Lowlife seeds auto mix pack grow

[QueenBee]

Thanks, no probs! Im no expert but I can give you advice based on what I did and what I found.
The seeds didnt seem to affect the bud much at all, only 6 seeds amongst all those buds so I barely noticed anything! It was like regular bud but with a seed hiding every here and there. It didnt look like I was getting any pollen on when I did it, I couldnt see any pollen visibly on the brush coz I didnt want it to go all over so I would suggest at least gently tapping the brush a bit after you dip it in the pollen so it doesnt go everywhere.

only 6 seeds amongst all those buds

oh so, all the seeds weren't only produced on the buds you selected to pollinate?

 

[QueenBee]

They probably were, i found them all in the same place but I couldnt remember which exact branch Id attemped to pollinate by the time it came to harvest! Next time Im going to put a bitof ribbon or string or something round the branch that i pollinate so I know which bit Ive done. I did hear the plants can transport the pollen around themselves which is why I didnt want to put much on but Im pretty confident that my seeds came from where I pollinated.

update time

got my light and ballast back from HTG woohoo! (400w HPS)
also, I have botanicare pure blend pro (bloom) from when I tried hydro. I watered them for the first time with it tonight, at 1/4 strength.
does anyone know if its bad to use pbp for soil?

How old are these plants?

How old are these plants?

About a month. They started out really slow, the lights were too far away for 4 days, no nutes, and just cfls. Now I have the 400w and 8 cfls on it.

temps are about 80, i hope that won't stress 'em. it was about 71 degrees before.

To be honest, they look perfect for a month. 80 is no problem, 86 is. Everything seems to be going fine!

thanks for the support. I'm excited, this is the farthest I've ever gotten development wise.

They have about a month left to go, I know there are a lot of factors involved in yield, but I was expecting to get an ounce per plant, is that an unreasonable expectation?

 

[Fyfe]

i would expect to get 3/4 so your not disappointed but it's definitely possible to get an ounce of one plant. possibly more.

 

[juststartin]

ive heard people claiming they got 2 oz of these, im also growing them and it would be AWESOME to get that much but only looking for 1 or just under like fyfe said

 

[Fyfe]

yeh to push 2 oz from one of these conditions would need to be ideal meaning big lights and proper ventilation sysytems. it can be done without a doubt.

i followed queenbee's journal. it was her first grow and she did really well with two 125w cfl's. she got an oscar of one of her lowryders.

so have your plants shown any sex yet?

yeah look at the last set of pictures those are my females

 

[QueenBee]

I wouldnt EXPECT an oz a plant, I was hoping for an oz off 3 so I was really happy to get so much more. If you expect that much you might be dissapointed thats all. And they naturally vary in size and shape so even with the best treatment they might not be capable of an oz. But I didnt use any fancy equipment or fancy fertiliser (I used stuff for tomatoes!) and managed an oz off my best plant so they do have the ability!

 

[Fyfe]

Oh sorry i follow that many lowryder journals i get lost sometimes

so you got three fems from the mix bag?

what that ickle tiny plant hiding in the corner?

 

[QueenBee]

Are you asking me that Fyfe?! Probably not sorry!

well, it wasnt so bad because 12 germinated, and 7 of those survived, so I guess I gotta work on my seedling survival rate. btw love your avatar
