thanks again cb, yes it is, not that i knew how much i was gonna get but i guessed about 1 1/2 to 2 ounces and thats right where its at. the biggest thing is you lose 2/3's of the weight, over 160 wet, 52 dry, kinda sucks, but its still some good ass weed, im very happy with the results.

here is my complete grow journal i kept in word on my computer from start to finish, enjoy!!
GROWING NOTES:
2-17-2010, Found a new germ dome and wet some paper towels with the rain water. The dome is in the box right now warming up for the bag seeds. I'm shifting through seeds right now to find the best 2. Will put them in the dome here in a little bit and then put them in the dark on a heating pad. Started them at 10 pm on 2-17.
2-20/10:30 am, the beans have popped, 1 tap root is about a 1/2" and the other 1 is just starting to pop out, but I put them both in any ways. now the fun begins, waiting to see the green, LoL. Total time for germination was about 60 hours. 1 thing i did notice, the pot closer to the intake fan dries out a little quicker than the far 1, have to keep an eye on this. the next thing im gonna work on is sealing up the light leaks around the door and the intake fan. well thats all for now, time smoke a bowl, LoL. heres some pics. ill post later if the temps come down, later
2-21/12:30 pm, the bean has broken ground in a little more than 24 hours.
2-23/11 am, 1 of the plants is doing great, the other, not so good. ive got another bean germinating (not sure if its the same stain) right now that i put in last night and it already shows a small tap coming out. should be ready tonight i think. this means the plants will be 3 to 4 days apart. temps still running at 86 with spikes of 88, but i have the light down to 5" above the plant. 8 pm, i have pulled the runt plant and have now put the other germinated seed into the pot. this seed germinated with a 3/8" tap root in less than 24 hours. i lowered the lights to 4" above the plant and the temp is running 84 but is bouncing between 82 and 86 and the hum is 39%, things are looking good so far.
　
2-25/12:30 pm, the new bean is up and getting ready to spread its 1st 2 leaves, this 1 is 4 days behind the other. the temps down to 82 with the new 6" oscillating fan blowing on the lights.
2-26/2 pm, Today, the 1st plant is 5 days and the 2nd is just 30 hours old, they look to be doing very well. Temps are very good now at 82 and hum is 26% at half way through the lights on cycle.
2-27/2 pm, old bean and new bean (thats their names) are doing great, im much happier growing in soil than the hydro setup. so their 6 days and 2 days old today and really looking heathly, kinda sucks tho, theres nothing to do but watch them grow now.
2-28/2 pm, the plants are looking very healthly today, things are going very well right now, temps are good.
3-1/2 pm, the beans are doing great at 8 days and 4 days, so far, there have been no problems, from here on out until something exciting happens, i will only update every few days. new bean is now on the left and old bean on the right. not sure if they are same strain or not, seeds were mixed up from 3 different bags i had.
3-3/1 pm, so today is day 10 for old bean and day 6 for new bean. old bean has just sprouted its 3rd set of leaves, when the 4th set starts, i will top that set and see what happens. i will do the same on new bean when its 3rd set comes in. 1 thing is on old bean, 1 tip of the 1st fan leaves has like a burn on the end, the temps are fine and im not over nuting them. i might have touched it to the light when i was moving them around. both plants have had 1/4 strength nutes in rain water since sprouting, but i dont see that being a problem as they very healthy and i am using plain potting soil with no nutes built in, only perlite. i water 2 times a day through the dripper system for like 10 seconds each time, seems to be working out so far. i just mixed up a gallon of 1/2 stength bloom nutes that i will use when i switch the lights to 12/12. i will do that when old bean hits 14 days old.
3-5/2 pm, old bean is 12 days old and new bean is 8, i topped both of them today ob at the 4th leaf set and nb at the 3rd leaf set. i will let them go a couple of days to "recover" from the topping and the switch the lights to 12/12 and start giving them bloom nutes at that time. i have no idea what im doing and have only seen pics of topping so i hope this works. i also cut the burnt leaf tip off as seems it was going backwards up the leaf, this should stop that, otherwise, the plants are looking great.
3-6/10 pm, this is really only my 3rd grow and since using soil, things are much better. the box is great, i mean $13 for a complete grow room is pretty awesome, and its so easy to make a hole for a fan or whatever, works for me anyway. i use a 1 gallon milk jug, in the top i punched 2 holes for the tubing. 1 tube runs to an on/off valve i use to control the flow. it then goes to a "T" to water the 2 pots, on the ends are 2 drippers, not sure what rate, but there the 1/4" blue rainbird drippers.
the jug is full with a mix of 1/4 strength nutes in the pic along with florida rain water. the other tube is a vent tube and to get the flow going, i just blow in the vent tube once and then the system stays pressurized and is controlled by the on/off valve. this thing works pretty good. i used just rain water for only the first couple days after they sprouted and then switched to the 1/4 nutes. i water them at about 9 or 10 am just after the lights come on for about 10 seconds with the drippers pointed right at the base of the plant and then again at midnight or so again for 10 seconds and thats it. i will adjust that as the plants get bigger.
if the MG soil your using has built in nutes, im not sure what and when your add other nutes. my soil isnt the MG violet mix as stated, i never got to home depot and i got in a hurry and just took some dark black soil with perlite mixed in it from an old 5 gallon pot my sister had out front, so there were no nutes in it and i also added some cheap 99 cent top soil from walgreens.
i just topped them so i will wait a couple more days before i change the lights and nutes. i hope to have my worm castings and bat gauno on monday. im gonna use a mix of both for the flowering stage and use an 1/8 cup of each to a gallon of water. i think im gonna water with the dripper and use a spray bottle also to spray the nix right on the plants along with the bloom nute mix. whether all this is right or wrong, its working for me and this is my best grow yet, so far, and im having fun doing it.
3-8/2 pm, the beans are looking great at 15 days and 11 days. heres some pics. you can see new growth around where i topped them, funny tho, new bean is showing better growth than old bean. i think i will wait a couple more days before putting then into flowering mode.
today has been 1 month since the hip injury and im starting to "walk" with the crutches, not just swing on them. i am very happy with my progression so far after not goin to a doctor or the hospital or having any type of medication except smoking weed and some excedrin.
