snaddehat Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hello everybody! As title says, this is my 1st grow ever and i'm very excited about everything heh Since i'm a total noob, i value input from all you guys. Feel free to comment/ask I'm currently in week 3 of flowering, but i have weekly pictures from when i flipped to 12/12.My setup is as follows... Tent : DS60 60x60x150cm, passive air intake down below, 140mm pc fan crammed in the top hole for air extraction, circulation fan inside tent. Thermo/Hygrometer also in tentLight : Blackstar Ufo 135w LED from Lighthouse HydroponicsStrain : 1x Exodus Cheese 2x Kalashnikova from GHS, both feminizedI'm growing in soil because i thought that was noob friendly hehe. The plants are in 19 liter Smart Pots, and i'm using BioBizz AllMix as medium. I mixed some Vermiculite in the soil too... Nutrients : BioBizz basic series... Grow, Bloom and Top MaxI think that's about it... if i forgot something, please ask!Oh, and i apologize in advance for the hysterically poor pictures. Resolution, Steady hand, Quality, Lighting... pretty much anything that constitutes a "good" picture, is lacking from these! Here's a few pics from the day before i flip to 12/12. The plants are in 11 liter pots at that time, and pictures are from repotting day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaddehat Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Flowering Day 14 Exodus Cheese is in the upper right corner, and is a little smaller because she was brought to life 2 weeks later than her older sisters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaddehat Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Flowering Day 21The Kalashnikovas are very dense plants! Exodus Cheese is now taller than the others, and seems more stretchy. Although i'm a rookie in all this, i think the girls look healthy and i'm happy so far These pics are from a week ago, so tomorrow i'll put up a fresh batch and bring the journal up to date 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaddehat Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hello all, it's been a crazy week with work, therefore this update comes a few days late... My ladies are still looking fine, i think the Kalashnikova in upper left corner seems to be a little ahead of the others with regards to resin production... oh, and the smell is slowly coming along now. When i look down from above, i count around 20 buds in direct light. Fingers crossed for a decent yield... judging from pictures, what would you guys think is attainable? Enjoy the pics Flowering Day 37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaddehat Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hi everybody! It's update time, and here's some new pictures. Not much has happened since last week, buds and resin slowly build up... I'm very excited to see how the Blackstar will perform in the last stages of flowering Will the buds fatten up..? Does anyone have any experience with Blackstar led's?

RaoulDuke Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looking good bro! I have no experience in LED lighting but am interested to see how these turn out as I will have to switch over from HPS to LED in the summer months.RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaddehat Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks man yea, i'm pretty satisfied so far, but since this is a first for me, i have no experience to hold it up against... I just hope i'll get a decent and well tasting yield in the end hehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaddehat Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Back again with some new pictures. No problems to report, all is looking good Buds are slowly growing, and it seems like one of the Kalashnikova's is ahead of her sister and the cheese in terms of resin production, smell and flower maturity. Funny, since they were all flipped at the same time... Anywho.. Enjoy the pics Flowering Day 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganja XL Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 thanks for the update, so youre in week 7 now, howmany weeks to go do you think.kalashnikova is a strain that i am interested in, so love to see the end results ..they look a bit behind as you are saying, any idea how come.

snaddehat Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 No idea... I'm not worried though, as long as they look healthy. Don't mind if they are a bit slow hehe I have stayed rather conservative with fertilizer, and just upped to full strength a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaddehat Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hiya everybody! Here's a very late update... We are now in flowering day 63, and it seems like there's at least a week or 2 more to go. I'm unsure though since this is my first grow... Inputs appreciated! Flowering Day 63 Exodus Cheese Kalashnikova 1 Kalashnikova 2 Cheese night Kalash 1 Cheese day If any of you guys can judge anything from these pictures, i could use some advice on whether i should flush now, and then dry out and harvest? ... or continue with water/nutrients for a week or longer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-Bhole Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Well it is hardly possible from pictures to say if a girl is read. Let your nose and ingers tell ya..:-) How is he smell ? Are the uds oily or sticky ? Do they still shoot out new hairs and how much of the white hair has turnes yellow or red, brown etc. ? BUT the Exodus Cheese looks close enough to start flushing and if you water it one more time afterwards they will be fine fo sure ..... The flowering was steady so 9 weeks for the Exodus is normsally more thanenough but then I grow with HPS not LED. The Kalashnikovas are more from the white family /WW background) so they don't get as dark as the Cheese I guees. Basically the same procedere but since I have not grown that strain i do not know how they look when ready. Why not get a microscope and take an insight look to the tops to see if the heads have turned amber are milky or still clear. rule of thumb. 1/3rd amber means it is more than ready. Most cut down their trees once there are a couple heads full with amber . Even if only 10% it is okay - personal choice. Best is trusting your guts - When you think now they are ready take at least a sample. Anyway this grow is already a succes - even if you had to take them down today they would make you stoned..lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaddehat Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks mate. Nice insight with the cheese how powerful is your HPS? From what i've read, i expect to go a little longer compared to HPS, but i guess we'll soon know hehe. Status now at flowering day 65 : Kalashnikova 1 looks and smells like she's ready for a flush Kalashnikova 2 seems to be a little behind her sister, but her buds are bigger and denser. We'll see... Exodus Cheese has fattened up a bit and i'll give her some more time too.I'm just using plain water now, no more nutrients 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaddehat Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Quick update : Flowering Day 67, flushed all plants (Kalash 1 on day 66). Each of them got about 60 liters of water. Kalashnikova 1 looks and smells ready, i hope she dries up quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
