The BS Journal - Bag Seed - LED - Soil - Frankenpot - 1st Run In A Long Time

[slowlearner]

Trying to understand something. I see that you and many many others are starting the plants in solo-cups. But doesn't that stunt the plant with at least a week every time you re-pot it? I always plant the seeds in the pots the plants will grow out their lives in. That is one of my tricks for speed-growing

This is something I struggled with on my current grow. I had only grown outside before,and they started and finished in 5 gal pots. They always produced what I thought was an adequate amount, and the method made sense to me. Then I started reading things like this, How Do I Transplant Marijuana for Faster Growth? | Grow Weed Easy , saying you can actually speed up growth by transplanting properly. So I tried it out, and never saw any slow down. I thought I was done when they went into 7 gal pots, Until I was advised that I should up pot from the 7 gal that I had planned on finishing them in before I flipped. I happened to still have the potted bones from a outdoor Northern Lights grown last summer, she produced 8 ounces, but when I pulled her from the pot I saw this.

At that point I realized lost potential. I'm not a speed grower, and I think I would have to start in a much larger pot than the current 17 gal ones they are finishing in now if I never transplanted to achieve maximum potential.

Yeah i gotta agree with boom and slowlearner, never had a problem with transplanting from the solo cups.

Good Morning everyone,
Was away for the weekend, got back last night, and all looks good, Bel needed another gal of water. The 4 CFLs are doing good, so is solo, Sarah's clones are growing now, one really took off, so I lowered the light some, maybe will drop it more tonight.

The CFL experiment....

Miss Solo

Now for Bel, She (hopefully) still refuses to show me anything. So we wait... and BTW, 12/12 started on 5/1. I wonder if i should drop it to 11/13?

And, saved the best for last. Sarah. She is looking lovely.

3 weeks under 12/12 without showing sex is unbelievable!
That being said, they all look nice and healthy. Well done!

 

[Skullman420]

Wow! That's a long time under 12/12 without getting flowers or balls. Are you 100% certain there are no light leaks, or some equipment that emit light inside with the grow? So little is needed to stop them from flowering

I havent really gone through the tent 100%, I did tape over the leds on the power bar, but I didn't think any light that got through the zipper, if any, would matter. I will get a blanket to throw over the side to be sure. Thanks

 

[BoomShakalaka]

could only find one spare blanket, will get some from wally world tomorrow.

Lights on, there is a stirring, cannot tell yet, but there is a sign....

 

[BoomShakalaka]

Morning all, not much to report except Bel was half tipped over, had to support her a bit so main stem didnt tip that tiny netpot... I have an idea for a permanent solution for tonight.

Added water last night, was holding off on nutes until I saw something, I am thinking maybe I see something, will know for sure tonight, then I will just goto bloom nutes, F any more transition... if confirmed, she is huge, dont need any more stretch.

Iphone, in a case, under LED, takes crappy pics....

 

[LaidBackLeo87]

Ill never claim to be an expert boom, but it looks like a couple gorgeous white pistils!

 

[BoomShakalaka]

Thanks Leo, I am hoping so, and it almost looks like a bit of sugar on the fans.. just a few specks, but,,,,

If anybody deserves a female its you man, looking at that pic i feel pretty confident congratulating you!

 

[BoomShakalaka]

Tracking says that my seeds arrived at the local post office this morning, and is out for delivery!!!

unfortunately, no one home today to sign for it, but that means I should have it tomorrow. (unless my son is till home when they attempt to deliver)

Either way, new seeds today or tomorrow!!!!!

 

[BoomShakalaka]

coincidences? hmmmm, 2 days after layering a blanket over the sides of the flower tent (thanks DeVille)... and definite pistils. so, coincidence? hmmmm


I present the over-grown, rather large, Bel.

changed out her water, even though she is just starting to show, I changed her over to bloom formula. might have been a bad idea, but I dont need much more stretch out of her,, lmao

 

[greengostarr]

Congrats on the new girl

She looks healthy as fuck!

And yeah, coincidence. Cannabis can be an amazing girl, but she can also be predictable to some extent and I can assure you flowering could not have commenced within two days of you covering with the blanket as a result of said covering! The flowering process is the culmination of many days if not weeks of activity wherein everything changes at a cellular level.

Good morning,

The 4 CFL's are doing pretty good, C4 is a but funky, but I think it was cause I was lazy when I fed them a few days ago, and the dirt was dry, so the leaves got soaked as the top of the cup filled. even though the solution was super light, it still funked up the leaves.

the two girls in the tent....

and some pics of Sarah, lights flipped on 5/1, but didnt start showing until the 15th, so day 10 flower?

 

[lukebro]

Very nice bs! Are both your girls in soil??

Sarah is in soil, Bel is in the DWC franken-bucket 2.0

 

[Gauge Steel]

Soil and DWC at the same time! Genius. I regret it took me so long to find this one.
If you dont mind i would like to sit in.

Better late than never, although you missed the long drawn out sausagefest,, lol
Welcome Gauge, glad to have you.

the cfl plants are looking great, im looking forward to seeing the results. i know theres still a bit of time till we know those little guys sex but how crazy would it be if you got 4 females? i know technically theres a 50-50 chance, but on your last batch sex definitely wasn't 50-50 lol
