My CFL Super.Silver.Haze Grow Journal

[greenleaftoker]

hey man if you are talking about the little hairs those are called pistils .. trichromes are the crystals thatform on the leaves and calxys..and yes my ssh plants did that also some of thehairs started turning pretty early..

My bad man... I stand corrected... thanks for letting me know though... appreciate it.

And yeah.. i got a bit worried, raised the lights and shit.. cuz i thought it was still a bit early.

I guess its a good sign then.
Thanks...

 

[greenleaftoker]

for a good one is about 6,0000,0000 crouzons.................

Lol.... Fuck crouzons are so hard to get a hold of man... but them ganja lights are worth it.

This plant is lookin sweet! I'll be checkin in most def cuz I plan on goin the CFL route...... You got 7 of them? I got a case of them bad boys wonderin what I should do with them ....... Guess my snake is outta luck now....hahahaha

Again- looks good! And don't forget to let us know the results of ur molasses flushes too.

Thanks for the support man...

I've already done one molasses flush, buds are starting to dense up a bit, i'll post up a few pics today again... got a paper due at 5 so kinda busy with that.

And yeah man... CFL's all the way dude, so far I seriously think this isnt a bad job for a bunch of CFL's. But we'll wait and see to that.

Goodluck with whatever you decide man... here if you need help with the set-up and shit.

That's a bet! I'm thinkin about grabbin four different kinds- Big Bud, B-52, White Rhino and some White Widow Fems........

I think I might take a few clones of the WW and use her for some breeding experiments- just for fun....... We'll see...... I def plan on at least seeding the lower buds with my males that way I don't have to spend the money on seeds anymore...........Smart?

Anyways, u got 7 lights on one plant. How do u have them set up around it exactly, cuz I can't really tell from ur pics....... Safe to assume that they are placed so that every part of ur baby is gettin light?

Oh and good deal with the grow log too + rep for that!

That grow is excellent Greenleaf cant wait to see how much it yields. I do have one question. You said you've used MG soil many on here say not to (i'm sure you know all the reasons why). I've just started my first grow (seeds 2nd day in germ) i used MG also with cfl's. ofcourse i did this before reading all about why not to use MG but a little to late for that now. So my question is , did you do anything special with the MG or am i worried for nothing. Once again excellent grow hope i have the same luck.

Thank you, appreciate the support man.

As far as the questions about MG.

The reason I picked MG first off was because Fox Farm wasnt available at the local home hardware... So I decided to go with the MG Potting Mix.
My plant was a clone, and was in it's 3rd week when I transferred it to a new pot (MG Soil), before that it was in some soil i'm not sure of.

The plant grew amazingly, all throughout... what I did realize was that the soil is FULL of mad nutes that need to be flushed out. So instead of watering the plant at a regular basis, I decided to flush it every week or so. When I say flush, I mean just enough water to get the plant draining.

And that method has worked wonders so far, never overwatered or under.

A few weeks back I took a clone from my plant... and placed it in MG potting mix, the next 2 weeks were of very little to no growth... after which I once fucked up and got impatient and pulled it out to check for roots, which had almost begun coming out. And now it's doin good... you can see pics on one of the previous pages.

As far as you growing from seeds man, I wouldn't recommend it in MG because seedlings are too young to handle nutes. But since it's been done and you don't wanna fuck around now... Just hope for the best... And if you've got a journal i'll make sure to watch and help where I can.

And once it's past its' seedling stage, MG'll work wonders... as long as you're watering it right.

Goodluck.. and sorry for the long reply... too many bong hits and here I am.

Thanks for the rep man.

I'll post up a setup pic right now.
But they're all basically set up around the plant, with 2 on top, and the rest in a circle around the plant at mid height.