3-9/2 pm, the beans have new shoots from where they were topped. new bean has 2 new shoots that should be 2 main colas, old bean on the other hand is only showing 1 new shoot so far??? i will give them a couple more days before putting then into flowering mode. i also will only use rain water for the next couple days till going into flowering mode.
3-12/3 pm, i switched the lights to 12/12 last night and started the flowering nutes. i was able to get in a weeks worth of worm castings (1-0-0) and have also topped the soil with some. the flowering nutes are mixed at 1/4 strength with a full tablespoon of bat guano (0-7-0). old bean is 19 days old and new bean is 15. the plants used just about 2 gallons of water to this point watering twice a day, everyday.
3-15/3 pm, the beans are 22 days and 18 days old today. new bean has caught old bean in growth both plants look great and are full and bushy. now i'll wait to see signs of sex and hope for the best. either way, i will finish the grow to the end. old bean is gonna have 3 main colas and new bean will have 4. only 1 shoot came out where i cut it.
3-23/9 pm, today is 30 days for old bean and 26 days for new bean. old bean turned out to be male as it has seed sacs all over, i will still keep growing it tho as it has bud sites all over it too. new bean hasnt showed any buds yet, but plenty of bud sites are starting. the plants are drinking about a gallon of juice every 4 or 5 days now, i have upped the nutes to 3/4 strength now. they are in the 11th day of flowering.
3-25/2 pm, kill it? ive spent a month taking care of this thing, no way, im growing it till the end, LoL. no really, its all i have right now and i didnt really expect 2 females out of bag seed, so im gonna let it grow and then clean out the box best i can. as you can see, old bean is popping out buds and seeds eveywhere, but new bean hasnt done anything yet, no buds, no sign of sex, nothing, just grows and looks pretty, LoL.heres some pics, today is 32 days for old bean and 28 for new bean, tomorrow will be 14 days of flowering. the last 2 are the shoots where i had topped them, old bean with 3 and new bean with 4.
6 pm, well, i fucked things up. turns out new bean is a female, so i took old bean out and tried to tie down the branches on new bean and broke it off!! i took the "cutting" and dipped it root shit and stuck it in a cup of dirt??? this sucks, dam i hate to kill off old bean just to keep 1 female, should have just left them alone, oh well.
7:30 pm, WELL I CHOPPED OLD BEAN, AND THREW IN THE CUTTING OFF NEW BEAN. I HOPE NEW BEAN RECOVERS AND IS OK. MY SISTER, WHO DOESNT SMOKE, IS MAKING BROWNIES RIGHT NOW WITH ALL THE LEAVES, LoL.SHE LIKES TO COOK. WILL TEST THOSE OUT IN A BIT. IM BUMMED.
3-26/7 pm, today is 29 days for new bean and she seems to be doing well after yesterdays screw up. me and my sister both ate the brownies made from old bean last night and it was funny, my sister said she hasnt slept so well in a long time, LoL. i also kept all the tiny little buds that were on old bean, there drying right now. dont know if they will do anything, but we'll see.
3-28/4 pm, new bean is 31 days old today and doing great. there are preflowers everywhere and i cant wait to start seeing some buds on her. i tied down the other main branch just a little to try an even out the height to the light.
4-4/7 pm, i had 2 plants, but 1 turn out to be a male (old bean), so i chopped it and my sister made brownies with it, LoL. the other (new bean) turned out to be a female and she's doin great at day 38. she has plenty of bud sites forming on 3 main branches. just the 1 plant fills the whole box with lst on the 1 main branch.
4-7/5 pm, its day 41 and about 3 1/2 weeks into flowering. temps are running a little high, about 84/88 during the day and the humidity is at 41 to 45%, which is great. new bean has bud sites all over her and is looking very good. i am watering her twice a day and go through a gallon of nute juice in about 4 to 5 days. nutes are just under full strength and a full scoop of bat guano.
4-23/1 pm, its day 57 and 6 weeks of flowering. nb has come along real nice, i wish i would have gotten some clones, thinking about starting some new seeds and hope to get another female. there are plenty of nice buds forming now, i will have to start watching closer to see when she will be ready for harvest. she drinks about a gallon every 4 days of water and nutes. for flowering, i have been mixing 1/2 scoop of worm castings (N), 1 scoop of bat guano (P), almost a full scoop of jacks and the GH bloom. this has worked good so far watering twice a day. the leaves around the buds are full of crystals and very sticky to the touch. the buds have white hairs all over them, they look so good. i cut a smaller bud off the bottom and dried it out under one of the exhaust vents on the box. i cut it up and smoked it in a wooden pipe and it really didnt have much taste to it, but it gave me a stoney high for about an hour or so, it was pretty good. today, i also took her out of the box and vacuumed all the fans, the floor, and the bulbs to get rid of all the dust. the temps are running at 82 during the day with the ac on and 79 at night with the lights off.
4-28/9 pm, ok, its day 62 and i gave my girl a haircut. i know your not suppose to cut the fan leaves off, but i want more light to get to lower part of the plant to help make the smaller buds bigger. i mean what can it hurt? its not that far from harvest and it should help the buds, now we'll just wait and see, if it dont work, i wont do it again. also, i fucked up watering her tonight, while messing with lights, i let the water run a little to long and almost flooded the box and filled the catch pan up all the way, caught it just in time. so i wont water for a couple days now as im sure it got enough for a few days. the buds are filling out real nicely, but the plant has stopped growing in height. I havent had to raise the lights in a while. the last week i think i will just water her with plain rain water to do my flush.
5-3/7 pm, new bean is 67 days today, but she is looking ill??? will have to look up what these leaves are trying to tell me. its 7 1/2 weeks of flowering, should be close. i might have hurt her with the over watering/nutes maybe.
5-4/6 pm, i did screw up the other day and dumped about a half gallon in her. i have a tester, my ph is 6.5 in the soil, so i think that is fine. temp doesnt go over 84, so thats ok too. its day 68 and day 53 of 12/12 flowering and things are going ok, heres a couple pics. i too just cut a small bud off and its drying out right now, will give a smoke report later. im going to the u-haul store tomorrow and get my veg box, its only $3 for a heavy duty box that is 18" x 18" x 24" (4.5 cu/ft). should be the perfect size just to start the plants in and/or cloning. i'll have 2-23 watt bulbs and 2-80mm fans for exhaust and a passive intake.
