[toolage]

Lmao that sounds amazing! Congrats! I'm going to attempt to make hash some how when i cut my girls out of the stems and leaves. Should be interesting...

yeah man I'm going to do some more when this harvest is ready! it's definently an intense high!

like the hash dude....enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks bro, I'll take a hit for you


Update coming in a few

 

[toolage]

Update Day 64 Flowering/103 Days from Veg

Nutes Added in Resevoir:
14 drops ph down

PH/PPM
5.4/1000

Temp/Humidity
72.9/30%
Max-91.3/54%
Min-63.2/20%

Stretch
Almost all of the white hairs are gone and have started to turn milky. I am cutting off 3 more small branches that have lossed most of their leaves and buds aren't getting any bigger. Nothing much more to add besides the smell is starting to creak out of the door, so I'm going to have to invest in some odor control.

Problems
The ph problem has been fixed and the plant is making a pretty speedy come back.

Thats what i like to see Looking juicy mate! If its only starting to creep out of the door perhaps you wont need anything major for odor control just a wall plug or something for the room the door goes into? Keep up the good work man shes looking great!

 

[Alto]

lookin' good T
nice job on the sheesh..
I gotta get one of those presses myself, looks like a trip to the arts and crafts store tonight for me...lol
Stretch is amazing the way she is turning out. So much for runts eh?
Have you smoked any of those buds you were using to try out your curing process yet?

Hey bro, thanks alot of the support! Yeah it's not going to creep much out the door, but for next grow I am definently going to need something stronger. I'm sure NL is going to stink way more then bagseed lol.

Yeah man that press thing works out great! I found that even tho the guy says let it get very hot but not too hot to touch, doesn't really work out as well. I just set mine on the range for 20 minutes till it was scolding hot and then i froze it.

I did try out those other sample buds, but didn't do anything for a high really. When I cut those branches all the hairs were extremely white and when it was dried out it was only really a little over 2 bowl packs.

Here are pictures of the sample buds I just picked off a few minutes ago. They are hanging out to dry right now, took them outside to get some better pictures.

Im in fear that you arent going to be happy with this grow. Most sativas that are sold worldwide (and the seeds that come from those bags) arent that potent.
Since your next grow will be northern lights and lowryder then you should be pretty happy with the product you yield.
I believe that you have some amazing potential thats waiting to come out of your closet's closet. lol
and by the way, Id say that strechette is longer than a 12 week strain

 

[toolage]

yeah man i've been feeling the exact same way. I know it will take longer then 12 weeks, but I need the extra time to set everything right before I start out my next grow. Those pictures of those buds that I picked off, were the very bottom buds that were getting almost 0 light. Still have 3 weeks left though so it still has plenty of time to fatten up. For potency though, I really don't think it will be that bad. It didn't come out of shwag or anything. It was a 1 seed in the bag of some pretty decent dank.

I love sativas and would disagree that they are not potent... as any Haze or even the PPP will testify!

No im not saying that it was a beaster seed or anything like that man, actually looks much better than that already, Ive just noticed that the sativa plants grown out of the bag seeds arent that strong because they have genetic faults lots of times. Lots of bagseed plants come from immature seeds that still grow, but they dont grow as well as a fully matured seed and tend to be weaker in my opinion. Lots of people feel differently but Ive grown out probably close to 500+ bagseed sativas and thats what ive noticed in my own experiences.

those arent bagseed sativas generally email. If you get seeds out of those its generally due to a male banana or a hermie that someone missed. The hermie seeds are bad, but the banana seeds are great.
its really all up to chance.

oh right bag seeds... missed that somehow - i have bad luck with bag seeds too (both varieties)!

First let me just say HEY TOOL!! Whats up man

haha sorry bro forgot to add that. The bottom picture weighs 3.9grams
I haven't tried the oven and roll one, but the one that I did in the press. I smoked half of it the face last night and I was retarded stoned for like 2 hours before i finally gave up and went to sleep lmao!

