    1 Week Old Mid Marijuana Plants First Grow

    Have been using the exact same Schultz liquid feed with good results...and also a total CFL grow! I'm now on my fourth round of plants, so I've learned a bit on keeping them green (on a budget). I use the Schultz for flowering now because it has a higher 'P' that is good in budding. For a...

    tried making hash, ran into this problem?

    I did an 'ice hash' method, and mine ended up green too...and it was some great stuff! Don't worry about color too much - its likely caused from the amount of plant matter than gets pulverized in the process. Once the liquid evaporates you should still have some hash that will curl your toes...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Hey Chief...Yeah, I was so happy when she started showing hairs! It was taking a while to see any change when I put her into flower, so I was hopeful - then finally she got with the program and did her thing. She's only two weeks in now, but doing the stretching thing like crazy. On a sad...

    I have a Northern Lights going now from seeds I traded with Chief... You think that will be what I'm looking for? It's still in veg for another week or two, then I'll hope for girl parts to show...:hump:

    Quick update...Fat Ass was chopped early last week and will be ready for a final dry weigh in very soon. She should be in the 2.5oz range I'm guessing... Shorty has finally finished her drowning and will be starting the drying process now. She won't be yielding much - probably under an ounce -...

    I don't really like those tiny scopes from Radio Shack, and they're much more expensive than the one I got on ebay. It's actually more of a jewelers loupe - a 40x lens about the size of a quarter, and even has an LED light. I paid less than $5 for it! It took just a few days to be shipped, and...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    I wouldn't expect them to finish in 48 days - that is really only in the most ideal conditions. Mine were not ready until at least 8 weeks the first time, and I let the smaller buds go as long as 10 weeks to be sure they were worth it. The second batch of AKs went 9 weeks, but they were even...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Quick update on Fat Ass and Shorty...both are doing well and growing some decent looking buds! Fat Ass is bulking up enough that the smaller colas are starting to drop due to their weight. I've had her main cola tied off for a while, since she had a habit of leaning too close to the lights -...

    WTF Are These? Did My Plant Herm? (Pics Inside)

    They are also referred to as 'false seed pods' since they look very much like the real thing after it has grown a fully developed seed. If you have a plant that has been pollinated, either accidentally or thru a little selective dabbing of pollen to produce a small amount of seeds, the mature...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Hey Chief...have not been able to sample it yet due to a crazy work schedule - but I will likely give it a go in a day or two. I was off on the guesstimate of dry weight though, she only gave an ounce and three quarters, rather than the two plus I was hoping for. Oh well, at least it should be...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    If I remember correctly, my first AKs gave about a third of the wet weight when dry...but I'm too lazy to go look it up in my grow notes. lol Based on that, I figured 2.5 or 2.6oz for a final tally on all of it. I was also able to save 39g of trimmings for making ice hash. I was also able to...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Just a quick update on the harvest of the remainder of the AK48...here are the small colas drying on their line, and a tray of the nuggets - total wet weight is 111g (in addition to the 114g from the two big colas cut earlier). Final for the plant is 225g wet, so I'm guessing on 2.5ozs, or so...

    It's gonna be several days for the AK smoke report...she isn't anywhere near dry yet. The big main colas were chopped on Friday, and they have been hanging since then but are still pretty far from dry enough to light up. I will be busy with work for the rest of the week, so that will keep my...

    Male plant Q.

    Grow him out and collect pollen for when you have a girl. I had 5 of 6 be males on my first grow, so I grew out the best male of each strain. Now I have pollen from three kinds that I can make seeds from any female. The very first time I tried, I got 27 seeds from pollinating just one big bud...

    Yeah BKB, I'm sure you aren't the only one who is surprised... You know they make those damn Reese's things as Halloween pumpkins too! I can't seem to avoid them, so I've given in and I eat them on any holiday they make them for. I'm kinda thinking there some untapped...

    pretty sure they are males, but I would like a second opinion.

    If you have a good strong, healthy looking female, I would make her a mother! It seems you have bad luck with your seeds, and clipping and rooting clones will give you a good supply of known female plants any time you need them. I've got clones from my first AK48 grow just going into their 2nd...

    No worries BKB...and I was making a play on the word 'bro' with the use of 'broad'! I don't really see that as a derogatory term like 'bitch' - I think of it more as a term meaning a 'one of the boys kinda gal'. I'm usually a broad...except when I'm being a bitch...LOL I will probably chop...

    Well BKB, it looked like there were about 25% amber trichs in the upper areas, so I chopped the two big colas Friday. I didn't want her to get too far into the amber range, and she drank very little water in the last day, so I think she's about done anyway. I've got my eye on the rest of the...
