New Grower CFs First Grow 6 NL X BB, 1 Lemon Skunk and 1 Jack Herer Photo with T5s

[AutoConvert]

A few bumps but things look to be ticking along just nicely in here CF.
A little starter cab is a great idea, efficient and 2 spaces is the way forward imo

Keep it going!

Yeah I find the more growing spaces I have, the more I want to build another.
Sometime this week I'll be making a father cab for my nut chuckers. I just collected some pollen from a pshycofruit X guerrilla Ryder cross dubbed Crazy Ape. He's so nice looking, I have to give him a home. Dude has purple nuts, smelles like a sweet skunk, has tons of nuts, and visible trich production.

So if you can find a way to make Jackie a home, I think you should. It's doesn't have to be special. Hell you could even just get a trash can or something large, and cover her up after 12 hours in the same room. Let them all stay together, and just isolate her in the latter part of the cycle, giving her 12/12 to flower. Same thing could be done outside, but put lights in the container, extending the hours of light an outdoor plant gets. Get creative and have fun with it. Shit people grow in cardboard boxes with table lamps. Wish I could let crazy ape slap her with his purple nuts!

Thanks for the vote of confidence AutoConvert! I would not be here if i was not ready to learn! :smoking: I am aiming for 2lbs with 864w of light now and 1296w early Jan for the last 3-4 weeks in prime time. But of course i would be happy with 1/2lb worse case!

You both really made me consider the extra space to save Jackie. She has been clawing recently and i think it is because of the 1/4 Base and full 4ml/L B-52. Gonna cut back on the avg P/High K (NPK) value B-52 and use 1/2 Base Grow Nutes to see how it goes. Since she is already stressed from the burn and now claw i will wait to attempt a Top/Fim.

I have some debts/favors that i may be collecting that could allow me to make the small cab since i love wiring custom shit up. Its like, Bill Nye the Science Guy! lol.
With the huge pot tho she wont have more than an extra 3"-4" to grow.....i guess supercropping would be the answer to that? <----that is a question folks, and so is this----> Can i take her out and gently lose some soil and keep the roots to put her in a smaller pot?

Sorry for being so demanding guys and gals...been drinking tonight among other things so im a little chatty.... I dont really care since ive read enough to see that we are all stoned most of the time

Not home and worried about the girls too so that dont help! I am convinced that i would feed/nourish my girls before anything for myself at this point. Thank god i dont have kids of my own, only nephews.

My girls are my personal happy place in life at this point. Like a happy place!

Got caught up in the rambling and forgot to actually answer most of your post! :smoking:

Too high i guess lol.

Would you happen to be in the legendary land North-East from most? Is so i could kindly leave her somewhere for an angle to save her! Or some kick ass pollen could blow its way somewhere around me with a big

But seriously that male sounds like the bees knees! (Fuck that saying is older than me!) You need to keep that fucker for some fucking around! If he has any auto genes i would definitely love to cross some with a branch of LM and NL/BB without even thinking twice! NLxBB even has some purple genes i am sure will come through in at least one of them.

Anyways, back to the point, I should have at least 60$ and some computer fans (3" holes seem to already be near the top and bottom of the intended space) to spare for at least a 4x 13w CFL setup. I am guessing to stick with 4 bulbs and just up those to 23-24W ones if i can.

And now after reading that post a few times i suppose i should make a Father cab with enough space for a Mother at some point too! I will add it to the list with a goal sometime in June to start breeding. Cheaper than buying at least and it could be fun.

Well i will stop rambling now! (Must not of been much amber there!)
Not gonna edit or delete anything. You all made me too comfy to even hesitate to post on the shit i been typing for the past hour! lol

-Definitely high CF with no one around.

No I live in FL... But I have already harvested about 60 pollen sacs, hes going to be harvested for at least another week. I actually smoked some of his flowers today, and got a nice headband effect, that went down my face some. Felt like I was wearing a raccoon mask, lol.

Supercropping is great for height, and along as you are gentle, its rather easy. BUT BE GENTLE. Massage the stem and loosen up the fibers first. Pinch, and lightly twist it till you basically crush the center of the stem. My first try I snapped a main stalk 90% off. That day I also tried cloning for the first time, with the top of that plant....

Gotta go nap. Work is in 2 hours. Till later, good luck.

