Trailer park grow

Hey Folks,
It's been a month since my last post and I've just been watching the ladies grow.
My screw up may have slowed them down a bit but there still going strong.
One did seem to have a lot of burnt leaves and was worse than the other two so I wacked her down and put her back in veg.
That left me with two, a sativa at nine weeks and an indica at seven. Neitge one looks close to being done.

I also changed my set up. I'm now using three litre bottles. The roots pushed the screen out on the sativa and grew into the system. If this still doesn't work, I guess I'll switch to something else. I just like this system ,it's cheap, expandable, and low maintnance, if it works:blsmoke:

I have tortured the sativa to keep it low using LST. I broke off the top early in the grow and ended up with a cross formation. It then split in a diamond shape at that point. I taped it up, then I ended up breaking a branch off and she just keeps going. You must really have to work hard to kill this stuff.

I think they still have a ways to go, all the flowers are still completely white and the trichs are still clear.

I ordered some hash plant seeds the other day so, hopefully, by the time these are done I'll have something going that I will know what to expect.

Thanks for looking.:peace:

If you bend that satavia under the light the buds will start to grow up all along the branch. Still doesn't yield much. VV

The sativa already has buds all up and down the stalks. You can't close your hands around them because of the buds and leaves. They are loose and airy but they are starting to harden up at the tops like the indica.:peace:

I had read somewhere to flood your ladies 15 minutes every 4 hours. the 1st flood should be when the lights come on & you should not flood while the lights are off. far as space is concerned, you can count on them doubling in size when you switch to flowering.

I have never cultivated marijuana, nor do I have any intention of doing so. I only have knowledge from what I have read. I do not condone any illegal activity. blah blah blah

Hey Folks,
I have a plant ready to harvest in a few days. :mrgreen:

This is my first one that will be done. I still like my pop bottle ebb and flow system but I still need to work out the kinks. It's a good setup for small plants. It can be set up quickly, and configured to any size requirement that you may have. Three litre bottles work best but are a little harder to find.
The two plants that I'm taking to the end seem to be doing great. I have one mostly indica and one mostly sativa. This was a big time newbie mistake. The size difference made for a lot of moving the lights and tieing down of the sativa. I snapped the top off at about 11" when I was trying to top, so the main stock is that tall but the branches are about three feet. I split the stalk at one point. Finally, the weight of the plant collapsed the bottle that it was in and I found it on its side a few days ago.
I had already ordered spray nozzles to try the some setups based on Filthy Fletches post, https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/22362-30-minute-6-plant-aero.html ,so I slapped one together.
Unfortunately, the sativas root ball was too big so I slapped together a bucket set up for her.
The Indica is at nine weeks and I think she'll be ready in about a week. I decided to just throw her in a tub with a bubbler. I'm using tecnaflora products so I'm doing my flush with Sugar Daddy and water. I've seen different things but I trimmed the plant and keeping it in the dark longer and only letting it get limited light this last week. I'm planning on revegging this plant so I'll be able to see what happens the next time not trimming and regular light.
I also have two clones from the sativa flowering right now and will see how big these grow with no topping.
One other thing I learned, I'm a lousy photographer. My digital camera is about ten years old, a sony that takes floppy discs. I've looked at new ones, but I'm worried the the pics will be just as bad.
Anyway, there not so good but take a look and let me know what you think.:peace:

It’ll be three weeks tomorrow that my plants went into flowering. Out of the eight I put in, six were males.

The two females are showing some nice hairs but going slowly. I added one more to my flower room a week ago. No signs yet so I’m hoping for another female. This was the smallest one of the bunch. It stayed small and compact, and the leaves looked more like mint.



I started all the plants seven weeks ago. I still have about a dozen vegging. They range from about 8” – 16”.

I started some clones last night. It was a half assed attempt but they look pretty good this morning.

I pruned the lowest branches on my biggest flowering plant because the bud sights were minuscule. I threw them in the trash and didn’t think about cloning till an hour later. I had some small rockwool cubes soaking so I grab my scissors and pulled them out of the trash. I trimmed them and split the stems, dipped them in cloning gel and popped them in cubes. I made four out of the bunch, put them in a dome and set them in the flowering room for the night.

They looked really sorry and were drooping real bad, but when I pulled them out this morning, three of them were looking nice and perky.

Tonight I’m going to start taking clones from my vegging plants. I’m also going to try bagging a branch on one of them to determine sex.

So, the experiment continues. This is certainly a nerve racking hobby. All you can really do is sit back and watch. I spend 15 minutes a day working on the plants and the rest of the day thinking about them. I’m hoping that when I finally get one from start to finish, the anxiousness will diminish.

But then I’ll probably buy some real seeds and it’ll all be new again.

Oh well…. let me know if you have any input.:peace:

You can go 12/12 for couple weeks and sex then put back under 24hr light until ready to flower
