Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

figures.

you have to do the conversion.


anything on this side of the decimal .
devide by 28


. anything on the other side, times it by 2.8

Thnaks I can Drink, damn all pages in a single sitting, how does one manage? I do not plan on selling any of my weed, I am growing simply for myself, in other words, I share with no one... everybody I know already grows or has easy access..




Thanks SnowWhite, I'll have to explore the buttons, the damn thing didn't come with much instructions, however I'm thinking I'm supposed to know the math.lol. I hate numbers, math was and is my worst subject.




Thanks masta, too funny, don't max out the scale. lol wish I could go there.... however I've got a decent stock pile, what's up with yur supply are you running low?




Thanks chazz, much appreciated, hopefully some of that weed you're stuck buying comes with a couple seeds, oh and watch out for them f*cks that like to lace their weed, never heard of when I was buying.. keep it safe...




Thanks robbie, I am very excited, this is most definitely the best part, however trimming can be time consuming, I've always said that I would have a blast manicuring witch I do and always will but now I understand when growers say it's a pain in the ass, I suppose it would be if you're growing pounds...

Stay tuned, numbers are coming up!




Thanks greenweed you have been a great help, I will be pushing buttons until I either break the damn thing or figure it out...




Thanks cow, Iv'e been keeping me eye on your journal, believe me not, it won't be long for you now....

It reads that it has 0.1 oz sensitivity...


0.1 ounces = 2.83495231 grams

Click to expand...

Damn more numbers, in a round about, 0.1 equals two grams? oh hell lmao I'll figure it out, you guys have been great.


Again thanks guys but all these numbers are confusing me, I will have to sit and have a one on one.. or I'm just gunna put the damn weed on the scale and let you all do the math...






More updates,




Cut hung branches individually,

Some weed that I left out for a quick dry,

Ended up pretty good..

As you can see who's who..


The skeletons,



I will be putting thm in jars in the next few days and hopefully will have some numbers for you all..


Found another seed in small, looks more mature and I'm sure that it's not the last, I'm looking forward in finding more..

Last clone rooted .. HOOAH!!

And then there are three,

The last clone has a lil story behind it, I didn't think it would root because when I found the first clone rooted I also noticed this last ones stem had broke in half so I shoved it deep as far as it would go, never the less it rooted and now made it hard to repot, time will only tell how she'll do..





Bubblegum not looking good,

The bubblegum and the plants in the veg room are starting to look sick, so what I did was swap rooms with mediocre as I know the conditions are much better, there's something about the veg room the plants just don't like, other than improper ventilation... I'm thinking mediocre will do just fine finishing in there as the lights will only be on 12 hours at a time....





Mediocres temp flowering room,

Temp veg nursery room,

Hope things start looking better soon, I should transplant them sprouts into bigger pots but I do not have the room and total pots, I'm thinking they should be ok in them lil cups for a bit longer as I had my first sprouts in much longer and they seem to have been ok..

More updates coming up in the next few days, so stay tuned, it's not over yet....



Until Next Time!


PS: I'm getting ripped and loving it!

hope everything works out, and you get many more buds, are you clones in a dome.and how much weed did you harvest, per plant. sorry i havent read all 69 pages.

also did you pollenate, on purpose, to get some seeds.
btw, the seeds look ace. good work, its nice to see some bud pics.

back on the raod forward eh Hum...good for you....your clones look like they're gonna do just fine....as always...excellent work!

i'm having a hell of a time, the temp keeps dropping sooo low and the room goes into the high 60's and everything comes to a stand still, then turn yellow, this is pissing me off.

it's been 2 months and all i have is this little bitty big bud plant 5 inches tall and the rest are dying.

I'm going to seal the room up this weekend, line it with white plastic and get a heater set to 70 degrees.

i have never had so much problems growing a weed.



and everyone 0.1 on the scale equals 2.8 grams.

a 0.5 would be

2.8 times 5 =14 grams and so on.

My mouth is watering........

those are some nice buds.

Lookin good Humboldt, can't wait for the smoke report.

How long you plan on 'curing' them in the jar before smoking?

Thanks crazy, the clones are out from under the dome, I only kept the dome over for about a week, I'm still working on the weight, see updates bellow..

I did not intentionally pollinate, I'm thinking I got seeds from all the stress I gave them as a Noob! or perhaps due to bagseed..




Thanks tahoe, as always much appreciated.




