oh ya forgot about temps i was thinkin maby just 3 26 watters for between each plant under neath. and be sure to flush with like 1/4 nutes or the plant will yellow out reall quick do to having no nutes at all. thats just the only thing i could think of to help stop the leaf prob, it might slow growth for a half week or so bu i think she will rocover after a flush

Hey thanks MC, I may go ahead and see if I can add those 3 lights under neath, I bet that really would help alot with the undergrowth that's getting NO light! lol

Ok so I flushed the SC with 2 gallons of reg water, then after that with 1 tsp of epsom salt to 1 gallon of water, then for the 4th gallon I used 1/8 strength veg nutes, 1/8 strength bloom nutes and 1 tsp epsom salt..... This was all done on sunday and man I gotta tell you, she is looking SO much better! It's unreal! No more leaf problems at all. I just clipped any crispyness, or non-green leaves off after the flush and have been watching and nothing has come back. The flush helped alot! I think I had a bit of a salt build up and thats what was causing the problem. No worries anymore tho, she's lookin way happier!

Thanks to everyone for all the help!

glad to here shes all better now!

well thats some good news, now she can get back to concentrating on bud production

well that could be a number of things.but i would try a lil it of epson salt..1 teaspoon per gal..used for mag.cal...deficency

Already solved the problem a bit ago but thanks anyways.

Just another pic update for all to enjoy..... Everything's goin as planned, all the plants are lookin good!

I am contemplating cutting down the schwag-bagseed and drying it just because I am sick of spending money on medicin man! Luckily I won't have to again after this harvest cuz I got others that are ready to go in as soon as these come out...

But I mean, it is only schwag-bagseed... And I have about 50 seeds and 11 clones so I'm not worried about plants. AND there are about 20 dispensary's within 25 miles of my house, all of which sell TONS of different strains of clones! So that aspect is pretty much a non-issue. The other 2 plants look just phenominal, there are trich's out the ASS on my Strawberry Cough and Lacy. But not so much on this schwag-bagseed, you can definitely see trich's, just not even 1/10th of the amount the other 2 girls have.. The reason I grew these seeds in the first place is just to see what can happen when growing a mexican brick schwag seed. And I've pretty much found out... Well, for the most part anyways.

So really, I guess I'm asking what do YOU guys think? Should I chop the schwag plant so I can get another DANK plant going right now? Or dop you think I should still give the schwag plant more time?

Pix 1&2 are of the schwag-bagseed. Been in 12/12 since March 2nd. This is the one I'm thinkin bout cutting down so I can put a more potent plant in it's position. What do you think?

Pix 3&4 are of Lacy!

Pix 5,6,7 are the strawberry cough.

Let the schwag go and did you save any weed from the bag you got the seeds? i want to do this one day buy a bag find a seed save the weed grow the seed and compare lol. but that schwag may be better than it looks never know. why start it if you aint gonna finish it?

well hooked if your outta cash and need some smoke bad i would just take her down and replace with a known strain clone or seed. i harvested my purple indica more at about 25 days of flower and the buds are actualy decent and i made alot of hash, not as potent but it works. oh and i also did this do to a hermie that wouldnt stop herming.

on another note the plants are lookin great, glad to hear u got your perpetual figured out so theris no more buyin weed.

lol, hey thanks for the input MC! I think I am going to go ahead and flush the bagseed for a week or so and then give her the chop. I already cut a small bud off it and it got me ripped..... So It'll do the trick untill the REAL harvest comes. And I mean it's just a swag seed, I could have thousands of those if I wanted! lol, so it's really not to big of a deal. I'd rather have a known strain of something that is about 10X as potent anyways! It was just an expierment, I'm glad I did it, good expierence just to watch a schwag seed grow next to some super dank!.. lol, SO excited to not have to buy my medicin anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and just thought I'd share this little tid bit with you guys. But I hit up a dispensary on friday, and ended up getting:
~an OZ of "Wonderberry Tincture" $40 (awesome for adding to your coffee in the morning! haha)
~Also got a G of some "Moca Haze" $15 (actually kinda did have a slight coffee hint to the taste)
~And a G of what they called "Super Purps" $15 (This stuff smelled and tasted like pur, 100% fruity pebbles. You know the cerial, yea, a child could have smelled this weed and would have guessed that it is some sort of fruity pebbles! It really honestly is the best *TASTING* not the best of the best that I've smoked, but most difinitely the best tasting weed I have ever smoked hands down! I'm going to see if they're selling "Super Purps" clones after I get off work.

