Blue Cheese, PPP, Thai SS...Jerry's Second Grow

That trainwreck looks so weird... maybe it went back to veg state ??? so it starting shooting those leaves ? thats bizzare

I think I may have discovered the root of my weird growth problem, and I must say it is most distressing. Somehow my timer got set to turn on at 12:45pm and then turn off about half an hour later, which is almost 5 hours into my dark cycle. My girl happened to home one day and noticed the room was glowing...by the time I got the message and called her back (about half an hour) the light was off again.

When I got home sure enough I discovered the 2nd little red "off" tab that I never use (and can't remove) had somehow slid into the engaged position and caused the light to trip on and back off in the middle of the day, while I'm never home. Who knows how long this was going down, as I'm always working during that time, except on the weekend. But even then, it's only half an hour so it would be pretty easy for me to miss it even if I was around.

Judging by the plants, this has been happening for a while. The obvious case is the JTR, but other plants have been doing it too, just more subtly. Some of the plants seem to have retarded bud production but continued stretching. The little OG Kush has clearly started revegging, and the little power kush seems like its pushing out new branches from the buds too.

I have a bad feeling its going to cause a significant setback in the development of all the plants and possibly (probably :/) result in significantly decreased yields when all is said and done.

I'll keep you posted with an update here soon...

Sorry to hear that Jerry. Plants look good though. Is that long growth called fox tail?

With your green thumb I am sure they will be fine. Great job as always!!!

PS: Man you leaves look really good and healthy. Looks like your are getting it fine tuned man. I wish I could! lol

IMO it just set the plants back maybe a week at the most. Readjust to new schedule and it will just take a little longer. Currently doing a manual on/off on timer as me thinks its broke, find out for sure at 5:20 am.

Looking good buddy!! Check out my grow in my Sig!!

I hope your right sota...I just assume that it takes a little while for the hormones to shift from flowering to vegging then back to flowering. Ugh. Everything should be back on track though.

Sucks about your timer. I couldn't imagine trying to manually switch the lights on and off. I KNOW I would forget.

On a side note all my clones have rooted except for the Chiesel, which should be popping any day. The next generation thus far will be...Super Lemon Haze, OG Kush, Jack the Ripper, Chiesel, LSD, Sleestack Skunk and OG18xSkunk. Not a bad lineup. The Super Lemon Haze and OG Kush are both about 3 weeks old from seed now and will be getting transplanted into larger black containers and my soilless mix shortly. Haven't started any LST on them, but I will once they are in black pots.

Also, I began harvesting the JTR a couple days ago, and one trainwreck has already been harvested, along with the Sleestack Skunk party cup I had been shoving into the corner where it got no light. The uncured, barely dried sleestack tastes absolutely amazing...I am most surprised. May be a special plant in my catalog, joining the Chiesel and LSD. The TW, also uncured, tastes like it smells, which is good, but not quite great. I'm not going to grow any more of that until I have the space and a bigger light to let it go nuts.

I've also worked up quite the collection of seeds/strains recently, with more on the way (couldn't resist that freebie vanilla kush from attitude this month!)

Sucks about some of your plants going to veg, but your grow is not lost its just a little time setback...
Yeah its amazing you have so many strains now... im really interested in that Super Lemon Haze

Thats right I already asked you about that Soilless recipe. Checked out Subcools recipe too. All that stuffs not cheap but so worth it. Hopefully Ill be able to use a combo of yours and Subcools for my WhiteRhinos after sex’n em.

So its just the SLH and OGK are seedlings and everything else is clone? Its getting hard to keep track of your strain library. Might be a stooped Q, but have you done any breeding?

At the moment SLH and OG Kush are the only two plants grown out from seed. The others all started as seeds at one point or another, but have since been cloned and that is what is growing now.

I don't have a space conducive to breed in at the moment (namely somewhere for the males so they don't pollinate everything in the room) so its not something I've been able to dabble in yet. I definitely intend to, but just can't at the moment. So fem seeds and clones work pretty well for my setup.

Space for a male is the issue, your right ya dont want him skeetin all over the place.

You can keep a male in pretty much anyplace you like cause they dont require lots of light... near a window will do. On my lat grow i kept a male this way and pollinated one of plants to get seeds. It worked out pretty well.

its not the point of just keeping the male plant the things isthat pollen will spread through air insects or even through urself coming into contact with the pollen then going to ur grow room and accidently pollenating ur crop. The pollen sack pop and the yellow powder pollen is released through the air the fine small particles are so small some wont fall to the floor and just float around ur house. So its a good idea to have ur males in a diff house and make sure u wash ur clothes straight away from visiting it.

Yeah breeding is great crossing strains i will cross my own bred haze with a bit of lemon skunk

Be nice to see what you would cross Jerry maybe blue cheese and super lemon haze

Evil

I kept a male plant for pollinating a small portion of one plant. I kept the male plant in a separate room, and the small part of branch that I pollinated was the only place and only plant that got any seeds. So its not like your male plant is going to wreak havoc on your grow if you just keep it in a separate room.

You still have to be careful, you can transmit it on your clothing, fans can blow it around.....

Yeah, I've had all these thoughts already and come to the conclusion it just isn't worth my time right now.

Things are coming along fine after my little lighting mishap. I can tell the flowering plants are still confused and unhappy about the light repeatedly coming on in the middle of the dark cycle, but I'm sure they'll finish out fine.

Pics are coming soon, I just have to find my camera battery charger first...

Ya find it?

Battery is charged, camera is ready to go. Pics will be taken sometime when the lights come on. It's coming though...really...I promise.

So I've been smoking some of the JTR, and man is it tasty. I liken it to lime sherbet. Very fruity and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. Can't wait to flower the clone!

Everyone in the flower room is slowly recovering from the light fiasco. It produced some very funky re-vegged growth...some of the calyxes on the LSD are freakishly large...but they do seem to be maturing properly again.

Also, I'm in the process of upgrading to a 600w. Kind of impulsive, I know, and unnecessary for my little space, but whatever. I'll use it now and whenever I move into a larger space I'll have an improved setup.

This always has been one of my Favorite on this site! Love bro
