all but 2 seeds germinated, planted them and all but 1 sprouted. so now I have 5 babies + 1 big baby + 4 unsexed juniors and 2 fems in flower. today I put that small girl to flower.

although they werent supposed to go to flower till they were bigger, their genetics were bad and I dont have any weed so theyll supply a small quantity of weed til the real flowering with 1-2 month old xtreme fetish, bondage, torture, etc..etc.. LSTed plants begins. yes Ill uber LST the babies and let them grow pretty big before flowering them.

so now just waiting for the other 2 seeds to germinate and the 1 seed to sprout and the saga will be complete.

the big one in flower has just completed its 1st week of flower.. hurray.. 8-9 more to go (hopefully no more)

so many new people keep signing onto the forums its hard to keep track of all the grows

I dont know if its only me but when you log on to the forums as a guest ( not signed in ) my popup blocker goes crazy bombarding popups

anyhow I havent posted because there isnt anything to see really.. lsted the 2 big veggies ( unsexed but im guessing one male one female ) then have 8 smalls in there and another 6 seed germinating (from new weed, I though it would kick ass if this were sinsemilla so Im going for it

) the 2 plants in flower are not so well, alot of N deficiency leaves are going yellow then crisping and falling off. Im going to feed some N.. I dont really care if these plants give me 2 joints or give me nothing at all.. the babies are going to rock Ill be lsting them and vegging them for 1..2.. if possible 3 months. Ill do it untill they hit the lights and have no more spots to be tied down from, then Ill throw them into flower and have kick ass healthy strong plants, I hate dealing with weak plants.. bleh!

space out!

The flowering plants look bad.. they were mutants and there now flowering properly. The 2nd I put there hasnt even sexed yet so Im pulling it out and throwing it away.. The other one isnt so bad Ill let it go and chop it for newyears.
The veggies however are the bomb. Many babies growing up great, the 2 big ones one has showed hairs the other still undecided but Im hoping its a female because it hasnt showed balls .. and males show balls early.
Pics before and after LSTing. Im putting in hooks around the pot and just tieing the plant down to the next hook every 1-1.5 weeks and making a "circle-lst" .. which should let the plant stay low and veg there untill its awesome then put the big momma into flower and kick butt.
Enjoy !

i really liked the old plants better. they were indicas and they grew strong, heavy, and filled out alot and were bigger. these sativas are weak, puny, and have alot of problems..

we were just discussing with a friend the difference of the sativa and indica strains, we both prefer indica over sativa. now although many people love the high the sativa gives, It doesnt satisfy me enough.

The indica is like getting on a spaceship. You smoke the joint and giggle the 3-4 minute wait for it to hit you.. and then out of the darkness it flashes onto you and crawls its way up to your brain..

then you start to feel funny and you say to yourself: here we go again! I love this feeling!.. and the engines burst out the flames and push the spaceship countering the force of gravity.. your head starts to tremble with joy and you notice that time has slowed down almost to a stop. you look around yourself and notice every object around you and you see it as a frame, through a window. and you feel how everything you look at glances back at you. by this time your eyes start to light up with colors and then it hits you...

you hit the warphole at a thousand miles an hour and it keeps accelerating and light waves start booming onto your eyes of all colors. heres the fun part.. now you are immersed into the stone and your brain starts the magic. you start thinking about things.. anything, everything. you lift up your head and time has stopped by now, everything is slow and you cannot move.. you think about munching on a brownie but you cant lift your hand up to get it.. takes you 5 minutes.and then you start to think about everything thats around you and why its there or how it got there.. and all these things play on a different frame inside your head. and you act these out with your imagination.. with characters from cartoons and talking potatoes and carrots.. and you immerse yourself into though so much you start thinking the cartoons are alive and you look around yourself stupidly and find that there dancing around but you cant move, youve been glued onto the sofa and you just turn your head left and right from time to time and laugh. if you have a movie on ( I always do.. and there usually about weed

