Time to show your grow.

[homegrown]

My all photo grow is finally settling in. LST'd for the last few day's and their starting out very nice. Clipped off a couple of leaves that wouldnt co-operate. Two are the same strains..the other five are different so im just trying to find out who likes what and how often. seem good right now. Have 2 living outside, and spending their evenings in the garage under 45W grow lights(about 20 hrs of light) and a couple more seedlings to give to friends. I might keep this little beauty for myself..it came in one of my seed orders but had no label. doing some weird stuff..even the cotyledon on the lighter side is way longer. Freaky lady!

[oldjarhead100]

wow what a read from yesterday till today I dont have any pictures but we moved 10 plants to one of our sites then went to look for a new spot man o man did we find one took awhile but its in full sun ,off the beaten track ,and water is right next to it ,and if you were 10 feet away you would never see them (I HOPE)

[SoOrbudgal]

Good luck oldjarhead100. When I see you tell these stories of searching your spots and planting makes me drift back 40yrs ago.

[SoOrbudgal]

I did it ( really should not have got enough but...) she's getting her sauna/germination. Just going with 1seed no room for another plant. Here's to a floaty future come late august I hope.

[oldjarhead100]

I can be so dense sometimes ,I was sitting here wondering why your soaking you seeds in a flower vase lol

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL oldjarhead100 well it's gotta a very tiny root tail not to long but I placed it back into the baggie for another day at the spa barely a root yet.

[Mr.furley]

The correct dry weight of the Black Domina I grew pictured above was 137grams dry with a add 65 gram from the second (lower) harvest two weeks later not included in that picture, just a little over 200 gram total off the plant SoOrbudgal was within 10 grams of the dry weight from a blurry wet weight picture of 2/3 the plant, lol. The smoke is somewhat smooth with earthy tones and the plant produce some exciting looking bulky nugs. Toker1 Farmall purpleman also see next post.

It all comes down to grams per watt indoors. While some new LED light have been pushing over a grams a watt and Iv personal hit 1.27 grams a watt with a HLG light the fact remains that the grow space you have and light watts = yield under mostly ideal conditions, let me explain.....

I have been grown indoors with a 600 watt hps light in a 3×4×6 tent for a few years and in one start to finish grow it would never produce more then 20 ounces or 560 grams with that canopy size. This year I'm luck enough to be able to take the tent down, use just about double the the space I have, add a second 600w Hps and dedicated it to flowering only(3×7×9 or 21 sqft canopy legally I can have 32 square feet) After getting acclimated to my new space and I'm feel I have it dialed in, nothing's changed except plant size, I average roughly 8 oz or roughly 200 grams per plant now but the plant are a lot bigger given that the ample space has doubled the plants size but so has the canopy and the watts! so the yield the same per watt I'm just getting more with the same amount of plants as before in a little bit shorter amount of time

besides the fact that some of us are old school and able to eyeball three-finger lid, if you want to know if someone is popping out the truth just ask them "how many watts are you using" and none of this equivalent crap, True Watts Lady's and gentleman just like dry weight.

[oldjarhead100]

they limit your canopy size ???? I never bothered to figure the math out for grams per watt , I get what I get , I run 2 630 cmh over 8 plants now Ive wondered if I cut the plants in half to 4 in my yield would go down or up , my last grow I had 2 zamaldelica one weighted 10 oz the other 2 because the first blocked it from the lights food for thought though

[SoOrbudgal]

Excellent describing process. Damnit to hell if I had grade school and high school teachers explain things the way you and alltatup do in easy to understand terminology for the " layman " to understand shit....I would of gone on to pursue my dream career. You guys here at GWE are the bomb diggity

[420chicano]

😂 three finger lids and you get four fingers if you were his boy! We use to stuff old tobacco cans for lids also to old thin ones...until Paraquat came along and sprayed all the old Mexican weed crops ...then prices changed no more 3 finger lids for $10 😂

[Mr.furley]

Bud porn, Black Domina

Flash for bling

ok Retodd Iv done everything besides put it on a scale for the picture to make this Fair, dried cured on a plate what's my weight?

