First proper grow

wel i have been keepin this plant goin cuz i havent had my new light toally finished. as of tonight it is done. pics below. lights are 6 U shaped t8 bulbs at 4100k, gonna use them throughout, and 6x sockets that will be fitted with 2x Y adapters for 18 CFLS's daylight or normal. depending on growth stage.

as for my plant its still kickin, i feel i under nut'd it though the grow. was scared i was gonna over nut it. i WILL be cutting in the next couple days. and probably without the dark period i planneed. its gonna need all the light it can get to get ripe. ill probably be starting anew within 4 days...

thanks for all who have posted, feel free to post.

love that u shaped light u made very original

And wow.... last time i check'd was on the 20th.... They sure did fill out man ! Good grow ! Fantastic

thanks DWR, i hope the light works as good i think it will!

it took me just over 4 days to get started again. i have 14 seeds germing now, 7 hindu kush, 5 from my personal seed bank and 2 from my hermi. which is still alive. when i dropped my hindu kush into the cup to germ in water for a while one sunk slap to the bottom right off. i dont look for it to germ but i wanna keep 3 of them to do a clone grow next, so i didnt replace it. they are sittin on top of my monitor currently.

ive been doingall the renovations i can to my room with the plant still in there. mostly cleanin it up and clearing the top shelves that im gonna have to drill through to run my rope for the light. i still have to finish putting mylar up as well. god i dread that, it sucked last time.

tonight was the night. the plant is now hanging in my bathroom drying.

here are some pics after the chop and trimming. ill get close ups of more single buds after they dry and i remove the mega stems.

finally done. YAY

heres a close up of the pretzel stem, it works good for hanging. and it makes my plant different.

when and how did you tie the stem like that?

impressive!!

been a while since i checked this, been stoned and busy. the stem was twisted when it was a seedling, there may be pics of it somewhere on this thread. to help stabilize it, it was stretched. my new crop is no more, 4 day vacation is no good for seedlings, and they suffered a bit much. as well people have seen light from my grow room, some have questioned it. so im out for a while. it was a good run. the smoke was amazing, everyone who saw it fell in love with it and wanted some. at least half thought it was hydro. i advise molasses in heavy amounts. maybe sometime ill grow again but im happy to get out safely with my oz. and my seeds if i ever do grow again.

thanks to all who helped out and kept up

This was a fun read, glad your smoke was sweet.

Click to expand...

they dont drink it, but i go through tons of it, and the bottles work well for watering. and super stretch plant was streteched before i got decent lights

you like the pretzel stem too, eh? i thought it rocked, i killed another plant before it tryin to get it to twist up. it broke right in half.

thanks for posting.

you have a type of pink indica your plants looked just like mine did

looking good man-keep up the good work...

THIS PLANT ROCKED IN SO MANY WAYS!!!!!!

i have ten seeds planted from it and guess what all fucking 10 are FEMS. it SELFED!!!! HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

happy accident ftw... i also have another indica in there and its fem too.... its gonna be a good harvest!

How do i stress my plants?
And with clones how do i incresse the buds?

for lst examples go back to post 33,34,36 on this post. note the string pulling the tops to the side, it creates an even canopy. easier to light. and generally produces more big buds. i had it trained perfectly on a pallet in 36 then while moving it back under the light the thing tipped over and ripped a gash in last, fimmed node. it hardley missed a beat.

i dont quite understand what your getting at with clones. cut clones, root clones, veg for a few weeks or go straight to flower with em. clones just skip the germination and seedling stags. and you know for sure that your plant will be fem.

looks good
