Update 02.15.11

Well was starting to get some nute burn on some leaves so dropped the ppm to 1000ish.

I am thinking that with this stinkbud I don't need the nute level specified by original post. I think 800-1000ppm should be max for me anyways, as with my 2nd grow I am using 500ppm in veg and I was using 1300ppm before but the plants that are in the 500ppm are looking better then ever! Weird so guess save some money on nutes.

The trichs on the SLH1 are still mostly clear, I am at 60days flower so I am guessing week or two more I hope. I will watch them closely over the next week. SLH2 is coming along great as well looks like this one will be a better producer then the first but the first has some huge main colas and so freaking dense.

Pics:



I have about 4 main colas on number 1 that are 12oz soda can sizes or maybe touch smaller but huge none the less.







Here is Number 2 coming along nicely:



Well update on SLH1 status to be harvest. SOON!!

Most definitely ask away... I am no expert but I will tell you I tried soil, DWC then the StinkBud. SB was the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way I found. My SLH1 should be done end of this week, then I will post update. SLH2 is about 23-30 days behind.

Definitely not the strain to do your first grow on as the yield looks ehh... and the time is blah! I hope I can just get some quality bud outta this and move on to faster higher yield plants! I got Critical+, AK47, Headband and Pineapple Express in vegging now!!! I am super stoked about them! Hear me now son, if you embark down this road you will end up like me: Buy shit weed, get sick of buying shit weed, start learn to grow, grow, smoke some properly grown bud, freak the @!*(&^ out, want to try every strain you can like beers or wine so you always in search of the brand you love... damn what have I done?!

lol DAMN WHAT HAVE I DONE!! i know that feeling and the overwelming desire to go look again even if you just left the girls. ive embarked on growing GDP as i really njoy the reaction i have with it. ill be harvesting some early and let some finish late for a good couch lock as i almost never sleep and the cl will help.
I want to follow your headband and ak47 also as they are on the next go roundlist.both are easy to come by clones in my area.
i got 1 outa 6 that is def a different pheno or strain as it is not short and close nodes its a wild girl with long node spacing and rampid growth. i think i will clone her and see how she turns out. ive named her olive oil lol. heres a pic of her when i just started veg and again a week or so later already having to be tied down.

Update 02.27.10

Well I had nice pics of Super Lemon Haze 1 harvest 4 days ago but my camera @!*&@ up and had to put new rom on it losing my pics.

I got 4 QUART jars packed but not stuffed of bud from her. It is amazing how much it looks like when you harvest then after it drys and shrinks how little you really have. I heard SLH is a mediocre yield, I screwed up on nutes 3/4 way through but she recovered, so there was some minor missteps but overall not bad for my first fully grown plant.

I could have let it go another 10-14 days but I needed the room for my Critical+ who was becoming a giant.

Anyways here are the bud pics :

One of Four packed jars:



Nugs:



Got to say these are the most sticky nugs I every had or bought, its amazing how weird quality grown bud is over street crap. Smoked a nug in the bong last night and I say its stronger then I ever had period, yet to get fully baked but so far great high with slight weirdy paranoia, laughter but down side is that its not as trippy as I thought, maybe little longer would brought that on. Smell is amazing nothing like I ever smelled in weed, lemony sweet smelling no hay or grass smell at all its almost too sweet.

Super Lemon Haze #2 will run till she needs, I have time for this one she is at 59 days right now so probably 2 more weeks. At least 30% amber where SLH1 was about 10-15%.

I had to prune more off this one then the last so probably estimating 3 more jars out of this one. Sorry no scale yet to measure, I don't sell or deal but think I want one for recording changes.







Will update soon again. Now I am excited about trying new strains and seeing what they are like too, I got the fever!!

My SLH2 should be ready in 7-10 days. Going to let them go the 70 days its at 61days now.

I picked up scale and weighed my dried nugs from SLH1 what I have left in jars is at 1.5oz. Not bad since I probably smoked a 1/4 and took another 1/4 more off early impatient. So I got at least 2oz off this first plant not bad for 400w and SLH strain.

Flushing today with clerex and gonna do clean res change tonight.

** Update 03.07.11 **

I took some branches off the last Super Lemon Haze a couple of days ago only two main branches remain. I really want these to go to the 70+ days to see what kind of bud this produces. The buds I have gotten so far have been great but I think I am still not to its full "high" potential so I am gonna let her run for another week on the two main branches. I smoked some last night and seems the longer the SLH1 is in jars the more potent it becomes, I almost got into a laughing seizure getting outta shower last night after vaping a bag or two, first time that shit happened with this strain.

