that was a wicked 41 page read! did you get the weight wet? goodstuff man:clap::weed:
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed!


i agreeeee. i put more time into growing.. than i did into my last relationship with my gf.. hahaha

:lol: i feel that... At least your guaranteed a good yield with cannabis females if you take the time with them and pay attention - with human females, it's hit or miss, no matter how much work you put into it ;).

OK folks, need your opinions!. So I just checked my paper towel. Looks like we have 1 good seed, and one seed that is possibly a dud. It's a day and a half from me putting them in the paper towel, one cracked, the other didn't. So I thought maybe the waxy layer was too thick on this seed (some strains are like this and thus have trouble germinating seeds), so I took a file and I filed the ridge down, and in my hands the shell cracked open naturally. Now I check about 15 hours later and still nothing besides a little white around the edges of the seed, so I used tweezers and manually pried it open. Now I'm hoping this works, but I have not much hope for it, as it was having trouble from the start. I need 2 plants that are the same strain, and I don't want to run just one white widow. So:

I need help picking my second choice genetics:

I have the following seeds:

Reserva Privada: Headband

Reserva Privada Confidental Cheese

Jillybean:

Super Lemon Haze

Dinafem: Skunk #1

Pineapple Express

The White Widow would be about 2.0-2.5x the original size, I'd hope to match similar genetics for SCROG.

Poppin a new bean tonight.. I'm liking the confidental cheese idea so far, it has similar genetics to white widow.. 70%indica/30% sativa just like the widow (60/40).

I'm thinking Headband, but Cheese would be great too!
Headband is a grow, i've been dying to try, and i was thinking of attempting on maybe my next grow. That and some Vanilla Kush from BF
Hey, but anything you grow Verde, i wanna see :)

Outstanding work!

I popped a Kandy Kush and 1 more Connie Chung into the flower room when my PE came down.

I think I'm going to try out the 2 storage bin for pots idea. Looks like 2 monsters plants worked well for you. I have a 400w as well and i did four 3 gallon pots but my yield wasn't nearly as good as yours. The bigger the ROOTS, the bigger the FRUITS! Wish me luck, and good luck on your next grow, confidential cheese was on my list as well, ill be subbed.

Ok got a Confidental Cheese seed in a paper towel. It looks viable.

I think I'll do another straight headband grow after this confidental cheese /white widow grow.. Those plants yield and stink so great :).

Lets all cross our fingers that this seed cracks, and quickly, it's already a day behind the white widow seed.

i was thinking the confidential cheese as well.. i like the super lemon haze.. but i feel like it would take longer to finish.. and not sure how much it would like the scrog since it will want to stretch along.. heard great things about Jilly Bean as well.

Very inspiring Sr. Read the entire post and am curiously awaiting your yeild. I am a total newb but I Got given jorges book and read it cover to cover. I didn't want to foray into the net until I had a space able to start. I just got a space 18X18 and have about half my big supplies, I.e. fans, hood, lamps, portable ac. Gonna start with something similairly small but I do have about 4 peoples medicine to grow. Now I am reading furiously on RIU and am just blown away by the collective of knowledge.
Since I don't know much about scrog, but am now fascinated thanx to this, have any pointers where to look at for info on them? Also wen you topped the 2nd nodes, where can I find info on that delicate procedure? I have so many more Q's, like what half of the abbreviations were lol, but I hope to share them with the rest of RIU. Thank you again for your journal and happy greens!

Yeah yeah, we're on the same page. As good as some strains sound I don't think they will match up with the widow (jellybean, blueberry, SLH).

So glad i popped that Confidential Cheese. Going to check on it and hopefully plant it tonight, it looked really viable from the start.

Hey dude! Awesome to have your first post in my thread! Stick around! Bookmark RIU, and use the subscribe to this thread feature on cool threads. It certainly makes participating easier.

OK, on to growing!

Glad you read and read first, next I'd recommend you follow some grow journals from people who can grow good bud. Try to pick up on the little pieces of knowledge. Heck I'm still learning stuff just following a friends grow. People never stop surprising you! Even the newbies! :)

18x18 is reallly really small. Way too small for 4 patients. I grew in 24x24 and that was still very tiny, I'm growing in 30x30 now and it's AWESOME space. Especially for a 400w. I like it much moreso than my 250w 24x24 grow. I can do twice as much even though it's only 1/3 larger.

For the Pineapple Express, yeah I topped them but I don't know if that was the best decision for the yield. I feel like a few main colas, and some lower branches trained the right way would have yielded better than topped plants. As far as the info though, it's totally something to read into. Do a google search on Uncle Bens method of topping for a good guide by resident user, Uncle Ben.

Keep going with the questions if you'd like. This journal is done, nothing happenin' here ;).

PS: Reserva Privada: Confidental Cheese sprouted, as well as the Dinafem: White Widow.

Should be a fun grow. Mixed strains, fun stuff.

OK well this blows. All my extra soil is bunk. Someeeeeeone took off the duct tape, left the bags open, and now there are spider webs and shit in the soil. Fuck that shit.

So gotta run to the hydro store early in the morning. The White Widow has been in the paper towel for 3 days, it will probably have a tap root going by the time I actually plant it :lol:

Only.. 7 more hours!