5-5/5 pm, so i went to the u-haul store today and picked up another ghetto box to use as a veg/clone box, cost, $4. a Y adapter and a socket plug and a couple blubs. 2-80mm computer fans for exhaust and a passive intake, oh and a 99 cent extension cord and there you have it. total cost about $14, not bad. heres some pics. i am also making up another gravity fed water jug for this box too. Box dimensions are: 24" x 18" x 24" (6.0 cu/ft). new bean is 69 days old and at 54 days of 12/12 flowering, she'll be ready in about a week and a half. buds are fat and fluffy, but feel pretty dense. i want to start a couple more seeds to get a head start on the next grow. probably will use bag seeds again and try to get another female.
5-6/6 pm, day 70 and tomorrow will be 8 weeks of flowering. the plant seems like the leaves are drying out and real crispy like there burnt, temp is 84 at its highest and the lights are far enough away. i dont think its the lights cause its doing it all over the whole plant. i looked at the trichs and they seem to be still clear to cloudy or milky, so im getting close to cutting all the top colas off. not sure what went wrong here towards the end, but something isnt right. the soil is still real wet from my watering screw up and thats when the problem started. over water/nutes maybe. we'll see. i just was reading something about cutting off fan leaves, that might be where i screwed up, i dont think i'll do that again. heres the link to the thread.
7 pm, well i cut one of the middle size buds off and its drying out in the veg box with just the 2 small exhaust fans running to draw passive air acrossed it. i'll give it a couple days and try it out.
5-7/12 noon, the bud is still in the veg box drying, will check on it later this afternoon. today i have started my flushing, i changed my water jug to plain rain water now for this last week of flowering, new bean is 71 days old and today is 8 weeks of 12/12. i am planning to cut the main buds down on or before next friday, will still watch the trichs for color, im looking for cloudy to light amber and i think they will be good, will give report on test bud smoking later tonight.
8:30 pm, so i just loaded a chunk of bud into my little 4" bong and did 3 hits im happy to say that the bud is fire!!! i am thrilled shitless at how good this stuff is. im just kicked back layin on the bed watchin the race, its like a trippy deep stone, deff not an uppity high, kinda of numbing, im fucking stoned, LoL. this is so awesome, i did it!!!
5-8/6 pm, so i cut another mid sized bud off and its drying now for smoking in a couple days. this shit is pretty good, it came from some good mids. the high is almost couchlock i guess cause i just did hits and i just wanna kick back and chill out. the taste is, well there is none. its pretty smooth, but just no taste, which is fine with me. as long as it gets you stoned, and it does.
5-12/5 pm, i got the scale from ebay today, nice piece for $9. i cut a 3rd bud off today and weigh it, 6.8 g's wet. so the other 2 were a bit smaller, im guessing, 5 g's and 6 g's wet by the size of them, so not sure how much dry. i plan on cutting the 5 big tops off on friday and let the rest go a couple more days where i can lower the lights for them. new bean is 76 days old and its been flowering 61 days. friday will be 9 weeks of 12/12 flowering. i think im gonna unplug the lights thursday night so they dont come on friday morning and give them 24 hours of darkness right before cutting friday night. so i'll be busy cutting and trimming for a while. i will weigh it all wet before i start to dry it. also, i have 4 seeds picked out for the next grow, hoping i can start all 4 and weed out the males and i'll just keep growing any females i get. a 2 plant grow would be nice with just topping and no LST this time.
5-13/5 pm, today is day 77 for new bean, the lights are off and i will cut the 5 main tops tomorrow around 8 pm, thats 24 hours of darkness, suppose to bring out more resin right before harvest. i will then turn the lights back on for a couple more days and lower it for the leftover smaller popcorn buds and get them on monday. i opened the box this morning and the pie pan was full to the top with water. i didnt even use that much flush water yesterday when i watered???? dont know whats up with that. i have the veg box all setup now for drying the buds, im gonna wait till sunday and germ the new seeds then. its gonna be enough taking the girl down and dealing with trimming and drying right now. more tomorrow. oh, and the bud i cut yesterday that weigh 6.8 was dry this morning at 3.8, not bad, and dam its good!!
5-14/3:30 pm, well, upon closer inspection, i've decided to go another week. the trichs are just milky, so i think its best i go a little longer. i've checked out radio shack for their scope. they have it in stock right down the road from me. heres a pic and its only $12.50. its funny to read all the reveiws that talk about how well it works for checking trichs, well, back to the setup, i have to hook everything back up now.
5 pm, i got everything all hooked back up. the flowering box is back to 12/12. today is day 78 and 63 days of flowering. i tied the 5 main branches back down, kinda crazy tho, there all twisted around the box instead of just straight down, looks real any ways, LoL. i guess will still just use plain rain water and keep flushing, so next friday when i cut, that will be 2 weeks total.
i also got the veg box all setup and ready along with another gravity fed water system. i can use it for drying the buds or for starting my new grow, so im still not sure when im gonna start my new seeds.
5-18/2 pm, i cut 2 smaller buds, they weighed in at 0.6 grams dry, that brings the total of cut dried buds to right about 11 grams so far. smoke is smooth with an ok taste and the high is good, a very lazy stone, my body sinks down into the chair and eyes are very heavy. today is day 82 and day 67 of 12/12 flowering, i was hoping it would be ready to cut this friday, but i still may need to let her go just a little more time than that. this friday will be 10 weeks of flowering. im still giving her plain rain water for now until the end. i wont give her any water the last day and i will go with the 24 hour dark period before i harvest the 5 main tops. theres not really that many smaller buds left, so i think i will just cut the whole plant down and be done with it. i didnt germ the new seeds yet, not sure when i wanna start my next grow.
5-21/5 pm, day 85 and its been 10 weeks* in 12/12 flowering mode. the 5 main buds look kinda fat and dense, but the trichs are still just milky or cloudy. i hope at some point they start to turn amber, im still gonna cut when there 50/50. i cut the 4th small bud off for testing, it weighed 3.0 g's. this one came off the bottom of the biggest bud. and the last pic is of some new shoots coming in, wonder if i can clone one of them?
*this is wrong, the timeline is corrected on 5-25
5-22/6 pm, test bud 4 got smoked last night, deff gettin better, so i didnt get a dry weight on it. its day 86 and i cut test bud 5 off eariler today and it weighed 3.0. it was also off the lower part off the biggest main cola. im not gonna try an clone the new shoot, just a thought. i hope this shits ready to cut next week, im putting the new seeds in the germ dome right now, that way they should be ready to put in the soil by monday night or tuesday. when they sprout, they will go in the veg box till i cut new bean down. then i will put buds to dry into the veg box and move the new plants to the main box. when i do this, i will start another thread, but i will post a final on new bean on this thread.
5-23/3 pm, new bean is still looking good on day 87, im starting to see more amber trichs, but just a few, test bud 5 is pretty good, smokes good, tastes ok, real stoney. this is gonna be the 3rd week with just plain rain water for flushing. i maybe should have gone 1 more week withs nutes.
5-25/3 pm, new bean is 89 days old now. still watching trichs, a few more are turning amber, shouldnt be long now. test bud 6 is still drying, should be ready for tonight. both boxes are up and running, i'll be glad when nb is done, i dont dig trying to take care of this much. 1 plant almost ready to harvest, 2 new seeds getting ready to pop out of the ground, still 2 seeds germing, a bud drying, and writing stuff in 2 journals. it rained hard today and i filled up my jugs with 9 gallons of rain water. i gave nb 1 more doze of bat guano and jacks bloom, will go back to plain water tomorrow. test bud 6 weighed in at 1.7 g's.
9 pm, i was just reading brandon837's post and it got me thinking. im not at 10 1/2 weeks of flowering, im at 10 1/2 weeks of 12/12. i went back and looked at pics to see when i saw the first flowers and that was at day 36 of the grow, so that means im only at day 55, not 75 of flowering and this friday will only be 8 1/2 weeks of flowering, not 11. does this make sense? i guess the main thing will be to watch the trichs, i will cut regardless of time when they are 50/50. Dam!!
5-26/4 pm, day 90 for new bean, im gonna mix up another batch of nutes to give her 1 more gallon and then go back to plain water after that. took another bud (#7) off today for a buddy, it was 3,1 wet so thats like 1.3 dry, so that will make about 16 grams dry ive got off her so far. i also picked up some jars at the thrift store today for curing, 1 big jar and 5 smaller 1's, total: $3.50, not bad i guess.
5 pm, i took yet another test bud # 8, it weighed 1.2 wet so that makes a wet total 33.7 g's and dry right around 16.7 g's which really isnt to bad with the 5 colas still on there.
5-27/1 pm, well this really blows!! test bud 8 was dry this morning and i weighed it and guess what, it doesnt fucking weigh anything?!?!? i pushed down on it and the scale jumped around and it still didnt weigh anything, so i guess it really doesnt exist!!
10 pm, well its day 91 and from my notes, its been 57 days of flowering. so i guess i have another week or so to go. test bud #9, 1.7 g's wet.
5-29/6 pm, day 93 for new bean and shes still kickin, i mixed up 1 more jug of juice and then will go with plain rain water till i cut her down. test bud 9 dried and im smokin it so i dont know what it weighed, but im guessing .5 or .6 g's, so the total dry ive taken is a little over 17 grams.
5-30/4 pm, new bean is 94 days today, looking happy in her retirement home. 1/2 a gallon of juice left to give her, then start flushing again. buds are looking good, cant wait to cut those 5 main colas. thanks to chainseeker, i did a little test and ended up taking out the big intake fan, it lowered the temp 4 degrees to 84.
5-31/3 pm, today is day 95 and day 62 of flowering. test bud # 10, 1.7 wet.
6-1/7 pm, today is day 96 and new bean is still thinkin about being done, but not yet. oh, and test bud 10 weighed .7 g's so that brings the total to right about 18 grams of dry bud so far and theres still plenty of small buds and the 5 main colas on the "vortex"
6-3/8 pm, day 98 for new bean/the vortex and yesterday was 9 weeks of flowering. and i took yet another test bud, #11, wet weight was 1.0 g's. its like starting a second phase, kinda weird, but my boxes arent sealed up from outside light the either. i think that might have something to do with it. the trichs are all real milky with still only a few ambers, thats why im cutting it next wednesday no matter what, the smoke is clearly good enough for me so chop chop.
6-4/7 pm, today is day 99, and day 66 of flowering, so that makes it about 9 1/2 weeks. i think im gonna cut this on e big cola off tonight and trim it up and start drying it. i will post wet weight in a little bit when im done. its weird, theres a lotta new growth going on all over her. so i got a lot of work tonight to trim this bud up and top the 3 new plants tonight when there ready a bit later,
7:30 pm, i cut the 1st bud off, wet weight, 35.5 grams.its hanging in a dark spot right now drying.
6-5/5 pm, 100 days for new bean and day 67 of flowering which ends up being 9 weeks and 4 days. i just went over new bean real good with the scope and heres what im gonna do. i gonna cut the other 4 main colas off tonight here in a little bit, i think shes done. i can see all the trichs are just starting to go past cloudy and have a slight brown/amber hus to them so i think its time. when im done cutting and trimming those, i will try to get the rest of the little buds that are left so i can take out of the veg box and use it for the drying box. the bulbs will go into the flower box for the new plants, which only have 4 bulbs in the now. more later after i cut and trim these buds.
6:30 pm, so i cut the other 4 big buds and here they are this brings me up to 103.8 (5 main buds) + 31.9 (all other buds ive taken) = 135.7 total wet weight ive cut off now. all 5 are now hanging on a stick in the closet, i will move them into the veg box went i get done cutting.
6-6/1 pm, well new bean has come to her end, 101 days total time from the first day she popped out of the soil to today, the end of harvest. just for the hell of it, im gonna try to keep that little new shoot/bud growing. im using the schultz take root and jeffy peat pellet and putting her in a cake dome to see if i can keep her a little while longer. thank you new bean, you will be missed. i got just over 140 grams wet from her. its all in the veg box drying and then will go in the jars to cure. so add to the total of 135.8 all the other little buds i cut today which im guessing to be about 25 more grams. so the grand total wet is right at 160 grams.
6-8/3 pm, so the total weight for new bean dry is...........52.7 grams!!!!!! not bad for my first sucessful grow with 1 plant. thats all the "test" buds ive smoked, 18.4, all the buds in the pics, 30.8, and the 3.5 g's i have in a bag that im smoking right now.
so there you have it, start to finish of old bean, the male and new bean, the female. its been fun and thanks to everyone for coming along for the ride. new bean will be updated in the new journal with the new plants as long as she makes it, come along for that grow too if you want, heres the link.
New Grow
GROWING NOTES:
2-17-2010, Found a new germ dome and wet some paper towels with the rain water. The dome is in the box right now warming up for the bag seeds. I'm shifting through seeds right now to find the best 2. Will put them in the dome here in a little bit and then put them in the dark on a heating pad. Started them at 10 pm on 2-17.
2-20/10:30 am, the beans have popped, 1 tap root is about a 1/2" and the other 1 is just starting to pop out, but I put them both in any ways. now the fun begins, waiting to see the green, LoL. Total time for germination was about 60 hours. 1 thing i did notice, the pot closer to the intake fan dries out a little quicker than the far 1, have to keep an eye on this. the next thing im gonna work on is sealing up the light leaks around the door and the intake fan. well thats all for now, time smoke a bowl, LoL. heres some pics. ill post later if the temps come down, later
2-21/12:30 pm, the bean has broken ground in a little more than 24 hours.
2-23/11 am, 1 of the plants is doing great, the other, not so good. ive got another bean germinating (not sure if its the same stain) right now that i put in last night and it already shows a small tap coming out. should be ready tonight i think. this means the plants will be 3 to 4 days apart. temps still running at 86 with spikes of 88, but i have the light down to 5" above the plant. 8 pm, i have pulled the runt plant and have now put the other germinated seed into the pot. this seed germinated with a 3/8" tap root in less than 24 hours. i lowered the lights to 4" above the plant and the temp is running 84 but is bouncing between 82 and 86 and the hum is 39%, things are looking good so far.
　
2-25/12:30 pm, the new bean is up and getting ready to spread its 1st 2 leaves, this 1 is 4 days behind the other. the temps down to 82 with the new 6" oscillating fan blowing on the lights.
2-26/2 pm, Today, the 1st plant is 5 days and the 2nd is just 30 hours old, they look to be doing very well. Temps are very good now at 82 and hum is 26% at half way through the lights on cycle.
2-27/2 pm, old bean and new bean (thats their names) are doing great, im much happier growing in soil than the hydro setup. so their 6 days and 2 days old today and really looking heathly, kinda sucks tho, theres nothing to do but watch them grow now.
2-28/2 pm, the plants are looking very healthly today, things are going very well right now, temps are good.
3-1/2 pm, the beans are doing great at 8 days and 4 days, so far, there have been no problems, from here on out until something exciting happens, i will only update every few days. new bean is now on the left and old bean on the right. not sure if they are same strain or not, seeds were mixed up from 3 different bags i had.
3-3/1 pm, so today is day 10 for old bean and day 6 for new bean. old bean has just sprouted its 3rd set of leaves, when the 4th set starts, i will top that set and see what happens. i will do the same on new bean when its 3rd set comes in. 1 thing is on old bean, 1 tip of the 1st fan leaves has like a burn on the end, the temps are fine and im not over nuting them. i might have touched it to the light when i was moving them around. both plants have had 1/4 strength nutes in rain water since sprouting, but i dont see that being a problem as they very healthy and i am using plain potting soil with no nutes built in, only perlite. i water 2 times a day through the dripper system for like 10 seconds each time, seems to be working out so far. i just mixed up a gallon of 1/2 stength bloom nutes that i will use when i switch the lights to 12/12. i will do that when old bean hits 14 days old.
3-5/2 pm, old bean is 12 days old and new bean is 8, i topped both of them today ob at the 4th leaf set and nb at the 3rd leaf set. i will let them go a couple of days to "recover" from the topping and the switch the lights to 12/12 and start giving them bloom nutes at that time. i have no idea what im doing and have only seen pics of topping so i hope this works. i also cut the burnt leaf tip off as seems it was going backwards up the leaf, this should stop that, otherwise, the plants are looking great.
3-6/10 pm, this is really only my 3rd grow and since using soil, things are much better. the box is great, i mean $13 for a complete grow room is pretty awesome, and its so easy to make a hole for a fan or whatever, works for me anyway. i use a 1 gallon milk jug, in the top i punched 2 holes for the tubing. 1 tube runs to an on/off valve i use to control the flow. it then goes to a "T" to water the 2 pots, on the ends are 2 drippers, not sure what rate, but there the 1/4" blue rainbird drippers.
the jug is full with a mix of 1/4 strength nutes in the pic along with florida rain water. the other tube is a vent tube and to get the flow going, i just blow in the vent tube once and then the system stays pressurized and is controlled by the on/off valve. this thing works pretty good. i used just rain water for only the first couple days after they sprouted and then switched to the 1/4 nutes. i water them at about 9 or 10 am just after the lights come on for about 10 seconds with the drippers pointed right at the base of the plant and then again at midnight or so again for 10 seconds and thats it. i will adjust that as the plants get bigger.
if the MG soil your using has built in nutes, im not sure what and when your add other nutes. my soil isnt the MG violet mix as stated, i never got to home depot and i got in a hurry and just took some dark black soil with perlite mixed in it from an old 5 gallon pot my sister had out front, so there were no nutes in it and i also added some cheap 99 cent top soil from walgreens.
i just topped them so i will wait a couple more days before i change the lights and nutes. i hope to have my worm castings and bat gauno on monday. im gonna use a mix of both for the flowering stage and use an 1/8 cup of each to a gallon of water. i think im gonna water with the dripper and use a spray bottle also to spray the nix right on the plants along with the bloom nute mix. whether all this is right or wrong, its working for me and this is my best grow yet, so far, and im having fun doing it.
3-8/2 pm, the beans are looking great at 15 days and 11 days. heres some pics. you can see new growth around where i topped them, funny tho, new bean is showing better growth than old bean. i think i will wait a couple more days before putting then into flowering mode.
today has been 1 month since the hip injury and im starting to "walk" with the crutches, not just swing on them. i am very happy with my progression so far after not goin to a doctor or the hospital or having any type of medication except smoking weed and some excedrin.
3-9/2 pm, the beans have new shoots from where they were topped. new bean has 2 new shoots that should be 2 main colas, old bean on the other hand is only showing 1 new shoot so far??? i will give them a couple more days before putting then into flowering mode. i also will only use rain water for the next couple days till going into flowering mode.
3-12/3 pm, i switched the lights to 12/12 last night and started the flowering nutes. i was able to get in a weeks worth of worm castings (1-0-0) and have also topped the soil with some. the flowering nutes are mixed at 1/4 strength with a full tablespoon of bat guano (0-7-0). old bean is 19 days old and new bean is 15. the plants used just about 2 gallons of water to this point watering twice a day, everyday.
3-15/3 pm, the beans are 22 days and 18 days old today. new bean has caught old bean in growth both plants look great and are full and bushy. now i'll wait to see signs of sex and hope for the best. either way, i will finish the grow to the end. old bean is gonna have 3 main colas and new bean will have 4. only 1 shoot came out where i cut it.
3-23/9 pm, today is 30 days for old bean and 26 days for new bean. old bean turned out to be male as it has seed sacs all over, i will still keep growing it tho as it has bud sites all over it too. new bean hasnt showed any buds yet, but plenty of bud sites are starting. the plants are drinking about a gallon of juice every 4 or 5 days now, i have upped the nutes to 3/4 strength now. they are in the 11th day of flowering.
3-25/2 pm, kill it? ive spent a month taking care of this thing, no way, im growing it till the end, LoL. no really, its all i have right now and i didnt really expect 2 females out of bag seed, so im gonna let it grow and then clean out the box best i can. as you can see, old bean is popping out buds and seeds eveywhere, but new bean hasnt done anything yet, no buds, no sign of sex, nothing, just grows and looks pretty, LoL.heres some pics, today is 32 days for old bean and 28 for new bean, tomorrow will be 14 days of flowering. the last 2 are the shoots where i had topped them, old bean with 3 and new bean with 4.
6 pm, well, i fucked things up. turns out new bean is a female, so i took old bean out and tried to tie down the branches on new bean and broke it off!! i took the "cutting" and dipped it root shit and stuck it in a cup of dirt??? this sucks, dam i hate to kill off old bean just to keep 1 female, should have just left them alone, oh well.
7:30 pm, WELL I CHOPPED OLD BEAN, AND THREW IN THE CUTTING OFF NEW BEAN. I HOPE NEW BEAN RECOVERS AND IS OK. MY SISTER, WHO DOESNT SMOKE, IS MAKING BROWNIES RIGHT NOW WITH ALL THE LEAVES, LoL.SHE LIKES TO COOK. WILL TEST THOSE OUT IN A BIT. IM BUMMED.
3-26/7 pm, today is 29 days for new bean and she seems to be doing well after yesterdays screw up. me and my sister both ate the brownies made from old bean last night and it was funny, my sister said she hasnt slept so well in a long time, LoL. i also kept all the tiny little buds that were on old bean, there drying right now. dont know if they will do anything, but we'll see.
3-28/4 pm, new bean is 31 days old today and doing great. there are preflowers everywhere and i cant wait to start seeing some buds on her. i tied down the other main branch just a little to try an even out the height to the light.
4-4/7 pm, i had 2 plants, but 1 turn out to be a male (old bean), so i chopped it and my sister made brownies with it, LoL. the other (new bean) turned out to be a female and she's doin great at day 38. she has plenty of bud sites forming on 3 main branches. just the 1 plant fills the whole box with lst on the 1 main branch.
4-7/5 pm, its day 41 and about 3 1/2 weeks into flowering. temps are running a little high, about 84/88 during the day and the humidity is at 41 to 45%, which is great. new bean has bud sites all over her and is looking very good. i am watering her twice a day and go through a gallon of nute juice in about 4 to 5 days. nutes are just under full strength and a full scoop of bat guano.
4-23/1 pm, its day 57 and 6 weeks of flowering. nb has come along real nice, i wish i would have gotten some clones, thinking about starting some new seeds and hope to get another female. there are plenty of nice buds forming now, i will have to start watching closer to see when she will be ready for harvest. she drinks about a gallon every 4 days of water and nutes. for flowering, i have been mixing 1/2 scoop of worm castings (N), 1 scoop of bat guano (P), almost a full scoop of jacks and the GH bloom. this has worked good so far watering twice a day. the leaves around the buds are full of crystals and very sticky to the touch. the buds have white hairs all over them, they look so good. i cut a smaller bud off the bottom and dried it out under one of the exhaust vents on the box. i cut it up and smoked it in a wooden pipe and it really didnt have much taste to it, but it gave me a stoney high for about an hour or so, it was pretty good. today, i also took her out of the box and vacuumed all the fans, the floor, and the bulbs to get rid of all the dust. the temps are running at 82 during the day with the ac on and 79 at night with the lights off.
4-28/9 pm, ok, its day 62 and i gave my girl a haircut. i know your not suppose to cut the fan leaves off, but i want more light to get to lower part of the plant to help make the smaller buds bigger. i mean what can it hurt? its not that far from harvest and it should help the buds, now we'll just wait and see, if it dont work, i wont do it again. also, i fucked up watering her tonight, while messing with lights, i let the water run a little to long and almost flooded the box and filled the catch pan up all the way, caught it just in time. so i wont water for a couple days now as im sure it got enough for a few days. the buds are filling out real nicely, but the plant has stopped growing in height. I havent had to raise the lights in a while. the last week i think i will just water her with plain rain water to do my flush.
5-3/7 pm, new bean is 67 days today, but she is looking ill??? will have to look up what these leaves are trying to tell me. its 7 1/2 weeks of flowering, should be close. i might have hurt her with the over watering/nutes maybe.
5-4/6 pm, i did screw up the other day and dumped about a half gallon in her. i have a tester, my ph is 6.5 in the soil, so i think that is fine. temp doesnt go over 84, so thats ok too. its day 68 and day 53 of 12/12 flowering and things are going ok, heres a couple pics. i too just cut a small bud off and its drying out right now, will give a smoke report later. im going to the u-haul store tomorrow and get my veg box, its only $3 for a heavy duty box that is 18" x 18" x 24" (4.5 cu/ft). should be the perfect size just to start the plants in and/or cloning. i'll have 2-23 watt bulbs and 2-80mm fans for exhaust and a passive intake.
