Old Phototron Experiment

[Minus]

cool man, glad I could help. All I want in return is a smoke report hehe

Will do!

 

[Minus]

Ok,I've never been this late into growing before so I have stupid questions.
Amazing what one day can do to a plant.Yesterday this bud did not have these swollen calyx.
I made sure none of the fems even had a remote chance to be pollinated so my question is.....Is this normal?Are those seeds?Is this a hermie?

All feedback and help appreciated.

 

[Minus]

Well,I guess I'll just see what they turn out to be.

Day 38 12/12

Fromunda bud

The jungle

 

[Dr. 215]

Its like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder...

 

[Harry Red]

Yeah, those do look like some seeds. All it takes is a couple of male flowers to pop out and it can be hard to find 'em all sometimes..

They still look good. You can pick out the seeds. It will decrease your yield but it should be very smokable.

Shit.I don't get it.I pulled the males way before they had a chance to even come close to pollinate.Hermie then?I'm curious as to how it happened.
Should I pull the plug now?What do you think?I don't want a bunch of seed.
Thanks Harry.

 

[Harry Red]

Either one of the males dropped a sac or more likely, a male or two flower popped out on ya. Can you feel the seeds in there?

I don't believe I would pull them at this point. You're not that far from harvest. I had some male flowers pop out in my current grow at nearly 9 weeks.

How many plants do you have in there?

 

[RageMonkey]

I used miracle gro soil for my last grow and it tasted absolutely horrible. Miracle gro makes the plants look great, but they end up tasting horrible since it is made for house plants and not crops.

After harvest, give us a shout and tell us how it tastes/smells.

 

[RageMonkey]

BTW, do the lights burn the leaves that are touching?

Yeah Harry,I'm just gonna let em do their thing.I am a bit miffed about the seed though.Guess I'll just spread the love somewhere next spring.
There's six girls in there Harry.

Well Rage,if they taste anything like they smell it's going to be sweet.
I plan on 2 days lights out before harvest then a good slow cure.
I'm sure I'll have a small sample after a week though.
As far as miracle grow,it's what I had.This is very low budget.
We do what we can with what we got.

BTW, do the lights burn the leaves that are touching?

Yep,they do but it's like a slow burn and it takes weeks.

I'm picking up a magnifying glass tonight.A friend says it's a powerful one with a light.We'll see.I want to look at the trichs.

Anyways they smell dank and wonderful.(even with the seed that only seems to have affected the low side of the tron)
Here's a few shots day 41 12/12.

 

[Dr. 215]

well they are nice and fat... Even if there are some seeds it could still be a dank smoke... And you should scout out an outdoor spot to sow those seeds this spring. Best of luck man, you could investigate different flushing styles to get rid of any crappy MG taste. Great grow.

Thanks Dr.215,I think it's going to be good smoke myself.Gotta wait and see.
Got my outside "spots" just about picked out.Only accessible by boat and knowledge of the swamp.GPS is my friend.
As for flushing,I think I'll have to read a bit more but I think just water the last two weeks will help alot.

 

[Minus]

Hey,sweet!Thread went 5 star.Too cool.Go Phototron baby go

 

[Minus]

Could be me but growth seems almost non-existent as of right now.
Still haven't seen the trichs closeup yet.Maybe tonight.
I may be smoking this puppy very soon.
One thing for sure,they aren't getting anything but spring water from here on out.

 

[BubbaDank]

they look beautiful and i can even tell a difference from the last pics . and the bottled water thing is a very good idea ,and its pretty cheap,and safer , i get galons for like 48cents a piece >>>>but anyways congrats .keep up the work

 

[Harry Red]

They're looking great. How long have they been on 12/12? I believe you still have a while longer to go..



Harry

 

[Dr. 215]

Yeah i agree, you should look into some late bloom nutes, i want you to get your full potential out of this experiment, its been a pleasure to watch! And you can always flush later, and curing will take out those nasty tastes. Lookin good man! And hell yeah on the outdoor project next year!

 

[Minus]

Thanks Harry,Dr.215,and BuBBaDaNK.
I'm only 46 days 12/12 as of yet.
Sounds sad but I can't get afford the nutes.I have granulated MG but not sure if I should continue with it as I'm seeing some nute burn.
Been under the weather as of late and getting antsy I guess.
Looking at trichomes with the mag glass is not gonna work for me,my eyes just won't cooperate with anything that small.
I'll be honest.If you guys weren't here to tell me not to harvest,I probably would.
Tough sometimes........Thanks for your support!

 

[Dr. 215]

Hope you pull through man, even though times are ruff, getting the full potential out of the most useful plant ever will make you happier and more medicated. You should be fine without nutes when you run out, although they would help, the plant will survive. I would really like to see you get the full potential and best quality out of your grow, you put in the hard work to get this far why not make it the best it can be?

 

[Minus]

Thanks Dr.215 and yes,I want it to be nice.
I suspected they might be root bound and after what I'm seeing today I'm pretty sure they are done.
Woke up to find that all the leaves are dying and it even looks like I've lost trichomes.
This makes me wonder about the tron not taking as long in flower.
I don't think it will produce huge bud,not my version anyway.
I'll take pictures later to show what I'm talking about but they are coming down in two days to make way for one LST'd female.
