Seeds: -4 heady bagseed (one supposedly Maui Wowie) - All 4 beautiful females. -6 midgrade bagseed - 5 were female and force flowered from seed.
Soil/Nutes: -Fox Farm Ocean Forest in 3gal square pots (heady) and 16oz solo cups (midgrade). -One of the heady bagseed was grown in shitty $2 soil from Kmart as a test to show the benefits of quality soil (You can really see the difference). -Pureblend Pro Grow / Pureblend Pro Bloom / Liquid Karma
Lighting: -250w MH for ~3 weeks of vegging. -250w HPS for flowering. -42w CFL above force flowered plants.
The germed seeds were planted in their pots 9/1/10. 3 of the 4 plants were LST'd producing between 4 and 8 tops per plant.
(There are 6 solo cups in this picture - 1 out of those 6 was a male and was destroyed immediately leaving 5 females)
The lights were flipped to 12/12 on 9/25/10 and the plants are looking and smelling beautiful. The supposed Maui Wowie is really exploding with crystal production and smelling fruity as hell.
One plant seems to be mainly Sativa, as it continues its stretch while the 3 others have all been finished with their stretch for awhile now. Also the buds are much farther behind than the buds on the 3 other plants. In order to keep the taller plant on the same level as the others, a supercropping technique was used for the two tallest tops
The force flowered plants are looking decent for only being fed water and being in 16oz solo cups. Not expecting much from these, but a few grams from each would suffice for sure.
Here are a few pictures from 10/26/10 (after 31 days of 12/12 lighting):
Maui Wowie:
Heady bagseed that was planted in Kmart soil:
Supercropped Suspected Sativa:
Force Flowered plants under CFL:
Harvest is expected for all plants besides the Sativa around Thanksgiving, with the Sativa harvest happening about 2-3 weeks later. Should have started the log earlier and taken more pictures, but the veg stage is boring anyway. I'll keep it up to date throughout the rest of the grow.
I know she could have gone a little longer but something was happening with her leaves drying out and crumbling and I honestly want to focus on my two other plants - Unknown Heady and Monster Sativa - they're both looking fucking out of this world, and actually should be ready for harvest sooner than I thought. The Kmart soil plants yield is all but gone except for a nice 2.5g bud that I'll be curing.
So without further adieu..
*notice the water bottle on the left side for size comparison
the trimming process
the booty
jizz
Did a qwiso extraction on the trim and yielded 1.5g of quality hash. The buds are currently hanging and will be going into jars as soon as the stems snap.
Will report back with dry weight and updates on my last two ladies.
Sativa (you can see how it's been supercropped several times, hence the goofy shaped bud):
And last, and least as well, the force flowered from seed plants (I trimmed off all fan/sugar leaves to add them in along with the trim from the Sativa and Unknown heady so I can get a monster chunk of qwiso hash. These plants were just a test, and if they each yield a single gram I'll be pleased):
Hoping to harvest these ladies in about a week, but only time will tell.
I found a good bit of amber trichs on the "Sativa" and decided to chop her down.
The Unknown Heady will be dry and ready for jarring tomorrow night, and the "Sativa" will be dry and ready for jarring Sunday morning. Will provide pictures of each strain once I jar them.
The yield looks like it's gonna hit my goal of 160g total for the entire grow, but I don't wanna count my chickens as they say.
Anyway, here's the yield for the Unknown Heady and Sativa (Unknown on the front two strings, Sativa on the back string):
And check out these fatty colas from the Sativa plant:
The Maui Wowie is curing nicely as is the small 2.5g nug I have left of the Kmart Kush.
I left the Maui Wowie plant with a 1g bud attached, the Unknown Heady with about 7g buds attached, and the force flowered from seed plants in the closet with the light going just to see how the high differs when you let plants go for extended periods of time.
Was a great grow, and I definitely see the benefits of MH/HPS over CFL, as well as benefits of premium soil over shitty generic brand soil. Gonna be my last grow for a good while 'til I move to a state where I can do it all legal like Bugsy Siegel, as Snoop would say.
On a side note, anybody need a complete 250w MH/HPS grow setup? hahah
Planning on posting the final dry weight of the Kmart Kush, Maui Wowie, Unknown Heady, and Sativa this Sunday. Then the log will essentially be done until I decide to chop the remaining couple buds and force flowered plants, and I'll get dry weights and bud pics up of them as well.