AWESOME Man fucking hash, did u use weed? Or the cuttings from ur plants? I guess thats a stupid question.. but i'm still wondering. ha n 'm still kinda confused on how you did it. I read it but didnt really grasp the idea, prolly cause i'm stoned lol

def gonna take longer then 12 weeks, i've read thru or looked thru alot of journals man, some sativas i've seen get phat as fuck in the last 2 weeks either coming up on 12 wks or going past 12.. But as thin as ur baby is still looking, whoa ... dont worry tho she will phattin up man.. It happens soo fast !! Otherwise man, i wish we could still be growing side by side man! Sucks its hard to keep up n update to date when I don't grow anymore myself.

DEF! love sativas that high is amazing. I agree withca email, there are plenty of amazingly strong sativa strains that will make you so high you forget what your doing +

Yeah bro, I got my fingers crossed for something worth smoking! If not there is always hash . The seed that came out was light brown with tiger stripes all around the seed. I definently won't be growing bagseed ever again. Everyone warned me about it, but it was a great practice grow.

I used the shake of a pound. I'll be using it from the clippings of my plant when it's done as well. I don't think I will be growing it out any longer then 12 weeks, due to me wanting to get everything right in the grow op before I start of the next grow.

Youll be happy with it I think...Your own weed is always better than buying it, even if it isnt as good potency, itll have better flavor.

ive made hash with a pound of schwag before....worked decentlly. Lots better than smoking the schwag too

whats your plans for the next grow? Thats what you need to be thinking of before strechette finishes. Gonna do the drip setup for the next one too or are you going to try something different? I think If your going to be keeping more plants then that will be a pain in the ass....

 

[toolage]

I have been thinking of my next setup and I'm actually going to post that right now. Gimme just a minute gonna pack up a bong for this one.

Timers
2 - 6 Programable Setting Digital Timers

Germinating
I always germ seeds with a paper towel. I have had success with just dropping them in fresh water and let them sit in the dark for a couple of days. I have had a higher success rate by folding the paper towel and placing the seeds in the towel. I damp the paper towel with semi warm water. I place the napkin in a tupperware container and sit it on my projector. I usually have them cracked in anywhere between 16-32 hours.

Grow Cycle
I want to keep them at a decently small size. I don't want them to get out of control like stretch did lol. I want to flower right around 10-11" in height. The flowering period for Northern Lights is 6-7 weeks. Overall grow period for Lowryder is 8 weeks. I am going to be growing 2 northern lights and the 1 lowryder. Even though the lowryder doesn't need the 12/12 cycle, it will still be put under that as they will be planted with Northern Lights.

Cloning
Will only be cloning the Northern Lights. But me and kochab are working a little something up to make my success rate go up

Other then that my only other real plan is ventilation. I can't really grasp the best way to do this, until I get everything out of the closet. I will be removing the tarp and replacing it with a better lightproof one. I will also be mylaring the ENTIRE closet for even better reflection. I will also be making shelves to hold fans in place. I am also going to be investing in an inline fan for my light fixture.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated in this is all of yalls grow as much as it is mine! Lets make an awesome setup together!!

Sweet! I hope you can plant in August when I am gonna drop some seed.
I have a special treat planned but more when its in hand.
But you will probably be way ahead of me by then.
I am just gonna add better intake ventilation and go right back to it here and expect to be all finished up with this batch by the second or third week of July at the latest.
Now don't laugh but...
August 5th I will germinate.
Reason is according to my "Moon Planting Matrix"
The moon is in Libra and is 1/4 waxing (moving toward full)
The best time to plant above ground annuals especially flowers and herbs
It will remain that way until August 7th
OK now you can laugh.
Hehe
Really, I would love to do a side by side with you on this one.
Harvest will be just before the Holidays with enough time to dry and cure well.
(the strain I hope to be growing out takes a bit longer than yours being it does best with a longer veg period)
Anyway, best of luck to you brother finishing this baby up and I already can't wait for the next round.

planning on doing some dwc? I assume thats what the airstone and airpump are for if I am correct.... and if so you may need up to 5 of each (generally 2 per plant is ok)
And why only the one lowryder? Figured you could fit all 10 plants in there easily, then some of them are guaranteed to be males.
Eh anywho, let me know whats up as things progress.
