My third time around with 600 watt hps

Sweet, photos!

YEAH!!!!! I wanna see!?!?

the pics are here
ok, first pic is the 4 seedlings i planted mar 1st
2nd pic is the 5 clones i took just a couple days ago (Mar 20th)
3rd pic shows the 6 clones that have rooted (if you read back in the journal you can see when i took these (2 dif times) <--- was a major struggle actually
4th pic shows my new mother (planted feb 12 ) this is where the 5 new clones came off of <--- this is MY new strain (mix of noname + Mountain Bud ) called "Mountain Bomb" now so that i can stop this explanation <----
5th pic is the 4 seedlings side view (mar 1st plant)

Pic 6 and 7 just showed there hairs so 2 more girls making the tally 2 boys 4 girls and pic 6 was replanted (pic 10 and 11)
Pic 8 is one of my old seedlings that i havent thrown into 12/12 to determine sex yet.. did so today(pic 9 ).
There was another old seedling that i'm sexing as well (when i say old seedling i mean they were planted feb 12th same as my new mountain bomb mother but was not sexed until now

Pic 14-17 are just some bud shots lights on and off

And the second to last pic is the day i put my plants into flower
the last pic is WHY we do it

Flower day 39
Seedling day 22 (4 newest ones)
Seedling day 39 older ones (new mountain bomb mother) and others
Water : Seedlings are getting half strength now. Clones, Mothers , other in veg are getting regular strength (2 micro , 3 gro, 1 bloom )tsp per gallon
Flowering Plants are getting full strength (2 micro , 1 gro , 3 bloom)tsp per gallon until yesterday - they are now getting water only

Air: Veggy room has 1 3 inch 50 cfm exhaust , 1 12 inch oscillating fan
Flower room has 1 3 inch 50 cfm exhaust , 1 18 inch oscillating fan, 1 4 inch PC fan (Heavy Duty) Fresh air intake (right from outside) my guess is about 100 cfm as it moves way more air than the 50 cfm exhaust fans - The veggy room also benefits from the cold air intake

Light : Veggy room has 1 x 150 watt Hps, 1 x t8 4' x 2 bulb = 64 watt 4100k ,3 x 15 watt tube fluorescents , 1 18 watt tube fluorescent
Flower room has 1 x 600 watt Hps, 1 x t8 4' x 2 bulb = 64 watt 4100k

PH is always between 6-7
Nutes : General Hydroponics 3 part
Soil is Pro Mix and or Sunshine #4

Veggy is 18/6 cycle and flower is 12/12

Temps in flower are 26c (78.8f) at hottest and 19c (66.2) at coolest
Temps in veggy are 25c (77f) at hottest and 20c(68 at coolest

Lookin nice, man! Good development there!!

thanks for the props man

Well out of the blue i was talkin to my old neighbor about the strain he had given me.. and brought up how i still didnt know what it was.. and he says its chernobyl <-- last time i asked him he didnt remember.

from what i've read its a good strain (i know the weed is good!) and thats what i have crossed with the mountain bud

Chernobyl + Mountain Bud = my new mother
should actually be kind of interesting to see how she turns out already the leaf pattern is different its completely uniform all leaves are 90degrees from each other

i'm going to research the strain a little bit more and get some more info

having a bitch of a time finding info on it grrr

well for now all i know for sure is that its mostly indica if not all (based on the leaves) and its a very fast flowering strain 45-55 days (i cut a bud down at 39 days)

I can't find anything on Chernobyl... description-wise...

Oh, except this:

A strain of high grade marijuana. Usually runs about 200 - 350 an ounce (varies depending on location and dealer). Kind of hard to find but worth the money. 1 gram can last you a day.

LOL thats the exact same comment i found.. i've heard of the strain locally in the past so i dunno chernobyl is such a hard word to try and search
also checked a bunch of seedbanks and cant find any seeds

COMMENTS:

Smell Description:

Reminds me of an orange juice/vodka punch I drank at a party awhile back, mixed with a slight plesant grassy/skunky taste

Taste Description:

taste was a little strange, no so strong, I suppose its a little skunky.

Medical Effects Description:

Very strong head rushing high makes for a great mood, but compared to some other strains the effect on my aches and pains hasnt been as great.

KEEPER?
<X> YES
<> NO


FINAL COMMENTS:

Great party smoke, and a good smoke for the morning, very strong headrush, makes for a lot of activity, I love listening to music when smoking this, makes my mind and body tingle. Helps greatly with my creativity when playing the guitar. Also notable for its immediate onset almost explosive headrush.

