Congrats on your first harvest! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said, "I don't care (how much it weighs) it's over an oz of bud I got for free" Growing your own is truly rewarding. Happy smoking and can't wait to hear that smoke report.

Looks like somebody's gonna have quite the winter stash! Great harvest, and good luck with that stank we all love to hate.

sorry I've been awol from my journal. I've been kinda busy and forgot to update it. I've succesfully grown one female plant to maturity and harvested it. I lost (misplaced) my digital camera for the better part of a month so I don't have a lot of pictures, but I have some. I harvested Sylvia...

I kinda lost track of the day I put it in flower, or when sex appeared. This is actually what I thought was a male, but it turns out I mislabled my clones or something, long story. So now I have one female, and one very small female clone flowering. My best guess is that the momma is about...

about a week or two in, not sure exact date. They smell like lifesavers candy.

I sadly found out that one of my clones started sexing. My biggest, most robust, healthiest plant, Sylvia, is a male. Pics to confirm included below. It's a sad day, I'm down to two plants and they aren't the best of the bunch. Let's hope 2 for 2 females for the last two.

Thanks for stoppin by BBP, and thanks for the compliments. You've been a great influence. I got my K2 from Nirvana, not sure if they originally came up with the strain or not. From what I know it's a "White" strain which carries with it a pleasant, spiced, fruit-like taste and a tangy aroma...

Thanks for chiming in TBG, I flushed that little lady once already, but I flushed it again because the first flush didn't seem sufficient. I ran over a gallon of water through it, and after a few days not much improvement. When you suggested I flush, I did it for the second time, and it...

I've kept the three better looking plants in veg. I've recently transplated them into 3 gal grow bags. I used a mix of FoxFarm Ocean Forest, FoxFarm Happy Frog, about 25% Perlite and the two biggest plants got some jamacian bat guanno at a dose of 2Tbs/6gal mixed in with the soil. The package...

About a week ago I made the executive decision to throw my runt of the litter plant which coincidentally was the oldest (had a rough start with the MG soil) into the cab I'm flowering clones in. It was just starting to show signs of sex and I was excited to see the changes. At first I thought...

That plant looks great BBP. If smoking your own home grown is good, then smoking your own cross must be great. I'm excited to see how this flowers out. What height or age do you usually start flowering your plants? When did you start flowering this one?

Those stone joint holders look neat, I've never seen one before. What I do when I get down to the last savory bit of a joint is put it in the carb hole of my trusty glass pipe and cover the bowl section with my thumb. It's like reversing the roles, using the bowl as a carb, and the carb as a...

The nutes I've been using are Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 3-1.5-4 The directions have different amounts for different stages of growth. For seedlings and rooted cuttings, use 1/4 ounce (7mL) of Pro Grow per gallon of water. For Mid-size plants, cacti, succculents, shrubs and houseplants...

I posted once with my problems and the consensus was that pH fluctuation, overwatering, and possible over feeding was the culprit. I went a week with only water and no nutes. This appeared to perk them up a bit. I added nutes with the next water and I got nute burn again. I've watered them...

Some good news for a change, I'm pretty sure two of my plants have shown sex. I could only get decent pictures from one of the plants, but the other plant looks exactly the same. At the node there is a little sorta pear shaped thing with two small white hairs coming out of it. From what I've...
