L.A Confidential - Day 22
IMG_2795.jpgIMG_2796.jpgIMG_2797.jpgIMG_2798.jpg
the first set of leaves really crispy and dying off , but only the first leaves the rest looks healthy to me . the L.A con is growing really slow but apparently that's a just what happens during veg with this strain. i am going to veg it for as long as it takes to harvest the critical jack as its an auto flower

Critical Jack - Day 23
the critical jack is is growing a lot faster and has really strong side growth it also had some sort of nutrient deficiency where the first leaves went yellow but this has not spread since i transplanted them and gave some nutes.

Thanks all for the good wishes. Hanging in there, comes and goes.

Our harvest was great/good. Some just did not turn out right, smell, taste are not there even after a while in the jar. Gives a buzz, so probably making oil or butter with it.

The great, well thats another story. I donated some of hers to a neighbor I know she use to take care of, hes on SSI older, and just likes a j now and then.
My brother inherited some of hers, just what i felt she would want, even tho she wouldn't care if i kept it all either, but he helped her alot, and we all share.

Have about 1.5z myself, curing is making it smell a little different each week, and taste is wonderful. Packed one with someone yesterday and he just looked at me and said woah after tasting.
Its smelling almost like a soapy, but not bad soapy, just a way to describe it. kush/deisil hybrid, and both traits are there.. skunky/fuely with a hint of fruity.....

And if smelling amazing and tasting great isnt enough, 2 - 3 hits for me and im good. And I dont mean buzzed, i mean like dazing off stoned. Not a couch lock, but more phsycadelic and a strong head followed by body high...
Not even exaggerating, some of the best i have ever smoked.

And the big monster kola from bagseed... Well, it tastes and smells just like regs. LMAO. Packs a bit more punch then your normal brick schwag tho. Its an interesting one for sure, would describe it as a spicy sativa, maybe a tad piney. Have a half z of that as well, so im stocked up for a bit. Toking and reading, absorbing info, and looking at bud porn....

Hello all.

10acjed - glad to hear the harvest turned out good and your enjoying some porn, erm I mean budd porn

Brettsog - I know what you mean, I used to make just basic hash cakes, by grating hash into melted choc and making corn flake cakes. Everytime, would wake up the next morning, and my eyes stung, and my brain felt, well heavy i guess, literally like a massive weight in my skull. Never put me off though, just not on a school day

And a couple of plant pics for fun

Did a final flush Monday of the girls that didn't get "hermanated". The colas are much tighter, firm and dense that last year, using CFL's. I will turn out the lights about Thursday and crop them around Sunday/Monday. The 250W HPS does a very good job and is barely noticed on the electric bill. Even though I had some of the same problems as last year, I can't help being pleased about the outcome. I belive the yield is much better than last year, but I won't know until I get a dry weight. I will also get a "fresh"DSCF0788.jpgDSCF0789.jpg cut weight before drying. I am posting the last photo of my lovely ladies while they prepare to fulfil their destiny.

You should be ok Dr, just be good with the drying curing. Even after all the abuse, mine still turned out fine when dried properly..
 
What kind of soil? Any nutes? How old are the plants?
Plagron light soil mix, no nuts, they sprouted out of the ground about 11 days ago, keept under 250w MH lamp 2ft away 18/6 cycle which has not been keept rigorously, temp is ~25C with lights on and ~20C when off, humidity between 40-55, usually under 50

Soil shouldn't be too strong, I changed to Biobizz light mix for my seedlings, which stopped any nute burn.

Never had a seedling under 250 HPS, but your distance and temps seem OK (anyone who has used 250 for seedling please put your 2 pence in)

Humidity is a little low for veg stage, maybe the cause of a little discomfort to the lady. Around 60 is better. Maybe a container of warm water placed in the grow room, which will evaporate and help a little. NOTE: ONLY PUT A CONTAINER OF WATER IN YOUR POWERED GROW ROOM IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT YOU CAN DO IT SAFELY AND NOT CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE. Sorry had to get my little health and safety disclaimer in there, my advice is advice only, and don't want any come backs. :)

I do notice that the crinkle leaves are almost mirror opposites, Maybe just genetics.

Hope this helps. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me anyone :)

^^ agree with Hettyman.. Was looking at the pics yesterday and honestly did not see anything to be concerned with, your soil looked wet but you may have just watered.

I would leave them be for a few and see if the problem gets worse, chances are you will forget about those leaves in a week...


LOL @ the disclaimer... Have the vision of Sparky's electrical sockets in christmas vacation inside a grow room......

Think i've squeezed too many plants in my 2x2 space, but they're holding together OK.

The 2 closest to harvest at the back (just finished week 5) these are the biggest that I have grown to date, and the firstt o flower under a HPS as oppsed to CFL. So pleased. They have stayed a little in deficiency the past couple of weeks. I'm trying to keep up with their needs, but not gonna risk burning them. The strongest, nicest tasting plant tat i've grown is the one in my avatar. Grown in 2 litre pot, only about 12" tall, pretty much one budd, under about 80w of CFL, 14g dry, and was also in slight def like these. I would really like to pull close to an Oz each from these, but we'll have to wait and see :-P

Then left to right, tiny Blu Myst in 250ml pot, Bigger blu myst in 7 litre Air Pot, Topped Strawberry Cough in 2litre pot (really struggling with this one), and then another tiny blue mystic in 500 ml pot.

Sorry to keep posting my plant pics on this thread, but really can't be bothered to start up a journal, too much uni work at hand
