Indoor Grow journal- AutoMazar,White Russian and Fast Bud

[FullDuplex]

Thanks FullD, as they age they wont look so bad. It shouldn't get any worse cause I ain't using that no more. But I thought....Hay, that was my problem, I thought.... If I would have stuck with my plans this wouldn't have happened. But oh well. I'll hit you back when I start the teas, thanks man.

You got it my man, and you are correct as they age those parts will slowly heal to a certain point.
And its a constant learning process too. There are things that i still learn every day out there with this hobby
and thats the part about it all that i love, Wiz told me if they ever stop teaching you something then why continue to grow them?
Made a few things just click after that.

I think that once you move to teas you will stay there. Yeah its messy but so worth it in the end if you look at the way the plants taste
and look after a full run on all organic. If you love soil now you will love it even more after a full on organic run.


Good question. :thumbs:

Good answer :smoke:
Gotta comment on my own thread, don't I?. I love it guys.[/QUOTE]

Sorry I've not been here for a few days. Our rotti, family dog of 11 years, died yesterday. She was one hell of a dog...
I'll update soon. Thanks.

21 pics update with new info to go along and of course the Mazar #1 clones

I just spent the last 45 min. updating and hit a wrong key and lost it all
Ok, here we go again....
I believe I left off on the 23rd of April...On this day, I took 3 Clone cuttings from the Mazar #1. I was attempting to slow her grow down, but that didn't work at all...Her genetics are what they are...HUGE...
Now I don't know anything about clones but what I've read and I've only made 2 others in my time. They were off a photo plant on my last grow. So yeah, I'm very new at this...What I've read about cloning sounds tricky and may not be for everyone...I think this is bull...Anybody can do it if I can.
Here's how I did my clones the easy way. :thumbs:
First I make my cut. No special angle just grab and snip...Here's the TRICKY part...
After I cut it, I hold it about an inch from the cut, and squeeze and smash the cut end. You'll hear a pop after you squeeze it...Then I take my scissors and just start cutting vertically up the stem about 1/4 of an inch. Kinda mutilating the cut end. This, from what I read, is suppose to give the new roots, plenty of places to grow from. Here's a pic of my LSD photo clone roots.

Since this was my first clone and even with that one, I was only trying it. I did harvest it but I haven't taken any pics of it yet. If anybody wants to see it, ask, and I'll post one...
Now that the cut end is all frayed out, I dipped my clones in some Wal-Mart brand rooting powder. Nothing special...And then straight into the soil I grow with...That's it folks. All there is to it...Ok, there's a bit more. Here's a pic of my home made incubator. It's a small milk create wrapped in seran wrap with the bottom left open for covering the clones.

I'll keep the clones under there for 2 weeks, then I'll start acclimating them to the light...While there there, I spray the inside of the incubator 2 times a day with 7.0 ph balance water to keep the humidity up and before I go to bed, I lightly spray the undersides of the clone leaves. Since they don't have any roots yet, that's how they drink....Here they are when I first cut them, on the 23rd of April...

Here they are 6 days old...

Ok, enough with the "how I do it" cloning. On with the grow..
4-25-11 31 days old:
Watered all plants Ph= 7.0 No ferts.

4-26-11: 32 days old.
Member "gearbear" got me thinking about pollination. I told him and everyone else that I didn't have any pollen or I would pollinate my Mazar #1. So today, I got to digging through my seeds and what not in the fridge and I came across some 2 year old Diesel Ryder pollen and some auto AK-47 pollen that didn't looks so good. So anyway, I tried them both on seperet branches and we'll see what happens. Wait till I get to the 29th....

4-27-11: 33 days old
Gave the Mazar #1 some water and food. She's a thirsty and hungry witch...The PPM=1100 & the weight was .440 oz and added .261 oz of PH up. PH=7.0
Here's some pics of them with there heights...
White Russian #1 25 1/2'' tall

White Russian #2 24 1/2'' tall

Fast Bud #1 22'' tall

Fast Bud #2 18'' tall

AutoMazar #1 39'' tall

I just like this pic

AutoMazar #2 14'' tall

Here's a pic of the plants tops today

4-28-11:
Fully watered/ferted all but Mazar #1(good for today) PPM=1100 PH=7.0 Same weights used as above.

4-29-11: It's a miracle. Some how I got some of NC420's 4 way pollen. Guess what I did with it. Yelp, pollinated yet another branch of the Mazar #1...It appears the other 2 pollens took. I think. If the diesel pollen worked, that's got to be a record for keeping viable pollen. Can't wait to see if I get 3 different strains out of this plant.

4-30-11:
Had to add the TT105 lamp fixture. My Mazar #1 is getting to big and she needs more light. Same bloom/veg. combo for the new light. Here's a pic and the Mazar is 46'' tall today!

5-1-11:
Watered/ferted Mazar #1 again. TB .490 oz w/PPM=1190 PH=7.0
Also, here's a few extra pics I have.
Fast bud #1 37 days old

Fast Bud #2 37 days old

I think I put this one up already, but like I said, I like it

Well, that catches me up. Hope it's not to much reading. Enjoy family :thumbs:

Thanks JM. Yeah, it was a power update . It took me about an hour and a half to catch up...You'll like the crushing method. It works well man.

 

[gearbear]

Nice operation ya got there.

 

[NC420]

You are the florescent king Ripster!!!
Has the PBD pollen took?

Thanks gearbear. It's just a spare bedroom converted. Waiting, oh maybe not:dance2: , on my state to get legal.

Those Mazars are gorgeous!
Love the size!
If the pollen takes, those seeds are going to be in high demand!!

Sorry to hear about your dog. Mine of 12 yrs passed away about 2 years ago. Took me a year before I got another one.

Thanks Thai. I hope so. That would be cool. Those Mazar's are funny...I mean in the same packet, I got a super auto and a stumpy auto. Tallest and shortest..

Also, I appreciate you commenting on my dog. She meant alot to the family...

Hay NC420, you slipped in there while I was typing...

Well, their cheap, cool to run and just plain great... Thanks man.

I think I may get a hand full of seeds. I've never used a Q-tip to pollinate before, so I'm running a little experiment. I decided to do this cause I have noticed some pistols starting to die off. Which would indicate pollination...I took a clean Q-tip and rubbed it on some pistols on my WR #1. I wanted to see if they die off as well. If not, then I'd say confirmed pollination. I'll post in a few days with the results.
