LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

[AltarNation]

Fresh growth brah! When mine go through a good flowering spurt I notice some of the fresh flowers and calyxes are really light green/yellowish before they mature a bit in the light. I get the hermie jitters sometimes too, but with my good genetics at least, I haven't had a single nanner yet

Alright that is definitely reassuring man... thank you for that. Here, take a look at the pictures and see if you still feel the same:

And man do I hope you're right because these fuckers are PLUMPING UP. BIG time. Wish I could say my genetics were sound but the thing is i don't know which clones survived and ended up being these plants, so it's not impossible for it to be the same genes as the one that produced my 5 fem-seed babies at the end when I re-vegged her... a little scared! But I think I have time to let them develop and find out either way, because I still can't tell what the fuck I am looking at even with the macro shots

new growth foxtails most likely from what i have been told this means you are hitting the nail on the head so to speak, so DONT chop. they arent hermi

 

[AltarNation]

That's two for non-hermi, yay...

They have been bulking up so much I almost refuse to believe they could be suffering!

Speaking of which I will go take some new shots of the whole buds after I calm my nerves on this suspicion... there is a front-row monster who has just grown out of control... must have been the original head cola, though I couldn't tell for a damn now that they're so heavily scrogged.

 

[polyarcturus]

yeah i had the same thing happen a 2 weeks ago i was like wtf new growth? how much bigger can they get? and their already swoll? so i posted just like you to confirm and then i chopped 2 weeks later everything was fine.

 

[AltarNation]

Sweet deal.

I wish I made a thread for all my posts, lol. I think I will organize them into one thread so I (and everyone else) can see the increases more obviously...

 

[jsamuel24]

Doesnt look like something to worry about IMO either. Not with the pistols, but I am a newbie to this still so who knows, maybe I am dead wrong lol.

 

[polyarcturus]

but i do currently have a problem maybe you guys can help me come to a decision, i have a hermi its in it own container, the prob is its showed all male growth till i snapped the stem and put it in the container,(about 10-15 degrees colder than grow room) not its got mostly male flowers but some female flowers just started. i was gonna use it to breed as it was the perfect male (till this happened) now i am unsure if a male can hermie i was tolf they cant but this plant never had any stress when it showed male first and didnt develop female flowers till after i stressed the fuck out of it? what should i do with this guy? toss him? breed him? what?

 

[AltarNation]

Well I value y'allz opinions more than the rest of the site, so I am pretty damn reassured, lol. Still if anyone else here wants to chime in I am all ears of course.

Poly, as far as I've heard males can indeed hermi... I'd be worried about it passing on that genetic vulnerability to it's offspring...but I don't breed so I have no idea what I'm talkin bout, lol... hopefully someone else can help ya

i would almost be happy for a male herm as i could use some more male seeds. im on a witch hunt in 4 generations in and im about to have some pure strains soon. if you guy want samples i will geocahing my seeds around the midwest in a few months if opur in the area i have a thread on it i will be posting to coordinates there later... but thats conversation for later

If you end up on the west coast for some reason let me know, I would sample them. I am going to be working on genetics in the future as well, but not for at least 2 more grow cycles.

how bigs your grow? finding males is no joke. lot of plants to go thru, lots of seeds instead of clones so slower growth too. but its mad fun to breed

trust me my seeds will be out west soon enough.

You may want to look into it more, but you may have the elusive "male-hermie" given the order of sex appearance. Supposedly they are badass for breeding. Though I'm not a breeder yet, so look around to be sure.

geocaching seeds is an ingenious idea man. Wish i was in the area! lol

Its not big since I stay SB420 compliant. But I am only growing for myself right now. I have a friend who has a 99 plant script, so I am going to be working on genetics in the future for seeding there. That and because I am loving growing now and I want to make some special seeds for me and what not.

Me and my buddy were talking about doing that with some old seeds. Figured a seed, plus some planting instructions could result in fun for everyone involved.

Last I checked, didn't the Cali supreme court overturn SB420? I thought limits were based on medical need now. Also, that 99 plant scrip is a scam. Unless his doctor plans on taking the stand and explaining why he needs 99 plants for his bad back (In a medically convincing way.), he just paid for something that gives him a false sense of security.

Heh, if you do that KP, make sure to geocashe 1 county east, 7 counties south, 1 county east of ya lol!

 

[polyarcturus]

i figure since the legality of seed is in? i could place them outside of anyones reach but the dedicated, plus it would be agreat way to get testers and advertise my product. but quite getting me hyped up im still a ways away. but all my breeding projects are done in large grow rooms my personal grow is small but i can fit whatever i can in there as im not compliant lol. so im always picking really good males and well i only breed with my favorite females. my next breeds will be some pure strains and that when im gonna really start taking off

 

[AltarNation]

Leaving instructions too! I love it! LOL. It's a great idea!


Here are some more shots... I'm going to spend some time today assembling a grow thread with all the pics I've uploaded so far from this batch. Then I can stop plastering them all over this thread.. Though I'm sure it's good to see RESULTS!! Shit, the crystal coverage alone is stunning with these PAR grows! And they bulk up nicely too! haha.



Okay, I'll stop dropping pics here til harvest probably... gonna start a separate thread for it from now on, lol. But I will still drop some harvest pics when the time comes, just to silence the naysayers

when i travel out west i let you guy know the locations in arizona and grand canyon if your willing to drive, i might be up in Washington too.