I'll mail you bud if you can nail all three pictures.

[Mr.furley]

First picture is 6 grams, Close and very impressive.

[Retodd]

Not to make an excuse, but guessed high because it looked very dense. I seen the 2 buds laying on the plate and thought I’d had it

[GardenLady]

Wowza those are great

[420chicano]

The Cure makes the Difference .... Unless you’re like my brother old hippie start smoking seven days after it’s picked😂

[Retodd]

Yep, 2 months for me

[oldjarhead100]

hell ive cut buds for several days in a row so I would have weed to smoke while everything else finishes , I prefer properly cured as long as I have weed to smoke

[MrHappy81]

Def agree that the cure makes the difference! But I will be honest that I have smoked 7 days or so after dry as I didnt have any smoke left and dealers were dry. It was a lovely smoke to be honest, smooth and a good high. Very impressed and also lucky I guess.

[oldjarhead100]

22 in the woods so far and 8 more ready to go I have 11 clones of sour patch kiss plants and 6 of sherbet cookies ,that I moved outside yesterday and stuck in an open garage bay to harden off they will be transplanted today the last spot we have is a hike so we only bring 2 plants out a day each

[Retodd]

Answer your fb messages ole boy....lol. Time to catch up
Does seem you’ve been busy.

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm a tad over my limit too but that's why I live where I live.

[PaganRich]

As anyone who knows me will say, Peyote Critical Kush is my all time favourite strain. I am currently closing my grows down through June as July is too hot to grow in for me here and so I just used some seeds up-didn`t manifold or top and flipped this lass at 10 inches. Vegged in a 7 litre airpot, transferred to a 20 and flipped. What makes this special is an issue I`ve had with water and which, with the aid of some very good friends on here who have provided much needed advice and support, have led to an epiphany which has solved several issues that I was believing to be alternative problems. So, tap water is ph 7.8 and Hard especially in terms of Calcium being filtered through limescale. RO is not an option for me. Also, I followed `advice` on quite a few organic grow sites stating compost teas cannot be ph tested accurately and that they adjust in the soil. Complete bollocks. I have found that if you don`t ph your teas you are in a world of pain. For example, some teas need at least 2 days to get going before being good and ready yet I have found that with a fungal tea it can go from from 7.8 down to 5.9 onwards without any adjustment on my part, just brewing that little bit too long. This makes it trickier and requires Ph monitoring as bacteria, etc have certain zones they grow best in. White vinegar has been very effective. This tea malarky is an ongoing process of learning for me but the buds i get are teeth rattlers, dense as stones and smell lush. Now, this lass has been fed only on compost teas-either feed or non feed-microbe or fungal-adjusted to 6-6.2. She`s due a fungal feed in 2 days and has a bit further to go but the problems with excess calcium have been restrained to acceptable levels and the lockout from ph issues addressed. I think I can do better in my next grow season so feeling quite upbeat. Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer my questions and help with encourgement and sage advice. Without your help folks, I would`ve conceded ages ago.

[SoOrbudgal]

PaganRich yes I cook my outdoor teas in a 5gal bucket with a lid and strain for using on my outdoor gals. You will get plenty of bud porn as you know to fill your need to grow for few months here i'll show you I love your strain of kush not grown it but enjoy your descriptions. They always seem to suit you

[PaganRich]

SoOrbudgal Does that mean you think I`m muscular, got a mean right hook but bit wiffy in a manly kind of way in the personal hygiene department (the buds i get are teeth rattlers, dense as stones and smell lush)? Thanks for your words and how you do youir teas. I find that after a month I`m usually itching to start again...or that could just be the fleas from my old mum`s cat, hard to tell sometimes

[SoOrbudgal]

Here for you on this beautiful partial sunny day are some of my plants. #1pic is several out door you won't see them all #2pic is my outdoor porch tent which has 3 lemon haze autoflower at 3wks (middle one is lagging even from sprout) behind them is a white widow/tangie X #3 is my seedling station and #4 is the 3 different auto flowers that sat in veg for 6wks they are doing great and yellow leaf folger container last of those to harvest still trying to hang on bless her but she's over 80days old may take her a.m. tomorrow.