ill get to this after i finish talking about indica trips.. ) and you blend into the movie like you were there.. and everything that happens in the movie you see it; like bad acting, or messups, or just things in the story you woudlnt have noticed if you were sober. you start to think as the characters and.. wAAAA it feels great

maybe I havent smoked such great sativas I dont know.. but the sativa high leaves me too open minded. I can type perfectly on the keyboard do anything but lazily and but dont enjoy it as much as the indica.. the indica is a trip, an experience.. a time travel kind of thing

movies ... have you ever seen a movie... ON WEEDD? thats the way to see it man!! lol ( half baked ). comedy rules.. i mean it just crushes any other gender.. action sucks because you get lost and you dont understand whats going on and how they got there.. action makes you understand a scene before it moves to the next and you just dont get it when you are stoned. a comedy you put it on and there almost always in this way:

-normal guy / guys / girls just living
-something happens and they must go on a mission
-the mission ( the adventure )
-conclusion

so it draws you in from the birth of the character and drags you along and you can perfectly "go in to" the movie.

i dont like drama while stoned.. its just too much wait for something to happen and you get bored and want to change the movie.. but you cant!! stoned= no legs or arms, so it sucks even more

i really dont like horror eigther... its like falling to hell and not being able to get out.. imagine watching the exorcist... youd have a heartattack... the exorcist the original is probably the best horror ive seen. others are just jumpy monsters or stupid stuff.. this one gets under your skin and makes you think about things.. wont watch it again

cheech and chong.. no really, those movies are specially designed to fit the pothead arent they.. they are right? Ive watched them all and the best in my opinion are: Up in Smoke, Nice Dreams, Next Movie, Still Smoking. the rest are off topic and not really that funny. watching those while stoned rocks.. theres alot of things that fit perfectly.. some are on purpose, some are bad acting and how the story unfolds. Like Still Smoking just pops scenes onto you and acts them out, its great!

Noone likes but some ideas under it were good.. apocalyptico, aka the running man

. they take them into "the place of stone" and the curse and all that is cool to see how it happens one by one.. and then the running part feels like you are him.. all this while stoned ofc... is good.

Rockers is the best reggae movie out there. Its a great movie. Its funny to see the rastafari payback on the mafia, their way

Harold and Kumar is good, especially the bathroom scene.
im just looking at my library and writing some here hehe :P

Eurotrip, Superbad, Halfbaked, oh wtf i dont believe this.. I downloaded How High the other day and havent watched it its just sitting here.. .. ding! time to make some popcorn..

Meet the fockers, Borat is funny, Crank is ok, Seraphim.. macho survival.. he was in the horse... that is not right..

anyhow.. going to watch that movie.. if you have read until here give yourself a pat on the back and you have my gratitude.

heres the veg room pics.. the lsted plants are rockin, going to keep them there untill the ones in medium pots are growing out and males out and they need to be put into larger pots.. then ill take these buy some new pots ( much bigger ones ) and kick those into flower and see how a fully grown adult gives me some thermonuclear boombastic warheads to nuke my brains with it..

too much creativity today.. or I might have smoked myself stupid.. havent been smoking.. so I might just be stupid.. ...
naaaaaah

peace and love!

Sup WHiskey! Hows it goin?

I like your new flower tent, looks promising

About the rotten seeds, ive had 100% germination success by placing a paper towel on a plate, dampen it but not too much water ie no pooling, place couple more towels on top and dampen, then place in an opaque bag, dont seal it, then keep in a cool dry place for a few days.

For cloning i use :
Grow Marijuana FAQ, Cannabis cultivation - marijuana growing tips & photos

Ive had 90% cloning success with this technique.

You said you want to buy a cheaper strain because you feel your setup isnt good enough? Dont think like that! Buy the best strain you can possibly afford and you'll never regret it, i bought 10 bubblegum seeds and only got one female, but i managed 6 clones off her, then cloned 6 off those clones, and 6 off the following clones, im in the third generation of the original only female!

