First grow, California Orange Bud

melushell · Nov 4, 2007

Hey everyone
total newb here, far away from Spain !!!
i decided to post as I couldn't find lots of grow info/pics regarding this strain

setup:
1 x 1 x 1.8 meters box
(made by me with only one hand as the other one is in a cast after a skydiving accident)
1 x 400w hps (sylvania grolux)
1 x oscilating fan outside the box
1 x tubular extractors 190m3/h
1 x thermostate
1 x hair dryer for heat control

I have germinated 7 Cali Orange from Nirvana, all 7 up & going :hump:

,
thanks to How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds for really good germination tips

I attached the photo with the plants today at 11 days after started germination

untill now my only probs are pretty high temps and low humidity due to high ventilation

I can say I AM REALLY HAPPY UNTILL NOW

ANY ADVICE IS WARMLY WELCOMED

melushell · Nov 8, 2007

so LAgraff i hope it will be a nice crop so i can dedicate it to sunny cali

if anyone had/has this strain, i would appreciate any information regarding what to expect and what to do/avoid.

today is day 19

there is one thing that draws my attention

some of the leaves started a scattered light green a few days ago, it looks like is spreading out and turning into yellow

current sit:

temp is pretty contant around 80-85 F
humidity is pretty low average 20%
i water them ever 2-3rd day. water has half strength veg. nutes
20h of light

i really hope somebody has some feedback, thanks in advance

wbinwv · Nov 9, 2007

I'm no expert but it may be a little nute burn.

melushell · Nov 9, 2007

.....i dunno man, had the light green before I started to feed the nutes, started a bit to amplify from 2 days
thanks a lot for your input tough

melushell · Nov 11, 2007

today is day 21

last water i gave without nutes, i was thinking may be to alternate(one water with nutes one without)

they still look gorgeus, i am really happy, i passed them to 21-3 light cycle, i am really tempted to go 24
(i would like to harvest end january and i want them minimum 20'' before starting flowering)

I found it very easy to grow and lives up to it's name. I will be starting some new ones soon! Good luck with your grow! :mrgreen:

Quit changing your lighting setup so much!

. Just leave the damn things on 24 until flower :joint:

. Plants look good, can't wait to see this flowered.

melushell · Nov 14, 2007

day 23 from seed, i switched to 24 h light,
the grow is just fantastic
YouTube - weed timelapse
i recorded 24h so you can see the actual growth

is weird but nice how the leaves go up an down
also yesterday i did my first preventing neem oil spray, just in case any pests have ideas...

tahoe58 · Nov 14, 2007

the plant is day 24 from seed

today i realized something new on the branches
to me it looks like presex, but i am not sure yet

things start to get interesting :weed:

dirtyal1223 · Nov 14, 2007

looks like some balls are forming... eeeek

melushell · Nov 16, 2007

small update at day 26

full water today with 100% nutes strength
until now i can say i have 2 males and 5 females .....but this is not definitive yet
they are some beautiful plants i am actually thinking to polinate 1-2 flowers so i can get some seeds back (cloning would be best but i don't wanna build another room...ill see tough)

i was looking for some pollen collecting, found some technique with 2 glasses but i cannot understand it well

sweet smokes everyone

melushell · Nov 22, 2007

this is the 1 month update

the look amazing, I took 2 males out, there is still one that is pretty weird and i cannot figure it out what it is

weird but i managed to UNDERWATER them !!!
i was watering every 48 h but that was not enough, i've found them one morning really droopy

now i water them every 24 h they seem to love it (my enviroment is really dry and i veg for 24 h )

TheJollyBrother · Nov 22, 2007

Looking very good! mind if i ask how tall they are at this point? which is a month?
i am also looking to grow some calafornia orange but want to a a SOG. and did you say they r showing signs of sex now? so you have 4 females?

tahoe58 · Nov 22, 2007

excellent results. I love the uniformity, symmetry and fullness of your plants. very sweet man!

when you reference dry? what are your humdity? I am 25-30% and I too see that I am watering every other day....though with som many others on this forum....that seems overkilll....I am truly just going on what my soil "feels" like....and so far I think its ok...but I was curious what you are saying in terms of your dryness. Thanks man! awesome grow! :mrgreen:
