 Purple Haze + Chronic + Sensi Star...Finished 4/27! 
#513358 - 01/13/11 08:22 AM (13 years, 11 months ago) |

So, I tried to make one of these last time but totally spaced out on keeping it up to date. My bad.
This round I have a G-13 Labs Purple Haze seed that was popped about 10 days ago. I also have a Chronic clone (not looking so hot) and I'm waiting on another seed to pop, but I can't really remember the specific right now.
Anyway, heres the 10 day old Purple Haze / Purple Lady. I'll prolly abbreviate to PH from now on, just so you know.
I can't believe how big the original leafs are on this plant. I've never really had one that was quite as impressively big as that. You can't really tell from the picture I guess, but they are really wide. Maybe because its a haze plant?
Plants in veg are never very impressive, so I'll prolly post once more before the flip to 12/12, and then weekly or bi-weekly after that. 
My plan is to veg for a month like usual and then flip, but I like to wait for a Sunday so its easier to count the weeks. Depending on her size, I'll switch on the 30th or the 6th.
Will update on the other seed and the clone too, if they do what they're supposed to anyway.

Heres a totally unexpected update. I decided today was the day I wanted to transplant my seedling, so I snapped a few pictures. Its 2 weeks before I plan to flower...but I don't know. Shes looking pretty small - but when I look at her today compared to the picture up there (only 5 days) maybe she will be ready~!
I'm using Roots Organics soil...I was pretty amazed at the roots at only 2 weeks in so I got a picture of that.
Impressive IMO (especially considering I didn't feed it any nutes yet).
This is her from the top. Something a little strange going on with the lowest leafs (didn't really spread to the uppers) and the bottom-bottom ones turned very dry and crumbled off. Admittedly, I DID forget to water her for quite some time. The PH is fine. Is it just because I neglected to water her? 
And finally a clone of some Chronic a friend gave me. He only had $3 Walmart soil and it compacted and damn near killed it off. It looks like it has made a full recovery and has roots (transplanted her today). The Motavation clone he gave me didn't make it unfortunately.
Not looking the best, but coming along OK.
Shitty cell camera this time, good pics when I make the flip to 12/12.

Just a post to let anyone following know that I haven't forgotten about my journal this time 
I transplanted my PH into a 1 gallon pot and put her in my flowering room. I also took a cutting before I put her in there. Its droopy, but I'm sure it will recover.
The Chronic is just very disappointing. I was planning on cloning it out and using it in a perpetual harvest type situation, but it has just under preformed in all departments. Its very stretchy, even though it has been under enough light, and the nodes that ARE there just look weak  . I didn't even bother taking a cutting...I noticed today that there are preflowers already, so I just put her into flower. I don't think I'll save it at all. Not impressed.
I'll do some nice pics once they both start showing some nice buds

OK, I took these the day I put them into flower...the Chronic was already covered in preflowers when I put her under 12/12 and the Haze is just starting to show her pistils now. So, less than a week
The PH clone is looking not-so-great, but its way too early to tell if it will survive.
Chronic
Purple Haze
Still, nothing spectacular...just documenting for later. I can definitely smell the chronic though.

i've found that clones can be extremely resilient - looking forward to see how that PH develops!

Yeah, I mean, when you think about what you are doing to clone a plant it makes sense that it wilts and doesn't look so great right away. You ARE completely severing a limb away from the main stalk haha.
That Chronic was actually cloned from the original plant because it was so burned and shitty...it was just easier to clone and hope than try to repair the damage that was done. Its really incredible, the bottom of it is about 1 inch thick and shrinks down to about a quarter inch above it. I'll try to get a picture. IDK what caused it...maybe the clone gel I used gave it super nutrients haha.

A minor update. The clone didn't make it, I'm not completely sure why. I usually have a 100% rate with clones 
Anyway, I've just ordered a 400w HPS that will definably be here during the peak of their flowering activity, so, bonus!