Buy "cheese" , its the 2006 Cannabis Cup winner for the indica division. You wont regret it, but you'll WILL regret buying some cheapie seed pack.

Anyways good to post on your new grow.

Oh and the paper towel method, i keep the plate in the bag out of the sun, it did just great in the shade, no light necessary.

blank_21 · #32 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 08:39

Oh and wanted to say once you buy an expensive strain, you can just clone it over and over, i wouldnt pollinate to get seeds, messy and fuck who wants seeds in there weed. Cloning is the way to go!

whisky · #33 (**permalink**) Jan-14-2008, 17:15

actually i had posted about 2 days ago but that post got abducted i guess.. so ill sum what i wrote " im going hydro ".

ok now ....

... i bought most of the things, still need aquarium silicone and a drill.. the silicone ill buy but the drill my friend is bringing his over this saturday.. so the contruction will halt till then. other then that i have everything.

i have a long tray, a tank for the water; the pump couldnt pump the water up so i put a small table in there and have the thing higher then the tray so now it pumps easily... but where will water go after filling the tray you say... yea thats was a problem.. but i came up with a solution.. since theres no space left in the tent and even if there were it would be uncomfortable and i would spill break drop and break lights, the tray.. and other things, i though i could drill a hole under the tray and plug one end of the tube just like a normal drain but then cut out a hole in the tent and have the tube pouring out into a disposal bucket outside the tent. this way i dont even have to touch the tent i just take the disposed water pour it back into the tank and let it back to its place

so i have those and i bought an air pump, an air stone? something like that.. it makes bubbles in the water, a liquid pump (duh), and i found out what rockwool was in martial.. so i went to the store and asked for it and they had it tucked away in a dirty corner with lice and worms.. nah

i finally got rockwool!

clay balls, lava balls, vermiculite, perlite.. wasnt able to find any..
but i got styrofoam ... a big fat huge slab of styrofoam ill grind into little balls and let them sit on the tray.. theyll float and fall off u say.. but the trays gna be closed so they wont fall out

that sure wont do no.. but itll have to until i get my hands on something that will. my friend found this interesting thing at some market. its like a little bag filled with balls, you throw them in the water and they get big and you can use them as soilless medium. seems pretty cool. ill get those when i meet up with him and he tells me where to get them

.

seeds are such a problem i cant get them. im trying to convince people who can to get them but there not cooperating. i found this new weed and it was pretty good and its not related to the other weed so im germinating some seeds.. i dont care about how great it is i just want it to be a proper plant, like on the first grow.

so the system is ebb and flow hydro, the lights ill be adding 3 more so a total of.. 12 lights for 4 plants. ill have .. dono 4-8 plants in veg but only keep max of 4 females. more doesnt make it better.. i prefer growing less but of better quality. the hydro system is great because you just have to check it every day to see its giving water then do nothing else.. it does everything.. oh and put water from bucket a back to bucket b.. thats it

i have automated timers on the lights and on the pumps.
the bubble pump will be running for 3 hours before the water pump goes off then rest, then again before each feeding. the water pump will run for 15 minutes ( its the lowest on the basic plastic timer ) 2-3 times a day im not sure which one yet ( could someone suggest 2 or 3? ).
there is no problems because the pump has 3 settings ( low, medium, max) and ill see which setting clears 10 litres of water in exactly 15 minutes and let that one run, because if the pump is too slow it wont get enough water through, if its too fast then the water will be gone and itll be running without water ( its a submersible fan and they heat up if this happens).

i havent even started hydro but im very exited about it. i can see why so many people prefer this, its so much easier. i hate dealing with the soil of the other grow.. each time i do something to the plants theres soil all over the room and i have to come with the vacuum and clean it.. i still like soil but maybe for outdoors when i have my own house and im not in a 6x3 room .. yes my room is very small

in the 2nd soil grow i was unfortunate because of the seeds. and because of that i just gave in all hope and didnt care and let them all die. im positive this will work wonders, but will these new seeds? .. well we will find out pretty soon!
im going to continue my hydro grow on this thread!
the room will be done and the seeds will have germinated.

