Germination
4 years ago
No problem germinating, happened easy and fast. Decided im only going to do phantom cookie strain so I can grow 2 of the same and try slightly different things to learn better. Also because the bubba kush seed I found isn't looking like she doing anything while the phantom seed taproot is grown to over 1.5 inch. After noticing the bubba seed wasn't growing I decided to do both the same strain so I started another phantom cookie seed. After starting it I decided to look at the one I had already planted , and I could not locate it. so I'm starting 2 new phantom seeds , my last 2 phantoms, hope it goes well.

does anyone ever try the method of not really bury the seed? What if I was to put a 1/4 inch dent in the soil and place the seed in and not cover it up?

Assuming you could keep it moist enough, it would sprout. If there is light, though, your taproot would be exposed directly. This would be bad. The root would also have trouble driving into the dirt or might go in sideways or something. Also not good. You can do this, but it would not work as well. Cover it with a little soil. Don't pack it too tightly. Grow Marijuana 🙃

I was looking being curious and noticed the bubba kush seed still looks like it did after it germinated. Hasn't grown at all, the tail is .5 inch and not reaching down at all . Been over 3 days in soil, is this normal or should I go with a different one?

They would compete for root space, nutrients, water, growing space, light.... basically everything. Have tried it many years ago and ended up with 2 very tired and small plants and they weren't even next to each other, but approx 6 inches apart. They both struggled with fighting each other for room and ended up with about one quarter the harvest as two plants of the same strains that wee grown individually. The two that I kept together were so nice that I didn't want to chop either one down in order to end up with only one seedling in the pot, but I later very much regretted that I didn't, or that I didn't try to separate them when they were still small. I thought I would end up with a double harvest, but due to the competition for root space, light, nutrients etc, I ended up with a half harvest. I would suggest not to try it unless your have space, time, room and are not interested in a big harvest and only do it out of curiosity or as an experiment. Basically, due to competition you will end up with 2 very mediocre plants rather than two normal plants. However, growing outdoors directly in the ground, it can work and I have planted two seedlings very close to each other and tied them down in opposite directions and this worked out ok because root growth was not restricted as much, but water requirements went way up and it was not really ideal. I now would not choose to plant them in the ground any closer than 3 feet minimum, if at all possible, Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

Considering when you germinate the seed is drenched in water, Can you water the soil so it is rather damp before you plant the germinated seed? will it promote the growth of the seedling faster?

Your pots appear to be large, therefore if you're going to avoid transplants by placing seedling directly in its final pot, do not saturate completly the water. It only needs a shot glass of water It is important not to use use soil amendments that require a pre-cooking period of 30 days such as blood meal & other meals & guanos, amongst others. Otherwise roots will get burnt. If you used small pots, yes it would be a good idea to activate your soil's microbiology beforehand

I prefer to start in rapid rooter cubes. They easy to use and easy to keep moist but not overly moist. Otherwise, the paper towel method is probably best if your going to plant them straight into their final pots. It helps you control the moisture better.

You have a good handle on it. They double in size from one phase to the next generally. Sativas can even triple so its important to know what your strain will do. A website seedbank.eu (I believe, maybe seedbanks.eu) has good info and will usually tell you what to expect for a stretch. Most growers flip at around 4 weeks. This is a completely reasonable time frame. Training will draw the veg time out and if you have lots of space and strong lighting, you might wait even longer. Good luck!

A absolutely massive difference, over 4 times the yield is possible plus better penetration of light in to the canopy. Also you will be able to use a larger space usually 1.2m square (4ft x4ft) with 650w. Just make sure you have the height space to be able to hang the light slightly higher as normally with that powerful of light you need between 12-21 inches between the plants and the light depending if it is a LED or a hps. Hope this helps pal👍

Ideally you have nice intense light for both in order to maximise yield. If you have lower than ideal light level for veg, the plant will grow slower and more lanky. If you have lower than ideal light level for flowering, you will have less potent buds

I wouldn't pump co2 until your further along or your temps run a tad high. All strains are different. At 2 weeks it's a risk but could pay out. Really it's a tiny risk. Maybe run a little less than max. I use a concoction of water yeast sugar and baking soda in a home made co2 generator and usually put it in the tent at week 2 or 3

