Professor Marijuana's 45 Day Grow Q & A

[Kingrow1]

So now that we're all nice and friendly why don't you come hangout in GenMJgrow and be part of the post there, real positive and lots of good stuff going on

Im my own person and hang out where i want, this thread is good enough for me, with or without you it will probably keep going for some reason!lol!

Plus GenMJgrow is not my kinda forum, i only post in the noob an problem forums. Peace

See ya im over there.

Hey prof, this plant finished at about 5 and a half weeks, shes just getting 48 hours dark before harvest. Think basically 6 weeks in total from start of flower to harvest.

Now not to say that she wont still grow more or put a bit more weight on but visually this plant is ready for the chop.

Now skinny ass buds you might say but this is a very resionous plant, some fans covered as well and calyxs been swelling from the word go and very good size.

Genetics wise its originally dutch passion white widow which i inbreed, selfed and bred again with the strongest plants. For no reason except genetics this one is an early finisher, the ones either side of her got fantastic buds on and much fatter growth but her genetics determined a very early finish time and ultra fat calyxs and trich production for a soil grow



As you can see quite a healthy plant for harvest time. If i kept her genetics and crossed and selected early finishers i might improve on bud size but in my small grow this would be very hit and miss and take a very long time to which im gona pass especially considering the low bud weight.

For some this would be impossible but just once i got a 6 week strain, shame about the crap buds but it smells the best and know this gona be some 7 grams of pure dank weed.

Tis a beautifull plant that lacked not light, ferts or temps, id have preferred a less resinous strong ounze of weed but none the less real fun to grow. Peace

Disagree, early. Strain please, 60-40 sativa if I were to guess. 6 weeks are few and far between. this is worth repeating. cannabis produces 80% of it's trichomesin the last two weeks of it's growth cycle. pick two weeks early it is 80% weaker. I wouldn't smoke it, buble hash material or tincure at best. You spent what 6 weeks growing, when did you flower? 7 grams? no disrespct fairly average, I would never show a souls. See my avatar? Want a qp? let me break a bud in half, no bull. We have had our issues for sure. You want me to show you how to grow? FREE Take your sun leafs on the buds and make hash or I can show you how to make a keif box, now you got something. I know you think I'm full of crap but those would go in my circular file. Those are 10 week strains, you been had. Still friends?

The last pic says it all, never get 7 g's from it trichomes not even close

 

[Professor Marijuana]

hey prof i have a question for you

I have 8 fat ladies under a 600w in a 4x4 tent. they are in 3gal pots. I have to keep my light further(around 18'' some more) from the plants in order to light them all. They dont even take up the whole tent, the reflector just doesnt seem to spread it enough (its a radiant).

I have temps pretty much under control mostly in the high 70's max temp was 84 on a hot day. I can bring the AC hood within inches of the plants with no heat issues but can't because the outer plants wont get enough light.

Would a 1000w solve my lighting issues? would the increase in yield be worth it the extra $350+ it would cost?

I can put up some pics if you need a better idea what im lookin at

Thanks
ganj

I hate tents, but it is what it is. Light 101, 600w 18" away. Test, how many watts on your plants? Answer 150W. How many watts is the bulb on your front pourch? 100? Put your plants on the pourch and ad a second light. (joke) Your 8 fat lady's will be lucky to yield 1/4 oz total. Average grower gets 3. Free, top quality info from the prof, kill half your girls, buy a second 600 watt light. Are te vented? Ballast inside tent or out? C02? Dirt or hydro? My 1000 w lights are 3 to 4 inches above and moved each day. Eac foot away you lose half it's power. 1000 w light at 18 inches is a 250w. Get the best hood you can. don't crowd the girls. By a max fan, biggest you can. Add a booster fan. Supplement C02 at 1400 ppm. Put circulating fan on floor and blow C02 off the floor, heavier the air. Go Hydro. Fuck the bullshit extra crap in the bottles. Lean toward indica's at least 60-40. Seal hoods with insulatng tape and use hose thts the same. all floors and walls white. Clean every two weeks with 10% bleach mix. flush every two weeks. See my budsin avatar? same size room as yours. Hydrofarm makes a hood with 600wmh plus400w hps in on hood. I had two. C02 at 1400 will allow temps to 105.. You now know more then 80% of growers. 5 gal containerts, don't evr watert. Questions? Your welcome Electronic ballast, hood, light under 800 or 2 oz's increase. Buds in avatar dried to 1lb. worth it? don't worry about heat under 90. buy a maxum xxxl hood 140 worth every penny. 8 or 10 inch vent. Radient light? HID ONLY i PULLED 8 LBS OUT OF THAT CLOSET, 3' TALL PLANTS. sHOULD SEE THE COLAS