i wont be posting much because im afraid they are starting to read things that people post in the internet.. there monitoring what everyone does. so ill be posting smaller comments and just posting some pics most times..

peace to all

whisky · #34 (**permalink**) Jan-20-2008, 03:36

everything is set up. there might be some drainage problems.. and there might be trouble with the rockwool.. its very hard and it doesnt take in water.. is it supposed to be like this? ive never used rockwool before.
seeds are germinating

hopeless0ccasion · #35 (**permalink**) Jan-21-2008, 01:33

hey "whisky" i read one of your threads earlier today it was sooo long and it was like a book it is the most of anything i have ever read it was funny sad dramatic everything, your freaking hilarious. after seeing willie wortels website at hempcity.net i to me he was the number one person that i thought was the best at any kinda of cannabis cultivation. But after reading your work i say you are the number one. you are doing what i wish i could. i have a a plant that is going on 3 months of age i was wondering if you could get back to me some how. all of the plants you have planted were the best. a bud that you said you pulled from the plant you called daisy had to have been my favorit it had brownish looking hairs and looked great. your the best man peace!

whisky · #36 (**permalink**) Jan-22-2008, 04:41

thank you im happy you liked it "h0c"

hehe i though noone read those long messages.
its not really that hard to grow, just plan and organize the thing once then give it water and watch it grow. it might not turn out like the other plant pics on this forum but you will learn and get better at it, and eventually learn to control the force

if you have questions or need help id say just open up a journal thread take a couple pics and (unlike my thread which people just look at the pics cuz the writing is so long) people will help you

Im almost done with the new room... its starting to turn out really good but i have encountered some problems.

1) rockwool --> bad bad. not only is the rockwool is so hard it doesnt take in water it smells like fish and piss. i told the store about this and i wanted to give it back and they said oh you must go find the person who is incharge of that material blabla.. ( find the person that peed on it kid, we dont give a f*** )

2) watering will be manual.. ill just use the pump to pump water into the plant watering thing, and the bubler can be there working set on a timer. drainage problems... some water stays in the bottom.. thats why i decided not to use the flood technique for watering.

just those problems i guess.. for the veg stage i have 6 white cfl + 2 orange cfls in the middle, total of - 11,200 lumens. the planter has been covered so that no light reaches the roots and theres space for 8 plants.

i put 8 foam cups and ill pluck some holes into the bottom so the roots can grow out. these cups will be filled with cotton and will hold the seedlings for their first 2 weeks. when the plant grows out the bottom itll be in the actual mixture of the tray which consists of
styrofoam and gel. im still breaking up the styrofoam into bits 1 by 1.. it takes so long, zzzz.

and for flower there will be 10 orange cfls and 2 white, a total of - 18,300 lumens.
i was thinking of a HPS this time, but itll have to wait for next year. ive also taken the pc fan and mounted it in the tent.. the growcab will not be used anymore. veg and flower will be done in the tent.

this said ill get back to breaking up the foam. i had seeds in germ for about 4-5 days and some have sprung up, those will be planted today when the thing is done. ill post pics when its done

whisky · #37 (**permalink**) Jan-27-2008, 12:44

it didnt work... the drainage was one problems but even if I got that sorted out, without proper rockwool or lava rock balls .. cotton, styrofoam and gel didnt do the trick.

happy that the first seeds had just begun to crack I took them out of the cotton and placed them inside soil. not worrying about the failure, it didnt cost me anything. everything I have bought I still use, so no problems there

.

Fan goes on 30 mins then goes off 30 mins from lights on to lights off. Water bubbler (this makes the water more oxigenated which is a good thing) goes on for 45 minutes 4 times a day.

