Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg & More! CFL's - LED - HPS

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

I got some good laughs getting caught up! You do type very very fast. I wish I could think that fast. Maybe with practice. When I used to play a lot of online poker, I could play over 20+ games at once. Not very well, but I could still do that with marginal profitability :)

Pics look awesome! You can even see the hairs on the hairs wow. I love the lady bug one. It looks like he is smelling you because just the mouth parts are in focus. So cool! I like the partial out of focus look, it sort of slowly draws your eyes into the focused area :)

Canna, with certain strains you can let them go way way late on flowering and they can 'throw out bananas'. DP goes into detail about this. He says he gets fem seeds this way with out using chemicals to induce hermies. In my opionion if a Hermie happened because of stress and not genetics pollen from it wont be more likely to grow another hermie. If the genes were this easily manipulated, it would have happened in nature ages ago. I don't have experience with this, but I did consult a few people including a molecular biologist who was very adamant about the genes not changing in that fashion.

BAR - It is good to see you here. I remember when I saw that pic in you journal. I thought I said something (but it was too late). I had wished at the time that I has stayed current, so I could have chimed in before they opened.

When I opt for seeds other than buying a particular strain what I do is flower a clone for 4 weeks and then stop watering and put in a closet with no light except when I open the door; she'll usually hermie within 3 weeks.

hi i am a new user and new grower i am doing small scale stuff just so i dont have to pay for it anymore its a expensive habit. i have 3 plants i am growing on is strawberry cough the other is afghani wich is the one i will be talking about and romulan i have been feeding them with this
KGrHqJ_hIE6Z3Ns_LBOvWgyENew_60_35.JPG
i dont know much about it other then its all natural rather then chemicals i dont want my weed to taste nasty i just started to bud my afghani plant she is about 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall her light shcedule is 16 on 8 off i have been making sure my plants keep moist i use a spray bottle to spray down leafs i feed them all once a week and water once daily i am also using this soil on all plants

i couldnt find much info online about it so i found what i could on it here it is ProEarth #2 INGREDIENTS: SASKATCHEWAN SPHAGNUM PEAT (AIR DRIED GROWER GRADE), HORTICULTURAL AND SOIL MIX GRADE PERLITE, VERMICULITE (MEDIUM), PUMICE, AGED ALDER SAWDUST (NITRIFIED), UNKILNED DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (NATURAL INSECT CONTROL), DOLOMITE LIME FLOUR (-40 MESH), LIMESTONE FLOUR (-100 MESH), CALCIUM NITRATE, FERROUS SULFATE, POTASSIUM SULFATE, AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE, TEMPERATURE RELEASE FERTILIZER, ADDED TRACE ELEMENTS, M-ROOTS (MYCHORRIZAE), ESSENTIAL W.A.

HEY Rain....I still think she needs to get rid of that hermie...I have done 17 grows with hermie seeds...what I have found is if the plant hermied due to stress it's seeds are much more likely to hermie under any stress (heat, light, nute def) at that same time in the grow...if her plant hermied in very late flower...I would use those seeds...but hers hermied in very early flower... seeds from that plant will not be fem and will be very likely to hermie in very early flower...if the environment is perfect they may not hermie in early flower but who wants to take that chance after all the work for propagation and vegging. Also she has males to breed stable genitics...so why mess with an early flower hermie?

Just my opinion based on my experience...I've also been wrong before so don't listen to me :)

HI jdmjunior1991 and :welcome: to :420: !
I don't know anything about the items you are posting about, so here are a couple of other steps you can take to get help. ;-)
Do you have a journal started? If not, that is the best way to get help on the site. Members who can help on your questions will find you faster.