Organoman
Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
As soon as you can see it, plant it. Waiting for it to grow any length increases the risk (extremely) of causing damage to the vital and fragile/delicate root tip that determines exactly how well your plant will grow, as this is the very beginning of "embryonic" growth. I agree entirely with what the others have written, much better to use a cube/jiffy/plug etc that you can germinate the seed in and avoid handling the delicate sprout when planting the cube/jiffy/plug, rather than trying to position and bury the embryonic seedling. This way the root is also going straight down from birth, instead of sideways and having to change direction when planted, as this uses vital energy the seed could better utilise for growing. Hope this helps, Organoman. P.S - also yes, remove any type of cover as soon as the seedling breaks the surface, it will need air exchange and does not need excess humidity which can cause "damping off", whereby the stem rots from the excess humidity. Only clones require amplified humidity when first taken, due obviously to not having any roots for the first few days.

When you have 4 plants under a 650w light in a 4x4, do those 4 plants take more energy from the light than just 2 would? in other words will 2 plants use light more effective and efficient than 4 plants in the same area? or it does not make a difference?

Yes four plants under 650watts will do much better then 2. Veg times are a big factor.. longer veg times= bigger plants. Of course there is a difference between 2 and 4 plants.. It could be double the output.. You could also get a comparable output form 2 with a longer veg time. If you were thinking in terms of timing and energy costs.. It's far more efficient to run 4 plants and flip them @ 5-6 weeks.

At what week or size should you start Scrog? and after or before topping? And what height do you put the net ?
Solved

The8thChevron
The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
8-12" is the standard height to start a scrog so it depends upon when they hit that height (probably at the end of the 3rd week). You should do all of your topping first although scrog doesn't require you to top. Most people top at the 3rd node, I personally prefer the 4th although I have no reason but gut feeling for that. I've seen people wait until their plant is 2 ft tall and then carefully bend down their plant to 12" with a scrog net. Seems likely to break the main stem or tear at the roots so I'm not ballsy enough to try that. Hopefully this helps!

2000W for 18 hours a day will cost you about $150 a month on average. Your electric company may also charge you things like "delivery fee" or whatever on top of that. I would figure in about $200 a month total after all is said and done and assuming some of that 2000W will run for 24hrs a day.

Glad to see at least 2 of them have sprouted and getting better after I slightly sunburnt them. new light was more powerful than I expected I guess, and not that hot feeling under it so I had to really feel out where these girls were happy with it at this stage. recovering now and growing. Now I've had 2 seeds that I germinated that I'm not using because they either weren't going to sprout or im just too impatient to wait after 4 or 5 days and it not doing anything. Decided to only go with 3 plants, 2 in a 5 gal planter and one in im assuming closer to 8 or 10 gal. curious to see the yield difference on the bigger planter. Hopefully #3 (bubba kush) sprouts soon. so they can all start receiving nutes in about a week. Waiting on Scrog nets and co2 bags to come in also. Most my air comes from outside considering my tent is in a garage with a barley open garage door. My RH had been around 40% which is kinda low but I was living with. It started dropping to 20% and under so I added a humidifier to get it up around 55-60 started with root juice on day day 11 P1 and day 8 P2

That is a solid 100% top. I zoomed in and see the clean circular break of the main stalk. You topped correctly. But next time. Wait a few more days and leave a little extra stem to die back and shrink. In some cases. If you plan on low stress training in the future. The main stalk will split down the middle if you pull on the 2 new tops too hard. Also an issue during flower. If heavy flowers aren't supported well. The main stem can split from the weight. So when you top. Leave some extra stem above your nodes. If what I said made sense. Great. If not. Research proper topping and you should see someone explaining it.. good luck 👍

Plan on LST soon this week on #1. Day 33 PC#1- was attempting lst , ended up having to defoliate cuz leaves in my way. broke a stem which I duct taped back asap, and tied to another branch. also broke one of the 2 main stems. tied it to the other and not going to touch her for a week. plzz recover properly!! Day 35 PC#1- I took off the lst I had done 2 days ago.. the plant felt firm enough that I spread it out enough to give everything enough light and space. I took it out because I thought I tied them too tight knowing the broncos would thicken. and because I don't want to deal ti them later . I will start scrog sometime next wee probably.

starting to bud up quick.. wish the plant was slightly taller, expected more of a stretch but maybe short due to topping and transplanting stress. prob should have given her an extra week of veg after transplant defoliated BK flower day 18 , other 2 in a few days. BK prob smaller and less developed due to age when flipped