Lol can pollen survive the mail?
And I guess what i meant wasent supercropping......More like LST? just pulling the main stem over to the side

Oh fuck...i think my ranting went a little too far.

Almost looks like i harvested too early lol

Well both SC and lst are great for that. If i remember Jackie is a photo right? If so managing height is pretty easy. You can almost just beat the shit out of her, cut her head off a few times,break her legs, all while binding her in ropes and ball gags. Wen you get done abusing her, just remember to show her some love so she can recover properly.

I have a sativa dom amnesia photo (not sure of exact genetics) that I lst'd the shit out of and topped 1 time (6th nod). If she was standing she would only be ~12". I bent her over right at the soil level over 3 days, and ran her to the side of the pot. After that, I just started stitching her to the edge of the pot which is about 8-9" wide. She made it about 3/4 of the way around after stretch. (btw this is from my micro can, and was started on 12/12 light. bonsai was the idea) To save me a bit of typing this is my most recent update to her...

*Amnesia Update*

So this lil' lady has returned to her pedestal where she belongs. I can't even type out how happy I am to see her back in good condition. Although shaman #1 is my best/pretty looking plant, this 1 is my favorite again. She has been stretching, and loving the sun. I'd say she has increased by about 50% from the last pic i posted. I spent about 2 hours today just wiring her down, and admiring her. She has about 10 shoots @ 4-7" that are all budding and pointing straight up from previous lst. She was given a nice spread to about 11-12", and opened her up wide with an even canopy. I've got a feeling she still has a while to go, and appears to be a sativa dominate strain. She should turn in to some nice head stash. The time I have spent doing lst on her as been some of my funnest time so far, she just took it, and responded greatly.

Besides training, and pruning to manage height, you can give her a smaller pot. I'd use fabric pots so you don't actually root bound her, just limit the amount of roots she will grow. The top half will stay in proportion of the bottom half. (withing reason, but less roots=less plant) Also don't go nuts with the veg nutes, no need for growing pains.

This is the last good pic I have of the amnesia (i had REALLY high Ph lvls making me think it had a virus) Looking at it now, I would say she increased by 100%, not 50% maybe more. There is a lot of pant on that lil' pot. For size reference that is a 11" x 13" cab.

So anywho, the point of my rambles is to enjoy her. In my opinion photos are great at learning to train a plant. Then take what you learn, and relearn it on an auto. If she gets a bit stressed just cuddle with her whispering sweet encouragements in her ear letting her know everything is going to be just fine. :smoking:

Sorry i havent updated sooner guys and gals, i got some bad news that forced me to cancel my planned upgrades but i did at least manage to pickup 2X 4' 4bulb T5HOs for 100$ so at least i tripled my light anyways. now at 648W and 60000 Lumens and found 2 working dehumidifiers for 45$ so cant complain much with those deals! I had to also get some Big Bud and Bud Candy to keep up with ANs Expert feeding schedule.

So the first 5 ahead of the rest are on Day 32. They are getting 1.5ml/L each of Sensi Grow A and B and 1ml/L B-52. I have no clue why but i decide to lower the B-52 in order to balance out the increase in Sensi Grow. Seems to be working.

NL x BB Fem Auto #1 The center on this one is way up there but i dont really mind since its the only one out of the first 3 to be like that and i would like to see a big fat cola! Currently it stands at 27 1/2" from soil. Showing very early signs of flowering.

NL X BB Fem Auto #2 Still my favorite pheno with thick and evened out side branches. No more LST to be done since its definitely flowering with growth almost coming to a halt today. Will Be getting bloom nutes next feeding and it stands at 26" from soil.

NL X BB Fem Auto #3 This one is nice and bushy but still like the other two more or less so genetics a spot on there. Side branches nice and even and its also starting to slow down and flower. It stands at 27" from soil.

Lemon Skunk Fem Auto. This thing is still so dam bushy but by doing some LST here and there i managed to spread it out a bit. Signs of flowering have begun and standing at 12" tall.

Jack Here Fem PHOTO Is still sitting on the side waiting for its chance to flower one of these day. I successfully FIMmed her with 4 branches coming out just under where i cut the tip of the stem. Many small side branches have started to grow in a way that makes her great for cloning once i invest in a small veg cab. Standing at 8" tall.

Last 3 on next post due to picture limit
