Strickly420's First Grow From Seed 4 Strains All Feminized

[Vick074]

Thanks guys I will just flush again with ph'd water, just what comes out of my tap. I will do a 5gal flush, the pots are somewhere between 3-4gal, is that enough?

@Vick Im taking the pics with my android 2 phone I should mess with the white Balance to get better pics? Lol

Thanks guys!

Just when you're shooting pics under your HPS. It can make it hard to see trichs properly, especially when they're turning amber. Because your light is putting out so much warmth.. See if you can fiddle with the white balance settings. or I think there are some better camera apps for android 2 that you can download that have more white balance settings then the stock camera app.

 

[Strickly420]

Thanks vick I will check out what I can download cuz the stock camera doesnt have white balance.

Plants look awsome man
i really like the Himalayan's i dont quite know what it is that makes me like them so much..i think it might be their stoutness they look very sturdy like they can support a lot of weight.
Also like ur Citical a lot, I been trying to hunt down a Citical+ cutting for 6 months with no sucess, one day i'll find her.

Thanks man! I am a little on the fence so far about the himalayans. 2 smell absolutely awesome, really strong jackk herrer/trainwreck smell and the nugs are forming just like jack.

That's the best pic of it I have been able to get of the nug formation on the himalays.

But I totally feel you on how strong the himalayns look, and the secondary nugs down the branches are pretty massive IMO. In march we will be popping our 6 last Himalayn Seeds. I already know they will love being topped just because of the way they grow. We plant on topping them so they have about 8 tops and then we will let them veg until they are 3 ft tall. We want to let them get big so we can see the true capabilities. I've read a few places that if you don't let them get talll then you won't see their massive nugs and yields.

We were glad to get the critical+ seeds for free with our purchase. Those ladies sure have been putting on weight these are last couple weeks and are giving the bigger plants a run for their money lol I cant wait to see how it smokes. I will be atleast partial harvesting C1 next week to dry some out for my birthday weekend in vegas. It wont be very cured but It will beat not having smoke! Hopefully you can find a cut of this strain, it has been fun to watch grow.

 

[Delocated420]

For sure man, half the time i smoke my harvest so fast i dont even get time to cure anything unless you count it sitting in a jar while i smoke out of it haha
and how lucky is that man, u got critical for free
ive often considered ordering beans but man its just a sketchy idea to me, im not lookin for big jail time id like to keep it as minimal as i can lol

 

[Strickly420]

Yea we were scared too, especially when it sat in customs for 3 days lol but when we saw how it came I was impressed. I plan on ordering more in a couple months to get all the mother strains we want. I just did a lot of reading and saw that hardly anyone has been confiscated. *knock on wood*

I cant wait to try these strains, I havent smoked any of these strains before!

 

[Strickly420]

Soooo Im either pHing wrong or I have too much perlite in my pots to get an accurate test or the soil meter we bought sucks.I tested the ph in 3the spots in each pot like it said and between each test I wiped clean the prods. Any ways most of them had 2 to 3 different pHs and not one was 6.5 they were 6.9 and up! Bagh I need to order those electric meters tonight.

Also 2 of the himalayans are yellowing and showing mn/k def baaaaaggghhhh I dont know what happened with the ph this grow. I alsways use this soil mix the only thing I changed is I used distilled water most of this grow....but I thought the flush would have fixed it.

 

[Strickly420]

Quick update want somequick feedback I will post more pics in the am.

The fruit spirit looks good, the trichs are cloudin up. how much longer you guys think oh and that brown lookin tips on the nug is actually some purple

Here's how the 2 himalayans are yellowing(just one in the pic) what should I do giving my ph problems?

Oh and I took the pics under regular to help correct mmy white balance so you guys could see it better. But it still looks different in person.

 

[Vick074]

I'd just wait a few days for the soil to dry right out.
I'm betting they'll be nice and dark green again once the flush has run it's course..
While you're waiting for it to dry out, get yourself a digital PH pen.
Apply half strength nutes @ 6.5 PH.
As for when they're ready, I'd say 1 1/2 - 2 weeks?

 

[Strickly420]

Thanks vick. Im not very patient and want to fix things right away, thanks for helping keep me calm I will work on getting that ph pen but So far I gotta wait until my next check cuz I had to get xmas stuff ordered so it would be here on time. Im pretty confident Im phing correctly....thanks to many years of chemistry classes lol I hate chemistry Bio alll the way BABY. Sorry for that tangent

Anyhoo later I will post more pics and tell the plan for next grow as we will start germinating them today! Yay!

 

[Strickly420]

Alright so today we are popping
10 SleestackxSkunk (reg seeds)
6 Faceoff Og(seeds from stressed female clones)

We are hoping for 12 females to flower. Basically the plan is to top these guys and get atleast 9 under good lighting and then the outside ones will be used solely for wax and all trim for butter/edibles.

Heres pics from yesterday day 43 of flower
HimalayanKwish I had clones of this one, would love to be topped!)

Critical 1

Fruit Spirit

Power Plants

happier Himalayans

Not so happy

Anyways hoping to chop the critical 1 and Fruit spirit weds so I can qquick dry for vegas.

 

[Strickly420]

I couldnt help myself and took a nug from the fruit spirit, but it opened up more light for lowwer branches....thats my story and Im sticking to it! Lol The thc is turning translucent and since its a sativa Im hoping its good! Lol heres pics

Here's the seeds I only chose 6 from the pile and then the 10 in the little baggy

Hope you liked the pics

 

[Vick074]

tasty looking sampler nug strictly.
Wish I had some new seeds!!
hear that santa?

 

[Strickly420]

I think the Fruit Spirit is ready I found a few amber trichs and the rest are mostly cloudy, being its a sativa I think its ready what do you think?

Critical + 1 is still working on clouding up, we want lots of ambers on this one.

Im pretty excited about this fruit spirit. Its been a leader since the beginning and is ripining much faster than critical and the critical was supposed to finish first! But the tester nug from the fruit spirit was impressive. We dried infront of the fire place in a brown bbag and its dried over 8 hrs. It had good flavor and wasnt harsh even with the quick dry. The high was very up with a body numb, should be great for vegas!

Positive vibes everyone and lmk if you think its too early to harvest the FS

 

[Strickly420]

Gonna chop her right now!

 

[Strickly420]

Check the guys on the tv they look like they are gawwking at the nugs lol

She's chopped and drying, left most of the leafs on because royalqueen reccomended it, says it helps develop the flar. Needless to say I'm pleasantly pleased with how this plant turned out. Can't way to

Positive vibes and sweet dreams!
