tricks are good man, flat out on this easy ryder, gone past the 30 day cure so its fairly nice smoke,smells kind of citrusey in the jar but when you burn it same smell as AK 47.be lazy as fuck after it tho.wonder how much of a diferance wil be in it after curing for 90 days.
stalk on the big bud has been weak as fuck for the last couple of days, had to prop the bitch,she was leaning over at 45 degrees this morning, think i had 2 much wind on her.leafs are getting big aswel, moved the 250 mh to 12" over the top aswel so im hoping she takes off now.put it on the nft tray on wednesday aswel.
does anyone know if its unusual to have 3 cotyledons and the first set of true leafs, there,s 3 of them aswel instead of 2 ? QUOTE=ae86 grower;7808334]hows tricks smokey.. i do get lost in that avatar of yours sometimes, the pack of rizzla look soooooo small hahahahaha like a keyring or something...[/QUOTE]

 

[ae86 grower]

its a weird one alright but theres always a weird one here and there smokey, i had a double yolker and 15 set of leaves last round..

anyone else have a freak before.. maul had a girl with "big lips" last week hahahahaha still gets me....

 

[silvermandy]

hi sliver, can i ask you why you picked a 150w hps over a 150w cfl?

im thinkin hps will give me bigger buds, could be wrong but im well pleased with my little setup on a tight budget.

 

[ae86 grower]

well i can`t say for sure about the hps, but for flower cfl just won`t cut it, i ran just about 600w of cfl last grow with two decent strains and was very very disapointed when the yeild came around, that and it took forever which is never an ideal thing, all the extra bother, electric, security bla bla....

its defo on hps this time round...

 

[ae86 grower]

absolutely brilliant for veg tho, really great growth which i think can be better controlled strech wise as there practicly an inch off the plant and the plant gets a nice healty green too.... in my opinion ...

 

[silvermandy]

Hi all. im gona post my grow journal here,seen as im irish....here we go.

Soil: Got some good topsoil with extra nutrients and some perlite init too.

Pots: 5lt

Food: Rain water for first two weeks then a full dose of bio bizz and rain water in between. i forgot to give them half dose of bio bizz but doesent look like any damage done.I have organic stuff ill use next week its just called bigger bud, so we will see how that goes.

Lights: 150W HPS + Sonlight HPS-TS 150W Heres a link to the place where i got it, i thought it was a bargain,heard some bad reviews about this place
but i had no problems,dhl delivery took 8 days witch is long but all n all was happy with the process.http://www.hydroponics.eu/lighting-c-24/easy-kit-s-40/-easy-kit-150w-hps--sonlight-hpsts-150w-8646.html

Cooling: the cheapest fans i could find in argos lol

Strains: 1x Royal Creamatic and 1x Royal Dwarf from www.Royalqueenseeds.com These guys are great.I love the little extras you get with your seeds,its a nice touch.Check them out they have some great strains and treat there customers good,i visited one of there places in the dam last month and they where really nice.

Royal Creamatic Data:

• Type Sativa: 10% Indica: 60% Ruderalis: 30%
• Yield 80-110 grams
• Harvest month 8-9 weeks after sprouting
• Height of the plant 70-100 cm
• Genetic background Cream Caramel x Ruderalis
• Cannabinoid content Extremely high
• Flowering time Autoflowering

This is the bigger of the two and it looks great at 19 days old, she showed its sex after 14 days (true story) and ive had no problems with her so far.strong smell from the beginning ..
I checked around had havent found anyone doing a journal on this strain could be wrong thow but it will be interesting to see how it goes.
Told the guys at royalqueenseeds that i was thinking of doing an online journal and they have sent me some of there posters to put up in background when taking pictures,cool or whaaaah.

Royal dwarf Data:

• Yield 60 grams
• Harvest month 8-9 weeks after sprouting
• Height of the plant 40-60 cm
• Genetic background Skunk x Ruderalis
• Effect Physical stoned
• Cannabinoid content Medium
• Flowering time Autoflowering
• Type Sativa: 60% Indica: 10% Ruderalis: 30
• Totally messed this one up.i germed it for to long and it dried up .so i put it in soil and the next day the root had curled up and i could see it just coming out of the soil,so i took it out and put it back in the correct position and covered it up,but i forgot to water it and when it sprouted up the shell or what ever its called was all dried up and stuck on,so i picked it off and was left with only one tiny leaf.i was gona chuck it but its not gona do any harm sitting there unless it turns male or hermi,,i tied it down just coz i wanna see how it grows,dont really care how it turns out ill just buzz with it as long as it stays a female. im just gona put all my effort int my creamantic.

Hope you all like what ive done so far,
Let me know what you think,
Pictures of plants 19 days old
Thanks.....

[Jingle]

Looks good mandy, is your grow room one of those little green houses from homebase, Ive thought about this myself. One thing i would say is that looks like foil, If it is take it down. You will thank me for it, and if its mylar i apolagise. Also you bang on about the hps, much better yield and your wiring is bang on, i believe the ballasts are earthed.

Wlcome to the club Mandy, Nice to have a couple of girls around.

 

[billy2011]

Hi Jingle how r u.
I got it from argos 2 weeks ago on sale for 14.99, was in there yesterday and its back up to 30 but well worth it..originaly its smaller but i swapped the cross bars that would hold the shelf for the smaller uprights to make it taller,pity because the shelf is mesh and would make a great scrog..i have some of it lined with mylar but ran out and put foil over the rest..as for the ballast i think i did okay for a chick lol
Thanks for having a look.
