Anyone ever grown it themselves? I got a friend trying it out... he got 10 feminised seeds and thinks he is gonna get a few pounds

greentea · 06-27-2003, 05:44 PM

Too much heat at my current residence. But I'm reading up on it and will be ready to grow once I find a new place.

Pete · 06-27-2003, 05:46 PM

I used to grow it all the time.

detoxed · 06-27-2003, 05:46 PM

been to overgrow, not trying to get tips just starting a conversation

[Labret] · 06-27-2003, 05:47 PM

feminized schmenized. Out of 10 seeds, 8 will come up. half will end up being male, and he will be lucky if he has 4 good plants come harvest time.

whats the strain?

greentea · 06-27-2003, 05:48 PM

I have been eyeing this for a while now, anyone got one?

candyflip · 06-27-2003, 05:48 PM

Is he doing soil or hydro? Indoor or out? What type of lighting setup does he have?

~Ray · 06-27-2003, 05:49 PM

4 good plants might get him a pound...

he has a 430w HPS remote ballast setup. doing it in a bathtub with the light hanging down from above with adjustable height.

strain is Power Plant from Dutch Passion

[Labret] · 06-27-2003, 05:51 PM

nice.

Line the walls with Mylar, get some earth juice, and you good to go.

That's a great setup. They've even got a decent sized light in it as well.

But you could probably build one youself for less than 1/3 the price. A 600 watt lamp will only run you about $300, that and the CO2 setup are the only real costly pieces to the puzzle.

Tell "your friend" to invest in a TDS meter keeping track of the minerals/plant food that you're feeding them. This is a very important tool...a good one will run you $100-150.

You mentioned that he's doing it in a bathtub. I hope this isn't in a bathroom that he might have to use regularaly. At some points...they plants need total darkness for 12-18 hours.

detoxed · 06-27-2003, 05:57 PM

haha no its an extra bathroom, gonna do 20/4 light cycle to start out once the seeds are germinated

[Labret] · 06-27-2003, 05:58 PM

at some point? ahaha they will need total darkness to flower.

After 4 weeks of 24, you have to switch to 12/12. Depends on how big you want your bush.

You guys should look into scrog to maximize space, harvest, and most importantly... time.

~Ray · 06-27-2003, 06:00 PM

Yes... TDS/PH meters are a must if you're doing hydro.

It's been a while since the lights were fired up, but I'm pretty sure 12/12 is where you want to be for flowering.

Is scrog a shortening of "sea of green"?

Not sure if I understand you.

The plants will grow under 24 hours of light, thats the point. Going to 12/12 tricks the plant into thinking seasons are changing and tells it its time to flower (ie make buds). You dont want to start with 12/12 as the plant will come right out of the ground and head straight into flowering. And unless you want tiny tiny plants.

Let the plant go for a month, they grow like weeds, no pun intended. get them to about 12 to 14 inches, and then hit 12/12. They will jump about another foot or more during flower(depending on how far the light is kept from the plant).

Shit, you can keep them in 24 hour light for 3 months if you want to end up with monster plants.

Yeah, scrog is the sea of green method.

candyflip · 06-27-2003, 06:10 PM

I was pretty sure this was the case, so I double checked.

from Overgrow.com

"12/12 is the standard cycle for flowering Cannabis plants indoors"

I was also told that constant light is not healthy for growing babies. They need some downtime, so 18 on and 6 off is ideal.

First rule of growing. Don't tell anyone you're doing it.

[Labret] · 06-27-2003, 06:13 PM

Ive have done several moderate sized grows, and will keep seedlings under normal light until they are about 4 inches tall. Then get them under 24 hours of 450 watt high pressure sodium. Never hurts them. Then if you really want to kick them in the sack, switch to 1000 watts during flower and grow like a pro.

I've got a 150 watt and a 1000 watt sitting in storage. I wish I had not gotten the 1000, and gone with the 600. In small spaces that fucker puts off a TON of heat...no matter how much circulation we had, it was tough to keep the proper temp.

[Labret] · 06-27-2003, 06:26 PM

Yeah, you need a big room for 1000 watts, no closet grows with those things. I had a grow once in an entire apartment sized bedroom just using the 450 watt and it was a constant 96 degress. Which is fine, but was a pain in the ass. Plus you stand under those things long enough, and I dont know about you, but my skin used to feel funny right afterwards.

Ahhh the smell and sound of hps, that orange glow of heaven.

Fletch XXX · 06-27-2003, 06:27 PM

how many watts is sunlight?

hehehe

maxjohan · 06-27-2003, 06:29 PM

My friend is planing for a indoor growing..

btw, 1000 watts is huge..you do around 10 plants on that?

candyflip · 06-27-2003, 06:30 PM

Ahhhh...the buzz and hum. That brings back memories.

My supplier here now has a buddy who rented two apartments on above a bar. He lived in one and in the other...they had 8 1000 watters. They laid down plastic tarps and dump soil right on the floor of the apartment and grew just like that. I want to say they had about 200 plants.

The got thru harvest and cleared the place out...well, the plants at least. 3 days after hauling the load out the place got raided. Lost their lights...but with what they had, I'm sure they replaced them pretty quickly.

You can do more than 10 under 1000. Ive done 10 under 450 no problem.

If you scrog real tight under 1000 I bet you could do 20 to 30. But thats too much weed.

I did, and the plants rocked. Northern Lights/Kush from Marc Emery in BC.

I had an entire attic space, did it in the winter. There were circulating fans on both sides of the attic. The space was 10 feet wide by 20 feet long. Even when the temp out side was in the teens, the room was hotter than hell at about 98.

but why not tight it up a little with scrog

thanks for the good guide.

candyflip, next time..buy two 600 watts.

There won't be a next time. Too much at stake now. As much as I'd not like to have to spend any green on the green, the risk is just too high. Someday perhaps we'll all be free to do as we please...somewhere at least. The first spot in North America that makes it legal...I'm there.

Well...first place besides Cali. I've got ferrets, and some 1920's California law makes them illegal as well...something about eating chickens.

candyflip · 06-27-2003, 07:04 PM

First time out sucked ass. But it's definitely a learning process.

I've always started with 10 seeds. I could get clones now if I wanted...this would be ideal.

The second time out...8 germinated and by the time we had sexed them I had 7 females. That's a hell of a good ratio.

We got anywhere from just under 2 oz to just over 4 oz on the various plants. Total yield was something around 1.6 pounds. I didn't give any to anyone, and my girl and I had a nice private stash. We started right back up and this harvest lasted us until the process was complete again, at which point we had it down pat.

candyflip · 06-27-2003, 07:04 PM

maxjohan · 06-27-2003, 07:25 PM

I think its just pathetic its illegal..why? why not alcohol? why not mobile phones?

good storie..I hope my friend get your second time his first time..

1.6 pound is very good. I hope he can come close..

Do you use hydro or soil?

I heard the taste should be diffrent between hydro and soil, what do you think about that?

If i had time and space i would attempt to build it and save a shit load of cash, im actually working on a barter for it, so hopefully i dont have to pay for it.