You can go here to start a new thread in the grow journals:
Journals in Progress
That should get some help.
Let us know if you need help getting there.:cheesygrinsmiley:

Any of you members here know where the link is to: "How to ask for grow help"? I cannot locate it. LOL

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

My DIY project for today was heat in the grow room.
I added a piece of duct pipe to another area of the the room, It's fairly easy as the ductwork down there is that flexible round stuff. Don't know what it's called, but it was easy to add a section to point downward with a T unit.
I had a false wall piece in the old bathroom down there that used to hide plumbing fixtures and pipes, that had been gutted out but I kept the "wall".
I used that in the grow room to have the duct go down into and then added another piece that angles and is rectangular that fits flat against the inside of the wall toward the bottom. I put a register vent on the outside and a plastic piece that forces the air downwards.
Done!
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard...is not what I meant......LOL

That's a good idea too. How many seeds would you normally get from one plant doing that? I'm sure it would be more than enough, but just curious.
Thanks!
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

after about 2 or 3 weeks I would just move one plant that replaced them in the main room in with em with a fan, turn the light on and let it finish there. They were in 3 litre pop bottles at the time and under flouros and probably got about 70-80 good seeds per. A lot of space and work that coulda been used better imho but if one was trying to actually breed then I could see the merit though, otherwise cloning makes a lot more sense for me. Now I have a 600 watt hps in that room where I finish flowering plants after they veg & flower for the 1st 3-4 weeks under a 600 mh in the first room. I clone in the bathroom and move one mom back and forth from there to the mh when its in flower mode for a month...also a lot of extra annoying work, lmfao...really need to get a T5 for the bathroom and sit on my arse more.

Thanks Jam!
One thing I am not short of is space...the basement is 32' x 40' even longer on one side, kind of an odd shape, but it is what it is. LOL It has several rooms to work with. I am not using it for anything but growing. I absolutely love the cannabis growing process. Nothing seems like work to me when dealing with the plants really.
I am a very high energy person, I have not learned the art of sitting on my "arse".....yet. LOL (your t5 in the bathroom was quite funny though) I don't consider it extra work....more-so extra interesting things to do.
My friends say I don't sit down for more than 2 minutes at any one time, they've timed me. :rofl:
I must have something to do, if I'm sitting with nothing to do...(and I don't recall the last time that ever happened to me)...I feel like I'm wasting time, so I FIND something to do. Hence all of the DIY projects I do. ;-)
I have plenty of energy to expel and have no problem doing it. :cheesygrinsmiley: Sleep and sometimes a really good movie is the only time I am stationery. ;-)
I might slow down someday....but it will not be anytime soon.:biglaugh:

Okay, I've decided on the decision...to put to rest the Mutant plant and the hermaphrodite. I will take pollen from the male Master Kush (I think it's a Master Kush, will have to check that again)
So how long do I let the male flower before I tap the pollen out? And I have it on 12/12 schedule, should that be any different than the flowering females?
Thanks!:thanks:

20 games of poker at once??? That is like my grandma used to do at Bingo! Wow...:thedoubletake:

Thanks for tips on the hermies. One of these days I'm going to try what DP is doing too.
I did decide to toss this one though. Not quite ready for that challenge. I want to get pollen first, then maybe play around more tactics on the next grow. I have seen some grows where they get the bananas, that's a pretty cool process too.
Glad you like the pics, I wasn't happy with the face on the little critter. I was aiming for it to be fully focused on the nose and antennae.
Maybe next time. This is the first time ever that I have not used professional equipment to take photos...I'm doing it with the phone. LOL My photography instructor would be rolling in his grave.:rofl:
Hope your weekend is going well and the girls are happy out there!

Thanks USMCO,
It is putting out warm air, I put a peacock feather in the vent and kicked the furnace on to make sure there was air blowing out. Not blasting by any means, but there is enough that I don't have to worry now. ;-)
I will check your journal later, I love to see DIY'ers!

Hey Jdm,
thanks! These ladybugs are good little bugs. They patrol the plants and eat any tiny tiny insects such as aphids and such. They have not harmed my plants and there are growers here that welcome them to their gardens. :-)
Have fun!

They don't take very long to start releasing their pollen at all; give it a couple weeks or so and just look for the sacs to start splitting. If you're away from the females and not worried about the air carrying pollen to them you can touch it with your finger and some will come off on it. Just trim any crinkly greenage off (so it doesn't get in with the pollen) snip off a part of the plant (or all of it at the base) put it in a bag and shake and you've got your goods.
