[MEGA]Community Growing advice, tips, tricks, & experiences Part 4

I read a complete growing journal of Cream caramel auto and Black jack on thcfarmer I think, which made me want to grow both so badly haha!

Before I get into the process, I want to have the fastest possible grow, that's why I was looking at auto female seeds, do you think after 15 weeks i'll be able to have the weed stored? I'm leaving in about 18 to 20 weeks, so is it safe to cure the buds a little bit and then put them in a vacuum sealed bag and in the freezer for about a month or I should worry about mold forming because the bud will still humid?

If i remember well, it took about 65 days after germination for the plant to be ready to be harvested in the growing journal. My only concern is storing it when i'll be gone.

If everything looks fine I will be starting my first grow within a couple weeks :)

If you think i'll be able to pull it in time, I might try that KC36 too, keeping it in my toolbar for the future :) Also, in the third picture of Kc36, is that a spidermite web a little bit left from the main bud?

Thanks again mate!
 
Hey growers! Just a pic of some of my last harvest. Pre-98 Bubba Kush.

LOL I reply to a comment that says 'I'm in week 5 of flowering' and ask how far along into flowering he is! I don't know what was going through my head!

Wolf, you managed to get the clone-only pre-98 BK? That's interesting. How does it smoke? Do you like it? I've got a similar strain which is 76 Afghan x Pre-'98 Bubba Kush, called 'Bubba 76'. I can't wait to grow it out!

Hmmm, I want to use a computer-type fan to blow some air on the plants in my future grow room, but can't seem to find a way to make it operational since it has a positive and negative wire. Do I need to use batteries or will their be any way I can patent something to just plug it in a 120V outlet?

Thanks for the help!
 
use a small 12v dc power supply. you can buy an inexpensive one at radio shack.. even the smallest one can probably handle up to five computer fans..
 
Thanks papa I will buy one of these!

For those who have ever bought seeds online, do you recommend buying something like a t-shirt from the same website too so the order doesn't get lost easily? I remember reading something similar but can't remember if the source was trustworthy :/
 
hoes call me santa, try and invest in a variable voltage DC power transformer. That way if you ever need to use it for something else that has a different voltage e.g. 9V, you'll still be able to use it. You might need to chop off the adaptor fitting to expose the two wires.

As for your question about ordering from that seedbank (I know exactly which one you're talking about!), no don't bother. That option is only really intended for international orders. If it's domestic i.e. in the same country, there's no point. I've ordered countless seeds from them and I've never had a lost order. It just doesn't happen (or at least I've never heard of it happening). Make sure you select the option that says you want to keep it in the original breeders packaging. That will increase the likelihood there are no mistakes and you get the seeds you've ordered because they haven't been confused with something else.
 
Alright thanks for your answer.

Since i'm in Canada i'm going to get a t-shirt with it to make sure it doesn't get lost. I just ordered from that UK seedbank since they offer some interesting seeds in complement of my order :)

I got : 5 Sweet seeds Black Jack auto, 5 Sweet seeds Cream Caramel auto and 1 Dinafem Og Kush feminized seeds. I got for free Dinafem diesel, Dinafem white siberian (White widow x Ak47), Dinafem Shark attack (super skunk x White widow) and Dinafem sweet deep grapefruit (grapefruit x blueberry).

Can't wait to start with the auto seeds and try the other ones when I have more experience and more time to grow them :D
 
I got the Dinafem Sweet Deep Grapefruit with my KC Mango and KC 33 seeds. It looks like a really interesting strain - a cross of grapefruit and blueberry. I can't wait to grow it out!

Here's a tip for next time you order. If I were you I would go with their once-a-month offer. If you sign up to their newsletter you'll be notified of the dates of the offer each month automatically. On the last offer you could get 7 free seeds in addition the normal freebies. I got these free strains:

World of Seeds NL x Big Bud
Delicious Seeds Fruity Chronic Juice
Emerald Triangle Bubba 76 (the one I mentioned above)
G13 Labs Blueberry Gum
TH Seeds MK Ultra
Eva Seeds Veneno
Dinafem OG Kush.

So next time you order I would wait for the next offer to be done.

But yeah, those strains you've ordered look awesome! Dinafem are a cracking breeder, despite the criticism towards them for only doing feminized seed. Despite this I've never seen anything but good things said by people actually growing their strains.
 
I will check it out for sure, I just subscribed to their newsletter. I find it awesome because it makes me discover other strains that I would have probably not even have looked for in the first place :)

That's the best way to accumulate seeds and not having enough time to grow all of them, but it's like a collection! I also bet you already have too many seeds yourself haha

Exactly, it's a great way of finding those strains that are really good but you just never thought of trying!

Yeah I've got so many strains it would take ages to get through them all! I love it when Dinafem do freebies since they're one of my favourites, but the other strains from other breeders they do are great as well. Most of the time they are really good strains from really good batches because the breeders know that if growers who grow strain like their work then they may very well go out and buy a pack, bringing them in more business, so most of the time the seeds are definitely worth trying IMO. In fact, this is how a lot of the new breeders get established. They give away loads of free seeds to the seedbank and establish their name and reputation so they can start selling the seeds because people know they're good. If the breeder is shit then they probably won't bother doing this because they'll just get laughed at on the forums =D

Yep that's the one. It tastes like chocolate and coffee, gets me very hungry and even more sleepy. Definitely a favorite night smoke of mine. That 76 sounds tight.
 
Changed the soil and switched the outtake fan to intake mode to get the plant a bit vibrating...and the result within 1 day

was about to kick the plant because the sight of her was frustrating me so much

also the final setup for that PC-Case looks like this:

Probably going to build a Beer can reflector soon ( I hate the part where you acutally have to drink the beer, weed ruined alcohol for me damn...i need to work on my drinking skills, im german ;) )
also the 3 kc33xlowryder seeds cracked hopefully they will sprout within 2 days...i dont want to have much of a delay on the plants :S
 
Good show. It looks as though the extra airflow may have helped dry the soil dry out a bit getting some oxygen to the root. I could just be making crap up though too lol
 
I think that the plant had some transpiration problems because the air would sit around the leafs for a long time getting saturated with water, much like the thin layer of air around your body preventing you from loosing too much heat, the layer of air around the plant kept her from being able to get rid of water, causing her metabolism to slow down but also making co2 intake/o2 outtake alot slower....generally stopping everything that is good and beneficial for a plant
 
Curing

i dont know that much about curing but i do know that plastic bags dont work... So i got some mason jars if im just putting a little in to see how it works can i put different types of bud in there or will that mess up the process... Ive already tried medicine bottles and the plastic dosent do bad but i know it could be better... but i came across some different type of plastic its way harder and smoother do you think thats worth giving it a shot..?
 
Actually, its best not to keep them tight for a month. Mason jars are an absolute, yes, but instead of locking it away basically, open up the jar and turn the herb once a day. This will help ensure no mold grows and will give the herb time to breath a bit.

If at any point your herb starts to dry out, place an orange peel in the jar for an hour or so (this really depends on the quantity/dryness of the bud though). Just make sure not to leave it in for too long or mold can appear.
 
My weed (the dankest of the dank, check the picture thread ;) ) is usually still a tiny bit wet when I get it, probably only spends a month off the plant before I get it, drying and curing

I like to take the nugs and leave them sitting out on my keif plate for a few hours, it drys it out, and when breaking it up for bowls/joints, keif will fall like snow! My fingers get so covered in crystals, that I take a razor and scrape it all off, making finger hash... delicious
