So this is what my current feminized run looks like. Plants between 3 and 5 weeks of flower. I have 3 different chocolope NL phenos, and Chocolope NL #1 is the pollen donor, her one branch was treated and the other left untreated with STS. Then there is an OKC, Slurricane, And Green Crack. Pollination has started. ...

Whatsup my 420 family As the title indicates, this is going to be my First Outdoor Growing Experience I must admit, I have 2 plants busy growing in organic potting soil that I have been using as test subjects These were just 2 seeds I got from some decent buds I got a little while back, decided to try the germination process and planting them. I wanted to do this first, as I didn't want to go all out and purchase seeds and medium when I couldn't get the first steps half right None the less, this will be Officially, my First Outdoor Grow Diary. So lets kick this Dairy off with the seeds The seeds have all been purchased through Biltong and Budz (for the first time buying seeds, I must say, these guys delivered some awesome service). They are also all Photoperiod seeds. Banana Kush [Feminized] Sunset Sherbet [Feminized] Platinum OG [Fast Feminized] Bruce Banner [Fast Feminized] As for the Medium, I went with Freedom Farms Premium Classic Living Soil. For Nutrients, I have gone with Terra Aquatica Pro Organic Grow and Bloom. For Pots, I have decided to go with 2 x 40l Fabric Pots and 2 x 30l Plastic Pots, wanted to experiment between the 2. Excuse the pictures, taking pics isnt a specialty of mine but I will try get better shots as these ladies grow Just some random shots of a seed during the germination stage (all my other pics were blurry AF), Medium, Nutrients, and their homes.

Here is the Sluri mother. These seeds are goung to be shit hot. I am definately running some in the April May Flower slot.

What up Fam. Grow update. Sweet tooth. Week 6 day 36

Looks like plain coco, which has no goodness in, you'll need to add and increase as the plant grows now. If I'm correct, in my assessment Added, yip, your lower ears below the leaves are yellowing, to indicate they are now not able to feed the plant going forward, so you'll have to take over and feed and increase.

Just did the first transplant now. Didn't go as smoothly as I wanted but I'm sure she'll be fine. These are under a 240W Quantum @ 50% 24/7, with two oscillating clip fans on either side alternating every 12 hours :)

@DamDave Part of the beauty with LEDs is the fact that they can be adjusted soo easily and this helps improve overall efficiency in ones grow. Why run 240W when you have seedlings and are veggings when you can get away with far less? Dim that 240W LED QB down to say 40w for seedling, bump up a bit as the plants get bigger, and once you've started flowering you can incrase it even more. Also despite the fact that your typical QB is rated around 240W, running it at that is not necessarily needed and is likely not going to give you the best efficiency. LEDs are more efficient when run at lower watts as @growopz has mentioned. Heat will decrease the life of your diodes (cause them to degrade quicker) and will also lead to higher power consumption. PPFD output is not linear, yes the PPFD will increase as the watts increase but you end up with diminishing returns as you get closer to the max rated power of the diodes. My last grow I ran my QBs at 60W each during flower, as opposed to their rated power handling of 120W and results were pretty good. Obviously everyones situation is different and the size of the tent and number of QBs inside the space etc. all make a big difference to but I ended up with an efficiency of just over 1.4g/w and I had some hiccups with the plants I was running and some strains were poor yielders (one yielded a mere 7g dry, my best yielding strains were 140g dry per plant) in comparison to the others. So it could have been improved upon very easily by running better plants and filling the space (one was a male, and another was very small but couldn't put off flowering for one more plant). Perhaps I will repeat the test when I do another grow - see what I can achieve with 60W per QB (half power) and will post up the results... but this will be in a good few months unfortunately.

Nice weather again today and a second day of basking in the sun, hopefully, Wil do the germantion process a world of good.. Expect these babies to be showing face by Tuesday... holding thumbs..

I took some soil off the top 2 days ago as I realized I had planted her way too deep. She's not looking too well but I saw this morning that she sprouted, so moved to the tent with the other two.

What a bunch of beauts T! The love and passion is shining through these plants Genuinely looking forward to some test runs of my own

Just WOOOOW! Plant porn!

The sudden dip in night temps are responsible. It's interesting to note that both CNL #2, and #3, as well as the GC, are much less sensitive to the cold and are lush green. While CNL #1 and OKC, having a similar reaction, and Slurricane is having the hardest time with the cold. Still makes for pretty viewing though.

