Ever since I started growing, there has been a curiosity inside me to see every stage of the budding cycle all lined up side by side day one - sixty-three.
Over the last few weeks I have been cloning my Flo for this new journal. There are now nine clones growing in my green room (or in their case purple). The lead plant will go into flower cycle next Monday the 21st. Every Monday thereafter for nine weeks I will start a new Flo into flower cycle. As the weeks progress we can all watch one strain as it goes through the flower cycle. On day 63 (which is a long flower for Flo)of the Flo #1, I will line them all up in a row and we can see the flower cycle in one week stages. As these nine weeks progress I will not get too detailed about other aspects of my grow, unlesss..... ? From yous guys. I would love some ? & A, or just general bullshit, my last journal was more of a narrative, and stopped being fun. No matter the literary content of this journal we know it has a starting point Flo #1 first day of flower. It also has an ending point... Flo #9's day 7

I hoping that ya'll with go with the Flo and I down this journal of budding cycle.. Nine little Flo all in a row .. doncha know!

Shadows and Arnold _ well here we go one more time eh? yous guys drive this bus now and again ok? Your insight and inquisitive natures can bring an otherwise dull and drab journal alive.

Peak, Vortex (BTW love the name!), Cel, Dredank thanks for jumpin on, I like the company. Anything you want to ask or submit or suggest PLEASE do not be shy.

Flo is my flavour favorite, I must admit that my overall favorite as a total grow plant is Shadows own "Sweet Pea". She will get her own journal someday perhaps. I have some strains stronger than Flo...maybe, but it is so unique in it's flavour, I do not compare it to other weed. Although I get decent yeilds out of it, it is by far the lowest yeild plant of the 6 current flavours in my grow

Oh and she's a purple

more on Flo later

Jr 2thumbs hey now neighbor!

ya know one day soon it'll all fall together, you like sativas, dumpy is a strong sativa cross, grows like your AK, buds a bit differently:eek: , we gotta getcha one:peace:

On Monday the first of the Flo's will go into flowering cycle. Here are some details about the vegetative room she is growing in now.

Basement grow, cement floors with very good drainage. A recent addition is some pool matting called "drydek". It is wonderful , the entire grow is 1/8 off the floor so all drainge happens below the matting while above stays dry, nifty stuff.:D

8' ceilings with exposed beams. The beams are great to use I can suspend the fans, lights & movers and off them.

The light is a Hydrofarm 1000w MH run on 24/7 light cycle, I change the bulb every aug 1st. The hood is mounted on a "startrak" light mover. The light moves from corner to corner on an eight foot track.

HVAC is thermostat controled kept at 78 degrees F, two small floor fans and a Dayton 465 exhaust fan that also services the flowering room. Fresh air intake vent when the weather outside is nice.

These Flos start as clones 1'x1' rock wool squares. They are planted in 18oz cups to develop root balls, then transpalnted to 3/4 gallon square containers, this really increases the surface area of the roots as they go from round to square. Finally, they are transplanted into 2 1/2 gallon round containers, with all the flat exposed root surface area from the square it takes no time at all for the roots to fill the round container, forming a dence rootball.

They grow in Foxfarm Ocean forest soil and are fed Foxfarm Grow Big

Ocean/Forest is great. The price gives one a sticker shock.. but when I added up the $ I was spending to buy pro mix and then mix my own soil.. it evens up real fast.. especially when you have Mendo stoners mixin primo ingredients from all over the world, doin it for you:p They live on a klep bed out in Medocino, but they import Norweigan Kelp.. you know there is a reason for it, man if they are that in tune to the soil needs of us, I pay them the extra nickel.

Flo #1 next feeding will be Tigerbloom, I use it in flower cycle:woohoo:
I believe the roots are the key to a good grow. The delivery system is paramount no matter how good the nutes are or wonderful the strain is. Whimpy budz = whimpy roots... robust roots = robust budz

Flo #1 is going to have a grow partner in Skush this week. Actualy all nine Flo's will, rotate a new flavour partner each week, week 6 strains will start to repeat as I have only 6 strains now.

