First grow journal cannalope and ?

Yeah I realize that different strains take nutes different that's why I'm a little worried that colombians will be picky as they were the only one that showed signs of overfert or anything, even the younger much smaller plants did not burn. The pics don't look that bad but they look a little worse than the pics show. A lot of the inner leaves were showing it and it happened so fast I thought it might continue but I think it's okay. I did use the ff bb yesterday and they still look good and happy.

I have topped all of them now so this next week I'm hoping they will take shape and get nice and bushy. The bag seed that I Fimed, I think I did it wrong as all I really did was trim the leaves and the growing shoot wasn't really damged we shall see.

As far as the drooping I think your confused because I hang fishing lures on them when they are young so that they build stronger stems and stay low and to encourage them to branch out. Since I have topped them now and the stems are thick I have taken the weights off. At first I noticed I was watering too much because I had a lot of gnats so I tried to limit how often I am watering I've been doing about once every 3 days even though I probably could've waited another day or 2 last watering because there was a lot of moisture still in the bottom.

They will probably be lowered tonight or tomorrow and i will post pics on sunday so that you can see first pic...5 days later....and five days later and they will be ready for some more nutes I think.

oooo.. kk. i didnt know u were hangin fishing lures... thats probably wat it was. cant wait to see the new pics!! and i still have never topped of FIM'ed any of my plants yet.. soo i cant really help ya out there.. but i am planning on doing one or the other to my clone.. so it will stay short and bushy.. I'm gonna turn it into my mother plant, so i want it short and bushy. =)

Looking good man. I like to see lots of pics, that's how I do my journals too. Keep posting them, I'm subscribed.

Looks good.

cool guy welcome...that's a lot of pressure I hope I don't dissappoint, I'm a little superstitous.

Anyways just a little update before pictures on sunday. It's pretty cool it has been dumpin snow and should continue so my temps are way down to about 76 degrees even only inches away from the bulbs. That worked out perfect so I don't need to drop them down lower just yet. I added a aquarium humidifier system with some aquarium hosing artound the bottoms of the plants. It hasn't really raised the humidity but I have been keeping it as it couldn't hurt having a little fresh air around the bottoms especially since they are so short and stocky. I have just spraying them as much as possible.I guesstimated that I had about 3 feet to work with and I would flower at 1.5 feet but the actual measurements are a little less so 3 feet would be pushing it a little bit. So I will flower around 1 foot and hopefully they will be plenty bushy. The colombian that I've been having problems just looks like crap to me, it's not that bad I guess. Just rusty color leaves and the leaves just look waxy and not healthy. The shoots are growing allright though and the other one is looking really nice so I'm not too worried. That's why I got a lot of strains to see which ones work for me and my setup. Not a lot of smell from any of them except for one of the CH....I'm going to keep my eye on this one because it's a little different than the look of the other 2 and the fact that it's smelly. Happy Fri.

Well I was going to wait till tomorrow to water since some of the soil was moist but the organic nutes I had bubbling since yesterday had evaporated a lot of water so I just decided to add it today. I don't think I'm going to mix it the day before anymore since my water already sits out before I add the nutes. So as promised here's pics.

Pic 1 2 and 3 are to show growth 2/11 2/16 and 2/21...notice they were topped after the second

Pic 4 is the smelly CH
5 and 6 is the hawaiin that has some spots and notice the curling on the leaf I think it's due to heat
7 and 8 are the udersides of the big CH and the smelly CH
9 is the healthier colombian
10 is the healthier hawaain
11 is the bagseed I tried to fim...as you can see the lower set of leaves that got snipped. I didn't think it looked right so I retried and basically new set looks exactly the same. I don't know if I'm not chopping enough or that's just how it grows..??
12 is the shitty colombian you can really see the burning bettr but the new growth looks okay
temps good let it snow!!

K theres the last 2

Looking good dude, minor nute burn on one of those pics, nothing to worry about really though.

Thanks I am very eager to see how they grow also, I don't see how this could be pure sativa.

For horrible Okay I confused you with someone else. I am familiar with bcbuddepot.com I want to try the purps someday.I have grown Mango from K.C. Brains before under the 250 mh at about the height mine are now I induced flowering.I only had 2 females out of 2 seeds (1 romulan turned male)and I kept them short on the table i have now they were pretty good and I got some mango a few weeks ago from the dispensary that was good too.

hey pipedream hopefuly soon you wont have 2 buy from dispensiary[except to sample new product] as your stuff gets ready

Subscribed, looking good.

That's the idea save me the 400$ a month. So another update. I gave the fertilizer and they are looking nice good and green. No more problems other than yesterday I think I caught a bug on my camera looking for preflowers. I'm not going to worry about it just yet I deleted the pic it was sending bad vibes if a problem comes I will get insectacide or something it definately wasn't a mite. There are really no spots evidence of an infestation and the only strange things is there is some holes in some of the leaves which i believe to be from the fishing hooks...they've been there.

Anyways enough of that the winter storm is over and the sun is back up I lowered down the plants about 4'' by placing the new table in and placing them on top of my emily's garden. I plan on using this after I finish my soil and get some more $ saved. The temp will be a lot cooler and you can see the humidifier is in much better position to make a difference now. I imagine they will grow for another week or so and they will be dropped another 5" right on the table. I'll check the root mass when the soil dries out and see how far off the transplant is and hopefully I can see some preflowers before I flower. Here's some pics

kinda bummed I think I might have at least 2 males from the CHs. The big one is still not showing any preflowers but the other two have what looks like pollen sacks Still in veg though so no need to pull. I decided to start building my grow box so that I can grow some more seedlings when these go to flower and also to keep clones in the future. I have planted some very old beans (I think) I may have tried to germ them and they didn't go or I kept them seperate but never labeled them? I think they are 2 purple indica(never got one sprout)and one BBxWR from the 90's that I bought when marc emery was doing his thing. So if I get those to sprout I might have something really interesting but just in case I planted a romulan I'm going to try and take clones from these plants while these ones flower.

here's a lin to the grow cabinent if you got any suggestions let me know I've always used HIDs in my closet lol.

Heyy man.. Glad to see your plants are comin along GREAT!! Everything's lookin good! glad to see you got more people posting stuff on here now too! always makes the growing process more fun when you have people that are like.. beggin u to put up pics and complimenting you on your grow. cuz it does take a lot of hard work to grow the plant.. and then update it on here every few days, and get good enough pics to post.. soo it pays off havin people tell you how good they look. =) They DO look really good tho. keep up the good work!

Sorry 2 hear about the males tho. =-/ But.. as long as u got 1 female.. you'll be good! maybe.. if you want.. you can keep 1 male.. and put it in another room or closet.. and collect some of the pollen. if its from a good strain u like. and if you want more seed.. just collect some of the pollen in a little baggie or sumthing.. and keep it in there.. and once ur female plant starts budding.. get a Q-Tip, and dip it in the pollen.. and the just dab a little on a lower branch/bud of your female plant.. and that way u can get some seeds out of it.. =) and if its the uknown strain and the cannalope.. you will be making your own strain!

Its just an idea.. I wanna do that with my White Widow.. if I had a Male Blueberry plant.. I would love to get some pollen from it.. and dab it on my WW plant.. adn make some Blue Widow seeds. =D Mmmmmmmm... Blue Widow..... =)
