Fayn2madness 2012 Hot Mess

:cool::D:
All of this stuff was started at the New Year or in March. Temps got too high early, to hot for me to keep inside so I moved most of them outside andput the biggest ones into the greenhouse. I am trying my best to finish them outside by covering them with black plastic at 7pm when it's cool every day and opening them up at 9 am before it gets hot the next morning.
Hoping the shorter hours will speed them up but there are many and varied problems and I think I have too many strains going.

My favorites so far are the Moby and the White Widow and the Power Kush that looks like a mini WW. The Moby is very impressive, I got 4 nice little clones off them early on and they get frosty early too.

Any way I am just posting some pictures of what I have been up to.

Tangerine Dreams are the plants with the tomato cages in the pots. There are 2.
The young'uns in the 6" and 8" pots are Alphachronic, A critical + auto that went off as soon as it got it's leaves practically, and 3 Skunks out of a very bad batch of seed and 3 different pheno's and most of the seeds I planted were weaklings and died or never popped.
White Siberian, and a Fruity Chronic. The older plants in the Greenhouse are mostly Diesel Crosses and they give me a lot of trouble. I'm liking the strains I bought much better than what I have been working with before. The 2 original Moby beans I popped are in the greenhouse too and they are by far the best of the lot.

I hope all of my acquaintances will feel free to chime in especially if you can bring something to my attention... I'm actually thinking of scrapping all of my former strains and concentrating on the better stuff I bought.

trying to fix my cool, I'm bored

whoa! wow

So that's what heaven looks like!

So that's what heaven looks like!

seeing plants that healthy must be much like sharing a bowl with a friend. What could be better?

Thanks for the lovely compliments.
It really does NOT feel like heaven I guess I should count my blessings but they are @ 6 weeks into flower and don't seem to be progressing properly. They are pretty beat up from all of the moving around.
If you look close there are varied problems plant to plant and I'm having trouble locking in on each. There are a couple I didn't photograph thinking I'm going to toss them but I may as well see what comes of them since I've been at it this long.

Were they in Veg inside or flower? Sorry followed from the WWG over to see what was going on... super jelly of outside growers.

6 weeks into flower? I know for damn sure you're not in the us haha cause we are all getting ready for veg XD I owuldnt worry too much unless you've grown these strains before and they should be flowering faster, cause my jack herers really did look like much until about week 7 they are week 8 now and I think they will go another 2 to 3 easy.

Thanks for stopping in.
I have the big Gals in the Greenhouse. 3 different strains. On one noname plant that usually produces tight hard buds they look stretched to me. This one is of a strain I've been growing for about 15 years. That leaves a big assed Diesel that should be developing monster flowers stretching all to hell even though it is less than a foot from a 400w hps and a 400w mh.

The plants were inside my winter grow box that I use to heat the greenhouse at night when the lights are on. I cut the lights on them around March 10. At the end of the month it was in the high 80's and a couple of 90 degree days. We've got better weather now, cooler. I was sweating it though during that heat so, I cut the lights for 24 hours and put them outside one morning, the last week of march or closer to April 1.
I'm trying to finish them outside because it got so hot in early March I was worried we were done w/Spring and my box isn't good for the late spring and summer temps here in the south.
I am covering them in black plastic @ 7 pm and opening it to the sun around 9 a.m.
The plants I moved into the greenhouse have a black plastic curtain that blacks all light at around 7 pm and I open it up around 9 am.
I've been growing some of these pups since Jan 1. I sho don't want to f'up the buds now. Raining today so I got them covered but condensation will also drip from the top. Wish me luck we needed the rain but I hope it doesn't hurt my Gals.

Ok... I'm even more lost...

So they were inside till the 31st or 1st. but were exposed to 24 hours of strait darkness? Or you left them in darkness since the 10th? Maybe I'm just high...

I was probably straight when I wrote it. lol

The big gals were started from seed Jan 1. They are now in the greenhouse and I black them out at 7pm.
The bigger plants outside were started in late Jan early Feb.
The smaller plants outside in 6" and 8" pots were started March 1.