That's right

Very nice! Which breeders are Slurricane and Orange Kush Cake from? In House Genetics & Ethos respectively?

Thats Dank @Dank

Such eye candy bro.

Chocolope NL #3 has really tight noding.

Here is another picture of her in the full sun today.

Been thinking about a waterlogged situation at the bottom of the mound with my soil being a bit on the clayish side. To try avoid this i dug to ground level, added a good amount of perlite, perhaps 20 or 30 liters worth. I tilled this over before adding back the soil that was removed from the top heap.

Recovery after the LST. Still no idea when power is going to return...

I hear you, but give yourself more credit brother, there is plenty decent about this time too Those colours alone, call for a beautiful finished product and joint

Awe Brother. Might be a bit early. But good luck.

Nice brother, Will keep track of your grow and progress, and wish you the best of luck, The community are here to assist you with anything you need to know or advise you may require. Peace✌ Added, I do understand you are trying things and have done the same too, but if you looking at being scientific or precise, then you'd want to use the same strain for the pot test, and not just 2 different seeds of the same, but 2 clones of the same health, from the exact same plant.

-grow update- Day 16 , they are responding very well to the higher strength nutrients and warmer weather , the difference in 3 days of growth is pretty insane Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She should turn it around in the next day.

I'd say, first start with this comment... By putting them into bigger pots with added perlite to the mix, 50/50 or more if you like... You cant over perlite, essentially Then, very small feed of that food, you can always go more later, you cant take away when it's too much and burns your roots and leaves.

They are looking phenomenal! Picture perfect, all of them

Here is the star of my small early sift from last season's breeding. Smellz as good as she looks, new mom in the stable i think.

Seedsman Purple Bud. Backpain is gone and we have no insomniacs in the house anymore. Hahaha.[emoji3] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I think i just get lucky.. I also have lots of questions all the time and seek help from others.. Your ladies are looking amazing however with all the issues you have been getting.. DAMN!!!!

Purple Afghan Kush from Dinafem. Never had a better good night smoke and it helps with my back too.

Heri from Sannies is tops for insomnia. All weed is good for pain...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys Growing indoors in 5X5 .. 600 watt used 1st week of veg and 1000 watt used 2nd 3rd 4th week during veg 600 watt used 1st 10days of flower and 1000watt hps used for the rest of flowering Light is aircooled 12000 btu portable aircon coz of the ridiculous Temps here in durban (I love the warm weather personally ) Average Temps wer 30 -32 degrees Celsius Grown in coco +perlite 20L airports and 15L autopots GHE floracoco grow +bloom also used used ripen during 3rd and 4th week flower and atami bloombastic till harvest, oh and flushed her for 4days b4 harvest Strain was critical + 2.0 from dinafem These autos can take a beating and half!!! This strain gave me 3 phenotypes from 10 plants, 2 were scrapped early in the grow 1 pure indica short and stocky 1 sativa dominant tall and slender and the rest were a good mix id say 65 % indica 35% sativa mix.. Was a strong high not the strongest but up there never the less overall a very very g Final dry weight 783g (not my best but more than enough for my smoke) This grow was 1 yr or so back so I look forward to my new grow.. same set up just diff lights.. bought 4 X240watt quantum boards V3 from Meijiu, they should arrive in 10days Uhm should i have posted this somewhere else ? Oops

What type of extract? Etanol or Butane? Do you want to distill the extract to make THC vape cartridges?

Awe we can talk about it and hopefully watering and IPM will be minimal so we can spend our time chowing cake instead

Waddup bro.. Okay, I'm sure everyone has a lot of advice for you, but first let's work on what you need to know. For 6 weeks, I would say that's just below average size for an untrained tree... Could've been bigger with more light, don't beat yourself up over it, other things make a difference as well. As to whether they're female, take pics of the to-be bud site, not where the fan leaf meets the main stem... We need to look for pistils or sacs at this point, not really preflowers - since they're 6 weeks old, they're most likely mature already. If those were mine, I would consider topping them once, using some LST, then veg for another week or slightly more and initiate flowering after that. Reason being to control height and get more than 3 main colas from 3 trees. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

I feel ur pain bro. Im also waiting on a seed.