sounds good hooked. the super purp sounds good, but alot of true purp strains i heard are a bit harder to grow. also was it you i was talkin about you ever tryin true purp bud if so then u have now congrats and my shishkaberry sems to have a similer smell of fruit but its more like a bag of unopend skittles that have melted from the heat and then opin it and a rush of fruity skittles hits you thats how it is every time i go check on my babies

Nah man, I didn't save any of the weed that the seeds came from..... I don't have enough will power to do that! haha. That is a cool idea tho! It'd be really cool to see if you could keep a bud for that long! Be like I bought this bud, and grew this other bud from it! Haha, that'd be sweet to compare!

Yea man it was me that had never smoked a true purp strain. And I gotta tell you, it was everything I hoped for and more! lol, seriously the greatest smelling bud I have ever smelled before! It was awesome! And they didn't have any clones of it there, they have like 15 different strains of clones, and no purps! I was sad... oh well tho... I wish I could smell your Sishka plants! lol, my Strawberry C is starting to smell gooooooood!

Well boys I think what I've decided is since there are 2 schwag plants in that 1 pot. I am going to cut down just 1, the one with the slightly further along buds, and dry that one to smoke. And that will definitely hold me over untill I harvest the rest. That way I can let one schwag plant finish just to see what it looks like in the end.

I'm just so sick of spending money on my medicin, so one of the schwag plants is comin down next week! And I'm excited! lol

Well I did some work in the veg room last night, it's getting a bit full. Here are some pix.

And MC-P, The last pic on here, I've been letting that plant grow out for a bit before taking this pic, it's a familiar look to you isn't it?...

nice desicion hooked. glad u liked that purp u had. also yes that last pic does look like a plant i had from my last grow i think, it was the ak x powerplant clones. those 2 main stalks are great for lst just tie one on each direction and u got your self a fat plant

No internet for a minute there. Lookin cool bro. Glad she's feelin better. I put 1/4 tsp epson every feeding. You can add Pro Tect and some ensigms as well that are hard to over do. 1/2 tsp Pro Tekt per gallon every water. That little bit of soil you added won't hurt either. Keep up the good work.

Well boys, I'm currently just waiting for the soil to dry out a little bit more then I'm chopping down 1 of the schwag plants, and I'll probably transplant the other into a smaller container for another week and a half just so I can give her a proper flush, then the chop.

My Strawberry Cough is finishing up quite a bit sooner than I had expected! So I'm going to start flushing her as well and chop in 2 weeks from today.

Lacy has still got another 2 weeks I'd guess before I start to flush her, so about another month, probably a bit less and I'll be chopping her.

My veg room is just rediculously full right now, and I need to get some plants out of there and up into flower. I have rootbound plants, severely rootbound, but not enough room to be able to transplant into a bigger pot. Not untill I chop a few down anyways...

Alright, so pix.....

The first is of a pick-up I made at a local dispensary. It's actually right around the corner from where I live, so that's nice.
~There would be some 'medicated' chapstick... I've never seen a chapstick that on the label is says "Keep out of reach of childern" haha
~Also a OZ bottle of that Wonderberry Tincture (Great in your morning coffee!)
~And an 8th of some Tangerine Kush. It seriously tasts like you just bit into an orange peel, fucking delicious! lol

Next pic is of the schwag I'm about to chop. The pic was taken about a week ago.

and the last pix are of my DIY dry box. And a couple samplers testing out the dry box. Bolted a 50 CFM bathroom fan on the inside of it to hopefull dry out the buds fast, but not to fast. I'm thinkin it'll probably take about a week to dry out in this, could be wrong though. Only one way to find out!

man that tangerine kush looks fuckin good. enjoy it and that tincure. plant is fillin out very nicely to your doin a great job and it will pay off greatly in the end. keep up the good work. also i like that little dry box u got.