Sorry to hear about your problems greenweed, do have any any pics or a link to a journal? I am having a similar problem but I found out today that my problem may be due to root bound, I'm thinking the plants just couldn't grow any further, I transplanted the worse looking ones, hopefully I'll see some improvements in the next couple of days...


Thnaks robbie, me head is buzzing!


Thnak sbwinn.




Thanks Rocky, report smoke . is freakin awesome, I'm getting hella ripped the most ripped I've been in a long time, also I'm in the middle of manicuring, as mentioned previously I am trying several different methods on curing, I will give reports as it goes...







Some wieght,




3 mediocre, 1 bushy and 1 small top,

Sorry the picture quality is very poor and didn't feel like taking another pic, as you should be able to see that it reads .. 1.8 0z

Those are the very tops of the colas, the scale only has two settings, grams or ounces, I set it to ounces so I'm assuming that the reading is in fact close to two onces, if this is so then it looks like I may get a lil over an ounce just from them and there's what's left of mediocre and a hole lotta chunks of bud left..







Harvested mediocres remains,

Mediocres last cola branch broke while transporting to harvest table.

For Grandfather,

Mediocres last wet budshot,

Killing bubblegum,

I couldn't figure out what was going wrong with the bubblegum, until I decided to transplant the ones that I was able to, I still need three pots, also I had to harvest mediocre for room, I'm thinking it was a reasonable sacrifice...


Thanks to all and to all a BIG! thanks...



Until Next Time!



PS: I have been very busy not only with the manicuring but with life, I do have lot's to report and say but too busy and forget half the stuff I want to post at the time .. specially now that I'm soo freakin ripped.. I do plan on typing a summary of this grow, including my thoughts! however it won't be brief...

Humboldt,

Just my un educated guess but I think the bubblegum maybe overwatered? The snake is the tell tale sign, kinda.

How do you water? Do you go for the 10% run off? If so you may want to rethink it for YGF's "Turkey Baster" watering method.

I'm trying to 'draw' my roots back up throught the soil so the utilize all of it. That first root picture is great, those look so good.

Anyway just my $.02.

Ohh 2 more questions. Did you harvest in the dark and I've heard that you want to separate the plant from it's roots, I notice yours are attached, any reasoning?

Thanks man

Farm Hard

Hey Humb,

You cleaned up nicely!!! Did you make your own cloner? How? Is there a good success rate? I want to make one. Your so handy... I started a journal finally, check it out when you get a chance.... you look really busy!!!lol. Only using my cfls for side light now, but if they worked as good for me as they are working for you i would have kept them forever. I am making a grow box tomorrow i will use my vanitys and cfls there....

Cant wait to see the final wieght.... Your a MASTER GROWER!!! Keep us posted...

Thanks Rocky, yeah they are most definitely over watered, a bit of a story but I'll try to keep it short.

It all started when I noticed the sprouts start to droop, I was being extra careful not to over water but I read that when plants droop its because they are thirsty and needed more water, so I gave them more (BIG! mistake) then I read somewhere that some strains of bubblegum droop.

I went back to the norm water schedule, after while they just stopped growing and looked like they were dying, that's when I decided to transplant .. the saga continues, time will only tell if they will make it but with my past mistakes and experiences tells me they will be just fine...

Note to self: DO NOT START SPROUTS WITHOUT HAVING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF SPACE AND POTS!!




Thanks 1 2 3 puffs but I'm far from MASTER' however I'm working on it I did make that single cloner but not before buying a 100 bucks worth of cloning material, witch now I'm finding out you don't really need that expensive stuff but it is nice and handy... I had one clone left waiting to root when I needed room and the cloning tray took up too much room for one lil ole clone so I made it's own lil perch, worked out great...

Simply took a small butter container cut hole to fit plug in lid and put holes at bottom for breathing purposes, however by doing this meant me having to water more frequently, I think I will put the holes in the lid rather than the bottom, I'm thinking if I didn't put the holes at bottom that it would of held the moister better.

Keeping the plug moist .. simply used a straw dipped straw into container of water plugging one end with my finger holding the water in, then placed straw over plug lifting my finger releasing the water onto the plug, seems to be just the right amount for each plug/watering, I would do this twice a day, again if I hadn't put the holes on bottom I more than likely would of only had to water once a day..

Success rate: Over all poor - 3 out of 20 or more, however with the 1 good results, 1 clone .. 1 makeshift cloner and a bit of time = roots!

PS: A link would of been nice..





Until Next Time!




PS: Still manicuring, pretty busy just stopping in to check PM's and answer a couple of questions, updates coming soon!