That plant was the strongest 7grams i had in a long time, seriously good weed, just finished very early and i would have let her go the distance but she was totally ready. She come from inbred seeds and selfed plants. Normally of 9plants with 500watts cfls i yeild an ounce a plant, i do ok for myself plus going to a air-cooled hood and hps soon as bored of the cfls.

The only thing im working through is getting the nutrients right for the whole grow and i reckon im almost there, things like phosphorous abuse and the different types of nitrogen have been my main focus. Every week i germinate a seed and every week i harvest an ounce is what my grows about and in less than a meter squared under flouros and cfls. I dont need help growing just like to discuss the different aspects of weed, i am not really likeing the auto flowers though, decided against anymore of these plus i can get my normal strains to flower befor these do and a lot shorter. Peace

Put your plants on the pourch and ad a second light. (joke) Your 8 fat lady's will be lucky to yield 1/4 oz total. Average grower gets 3.

My tent is 75cmx75cm floor space with 9 plants. Yeild 9 ounzes. 2 x 250watt envirolites, flowering height 30/40cm.

Free, top quality info from the prof, kill half your girls, buy a second 600 watt light. Are te vented? Ballast inside tent or out? C02? Dirt or hydro? My 1000 w lights are 3 to 4 inches above and moved each day. Eac foot away you lose half it's power. 1000 w light at 18 inches is a 250w. Get the best hood you can. don't crowd the girls. By a max fan, biggest you can. Add a booster fan. Supplement C02 at 1400 ppm. Put circulating fan on floor and blow C02 off the floor, heavier the air.

I am gona get a 400watt Hps (600watt later stage) but im gona keep mine 12inches away in an air cooled hood so i cover my 75x75cm space, id rather have 9 plants than less with the hood closer. My fan is a 6inch high powered ruck so pretty max but i run at just over half speed with a stepped voltage speed controller. Co2 is somthing i never want to use really and a simple clip fan provides plenty of circulation in the grow.

Go Hydro. Fuck the bullshit extra crap in the bottles. Lean toward indica's at least 60-40. Seal hoods with insulatng tape and use hose thts the same. all floors and walls white. Clean every two weeks with 10% bleach mix. flush every two weeks.

Although hydro is a little quicker for yeilds i seen plenty of damn good soil grows rival them. Personally i think a lot more are soil growing these days than hydro and add to that all the non illegal indoor plant growers and soil is certainly the top indoor amatures choice of medium, in my country definatly.

My grow and how i maximise my grow are different due to my situation, i see many more small indoor soil grows than big scale hydros these days. Some dont need to push yeilds so much as just normal grows yeild enough if not more than needed by most.

Where i maximised my grow was lowering the lights to the point that spread equaled penetration, when both were sweet thats where it stayed, having a continuous grow meant more space in the flowering room, cfls meant low heat and short plants, id honestly run the single cola technique but height restricts me and had i run a single cola id be looking to double the plant total to 18. Final flowering pot is 7inch pot. Half a gram a watt for cfls is a good yeild.

