Guys, I edited my above post.

Are you going to make me go downstairs and get my TIMERS??? And my NOTES??? It's COLD down there!

 

[caveman4.20]

you dont have to but if this beginning works for me i loved to hone it in or atleast learn as much about it as i can thanx Sea 420gator said you have incredible experience so im all ears

 

[Seamaiden]

What are you hoping to achieve? What's your goal with this? I think that if you don't have a specific need, if you're an indoor-only grower who isn't concerned too much with power use and costs, or with putting plants outside, it's kind of complicating things (like Bud Spleefman was saying before).

I mean, 'the usual' isn't the only way to get decent buds and yields, but in my world simpler is indeed better.

Can you tell I'm trying to avoid going down there right now? :p

 

[caregiverken]

dont go down there for me Sea...Im hopeless

Ken, my favorite timers are the cheap tab timers you get from Wally World. They can be set up to 15min increments, the little tabs that you pull up or push down, you know what I'm talking about? They're not digital, they're purely analog and physical at that. Those things work GREAT.

No, I start them outside. I want the survivors, not the weaklings.

ALL of these seedlings survived, and I got a pretty damn good F:M ratio, strain depending.

Thats the Kind I am useing too Sea :)

I have several digital ones laying around...but It's a pain to program them. :cool:

 

[Dopegeist]

30min increment Brinks at Wally for $7. When precision is not needed. Otherwise I use
If you're having trouble with programming those, then I say make friends with someone who can. Or just have your schedule printed and punch it in at the store. Indoor Jalapenos take digital timers. You'll catch on pretty quick.

my first transplant after 32 days from planted


Seamaiden im trying to save on electricity and also learn a faster way to grow from seed and so far i dont seem very far behind so many people started plants on halloween so i been comparing to alot of pics my favorite so far is Jeezers there huge and healthy i think its acai og and bannana crack or something and sosers peter tosh are quite aggressive but im not to far behind them.

By now i would like more side branching unfortunately as far as veg structure goes this pheno has alot of bubba og in it and all of those have vegged slow for me but the smoke is ay ya yay!

 

[Seamaiden]

Yeah, the Bubba thang just goes slow, but it's usually worth it. They look excellent.

 

[caveman4.20]

I appreciate that and I agree very worth It.

 

[caveman4.20]

So I've decided to remove the hour of interruption and start sexing time to kill all but two males a indica dominant and sat dominant(based on veg structure) my indica dominant phenos grow like bubba and sat Dom pheno grow like sativa Dom dj short blueberry.

 

[caveman4.20]

More than likely the indica Dom male will be selected from uprising OG from uprising OG seed co. Tester pack and the sat. Dom male will come from my very own seeds that evolved from growing selected clones for over four years x'd with two males from eight years + of back crossing dj short blueberry x afghan.

 

[caveman4.20]

So potentially 16 females and two males in a 4x8 tent with either two six hundies or one thouie on a rail...

 

[caveman4.20]

I think I'll put a few in 36hrs darkness before flowering to see how big a difference it makes ill choose the slower growers for that experimental group.

 

[caveman4.20]

Anyone know how too harvest minimal seeds... It would be nice too harvest a handful rather than a five gallon bucket full of seeds...I mean without all the preemee seeds too doesn't hurt to ask.

 

[Dopegeist]

put pollen in vial, use fine paintbrush.

 

[caregiverken]

Yep

I use a small tupperware and a small paintbrush. Tag the branch
