First Grow: Diary of a "Growing" Obsession

a lil of both. I would like a good wake n bake, but also have that friend of mine who's real experienced. I've smoked buds he's grown and they usually blow most other stuff out of the water, so when he says something, I usually believe it, and he was telling me with the lack of a scope he would just go by hair color. I'll have some pics when I'm not real hungover and I can actually go into a room with that much light

I know what you mean, I don't usually like a real heavy high cuz I like to still get things done. Its never the same looking at a pic as it is in person, so of course use your own judgement. I'll wait for a closer pic, maybe i'm wrong. have fun with that hangover. lol.

here's some pics, not sure if it compresses them when I upload them because before I upload the actual size of the file on my computer is enormous and has tons of detail on the trichs.

in the flowering room, on the left is a clone of mine and on the right is a sage, been vegging longer than all the others.

in the veg box, there's a pic of a funny mutant blue dream with a two fingered fan leaf. the other clone of my plant has also come out funny, but still good looking, even with a one fingered fan leaf:-P

I really like the pheno of the sage in the veg box with the really fat leaves and bushy growth, stands out from the rest, which I think are almost all sage

Nice looking babies! I'd give your girl another 2 weeks. Just my opinion. I remember reading something a while back that said to wait till 50-75% of the hairs turn brown if that was how you were gonna decide when she's ready. I look forward to hearing about how she smokes up, of course your own stuff always seems way better because it means more to you :D

In my opinion you can tell/feel by yourself when it is ready. It's weird but I can almost feel my plant telling me I am just about ready, don't cut me yet.

yeah, I'm thinking somewhere in the two weeks area, but I'm waiting for that special glow from her. I'm wondering if these might be some valuable genetics for a stealth grow, if she wasn't vegged as long and wasn't topped, she wouldn't be nearly as huge and under proper lighting/soil/nutes her whole life would probably yield a good amount, but the weird thing is that even now she doesn't smell, it kinda weirds me out but I still haven't gotten a carbon filter set up so it's good for me, being on an "I don't care but don't let me see it" kinda deal.

Your large female does't smell? My large female did't either for some reason. It might be the strain. The 2 plants i have going now smell a lot better, they started to smell at a couple weeks old. The box kinda smells like alcohol from my homemade co2 but i can still smell my babies :D.. ooo and hps ftw :D :D


p.s.
Buds are looking dank. :joint:

same here! the Sage girls I have smell after a week of veg!
really interested in homemade co2, I've heard it can kill you if you're not careful, but density is one of the big things I look for in top grade bud for myself. how do you generate it?

Could kill me. Freaking me out. Just made a 2nd bottle i guess ill throw the first one out :D.. Im using water+yeast+sugar. Shake it up in a bottle with a hole in the top and it will spurt out co2.

I've not had an issue with my girls putting out that real strong smell either, but it could be covered up by my stanky garage. lol. I definitely get a good smell if I brush against the plants, which is normal for many plants as it releases a small amount of the oils (think like herbs you cook with). I'm pretty sure your safe on the co2. would take a good amount contained in a small space and you would have to be exposed to it for a bit before it would kill you. you'd probably get lightheaded first. lol.

I think maybe I overstated the "could kill you" thing, that probably applies to large systems

oh yeah, I can almost never smell anything but a plant smell off my girl, but I few times when trying to smell it I almost coulda sworn I smelled poop...

here's a billion pictures, been goin' crazy with LST on the vegging clone of my big girl, saw that the clone had three branches that looked like in flowering they're become colas, decided since the clone looked so crazy I should make it crazier. In the flowering room pics where there's two medium plants and a seedling, the sage is on the right, on the left is a clone of my big girl, and the seedling is blue dream. tried to get some good budshots for everyone too.

I'm so excited about the LSTed clone! it'll be cool to see what my first plant would have been like under HPS for her entire flowering period, with good nutes and soil.

by the way, the veg box has 6 26watt 6500k cfls, so 156 watts and a fan on the wall.

That plant is huge!. Awesome though, still looks healthy has shit. What have you been feeding her? And how much?

thanks man! in flowering it's been general hydro maxi-bloom, with some bud candy, but possibly not often enough. usually about 3/4 tbs per gallon. in veg it's just fox farm grow big

edit-for my own personal reference, the sage and clone are 2 weeks flowering today. Just had to write that somewhere so I don't have to go back in my thread looking for when I put them in

:D.. You are definitely feeding her right. Buds looking great. Cant wait to see bud like that, seeing how my first try was a fail pretty much. Because of the 18gal bin i dont think ill have to deal with deficiencies this time around.
