Very nice! They look very sativa, so theyr not even close to being done yet..I'd say about another 1 or 2 weeks. what strain is that it looks like NYC sour diesel..
I see U got about a million more CFL's than I do too lol.. hopefully I'll grow something that looks remotely close to that next time around! thanks for the inspiration!

wats u'r dry wieght??

Nice job man. Yeah that first plant looked pretty weak (the one that didn't get u high), but the others looked good and I'm glad to hear of the good results. What did the trichs look like before this harvest? Let us know how much longer u keep the buds on these plants and how those turn out. Also, do you have anymore of this harvest still curing? Keep us up to date on those too. Good job man!

I agree..

The trichs were all cloudy on plant E, about 20/80 - clr/cldy on plant D, and about 25/75 clr/cldy on plant C. I still have the majority of plant C drying right now, and a bud or two from plant D curing. Im thinking wednesday might be the official *chop everything down day* since I've already started germinating 5 more seeds for the next grow and 3 of them are showing taproots already.





I'll be patient with the last 2 seeds bcuz sativa's and females usually sprout and grow slower than any other ones, so I'd be happy with either

I harvested exactly 14g's ended up with 5.9g's.
they started off weighing about 3g's each (2.85 +/- .3g)..then after they dried they ended up being like .7 or .8 a piece.
I'll probably finish up with a little over an oz - 1 1/2oz total.
But I'll go for quality over quantity any day!

Good report on how they smoked. Thanks. I wonder if anyone else using molasses had that same "disgusting" taste you experienced. Did you use molasses all the way until harvest? Also, when did you stop using nutes/ferts? Did you flush the plants at all before harvest?

I just started flushing my babies today, so hopefully I won't get that molasses taste. NY Sour Diesel? haha where I come from, it's almost impossible to find "good" weed. The most we pay for a quarter is 40, and we have to drive at least 2 hours to find "dank" on the regular. Just smoke that commersh brick weed with tons of seeds and stems. Got tired of paying for that bullshit, do it my own.

No prob.

i wonder the same thing..everyone says it gives it a nice taste, which isnt entirely true. Its a bitter/sweet taste at first then the aftertaste tastes like vomit.

Did you use molasses all the way until harvest?

Click to expand...

Yeah..I think Im gonna use molasses the entire veg and only up till week 4 of flowering next grow. I'll flush it out with the rest of the nutes and hopefully the plant will still have the extra sugars needed to give me some better lookin bud.

I havent fed these plants in soooo long lol!!!
maybe thats why the one is dying lol..j/k

I gave them a flush on 4/22...I remember that bcuz it was the first Cavs game of the playoffs and I always flush on basketball night..its the only time I have any peace. The last Nute feeding was a week before that.

Yeah I shoulda listened to mogie. he says plants only utilizes it from week 4 - week 6 so after that I shoulda stopped using it. (I think thats correct, I'll double check his post and change it later if its wrong, my bad mog, I still hang on to ur every word.)

we have that in common

I started using molasses very early in my grow. Probably about week 3 or so of vegging. I now give them every 10 days or so 2 tbs/gallon. I'm on week 5 of flowering and I'll give them another dose on Sunday. After that, one more dose and then I'll hold off. I've never flushed my girls and I'm not sure if I will either. I've just read so many mixed reports on it.

If Ur using chemical ferts I'd definitely flush soon, simply bcuz I know that when plants use chemical ferts they leave waste behind (salt) and that waste can cause nute-lockout if you dont rid your soil of it. I know that first hand. If Ur growing organically its not necessary.

did U notice any major advantages to using molasses during vegetative growth??? I dunno if it would be a waste or not to use it that early, so I'd like to hear what your feelings are on that.

Day 75 / Flowering 54

I did quite a few changes today. First off I pulled plant C completely, she was just dying and dying, no new growth like the other 2 and her buds were slowly wilting away. confused: she died off early, was she more indica and the other 2 more sativa? Did she have bad gene's? was she from a hermie plant? did she have a disease? was it bcuz it was 2 plants in 1 pot and the stronger plant killed off the weaker? Too many possibilities and I have a lot more bagseed growing to do, so I killed it and decided not to waste any more time worrying. )



I also did a little "Bonsai" to the rootballs on plant D and plant E. I wanted to make them fit into the smaller pots so I could make some room for my 5 (**maybe 6**) new babies [so far 4/5 of them are buried and have at least 1/2 inch taproots and still growing, one seed hasnt done anything in a while so I threw another seed into the paper towel and its possible that I will have 6/6 seeds germinate.. ]

I'm thinking I will re-veg these plants in the same room with the babies starting their vegetative growth, and flower both at the same time. That way if I need to I can just use plant D & E as mothers and cut a few clones from them. Chances are they will continue to flower since they are so far into flowerin and I'll end up killing them and leaveing the extra space to my babies.