5-5/5 pm, so i went to the u-haul store today and picked up another ghetto box to use as a veg/clone box, cost, $4. a Y adapter and a socket plug and a couple blubs. 2-80mm computer fans for exhaust and a passive intake, oh and a 99 cent extension cord and there you have it. total cost about $14, not bad. heres some pics. i am also making up another gravity fed water jug for this box too. Box dimensions are: 24" x 18" x 24" (6.0 cu/ft). new bean is 69 days old and at 54 days of 12/12 flowering, she'll be ready in about a week and a half. buds are fat and fluffy, but feel pretty dense. i want to start a couple more seeds to get a head start on the next grow. probably will use bag seeds again and try to get another female.
5-6/6 pm, day 70 and tomorrow will be 8 weeks of flowering. the plant seems like the leaves are drying out and real crispy like there burnt, temp is 84 at its highest and the lights are far enough away. i dont think its the lights cause its doing it all over the whole plant. i looked at the trichs and they seem to be still clear to cloudy or milky, so im getting close to cutting all the top colas off. not sure what went wrong here towards the end, but something isnt right. the soil is still real wet from my watering screw up and thats when the problem started. over water/nutes maybe. we'll see. i just was reading something about cutting off fan leaves, that might be where i screwed up, i dont think i'll do that again. heres the link to the thread.
7 pm, well i cut one of the middle size buds off and its drying out in the veg box with just the 2 small exhaust fans running to draw passive air acrossed it. i'll give it a couple days and try it out.
5-7/12 noon, the bud is still in the veg box drying, will check on it later this afternoon. today i have started my flushing, i changed my water jug to plain rain water now for this last week of flowering, new bean is 71 days old and today is 8 weeks of 12/12. i am planning to cut the main buds down on or before next friday, will still watch the trichs for color, im looking for cloudy to light amber and i think they will be good, will give report on test bud smoking later tonight.
8:30 pm, so i just loaded a chunk of bud into my little 4" bong and did 3 hits im happy to say that the bud is fire!!! i am thrilled shitless at how good this stuff is. im just kicked back layin on the bed watchin the race, its like a trippy deep stone, deff not an uppity high, kinda of numbing, im fucking stoned, LoL. this is so awesome, i did it!!!
5-8/6 pm, so i cut another mid sized bud off and its drying now for smoking in a couple days. this shit is pretty good, it came from some good mids. the high is almost couchlock i guess cause i just did hits and i just wanna kick back and chill out. the taste is, well there is none. its pretty smooth, but just no taste, which is fine with me. as long as it gets you stoned, and it does.
5-12/5 pm, i got the scale from ebay today, nice piece for $9. i cut a 3rd bud off today and weigh it, 6.8 g's wet. so the other 2 were a bit smaller, im guessing, 5 g's and 6 g's wet by the size of them, so not sure how much dry. i plan on cutting the 5 big tops off on friday and let the rest go a couple more days where i can lower the lights for them. new bean is 76 days old and its been flowering 61 days. friday will be 9 weeks of 12/12 flowering. i think im gonna unplug the lights thursday night so they dont come on friday morning and give them 24 hours of darkness right before cutting friday night. so i'll be busy cutting and trimming for a while. i will weigh it all wet before i start to dry it. also, i have 4 seeds picked out for the next grow, hoping i can start all 4 and weed out the males and i'll just keep growing any females i get. a 2 plant grow would be nice with just topping and no LST this time.
5-13/5 pm, today is day 77 for new bean, the lights are off and i will cut the 5 main tops tomorrow around 8 pm, thats 24 hours of darkness, suppose to bring out more resin right before harvest. i will then turn the lights back on for a couple more days and lower it for the leftover smaller popcorn buds and get them on monday. i opened the box this morning and the pie pan was full to the top with water. i didnt even use that much flush water yesterday when i watered???? dont know whats up with that. i have the veg box all setup now for drying the buds, im gonna wait till sunday and germ the new seeds then. its gonna be enough taking the girl down and dealing with trimming and drying right now. more tomorrow. oh, and the bud i cut yesterday that weigh 6.8 was dry this morning at 3.8, not bad, and dam its good!!
5-14/3:30 pm, well, upon closer inspection, i've decided to go another week. the trichs are just milky, so i think its best i go a little longer. i've checked out radio shack for their scope. they have it in stock right down the road from me. heres a pic and its only $12.50. its funny to read all the reveiws that talk about how well it works for checking trichs, well, back to the setup, i have to hook everything back up now.
5 pm, i got everything all hooked back up. the flowering box is back to 12/12. today is day 78 and 63 days of flowering. i tied the 5 main branches back down, kinda crazy tho, there all twisted around the box instead of just straight down, looks real any ways, LoL. i guess will still just use plain rain water and keep flushing, so next friday when i cut, that will be 2 weeks total.
i also got the veg box all setup and ready along with another gravity fed water system. i can use it for drying the buds or for starting my new grow, so im still not sure when im gonna start my new seeds.
5-18/2 pm, i cut 2 smaller buds, they weighed in at 0.6 grams dry, that brings the total of cut dried buds to right about 11 grams so far. smoke is smooth with an ok taste and the high is good, a very lazy stone, my body sinks down into the chair and eyes are very heavy. today is day 82 and day 67 of 12/12 flowering, i was hoping it would be ready to cut this friday, but i still may need to let her go just a little more time than that. this friday will be 10 weeks of flowering. im still giving her plain rain water for now until the end. i wont give her any water the last day and i will go with the 24 hour dark period before i harvest the 5 main tops. theres not really that many smaller buds left, so i think i will just cut the whole plant down and be done with it. i didnt germ the new seeds yet, not sure when i wanna start my next grow.
5-21/5 pm, day 85 and its been 10 weeks* in 12/12 flowering mode. the 5 main buds look kinda fat and dense, but the trichs are still just milky or cloudy. i hope at some point they start to turn amber, im still gonna cut when there 50/50. i cut the 4th small bud off for testing, it weighed 3.0 g's. this one came off the bottom of the biggest bud. and the last pic is of some new shoots coming in, wonder if i can clone one of them?
*this is wrong, the timeline is corrected on 5-25
5-22/6 pm, test bud 4 got smoked last night, deff gettin better, so i didnt get a dry weight on it. its day 86 and i cut test bud 5 off eariler today and it weighed 3.0. it was also off the lower part off the biggest main cola. im not gonna try an clone the new shoot, just a thought. i hope this shits ready to cut next week, im putting the new seeds in the germ dome right now, that way they should be ready to put in the soil by monday night or tuesday. when they sprout, they will go in the veg box till i cut new bean down. then i will put buds to dry into the veg box and move the new plants to the main box. when i do this, i will start another thread, but i will post a final on new bean on this thread.
