Monkee's Grow - Stealth, From Seed 12/12, CFL

what does it mean when the leaves r starting to get yellow spots on them?

Click to expand...

depends, if its to early in the life cyle it usually means a nute problem

if its very close to the end the plant is using all of its nitrogen to make a larger bud... and the leaves turn yellow because its taking it from them

Any Monkee i figure coffee grounds is an organic N based fert?

Trying to track down individual organic parts for the NPK's, do coffee grounds work well?

Would it really do any good this late in the game, when the plant naturally draws its N from the leaves and redirects them into the buds, AFAIK and have read, its 100% natural, does this increase potency after a certain point?

yeah coffee grounds are organic based N fert

i dont know about the NPK of them but its suppose to be good for N

I figure it doesn't effect the taste, so adding a small amount can have 2 possiblities... it either gives it a bit more N it needs for the buds and i get an extra bit of growth... or it doesn't do anything

either way its been to use then not to

the bud seems to grow by the hour since i added it, really big

How much per gallon? And any specific type to look for, arabaca? etc, sorry to piggy back this about the Coffee lol.

I really want to get down to a 100% organic diet for them, just seems more natural to me, less synethesized chem's, and overall easier for them to uptake, etc. But honestly never been sure if i've even smoked organics grown.

Buds growing by the hr....is this due to the N, or it just packing on weight in the last <wk, as you did say your harvesting at day 70, and today is 65. As i've read they pack on a good weight the last week, so just wondering if it was that or the N.

its realyl early only a week an a day.that sucks!

i used coffee i stole from my roommate so no idea the kind, and i added a tablespoon into the normal feeding lol

i think the plants just in its last stage of its life and thats why the buds are growing so fast... but then again the problem with 12/12 from seed is that there is no "you should look to harvest week 8" timeline

no ones really made a timeline for what to expect... i used SeeMoreBuds book as a general idea of when i should pick but seriously when youre not seeing results like his then its so hard to try and keep up where you think you are in comparison

but the leaves are yellowing, buds are growing big, and it overall looks like its coming to an end

Day 66



the plant looks amazing and smells a bit like coffee haha

the one thats drying smells a lot like wet grass rather then weed, but i hear the true smell comes out when they are curing

all and all the smell from these plants was very minor, could be the genetics from bc seed king but im not complaining... id rate it about a 3 out of 10 all together

you can smell it if you touch the plant then smell your fingers, hoping for the next run ill do something that has a bit more smell lol, cause ill have a proper filter then

its a shame this shit ain't legal cause im sitting on like 20 seeds i have no use for anymore

i think for the next grow ill start with 6 plants and trim it to 4 hopefully... 2 cheese fem, 2 northern lights, 1 mango, 1 white widow again

something like that

I May Have Missed It But Has A Trich' Been Scoped.??? Db.~tlb!

no way to scope it, going on pure faith lol

Thats Cool. Hairs Look A Bit On The White Side... Jmt's Love The Grow Tho.!!! Anytime Db.~tlb!

its white widow lol

this is the exact kind of post i wanted for a quick 12/12 harvest thank you sooo much monkee!

if you want to get a quick harvest expect between 65-80 days, ive even heard 90

its starting to look that 70 days might have been premature... might be 75?? i dunno yet

errrrr, not quite true... all depends on the strain. the strain i am growing spends 55 days under flower.

yeah under flower... but 12/12 from seed doesn't put it into flower on day 1

so een if it vegs short like 5-15 days... 55 days would put it at around 60-70 days

what strain is it?

fuck if i know

but Mango is one that flowers short like that.

and for the record, with veg time from seed this plant took 70 days to hit maturity. are you really getting anything but smaller yield from going 12/12 from the get go?

im not getting smaller yeild then someone else in the same situation

next grow im going hps and small veg time, i did this grow to prove that it is a viable option to do... tons of people are in situations where it works for them

er, don't take this wrong, i am just talking with you....

i am growing under CFL in a really small area and you are not getting the yield i am... you want to try that first line again?

again, no disrespect, you results are FAR better than i would have expected.

yeah i agree with you, but im not getting small yeilds thats what i was saying

also i think people under estimate how tall these plants are... without the constant problems of this grow i think i coulda had more

plus the first plant wasn't a good respresetation of the grow, the second one is 3 times larger then it...

also on a side note im not posting anything today haha, to lazy, but its looking for my harvest on the 70th day... debating to keep it under 24 hour dark before or not lol

again this grow was a temporary thing between 2 grows, the one before this was with a friend using hps and the one after should be around christmas and look totally different

just wanted to give people an alternative view on it all, and i realized i fucked up a lot more then i shoulda, one thing you dont realize is how much more you have to watch the plants with 12/12 from seed, they dont take nutes like normal plants

you know, you may be right.... i may be assuming size... how about when you do take a pic again you put a Bic lighter or something most stoners recognize in the pic for scale?
