Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

how did your test sample smoke? i think you said already but how was the taste and smell?

Thats a bummer your cloning is not going as well as your growing. Cloning is one thing I seem to have pretty wired. And i dont use a heating pad, just a humidity dome (of sorts) and one 15w 6500k cfl. If I'm diligant and remember to spray them 2-3 times a day I get close to a 90% hit rate. The only thing that annoys me about clones is some will root in 7-9 days and have new growth in 14 days ... others take 3 weeks just to grow some roots.

Get your heat probs sorted out Hum and you'll be fine. Still looks to be a couple there that may take yet.

Thanks jomal for the info helps tremendously, I will be visiting your journal shortly.


It wasn't really a test sample, that's coming up in a couple more weeks but it smoked ok for it's maturity, the smell and taste wasn't all that great but the high was nice and is a lazy couch potato high witch I don't really care for, I'm hoping the bubblegum will be more energetic..


Thanks ozone, I went ahead and turned off the heat completely except for the heating pad, its supposed to speed up the progress, however if non take root I'm going to give up on it for awhile and start the bubblegum...


Until Next Time!

dude, i totally feel for you in respect to cloning. I've tried cloning a few times now and still no success. I think it's the fact that I have a shitty sample of cloning gel from BC.

and yeah, I'm not gonna smoke my entire plant...that would just be sad, but i basically only clipped a bunch of undersized, undeveloping buds like you off the bottom. It's funny to think how high you can get off little tiny buds.

I noticed something on my plant, I was wondering if you have had the same experience. After I cut off the small buds, all of a sudden my bigger buds are budding even more now. Some of my buds look like they're developing another bud on top of it.

thats good, because the supply of nutrients to those clipped buds are now going to the others and those others will be the focus for growth.

Humboldt, I gotta say... I've really enjoyed reading your threads. Seriously.

As far as the cloning, I don't really get it. I can count the number of clones I've lost on one hand (or half a hand, rather), and I've never used any sort of rooting compound. Wish I could help.

Bro i bet ur buds are gonna be sweet as pussy, i CANT WAIT TO STAR GROWING AGAIN, already got my seeds home, but i'm waitin till i get back from the states, and move to a new place i rented, i agree with u best drug movie of all times is Fear and loathing in las vegas, in fact is my favorite movie, i also have the book and the criterion collection dvd, its great.

Hey H.
I got your pm I just havent had any time to respond. I woke up a few days ago with a real bad flu. I guess thats what happens when you play poker all night.

here these are gonna be my future babies, i got them sent from spain to the states, then here, they are dutch passion blueberry and hempstar (now known as brainstorm)
I got Tony babysitting for me

Afternoon Humbolt.
As I see things are still going really well for you.

I was looking at your 'section' on the clones. What is the humidity in your box?
I had 4 clones/cuttings on the go the other month, I had to go away through work for the weekend and the electricity cut off!! The clones/cuttings went in a bad way. The moisture in the box helped but with some tlc and green thumbs they came back around. Stick at it they are fighters!!

Couple things. if you didnt, fimm or top, then the main cola should form first and be the most potent and your best bud. However if you did top or fim, you should have multiple colas. As for top first. thats budding, main middle seems logical.

As for trimming, any plants when younger, if you snip, "suckers" off, lower branches off main stem, those suckers when snipped, obviously does not interrupt the "main flow" of nutes...therefore middle main should be the focus first...

That is my logical explanation...

From your pics, your buds look like their poppin evenly on this plant in the tub, looks good.

As for that circle, doesnt look like a seed, but I have no basis for comparison.....

Humboldt said:

Yeah I noticed a big difference but not right away, after some days I noticed the top cola forming before all, I thought the buds grew bottom to top or sporadically throughout the plant but the very top cola is forming first and the rest is taking it's time filling in.. I'm wondering if this is normal and if the rest of the stem will actually fill in, I may end up with chunks of bud.



That's the point PIMP however, it could stall your flowering process as well, It could very well depend on the plant/strain but I think it puts them into a bit of shock and may take time to recover, if you are not in a hurry then I'm thinking this is ok but I may be wrong, I may find out later that I should of left it alone.



Thanks botanist for visiting, I'm sure I will get the cloning down some .. one day, may not be this trip, perhaps the next....



Sweeter than that my friend, that's funny I was recently talking to a friend about marijuana vs girls, I came to a conclusion, If I had a choice between being able to grow pot the rest of my life or not being able to have sex, I chose pot, reason being is I can always masturbate but not always able to grow pot...

