First Grow

[BlackSheep138]

Setup a make shift hydro propagation for clones so I can find out the sex of the plants. Lights on 12/12 and the 295gph air pump is running to the 16" airstone 24/7 until I can get some sexed clones.

7 weeks today

all the plants are switched over to 5 gallon buckets. ended up pulling the main branches flat (horizontally) to make room for new growth, and it worked out great!

4 days of growth on the tie down method

day 1

day 2

day 3

Day 4

Each plant has about 8-12 main tops, really liking this method. I'm going to wait 3 weeks after transplanting to go to flower (10 weeks veg).

Also, picked up some 1000w fixtures and ballasts, along with some 4ft- 4bulb fluorescent fixtures today for flowering/cloning.

in total for all 4 I paid $110, I had to scoop em up and now I have all the lighting I need for the next 6 months. SCORE.

No longer just a hobby, welcome to the club! Cheers!

Looks interesting Blacksheep.
I like your setup.

The plant with tri-nodes decided to grow 5 nodes. this thing is getting out of control xD

Take a clone and breed it using colloidal silver with your tri girl

 

[Dankman_420]

Haha, it's funny how we all accelerate this hobby into a lifestyle. Looks good brother

got pre flower sexy parts! I trimmed up some pan leaves today and found 4 females and a bunch of 'maybe' females. 3 look like males but I'm going to give them a few more days before I kill em.

hard to see in the pictures but under 120x magnification there are white hairs on 4 of them I'll see if I cant get a magnified pic later!

 

[BlackSheep138]

First confirmed female is Plant #1.2.5!

took a closer look at the plants,

found 3 males

and 6 females!

6 left to sex out yet but numbers are good.

Also- had a heat problem in my tent. with the 1000w it was reaching temps of 87° with little humidity and lots of airflow. I decided to tear down the tent and set them up in the room itself.

temps are now down to 72-78 during the day. I have a small heater that turns on at the same time the nights go off to keep it around 65-67 at night.

Looking good.

Just noticed that sweet DIY grow box you constructed partially from newspapers... man, that's ingenious.

Good call taking down the tent, 87 is a bit warm.

2/24

I let the plants recoup for a week after the switch to 12/12 and today I trimmed up the undergrowth.

6 confirmed females so far
3 males allready removed
2 plants look hermaphrodite
4 unconfirmed.

lots of hairs!

running a 400w and 1000w until the second 1000w gets here. Bad weather may complicate things a bit...

Is this Male or female? it looks like a pollen sack but it has white pistils coming out of it. Hermie?

 

[Dankman_420]

Could just be a calax. I'd keep a close eye on it. Didn't you say you were from the mitten. I saw I thread here called Michigan growers unite. Might be something you would be interested in

 

[MassMedMan]

I've seen those, what I call false seed pods or what usually turns out to be a caylax.

Males in my experience are pods in clusters and pretty obvious. Hermies or nanas are very distinct yellow-ish green banana looking things that are usually found in a semi mature bud. They can be tough to find and like to play hide n seek, but stick out once you've seen them enough. And always come with a sigh....

Stay vigilant. Good luck

 

[BlackSheep138]

lots of white hairs popping up! halfway thru the stretch.

I had one of six clones start doing that on the lower half shortly after the top had formed flowers. I chopped it down fwiw.

Here's the Michigan roll call thread

Michigan Growers Unite!

Hello everyone, the purpose of this thread is to unite Michigan growers so we can all share some experiences, tips, tricks, recipes, etc and keep the Michigan marijuana community growing. With the recent full legalization in our state, some of us are looking to learn to grow ganja at home or...