Mel
11-23-2005, 08:11 AM
BadDan – Flo is my favorite flavour MJ ever. Yummy is just the way to describe it! She is also very powerful, some potent stuff, but it is always the flavour I am drawn to.
Aesthetically, she is a joy to work with during the vegetative cycle. Flo has such a pretty colour and leaf shape, it is fun to work with. Flo seems to ignore when she is clipped for cloning. She is very trainable also.
Flo is an ugly duckling story in reverse however. Throughout the flower cycle Flo’s buds are inconsistent and not uniform in shape or size. Yield factor is limited, of all the strains in the Grow; she is the low end in that department. Flo buds are not very pretty or productive, just delicious. Oh and they dry purple which is kinda cool.

The flower room that these girls will bud out in is the “room next door” to the veggy room. It too is 10’ x10’ with 8’ ceilings and exposed beams. This room and the veggy room share an HVAC system. It was described earlier in this journal. A blunder on the description was made; it is kept 68–72 degrees F (not 78 that would be too hot for my tastes). It is kept at 38% RH.
The light is kept off the canopy approximatley 30” pre “jump”, and 18” post “jump”. There is a new addition to this Grow as of late Aug. A SunSystems 1000w dual spectrum 600HPS/400MH lamp has replaced my old 1000w HPS Hydrofarm pro-ultralite. The light is on an ancient “chain style” light mover, moving corner to corner.
Foxfarm Tiger Bloom will be their nutrients; I follow the instructions provided by Foxfarm.

greetings my friend. :D

yea, this is a great idea.
a question... it seems to me that senescence and ethylene might play a roll in maturity time..like a plant in senescence emits ethylene that the other plants may pick up..which in turn would make the plant behind it come in earlier..I remember delta always suggesting I do a 'mono grow' that I would be much happier..he may even have explained why but being around him was like learning chinese at the time. so what is your opinion?..does ethylene affect the other flowering plants? I think the answer has been obvious..but I have been oblivious to it..but it seems like my first plants are bigger than my later..since I almost shut down completely a few times lately, but could not part with them, but was down to unflowering or early flowering plants it seems like the earlier plants come in earlier and smaller, but I very rarely take notes.

so if you do the constant harvest thing and plants all have the same stuff..this would be a perfect time to check this out. like see if your later buds/plants come in smaller or earlier due to the plant in senescence emitting ethylene?

Ethylene H2C=CH2

Nature of Ethylene
Ethylene, unlike the rest of the plant hormone compounds is a gaseous hormone. Like abscisic acid, it is the only member of its class. Of all the known plant growth substance, ethylene has the simplest structure. It is produced in all higher plants and is usually associated with fruit ripening and the tripple response.


Biosynthesis and Metabolism
Ethylene is produced in all higher plants and is produced from methionine in essentially all tissues. Production of ethylene varies with the type of tissue, the plant species, and also the stage of development. The mechanism by which ethylene is produced from methionine is a 3 step process .
ATP is an essential component in the synthesis of ethylene from methionine. ATP and water are added to methionine resulting in loss of the three phosphates and S-adenosyl methionine.
1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACC-synthase) facilitates the production of ACC from SAM.
Oxygen is then needed in order ro oxidize ACC and produce ethylene. This reaction is catalyzed by an oxidative enzyme called ethylene forming enzyme.
The control of ethylene production has received considerable study. Study of ethylene has focused around the synthesis promoting effects of auxin, wounding, and drought as well as aspects of fruit-ripening. ACC synthase is the rate limiting step for ethylene production and it is this enzyme that is manipulated in biotechnology to delay fruit ripening in the "flavor saver" tomatoes.

Functions of Ethylene
Ethylene is known to affect the following plant processes
Stimulates the release of dormancy.

Stimulates shoot and root growth and differentiation (triple response)

May have a role in adventitious root formation.

Stimulates leaf and fruit abscission.

Stimulates Bromiliad flower induction.

Induction of femaleness in dioecious flowers.

Stimulates flower opening.

Stimulates flower and leaf senescence.

Stimulates fruit ripening.

hope this helps...

