Pf Tek time for fruiting in the sgfc! *Lots of pictures*
    #14711379 - 07/03/11 02:40 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

First solo grow, have helped a friend in the past but that was boring as all hell.











One jar only got .5 cc's.



The .5 cc jar. (It actually hit 100% equal with another cake. I obviously lack consistency or something else is going on here :P.) The growth was verrrry rhizomorphic.

Solo cake at the moment. Adding the other 3 that finished together in 3 more days.

No, I do not trust either of those hygrometers but it's interesting seeing what it says.

The OTHER grow.







Need some good vibes for all my children! :awetrippie:

***July 4th update***

I found primordia and went ahead and gave it the old dunk and roll. Will be birthing tomorrow. I let them sit 9 days past colonization figured this would happen eventually.



***July 6th update***

Not sure if these are hyphal knots or not on the cake in the first picture. I dislike it when people put up terrible pictures so I tried my best to actually get both cakes in focus.

Doubt you can see it but there's slight bruising on the first cake on the blue lid. Nothing to be worried about but was wondering if it's probably just from how I did the dunk. Since I put it in a circular tupperware and flipped it upside down I'd imagine it was just from it bumping around in there.





This cake is getting bumpier too but is much smoother since it was birthed later.

I'm trying hard not to get impatient but I really want to post pin porn already. It's been in the FC 3 days now and I feel as though I'm achieving optimal conditions. The light is a 6400k spectrum CFL big enough to grow a plant. The FC is off to the side of it a little ways. I wish it was above it though. :frown:

I feel like I'm hitting the 90-95% range for humidity especially when I open it to fan and mist. I like to put my face over it and smell that tasty mushroom smell.  :awetongue:

***July 7th update***

Didn't expect this primordia to keep growing after the dunk and roll but he's getting fat.



No matter what I do I can't lower the temp below 81 in my fruiting chamber.

The closet this light is in is being used to grow the MJ. I've tried exhausting the room as best I can to lower the temp in the room in hopes of it helping the chamber too but the summer is beating down on my place. I'm pretty sure I'll still get some sort of yield though. :thumbup:

Looks good so far. What strain/s are the MJ plants?

Not sure, a friend gave us a whole bunch (half ziploc full) of healthy seeds and we just germinated 10 and are in the phase of sexing one. I have more going at another location that will be sexed soon.

If it's anything like the bud we've got from him over the the years I'm sure it's going to be tasty plus with the right setup we should get high potency out of just about anything. CFL's rock. :awesomenod:

I'm hoping to step up to LED's when I have the money. They are competing with HID's with todays technology.

Trust me they are a long ways away from being able to keep up with HIDs. Dont waste your money on LEDs you can get a air cooled HID setup with fan/filter for the same price as 1 LED light fixture of decent size. The only thing that will trump HID will be Plasma which is already better just not cost effective.

Sounds like matter of opinion. I know what LED's are capable of and can get a good price on a setup. Lower cost to run, lower heat signature and in my case way cheaper. No reason to argue it for me. Also don't be afraid to do some more research than you've done because I know for a fact that high times even published an article on this topic in favor of LED's.

Dont need to invest or research it any more, I have seen it first hand side by side. LED cant compete with HID. I wont argue it either cause its pointless. I could careless how others spend their money just giving my experience. I am new to boomers, not new to growing MJ. :smile:

Also, you dont think High Times gets kick backs for posting those articles? Dont believe everything you read dude. :wink:

Looks good. But shouldn't the FC be a little higher. I have mine up about 3 inches. I set it up on 4 coffee cups that were the same size. Just a thought.

I might raise it up but there's decent airflow in there. This has been a personal debate for me since I started searching for something to prop it up on. :P

Any thoughts on my update though? The bottom part past the plant.

I am doing my first grow also and I have 3 jars that were fully colonized last week. I just put them in the FC today. I have 2 more that will be fully colonized tomarrow, and I will wait a week to put them in. They were all knocked up the same day. I have 2 more that will probably be another week befor they are colonized. All were knocked up  the same day. 1 never even took off. Same batch of sub, same  syringe, same procedure..
