Spimps 2013 1st Grow - Ghetto Micro

Im gonna try that for sure. When my trics get where I want them Im locking the box and opening in 48 hours! Or at least doing my best to try! lol As excited as I am today, its gonna be difficult. But once my mind grasped the concept of "producing the best product" it has made alot of things easier. Like cutting back on nutes, flushing, etc etc. When I first started I woulda shot them full of Horse steriods if someone told me it made them grow big! :rofl:

My dad grew 25 females 4 years in a row there back in the day. Just cause I only ask permission for 1, doesnt mean a bean or six might not fall outta my pocket somewhere... ;)
 
As you switch to just water you will notice that some of the leaves will start yellowing. This will be natural as nitrogen is used up. Don't freak out! ;)
 
This is actually my 3rd plain water feed and I have noticed that on the oldest today. Thanks for the info becaue I do have some 'freak out' in me. :) I flushed, then one other plain water before today. I was just trying to squezze in a little extra. ;)
The one thats 10 days younger hasnt gotten taller but is getting crazy wide. and the sugar leaves are stacking up. I cant keep water in the pot either. Ive defoled her twice and its just a canopy. She may be 3x the yield of her big sis. :)

Dude can i ask.. What is the reason behind trimming all the lower leaves ?
does it help in decreasing vertical growth since you're limited in height ?

Wanting to do too much. :) :)
But seriously, the one that looks like a jacked up bonzai tree, pretty much is. :rofl: Its kinda an experiment because My goal was achieved in like 30 days. All i wanted to do was see if I could sex a plant. These are just bagseeds(although very nice ones IMO). After that I wanted to try some stuff. It has definately affected the growth, positively and negatively. I plan on a detailed report upon completion.
Or If I get into that MK I have stashed back....

It greatly benefited the lower budsites, but because I didn't have a system, it stunted the overall growth. I think I figured out when the best time to defol is because the othr that i tried it on is exploding. As long as the upper budsite has a leaf that it can "turn into" a fan by enlarging, it will. If there is a 3 leafer kinda sticking out both sides then the fan under it can go. The plant puts all its energy into that area, which also just happenes to be the bud. In 2-3 days Ive had distinct fans firing out.

trimming the lower leaves lets light reach the lower bud and smaller popcorn buds, so they will be able to grow larger.
 
good weed to you Spimp:)
 
Ty sir! So just now I checked my ladies and the oldest is up to about 3% ambers. Noticed alot more today than yesterday. I also have random sugar leaf that has like 10 amber trics in a little patch. I wanna smoke that patch. :) Looks like I need to get my arse in gear on the drying rig... Also my fan leaves on the oldest have been coming off if I apply any type of pressure at all. They were severely damaged and probably should have been removed earlier but It causes some concern. Because I know the plant is gonna try to use up every last bit of 'fuel' it has, but theres barely any leaves left on this girl... Im going back in the lab to further explore some trics and do a little closer examination.

Is this the natural yellowing you speak of Scarfinger?
Just looking for some affirmation.. :)

edit: Im pretty sure the tips are from nute burn. I kept them at near OD leavels for a while...

Taken from a 2yr old camera phone. I need a better one quickly so I can shoot the final session! May be here before I know it...
:yummy::reading420magazine:
 
I agree. Waiting to get in the window is more important than having some drying.
The difference between the Two plants is roughly 10-14 days. The Bonzai has probably 10x the trics as the other but the camera sucks and I didnt take any pics of the 'tops' today.Thats for Saturday. :) Behind the sugar leaves the younger girl is covered in solid milky trics. Shes definately not ready. I plan a week from saturday on the oldest unless I wake up to 20% one day before then. I am gonna do the 48 hr dark when they get to about 20%. At least thats the current plan!
:bigtoke::idea: :oops: :bitingnails:

^^ sums up my grow so far :)
 
Looking good spimp :) patiance is a virtue. The money shot lol I love the money shot haha temps must be down were u are? As I see no ghetto temp control device lol mine works great untill they thaw out :) 2 gren dots ma man high 5 lol
 
:thanks: :high-five:
The added size of the box has reduced the temperature alot. The barrier where the lights are has a fan blowing up, into it and it is probably 10 degrees F higher than temp in the box by the girls. Im using the GTCD for nights now, just to cool them down. This morning when I kicked on the fan and lights it the temp of the exiting air was probably in the high 50's lol. Its only gonna gt hotter here the next few days/weeks (80-90's) so last night was the bottom end of the curve for night temps.
Ya I woke up to the rep upgrade. :) Not sure I earned it, but ive learned so much in the last two months I am in shock as to how nieve I was. :thanks::420::theband:
 
thats eiter to much potassium or not enough zinc.
it maybe lock out cause by to much potassium Justa guess:)
