Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

Humboldt............ still growin strong and looking amazing

25 pages you are doing well bro- good job. can't wait to see the outcome-

Thanks ozone for making an appearance and for the comments .. keep coming back it works!


Hey thanks Bryan, nice to see ya drop in, we are all scientists now right? I think it's cool to see people keep track of their ideas and progresses, I keep everything on note or wordpad, I sincerely hate paper & pen, white board sound like a good idea, I actually have a small board that I used in the past for my plnats to sit on but never thought of using it for what its actually used for..lol again thanks for dropping in...


Thanks dannyboy for visiting and sharing cloning with us, very much appreciated!


Hey there Gwarrior, thanks for popping in, I was hoping to avoiding doing a search right away lmao but thanks for the information and the kind words.



I do have several shots of the light set up scattered throughout this journal but I don't mind posting more shots to save people time looking back, also I have videos of the light setup and this grow, if interested visit the following link.

As requested,

I think that it has an equal sread of light, I thought about placing the light fixtures closer together but that would include more fixtures & bulbs, thet light fixtures new I found for 16 bucks but I got all mine for 50cents a peice at a thriftstore,, saved me quite a few duckets.



Thanks for your support tech, you've been great!




25 pages seems like a lot doughnut, it would be a lot more I suppose if I had started this journal from the get go, also speaking of pages to journals, I've noticed journals that are like on their 50th page and they haven't even really starting growing yet..lmao what's up with that? thanks for your support Logan you have been great as well.



HOOAH!


My bubblegum has arrived, I'm soo exited and eager to germ some but I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait some time as I have too much going on right now as it is.

Does it look like bubblegum to you? cause it sure doesn't look or smell like it to me

To save me some searching, what's the best way to store seeds? would that film container be appropriate and would I need to puncher a few holes in the lid so they can breath?


Thank you all for your visits, advise and comments, you do not know how happy you all make me feel, keep coming back it works .. if it don't work for you by golly it's working for me!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND TO ALL A HAPPY HOLLIDAY!

Sweet man that's how I thought your setup was, thanks for doing that for me

I saw those light adapters but couldn't figure out a way to mount them so I went with the Y splitters but you did a nice job

so what is that like 10 cfls over 3 plants? have you heard of the t5 i heard there real good with lumen's and electricity but everyone still says hps is the way to go but since i saw your grow im gonna go try the t5s thanks for starting this journal that bushy one is amazing i got a bunch lookin worse then that under hps

You're welcome jomal, that's what journals are for, I like the fixtures I'm using but I think the y's will work just as well.

original thanks for visiting, yes I heard of the t5 but the one I wanted was way too expensive, I'd rather get an hps for those prices, also I have 14 26w over three plants.

I added an updated video to my video page, day 27 flowering,

thanks a lot please stay posting, i wanna know how much the dry weighs then, thanks!

is that 14 lights including the ones on the bottom? did the ones on the bottom make a big difference, i know the more light the better but did you notice a difference or have those there since the beginning?

budding up nicley Hum i never figured ive never had that many trichs at that stage only ALOT of hairs but at the end it was just as good. Peace

bro just so the video, dammmmmmm, the filling up nicely , they look gorgeus, i bet ur cat loves weed too, hes always there, lol

There is nothing better than a brainstorm night. I just sit and come up with silly ideas. Sometimes put them into action but it is all trial and error.
By the looks of things you are having a good time growing and doing well might I add.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to your updates.

original don't worry I'm a posting picture taking mutha fu*&%# yes it was 14 lights and I took out the strips of light at the bottom, it did give it more overall light but didn't seem to be doing anything, I was thinking it was a waste of electricity, I did however added 46 more watts above, check it out bellow.

Thanks Dr High, haven't you heard, I sprinkled powdered sugar over all the buds...