Pretty average week. Nothing bad and nothing spectacular. Buds growing consistently . Plant looks healthy. Starting to hope I can get at least a half Lb out this go. Did catch a tiny cricket in the sticky trap. maybe he was the culprit eating at the leaves. Hasn't been getting worse since

slow week. buds got fat at steady rate. starting to turn to real buds and a few colors will start to appear. fed with plain water once few days ago to give her a reset. def will be couple week difference in harvest. Noticable different smells. PC babies are super sweet like standing around a cotton candy machine. Bubba is def kushy smelling deep and heavy almost like skunk and cheese. Hopin these bud sites get phat. can't wait to use the trim for hash Flower day 38..... Light fuse box blew. Had black ash on it. Light had been great so far. Transitioning to my other 2 smaller lights. Hope it doesn't shock them to bad. just a lot less power. Also hope mars hydro gets back to me soon as I want to replace the box ASAP to get the light running again. Un SCrog ed on Flower day 38 so I could move all plants in tight to one another due to less light coverage

Light fuse box blew I guess. pretty disappointing in week 5 flower. lucky I have a few smaller lights that total 290W compared to the 650W I was using. Might be a couple days even week or two I assuming til I fix light. What can I expect to happen to my plants?

Plant's look healthy such a shame that it happened. Good thing you have some backup light for them. My guess is if its only for a couple days you should have little effect. If it takes longer like 2 weeks your yield will be smaller and buds could be fluffy. Never had it happen to me. Best of luck on getting things back on track.😎

Some BS last week when my light went down. Been in contact with mars hydro and should have a new driver within the week, which would be awesome. Not hurting too bad with the less light and hoping it doesn't affect yield too much.Plants looking pretty good prob 3 weeks left . got bubble bags coming in for dry ice hash. getting excited to chop her down.

Finally, now 9 days after the light fucked up I got it going again. Plants have defiantly been affected . Temp was 60-65 for the past 9 days . Lost some density for sure. Plants seemed to not get much older during the time. Hoping they find it within themselves to get 85-90% of what they should be. Could be last week with nutrients. Just such a disappointment that it happened in the first place. PC#1 PC#2 both trichomes 50% cloudy . starting flush . Day 53 flower. PC#2 my fav buds atm Lowered light to 75% day 53 flower. raised it to 25 + inch above canopy chopped a small sampler to dry out

If it's sativa dominant, then yes, definitely. If it's indica dominant, then maybe. I would remove a few either way. Even if it's too late for it to help the buds get bigger, it should help with ripening and terpene profile.

At this stage in the game it's kind of risky. You'll probably be okay if you clean up dense foliage and keep the airflow high. You'll have to decide if it's worth the risk though. If your area is just going through a ridiculously humid period, I'd chance it. If your area has a normal environment right now, I'd invest in a dehumidifier. You might get away with it 5 or 6 times and then have issues and lose a crop. Is it worth the risk?

Getting to the end of this cycle. PC's are being flushed . BK might still have 3 weeks or 4 weeks left so she gets nutes. RH has sky rocketed last week. trying to get it down before I water again. No signs of anything bad yet but can't last forever like this. 75% RH night time. checking triches every few days . will harvest at 70-30 cloudy vs amber. 90-10 cloudy to clear ATM Prob a few days left, definite color change, waiting til runoff is all water...flower day 58

RH back to kinda normal 60%, after being 80% for couple days. outside RH was a huge part of the issue due to rain which is stabilizing. Haven't watered in 3 days. soil is definitely pretty dry , as I was waiting to water again for RH to go down. Should I wait longer? or I'm good?

If the soils dry my friend give her some water :) the RH being at 80% for a short amount of time wont have dramatic effects to her feed if she has a healthy root system this is what she will depend on rather than relying on the humidity in the environment yes you can use foliar feeds but i would only advise doing so if the root system is not health or your taking cuttings ect. Just keep eye on your ph and run off and you should be golden pal :) 👊 oh tip for you if you do get alot of rain and want to try cut the humitity try get your hands on a good fan controller and turn the air intakes down to minimlize the amount of damp airt getting in :)

Triches are mostly milk. About the same number of ambers as there are clears. Will I always find clear triches? Especially when im looking inside deep in the bud. Or I should be able to wait til there are almost none? Assuming she is a week or less than 2 from harvest.

