Here are a few of my extracts. I'm currently using the C99 on the left and the Space Queen in the middle. The far right is mixed indicas. The bottom is DNA Pure Afghan I am using to treat a Basal Cell CA on my left nare.

Last year was my seed year. I did a bunch of selfing and crossing.

LOL I have boxes of seeds! I am pretty happy with the results as well.

Hey! I've been wanting to get on an afghan kick. How was DNA Pure Afghan? Effects, quality, and flowering times?

I have just started number of seeds I saved from last season's hermaphrodites (from seed bank seeds). I recently moved and that was my first harvest from our new home. Now, I believe that the hermaphrodites were caused by the street light exactly in the middle of my front yard. 12/12 here in Hawaii was sorely disrupted by this light, I believe.

Oh well.... Lets stay positive! The light in the yard is great for party nights. And now I have a little experiment going. I am going to grow those plants in the most stress free gro-lab environment I can create (gro-labs). My hope is that I will get normal plants that are not too prone to hermi-ism. I'll post results if I can find this thread again!

Also, since my back yard is not in the direct view of the street light I am hoping to create a little privacy there and resume outdoor Hawaiian growing.

Ummm just realized what you guys ment when u guys said I had too many girls. Gonna get some out to my in laws garden this Thankgiving. Gonna fim or top some tomorrow night already working on fifth node after that one done tomorrow night top it or fim. Will post pics.

I want to remove the single leaf/first node? I notice a little growth in between the main stem and single leaf? Should snip off the single leaf? Update on them


U can see new growth in the first nodes in the pic below, will that be a branch or bud site? Or should I just take it off the single leaf, so the plant can focus its energy on the other branches and bud sites? I also have some LST, doing great.

As you can tell my fim didn't work out too well and my plant stayed focused on making one cola, topped two and fimmed three with sterile scissors insteadof pinching them off with my fingers. Will keep u guys updated till harvest. Advice and comments welcomed

I wouldn't remove anything as long as it is green and healthy. Those first set of leaves will die off eventually. When leaves yellow, it is the plant sucking nutrients out of it to use elsewhere on the plant. I don't remove anything unless it is brown and crunchy or if I am trying to train/bonsai the plant.

If you dont know what to remove

then your almost bitting off more then you can chew

not trying to be a dick I swear
Edit just search it and youll find it

I'm going to only keep about 3 or 4, maybe even just two. How can I bonsai the plant? I already have some lst and going around the cup. I have them under 12/12 now.

No offense taken, I just wanted to ask since I'm a newbie to growing inside. The look really healthy and branching off at every node

Do I have to move the fan leaves around in order to let the bottom shoots get more light? Or Do I tie them down? A lot of the ones I have LST are getting bushy and pulling their leaves back to get the light but are covering the bottoms shoots and nodes? What to do? They are getting really bushy, getting a thick stem, trying to cork screw them in the cup if possible..

Just remeber you leaves are"solar panels" the less you have the less energy is produced

in my opinion

Thanks CS. I've been just wondering? Is it bad for the leaves to be touching the soil while I have them LST? I feel overwhelmed by them now lol. Feel like giving them away to family and friends for Christmas now. And I'll just keeping my JHxSourOG and LST and seeing how that ones goes. It's working on its seventh node right now should I fim or top? Or just LST. I want multiple tops on a small plant. If possible

Yes dont let the leaves make prolonged contact with moist soil

can lead to bad shit

not a good thing

Hey guys here's another update on the girls, have any of you guys ever seen three fan leaves?coming out of the new growth? Never seen it before, I have a pic for u guys below. I also started to LST my JHxSourOG 2nd day, and then my dumbass opened up a main stem on one of them, I watched a video about a guy pinching his main stems to make them thicker, it's supposed to benefit the plant by getting a thicker main them so its able to give the plants can take in more nutes From the root for the plants I guess, my others took it fine, So I pinched a lil to hard and now I can almost see through it. Any way look at the pic and let me know what you think. Happy growing.

3?

Topped 3 days ago


Did my fim work?


Opened main stem!!!!!


Lst this beast


JHxSourOG

More lst

I'm twisting them like a twisler


The girls I hope. But only keeping my JHxSourOG

Well I think I got 3 or 4 hermies :/ pistils popped out on one side and a ball on the other? Anyone know why?

It could be that they are seeds from a hermaphrodite.

These things happen sometimes with bag beans. I was stoked I found a few beans in a sack of Iranian G13, every one of em showed both sexes.

Disappointing but that's the roll of the dice.

I got all females I believe, I think i took off the calyx where the pistils come out!! I left two alone and pistil came out of the ball. All showing female flowers, no more balls just a lot of white hairs. Will post pics up later

Hey guys here's some pics from my massive lil grow. Week 6. Flower week 2 going on 3 on Monday.

Got 4 I think I LST really early but are bushing out like crazy. Ones isnt even flowering yet it's still corkscrewing around the cup.

No nutes given yet, haven't had any extra funds but will be maybe getting some heavy16 bud-a and b for flower booster. Heard of it? Supposed to be some great stuff.
Gonna see what happens. Such a small space looks like a little rain forest.

Any thoughts on putting a big square pot and diving it it up in sections or just putting all of them in it?! Will it shock or stun them?! my idea is I think it will give the roots more space to expand down and side ways since the pot or section it will be in will be wider and taller than the styrofoam cups there still in!!!!!! Trichs coming in nice.

found a great new hydroponic store here in my town that opened two months ago and have everything I basically see online for half the price, from lights, nutes, pots, I fell in love with the store. Lol. Gonna save up and get geared up later on lil at a time. Anyways here they are. As u can tell I'm lit.

My 11 little girls


JHxSourOG smaller one and taller Orange Crush


The Orange Crush I topped


Orange Crush flowering


I call the taller one Ursula cause she's beasting


Orange Crush

Looking good. I would put them all in one pot rather than trying to divide them. It will give your plants more root space. Some of the bigger plants may outcompete smaller plants for space, but it will give you a better overall yield. Next thing you may want to buy is a some sort of carbon filter. If those aren't stinking yet, they likely will soon.
