BIG BUDDHA Blue Cheese CFL Stealth Grow

Yup it was a beautiful plant and the smoke was pretty good. Definitely better than most of the shit that i get around where i live... Yeah well we can only develop and grow by making mistakes and learning from them

yeah i see you had a few mishaps i bet you would of had a zip or 2 with a perfect grow.
sounds like you were having a better grow than tho other guy that grew the top 69.

Maybe, im actually thinking of getting another top 69 after this grow. But i need to make a new grow box, gunna go for a larger scale this time oh yeh you mean Dc4? He had a few problems but i never actually got to see the final yeild

Hey boys and girls, im back early so thought id take some pics for ya.

The little pots that they were in were so small but they left no room for the plants so i transplanted them into 2litre coke bottles that i just cut in half, wrapped in tape and cut some small holes in the bottom.


well heres chloe, as you can see her roots had developed nicely and i think it was just about the right time to transplant
Jades roots were slightly behind but i went ahead and transplanted..

Day 15: Chloe

shes a decent size, could be bigger tho. I need another light in there so ill take a trip out tomorrow to pick one up with the right screw to fit the socket.

Day 6: Jade

Not much to say about her really


And here they are both together. After the transplant i gave both girls a nice watering


Edit: Quick update, found another 30w 2700k cfl, wiped it a little and now ive got 60w in my pc

glad to see you have returned to tend your plants. that suck you never saw his yield. since my bigger plant is a bagseed i have no idea what it is had it for a few years. not sure how common it is but bottom my leaves are turning purple. will have pics up tomorrow.

Oh yeah, ive heard people talking about purple leaves before, not entirely sure but i think purpling on the leaves and stems are a defensive mechanism, cold temps, to much wind, extreme shock, nutes, over nuting(might be in the soil), over watering,under watering can cause it. I might be completely wrong haha, worth looking into tho...

It's a good possibility but doubt its stressed to much just because of growth and really perky. Stalk is greenish/a little woody looking very rigid. I will post pics tomorrow. It will be day 11 from breaking ground. What is reason for PC box stealth? And you move to larger box when they grow?

I was bored and thought why not. I guess it aint too bad for a veg box. And yeh ill be moving 1 of them into my flower room, its the same one i used in my first grow. I plan to build my own grow box at some point with a seedling/veg/flower room, i realy wanna invest in a hps but my budget is rather low atm

yeah i hear ya on that money is tight for sure. i want a led setup do not have the heat to deal with and life of the system is better and pulls less watts.
stay patient it will come. that is why i quit buying to afford a project that will keep giving back. it is a good idea for a veg box i might have to do that while mine is flowering so i can get another crop without waiting the whole 4 months.

Day 17: Chloe

I think she looks pretty small for her age, what ya think?

Day 7: Jade

Jade got off to a slow start but i think shes gunna start growing now

And both together:

Ive decided to start tying chloe down now on day 20, ill have pics up later for you guys.
I watered chloe with 1/2 strength baby bio and jade with just water. Also added a 13w cfl to the side of chloe, now its a total of 73 actual watts of cfl.

Edit: added a 7v ps2 fan for air circulation

sounds like you are doing good.

Chloe
Its week 3, Day 21:16/02/13


Jade: Day 11:16/02/13

So im thinkin of usin FIM on my eldest today, is she old enough or what? Ive never done it before and dont know alot about it. Ive read the basics and i believe you just cut/pinch the top part of the plant to create more main colas yeah? Do you think i should do it? Thankss

Your BB BC looks great. I just started on on Valentines day. It has been a really fast starter so far. The seed popped in less than 24 hours, I planted it in rockwool and 24 hours after that it had pushed through the surface and had a set of true leaves.

I am doing 12/12 from seed in a 2 gal DWC Bucket. Right now she is sharing my grow space with 4 others where I have a 250 HPS over 3 flowering ladies and 2 40w 6500 k CFLs over my 2 plants vegging (The Big Buddha Blue Cheese and a Barneys Farm Amensia Lemon).

Anyway, I am subbed for the remainder of this grow....

Cheers bro and good luck on your grow. Do you know anything about FIMing? I wanna do it but kinda scared ahah some tips would be appreciated

Ok so i went ahead and TOPPED chloe today instead of using FIM, I went by Uncle Bens method.
Chloe: Day22: 17/02/13

Shes getting bigger pretty quick!

Here she is before...

...And here she is just after.

I noticed orangey tips on 2 leaves today aswel, any input?

Jade Day 12: 17/02/13

Shes about 6inches wide now, definitely starting to pick up the pace


And both sisters together

Chloe: Day 25


So ive tied her down abit more today, shes looking really good Im not sure whether the first 2 true leaves are supposed to be yellowing already or not? The rest of the leaves are really dark and feel really strong
When i looked at the bottom of the container almost all of it is covered in roots, so pretty soon im gunna move her into my flowering chamber and place her in a 3gallon tub, but i wanna know if its too soon or not???

Jade: Day 15

Shes lookin really good i think, not alot to say really hahah.. Im going to start tying her down pretty soon but for some reason i like the look of her just growing straight up.

Tomorrow im gunna feed Chloe with full strength baby bio and Jade with half-strength as its her first nute feeding, is this ok?

Thanks guys,

OneLove

any chance you can get bigger pots for them? i know your grow is small but would really be beneficial.
looking good otherwise.

Yeah when i transplant chloe to my flowering chamber shell be goin in a 3gallon pot, i think thatll be enough?
And when that happens ill be able to put jade in a 1gallon lunchbox sorta thing and keep her in the pc to veg