Thanks majim for stopping by and showing some love, yeah the girls are filling up pretty good, however I was informed that I should trim the bottom branches that weren't doing anything, made perfect sense as it should now focus more on the higher and bigger buds, also she can now breath, I'm thinking I should of done this along time ago, oh well live & learn, I did ad some more light above to help fatten up the colas and some of the lower buds.




I'm forever thinking of improvements and as I was sitting in me lazy boy dreaming over the girls I saw something .. I saw a light bulb floating above my head, I said to myself .. "WTF" it came to me as to how I would be able to add more light above, have a look.


Some different angles,

If you noticed mediocre has four cola branches and two are shorter, also notice how effective the lights I added should be on them smaller colas, I'm soo stoked, I'm seriously thinking about purchasing two 40w bulbs, I now want to get the fattest buds possible using cfls, money is no longer an issue..


I was informed to trim the bottom branches of my plants, so I went out and bought some clippers,

Just kidding, it just so happens I need a trim the same time bushy does.


The trimmings,

You think I could make some good hash, damn seriously I'm going to let that shit dry and smoke it, maybe I will get some idea of what kind of a high to expect, as stated before I smoked some of the males and they actually gave me a pretty decent buzz.. however it didn't last long.

I soo wanted to try and clone those clipping but heard that cloning after flowering is more difficult, so I decided to wait..



Here's bushy all nice and trimmed,

I couldn't resist sticking a branch in my ghetto hooka,

I figured since I had to take bushy out to give her a trim I'd take some more budshots,

Well the girls are now resting and it's about time for me to do the same, HOOAH!! to all!

Your plants are really coming along man, awesome budshots!

dude your shit is rockin! i took clones from mine with them in flowering but it takes a little longer for them to change back to veg. and start growing again. bro you can always send me those bubblegum seeds and ill store them in a nice 5gal. bucket full of ocean forest potting soil for you. i'll get u some pics of my bubblegum soon so ull kinda know what to expect from them. i kept mine in veg till they got around 24" tall for about 5 weeks. now one is arouind 48" tall and the other is around 44" tall with some nice big colas on top.

Looks sooo delicious...

those buds look freaking insane man- excellent, excellent grow

post as soon as u burn those clippings, believe me i was tempted to light mines up after they died, but no, better wait

Thanks jomal, your comments as everybody's are much appreciated!

Party you're too funny, give you my seeds .. lmao you already have some growing, speaking of .. Damn It! I want to see them, it's been damn near a month, it's about time you reveal your ladies, I want to see what bubblegum looks like from your point of view, thanks for dropping by and showing me some love, if you'd ever update your journal I'd return some of that love....

Thanks hot, bushy seemed to really love that trim because today she has dramatically changed. (over night) check her out.

Hey LoveIt thanks for dropping in, is there an echo in here? Thanks for the comments!

Will do majim, looks like it's about ready, I'll probably light it up first thing tomorrow, I'm going to pull the bigger leaves and roll up the rest, I'll let ya know what kind of a head change I receive..

Bushy - day 28 flower,

She's actually looking smoke a bowl, really filling in and the top cola bud is starting to get fat as well as all her other buds scattered around, I think bushy really like the trim I gave her, I'm thinking about doing the same to small and mediocre, the girls are liking the new light, .

Bushy and small,

Mediocre and small,

Mediocre - 22 days flowering, budshots!

Ok I decided to top two more of my girls as they were getting tall and not getting enough light toward their bottoms, I went ahead and tried cloning the tops and the small side branches, they are small but who knows they may take, if a couple actually take root, Im going to put the rest of my girls into flower, they are getting big and I will be running out of room before to long.

Some shots of the aftermath,

What do you guys think is that enough or not enough light for those clones?

I would of took more shots of the procces but I'm nervous enough as it, I'll get the hang of it one of these day, thanks everybody for your support!

dude, awesome awesome grow. shows what can be done with a load of cfls and some patience. i take my potentially existing hat off to you.
good job.