All of these plants were inside on 12 / 12 until it got too hot so I moved them out on April 1. Temps have since come way down and it is really nice weather now but they are out and I'm fine with that as long as they can finish well. I'm no good inside any way.

Because I use the room they were in to heat the greenhouse the lights were set to come on at night, so I had to let them go 24 hours in the dark to shift them to daylight.
In the greenhouse I supplement the natural light w/a 400hps and a 400 mh in the top and several cfl supplements around the lower parts of the plants. These are the largest plants. There are 6. One is a big problem. See photo.
The plants I moved outside are being blacked out with black plastic in the evening and I am also using that to keep the rain off. I'm not too stoned but more so than the last attempt, let me know if I need to get more stoned and try again.

You were swaying when you took the picture it's a little blurry.

I think one more BT and you'd be there!

But Nah I get it now, yea that one looks like it's super thirsty. Is there and sign of def of just the droopy leaves?

yeah that's what it looks like but it isn't. I've tried the cal mag, I've added a small amt of zinc. I've been ph'ing the water, I've flushed. just going to let it ride and see what she does. The long stems on the leaves are a clue and the dark curled deformed bud leaves are a clue but I can't find where I saw it before. I've been going through everything I have saved and can't find them. When the weather clears I will try for better pictures. These expensive camera's aren't as good for me as the lil casio, I may go back to that one. I'm old so I do shake a bit. What is BT?
The outside plants will be in the dark all day to keep the rain off. Hope it clears by tomorrow. Today is a steady mist like in the mountains. Yesterday I was able to open them up some between showers. Damn this is stressful! lol gotta live with what ya got though.

If you know you've done it all I unfortunately don't a have a secret to saving stunted wilting plants. I hope for the best and sometimes it works out sometimes its just fucked.

Hey Fay!!
I been wondering what you been up to since we dont get to talk that much in Freak's spot anymore! Looks like you been reeeeeeal busy!! Thanks for bringin me in...Im subb'ed! Them ladies are looking good to me. I saw some pics of a Moby plant before and yeah them girls put out some big buds! How long does it take to flower? I heard that it takes a while?

Are those autos? Cause wouldn't the want to reveg now that the days are getting longer?

Oh yeah...Deacon's paradise!! Always inspiring to say the least. I wish that I could get my outdoor going like you and Fay...but I got out-of-this-world judgmental and nosy in-laws. I hope that all is well with you bro. I still got you in my prayers.

This is my first attempt at named stock. I'm liking it a lot better though. I did a few in this blooming bunch but I had several in veg I had hoped to clone but they went off when I moved them outside.
AlphaKronic
Skunks, all but one was a waste of $$$ and several died when they popped. Problem seeds and most of the plants are crap right out of the cotyledons.
White Siberian
Blue Berry
Fruity Chronic
The Tangerine Dreams went off on me so they will be a 12 week wait at least and I had hoped to clone them for the July planting season. Maybe I'll get them cloned but the timing isn't good for reveg.
The Moby's are really nice plants. I've got some others called The Big I'm holding for June, but I may have too much already. I think I need a growing job in a legal state or somewhere where I can play with this stuff more freely. I'm very happy with the Power Kush and White Widow too. They were freebies so I only have one of each and I plan to get some clones when the weather clears to thin them out and multiply them.

clarification.

Hey Deacon,
Thanks for checking out the grow. I'm in a quandary, if you could look at the pictures on the first post of the outside gals.
If it quits raining today I'm going to get some better ones but if not hopefully it will quit by morning. Those photo's mostly were to show the environment I'm working with since I put them outside. I over fimmed everything in bloom now. I'm wondering if I should thin them more than I have.
The outdoor girls are still in the dark today cause I don't want them to get wet.
Here are some better photos of the greenhouse gals. I have more control over their environment but it isn't helping much.

fixed a photo

I have only one auto myself, one critical + auto and had popped her under 24 hr light and she went off right out of the box. The worst looking babe I've got. besides a few of the skunks (a crap purchase got ripped off on that one) but she does have buds, she must be a lil tramp.