Hey Humbolt,
Its been awhile, nice job. Glad to see your success.

Quick question, in your pic of the scale and buds it says 1.8 oz, now is that just those few nuggs or is the pic. just deceiving. It doesn't look like 1.8 oz.

Take care

Lol... here you go hun.... https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/41664-1puff2puff3puffs-hydro-soil-grow-journal.html

humboldt, man the yeild looks good as hell. man my stash was gone weeks after it was harvested lol. that shit dried for a week and then my wife smoked like 3 ounces the next coming weeks haha. she was like cheech and chong with joint after joint.

Back am I....

Hi ya'll! Sorry, jus been taking care a biz.....anywhooo!

I been veggin since about tha beginning of November.....20-25 inches tall, I am kickin susie into flower mode. She gots arms all ova... I know she looks sickly, its my first time, i am not adding any more nutrients (Blood or bone meal) just watering when needed.

So, my question is this, is it viable after curing to freeze and save? If so, any best practices to follow?

Here are my pics, she's now flowering . My Indican Susie is veggin by herself now...her organic soil is perfect.... I love her hand clap ....

Oh! that cup next to susie...is molasses and vinegar, natural fruit fly (lake of fire) .

I highly recommend Strawberry Cough if anyone is curious for a nice sativa high!

Thanks!


RON PAUL '08!!

Thanks Logan, those are only the very tops also weren't as dry, I do agree does't look the weight it reads but that's what it read.... see updates bellow.



Thanks for the link 3 puffs, I'll have a look see when I get the chance.



Thanks masta, yeah I know the yield is looking to be much larger than I expected, lmao @ your wife, I'm afraid I'm having the same problem, I can't keep from smoking .. gettin dumber by the minute I have to admit I have bud scattered everywhere and it's nice, hopefully I'll be able to keep the bud coming.....



Hello PIMP, you just now starting to flower and your gunna stop feeding nutes? your plants do look sickly but I wouldn't recommend stopping the nutes altogether, I would flush susie and just feed her water for the next couple of feedings then dose her with a small amount of nutes, see how she takes, if she takes well then try dosing her a lil heavier, I feed my girls molasses and tiger bloom every feeding..

Concerning curing I have no Idea I have heard to freeze but I do not have the room in my freezer also I feel no need to freeze as long as you keep them in a sealed container..

You got a case of flys eh, when I had gnats I used dish soap and apple vinegar, worked well for the lake of fire... then I found some inexpensive fly strips that worked good too...






Manicure update,

As you can see I didn't get much trim out of them, I just put all their trim together.

I like to rub my fingers on my hands to save the sticky, each piece represents a session of manicuring.

I rubbed a bit too hard and long.





The wrong way to cure,

This is an example of when one puts weed into a jar too wet or early, be sure the buds are dry before curing using jars.. basically ages the bud real quick, the bud still is potent however it tastes like it's 10 years old .. in other words tastes like shit.

Note to self: DO NOT PUT BUD IN JARS TOO WET!!





Bud that I'm smoking now,

Not bad for not properly curing, it seems to get better the longer it cures..





Weigh Ins,

All their tops minus the one from mediocre,

Posing with soda can,

I put the can in the shot to give you all a better idea of the sizes, I've seen it in other threads, seems to be good as we all know how big the can is...

Regardless .. if the weight is wrong, take away the 6 and I'd still be flabbergast..





Bushys weight minus what I've smoked,

Mediocres weight minus what I've smoked and f*cked up,

Smalls weght minus what Iv'e smoked,

I don't know if I'm weighing this shit properly or too soon but the readings are looking good to me, all the buds weighed are smokabowl as in dry enough to smoke, I will weigh them again in the next week or so, even if it ends up being half still would be more than I was expecting.


Again regardless if the total weight is correct or not, take away all the points, dots, decimals I'd still be satisfied.

To sum it up in a handful of words .. I'm completely THRILLED with my results! HOOAH!!





In the jars they sit,

Most likely they will stay in the jars until I'm ready to smoke, for example when I run out of current buds to smoke I will simply dip into the jars until gone... I do not expect this harvest to last long as I'm already going crazy smokin..... I may continue to smoke like this up until the last ounce then I will have to train myself to slow down, although if things continue to go well I may not need to slow down




Until Next Time!

hey Hum....looks like you got all your loose ends tied up and moving on.....its been said....but I'll say it again. your journal was a worthwhile read at all times, you kept up your communication and answerede questions, and posted LOTS of pics! looking forward to the progress of your next prject.

Good job Hum!
