First Grow Journal - PC Grow Box

Starting over at this point is not an option as I'm moving accross the country in 6 weeks. I would be very happy if I got a 1/8th of dried bud from this little plant, shit, I'd consider it a success if I get a bowl!!!

Any finished bud is better than none !!! Take it as a great learning experience and after you move start a new one and go for alot more with the info you have gained from this grow !!

So my little plant is 23 days into flowering and coming along. The roots are again dark brown and looking slimey. However, you can see that there's new root growth that's white and very healthy.

I'm beginning to believe that the discoloration is partly (or totally) due to the brownish nute solution that I'm using - FloraNova Bloom Formula. I've already fushed the system for 4 days using hydro peroxide and water only, I'm wondering if I should add some hydro peroxide with every res change, which is about every 6 or 7 days.

All and all, I'm happy to see a tiny flower forming on top of the plant. This is my first grow of any kind and will consider it a success if I can obtain any smokable bud!!

Any feedback regarding the roots would be greatly appriciated! Also, opinions on yeild: the plant has been 12/12 for 23 days and is about 2" high. It must be harvested in 38 days as I'm moving accross the country. Do you think I could achieve a 1/8oz?

Hi All....some updates

Pic #1 is from 9/9/08 after I came home from a 9 days trip. The res was bone dry and shortly after I contracted serious root rot. The plant was under 12/12 for 10 days . I lost 2 of my 3 plants through letting the res dry out and root rot.

Pic #2 is from 9/20/08, this is my last surviving plant. Though severely stunted started showing vigourous signs of life. 21 days of 12/12

Pic #3 is from 9/22/08, only a few days later and nice flower formation.

Pic #4 was taken a few minutes ago, 9/25/08. Not only is the flower top developing nicely, the plant has gained some nice girth!

So here are the stats: 26 days into flowering, the plant is about 2" tall. It is being grown in a PC Case with approx 1sf of space and 7-8" of vertical height. How many pounds of bud do you think I will get?

at least 9000

In all seriousness, you'll be lucky to roll a joint with that. But, take it all in as a learning experience.

It's simple, there are three kinds of people on earth; stupid, smart, and wise.

The stupid ones never learn from their mistakes.
The smart ones learn from their own mistakes.
The truly wise learn from others mistakes.

So just be smart next time around!

P.s.-I am in no way calling you stupid.

thanks for all your help, diggity...I said a long time ago that i'll consider this first grow a success if I get a bowl out of it, but now, watching the fantastic progression of my little plant, i'm hoping to get a few g's

Hell yeah, JayDoe!

A small success is still a success!

Great news!! I came home from my 10 day vacation to find my little plant tripled in size!!

I'd love to hear some estimates on yield

Jay, like I said before don't get your hopes too high. That little one isn't gonna give you much.

I just chopped a 3 footer and only came away with a little over an ounce dried.

Granted it was shitty bagseed and my first grow. But I have some good genetics going right now (PPP x Sour Diesel) that is much more dense than the other crapola. Not to mention waaaaaaaaay frostier!!!

I'm estimating 4 grams tops from the little lady.

I would be really happy with 4 g's

Glad to hear that, Jay.

It's only 4g, but it's a "free" 4g.

The stuff I have curing is not good weed. But it's better than that Mexi-mierda(mexi-shit) that the seed came from. And it was motherfucking free.

16 days until harvest, if I can just keep her alive until then!!! Crank'in!!

Little plant is looking healthy!! I'm looking for any opinions on tric developement, you can see them pretty well in a few of the pics. This plant MUST be harvested in 13 days, do you think she'll be ready?!?

I'm afraid not, Jay. But you will have something smokeable and it will be all head high, so use it in social situations!

Hi All,

It looks like a few of the pistles are starting to turn color, please let me know what you think!! I have to chop her in 12 days.

I think I may get an 1/8 off of her yet!!

You're getting close to optimum time. Maybe 12 days will be enough.

How can you tell?

Well, I can't for certain. But it's getting close. You're gonna have to pull it when you have to pull it anyway, right?

If nothing else, this stuff will get you super high for 15-30 minutes a bowl. But you're not gonna get that long lasting stone unless you see those trichome heads start turning amber.