This is a comparison shot of plant C's buds (in the foreground) and plant D's buds (in the back)



my next grow will be semi-hydro since I will not be using soil AT ALL..Im growing in a peatmoss/perlite-50/50- soil-less mixture..hopefully they will grow faster than in soil.

forgot to mention lights were on 10/14 from monday thru friday of week 7, today I'm switching lighting schedule to 8/16 - light/dark. trichomes are packing onto plant E, seems like layer after layer. Plant D is packed with Trichs but on the inside, so everytime I examine the crystals I gotta open the buds up and my fingers get covered with sticky crystals and smell like some dankness!

"The Grow Must go on!"

Plants D & E have been in darkness since wednesday and the Buds have gotten SO FAT! I'm completely amazed at their progress! The only problem is that with the growth spurt they shot out brand new white pistols..thats right, about 30% of the pistols were white when they went in there, now about 65% of the pistols are white which means they are no where near done yet. I dont really want them to continue maturing so they dont past peak harvest time, but I dont want to cut them too early..

any advice here would be great.

But I'm also strongly considering re-vegging them. I really loved the way these 2 plants grew and it would be a shame to see their genes die off without even given a chance to re-produce. So Since I already have 4 sprouts above ground Im thinking about just leaving plant D & E in the closet with the others under the 24hr light cycle and as soon as I see a new branch grow from these two I'll give cloning another try and more than likely this time around my patience wont wear down and these will successfully root.

any advice here would be great.

Now for the updates

Day 81/ Flowering 60

I couldnt get any of the 5 seeds I posted last week to sprout, maybe it was the brand of paper towels I was using. It was said to have contained bleach, so I was forced to germinate 5 more seeds and luckily a frined of mine who is also a grower had some seeds he could spare. So far the 4 seeds have sprouted, the fifth seed is well on its way. I believe he said they were Mr Nice GuyX Something..I cant remember. We had just finished smoking some plant C, and one of his plants so we were pretty stoned but when I find out I'll let U all know.

No major updates bcuz they are still seedlings, and the others are finishing up. Hopefully someone will know a thing or two about re-vegging and can shed some light on the questions I posted above. I got some pix for you all to enjoy. I'll be back when I find out more about re-vegging or if I have to cut them down I'll let U all know.

good growing to you all

I find it strange how many "theories" a person can bust in one grow. Miracle Gro worked fine, Jiffy Cubes were fine, My tap water was fine even when I didnt let it sit out for 24-48 hrs, I grew with dreaded CFL's, I used mostly cardboard boxes for everything despite warnings of house fires and I could go on and on...

Maybe I really do have a green thumb...?

I dunno...

But this next grow will be 10x better, just watch and see!!!

hell yeah spitin.
I hope you next grow is as informative as this one has been.

I am thinking of going hydro or soilless on my next grow which will be from clones.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing more from you dude.
Great job..

Yeah, I've had mine on 10-14 for about a week now and can tell a difference in crystal production. All the hairs on the top of the buds are still almost all white, gonna wait until at least a few are red or brown. Checking trichs later today to see how they are. How did the drying and curing of the harvested bud turn out Spittn?

It sux..the weather is too hot and humid! right now its 92*F outside and that takes its toll on everything. the heat causes everything to dry out but the humidity keeps the stems from snapping. hopefully it'll cool off and allow the buds to finish properly.

does it smell terribly bad outside of the box...could this be done in a closet with no smell by using a carbon filter blowing out of the box?

No But a small ionizer and lots of air freshener takes care of that.

Yes, I had my plants in my closet for a while with very little or no smell..

Wow, looks good. How much bud are you expecting to harvest?

LOL! I'm sure everybody looked under my name to see if I was a stranger. I always see this question from strangers and I thought it would be funny. If you didn't think it was funny go smoke a joint and come back to this post and read it again. If you still don't think it's funny let me know and it's back to the drawing board for me and my jokes.

Looks good Spittin'

Week 12.5 / Flowering Week 9.5/ Day 7 Reveg

Few update shots.
The older ones are doing great. I actually found a couple seeds in a few buds..I dunno what that was all about but whatever. I was hoping for a hermie so these 2 would have some seeds behind bcuz this Re-veg is taking its toll. The babies are growing so much faster than the mature ones. Check out the growing they've done within the last 5 days:





more pics to come.
