12/12 cfl First Grow ever!

[Warped1]

Tik you can scuff those seeds a little with an emory board, they might be tough skinned

 

[Tiktok]

Yeah I'm starting to think the seeds too. I got 10 skunk 44's from seedsman and they all germ'd great I messed those up myself. Hey I don't mind the posts guys, but we could start new journal if you want or just keep posting here. I like hearing about your grows and please add pics.

 

[Warped1]

You've seen my current pics.. I'll have more on Sunday probably. Man I'm not used to seeing the names of some of these strains lol, I usually hang out at another forum..or 2 lol. Is that Skunk 44 a Top 44 x Skunk#1?

 

[Tiktok]

Warped yes it is a top44xskunk#1 suppose to be done flowering after 44 days. I think that is like tomorrow. Yeah I read about the sand paper thing I think that just might help. They will crack eventually it just takes awhile.

 

[Warped1]

Damn you can't beat 44 days, I might have to give that a go.. I'll see what you think first

 

[Tiktok]

Well today is day 44 and I think I have at least two weeks left. It says under ideal conditions it can be ready in 44 days. Those damn disclaimers. Lol! I read someone's top 44 journal and they finished theirs in 54 days. I might push mine to 58 or 60 days. I want to give another full feed before I start flushing. What do you think. I'll post some pics later today or tomorrow.

 

[Warped1]

I think you're probably right to let them go a little longer. I think the finish times breeders give are more or less a ballpark amount of time, and like you said..under ideal conditions. How are your trichs looking? I need to peek at mine today, I might feed another week myself depending on how things look

 

[jaag102882]

pics? ill be posting some here in a few...

 

[Warped1]

Woo hoo I'll get a couple on Sunday

 

[jaag102882]

the lady and her many bud sites... thinkin 3 maybe 2 weeks... but i think id rather do 3 maybe 4... eh ill let her decide...

 

[Warped1]

You're ahead of me by a week I'd guess. It's going to be close, but I bet you harvest a few days before I do. Nice pics jaag

 

[Tiktok]

Nice buds Jaag. You are killing that Aero. Was it hard to do as a first grow? I can't believe how many people on here are first growers and are killing these grows. By killing I mean doing great. Lol.

I too am a new grower. For the most part I'd say it was pretty easy. I've been through a bunch of problems and read forums when I had questions. Problems include, cloning(aero cloner), hermi trait with Durban poison(Quarantined them, cut off bananas when I see them, don't clone any more of them), Powder mold on my trainwreck(skim milk and water sprayed on foliage). I figured out which strain I liked best, so next is production. To see how fast I could run a plant through, I did a party cup plant. This plant was cut from mother plant to harvest in 57 days. 7 in cloner, 3 in veg., 47 flowering. The strain is Afghani Bullrider and has a 45 day flowering time. This is j+..maybe these hempy buckets Im hearing about. Good luck with your grow. Im giving rep+ for starting a great hobby.

 

[Warped1]

Howdy aftershock, I'm actually thinking about doing a 12/12 from seed hempy run next time, using beer cups. I might even throw in a clear container while I'm at it. We'll see if it really hurts anything. I have a bunch of old bagseeds I want to use.

 

[jaag102882]

aero was def a lot harder than i thought... biggest problem is that my res is a rubbermaid container... it has 8 holes for plants but there is now way i could grow 8 mature plants in that thing lol... plus i had some root rot issues w/ res temps... pain in my ass... so def going hempy buckets this time around... and thinking of using the aero system as a cloner/sprayer... and aftershock do you know the average yeild on the afghani bullrider strain?

 

[Warped1]

Well since this is turning out to be a combined grow thing.. here are my 2 girls at 6 weeks.

 

[Tiktok]

I have new pics I haven't been able to get to my computer today. I finally got one of me juicy fruit seeds cracked enough to put into soil. So I will see what I get out of that in a couple of days.

 

[Tiktok]

Thanks after shock for the pics those are some nice plants. Thanks for the rep too bud. Drop in any time.

So finally here are a few update shots of the girls. It is day 45 flowering for my big girl and day 38 for the little one. I also watered both today with full nutes and root thrive. I have a new seed started in soil today and it will be on 18/6 for a week, then 17/7 for a week, then 16/8 for a week, then 15/9 for a week etc, etc, etc. All the way down to 12/12. thats 6 weeks of veg. I hope the plant doesn't get to big for my little grow space.

 

[Tiktok]

12/12 is a nice little way to grow. I bet using the hempy will really work out great. I can't wait to try it myself. Nice experiment there Warped will be looking forward to the results.