I got 3 quart jars of buds now curing from number 2 from the lower branches mostly pop corns and smaller buds but still look frosty as hell. Probably another 2-3 jars from remaining branches I am thinking.

Here are pics of remaining buds (sorry crappy camera pics):

Wow it doesn't seem I started this journey back last October. I have learned a lot and have came a long way in knowing what to expect or do.

These super lemon haze were nice to grow just sooo long to finish. I think after I get done I will have like 12 Quart mason jars full of SLH about 11-12grams in each. I will have some shots of jars when I get the final product after curing in week or so on the last batch.

Today was harvest with all the trimming and hanging I didn't snap too many pics as hands were freaking coated with stickies.

Here is some pics though:

One of the main nugs.. damn cut it off.



Some hanging in the corner for today:



Another biggie hanging in corner:



Well this journal is almost over have one more final post with smoke and jar shot probably in week or so. If you guys want to ask anything or see something that can help me is surely appreciated.

Couple notes off top of my head:

1. Stinkbud Nutrient recipe is a tad hot, tone it down a bit top ppm was 800ppm at end starting out with 1700ppm which was insane.
2. Use Great White its expensive but worth it, my new grow roots are awesome looking.
3. Don't wait past 3 weeks to do a complete res change.

Ok this will be my last post in this thread, if you have questions I have a subscription to the thread so I will get it and reply. Well the grow didn't go perfect but I did get some killer smoke and I learned a lot.

The plants... well we started with Jilly Bean and Super Lemon Haze. The Jilly did germinate but I think what I know now I would have a successful germ. I was doing paper towel method but the shot glass in dark place for 24 hours with couple drops of H2O2 is the ticket. 100% since I started that, and dont take em out of water until tap root is out about 1/4". Anyways wish I would have had that one with the lemon haze now.

SLH plants are easy to grow pretty forgiving.. since I was pounding them with nutes at the beginning up near 1500-1600 range which is insane now I see. I am at top 800ppm in my current grows and I am sure these plants should have been that low but like troopers they powered through. First off these things are BIG and take a LONG time to finish no doubt do believe that. They don't produce a ton but not a little neither, but what they produce is pretty fine ass smoke. Smooth, crisp hints of lemon. The high is uppity and somewhat paranoid, haven't had the laughing fits cept one time and that was more of a freaky psycho laughing fit. Bong hits are a smooth and pretty potent. Vapor is where the taste is the best at around 410F its crisp and cool, tastes like lemon heads. I guess I was expecting a devastating smoke and not what I got, but it does get you loopy for sure. I was also hoping for a funny, psychotic trippy high but maybe I mistimed harvests or something. Not saying I am disappointed in the least, just saying I have high (no phun) expectations. The smell is amazing lemony, almost too sweet sometimes I want just nasty skunky smell and this is almost like sweet flowerish. Unfortunately its my only herb until I get some others done and I wouldn't recommend it as only strain as it does get over powering lemony sometimes for my tastes and want something different for a couple sessions. SLH broke my grow cherry and finally gave me confidence I can do it, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

I got 13 quart jars full and a bigger cannister filled with my personal select buds.







I know I did this I think earlier but things I would definitely want to have or do with a stinkbud grow like this.

1. Change reservoir completely 3 weeks max intervals with 24 hour clearex flush in between.
2. Buy a 5 gallon plastic paint mixer attachment for drill to mix nute solution. So much simplified and better mixing.
3. Use Aquashield, Great White and Silica Blast from the beginning.
4. Check the PH and PPM on daily basis to monitor feeding needs of plants.
5. Use superstoners nutrient recipe from beginning.

I have headband, pineapple express, AK47 and Critical+ going now.. check out my second journal.

I think I realized something too late but better late then never. I think I am over feeding/watering my plants I had it on 1 min on 5 mins off. I think that is too much.

I have it on 40secs now and off 8 mins. Just so roots don't dry out the plants seem to be liking it. Was getting some droop in the leaves looked to be under or over watering.. I suspect its over watering.

Clearex is great but try adding some H2O2 to the mix that really helps.. just for flushing and have you gotten a foliar feeding program integrated yet? That will definitely help your yields.
