shnkrmn is in the rough

[shnkrmn]

So, this won't be much of a journal, since everything's almost done at this point. Don't know how I'll create any suspense or anticipation! These were grown in 60/40 soil and perlite. 600W HPS and 4 65W coolwhite CFLs. I never topped since I don't have space issues and it doesn't matter anyway, because at the end of flowering, these girls (3 from a family of 7) never got over 12 inches before I flowered them.

These are the two girls I have left. I chopped one early. They need to go a little longer. The short one is fat. The pistils are about 40% red and trichomes are heading toward cloudy, non amber yet. Flushing with pH'd water; they are yellowing nicely. I think ten days, maybe less.

I cut one plant pretty early. I had issues throughout this grow learning how to water my plants. I know, it sounds so simple. I have drowned plants before and ohhh I was cautious. . . . too cautious. Underwatering is insidious and builds up salts in your soil really quick. Then when you give your plants plenty to drink, all of a sudden too much fertilizer. The end result is slow growth and slow maturation. Even though these plants are short, their yield is satisfactory. Anyway, here's the first of my three girls chopped up:

Thanks, email. Yea, I am the greatest procrastinator. My next grow which is going to start next week will have better documentation. It will be the same mystery strain as the current grow but I'm going hempy style this time. One of the plants in this current grow was in a hempy bucket and got huge but also got male so choppity chop. I hated to waste all that perlite so I stuck a basil plant in there. Whoa! Here she is compared to a soil-bound sibling.

the more details, the more opportunity to make comments

 

[shnkrmn]

Well, I can never hope to reach the level of detail in your journals, although I love to read em.

I used fox farms nutes in the last grow and have no complaints but I'm considering going with something different. Also considering adding an MH light to my arsenal. Time to shop!

all the detail i have in my journal is pretty easy to achieve. I check all those stats daily (twice during 12/12) and the trick is to write them down. once written, i can record them into a real journal anytime.

Thanks for stopping by my little grow! I feel like I should put out tea and cookies for my visitors! I just burned a small sample from a wispy bit. A little harsh, they've only been cut 5 days ago, but sweet and potent!

Nice ones looking damn tasty.

i'll be watching for the harvest

Here's plant #2. It was the shortest and fattest, especially the kola. Stinky and sticky. I'll be chopping #3 probably on Friday. Enjoy! I know I'm going to!!!!

So the third and final plant.......................turns out to be HERMIE!!!!!!!!! It must have been pretty late it decided to do that. I never noticed lol. It doesn't seem to have affected the other two though; they have no seeds I'll post a picture in a while.

 

[email468]

it is normal for female plants to show some male flowers very late in flowering.

 

[shnkrmn]

Well, it was early enough.. This plant is chock full of immature seeds.