5-23/3 pm, new bean is still looking good on day 87, im starting to see more amber trichs, but just a few, test bud 5 is pretty good, smokes good, tastes ok, real stoney. this is gonna be the 3rd week with just plain rain water for flushing. i maybe should have gone 1 more week withs nutes.
5-25/3 pm, new bean is 89 days old now. still watching trichs, a few more are turning amber, shouldnt be long now. test bud 6 is still drying, should be ready for tonight. both boxes are up and running, i'll be glad when nb is done, i dont dig trying to take care of this much. 1 plant almost ready to harvest, 2 new seeds getting ready to pop out of the ground, still 2 seeds germing, a bud drying, and writing stuff in 2 journals. it rained hard today and i filled up my jugs with 9 gallons of rain water. i gave nb 1 more doze of bat guano and jacks bloom, will go back to plain water tomorrow. test bud 6 weighed in at 1.7 g's.
9 pm, i was just reading brandon837's post and it got me thinking. im not at 10 1/2 weeks of flowering, im at 10 1/2 weeks of 12/12. i went back and looked at pics to see when i saw the first flowers and that was at day 36 of the grow, so that means im only at day 55, not 75 of flowering and this friday will only be 8 1/2 weeks of flowering, not 11. does this make sense? i guess the main thing will be to watch the trichs, i will cut regardless of time when they are 50/50. Dam!!
5-26/4 pm, day 90 for new bean, im gonna mix up another batch of nutes to give her 1 more gallon and then go back to plain water after that. took another bud (#7) off today for a buddy, it was 3,1 wet so thats like 1.3 dry, so that will make about 16 grams dry ive got off her so far. i also picked up some jars at the thrift store today for curing, 1 big jar and 5 smaller 1's, total: $3.50, not bad i guess.
5 pm, i took yet another test bud # 8, it weighed 1.2 wet so that makes a wet total 33.7 g's and dry right around 16.7 g's which really isnt to bad with the 5 colas still on there.
5-27/1 pm, well this really blows!! test bud 8 was dry this morning and i weighed it and guess what, it doesnt fucking weigh anything?!?!? i pushed down on it and the scale jumped around and it still didnt weigh anything, so i guess it really doesnt exist!!
10 pm, well its day 91 and from my notes, its been 57 days of flowering. so i guess i have another week or so to go. test bud #9, 1.7 g's wet.
5-29/6 pm, day 93 for new bean and shes still kickin, i mixed up 1 more jug of juice and then will go with plain rain water till i cut her down. test bud 9 dried and im smokin it so i dont know what it weighed, but im guessing .5 or .6 g's, so the total dry ive taken is a little over 17 grams.
5-30/4 pm, new bean is 94 days today, looking happy in her retirement home. 1/2 a gallon of juice left to give her, then start flushing again. buds are looking good, cant wait to cut those 5 main colas. thanks to chainseeker, i did a little test and ended up taking out the big intake fan, it lowered the temp 4 degrees to 84.
5-31/3 pm, today is day 95 and day 62 of flowering. test bud # 10, 1.7 wet.
6-1/7 pm, today is day 96 and new bean is still thinkin about being done, but not yet. oh, and test bud 10 weighed .7 g's so that brings the total to right about 18 grams of dry bud so far and theres still plenty of small buds and the 5 main colas on the "vortex"
6-3/8 pm, day 98 for new bean/the vortex and yesterday was 9 weeks of flowering. and i took yet another test bud, #11, wet weight was 1.0 g's. its like starting a second phase, kinda weird, but my boxes arent sealed up from outside light the either. i think that might have something to do with it. the trichs are all real milky with still only a few ambers, thats why im cutting it next wednesday no matter what, the smoke is clearly good enough for me so chop chop.
6-4/7 pm, today is day 99, and day 66 of flowering, so that makes it about 9 1/2 weeks. i think im gonna cut this on e big cola off tonight and trim it up and start drying it. i will post wet weight in a little bit when im done. its weird, theres a lotta new growth going on all over her. so i got a lot of work tonight to trim this bud up and top the 3 new plants tonight when there ready a bit later,
7:30 pm, i cut the 1st bud off, wet weight, 35.5 grams.its hanging in a dark spot right now drying.
6-5/5 pm, 100 days for new bean and day 67 of flowering which ends up being 9 weeks and 4 days. i just went over new bean real good with the scope and heres what im gonna do. i gonna cut the other 4 main colas off tonight here in a little bit, i think shes done. i can see all the trichs are just starting to go past cloudy and have a slight brown/amber hus to them so i think its time. when im done cutting and trimming those, i will try to get the rest of the little buds that are left so i can take out of the veg box and use it for the drying box. the bulbs will go into the flower box for the new plants, which only have 4 bulbs in the now. more later after i cut and trim these buds.
6:30 pm, so i cut the other 4 big buds and here they are this brings me up to 103.8 (5 main buds) + 31.9 (all other buds ive taken) = 135.7 total wet weight ive cut off now. all 5 are now hanging on a stick in the closet, i will move them into the veg box went i get done cutting.
6-6/1 pm, well new bean has come to her end, 101 days total time from the first day she popped out of the soil to today, the end of harvest. just for the hell of it, im gonna try to keep that little new shoot/bud growing. im using the schultz take root and jeffy peat pellet and putting her in a cake dome to see if i can keep her a little while longer. thank you new bean, you will be missed. i got just over 140 grams wet from her. its all in the veg box drying and then will go in the jars to cure. so add to the total of 135.8 all the other little buds i cut today which im guessing to be about 25 more grams. so the grand total wet is right at 160 grams.
6-8/3 pm, so the total weight for new bean dry is...........52.7 grams!!!!!! not bad for my first sucessful grow with 1 plant. thats all the "test" buds ive smoked, 18.4, all the buds in the pics, 30.8, and the 3.5 g's i have in a bag that im smoking right now.
so there you have it, start to finish of old bean, the male and new bean, the female. its been fun and thanks to everyone for coming along for the ride. new bean will be updated in the new journal with the new plants as long as she makes it, come along for that grow too if you want, heres the link.
