IMgreen's first hydro grow! WW/WR in a river/waterfall/bio-bucket system

[IMgreen]

thanks fellas!

I dunno what I'll do next budslinger, any "plans" I ever make when it comes to growing have never really come out the way I want, and machine building is just so much fun that I'll HAVE to try a couple other methods as time goes by.

This machine is good for four plants but I was looking for more (though 4 is prolly more than enough now for a mostly solo smoker)

doob3r - I know some JT of course and I know "he" aint the singer in a band... I can hear the words to bungle in the jungle in my head but not much of a fan... I don't think I change stations on the radio when they play it... (but I might)

Was more of a U2 fan back in the day, even their weird shit

[IMgreen]

beating that really big plant into submission was not such a good idea...

she has pollen sacks!!

Last break was a really rough one and she apparently did not heal fast enough from a bad stem split

I do that ALL the time too, to aggressive breakage and bam - BALLS!!

least this time I aint over feeding them!

I gotta build a scrog next and supercrop GENTLY, not use it for height control!

there is no chance of any of the sacks being viable yet and being as she is a hermie now I am seriously considering saying fuck it and let them seed (or do I bother to cut it out?)

I was going to breed seeds anyways, least this way I have a chance at femmed seeds from the other three (2 WW and the WR)

I have yet to have a plant with NO seeds, a few with only a couple at best in more recent grows and yeah, I was hoping this grow would be different but NO....

it kinda pisses me off KNOWING that I caused it again

I have caused more hermies than I care to think about over the past two years! Thought it was the seeds being predisposed, but it aint, it's the gardener...

MJ aint as tough as I think it is, least not as rough and rugged as I am!

[IMgreen]

here's what I found this morning on her it whatever





kill it or breed seeds is where I am right now

leaning towards seeds

was going to breed them anyways, though I was not gonna mix the strains, but i only have one wr anyways

what would you call that a Wx2R?

[eleven357]

aww shit man. Looks like it wants to fuck itself! haha jk!

Did you use feminized seeds?

Just curious man, that sucks!

[IMgreen]

regular seeds, this was due to abuse, plain and simple

downside is I'll have seedy green...

upside is I will NEVER have to BUY WW seeds ever again!

fuck it, i can totally live with that

and if they do turn out femmed seeds from the other three plants, even better

[doob3r]

sucks dude, but dont beat your self up over it to much its still a great friggin grow with tons of info being shared, one of the best journals to date.

[IMgreen]

yeah, shit happens whattaya gonna do?

I'm still green and it shows but this is how ya learn, I know that I beat the shit outta the poor thing now I gotta NOT do that again

on a brighter note

One of the clones has roots!

She was the smallest if the bunch and in a peat pellet

I kinda had that one pegged as "to small to make it" but was wrong about THAT too

[doob3r]

good stuff chuck i hope they all root

[IMgreen]

cut a bunch off the smallest plant just now, took 8-9 and got them in the veg closet
(veg chamber sound so much cooler than closet)

I am also going to try something silly, just to see if it works...

cut a big and a HUGE branch and am gonna throw them into baskets and hang them in the machine under 12/12 to see IF I can get them to root...

no rooting stuff cuz I dont wan it in the res, just lil baskets of lavarock

will this work or am I wasting two nice branches?

and if you KNOW that it won't work, do say so, cuz I can veg them I got room....

[IMgreen]

I just smoked a little bit of just dried off that coco plant, 2 bowls and I am doing good!

The rest of the plant is drying in a bag slowly, I took out to small ones to dry faster
3 days in regular room air*, it takes the bag about 8-10 til they get snappy

*got NO green (kinda)

It'll be ok when it cures, not really good but its better than the filler I have been smokin
(3-4 bowl buzz, sucks!!)

topped the hermie below the split and pulled off all the pods I saw

(btw i started typing this about 15 minutes ago, maybe this pot is a little better than I thought)

lol

I gotta get back to work!

[IMgreen]

this is the brand new (not even immature yet!) bud off the top of that plant

(to bad that aint a HUGE bic!)

the plants been flowering for 21 days, under 12/12 for 31

I couldn't bring myself to throw away the first white widow anything

even if it's .05G of 3 week aint gonna do a godamn thing waste of nutes mutant hermie bud - it's drying in the box

what a fuckin beat intro to WW!!

damn now I am annoyed again...

need coffee and another bowl, then I'll get back to the grind...

[sergio]

Can't you trim the balls off and let it grow out?

Don't make seeds from a hermie man! You the hermie making dude.

My buddy had one and he cut all the balls off and he had no seeds.

You won't get fem seeds from a plant that hermied. You'll get more hermies.

Is this post too late ? did you chop it already?

Sorry for the troubles.

[IMgreen]

Aint gonna chop it, gonna try to breed me some femmed seeds!

if you pollinate seeds from a hermie into itself you get genetically predisposed hermie seeds... (maybe)

but if you cross a hermies's pollen with a female plant you get feminized seeds

at least that's how I understand it...

Now I can be totally wrong about this, but I am gonna pull off most of the sacks (am sure I will miss and leave a few pods) and those should pollinate the three other females (and itself of course)

seeds from the hermie - I dunno what they'd grow out to become but seeds from the other three - 2xww and 1x wr - should be feminized...

thoughts?