Keep up the grows and stay well

[MrHappy81]

They all look so lovely. I see your cat is getting in on things too there. Looks so nice outside, wish i could grow outside but i would be getting a knock on the door from the law!
What ratio do you use for your soil mix with coco and perlite? Do you use mycorzioal?

[oldjarhead100]

I got 4 outside in first pic they blend very well, just like the woods girls

[SoOrbudgal]

@Mr.Happy81 30%perlite & 70% coco/peat also bought this season some potting soil mixed from farmers co-op now for indoor and outdoor. I adjust the outdoor more with composted organic materials and llama poo or bat guano. I have a huge tub with a lid I throw all that into it and I will also toss in all the used potting soil from indoor grows I don't throw much out. The outdoor mix in a different tub with all sorts of composted greens it gets pitch fork turned and I don't add nothing to it after I start putting it into the containers no new green material.

Mr. Happy81 I mess with these tubs all year long in fall all the old soil from outdoor potted will be used in my veggie and flower beds. Used up indoor will go into outdoor tub and make new indoor as I need. Nothing is wasted hardly all gets used in some way. What else I got to do I'm retired and just love to garden.

[Retodd]

Good show! I just tend to buy new soil. Now that my neighbor has tons of compost makes me even happier...lol

[GreenState]

Everyone posting pics of monster looking plants...well here's my coffee can wee little girls at 9 weeks since flipping. 10" tall now (g), they were 12"





"flash porn"

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal It will be an interesting comparison of top yields, the stems I topped 2 weeks after flipping to 12/12 vs. the tops left alone.
The bud pic above is one I topped later, forming a double bud top- hence the odd shape. So far, to be honest I'd guess yield is about equal, late top vs. not.. Regardless, as you can see this weed is easy peasy trimming.
PS: 44 degrees this morning, crisp, dry air. Might be a good day to burp some of the long term cured storage jars.
PPS: CaptainWiese91 Thanks!

[Retodd]

I’m doing coffee can grows on my next grow. Looks nice

[Retodd]

PaganRich Give these a look

[SoOrbudgal]

Right about the burp only got 2 to worry about right now LOL and very small amount of cured. Oh well got lined up plants just waiting their turns. I'm feeling pretty good about timing these grows, it's my errors with the light and temps that messed my harvest dates by 2wks or so but it's all gonna be alright

[Canuck147]

Roaches are next.....

[D.A.A.S.69]

4autos in a 2x2.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Thanks buddies, PaganRich, Retodd, @Greenlivin.
PaganRich You are the original Mad Dog an Englishman, JoeCocker was talking about, back in the day, that really was a great album, by the way.
Cheers, Mates.

[Retodd]

Are you telling PaganRich ‘You are so beautiful?’ To you? 😂

[Retodd]

Btw, what strains?

[Itsasecret]

3 auto’s in a 3x3 tent. First one should be ready for harvest in a couple of weeks.

[Itsasecret]

Hi Greenlivin. I found out that my cfl’s are self ballasting so there is no need to add a ballast. I only added the home made reflectors. I haven't noticed any milky trichomes yet. They are all still clear at the moment..As soon as they turn milky I’m planning to flush. Waiting very patiently. I want to harvest when there’s a few amber trichomes. Only a few though.

[Itsasecret]

Just had a closer look and the trichomes are looking a bit cloudy. 👀

[Itsasecret]

@Greenlivin.. the auto at the front of my tent is the one that’s taken over 8 weeks to show signs of flowering. All these were started at the same time and the other two are close to harvest. They’re all 10 weeks old this weekend. Hopefully it’s going to go crazy when it’s got the tent to itself? 🤷🏼♂️
