Russian Rocket Fuel Autoflowering - 2nd Indoor Grow - 150w HPS

#366792 - 02/17/10 08:10 PM (14 years, 9 months ago)

Hey folks. Been a member of shroomery for a good long time, now I am starting my transition over to growery!

I just finished up my first indoor grow about a month ago. It consisted of 5 feminized Russian Rocket Fuel autoflowering seeds by Short Stuff. I started 3 initially, and neglected them. They died. Started the remaining 2. One turned out to be male! No lose, because I pollinated the female and ended up with 16 grams of fine bud, as well as about 60 seeds in 75 days. (Grown under 150 watts of CFL, in 3/4 gallon pot with MG moisture control soil. No nutrients/food was given to the plant at all, just plain water from day one) I was pretty happy with the results of this grow, considering I put minimal effort into it, and the rewards were fantastic.

Now its time to get a little more serious, but not balls to the wall grow op!

I have started 3 Russian Rocket Fuel seeds that I made. Germ'd them, and planted one on 1/22/10, one on 1/25/10, and one 1/26/10.

I am using 1 gallon Tropicana Orange Juice containers as pots, with Miracle Grow Moisture Control Soil again. This time, instead of 150 watts of CFL, I will be using a 150w HPS. Lighting will be set at 18/6 for the entire grow.

Of the 3 seeds, 2 females, one male.

Now to some pictures, these are the most recent, as of today.

I may or may not use the male to make seeds again. It is getting time to decide. I have 50 seeds remaining, so i think I will just let these two girls grow out without pollination.

Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome!

I will make all updates to this first post.

2/24/2010

Well, the male is long gone. I have plenty of seeds, so I chopped him.
The plants are about 12 to 14 inches tall now.
I tried feed it 1/4 strength MG all purpose food, but they seem to be getting an eagle claw leaf. I'm gonna let em dry out and keep going with plain water.
Also, I forgot to mix in extra perlite to the soil, and it is compacting quite a bit now, and not drying as fast. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Here are a couple pictures to go along.

As you can see, the claw was obvious. I hear this is due to one of many things, mainly overwatering, too much N, or pH, or any combination of these.

An Update is due.
The Plants have completely recovered from the claw, and are doing amazingly. One is at 6 weeks and 5 days, while there other is 3 days behind it. About 3 to 4 weeks to go on these babies. Here are some pictures of the setup right now. They are thriving under 24 hours of light. No nutes have been given since the Miracle Gro error. I will be sticking with nute-less growing from now on.

Quick Update:

Plant 1 is 8 weeks old today from being put in soil. Hopefully two more weeks til chop chop!
It is still about 19" tall from the top of the soil, and is just adding thickness and trichs now!

Plant 2 is 3 days behind plant 1. This plant is about 23" tall from the top of the soil. It is getting thicker, but trich coverage isn't as nice as plant 1. Neither plant are as covered as I'd like them to be.

I am shooting for 1.5oz from these two plants. If I get this I will be more than happy. I want to wait until trichs are atleast 25% amber so it isn't so racy, so I might need another 3 weeks. Still feeding them nothing. Only water.

What does everyone think?

4/16/2010
Wanted to put some closure to this.

One plant harvested 70 days from breaking soil, the other 67. Averaged almost an oz per plant of stinky, sticky potent bud. Someone just offered me $300 for an oz.
