense and I'm wondering if I should prune so I can get decent buds instead of just little ones on the tops or will the light penetrate through the canopy....

Day 6 Flower, Tied a few more branches today, probably won't be touching them anymore as I don't want to stress them.

It's confirmed that the bagseed mexican sativa was a male. It's unfortunate as it was as big as some of the others who were vegged a month longer.

You still think one pound is achievable?

Also, Exodus cheese, grapefruit krush and superbud have sprouted but the other two freebies haven't yet.

after looking at pic number ten looks like u r gonna have some height issues... keping all your plants close to the same height helps you maximize your light source... lookin for that pound? all the weight is in the colas closest to the light.. if you only have one cola a foot away and the rest 3-4 feet from it your are gonna end up with less for sure...

might be wrong.. dont know the strand.... but my plants almost always tripple in size even after a week worth of flower... how tall is that one?

Yah thanks I appreciate the input but I've grown this strain and the reason for the extra long veg is because it's on the small side for yield. Also, it only stretch like not even 0.5 the times the last time I grew it, I appreciate the thoughts. Also, It's a verticle grow so the plants in the middle are trained lower and the plants on the sides are trained higher to maximize space. It is about 3.5 feet tall in a 5 foot tent but the stretch is almost done, today is day 7 of flower.

Everything is going great, today is day 10 of flowering, they are just finishing up there stretch and starting to put out pistols. The autos are budding nicely.

The 5 seedlings are doing great despite being under only two 23 watt cfls.

I gave up on cloning for now as my cloner got filled with algae after two weeks and I had roots, but the algae killed them...

I've been hoping to get another triploid and I did. My Emerald jack turned out with three cotyledons and three true leaves,will post pictures at week two as not much is goin on now.

Haven't updated in a while. Alot has changed in the room. I'll try to get pictures up as soon as I can but my camera broke which is why I havent updated in a while.

It's day 21 flowering for the 5 biggons and day 47 from seed for the autos.
The autos are looking amazing. The big devils look like they will be done by day 60-65 and the lowryders look like they are gonna go to day 70-80.

I also, checked on my outdoor plot and I ahve one really nice looking PK while the other three look small and shitty since they were basically plants I was gonna chop.

I have 5 seedlings that are like 8 days from seed.I\ll be moving either 2 or 3 outside despite the fact that they will only have a few weeks mazimum to veg.

I have no idea which strains to put out any advice?
Exodus Cheese
Kalashnikova
Grapefruit Krush
Superbud
Emerald Jack (triploid)

Day 21 of flowering -- how much have they stretched in those three weeks?

Good job with the grow and journal.

This strain literally stretches a few inches. I would say they stretched 3-6 inches in three weeks it's a fast finishing strain so they bud quickly

Thanks, Im really hopeing to get pictures up soon. I fogot to mention that I ditched the dwc cloner due to algae problems and tossed all my clones accept the one that was rooted well. It is now outside after a week of veg. I also put my super bud outside although it was only on its second set of true leaves....So that make 4 outside and 10 inside with a exodus cheese, Kalishnikova, grapefruit krush and emerald jack for next round. They will veg for the next two months or so until I harvest. They will all be lst'd.

Interestingly enough, I love mutant genetics; My emerald jack is a triploid; the second one I 've ever seen.

Also, my grapefruit krush has a wierd mutation, it's second set of true leaves are attached to each other like siamese twins....I don't know how this is going to affect the plant but I'm assuming they will rip apart as they grow older. I'm hoping the next set is adjoined as well because that'd be a pretty kool pheno.

Today is day 27 flowering for the big plants and day 53 from seed for the autos. The big devils are getting close, another two weeks maximum; and the lowryder twos are slow as hell. They will probably be done just before the big ones are done so in one sense I'll have a semi perpetual harvest.

I have never used coco. Well like I said last week. My first thought was underwatering. But then you said they bounced back from not watering. So I thought maybe overwatering. But I still think underwatering. It's a weed and you should really not stress it too much or you will kill it by flushing and watering and more flushing. Just water it with pH'd water and low dose of nutes. You want to make them work for the water so they will strive and fight for growth.
You should switch to DWC and give it a shot. I'm doing my first one. It's not that bad and fairly easy to maintain if you set it up correctly.
Fast growth with big buds!!
DWC and some practice is the way to go. If you use single res buckets and you have a problem you can change just that res and correct your problem very hard to do in soil or soil-less mix. It is hard to overcome a case of over-watering in soil.