Ok cool deal! Thanks........ I just went out and got a bunch of CFL's today......... Gunna start my germination tonight as well....... I think I'll have a total of 12,500 lumens loaded up in my closet....... I have a 4 footer flouro that puts out each buld 3050 lumens, plus I'll have the four CFL's around the sides......... Hopefully I wont get a lot of stretching like I normally do........ FYI- not growing anything spectacular- just some bag seeds that I saved from some decent bud........ figure I'll run those as my trials samples before I get into the heavy hitters......... I'd hate to spend all that money just to fuck them up ya know!?!?!

I've only had one truely successful grow, but that was outside......... I grew a bagseed and got almost 1.2 lbs off of it....... I was amazed--- Gramas dirt is amazing!

But, I think it's safer to do it indoors-

Whoaa.. that's insane 1.2lb's for a first grow. Lol I hope you're not expecting the same with a CFL lol or anything for that matter.

But definitely go ahead and place the lights on the sides, that will help the plant branch out from all sides, insted of just a few tops.

And it defintely makes sense to experiment before you go ahead and spend some money on it, I just got lucky cuz a friend of mine was growing SSH, so I grabbed a clone.

Goodluck with the grow, let me know if you have any questions.

Yea, no, I def don't expect to get that much out of a CFL grow...... I know it only grew like that because of where I had it...... I got full sun from sunrise until about7:30 at night....... Plus I topped her quite often just to keep her height down...and she still ended up gettin roughly 5 ft tall...... She was beautiful and a nice B-Day present for my brother -in-law........... 1/4 of ablunt and he was DONE!!!!!!

I would be happy with an Ounce from CFL....... I'm just tired of gettin shit for my money, rather have my own and know it's awesome, than put money in someone elses pocket for shit.......

Thanks again, and if I run into any issues, I will definitely be gettin in touch with you.........

Also, I got this stuff called Rich Earth...... I got a post about it, (17 views and no responses)
Anyways, it's a mineral rich humate soil which contains over 70 trace minerals. It claims that you can grow the strongest, healthiest plants and flowers and garden naturally without chemicals............http://www.richearth.net
It's supposed to increase germination rate as well..........
I was thinkin about using this to mix in with my soil as you only need like 5 tbsp per gallon of soil....... Plus I got about 7 sample bags with about a pound in each bag so I'd hate to let it go to waste............
maybe u could check that site out and let me know what you think about it......

Week 9 - Day 6:

** Day 20 Flowering **

A few more pics, tops coming up everywhere

The clones doing well, watered it today.. so it's a bit droopy.

I had a look at the site and the contents of that stuff... It sounds good, and I definitely wouldn't let it go to waste if i got pounds of that and if its actually as good as it sounds then definitely not. So I guess i'd suggest mixing a bit... not 5 tbsp unless your repotting... but just enough. And test it out, if it goes aright.. then continue, but i'd suggest just doing it on one seed... so you're not completely fucked if anythin does happen.

Right right! That's what I was thinkin.......... I got like 15 bagseeds, so I'll probably hook up 2 or 4 of them just to see what it does.......
It's all in the experimental stages right now

And again-MAN! Ur ladies are BEAUTIFUL!
Makes me anxious to get mine goin........now when you did the LST and tyin them down, how long did u wait b4 u did that and what (how) did u go about doin that exactly?

Thanks man... And the only LST that i've actually ever done on this plant was top it, which was just twice. And bend, not too much, just to the sides so that tops from underneath can come up.
I always thought the topping idea was a little skech even though results are good, I just didn't feel like cutting stems and shit.. and having lighting all around definitely made up for that.

The topping and fimming is exactly word for word how I learnt to do mine.. off this site: Topping and Fimming

And as for the bending, i just grabbed lace... pipe cleaning wire is good too but wasnt long enough , and tied the stem to the light stand.
But depending on how strong your stems are, proper bending requires a gentle hand and a strong heart in case you snap a few.

And the first time I did any type of leafing or pruning, was after the first 5 bladed leafs appeared.

Question: Are you still using only CFL's? Cuz if so they look pretty sweet!

Yeah man, all the way... and for the next grow too. It's the most cost/space efficient thing for me.

and Thanks .. how's your grow coming along?
