Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

NIce job Jimmy
The Greenhouse is coming along well, I dont know if you ve fully finished it or not but is looking good so far.. What are you using for the covering on the G/house? Just wondering thats all..
It looks to let in ok light, is it durable like for rain/strong wind? Im sure you ve got it sorted.. Sorry! Inside is filled with lots of goodies - Im not sure on what you intend to do grow wise later, if youre gunna put a few in the ground or keep some in pots too.. Ive made some wikid good garden beds - like the one to the left of the pic, build up the first 3ft of top soil with compost if you have it, worms, Dolomite Cal/mag, some manure, and some great organic soil - HUMUS!! Mix it all thru well and build up the soil so its raised above the edging but not all the way to the edges with the soil keep it 5 or so inches away.. This will be a ganja growing gargantuan!!! OR... Just do what you bloody want! Who am I to tell you how to grow weed?? pls forgive my insolence..
But yea youre doing great buddy and the tomato plant will totally throw other ppl off track - theyll see it and think all your plants are just tomatos...... If only everyone was that simple!
Take care buddy and will drop by soon. Catch ya, Smokemupm8!! Oh and hope you dnt mind but I took a pic of Lucy, yes, its crap quality again!! but yeah - Im putting one here for ya, I am surprised how quickly she responded, it wasnt long ay.. I am not sure if she will finish up earlier then, but now she has my 600w on her and she is just over 4.5ft tall now? Not much stretch again, and Ive wasted lower growth its a mess since the breakage unfortunately.
Anyways :

Cya mate Smokem...

good weed Jimmy
the early flower may work in your favor bro. I remember reading a post donpaul made about some folks sending the girls into flower half way through the grow and then switching the lights back to a veg routine for a few weeks then back to flower. supposedly it doubled the yield of the grow.

Well the J-13 sativa plants are definitely having small flowers start on some .

Hopefully this does not fuck everything up and ruin the grow.

Hey Jimmy

As long as the days are still getting longer, they will reveg out of flowering. It could actually help yield as it will cause the plant to get extra bushy. Have you ever revegged a plant? You get a crazy amount of branches where the buds were. It's not like it will really slow you down since it's outdoor. It's gonna finish in Fall no matter what you do

I like the greenhouse. I wish I could grow in my backyard.

Well at the rate the J-13s are growing I may, dare I say... want them to slow down lol. They have grown about one foot in height in last 2 weeks and all have more bushy thickness too. One has already hit the top of its 42 inch tall tomato cage.

Out of my 5 really bigguns that I started months ago now all are a solid 4 feet. For some reason the 2 still havent sexed... I am leaning towards they are female but they have no preflowers so iono. I LST two of the girls that i put in 20 gallon pots, bent them bitches over like a good girl .

My purple kushes are all starting to show sex. 5 are definitely female, 4 are males and 7 still unknown. I wanna save some pollen off the best purple kush male, but ive never seen a pollen sack explode. Obviously I don't want it to get there, but I do want to get it to the point were i can get pollen out of it then ill kill the bastard (already killed 3 males in compost pile).

So how big do the sacs have to get before you can get pollen from them? Right now they are just the size of a pencil lead if that and theres only a couple.

OH also one of my two GDP clones rooted and one of the Chem D rooted too.

Hey Jimmy, Sounding good mate - 4ft plants Awsumness...
Good that theyre thick and bushy too, hopefully theyll be nice producers for ya pal!!! And since you ve LST d some you could end up with some rather epic buds.
With the male plants, isnt there some breathable material you could maybe surround them with that trapped most of the pollen the plant released, and when ready enough you can chop em? Theres this stuff Ive got which is sort of the same as a cloth car cover I bought, it let in some light, but was breathable and was fairly finely woven so it could trap some of the pollen? Just a thought..
Anyways great job and will chat soon ok mate, later bud.. Smokem

So wheres the pics bro? I like picture books

I couldnt tell you on the pollen sacks since I never seen a full blown male yet. But I guess when they get pretty big youll know cause theyll look like there going to bust all over some girls

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

them sacks will get about the size of a large MJ seed before they pop. if you can isolate the nanners on the plant with a paper bag or something that would be a plus. cause once he blows his wad it could easily prego your entire grow.
hope you have a good weedend Cricket

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

Well they havent even started to dangle yet. The ones there are just tiny little clusters with like 2 or 3 sacs about the size of a large grain of sand each.

Ill try to get some pics tomorrow. Maybe show paula and the other biggest of the bunches.

Looking good J..you might want to sit those pots on something..insects like to crawl under stuff..something is going to go up the drain holes..use some bricks...

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

Here is the last two males, everything has sexed now and i killed all the other males. How long tilll i can get pollen off them?

Then here is Paula

and some others.

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

hell you can collect pollen as long as he makes sacks..i wouldn't leave the collecting container on the plant too long..like...change containers...

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

I thought that they didnt sprout pollen till the sacks open though? These are really far from open.

yep..only when they open..they can open fast...like overnight,,,but not all at once...

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

Pretty sure none opened yet. They only lived for 1 or 2 days from showing sex (ive kept a super close eye). These 2 are the most far along and just incase i moved them behind a shed away from the others. I will kill one soon and just keep one. I will probably move that one into a room with 12/12 light away from everything else. Then once a sac opens harvest some Purple Kush Pollen and kill that one as well .

So final count of female plants is:

7 purple kush
3 chemdawg
4 deep sleep
5 j-13
3 fruit

Then inside I got:

2 j-13
1 GDP
1 Chemdawg
and i think my other GDP and other Chemdawg will root too as they have some yelow in leaves now.

Giving reps jimmy. What strains came out males? I missed that I think.

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

HEY! CRICKET!
where you at buddy?

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

It was like 9 purple kush males and 2 Juicy Fruit males. So roughly half of my seed plants were male.

Also all my damn plants besides the ones in my greenhouse are flowering .

All my J-13 and all my Juicy Fruit are in flower...

But all the Purple Kush, Chemdawgs, and Deep sleeps seem ok.

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

yea...reveg...mine came out of flowering mode fast..the same time last year..middle of may...now if only the rain and tornadoes give me a break...focus...

 

[Jimmycricket]

Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry

Every damn thing just wants to flower on me

Most or all the purple kushes are starting to flower. All I have left is the plants which where the first to go outside too ffs. The deep sleeps and the Chemdawgs...

Always problems in weedland...
