START OF HEADBAND SEEDS ($70/8th) 3rd JOURNAL!

[GMCORP]

oooooh clooooones. I thought those were vegetating plants and wondered what was going on.... :bong:

Ok guys I had this mother plant on 24/7 light then last night decided to put a timer on it for 18/6 with the three clones under the 400 watt HPS. SHE STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF ***!!! IT'S A FEMALE THANK GOD! But why the early signs of flowering when it's been under 24/7 light for 40 days and 18/6 for one day. Is hippie headband an auto flowering breed? This looked more like an afghani/indica but could it be crossed with ruderelis? Just wondering if you guys have had any experience with this strain? I clipped four clones so my best bet is they will start flowering also? I put one of the clipped clones in 12/12 to see what *** the mother plant will be but she's flowering before any of the other ones? So let me know what you guys have found out if anything personnal bout this strain?

Showing *** just means it's ready to flower. All breeds do it at different times, regardless of the light cycle. Just means it's ready for 12/12:hubba:. Congrats on the girl :bong:

Its just weird I've always grown schwag seeds and they wouldn't show signs until I put her on 12/12 or at least 3 weeks after I switch to 18/6! But you re-assured me now I feel better ;-) THANKS!

7 clones and the mother plant doing real well!

 

[ZTEC]

Now up to 11 clones and used a box with a light bulb in it with a thermostat to keep the soil warm about 85 degrees! Mother plant doing well!

Pics of 11 clones - some clipped 20th and 23rd and then 27th under bottles gonna do more tom. And mother plant is gettin very bushy on the top lookin healthy! Happy its a female!

Here are some pics of the current operation. First pic are three plants I put on 12/12 in the flowering room, going to add 3 more tonight! Second pic is a pic of the clones that are in the vegetative stage, the foam box has a light bulb inside with a thermostat hooked up to it to keep the box around 85 degrees so root production can take off a little more without warming up the room. The third pic is a picture of the clones recently clipped and still in the high humidity stage hence the bottles around the tops of the cups. The final pic is the pic of the mother plant who looks very healthy in her 5 gallon pot! Hopefully if all goes well will be able to harvest end of Feb, or first week of Mar! CANT WAIT!

How do those plants in the gatorade bottles get oxygen?

They create it on their own, plants need CO2. ;-)

Thought I would update the log. Currently 12 clones but one is looking a little droopy and might be slow to root. The mother plant currently has 3 more clones ready to be clipped but I'm gonna wait for this spring and just clip those and whatever more has grown then and also place mother outdoors. I have 6 plants currently in the flowering stage 3 from 2 weeks ago (still no signs of flowering yet [I think from too much light getting into box the first week]) and 3 from 1 week ago (I placed in darkness for 24 hours to see if that will help produce flowers quicker). The humidity is staying around 40% and would like to place light closer to plants but its already getting to warm in my box (75 - 80 degrees F). Looking for a good organic fertilizer like Fox Farm or a cheaper brand to add to the plants instead of store bought bone meal and blood meal? The distance between nodes is kind of bothering me because I know it's not getting enough light with the light about 24" - 30" above plants (400 watt HPS). But here's a few pics let me know what you guys think of the setup so far? THANKS!

actually, roots need oxygen hon.

Re-arranged a few things and got a few of the clones into vegetative stage, and added a few more to the flowering room! Transplanted a few into larger pots and a few are beginning to show signs of flowering. I mix 1 part peat, 3 parts soil, 2 cups of perlite, half cup of 6-12-0 bone meal, and 3 teaspoons 5-5-3 with micro nute fertz. I began LST on mother plant because it's getting to big for my grow area and it's got a few more clones ready to be taken off. Middle of March should be harvest time just in time for outdoor GROW!! Can't wait to take this girl outside and see what she can do. But gotta go for now here the pics. First two are the flowering room - Next two are mother plant and vegetative plants and clones, same with last 2.

Exciting news, ordered 400 metal halide to help move things along, and also some bubble ice bags! I'll have more pics and info on my operation later tonight if I get time, TO EXCITED!!

 

[SmknWhiteWidow]

looks great ztec, are u gonna use the MH the whole way through or is it a conversion light where you can switch to hps? lookin forward to seeing how they progress under the new light.

 

[Pothead420]

what type of light are the clones under just curious looks like purple or pink light??

 

[ZTEC]

This is just a reg. MH ballast non transferable but I already have a HPS 400 watt. This light is amazing my plants are just blowing up! I got a few in the flowering room that are about done! The light I had on before was an aquarium light so it was a little purple and not doin anything for my plants. So happy to have the MH in the family now. Here are some pics of the new setup since the last time I updated SORRY FOR THE DELAY!
