any new update here? How are those new nutes doing?
Sorry i haven't been around in a few days, I've been totally stressed out with personal problems and haven't had the time or chance to take pix n posts...but i feel OK now...2mg Zanex prescription and marijuana do wonders for anxiety n stress LOL

Anyways... the nute dose i been using is 10-15-10. You can see the directions below.

It says use 7 drops per quart but i use 14 drops to make it 20-30-20 NPK Rating....and I've been using that for a lil over 2 weeks with NOT ONE PEOBLEM. I do flush out the soil once a week with Dasani or Poland Spring water to wash away the salts. Cuz i can see the salt buildup on the water catch trays below the pots. When the water evaporates away, i can see all the salts left behind. I can only imagine how much gets in the soil...so i flush weekly...2 times a day, once a week

The attachment is a pic of the actual nutes i use. 10-15-10....as i said...i use double dose. Its what i had laying around and is working VERY well for me...

Wow, its absolutly amazing how much these things take of when they are in this stage. Its been a week since my last post and as you can see by my pix,m the sex is told clearly.

Out of the 9 plants I started with 2 of them are male and 7 are female. I'm loving the fuckin ratio maaaan :shock:

I cant tell the sex of the 10th plant..the baby haze plant...its still a lil' too young. But i look under the magnifying glass and i can see 2 hairs. my my odds are hermy or female

Below are some pix of the grow. You can clearly see the sex...and the pix are fuckin amazing...:hump:

Im working on my grow calender still. Ive been super busy and you guys will def see it 2morrow

are you sure you're sexing those right? pics 1, 2, and 5 look like definate males to me. 3 and 4 look good and it looks to early to tell for the other 2 pics. and why the hell do you still have those males in there with the females. chop them down and make some oil before you get your females seeded.

males are coming out in 10 min LOL i wanted to wait til the last min so i could get the most oil out of them,..

and yes pix 1, 2 and 5 are pix of the 2 MALES PLANTS i have...

pix 3, 4 and 6
are pix of the SOME of the FEMALES i have...

I was saying I have 7 Female plants and 2 make plants...
I never gave a description to the pic numbers...cuz all pics can be clearly told what sex they are...

i should have labeled the pix better....and for that, I am sorry...
but yes...u were correct also...

Hey i've been watchin your grow cuz i was thinkin about startin my own. im new to this and was wonderin what u guys r talkin about when u r sayin chop down the males for oil? i kno the males dont grow bud but what do u use the oil for?

THC oils or honey oils...up to 80% -90% pure thc...

search youtube.com on how to make "hash oil" or "honey oil" and you can can LOADS of info...like how to make it and what solvents can be used to make oils...

usually u use trim, fan leaves and/or buds to make oils...

Hey Guys...

Its been a few days since my last post, i been fuckin busy as hell with 9 million things on my agenda, so i really haven't had time to take pix or post and update for all u ppl who are watching this thread closely...

but anyways lemme tell ya whats been goin on with the grow..

A few days ago i chopped out the 2 male plants that i had and did and Alcohol extraction on the chopped up plants. Its totally worked and i got myself about a gram or so of oil. But the bad news...i burned off the alcohol in a metal bread pan..and i didn't realize that the damn thing was Teflon coated...so when I scraped off the oil..the fuckin Teflon came off with it. so i had oil with lil flakes of metal and Teflon in it.:wall:
This was my first oil extraction, so i was bound to have some kinda problem. But oh well,...i threw the oil away. i got 7 more plants i can do an extraction too...and the next time ill use Pyrex.

As for the female plants...there doing AMAZING. Hairs are gettin super long. No decent buds have started forming yet...bit its almost there. I got this far already...so I know I'm gonna get some good bud out of it. I just don't kno how much I'm gonna get from 7 plant (cuz its my first indoor grow)...
But ill be sure to post some pix for u guys reaaaal sooon...

Thanx:hump:

Heeeey yoooooou Guuuuuys :hump:
I got a million things going on today, so lemme give ya a quick idea of whats been goin on with my AMAZING grow....

