After 2days in the dark now we are starting with 12/12... Did remove some leaves just to be sure light is coming everywhere to the plants. Also added a second light so now we got 300w power.. I'll pinch now everything coming upside of the net, to adjust my canopy. Side branching is starting well, some are already touching the net.

Temperatures are rising here... I cannot go under 28°C... And they look like they do not enjoy the heat.. I'll maybe change the lights for a 400w cob, better quality.. Trichomes are coming nicely, not so pugnent but it's only the beginning... Tomorow i'll post better pics, lights off and close-ups ! Edit : thanks to the big storm this night, finally there's now 24°C in the grow tent. Clones are nearly ready, will have to repot them this week

One week ago i switched the ladies in night-shift, now lights are on in the night, easier to keep temps lower.. So the girls are fine, buds and trichomes are exploding.. I gave all my clones to my bro, just kept two for outside. Happy growing everyone ! Edit: started to put some colloidal silver just on one bud to have some femenised pollen, and make maybe a cross between lemon cheese and hulkberry, it should be a tasty result !

Michkastarted grow question 7 years ago
I did start put a little bit of colloïdal silver on one bud.. My question is: will the all plant go hermies or just the stem ? How long does it takes before seeing some male flowers ?

Hi there! Very interesting operation in here! Only the stem you spray should go hermie. Keep spraying daily until you see the beginning of male pollen sacs forming, usually around 10-14 days. I'll be around, keep us up-to-date, and happy growing!

Not so much to say this week.. I think i got two different phenos from the lemon cheese, on their website they say 9/11weeks... I think one will be ready at 10, and the others one or two weeks later.. So in same time as silver haze.. Anyway they're looking good.. What do you think ? ;)

Ok last week of light feeding for 3 ladies, one of the franco's lemon cheese is a early girl, i stopped feeding earlier this week because i already have some amber thrichs ! Happy growing everyone ! Edit from 22 of june: 10days ago i cutted a very small bud from the earliest pheno.. I just tried a smoke test 5minutes ago... Holly crap i'm wasted hahaha ! Curing will be the key for the lemon flavor.. But cheese is definitly present right now !

Allright everything is good, did a little defoliation two days ago to help lower buds fatten'up ! No nutrients after today.. They will be ready in two weeks maximum... The smell is awesome.. I think will finish whith 100gr of dry, rockhard buds ! Would be perfect... Let cross the fingers, happy growing everyone!

This lady do not enjoy too high temperatures, she took her time ! Greenhouse said 9to11weeks, now i understand why.. There is clearly two phenotypes, first one bushy and rock hard buds '' indica's signature ''... The second one took two more weeks, and flowers are totally different.. They smell like lemon skittles... 😍👍🔥 As always the less is the better with sativa dominant plants and nutrients so my advice is stay cool with pk boosters !

Sooo... After 10days of drying in brown paper bags, finally i got 189gr of nice buds, with a good lemon/citrus smell ! I have to say that it's not so strong, it's a high stone and not a body stone.. You can smoke it all day long ! See you for another diary ! Thanks for following this grow !

You should let them grow another 4 weeks, then you can smash them under the net and let them grow another 2 weeks more true the net. This is how you ScrOG bro 😉
JUNGLE_B4RNS
JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7 years ago
@Michka, this is what the ScrOG is used for, you can lower your plants to half size in middle of Veg 😉
Michka
Michkacommented7 years ago
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,I hear you, but i have definitly not enough place for that.. The tent is 60x60, and the plant cannot be too high too.. So i will maybe give one more week veg, but then it will be a real nightmare to contain everything in the tent ! And i'm just under the roof and summer is comming... It can be very hot in there if i wait too much !

Michka
Michkacommented7 years ago
@Stick,do you think it's a good idea to put the sprayed bud in a kind of plastic bag as soon as i see male flowers ? And i was thinking about maybe cut this stem before they open and keep it in a glass of water until they open and throw the pollen. Of course this glass will be far away from the ladies..
Stick
Stickcommented7 years ago
@Michka, Yes don't smoke it and be very careful with the pollen sacs if you're growing other babies around! Happy to help, can't wait to see how this goes 👌
Michka
Michkacommented7 years ago
@Stick, ok that's fine.. The bud i spray on is not close to the others, and i'll not smoke it for sure. I'll keep updating weekly, thanks for your answer !

PharmaZcommentedweek 67 years ago
Why the canna “aqua” line and not “coco” or “terra”?
Michka
Michkacommented7 years ago
@PharmaZ,is the terra line organic or mineral ? I think mineral is better even in soil.. Plants drink it faster
PharmaZ
PharmaZcommented7 years ago
@Michka, well I wish you good luck, I don’t like the canna terra line myself
Michka
Michkacommented7 years ago
@PharmaZ, because i used to grow with waterfarms.. I still have to finish those nutrients before i buy some other, it's not cheap ! I just wanted to retry a grow with soil..
DudeGrowsWeed
DudeGrowsWeedcommentedweek 117 years ago
Complete honesty, I’ve never used colidal silver before personally. But from what I’ve read you can spray a specific part of the plant to force that part to flip to make and start producing pollen without affecting the rest of the plant. I read it takes several weeks for the plant to switch to producing pollen and colidal silver needs to be applied daily until it flips. Also strong warnings about not smoking any part of the plant that was exposed to colidal silver. Good luck!

Hi there!! Nice grow. You suppose to spray with silver at the beginning of flowering not at the end...😕 I also turned in the past a super silver haze from green house seeds to male but the sucks had no pollen inside 😕. I lost so much time.....
Michka
Michkacommented7 years ago
@mad_scientist, i know i'm a liyyle bit late.. But i want to use the pollen for trying a cross between lemon cheese and hulkberry, so if male flowers comes a lil late, i will harvest all buds exept those, and keep it longer to finish maturing...