Wow! I got my 400w HPS in today...its soooo bright 
I'll do some updated pictures tomorrow after I get it all hung up. I would have done it today, but I'd rather have the whole day to work on it
Anyway, this post is just for me to document at which point I got the new light in.
Edit: Wow, after looking at those above pictures and having just watered my girls, it certainly IS time for an update. They're sooo much different now

400 watt update! [Re: the man]

Sorry about that, I was having some computer trouble, but all seems to be well now. I set up the light with my buddy. I wanted to put it on a bar, but the hardware store didn't have what I needed to set that up, so its screwed directly into my ceiling.
Room:
First we have the Purple Haze. For some reason it doesn't really have any significant bud growth. It might be because its a haze plant, and is taking longer to start...or, it *could* have been the light leak I mentioned in another thread. But, it looks like its starting now OK.
Next is the Chronic. Its looking pretty good, and is about where I expect a plant this young into flowering should look. Its so super stretched, I just don't get it  Ah well. Interestingly, all the buds look even-sized right now. The lower nodes have the same amount of growth as the cola on top. Which means, the cola is gonna be tiny, or all the nodes are going to have big buds. Time will tell.
A close up of the cola:
Not too impressive just yet, but...soon
As a bonus, remember that seed I mentioned popping up there? ^ Well, heres the Sensi Star that came from that. Topped it and put it in at about 3 weeks of veg.
I have some little friends who must have been camping out in my walls and brought back to life by the heat of my HPS.
To address the question up there ^ no, couldn't have mixed them up. I have the pots labled pretty plainly, and one was seed, one was clone

dope ladybug! all i got are fuckin box elder bugs comin out all over the house...but i'll for sure by lookin for some garden friendly predators come spring...
luckily, the box elders are harmless to the plants, so i've just been letting them live in there instead of killin them off...the micro-ecosystem keeps me content during the long frozen winter...

I feel ya. I live in a freezing cold place too. Never see ladybugs except in the warm grow room. My walls must be full of them or something, because theres no way they are getting in on accident
I think its funny that people actively search out ladybugs for their garden, and mine just seems to produce them! How convenient.

So, I was trying to wait 2 weeks to update, but this morning was wide open for me so why not
I'll try to keep them in the same order, so first up is the Purple Haze. I feel like an asshole because shes so droopy. For some reason all the other plants can go 4 days between waterings, and she should only go 3. Since I mix up 2 gallons of nutes at once, I always make her wait. Probably a dick move, but I've gotta make it work for me a little.
Now we have the Chronic. The only one not planted in a gallon+ sized pot is the one furthest along. I dunno if that has anything to do with it (maybe it had its rootspace already full so it started flowering quicker?). Looks good, juuuuust starting to get a bit frosty, the camera doesn't capture it really.
And, last but not least, heres my Sensi Star. I love the way this grew. I'm not sure what it is, but it just grew the way I feel a perfect plant should. Its only a few weeks in with little calyx formation...but christ, it already smells. This one is gonna be pretty extreme I can already tell.
And there it is~ For anyone wondering, I use 1 tbsp of Fox Farm Big Bloom, 3 tsp of Fox Farm Tiger Bloom, 1 tbsp of Grandmas Molasses (every other watering) and 1 tsp of Snowstorm Ultra per gallon. I water every 4 days. Next week the P. Haze and Chronic will get a little FF Grow Big as per FF's recommended feeding schedule. Then, after 2 weeks of that, I'll feed it some Gravity and flush for 2 weeks after. Then, hopefully, harvesting the first or second week of April. The Chronic anyway. Not the P. Haze. I can tell thats gonna go probably through April maybe into May.
Thanks for following~

With the fumes of a tomb.

Not a full update, but I borrowed one of my buddies cameras for the duration of my grow, so any further pictures will be much better quality.
Also, week 7 and 8 so they get their dose of Grow Big today and for the next 2 weeks. Then gravity, then flush.