Well, after i removed the two male plants i had i was left with 8 females... _(7 bag seeds and one Haze seed I started from 12/12)
I went into my grow room and seen that "plant #4" turned out to be a hermy...damn, oh well. Its showing lil balls and some of them have hairs on it. but its a definite hermy. So i didn't wanna fuck up the rest of the plants when it drops pollen, so i yanked it out. No big deal. Im left with 7 budding female plants as of now...
But all the other plants look fuckin AMAZING. I can see the small buds starting to form, and the hairs on it are really long. these things look soo goooood i can eatem up lol

I been hittin' these with a steady dose of nutes (20-30-20) 6 days a week, and every Thursday i flush them out with water to eliminate salt buildup in the soil. And so far everything is working great...(as u can see in the pix)

Today i am transplanting the haze plant. Its getting to big for its 4" square pot, and the leaves are starting to dry out. once I transplant it, it should be fine and take off....

:leaf:Pic1: One of my female plants
:leaf:Pic2: Group shot
:leaf:Pic3, 4, 5: Pics of the buds that are starting to form
:leaf:Pic6: Haze Plant started @ 12/12

:idea: Leave me some comments and lemme know whatchya think...

Thanks man...
yea, i saved pollen from the males myself. Once i get a few grows established and under my belt I'm gonna get my hands into cross pollination...

I wish Obama would make this shit fuckin legal already. My unemployed ass would be raking in the doe... this shit interests me so much. Im amazed with the marijuana plant and the things you can do with it....

PS> Im postin new pix of the babies tomorrow. the buds are gettin big, and there starting to connect with each other up the stem.... niiiiiice :)

hey guys...

Its been a while since my last pic post, almost a month be be exact. I havnt posted in a while cuz I been very busy with personal matters and plus, if i take pics every few days u really cant see any progress. With a 3 week span between pic posts, you can see the progress nicely. My plants are doing very well. So far I'm almost into my 9th week of flowering and my plants look like they can use another 2.5 weeks or so. They ARE bag seeds, so i didnt know the exact flowering time...i have to patiently wait and play it as it goes...BUT.. im not gonna lie, yesterday for the first time, i picked off a bud, dried it out, and smoked it. i got a really nice high...and its not even done yet. Its gonna be AMAZING when these babies finish all the way.

itrs wierd. i got all the seeds from one source, and he said its all the seeds are from the same plant. but it still seems im working with 2 seperate strains. Like progress wise, some seem to be slower than others, and they got 2 different smells. Some smell REAAALLY skunky, and some of the others smell fruity...almost like a cucumber. Its a definate hybrid plant...so maybe some seeds took after mom and others took after dad...

But below are some pics i took last night on June 18, 2009...103 days in whole process start to finish and a days short of 9 weeks in flowering...

PLEASE tell me what you think...

How much LONGER, do you think I STILL HAVE?
Anyone who can help me with a time frame...then lemme know...


Thank You to the ppl who have helped and left a comment and ppl who still leave commets, ppl who are subscribed, and ppl help me out with my current questions...if it wasnt for you guys, idk how far I would have gotten my grow...
Thabks a mil guys....

You still got a good while to go. They haven't really even started to thicken up yet. They sure need more light it looks like or get them closer to it. Try to blast them with more if you can get some. Also looks like you might have a few seeds there huh?

I have a MASSIVE amount of light..but ill take ur word for it and ill add some more. And there is DEFINATLY no seeds in any of the buds. And the pix are plants that are the smallest. if you look at pic 5 from the last pix i posted, that bud is the "biggest" of the "smallest" if that makes any sence. But i will post new pics 2morrow or the followind day. ill take pix of each of the 8 plants that I have, and you can be the judge.

Until then, ill add more light...(if u think it needs it) maybe thats why they seem to be growing slower thna expected.
buyt Slabhead...there are NO SEEDS what so ever, that i have seen thrus far.

Let us know how they're doing. On the seeds that first pic looked like a few of the bracts had swollen some. No big deal since you had a few boys in the hood. How much longer you gonna go?
