The long Journey

Recommended Posts

  It all started with a bunch of humble bagseed from sazi  :-bankie

  In the pursuit of a dream to produce good product and be self sustainable, went head on into this project.

  This babies you are about to see were all "Sacrificed" for two main purposes, to iron out grower mistakes and to find a super female i could take to flower.

  Started with potting soil from supermarket, tap water, ghetto super hot cfl rig, poor ventilation, lotz of stretching .... and killed most of them :sillyass

  Second run, got some Biobizz Grow&Bloom, a bit of coco and perlite, new diy CfL setup with 8 x 23w a lot of reading and YouTubing, and sort of started all again, Seeds were available, since i had no budget to toke seedless anyways.

  5 candidates out of 30+ went into veg, while i plan/engineer the flower room and spend more  :-2cents with the hydro-shops.

  Unfortunately, out of the 5 super seedlings, only 1 turned out to be a Female. She is now in the newly made flower room , Day 16, with 400w Air-cooled Hps all for herself.

 

  So this is my beautiful Lady. She paved the way for some Awesome stuff to come...

Hey assassin.

I cloned this baby while in veg, the clone was then neglected for a few weeks because of time limitations, so it is going slow, but im working on it,  i think it is gonna bounce back.

Not sure what i am going to do with it tho. Was thinking of experiment a bit with hydro. Maybe a DWC bubbler  :-puffin

@Delta - I would def Reccomend to build a DWC for a first time hydro system. it will work and you will learn. its also very hard to fuck a DWC. But you HAVE to have a Ph meter to be accurate.

 

Hit me up if you need any questions answered.

Thanks Al Hassan. I am actually  feeding the clone with Nutriplex, as i intend to take it to a Hydro adventure. It has recovered well and is growing.

 

Hey 4207365, Ph and EC meters are part of my arsenal already. Been messing with them for a month now.  I have already built the DWC system , just waiting for my clone to grow more roots.

I'm at day 37 with my plants now and I know how it feels. My plants smell so damn good but I cant touch them for ages still :'( anyways the wait is obviously worth it.

 

I'm afraid if that is Swazi you're gonna be waiting for a VERY long time time still. Definitely another 34 days and probably still quite a bit more. Swazi takes forever to flower mate

At closer glance I don't think that is an outright sativa though. Some of those lower leaves look quite fat so it's probably some Hybrid which means it will flower sooner than a swazi but don't take my word for it :-puffin

 

Edit* - I'll hazard a guess at 60-75 day flowering time

Swazi landrace takes anything from 4-6 months to finish.

 

The only thing to do is watch the pistils. Once most of them have browned,  the calyxes will start swelling. Only start checking trichomes once this swelling (Senescence) has reached the top of the buds.

 

If you dont have a loupe, get one.

 

On a landrace you should be aiming for mostly amber.

Tks guys.

 She was indeed selected from a bunch for being slightly darker and with more indica vibe. she does not have that overwhelming smell tho.

got myself a mini microscope n  will be inspecting those trichs often for optimal harvest time.

 4 months sound like a lot of time.... oh boy...and that is a problem, since i got some better genetics in little pots, waiting in line to switch from CFL's to HID.

Gents, my humble bagseed is growing bananas. :(  

   She is @ day 50 (12/12)

Today i spotted one sticking out of 1 top, plucked it to get a closer look and it is indeed a penis, 2 in fact, peeping out of the calyx :cursing, further inspection revealed a few seeds already forming in buds.

Last week there was a calyx explosion, buds got fatter and i was in heaven looking at it, i guess i missed the nannas because of it.

Pistils are now 70% white and 30% gold

Trichomes are  60% clear, 40% milky,   had to search for a while to find just very few amber.

 

What is the absolute earliest moment i can harvest this baby guys? How would you address this situation?

I do have better genetics running in little pots(SSH, SLH, WW) and this lady is somewhat using valuable real estate.

I`m even considering finishing her outside. 

wut u think?

I just endured almost 13 weeks of growing to find bananas near the end on a Sativa also...although it was just my first grow I learnt alot..I cut around the 12 or 13 week mark when my leaves began to yellow.

 

If u see the end is too far then just chop and put ur new ones in or wait it out for a few weeks, but as tote said they can take long to finish, mine was not done even by the 13 week mark and thats just too long for something u dno what you growing...

 

I would gladly spend the 13 weeks when i know whats coming out..

 

Thats my 2cent

 

Peace buddy and good luck

Thanks for the reply brother, i was following your grow and had fingers crossed so my bagseed wouldn hermie on me. well...

 

Long journey Cut Short. 

 

 This dilemma in a nutshell, is just that i got attached to her  :'(  :'(  :'(

She was a test plant from the start, and she did her part in "the" Long journey. Out or respect, i will not chop, i`ll allow her to finish outside. and see what happens. planning on a frame to protect her from bugs.

 I am exited tho, because now i will focus all my  real estate and love to the prized babies :rastabanana