Some just dont want to maximise their grows to such a level, its great you can run your light inches from your plants but i want to light a certain area as well, the magnum xxxl shade is bigger than my whole tent. My lights will always be the distance that gives me the light spread i want as oppose to how many lumens i could get to plants, running two hps lights is not an option. I would say most small indoor growers i know already achieve a high level of maximization and the rest is not suited to our situations.

Yep Co2 is great for a little extra but you see there are those who actually dont want to use it or see the benifits from the yeilds plus i refer to the reason we have such low nutritious fruit and veg in the supermarkets these days!! Some commercial grower decided to maximise his grow again! My philosiphies about growing are different to yours and i loose nothing whatsoever yeild wise, some growers are aiming small and Co2 etc etc are not our goals. Peace

 

[303]

Prof, what are your thoughts on co2 enrichment during flower, is it true it decreases potency? If so do you suggest cutting it out 2 weeks before harvest? At what stage does it become no longer relevant to run co2? I've heard once the stretch is over to cut it, and also seen guys run it to the end. Thanks.

 

[DrFever]

Hey prof what do you think my yields might be 8000 watts , 1300 PPM of Co2 daily very dialed in room lights are 12" from tops being anything closer isnt going to give me anymore lumens ?? lights off temps reach 62 degrees lights on 76 with co2 on at 90 degree co2 stops and fans kicks on
in organic soil bottom feeding 1300 ppm plants are 58 " tall only vegged for 21 days from a 3 " clone buds are close have approx 8 tops on each plant approx 12" of tight buds joining up same goes for side buds never topped
different version of cloneing has bin applied )

 

[a mongo frog]

@ Dr.Fever...
do u ever have probloms controling rh in the night cycle running co2? are u buring propane or bottle or natural gas? do your leaves start to claw right at first when plants are introduced to co2?

 

[a mongo frog]

i didnt mean running co2 in night. i meant just rh probloms in night cycle at all.

 

[DrFever]

only time i have issues is 2 days after feeding as i am in soilbut with my programmer it combats it
and i use the bottle heres the programmer i use kick ass

How are you bottom feeding in soil, i have used this method before and it didnt work very well?? Peace

Deep water probe is about $10, double bucket works well also

As you can see quite a healthy plant for harvest time. If i kept her genetics and crossed and selected early finishers i might improve on bud size but in my small grow this would be very hit and miss and take a very long time to which im gona pass especially considering the low bud weight.

If you're growing under floro's and yielding an ounce per, you definately need help growing. But if that is good for you then more power to you.

 

[PROF XAVIER]

Hey fellow professor, been busy with work and whatnot...have time for thoughts on water and conversation? Sorry if I missed a few posts!

 

[Kingrow1]

in organic soil bottom feeding

My question was really can nutrients wick up against gravity in soil, was under the impression that they needed to be added from the top to soak down as they dont wick well in soil.

Deep water probe is about $10, double bucket works well also

??

What makes you think they're ready to harvest?

Experience or is that not acceptable around you!

If you're growing under floro's and yielding an ounce per, you definately need help growing. But if that is good for you then more power to you.

Half a gram a watt from cfls seems good to most growers, given the conversion factors we can take into consideration that Hps is twice as strong as my cfls and i use no coolshades/tubes nor Co2 neither anything else except soil and nutes! but then again i forgot you can yeild a pound of a 18watt cfl!

First you get d!ckish because you dont like people questioning your yeilds then you dispute mine and my experience. I reckon this is the last post i will make on either of your two threads and instead will focus my attention elsewhere, there comes a time when you got to trim the fat from the organisation unfortunatly.

Personally i dont think it was your claims people hated on you about but more your attitude. Good luck any way as you seem so desperate to be a part of rollitup (for some unknown reason!) I wasnt after advice just discussing certain subjects but i get nothing here and hating isnt my style unfortunatly, the others can do that for me round here

What happened to the professors thread in the general marijuana growing?
