Re: Donpaul.p's latest 400watt hps grow,
here are the pics your waiting for, these first few pics are the clones, seedlings, reveg etc etc, all these are grown under cfls, the others are under hps but ill tell you which ones when we get to them
these first couple of clones are from my own attempt at making fem seeds, so far all the seeds i have planted from my attempt at fem seeds have all been fem.
again this pic below is clones from my attempt at fem seeds, these 2 clones where taken to test if they would root without a dome, i thought the one was about dead so took another clones and planted it next to it again with no dome over either, both survived and just started growing, i would not recomend this method to anyone as it took way to long, i was just trying to do it how i did it years ago as i never used domes and my clones lived, so tried it with these 2 and both lived and now rooted, strongets clone will stay in that pot the weaker one ill try and remove and repot
the plants these clones where taken from will be further down as their in flower so you will know what cross they are in later pics
another thing i have found with clones is that the smaller the stem above ground the quicker they tend to root, below ground level is less than an inch of stem, i only took small clones this time round as these was the little popcorn bud branches below canopy so not much to clone, but they lived and rooted,
this is side view showing height
below is a big bud #2. this was a free seed from herbies from one of the first purchases i made, again herbies is by far the best place i have bought seeds from, give herbies a try and you wont go anywhere else for your seeds, fast delivery, low prices and plenty of free seeds with every order even if you just buy 1 seed you get 3 free,
below is 2 x sleestack cross skunk regular seeds, again free from herbies, why 2 seeds you ask, well i planted 1 seed and after 14 days nothing sprouted, so i planted another and then that sprouted 3 days later and the other sprouted 2 days after that, so 2 seeds but both reg so might end up with 1 male and 1 fem, if their both fem ill use one for clones and keep the other in that pot,
below is a monster cropped sour diesel, its been harvested and now under cfls to reveg,
now this one below is one of my own attempt at femenised seeds,
now the plant i got pollen from was an ak47 male cross with uk cherry cheese female, i got these free from a seed company ages ago as a sample, they did not bring the strain out or if they have they might of given it a decent name as the smoke is top shelf and a nice plant to grow,
so this is what i did.
1, flowered an ak47 cross uk cherry cheese female,
2, harvested it and left about the bottom 1/4 on the plant basically all the small popcorn buds then it went back under flower,
3, kept it in flower so it went way past the point of harvest and small bananas started growing, not like the normal male flowers on a male plant these where like mini bananas, so kept flowering it till these was ready to open, collected all pollen from bananas and used this on fem plants, im told this produces fem seeds without the hermi trait, if the plant turns hermie on its own then the resulting seeds will more than likely be hermie when grown, but using this method produces fem seeds or so im told, but so far its worked out ok and gave me all fem plants so far,
so this pic below is the pollen from the ak47 x uk cherry cheese fem and i put this pollen on a femenised afgan kush, this pic is the plant from that cross, i crossed 3 plants using this method,
i start my seeds and clones under cfls as it seems to keep the nodes very close,
same plant as last pick
this one below is a clone from the ak47 cross uk cherry cheese, its got 2 branches growing out at soil level then 2 days ago i topped each branch so this will give me 4 main colas, i would love to know what the name of this strain is if they did actually bring it out as a new strain, i had to write a review but heard nothing back, luckily i was given 10 seeds and my last 2 seeds where male and female so pollenated the lower buds and got myself enough seeds to keep this strain around for future grows,
all the pictures below are from the plants under the 400watt Dual spectrum hps, the only extra in the flower room is 2x co2 generators, the basic yeast and sugar type
this plant below is the jack flash femenised, how ever im sure its male and its now taken out of the flower room, ill use it for pollen as i love this strain, ill order some more of this strain when i get chance, would love a female jack flash,
below is the bottom buds on the ak47 cross uk cherry cheese, i harvested this plant a couple of days ago but these buds where tiny so put back under lights and their putting on weight pretty quick now, should increase yield slightly,
below is the kc brains or kc45 auto, its kc45 auto on herbies site, i had 10 seeds all regular, this is the 4th female plant from this batch of seeds and i got 3 seeds left, this time round this auto just kept getting taller and taller, side branches stopped growing outwards and just grew strait up so ill end up with some very big buds off this auto,
below is a 2ltr dwc hempie, this flowered then i revegged it, i wont be doing this again as the harvest this time round will be less than half of what i got the first time round so after its flowered ill start again with another seed,
this one is one of my own fem seeds, its ak47 x cherry cheese crossed with fruity chronic juice, this was 12-12 from seed as i wanted to check if they turned out fem, ignore the smaller plant in the pot sitting on top of this pot ill tell you what this is further down,
below is a big buddhe purple cheese auto femenised,
now we get onto another of my own fem strain, this was the pollen from the ak47 x cherry cheese and the pollen went onto delicious critical sensi star, the clones at the top of my post are from this plant, its actually 2 plants in a big long rectangle tub, the bigger of the 2 plants is the cross i just mentioned the smaller plant is cherry cheese pollen cross with sour diesel,
the plant on the left is the sour diesel cross, the right plant is the sensi start cross, the buds are basically white, the leaves are turning white, their is so much trichs its crazy, this is why i took clones from it in case i dont get the same results with a seed from that cross, if i keep a clone going i should get these results every time,
neither of these plants have been topped, no scrog either, all i used was pipe cleaners and removed all lower branches not getting any light, so i just kept spreading the branches and kept opening the plant up, when i harvest these ill grow just 1 plant in this tub and do the same and should get similar results, not much different to a scrog,
this bud is the sour diesel cross, not as covered as the other plant but smells very nice
this shot is the sensi star side
sensi star is on the left
sensi star buds
right their you go, plenty to look at,
please feel free to make any comments or ask any questions, ill answer the best i can and for the new growers dont worry about asking basic questions as im just as happy to answer these, im not a top grower i grow for myself, i learned all i know from this site and its got me some damn good bud, so im here to pass on as much info as i can and ill do all i can to help with what ever it is you may need help with,
the only plants not above is the ken estes gdp male, this is growing elsewhere so i can collect the pollen without risking getting pollen everywhere, ill be crossing the gdp with some other purple strain, possibly the purple cheese auto i got growing, that way i may end up with a few auto seeds along with some regular seeds as the resulting seeds will not be all auto, not sure on numbers to be exact but possibly 1 in 5 will be auto so bit hit and miss,
thanks for looking,
If Kushy and smoke 2 are here thats good enough for me!
Looking forward to the pic's always looking to snag a little info from an accomplished grower. 
good weed to you sir!
Thats what im talking about!