Yes, there will always be some clear trichomes. Waiting until they are all milky or mostly amber will produce inferior buds due to the plant being over ripe and close to death, with a great deal of the THC having broken down into CBD and CBN, 2 non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Hope this helps,........... Organoman.

Cannabis_Chris
Cannabis_Chrisanswered grow question 4 years ago
From my reading, it depends. Leaves change colors when they become deprived of nutrients. When you stop feeding your plants in the final weeks of harvest, they are forced to cannablize themselves. As broad vegetation leaves store sugars and nutrients (similar to how we store fat) they release them at the end of flower to keep the plant alive, to make sure the flowers don't die before they can be pollinated. So, when you begin to flush a plant, it will begin to use the stored energy (sugars in their vegetation) to fight to stay alive. That said, like you and me, no two plants are the same. Usain Bolt and I process fat much differently, even though we're both practically the same (he just trains, and I sit on my fat-arse eating chips, waiting like a well primed Inidica for a flush that will never arrive 🤪)

Great grow, very easy , could have got a better yield if I had more experience but quality seems close to what im looking for so better we will get. Cant complain. Will have more info once she is dry.. About 2.5 days into drying, shit is fire. hoping the scales looking nice when she is dry . harvest PC#1 next couple days Starting cure 8 days into dry. not passing snap test but it seems pretty dry. lot buds fall right off with lil tug. 60% steady in jar. will burp often early. smells great. gonna use trim from whole grow for dry ice hash. honestly might have been slight early on harvest. thought I had all cloudy but prob closer to half and half cloudy and clear with some ambers scattered. was also nervous about it molding due to conditions inside, couldn't get it lower than 75%RH with dehume, rain was issue over and over. id rather have what I have than have it start to mold. def good stuff and can't wait for it to cure.

60-65% humidity 70-75 degrees for my dry room if I can get it lower in temp I will usually dry 10-14 days never had a problem. For your situation I’ll take off all big fan leaves and have air circulation around the buds but not directly on plant and you will be fine

dry ice is gonna freeze it,no need to freeze extra. shake the bag with ice and fresh material in it for a minute or so and filter through. letting it dry before making hash will bring other green parts into your hash. best way to make dry ice hash and get pure resin is to make it directly after cutting without drying and putting it to freeze. trichomes get separated from buds and leaves quickly and no green parts mix into it.Works great for me. pre-freeze might create mold, I would avoid that.

When it's such a small amount like this I usually just air dry on the sheet and cut it up every half an hour or so, so it's like a powder and then keep it in a small jar or airtight container. It takes about half a day 4-6 hours depending on how much

Cheeba_Inuanswered grow question 4 years ago
It would be totally normal to have 60 percent RH in the jar during curing, if anything that seems a little low. The point of the cure is to slow down the final drying process and allow the for breakdown of chlorophyll (for smoothness) and the preservation of terpenes. I try to cure at the mid 60s, allowing airflow into the jar daily, and finish for long term storage in the low 60s high 50s for RH. I would jar it all, and worst case remove the buds and lay them out for short period if RH spikes too high. If you are careful there should not be any issues, and it's better than having over dried buds. I am sure they will be great after the dry/cure! 👍

Grow went well , didn't weigh the wet plant , smells like a big bag of skittles. some super fat buds but overall looks less than PC#2. Made another run of the hash with some nugs that was all larf. more info when its dry trimmed at 7 days . 65% in jar , smells and tastes very sweet. not as big a yield as PC#2 prob due to my scroging. again think I could have left it another week or so but all is good. cant wait to make all the hash

Hard to see without close up pics, but powdery mildew will cause brown blotches on the leaves quite early and the leaves will also dry up and go crispy. Going by that, you probably only have a SUPER frosty plant there! Oh no!! Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

I've made, last year, both dry ice and dry sift, starting from excellent and rich trim. My results and opinion are: Dry ice hash is less sticky, less potent, less flavoured than dry sift. I don't know news about safeness of smoking dry ice hash (it's only trim and CO², how could they harm?) but to me the resin obtained in this way is less enjoyable than dry sift hash, dry sift has a richer spectrum of flavours. Last but not less important is that because of process dry ice extraction too much green matter pollute resin. This year I'll make only 120 microns dry sift hash in the Morrocan way 😏 Check my Special Kush diary and see my hash.
