Day 43 in 10/14: from a seed. CFL's rule, I guess I fed her right because all I see now is trichs. :clap:

That's all I wanted to see, the other 2 should catch up nest week or so. and the last is gonna be a wild one, i have no idea when she'll bloom out. Oh, and as you can see, i got 2 perfect loops now!!! This grow is going great, knock on wood...

this is why i never pay for seeds :-P

also, i've been drying and keeping all the fan leaves i've pruned since flowers appeared. yesterday i ground them up and smoked a nice phat bowl. It got me way higher than any regular bagweed!!! and it tasted nice and skunky, can't wait for the real bud!

So I set a couple of "fly" traps today, hopefully they will do the jorb. but i am also going to put some fly paper in there. One trap is just vinegar with plastic over it; poke hole in with a knife so the gnats get in and drown or just get stuck. The other trap is a grape, cut in half and sprayed, heavily, with poison.; also covered so the poisoned ones hopefully don't die in my flowers. and the fly trap is sure to attract the res of the stubborn ones.
the plants seem to be doing fine, i pruned a bit and dropped a light in the center of the box for a total of 5, 6500k (32500k) cfls now.& that's only 115W! lol and i am growing 4 bushes off it.
I have been flush-feeding every-other-day, with miracle grow plant liquid food. 15-16 drops/qt. doesn't seem to be hurting, so i'll just stay with that for now.

:peace:

Sample Time!!!

:bigjoint:

she smelled so good i couldn't w8. so this is 55 days total, from a seed, in soil, w/cfl's

What's up man. Cool looking grow you got going. Regarding gnats and flies, I've heard that if you stick in a couple slices of a fresh potato each day and then throw it out the next, it will help because the bugs will lay their eggs in the potato. and if you keep throwing it out the living bugs (who only live for a few days anyway) will eventually die off.

I've just started my own micro grow a couple days ago. Check it out here

Actually, being insane, I planned to grow and harvest the fastest, cheapest way possible. As long as I get 1/2 oz p/plant this will be a continuous cycle. I mostly cut it to taste it b/c I used a cheap soil, bagseed, and little nutes. I thot it was gonna look better than it really is, but it is as good as it looks. The other 3 and what's left of this one are still flowering. Plus I went away for the week, and I figured I'd at least try it, in case something went wrong while I was gone. But all went well and they look better than ever!

Oh how I love growing my own "shwag" :peace:

So fruity-n-fresh

floridasucks · Sep 22, 2009

yea man i would have to say you are insane for cutting that plant so early. it was just starting to bud... next time be more patient, let it finish. u will be alot more satisfied.

This is from seeds in my regular Mexican shwag bud that I have collected over the years... I have about 1000 or so, I mixed them all up. If you take care of them, almost any MJ seed can be great

And to Florida:
my plants are basically bonsaied, so they have small roots and are twisted, bushy little mothers. They are not intended to be mass producers, just efficient and space saving.
And as i said, I left for a week and wasn't sure all would be well when I returned... I got lucky, the rest of this plant (bottom left) is still thriving as well as the 3 others, I had to move them, so I thot it may stress them, so I took the good nugs while I had a chance to, no regrets either.Dry weight the three colas came out to 1/3 oz. and the last cola left is the biggest one, and she's growing fine still as you can see.

wait u harvested part of that plant? i dono man it just looked like there was no trichomes on it. but hey if it get u high then enjoy. at least your happy with what u got.
sounds like you have plenty of seeds so im sure you have a lot to learn with. believe me, letting you plant mature fully will make the biggest difference in the world. keep growin, your skills will only improve.

LOL, I just have to laugh at that, have you even looked at the previous pix? Trichs like crazy... jeez, allow me to show u the piece i cut once again... and this was on day 30 (2 weeks b4 i cut her). But I have no need to explain myself, it is mine and I will do with it as I please, with all do respect, and it was very tasty, heady, and fruity fresh. Nuthing like smoking fresh THC!!!

:peace:

Even the fan leaves were covered in trichromes. And will be used for cannabutter with the rest of my trimmings soon.

I agree, from that pic it may be hard to see the quality in some pix, but that is because the lights are so damn bright in there, and the glare off the white pistils is too right for the camera to read clearly in there. Plus I'm a crappy photographer, sorry.

But, if u look u can see that I cut the lower 3 colas and left the largest one in the rear there to finish filling out. NO Nutes have been added or proper watering/flushing because i have been out of town. So I feel lucky to come home to any functioning plant material. This really has been one of the easiest (low-maintenance) grows I've ever done. And I always top, trim, prune and bend 'em hard.

:peace:

Good 'ol durable Mexican Brick weed seeds, free seeds and not a single sign of hermaphroditic traits! And exactly 4/8 (f/m) ratio :mrgreen:

even "feminized" seeds come out 50% males or hermies, and u could never stress those store-bought brands like I can with these wild seeds!

floridasucks · Sep 23, 2009

i wouldnt know about fem seeds, never used em.

but yea ive grown some real nice bud from brick weed seeds. i got a pic somewhere hold on..

not to bad eh?

OutdoIndo · Sep 23, 2009

I hope they frost up a bit more, of course. They have gotten a beautiful 70 or below with rain for the past 2 days, it's the perfect pre-fall harvest weather, so I've actually been letting them get some fresh air for a change. They seem really happy

Also, i think my gnat problems are not so much a problem because this soil is growing moss real fast. and it has not been over moist, the moss actually grows when the top of the soil is dry. I think the gnats are cleaning the surface soil and they supposedly only eat decomposed plant matter, so I think that they may actually be contributing to the fertilization of the soil. They defecate and lay eggs there, so it's bound to help somehow. They stay away from the buds and don't chew they leaves so no harm done, I guess. Nothing noticeable anyway.
:peace:

this is my last mexi-bagseed grow:

Yeah buddy, but try to keep 4 of 'em from growing out of a rubbermaid box, that's my trick, and they are harvest redi in only 2 months. big beauties like urs take 4 or more months, and I only wish I had that open space and sunshine available to me, I would go back to jail tho :roll:
