First of all.. thanks to everyone on this site.. without reading everything i could get my hands on for the first two weeks (mostly from this site alone), I never would have gotten this far.
Long time lurker, first time poster
.. figured I'd start a journal and see what you all thought and if you had any advice going into the home stretch..
Items used.. in no particular order:
MG moisture control soil
MG All Purpose plant food - 24/8/16 NPK
2, 75 watt grow lights from Wally World
400 watt Mh/HPS
Tiger Bloom
Molasses
3 gal pots? not sure what size pots they ended up in.. but I transplanted from smaller ones
I started off with 6 plants in the very beginning.. germed, sprouted in smaller pots. 2 died when my humidifier fell on them
.. so I was left with 4.
Started all 6 (soon to be 4) under 2, 75 watt grow lights from wally world for the first 2 weeks. Watered ONLY when the soil felt dry, usually going down 3 inches b/c of the moisture control soil.. that stuff holds its water.
3rd week is when I put them under the MH light for the first time, and began using 1/4 strength of the MG nutes. Eventually going up to 3/4 strength. NOT ONCE did I have nute burn.. I know some people hate MG, but its worked wonders for me. I guess you just have to be careful.. I must have read that 1000 times when using nutes, especially MG.
4th week is when I transplanted.. I also topped 1 of the 4, as I definitely wanted to see the effect it had, and also to measure if it gave me more yield than the non-topped ones. I tried topping another about a week later but I ended up FIMMING it.. grr.. just stunted her growth for a few days.
Put them into flowering on their 35th birthday from sprout, all 4 were about 10-12"s..
Then I wasn't prepared for what happened.. I knew that they would double or triple in size when flowering, but mine tripled in 10 days. I was in total shock every morning I woke up and saw them.
On their 40th day, I noticed one of the four was male.. and I was pissed. Killed it that morning, came back, inspected, and BAM, 3 females. 3/4 that survived.. I'm very happy with.
Ok so I think this is long enough.. tomorrow will be their 24th day of flowering.
Here's what I'm wondering..
Can anyone identify the strain?
- Its definitely some kind of hybrid.. because about 2/3 of the bottom growth, the leaves are very wide and big.. top 1/3rd, the leaves are very skinny.
How are they looking?
The age old question, how much longer?
-My plan is to chop in the 8th week, but I'll be patient if they aren't ready by then.
Guess on the yield?
Comments/Questions?
