herbtoker's first grow: easy sativa, northern lights, and pure afghani

herbtoker · Jun 23, 2008

went to check out the babies yesterday... they were doin pretty good. the topped ones are filling in nicely and the others look pretty good. still got a damn bug problem but ill keep spraying the plants and hope that it gets better. if not i may have to get some new bug spray

let me know what you think!!!

BigGuyTok'n · Jun 23, 2008

They're filling in quite nicely.
If I find anything for bugs that actually works, I'll let you know. Someone suggested garlic water to me, but I haven't really researched it much yet.
Keep up the good work. :mrgreen:

I shutter now when I think of homemade bug remedies after destroying my plants! Take what I say with a grain of salt, but find a manufactured insecticide with all natural ingredients and plant oils. From what I've tested, those seem to be the safest.

thanks forestgreen, ill look for something else. what i got isnt cuttin it. those bugs love my plants, but i hate them!!

heres an update from yesterday. they are loking pretty good, still being eaten by bugs but still growing strong. i think the new tops are coming along nicely. whats with the really yellow leaf? theres only one of them and it looks really bad. :-|

alrighty thanks plant doc! i gotta get myself some endoll cause the neem alone isnt doing shit! i hate those little bugs...i hope they eat just a little when the buds form then get so high they think they can swim and drown themselves :fire:

i hate them and i hope they stay the fuck away from my plants or die.

sorry about that. just those bugs make me very mad.

gonna water tomorrow and give them some more plant food. ill try to get my pics up monday cause ill be gone all day tomorrow after i visit my babies.

any ideas on that yellow/brown leaf? i dont know what it could be... pH of water or nute deficiency? any ideas help!

sorry its been so long... been busy lately. went to check up on the babies today... they look perty good bongsmilie

except for some yellowing leaves. theyre are a few that look bad in the pictures cause i chopped off the ones that looked yellow before i took the pictures. what could the yellow be from? lack of Nitrogen? underwater? any suggestions help! thanks!

Looking real nice herbtoker. :weed:

I'm sure someone else probably has a better answer for you about the leaves but I think it's fairly common. On mine it always seems to be the leaves on the lower portion of the plant. I beleive that the plant is just ridding itself of unnecessary undergrowth in order to concentrate on those all important buds that we all know and love so much. But of course if it gets out of control and is yellowing all over, there is more to it. :joint:

forestgreen · Jul 7, 2008

You typed, "been busy lately", but I read, "been busted lately." I thought, no wonder its been so long!

How tall are your plants? 2-3'?

thanks bigguy :mrgreen:

i hope that there isnt a problem with the yellow leaves. hopefully it is just what you said. most of the yellow is toward the bottom so i would bet that your guess is right about the plants concentrating on the budding :mrgreen:

when do you think ill start to see sex signs? i gotta make sure none of them are boys... cant let the males get my women pregnant!

forestgreen · Jul 7, 2008

Never let another male get your women pregnant! Then when they are "of age", you wont be able to cut off their heads and smoke their colas!

i hope they dont get them pregnant! im going to start looking for sex signs and make sure the male bitches dont get to my women or ill be one pissed man :cuss:

ill keep my fingers crossed and keep watching

herbtoker · Jul 14, 2008

well today i went to water the babies and they look mighty fine. i am pleased to tell you that they are starting to grow way fast and some have some preflowers! both the topped ones and one other have little white hairs at some of their nodes :mrgreen:

and the other two plants i couldnt quite tell yet but ill keep looking for any sex signs. i would have taken pics to make sure they were are female but i couldnt get any good shots. let me know what you think and any advice you may have :joint:

herbtoker · Jul 16, 2008

went to water today and they look better everyday kiss-ass

the three females look awesome and have some more really small white hairs. the other two plants i still cant tell if theyre boy or girls. i think one might be a boy but its very hard to tell. ill try to get a good picture of the sex signs but its really hard.

let me know if you have any other hints or advice for me and what you think of my weeds :mrgreen:

thanks and happy growing

herbtoker · Aug 3, 2008

sorry its been so long... been really busy and on vacation but my growin buddy has been doin a lot of stuff and helpin me out. we watered today and took some pics... my babies are doin good. three are in full bud, the other two are starting. one of the northern lights has some hairs but im still not sure about the other. ill try to get some good shots next time i go.

let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions... any help or comments would be awesome! thanks!

and i know its very early but if anyone has any idea how much i might be able to get from each plant that would be great. i have no idea... im terrible at guessing how much

herbtoker · Aug 11, 2008

been checkin on my plants a lot lately cause ive been worrying that one might be a boy. i went back today and was 99 percent sure it was. there were little balls and no hairs coming out of any of them. i chopped him down and said a prayer for him in weed heaven.

as for the others, they are all ladies :mrgreen:

i am very happy... 4 for 5 isnt bad. the only part that was bad is that the male plant was the biggest one that i had. oh well... i have 4 more that will hopefully get me some nice buds.

the 3 easy sativas have pretty dang big buds on them. not huge, but they make me happy. all i wanted was to keep one alive and at least get to smoke a bowl from a plant i grew on my own. ill have at least a few bowls from what i can see!

i know its early, but is there any way you can estimate the amount i will have? i was hoping for 2 pounds, but realize that is not a fair amount for a first time grower with scrawny plants. maybe a half pound? i have no idea.

can anyone tell me what the yellowing of the leaves could be? i havent been nuting the last couple weeks but am goin to the hydro store to pick up some fox farm beastie bloomz and possibly cha ching. will that help?
any suggestions or ideas what the yellowing is from would be awesome! thanks!