Photos are coming when the little youngones are about in the garden. Right now 10 have cracked and ive planted them. Theres 8more i think germinating.

Ill be happy with 4 proper females. The reason ive planted so many is because with these bad seeds I have about a 1/4 female ratio and even among the females theres many mutants and weak plants that dont flower properly and suffer my wrath and get killed.
Only strong and brave ones may remain under my tent of fame.

(Yes ive been reading alot of forgotten realms lately.. I also got an audiobook of the whole series and I put on one of the books, turn on classic music, turn on the lava lamp, and let my mind dream off to the adventures of Drizzt)

So

Glad that everything is fine now.. Were back on the grow!

Here are photos from today, took them just after watering.

hydrocannabis · #39 (**permalink**) Jan-30-2008, 11:25

so what happend to UR other plants?

whisky · #40 (**permalink**) Jan-31-2008, 07:04

they were too weak and mutated.. didnt grow properly, so i threw them away. the only thing I dont like about soil is that you have to buy new each time and with those 40L of soil went out the window.

now lets not get exited, the same thing might happen again. these plants now are from a collection of 4 diff seeds I had. I put 4 seeds of each 4 types and had 16 germinating. 9 are little plants now, 1 broke, and the rest are still germinating but they look as if there not going to open, even though i spray fresh water onto them every 2 days.

I will take care of these little babies, and start nutes earlier then usual. In the failure grow the plants turned yellow in the first 3 weeks and just died off.. the females that did survive were skinny and weak, so I decided it wouldnt be worth the electricity and everything to keep them. It was good because this way I reassembled the growroom and now its much better then before.

bvrian · #41 (**permalink**) Feb-03-2008, 20:52

hey whisky, whats the total amount of true CFL watts that you're running there?

Im planning on running a 12'x24'x40' grow box with 8 26 watt cfl's...so thats about 8x1600lumens which is about ~13000 lumens...maybe 1 or 2 plants with LST to fit in there. Is that enough lighting?

whisky · #42 (**permalink**) Feb-06-2008, 08:17

todays pics

whisky · #43 (**permalink**) Feb-12-2008, 14:05

Ive transplanted 5 plants, the other 4 are schedules to transplant on the weekend.

Theres some burn on the plants, I added a bunch of water into the tub and the nute solution has become less. I wont be adding any further nutes for 1-2 weeks.

I have some new seeds from a new weed going.

Everything is going slow but this grow might just make it! Ive put too much effort and money into this one, it shall not fail!

whisky · #44 (**permalink**) Feb-17-2008, 11:21

got the overnute problem a little more undercontrol

4 plants are underdevelopped mutants, I dont think theyll be growing anymore then that. If next week they are still the same, there going down.

to my surprise the other 5 are perfectly fine.. guess they were good seeds! I just might make it this time :P Out of 5 however many fems come out will stay veg until the new batch ( which is still germinating ) is ready to go flower, so theyll get big and strong

whisky · #45 (**permalink**) Feb-22-2008, 12:38

nice and green

were gona get there this time

whisky · #46 (**permalink**) Feb-25-2008, 16:04

everything is turning out fine, the plants are at perfect health and rapidly growing ( time for lst ).
removed a male.. sad that one had to be the male, its was the shortest and most compact one.

The remaining are 2 big ones and a very broad leaf midget (indica grrr *drool drool* ). One of the biggies is a girl ( photo ) and the other Im suspecting male but we shall see. The smaller one I dont have a clue about.

Planting new seeds as they germinate ( its taking them but theyve started to crack through the shell so theyll be planted this week ). Whatever females come out of the 2 plants will get Lsted along with the current and stay vegetative until the new batch are at 5 weeks or so.. then flowered all together.
Im aiming for some monsters ( weedensteins ).
So if everything goes well these gals will go to flower at about 10 weeks of age.

That wraps it up, enjoy the pics
