Melvanetics BeP and Super Buckeye grow

[N.E.wguy]

hey man nice to see the progress just catching up on the end will back track thru after

but males are not always a bad thing if you can get them far away from the girls, i was lucky i got mine at the time of year the males just went right out the back door into the sun. but that's not happening for you right now i know that. maybe a closet some where grab some pollen save it and try to pollinate some clones later of the fems.


the genetics are they from that user melvin that was on here no idea if she is around still here think it was a her, she used to breed, anyone know what i'm talking about? ( e/ haha answered in post 4 by Rose ty Rose )



any way green mojo for you guys keep at it it gets easier once you can just clone then hope for fems

e/ the lack of light may make the leaves look all funny to

Hey oldfogey, thanks for the updates.

Remind your kids to go light on the feed on the BP at the start, she won't demand anywhere near the same levels of N as the hybrids.

i found u shoudl of started on page 1 not the last page lol i just like pics haha

measured the runoff from the flushing i did. the tds meter reads about 240. the ph is 6.2. my water runs at 100 and 6.0.

 

[oldfogey8]

the purple girl is back in the tent with her brothers. i changed the lighting back to 24/0 since i don't care if i hermie the boys...

 

[000StankDank000]

The boys? You mean the girls I hope.
I got my buckeye purple and I'm pulling for yours fogey

 

[oldfogey8]

No. The boys have only one or two identifiable flowers. I don't want to kill them just yet. The tent is back to all light all the time so I am hoping they re-veg as I need to veg the purple girly for a while longer(all my eggs are in one basket now)...

 

[oldfogey8]

how good am i? i am good enough to get 8 out of 12 cuttings to root. awesome you say? not really... the only 'clones' that took root were from the male super buckeyes. fml...

on a positive note: 2 of the buckeye purple cuttings look healthy so there is some hope.

How long has it been? (sorry if it's been written)

 

[oldfogey8]

I started the cuttings a little less than 2 weeks ago(3/20/2015)

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Yeah, if they look good and green still and not all beat up, they are most likely rooting.

ooooor just living off the water they have until they die... we'll hope it's the rooting part! hah

 

[oldfogey8]

so they fell out of the cloning 'cubes' when i put them back in my hillbilly 'bubbler' and there are no roots. think i should cut the stems fresh and use my rooting hormone again. for the record, i used bee honey for the cuttings that rooted so that would be my rooting hormone...

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Hmm maybe? Not entirely sure

 

[oldfogey8]

Mel said indica dominant strains can take longer to root. Prolly will leave them be for now since they look healthy. Looking into getting some super thrive tomorrow to invigorate my 'only child.'...

 

[oldfogey8]

i am a big puss. i hate to chop. it is like i am killing a pet. but then i have 2 boys. i am back to veg lighting in my tent and the purple girly is back with the boys. should i bite the bullet and just kill the boys before an accident happens?the male flowers are still not opening. i was thinking i'd like to try to pollinate a cola to get some seeds out of the deal but will that totally mess the female up? will the rest of her be good smoke? i also broke down and got some superthrive and gave some to the purple girly(both root feeding and a lite dose of foliar feeding).

 

[N.E.wguy]

pming u

 

[oldfogey8]

new pictures of the tiny purple girl in my tent...

sometimes i think she is looking better, others not-so-much. she is really slow. it is like watching grass grow so to speak. she is three months from sowing the seed.

so i now have a super buckeye plant that is almost 4 weeks from seed and a buckeye purple that is about 2 and a half weeks from seed. wish me luck. oh, and poor, poor sickly betty the stunted purple is still scratching out an existence...

Did anything make it to flower yet fogey?

 

[oldfogey8]

lol. no. nothing in flower yet, dank. patience of a saint anyone who is watching this slow motion train wreck... i promise i will have some bud **** at some point in the not to distant future. either that or another really weak sad story. honest. i have grown some good smoke. this buckeye purple is just kicking my ***. i am sure the super buckeye would have been awesome smoke at this point had they not both turned out to be males! having an unlucky streak. time for some good luck.

 

[000StankDank000]

Fogey the purple buckeye ain't an easy girl to grow. I was so afraid to over feed I have starved mine and I could call em the yellow buckeye lol.
Hang in there. Have you thought about using HPS to flower?
