My first horticulture experiment

well i mixed up some 7-7-7 mixed at 1/4 strength along with 2 tbs. of molasses. she is greening up nicely.

the clone that i put outside is looking bad, it was always pretty weak looking since the beginning, the seedling i put out with the clone is looking good. hopefully a little girl

holy cow!! i olny thought i knew what trichomes were. she is getting juicy. thanks nat for setting me straight. i'll get some pics up in a few

she's still kinda yellow but looking better than what she was. the temps are starting to get up there. got up to 93. the humidity has been hanging around 40%.

she's looking good, i'll post some pics tonight.

hey puff puff, thanks for the input about the seeds, i bought some papaya from dutchseeds last night. i hope it was worth it

In my opinion your plants are suffering from a lack of blue light and being pot bound.
I compensate for this by using 2 cool blue shop fluro tubes,very cheap to buy and run but i have noticed much better results from enhancing the blue spectrum whilst burning the hps.
Problem with the hps is that its all red light and this can imo cause some strains especially sativas i have noticed to stall,grow slowly.

Leaves really do need blue light imo.
Your plant would also appear to be pot bound from the look of its leaves.
Sorry if i seem negative,just trying to help.
All of my suggestions are just ways to make your plant bigger and happier.
Not doing what i have said wont hurt your plant but it would make it bigger and healthier

hey nat, i do value your opinion. i just thought this late in the game i would rather her be in a smaller pot than risk transferring into a larger pot. i will have some blue light on her tonight.
nothing you have said is negative, just teaching. big difference.
when i can snatch the stone from your hand i will be ready to grow on my own.

transplant shock is over-rated, superthrive works wonders :-]

the temps have been great and could not ask for better with the humidity.
i picked a bud friday night. it was one of the best buzzes i've had in awhile.
can't wait for to be properly dryed and cured

looks pretty sweet

looking good!! did you start flushing yet..just wondering how meny weeks your are looks about 6 1/2 weeks.. into flowering i use finalfase to flush.. it works grate what a big chang in flaver then when i did not use it well worth the 15$...... well good luck and happy growing...

just letting everyone know that everthing is doing great with my girl. i started giving her water mixed olny with molasses last night. all the trics are a nice milky color with a few amber ones. wish i could get some super close up shots to show her off. i'll get some pics posted later on. i'm thinking maybe sunday i'll break out the scisors. we'll see

all is well with me and my girl. the temps have been getting in the high 80's and the humidity has been going 40 to 60%. the trichomes are a yummy looking cream color, not alot of amber but i can see more of them everyday.

i've been giving her ph'd balanced water mixed with molasses for about a week now. tonight i flushed her with the molasses mix. i'm thinking of chopping sunday so tonight might have been her last meal.

i need to go study about the light cycle for the last couple of days of her life. i've seen where folks cut back to 10 hours a day. what are your guys thoughts on this?

she's still not ready to chop. and after doing a lot of searching and reading, i've decided to leave the lights alone. if it works, don't fix it

another day and still no harvest, i gave her another big drink of molasses mixed water.
i'm getting impatient. maybe thursday?

i had to take an unexpected trip last friday, i soaked her down before i left, and when i got home last night the soil was dry but she was still green, so i soaked her down again. she is looking great tonight. i cut a branch off before i left too. i smoked a bit of it tonight. damn good buzz. still harsh. i'm going to use the jarring method for curing. she may get cut tommorow. i still need to unpack my camara so i'll get some pics up before i cut her down.

read your journal through looks like you'll get around 1.5 oz's
if i may i'd suggest Le Fruit Defendu... here's a link
Buy Le Fruit Defendu marijuana cannabis seeds from Holland.
its made from blueberry so you'll def get good flavor

well folks, i managed to harvest and smoke some of the best weed i have ever had!! i got 2 ounces. i'm going to completely redo the grow room and i have been messing with hydroponics this summer with tomatoes. i'm not sure if i want to grow these papaya seeds hydro or soil? i feel a lot more comfortable with soil. i'll keep you all posted when i get started.