Sorry ladies for the spurt of the He' He' Talk!



How many seeds you got there and how much did they cost ya? I want to be able to grow multiple strains one day, unfortunately I had to start with an unknown and now going to start bubblegum, that's two if I don't lose the unknown and if I actually got bubblegum. lol I'd like to try something purple and energetic, any clues on a strain like that?



Getting sick playing poker all night, lol are you sure you weren't at a brothel? I got yur pm and replied, thanks!



Its been a few days since iv'e added any picture updates, I took bushy and small out for watering and noticed a lil difference but not much, it's funny seems the first month flew by and now in the second month things seem to have slowed way down, I'm hoping that the buds actually fill in or out.. right now looking light chunks.


Bushy & small,

Bushy budshots,

Bushy side branches,

I swear bushy's side branches look like a bunch of colas, I wish I could get more light to them, would be nice if they filled out more, I'm very tempted to trim bushy completely so all of her side branches show more but I heard bad things toward that, on the other hand I've seen people do it and it apperas their plants were doing fine... any thoughts on this would be appreciated, an expert opinion would be greater appreciated.



Bushy top view,

Smalls budshots,

Smalls side branches,

Possible seed,

That bud looks abnormal, the only bud that I see this happening to, could it be a seed forming, please advise!

I wouldn't mind some seeds at this point as I'm not doing that good with the cloning and I fear I may lose this unknown strain for Ever, I'd rather end up with some seeds and have a second chance than to loose this strain.

Until Next Time!

Hiya Bryan, nice to see you drop in, I'm not certain what you mean by the humidity in the box, I'm not growing in any box yet, I use a dome for humidity for the clones... glad to hear that your clones made it through their misfortune also I'm hoping at least one of mine make it, that way at least I could say I have cloned before..lmao



Thanks PIMP, I took the trimmings from the two plants that wasn't topped or fimmed, I'm relieved to hear that it's looking normal, for what I thought to be a seed, is still a mystery to me as it's only on the one bud, maybe someone will come along that has seen something similiar, again thanks PIMP!



Sorry guys not much for updates except I did ad my two flo shop lights in the second flowering chamber, also although I have way less lighting in there the plants seem to be flowering at the same rate as bushy and small started...



Until Next Time!

I figured the same thing when I did it. I was reading somewhere online that certain strains can only produce a certain amount of bud no matter what. I thought that might have had to do with it as well. but yeah, i don't regret cutting off the "suckers" since it's seemed to breathe new life into flowering.

I'm gonna be posting new pics soon now that I have a new cam.

peace.

were your clones flowering when you cut them?

Humboldt,

Had a quick question for ya. I saw on Jomal's grow you mentioned the perlite/soil turning green could be a problem. I have some that have turned a bit greenish. I assumed it was the soil, FF Ocean Forest, and the FF Grow Big (which is very green). I also 'turn up' the surface a bit with a fork each time I water and it shows up from time to time.

The plants seem to be doing fine, but knowledge is king and I'd like to hear some of your thoughts on this.

Thanx.

Whoa humbolt, your babies look fucking delicious. How tall are those last plants you just threw pics up of?

[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]That's interesting to know, I will keep my eyes open on that subject, thanks![/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]How are ya Hucth, thanks for stopping by, to answer your question only four of them are from a flowering plant, thought I'd give it a shot..[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Rocky your perlite/soil turning green may very well be caused by your soil, what's in it or ferts/nutes, when I first started and knew nothing about the humidity the perlite started turning green, the soil took for Ever to dry and after awhile the top soil started turning green, the plants were looking sickly, now that I look back on it I think between the humidity and the peat moss that was in the soil was causing this (have pictures of it back in the beginning I believe) as soon as I got the humidity down everything is all and well..[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Thanks G, those plants are two different sizes, please see the following link, they haven't grown upward since... [/FONT]

Those seeds cost like 170 euros, 120 for blueberry and 50 for hempstar, that makes 4 strains that i have available now, and not one growing, that sucks, but its for the best, cuz i'm moving, so i wanna have everything set before i start again, i just finish mourning my dead ones :'( , but anyways 4 strains Dutch passion's blueberry and hempstar, and Buy Dutch Seeds Ice and Haze19 x Skunk, probably starting one of each for my next grow, as for seeds i thinks the safest way is sensi seeds, as i read, they are the more realiable seed bank out there, check out their white label strains, they have some great looking strains there, check out their purple haze

BTW dude damm ur girls are looking hotter by the minute, wish i could smell them from here!!!!!!!
