My First Time Growing

[Dr. 215]

Nice and frosty man, great job!

[Racefan]

nice grow but you flowered way too soon. You should have filled in 40% of the holes with bud sites before going to flower. You could have gotten something like this.

This i already know. I said a few posts back that i should have grown a couple plants, and cloned from them for my scrog grow. Give me a little credit, this is the first time i've ever grown =P

Thanks Dr. 215, i can't wait to friggin smoke some after it's done and cured!!

ok, i missed a week there, been pretty busy.

some of the leaves on the oldest plant are starting to die but the buds look fantastic, so i'm not too worried. I've got some pictures... One of all, one of each, and some "tasty nug" pics i took

all 3 females:


female 1:



female 2:



female 3:




Here's the tasty budz section:

Nug 1... This pic looks pretty cool but the combo of HPS and camera flash totally distort the actual color of the buds (mostly white, white hairs, white crystals



Nug 2:



Nug 3:



Nug 4:



Nug 5:



Nug 6:



Nug 7:





I'll get some pics without the hps going and maybe someone can tell me what's up with the leaves dying =)

I been wondering where you've been, jaudiofan. Yeah, the buds are looking good.

As you know, I can't help much with hydro but what's your PH running? What's the feeding schedule like? I'm sure some hydro peeps will come along to help troubleshoot.

Great thread. Keep up the good work.

maybe someone can tell me what's up with the leaves dying =)

Maybe they need a little higher N in your Flower fert?
Could be the N is locked out.
It's not norml when they are that far up in the cola.

Could be light burn/bleaching too, how close are they to the light?
The back of your hand get hot when you hold it above the plants with your palm touching the cola?

They cupping/curling up, like a taco?

[jlaudiofan]

Thanks for your replies, the light was too close so i moved it up, and the leaves started to look much better. The trichomes we going from clear to amber on the middle plant (1st female) so i harvested her. Part of the reason I haven't posted in a while is i've been really, really high

the second female was harvested also, about a week after the first. There were 2 small side buds, other than that the whole stalk was one big fat bud (picture coming)

I also have found 2 seeds so far. One was from Mystery Mary. She is growing really well in the clonebox, and i found it while removing the dead bud tissue. Looks very viable.
The second seed was in a tiny bud i broke up, not sure about that one.

(ive been working out in the shed and writing up this post all day... since then i knocked the seeds on the floor and lost them :(

here's some pics:

main cola, female 1



closeup of it



i just like this picture



and this one is wierd looking, thanks to my cheap camera. but i think i looks pretty cool, like you can see its killer bud spirit or something




I still have one plant growing, i will have a pic of that and some others tonight.

Thanks for your interest!
I'll get some more pictures up tonight

Nice fat and healthy looking, maybe another 2-3 weeks looks like. Good Job.

Thanks XSVBuds, I think i did an alright job. I didn't really start the grow the right way (clones, for the scrog) but what I ended up with so far gets me really high... and that was the whole point!!

I have the one more female still growing, she's gotten pretty big since i rotated her more under the light (the other 2 plants are gone now)

Eyeballing what i've got so far, I'd say there is at least 2 ounces, probably more like 3 or 4. but this last plant will add quite a bit to that, when she's ready to go. Then i can get the clones vegging, and that'll be great !!

I'll have a couple new pics of the clones and the one female i have left

When using a closed container or pot, should water be added to the bottom of the container or the top? Poured over the soil and allowed to sink in? Or added to bottom of the pot and allowed to wick up and soak the bottom roots? Is one better than the other?
