Morning O.F.C. !-- Giggy my Widow doesn't like dirt !-- She did spend 2 years in water !-- I put a clone of each line in Happy Frog the T.E. and B.B. like it !-- I don't understand why!-- Maybe let the roots grow a little bigger before putting it in dirt ?---
Nes give the plant some time to recover after transplanting !-- Did U transplant before turning the light to q2/12 ?

 

[WeedHopper]

i'm so good at hiding eggs i can hide my own. lol

I would rather fish or play golf,,then hide my eggs. Lol

 

[ness]

No Keef I had already turn to 12/12 then I transplanted. I give it some bat ****, I don't think I should have done that. OH if only I would leave my finger out of it. 10 o'clock I turn the lights on. Wishing for those Hippie's Dawg to sprout then I will plant them in the ground. I'll get this right.

Good morning OFC,
Nes, i hope you are feeling better. The bat guano wouldn't hurt the plants, it is slow release. Sorry you are having trouble.. that is too bad.

Umbra, well you certainly are a better dad than you had.. If fact you are a pretty great guy to have done what you did with no help from him and the other "challenges" you faced. Good mom, good son you are.

We had a nice Easter dinner with friends last night.. Really good food and really fun "kids" that are 40.. they had been to a caucus in seattle for Bernie on Saturday. It was fun to hear about that.

Going to disinfect and de egg my grow room before my new clones come , WOO HOO. Although, if there is no plants in there i don't know how any mites could live... but i will clean the heck out of it.

It is spring... I love spring..

I got some baby Strawberry Rhino and Strawberry Elephant that I plan to move to aero today !-- It's very stressful on the plant and I do lose some !-- I pop them out the Dixie cup I started them in -- Wash all the dirt off the roots -- center them in a foam collar and place it in a basket -- Then the basket and plant go into an aero box in veg !-- It's a weed most live !-- They survive this --I got them !

 

[Rosebud]

Hey Giggy, nice to see you. glad you can hide your own eggs.. and forget where you put them. LOL.

Good morning Keef, you got your work cut out for you dude.

 

[Keef]

One day maybe I learn to start seed in aero ! --

 

[Keef]

I'm looking for a strong Strawberry and the Strawberry Elephant is a T.E. male on my female Widow --A girl from that cross was bred to a Strawberry Rhino !-- I needs to know !-- Giggy that T.E. - Widow cross was sister to the one U grew !

Hey. Good morning to everyone. So in following everyone's advice. But I got a bit of an emergency question. The picture attached.IS NOT MY PLANT ROOTS. IT IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENED. the main reason I haven't transplant is because my hands aren't very steady and I'm always afraid of hurting it more. Plus I wasn't wanting huge plants this time either. But I was almost done. Putting the dirt and roots j to the new 2.5gal pot and the bottom section fell off. Dirt and roots both. How bad do you think it will hurt it. No time to order anything online to help and no grow stores local here. Anything I can do. The roots in this picture are thicker than mine. But you get the idea of what broke off and what's left

This happened to my largest plant right now in the second pic. If it uploads this time. Lol

The larger plant in the back is the one this happened to. It's always been very healthy. I think is is either. WWxBB. or strain hunter money maker. But it could also be afghani or LSD-25. I got them all mixed up so can't tell until they bloom

Good Morning OFC. Yes Rose it is a beautiful spring morning. Oranges are falling off the tree and the plums are getting fat. I was glad to see how well Bernie was doing at the polls. I saw Elizabeth Warren's fb page congratulating him.
My son and I have managed to make amends, I hope it lasts. Lots to do. Getting ready to flip the girls.

 

[umbra]

Evets it is hard to say how it will effect them. Transplant and water them. It may have a small delay to them or it might be a week or more. I would continue to veg until they are showing signs of growing again and then flip them.

 

[Keef]

Evets -- That is an example of root bound -- U worries about the roots too much !--- When U transplant and have roots like that --I would run a knife from top to bottom several times around d the root ball !-- I will give the roots new places to grow from the cut ends of the root !-- I've never grown Autos so don't know much about them except I couldn't do what I do with autos !---I like to control when a plants goes to bloom !--- Nothing personal and it's just my opinion -- I think autos are an abomination and should be wiped from the face of the earth !-- Breeding say my Widow to an auto and calling it an Auto Widow is like breeding a race horse to a plow horse --- What U get is no racehorse !

 

[Evets1989]

But you don't think it will kill it completely tho right? I figured t would droop for a few days atleast but hoping that's all it does. And I'm hoping it doesn't set the yield back to much. This plant is looking like it will be a decent yield for such a small setup. You can usually start to tellbat the end of veg I'm going to give her Two more weeks probably atleast maybe 3because it's suppose to be an AUTO. i thought I ordered all auto flower seeds but I was looking and some are Photo Sooo I am going crazy trying to get everything together better

 

[Evets1989]

Well I though I ordered all Auto flowering seeds but I was looking and some are Photo. So since I got them mixed up when I first plant them. I'm going to control them like PhOto plants Thanks Keef. Yeah I was a bit too worried. But I don't get to grow much or often so these babies are my girls. I want them to have a nice grow I don't need anything too crazy or I would have prepared better. My next one I'm ordering a special seed and going to do it all out! Mailing a grow box for it and going to keep journal so I can show everyone it too. Any recommendations for an amazing plant to grow. I want the most colorful girl k can get. But I would like a strain that give me tons of energy and pain relief

 

[Evets1989]

I wanted auto because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to control my light enough for a good photo grow. But apparently I got carried away when choosing the strains and ordered the Photo anyways so now I don't know. I'm just going to control them like a photo plant

 

[Keef]

There sound like the plant has plenty roots transplant shouldn't hurt and will probably help !---We all learning in the O.F.C. !--- I like my photos! -- My Widow will be 3 years old in August! -- I don't know how many clones I've ran thru bloom ! -- Speaking of small grows I think Giggy has an old fridge and a freezer he turned into grow boxes -- If I remember right !--

 

[umbra]

treating autoflowering plants like a regular photo plant will give you much less yield on the autos

 

[Keef]

Cuz U talking about a straight up sativa like Grandaddy Purple !-- Growing a sativa inside can get touchy !-- I would suggest an indica or Indica heavy hybrid !---Might want to try a fast finisher like the AKs !--- Get a few grows under your belt and some weed in jars then maybe tackle a sativa !--- It can be done LST and SCROG !--

 

[Keef]

What up Umbra ? -- How did that Cherry Limeade turn out ? -- Had me lusting for some !

 

[Evets1989]

Ok so I got it figured out partial. My LSD-25 is auto. WWxBB is regular photo. Along with the Bubba Kush/Gods Gift strain is photo. And j think the Afghani Regular is photo as well as it didn't say which it was. And my Strain Hunters"Money Maker" which is photo. And an old skool plant Remember I got them mixed up after they started growing. But
The large one I believe is Bubbas Gift. Mainly cus of how much fast it's grown than the others. But I honestly can not guess at them. I'll know when they bid cus they are very different looking strains
