GHS - BIG BANG grow journal

[grow4joe]

g4j whats the name of the head shop cause i dont want anything from them!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me man, i doubt you would ever get seeds from dis place man, its like hidden in the corner of another shop....but dey are sound people, i'm gunna pop in der and tell dem what the deal is....i need a new grinder so maybe dem gimme a discount..
Its a shame for dem because i was going to spend a lot of P's on seeds for my next grow... not now though...

hey joe - sorry i been too busy messin with my own thread to come check out yours - feel for you mate. Hope the others stay girls, reckon its your headshop rather than GHS themselves? is it the cheaper cost of these seeds that makes them less viable?
will be keeping them crossed for you.

Yo man, no worrys..
Hope you still got your fingers crossed cause i dont want no surprises when i pop in der!..

You gotta laugh these tings off man, s**t happens, and although it seems to happen to me a lot...thats just the way she blows....
Anyway, ive been doing alot of thinking...and its starting to hurt..
I'm going over to canada in the new year..round about april time now.. the fam was going to come here but i decided to go to dem.. its easier that way..
So i'm getting some Purple Wreck seeds -£45 for 6 Fems and some BLZ Bud seeds - £40 for 5 Fem seeds tomorow or sometime this week... i int skimpin on seeds this time round..
I wanted to get bubblegum from serious seeds but i couldnt afford dem both.. but next time there will be a place in my tent for her..and my wallet..
So i'm not sure what to do with these two girls, do I get rid..but i cant just chuck em'... or do i give em' to friends..no one i know grows, not indoors anyways.. but i need to get a decent yield out for the new year so i want to grow these bad ass mofo's i'm gettin in in the week.. HHmm such a predicament...

man i'm pretty stoned...its a sunday giggle.....

Day 15 and the start of week 3
A brighter day today, there is no 'sacks' on my definate female and my random one also doesn't have any new one's..
I picked off what i though was 'sacks' but when i squeezed it i could see a tiny hair pop out... hhhmmm.. should of left it..
Anyway, so good news so far, i'm still keeping my eye on the potential hermie just incase and my other lady.
Ive fed dem some nutes today as the pots felt light, upped the dosage for week 3..
The plant on the right in the picture is the one with the male sack problem, its flowering alot quicker than the one beside her..
the upclose pic is of the same plant..

I'm still thinking about what to do with these plants...
I need more than just two and soon will mosy probably be down to one, and that one aint flowering as quick..
I'm definatly getting my seeds in the week, just gotta decide whats best for me....
I'm not going to be able to grow the BB and the PW and the BLZ because buying the seeds is going to make me pretty skint for a while and i cant afford to veg dem in a seperate box and run my tent at the same time... decisions decisions....

I know what you mean about the Bubblegum - best smoke i ever got hold of whilst living in New Zealand, definately the one i'm going to fork out for next - the Big Bang was just a start off cheap kind of grow (plus the missus moaning about the escillating cost of it all!!)

Same here, love dat bubblegum
The missus don't mind, keeps me at home and out of trouble..
It wasn't suppose to be a cheap grow though...(the seeds i mean)
Heres what happened....
It started with a few at home before realising i cant order my seeds online...I tryed getting some good seeds online but my headshop's website was playing up so I went to the shop and they have a folder full of seed strains, no pics though... so i was like damn....which ones do i get again?? so i was standing there for ages and i kinda thought, s**t, i better buy something quick cause ive been standing here for a long time and i just see the Big Bang and £16 next to her name and was like, f**k it, some of dem please
When i got home i was buzzing that i got some seeds, but somewhat confused as how i got dem ones!
I had to look dem up to find out what i had bought! Wasn't dissapointed though..

 

[grow4joe]

Pleased to say that i have found no male pollen sacks anywhere on both plants..
They have grown alot since yesterday and i can see bud sites all over these babies.. Lets hope dey stay female..
The pistils are coming along well now and my other lady (the one on the left) is catching up real good..

I've been thinking about hanging my light vertical rather than horizontal.. if i do that, then i shouldn't have to get a few cfl's for the bottom buds and i can still keep it cool, if not cooler with my fans.. any ideas?

Thanks man,
No trichs just yet, what week were yours when they started to show?
Yea, the BB can go for atleast 11, maybe even 12 weeks.. but trust me, you will be very glad you waited..

 

[MRLD]

Props...those plants look nice...im thinking about getting some Big Bang myself....

I think 4-5 weeks they started showing, the main reason i picked them seeds was because of the 8-9 weeks flowering time so i would have some decent smoke ready for xmas, now its lookin new year before i will be able to smoke that shit

I went in for a close look just before lights out and thought i found some on a calyx...but when i looked through my loupe it wasn't!

Thats the thing with good ol' MJ, you can never really have a schedule of when you will harvest etc, you can never be to sure of what to expect from any strain... unless you opt for the same strain over and over again, then you will know..
The thing with all these new crosses is that most of them have been rushed without stabilising them properly, resulting in different phenotypes of the same plant... thats also another reason, after the PW and BLZ grow, i'm going to go with serious seeds bubblegum and then after that, probably their other 4 strains.. Chronic, Kali Mist, AK47 and White Russian. These are the only strains they produce because they dont f**k about with improving a strain and then bringing it out on another name, just keep the same name but better yields etc... and they win alot of awards for it too..

 

[Huh??]

I let this Big Bang go for 8 weeks then flushed for 1 week...

Thanks for stoppin by Huh?? and nice one for tha bud porn... looks good man,
What was your dry weight?
Does it smell like they say it smells?... Like green apples..
I swear man, mine smell like cream.. serious...they stunk my room out during veg but since ive put dem into flower they smell like cream..
Can't wait to smell dat s**t when the trichs come rolling in..

 

[Huh??]

I thought it smelled like some sort of candy while it was flowering.I would always rub my fingers on a leaf that had alot of trichomes on it just to get a smell of it.The girls don't like that too much but I couldn't help myself.
After dried and cured it does indeed smell and taste like green apples,I thought it was a pretty good strain.
I only ended up getting about 5 1/2 ounces.It's wasn't the Big Bangs fault though it was my first grow and I was using one 400w HPS.

Nice, i'm looking forward to it and i don't even like apples..
Speaking of tastes and smells i got hold of some bubble cheese the other day, that had a strange taste and smell, kinda like a minty/fruity smell with an undertone of cheese.. it was an ok smoke, wasn't as strong as i thought it was, but it was cut early.. still a nice bit of greenery..
I hear dat man, my first plant i done nothing but squeeze the buds then shove my fingers up my missus's nose with a massive grin on my face!
Is that 5 1/2 ozzies a total of all 5 plants?

 

[Huh??]

No,it was 9 cuttings that I had taken from my best plant and the other four went outdoors.Actually the mother went outdoors too.She got so effin big I knew there was no way I'd be able to keep her all winter so i threw her outside late in the season.She flowered for 6 weeks and got about 4 ounces of premature bud.
