The Church

Would this be a good strain to grow if high humidity is a factor outdoors?

Yes, it is supposed to be very mold resistant.

has anyone else got different looking churches? I have a couple that are very indica looking and a few really sativa like. I guess it's just different phenos but it'll be interesting to compare the two smokes.

Very nice to read all the positive remarks of this strain. Will be starting seeds in the next week. Definitely plan on LST now. Thanks to all for the info.

this is my first grow and it seems to be doing well, although a little slowl. i have 2 church plants and they have been a good plant for my first grow, as the have endured some nute burning early on, high temps (in excess of around 35dergrees in some cases) but they seem rebelius to all these attacks and it seems that they love life.
here are some pics already with no buds they smell out my room!!
ill try keep you posted with the development of this plant also my L.S.D plant
any constructive feedback welcomed

They look healthy like fresh green lettuce. yeah i heard it's a good strain for beginners cause it can take abuse.
keep us updated as i want to see the flowering and bud stage!

here's a couple of my churches that still have 2 or 3 weeks to go, they're very sticky and smell strong n spicy


that triffid thing in the back left corner is a church too, had to chop it yesterday cos it was growing outta control with very very airy buds

I noticed the same thing too. My church was much smaller than my mandalas, even though it was started a month earlier.

I'm about a month into 12/12, and it is looking great. It went from 6-16" in about 2 weeks of 12/12. The buds are very hard and covered in trichomes. This is my first non-bagseed plant I've flowered and I am very impressed. Even this early into flowering it was a LOT more trich coverage than my bagseed plants have at harvest.

very nice can't wait to see them. would you recommend me putting them in the the 12/12 cycle, as mine are 6" and have been growing for around 6weeks or so, how much yield do you recon your going to have come harvest time?

and DodgeDread your buds are looking mighty fine. how tall are your beauties

I vegged em for 5 weeks and they were maybe 2 ft when they went into flower. now they're about 4-5 ft except the triffid which was about 9ft!!!

wow only 5 weeks and they were 2ft.! whats your secret lol

well from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant they were about 3 ft so prob more like 1 1/2ft.

The secret? 2000watts of light maybe?
That or my god-like greenfinger lol

My thoughts exactly. I'll have to go check out his grow journal. He's gotta be doing something much better than I am. kiss-ass Guess it's time to try and learn something new. I'd say mine was probably only 6-8" at that age.

I got so sick of waiting for something big enough to clone that I just threw it into flower. It more than doubled in size very quickly, and I got a clone rooted from her. Since I already started another church, I'll get a choice of mothers.

Did it seem to grow any slower than any of the other strains you had under 2kW?

I'll read through your journal tomorrow, I just skimmed it a little today. +rep for growing some good looking buds.

ok from memory i think to start them off they were under 2 600w hps and 1 200w cfl(blue),
no nutes were given til about 2 weeks,
transplanted only once
all 3 strains grew very much the same speed/height etc except 1 church which grew twice as fast and turned into a triffid!
Now the churches are taller than the rest with that big central cola

I may have exaggerated with the height they were when they went into flower, i just assumed they'd kinda doubled in height at least so they must've been about a foot and a half not 2. Pics on my journal if you can tell from looking at them. The pots are about 12" high if you need a scale
hope this helps

yeh, big help thanks i'll have a read through your journal, sadly i only have a 250w envirolite, and 3 plants to cater for it's not enought light power i know but i'm on a budget. how much yield do you reckon you'll get from each of your churches?

I'm sure you'll do fine with the enviro, i've seen plenty of decent journals using less light
maybe you could get some smaller cfls for side lighting etc?
I'm not too sure how much i'm gonna get from each church since it's my first proper grow but a guess of about 2oz each might be fair

I really don't expect much yield. It's still early, but I'd guesstimate maybe 10 grams? The buds are rock hard though. None of my bagseed grows have been anywhere near as solid. So far it looks great, I just wish it would have vegged a little quicker for me.

2oz.wow. and i know how you feel when they ain't growing fast and you here stories of rapid growth for others, i just think good thinks come to those who wait (HOPEFULLY!)

Wow dodgedread, those churchs don't look a thing like mine.




Heres a shot of my church plant taken day 36 of flower.

She is looking very nice and smelling amazing, a real spicey coffee sort of smell.
Its not yet close to done, but i can already tell the clones from this will be a keeper.

As previously stated, this gal is a slow starter, but really catches up with bud formation.

SpruceZeus, nice looking church. Your bud looks pretty similar to mine. Is this your first time running this strain?
