Great to hear! And to be fair I haven't actually seen another weed related thread.
Cheers, this time I'm going out all my best with the limited resources I have but still the result should be extremely rewarding. And to be honest with you mate, this is the first time I have supercropped a plant! I have seen friends do it to their crops and they give it high ratings, but I never really wanted to damage my ladys. But in the recent soft secret magazine, they had a couple of pages on bud manipulation, it had good walk throughs, pictures and information about the various ways themselves, so I thought, what the hell, lets give it a go.
I was going to try an LST setup on my next one, but if you regret it, I might just see what the results of this supercrop are, 90% of people who asked about it said get on with it.
Nice beans you got there, speaking of Northern lights, I just picked up a couple Oz of that just now, thick heavy dense bud, covered in crystals lovely smell I'm glad to see my diary has motivated you to start yours, theres nothing better than smoking something you grew yourself, plus its way times better than the stuff you get off the streets.
Lights - 1 (250W SuperVeg MH Bulb for vegetative state, 600W HPS for flowering stage)
Soil - Canna Cocofibre plus, now nutrient at all in it, neutral medium.
Nutes - Canna 1part Start (for germination and early root development in grow discs before being potted) Canna Veg 1part and Canna Flores 1part
Air circulation - because it is in a built in wardrobe I have 40 drill holes in the bottom of the door (sounds botch jobby, but was really low on funds, but when this is finished the money will be there to do even better, you will see that in the next few months ) for cold air to be circulated in the bottom, and as you can see by one of the pictures you can see my normal 12'' fan, circulating that cold air round the plants. Then for when the heat raises have have 2 USB fans in 2 parralel corners blowing the hot air away from the bulb and reflector, and again 40 drill holes (OCD) in the ceiling to vent off the heat. (when money is there I will be getting a proper airduct system) Room never heats over 27 now, not sweat, humidity seems fine so I'm happy for now.
Flowertime - I'm hoping to put them into flowering mid next week, aslong as they are near or over 1ft tall which the 2 are not far off. They should finish October time, the Mazar has a short flowering time since its a dominant Indica, when the G13 is a heavy dominant Sativa which might take an extra 2 weeks or 3, depending on trichome colour and capacity that are amber colour. Weight, well under optimum conditions people have reported 400g wet, and they say the drying process takes 1/3 of the weight away, but I always half it because if you got more its a bonus, but my setup isn't really optimum conditions, do I am aiming for 1 and a half Oz dry of each plant, I get that, I'm happy, gives me the money I need for a bigger better one, any more is a bonus
You calculations are nearly correct, but to be picky, they are 3 weeks and 4 days today
Cheers man, good luck with your germination process, maybe even pop a few pictures in this thread
