Great to have you along. I am in the process of adding pix to the original post. Check back for updates.

i'll hold a good thought for the cali-o budding, remember, it's not over till it's over

Tiktok · Mar 19, 2012

Having issues with my humidity. It's way too high, around 60 to 70%. I have a 6in fan inside the tent, I have a Hugh room dehumidifier right outside the tent and a space heater set at 75^ F. Any advice would be appreciated.

growone · Mar 19, 2012

humidity is a tough one, i don't think that humidity will be too bad
i'm in a low humidity area(usually), but i've been able to grow without problems in humidity in the 70% range
ventilation should help, if you suspect humidity problems, more air flow should help

Tiktok · Mar 19, 2012

Growone, thanks for the reply. I get nervous about humidity now because I had mold in my last grow. Messed up my largest cola and most of my bud. I'm thinking of opening up my tent and see if that works. I'm growing in my basement so light leaks are not an issue.

growone · Mar 19, 2012

ah, basement, that could be a complication
i've had some mold before, not a lot, but it still sucked
the one tip i've seen on this is not to over water during flower
not much else i can think of other than putting in a ventilation pipe to draw in lower humidity air from another location
but that could be a large and involved project

My Juicy fruit is stretching way too much; just the one branch. Same thing with the CaliO. PE I think is growing great.

I think I am going to have to cut that leading branch down on my JuFru.

growone · Mar 20, 2012

i see 2 stretched out plants in the 4th pic? and yeah, they do look pretty stretched
this looks like the cali-o with a strong sativa expression, which might be normal, mine was a more indica pheno(still very good though)

Tiktok · Mar 20, 2012

Yo Growone, yeah your caliO def looked way different from mine. That was a nice grow log. 10 weeks to bud makes me feel a little better about my progress i was thinking Indica times like 8weeks. I think my PE and JuFru will def be done in 8 but this CaliO is going to go long. I hope it starts to bud up alot more soon.

growone · Mar 20, 2012

what's the gentics of yours? there's a lot of variants of this line, most seem to be worthwhile
i think the 'classic' one is AE77, or something like that, also seen cali-o described a being in the skunk family

Tiktok · Mar 20, 2012

I got my seeds from cannabisseeds.com. Really inexpensive seed bank, not sure of the specific genetics.

growone · Mar 20, 2012

all seeds are a crap shoot, their reputation is a bit uneven
that you are seeing a more indica looking plant is good, distinct from the stretchy ones
some have complained all their strains looked alike, i think they get seed lots from various places, sometimes you get good, sometimes not

Tiktok · Mar 20, 2012

Yeah I kind of figured they didn't have good seeds. It took me forever to get this CaliO and my JuFru to germinate. I got them both from the same place. My PE is from attitude.
I did get my humidity down to 40 - 55%.

growone · Mar 20, 2012

i do see some bud in some of the stretchy plants, the JF? i think you're having reasonably good results for their seeds, i have seen worse feedback on them
you never know what the quality will be, some cautious optimism seems reasonable

Tiktok · Mar 31, 2012

plants lookoing good, flowering great. let me know what yall think.

growone · Apr 1, 2012

i do see some stretchy looking sativa like females, not bad, we'll have to see how they plump up
i think you did very well for those seeds from that sketchy bank, some folks seem to get lucky from them, but that's not an endorsement for them, lot of bad experiences posted on them

Tiktok · Apr 1, 2012

Yeah I'm thinking 8 weeks for my pineapple, 10 weeks for the juicy fruit, and 12 weeks for the CaliO.
That means I have about 4 weeks left on my pineapple express, 5 weeks on my juicy fruit, and 6 weeks on the CaliO.

Sorry for not updating. I hate reading half finished journals so i will not leave this one incomplete. I do see now how some journals don't get finished though. People get busy with life and growing and either forget or run out of time. anyway, this will be a complete journal.
