A bunch of seeds came in today. So I planted one of each but two of these AUTO CARAMELICIOUS FEMINIZED.
1 AMNESIA HAZE FEM, 1 GRANDADDY PURPS FEM, 1 WHITE WIDOW MAX AUTO FEM, 1 WHITE LSD AUTO FEM, 1 AUTO K47 FEM.
All my plants seem to grow slower than everyone else. I use to garden years ago in a field. not in a closet.
My last grow was OG Kush reg. seeds and was a male. free seed was a girl. Now I'm using auto and fem. so I;m not wasting my time with raising any more boys. Intend to use my 2 x 4 grow tent for blooming (18hrs) and room for growing (12hrs).
Fish tank for sprouts and clones.
I'm still using the FloraGro, Micro, and Bloom for hydro and dirt, but for the Coco I'm using Canna Coco. I'm watching what others are doing while trying to learn the best way to grow.
Ok what i was looking for in others is fimming procedure. Did not find exactly what I was looking for. Scared to cut but I did. I cut the Caramelious in Coco first it was the biggest. After a couple of days She is looking nice so I did the rest.
These plants seem to be growing faster than the first Grow. 4/19 all were topped. After some growth it became obvious. the caramelious is so thick I'm directing the growth of the limbs outward to give the enter growth room to grow.
A lot of growth this week. I added and extra gallon between the three Coco's. I may have been starving them for water. I'm using an Auto watering system (homemade) and have been adding time-on a little extra every week. So at this time I'm watering three times a day (every 8 hrs) for four minutes each time. the plants are setting in tubs on 13" hubcaps so they wont ever set in stagnate water. When the plants were little some overflow would come out the bottom. I used it on outside plants in the yard. I haven't had any in a while adding an extra gallon and still haven't seen any overflow. Overflow is over watering. trying to find happy amount. But it drains so you really can't over water? 5/15/18 now an inch a day.
Leaves are drooping shortly after lights go out. I seen this with my DWC OGkush but just went away. I stop giving nutrients first. That didn't do it. Now I have 1/2 nutrients in feeder but cut the feeder off. I think I have been drowning my plants so im laying off for a day.
Ok. Week 16. I am starting week 10 of flowering on a 8 to 9 week flowering plant. It is close but I will not make the same mistake twice. This plant will go full term. My first grow I was impatient and picked my first to early. The trichomes where cloudy put not amber as you can see in photos above the trichomes are changing increasing the THCA.
Good body stone, Head stone, and sometimes a Headrush after hit. The Trichomes are mostly cloudly some amber, maybe 40% to 50% amber. Wife and I were happy with taste and stone to go ahead and harvest it. I have been sampling as we go and just getting better. Better than commercialized flower. I will take the caramelious Coca next but I will wait to at least 50% of trichomes turn amber. I have sampled it. It is a very intense high, Maybe a week or two on it.
With the grow room empty I can use it to dry. The first caramelious dryed in three days so now I have a humidifier, I had purchased a dehumidifier, but it's like buying PH solution. You always need one or the other. I alway buy the wrong one first. I did not over dry it, It turned out not being harsh. now the humidifer I have maintains a 55%RH. this should dry smooth.
Very good strain. Helps with my back pain. A very high yield. 17 oz in one plant. Sorry but I can relax. I have enough smoke to last a while. more than ever expected. Time to start cooking with cannabis. See yaw next year.
Im new to strains"learing". Im looking for a strain that produces rock hard buds. I had one strain from my last grow with hard bud "white widow" . GDP,AK47,caramel all have fluffy bud. good smoke but not what Im looking for. thinking goralla glue.
Any sugestion?
Hello @F1yboy420 ! Skunk #1 from sensi seeds has the most dense buds i have ever seen. Not very big but very heavy. Literally like little rocks. Happy growing ! 👊
Flyboy420, the term "fimming procedure" simply means "Fuck I Missed". As you know, when a new sprout has grown above a set of leaves, there is a small portion of stalk & the new leaves. All Fimming is, is NOT cutting below the new set of leaves but, cutting at the point where they are growing from. That clump of new leaves are growing is simply cut above the joint, NOT below the joint

@F1yboy420, Well, truth be told you have so many strains going at once. The answer to your question is not easy. Each strain has different nutrient needs. I would suggest you seek out diaries for each strain and look at what they are using at various intervals (weeks). Performing LST, you need to be very careful that you do not pull the branch to the breaking point. It's actually better to do it in stages. Pull them out 1/4 of what you wish to achieve, then in a few days do it again until you reach the point where you are comfortable. I grow a lot of pure landrace Sativa's so when harvesting, I select long thin branches and let them dry out. I use these by bending them into a V and placing over each branch I am LST'ing. This way I can simply push the sticks downward into the soil.
Take this advice as a friendly suggestion but, I would NOT grow so many various strains at one time. The logistics of formulating proper nutrients for each will drive you mad. Find one or two strains with similar nutrient needs and grow them out. I wish you well.
@R_Owl_Mirror, yes that is what I was looking for! Any suggestions on Food or am I OK.
Now that they are fimed I was thinking to strap the branches out (LST)?
Thanks for the Info.
Flyboy420 In a response to bobo420 you mention using a Fish tank as a planter?
Does it have holes in the bottom to allow for drainage?
If you are short on pots, take a coffee can, cut the bottom off and use it with the plastic lid on the bottom with some drain holes cut out of it. Then when you want to transplant you will not disturb the root system as much. Just let the soil dry out about 80% before pushing the soil and plant out the top.
@R_Owl_Mirror, LOL yes I'm busted. I am throwing beans. I do understand and when my tent is free I would like to grow one particular plant. I could start it in my fish tank . I have product for Coco coir or hydro or Dirt. I am trying to determine how much longer the free seed needs.
I would think in a month. I can message when I'm ready. 😁
@F1yboy420, A wise man once said, when training for the Triathlon, Practice ONE event until you perfect it. Then Practice the next & so on. Once you have Mastered each event individually, it's time to train performing them together, in concert until you master the Triathlon."
I do wish you well but, I'm afraid you are using the scattergun approach. Throwing 100 beans at a target, hoping one will hit it's mark. Each strain has their own particular needs. Growing so many different strains at once, you will never be able to meet the individual needs of one particular strain. Some like a lot of Nutes, some don't. Some like a lot of water, some don't. Some like the PH at 5.5ppm and some like the PH at 6ppm. By applying one standard for all strains, you will end up going mad, going broke & ending up with a dime bag of swag. Again, please do not take my advice as a negative but, as a gesture of assistance, since you say "you're desperate for a harvest". I will watch and see, maybe I'm full of Bull? I do wish you all the best of luck!
@Flyboy420. Re LST snapping, Try using needle nose pliers. Wrap the teeth in electrical tape or shrink wrap so they don’t cut into the stem. Squeeze gently. Rotate and repeat. Branch droops but doesn’t break.
I use forceps. .
@growdoctordc, That is not what did it. I pulled all branches at once. That may have did it or just to much pressure, I came back the next day to find it broke. plant is doing well just wont get that bud.😪
