Masta's Ghetto Buds 2

welcome my dedicated riu'ers to the long awaited gb2. this is dedicated to my 2, oops i mean 1 riu friend lol. last grow i used minimal money and bagseeds to grow around 3 ounces with cfl's and a metal halide for a little bit. one of my girls hermied and prodced seeds. yes i know hermies produce hermies. well with keeping with the broke ass theme i have decided to grow out these seeds with minimal money again. my germ method is a wet paper towel sealed inside a ziploc baggie on top of my computer monitor. all seeds cracked within 24 hours. i then put 3 sprouts in 3 pots to transfer later. all in all i had 9 sprouts. 2 died at first and one more was a runt for 3 weeks and i do mean runt. so it got chucked. my medium is mg moisture control and i vegged 3 weeks under daylight cfl's. now they are starting their 4th week of vegging under a 175w metal halide. i will probably start flowering this week and after they show sex i will transplant ladies to bigger pots. also i have used fish emulsion for ferts so far. also 2 of them are like bonsai.

what is the open bottle of alcohol for?

cleaning my camera lol. wanted to show the height of the bonsai . they all stayed pretty short until now, the metal halide is making them grow nicely so i might veg a little longer.

hey bro, sweet grow. i did NOT mean to rhyme that.
what kind of lights are you flowering with?

not bad it piad for it self and then some lol. but this new grow should be better i have a lot more understanding of plants this time around. and i think bagseed is very good to start with or to test things out on. plus they come free with any hermie bag of weed lol.

beautifully green plants there my friend!
especially that one that looks like a candelabra

good way to keep a mom... lots of cuts in little space =]

if bagseeds all ya got... you'll still turn it into some killer smoke

my friend has been taking some inbred mexican seeds from grow after grow... always finding a few in each... this last run the plants were some great kinds... fruity and delicioius, and got you HIGHHHH... so i'm not one to diss on bagseed...

then again... it can sometimes be hit or miss... i have faith you'll turn up something good though... =]

hell yeah much respect to you and everyone else who stopped by. the plants that i got the seeds from were very nice smoke. like you said fruity tasting and good high. i guess i should take some cuttings. being a beginner my last grow, my attempts at cloning failed so i will try again i guess. i am trying to decide if i want to start flowering or veg a little longer. i guess i am still a greenhorn at growing so this is good experience but seeing all these kick ass strains makes me wanna try some exotic shit. also i was hesitant on this grow because of stealth issues so i would like a new place to live so i could dedicate a hidden area to growing. thanks for the comments guys and i will keep yall updated.

with a smaller mh and some cfls? i'd start flowering now...
make sure to keep all your buds bathed in enough light...

maybe trim some of the bottom off to direct growing energy to the top of the plant... but you can wait to do that till 2 weeks into flower...

ok will do. i have tried trimming and taking off some of the bottom branches but of course lol,i get a little worried about trimming too much. i guess thats my noobness hehe. when i start flowering i will try to get as much light to them as i can. so far with good ventilation i have the cfl's like an inch or less to the plants. i can touch the cfl's and they are not hot. thanks for the advice, and i will try to follow it.

bottom 1/3 of the plant trim off =]

Mastakoosh your plants look great,nice and greeennnnn!
good luck and big yeilds

thanks a whole bunch. big yeilds, i dont know lol, i hope so. last grow from these same genetics were a lot bushier. i didnt top this grow like i did last grow. i did fim once but i wanted to see if topping them a lot stunted growth. i also wanted to see if not topping would give me one big cola on some of the plants. my luck they will be all males haha. i think i undernuted these so far. thanks again for the compliment and hope you continue to come and check on my grow.

zedragon said:

in the words of the big man himself "i`ll be back" lol.
toppimg or fimming will set you back but only by a couple of days while they heal.
i trimmed the lower branchs on my NL and hav a nice size main cola, it will reduce your yeild but save i bit more space for more plants.
i could probly get 3 or 4 unpruned plants in my space but i think 6 or more pruned (lollypopped,sog) in there.

Click to expand...

hell yeah, i guess i will do more lollypopping. do you have a journal or grow i could check out? on a edit i just saw your sigs so i will stop in and check it out.

hey man, you should either flower pretty soon, or maybe top them then flower.
i was thinking, further into the grow you could suspend cfls from the side you know?
the majority of light from cfls comes from the sides, and it would be good light for all your side buds.

Duece.