I agree that kush does look divine!
The box me likey GJ
And that stuff you add it to your coffee and it gets you high? J/W never seen it b4 i dont get all the luxories you cali boys get lol

Thanks MC! Yea the Tange was phenominal. Got 1 bowl left of it and that's the 'after work bowl' definitely some of the best I've had. Which is suprising considering most of the dispensarys around here carry very, VERY shitty medicine!

Yea that stuff is called Tincture. It's basically like liquid THC. lol, and yea, I carry it on me. You can put a dropper under your tounge and it'll get you high. But it's effects are 'elevated' I guess you would say when you put it in something warm. So add a dropper full to your hot tea, or morning coffee, whatever really! lol, I was playing beerpong last weekend and put a few drops into each cup of beer just to make the game more interesting! lol, it's sweet to have, I do, as always though, prefer smoking...

lol, And no cali boy here bud, I'm a CO mountain man! haha, it's nice to be able to walk into an actual business tho and pick from 25 different strains, 15 different tinctures, an un-imagionable amount of edibles from candy bars, to cookies, to trail mix, to suckers, and many many different medicated drinks. They also have like 20 dif strains of clones. I'm thinkin about pickin up a G13 clone. Just heard alot of good stuff about that strain. We'll see I guess.


Thanks for stopin by guys!

Like the sounds of this Tincure. Reminds me of my homie. He gets up in the morning,puts butter made from hash on some toast. Than sprinkles 4 grams of hash into his coffee. Only smoked hash,including with breakfast. Than on through his day as best as you can imagine it,which is probably pretty close to reality. He was my weed dealer back in the day. Pretty cool guy actually. Baught me a 2LB digital scale for me at Christmas. Anyway. If you can't tell already I just smoked a grip,and am now off over here. So anyway,Tincure sounds off the hook. Lol. Peace.

^^Yea dog, Tincture is dope! You can get that shit onto an airplain and be flyin REALLY high if ya feelin me! ^^

So I gotta quick question for you guys. I've been flushing out one of the schwag plants and it's coming down tomorrow. The other one I haven't technically 'flushed' as in I haven't run 3 or 4 gallons of just straight water through the soil. But I have been giving it ONLY water for as as long as the other schwag that did get the actual 'flush'.

Alright so my question is: Do you think I NEED to flush the other schwag plant, as in run 3-4 gallons of straight water through the pot? Or do you think that just watering with straight water for the last 2 weeks should be fine, and I can chop with the other plant?

Alright now question #2: I've read a bit about harvesting and when some people like to do it, and others don't. Some people like to wait untill the soil is completely died out, like waiting untill the plant is needing a watering, and THEN chopping it down. And others don't even pay attention to how 'wet' or 'dry' the soil is when they harvest... So my question to you guys is: when your about to harvest do you let the soil dry out before so? Or just keep doin what you've been doin and when you feel like it, pull the chop?

Thanks for any and all input guys. Just tryin to figure out exactly how I want to do this to get the 'best' results in the end.

Alright g. I was told a proper flush is 2 to 3 times the medium. You adding any molasses to your water at the end to give her some sugars and sweeten her up? An old man tought me to put a ring of thick black molasses around the girl,and rinse heavily through it,starting 3 weeks before harvest and repeat. And I also heard of killing the lights for the last 24 to 48 hours. And same on soil. Heard let it dry out like you said. I am like you. Just a bunch of shit I heard! Lol. So let me know what you do and how it works. And than I'll have some more shit I heard. I don't know what I'm gonna do yet. Figure I'll play it by ear. We'll see. Good luck with whatever you do.