SWEET!!! I'd like this type of smoke...

its been good in the past but this time round the buds are twice the size and look so much sexier than ever b4 (thanx to the peeps at ROLLITUP)

heres a look at the Mountain bud strain thats crossed with the chernobyl

Mountain Bud


A 40/60 Sativa/Indica cross. Large Christmas tree shape with a perfume smell and sweet, fruity flavor.
[SIZE=-1]Flowering time: Outdoor mid Sept.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Height: 6 - 7 feet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Yield: 4 - 12 oz per plant[/SIZE]


Code/Description PricePacks CBS0007: Mountain Bud £30.00

an outside strain... you're indoors. no ill effects?

seems to be fine.. took 5 clones off it.. shes about 18 inches tall at 39 days. What i'm wondering is how long flower time will be and which strain will be more dominant so far the leaf pattern is dif than the chernobyl. would be cool to have giant chernobyl buds hehe but i dont think i want to grow such big plants think i'm going to try growing more smaller ones.

Also thinking of using the 150 watt hps and the 600 in the same area (have the 150 about 12-18 inches below the 600 to work on those lower buds, then put the 4 foot fluorescent back in the veg area. Guess i'll have to read what color temps are best for vegetation i have 4100k bulbs which are apperently "neutral colors" - unless someone wants to quickly mention it here..

really like the 150 in the veg room though, i know the plants love it.
shit i should just go grab some cfls i already have 2 fixtures for them any recommendations? i'll be going to home depot if/when i go

i finally gave up trying to find any info on the strain Chernobyl, but in a last attempt decided to search the rollitup site and wouldnt you know it the first place i should have checked was the last place i checked

I have too say the ChemDawg I grew last year was some serious stuff (Around 20% thc content ) I also grew Chernobyl recently and the stuff made me into a EAR-TOO-EAR SMILLLING RETARD. (The co. I got the seeds from said on average the plants (f-1 hybreed) had a 25%- 28% thc content?) Those buds glistened like crystal in the light on harvest day.

PEACE - GREENSUNSHINE

Newbie In Need Of Some Help
permalink
I'm a newbie & I have no clue as to what I should be doing with my two little clones that I just picked up the other day... so if anyone could help me out by just telling me everything that I will need to know about growing indoors, I would greatly appreciate it!

My main concern's are:
1)Watering Schedule 2)Light & Dark Schedule 3)Temperature, 4)Humidity....
Well Basically I'm Totally Clueless As To What I should Be Doing

I don't know if this will help any but I think they are around 7-9 weeks old, & they are chernobyl plants

P.S-Oh & Some Body, Any Body, Please Hurry Because I Currently Have Them Sitting Underneath My Reading Lamp In My Bedroom... & YEAH.... Hurry I don't want them to die!!!


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Absolutely EVERYTHING i could find on this unbelievably uncommon strain. These posts are off rollitup

If anyone knows anything about the strain please lemme know

Of the small amount i've seen about it it sounds good though (i know its good, i've been smokin it for almost a year now!)

f1 hybrid,Indica/sativa,50 day flower, I am going to be checking the trichs so i may actually extend the time to get maximum fattness, though from what i've read on some of the f1 strains 45-55 days is about normal(the ones that look similar to mine)


^^^ my best guess from what i've read

I've never even heard about it, but I definitely want some! Time to start seriously searching seed banks.

hey dude just skimmed through some of your thread. man i knew i had seen some outstanding pics of buds from you somewhere(page 1 bud pics). hows things going?

cbraa...i didnt even know you had a freakin journal..you should put a link in your signature I read up through page 5 then i skipped to 10 and backtrackd to 9 Ill read it all tomorrow..awesome DAMN job in the future please say pink look at my stuff.. if you do something outside of this journal....on sweety soo pretty!!!

Mastakoosh things are going great, plants actually look more different than ive ever seen them.. i think in the past i always cut down early because of dieing leaves.. but after much time on RollItUp i've been way more patient and its paying off. The bud hairs are looking yellowish and the little fans leaves are way frosty.

The Mountain Bud + chernobyl plant is definitely more sativa, the leaves are narrow and the new stems really extend off the main shoot (easy for cloning)
i'm going to put a few of the plants into flower in the next day or two

Thanks for stopping in pink, I'm thinking i'm going to scrog the one plant i had that really stretched, I started bending it today. I'll make the screen out of tie wire (which i also use for bending.. will take pics for those who dont know of it - tie wire) (a mini scrog screen) Mscrog... trademark

pics coming
