Plants are looking great! You really don’t want go above 85. I’m wondering if you will have trouble with humidity if your having trouble with heat now. When they get bigger they start transpiring more.

Thanks Floyd! I love these little green monsters. So far, humidity hasn’t gone over 70 and is usually around 60 when I peek at them. I’m sure it will be a battle as summer comes along but that’s part of it growing in a shed in the south. I got a couple ideas to run cooler air to the intake I’ll be trying soon. Most likely a dehumidifier is in the not too distant future. As long as I can get some seeds made I’ll be happy

I hope your ideas work out for you. Anything above 60% is not good for sure.

Ok. Got the GG4XDREAMCATCHER in their final pots. Valley Ghash going to a friend to grow out, and the wedding cake are going guerilla tonight. I took a side picture to show room I have for flower stretch. To me it looks like I got plenty of room for veg growth before flipping the lights but being first grow I don’t know how much stretch that big one will do, they pretty much triple in height correct? I’m not concerned about the other plants I got the one big female I’m basing this grow on. When would y’all recommend I flip? I’m a little over a month in grow time.

I think its more like 1.5 - 2 x there height after stretch. At least with most hybrids which is what your growing. So if you veg them till they are foot tall , probably no more than three feet tall after stretch.

Today is day one of the flip! 3 of 4 plants are showing sex, got 2 females and one male! This is perfect😃 one topped, the rest natural, went 6 weeks of veg and leaves are as big as my hands, so all I’ve read I should be good to flower. Woo hoo!!

Great job so far! I’ll be following along the rest of the way. I was lucky enough to have a few of these beans find their way out to me as well!

Thanks Floyd! I only added nutes twice at a low dosage for the most part I let them do their own thing and it’s beautiful! I find myself sneaking to the cab just to marvel at them quite frequently. It’s going to be harder now that I have to let them be during dark hours. @Eagles009 you got some of these beans too? How cool! I can’t compare them to anything other then the other two strains I started but it’s definitely my favorite plant, by looks, strong scent in veg(got a feeling flower is going to be strong!), and just cool looking slenderish leaves. Definitely hope to get some seeds made to preserve this strain!

Should take some cuttings for clones maybe.

Yes indeed! I have some pollen that will be flying around in the near future so I’ll have to enjoy the show until I can safely get some going 
Glad to hear you are liking them! I’m sure your success with them will solidify a place in the next drop. Can’t wait to see some buddage!

I actually did! I took one cutting off the lowest internode for practice with cloning. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it though? One grow cab is very limited! Maybe I can plant it outside in my garden beds

You could do what I do.
My homemade bubble cloner
or there are lots of videos on cloning on YouTube. You could just put the stem in a glass of water and wait till it grows roots as well.

Dude me either!!! I feel like A giddy little man child with these damn plants, looking forward to getting off work to look at them, get up 10 min earlier before work to look at them, definitely an addictive hobby! Well great now I got even more pressure to make a successful grow With these plants! Just know that I’m a newbie so don’t base this strain off what happens in this thread:grimacing:

I was just playing around . I will be dropping them soon either way. Don’t stress. These plants basically grow themselves once you get some basics down. Giddy little man child, lol. I totally get that!

So I should add bloom fertilizer now? I got advanced nutrients, blood meal, bone meal, and cal/mag at my disposal right now. Bone meal is 0-10-0, should I add some to my gallon jug along with the advanced nutrient bloom? Never used the bone meal before, instructions only say add 2 lbs to 30 square feet so I have no idea how to fraction that down to a gallon of water for the 4 plants😬
Weed porn, hopefully last pic without seeing hairs and balls!
Can’t believe how huge they have gotten! I’m in a pickle now, 3 out of 4 are 100% female! The one that looked male I’m still not sure about, it’s hard to tell. I honestly don’t know what to do with all these females! I don’t know if I can fit the 3 in there to finish out, let alone still growing the male out to get pollen! this is going to be very interesting, I might be in over my head on this grow:grimacing:

It’s been week 1 after flip. Starting to see changes! Oooo this is exciting😃 male flowers are starting to show. Female are starting to change. I’m not seeing hairs yet, I think what I see are those stringy dingaling things that form on internodes, no idea what they are even called, but they are popping up at the growth spots so I’m assuming that’s the prep work for pistil magnificence

So I wanted to try a way to cool the air coming in from outside now that it’s getting in the high 70s at night time. I don’t know if this has been done here before, I haven’t tried looking, I had the stuff laying around and so I threw this together. @Gpaw you mentioned you’re going to be doing a shed/garage grow, maybe this could work for you.
Got an old cooler, drilled some 1/2” holes
1/2” tubing
Admire nature
Run 4 sections of 5’ tubing, curl it up some to fit without kinking
Sealed it all up with caulking, added vent mount thingy
Then add 4 bags of ice.
The crazy thing is, this actually WORKS! Ice cold air conditioned air came up through my intake holes in the bottom of the cab! BUT, there’s a couple issues I got. A) from the warm humid air getting sucked in it creates a lot of condensation and causes slight blockage, makes it sound like a gurgling sound like sucking the last bit of your fountain drink. B) I only have a 4”195cfm fan pulling air so it’s not very strong, and doesn’t pull air hard enough to ram through that condensation build up with those small tubes. So either I have to add more tubing, or use a slightly larger size, or upgrade to a bigger stronger inline fan. But this does work!!! Maybe some modifications, copper tubing would be much more efficient but more work. No electricity, just price of ice when the water in cooler isn’t cold anymore. Not bad for some red neck ingenuity!

Ok guys and gals, how close are we to this male dropping pollen??? The growth has exploded in just a couple days and I don’t want to pollinate too early. Females are just starting to show hairs at the bud sites, and I’d LIKE to only pollinate one female if I can help it. Do I need to get this male out now? I have a temp spot to put it in my patio with my indoor plants