Damn that xzoomd and ethylene. I remember him dropping that bug on me, lol.. I spent alot of time trying to find mention of it having negative effects on MJ in flowering and never really saw any mention of it. Wanna toy with it some?? Banana's produce alot of ethylene during ripening. Actually Food Lion ships in green bananas and sprays them with an ethylene solution for a few days before shipping them out to the store. That odd smell they posess in the supermarket comes from that process. Ethylene is supposed to have an effect on the gender of a seedling, if present during germination, producing mostly female seeds. I've never tried it, but somebody with the room could germ 10 standard seeds with banana peels between 2 plates (watch for mold ofcourse) and see the end results. I'll try it one day when I get to expand my grow room

So hows it go Mel old bro? You know, I just realized a good side venture to your project here. Apart from showing 9 phases of growth, it will show the advantage of adding a weeks worth of veg, with 9 weeks of stages. Id like to see the difference between 1 week veg, and 3 personally. Anyway, on with the show buddy

XzoomD
11-30-2005, 04:29 PM
Shdws, that is my point, I suppose.:hmmmm: If ethylene is being emitted by one plant, why wouldn't it affect other plants and possibibly trigger premature senescence/ripening? Something has to be out there on the subject, I just can't find it. In my spare time I have been searching the subject again, which I may do again tonight. I'm getting ready to pop some beans too, so I wonder if letting them pop in the flower room would have any advantage? Great idea trying the banana peels. 2thumbs anyway, back to Mel's grow........

hmm, sorry to hyjack Mel's thread here, if you'd answer the damn phone some time I wouldnt be inclined to do so, lol...

Does it make sense that a carbon filter may remove the ethylene from the air? Sure the plants will produce it during ripening, but with the air flow we use to exhaust our cabinets and the filters used to remove the odor, do you think it stands a chance at having an impact? Hey, ya know what I got some naners, and a plant I want to ripen early. hmm...

XzoomD
11-30-2005, 07:57 PM
well...tonight I ended up doing a google on atmospheric ethylene damage it seems with ventilation any affect should be minimal. I really did not find out what I wanted to know tho...does one older plant emit enough ethylene to affect younger plants by triggering early maturation..eh..like I said..it may warrant its own thread but I just thought Mel might have known.

Sorry Mel.

Hey all it's Thursaday AM , I haven't done my Tuesday update. This week professional obligations and family vacations have worn me out, journaling fell a few notches in my priority system. :rolleyes:

Monday night I took pictures of Flo 2 and her grow mate, a pretty lil dumpster. Eventually they will be posted, hopefully today.

Zoomy I really do not know. That is a variable never entered into my equation. I do know this , for other reasons my venting fan is suspended less than 18" from the tops of my oldest flowers. I have a 465 fan, I doubt the pheremones ( or whatever chemical compound) do anything but get sent out the chimminey:cool:

Shadows usin yer last name now hunh? no hijack that is not possible "ain't no signs or dividin' lines, and very few rules to guide" Nanners rot fast and get stinky. I have enough issues with that smell(rotting bannana) in my automobile :p

Should seen there eyes when I asked them bout ethelyene

Peak guy straight up Foxfarm. They have spent years developing a formula for soil and nutes. They have worked very hard at just the right proportions of everything, messing with it just ruins their recipe. I follow the feeding schedule and use the soil straight out of the bag. Mixing in some pro mix would be like putting ice in my scotch, I'd rather not have the scotch. Single malt scotches were ment to be sipped and enjoyed not watered down with ice cubes. If one wants to truely enjoy scotch it is an acquired taste, not for wattering down, takes some getting used too. But water it down:mad: may as well have an 3.2 beer, cause you would be drinking to get drunk not enjoy the full bodiedness of a fine scotch. Which is fine but don't ruin the good scotch to get drunk so to speak. Use Foxfarm straight follow the instructions. OceanForest soil is not too harsh for young clones in my experience, I do not add any nutes the first two weeks. I have found after tallying my legers, that the added expense of the soil origionally is worth it , I use less nutes, have less mistakes, and spend less $ on additives and nutes. In OceanForest's case ... LESS IS MORE, I'll post a FF schedule up in the next couple posts to show my feeding schedule

Thanks for the info Mel. I think my next grow I will go with the straight fox farm. I do a lot of legal outdoor gardening on my place and I start building the soil for a new bed a year before any plants go into it, so I am very hip to how important soil is in what we do. As far as the cost goes, that is not such an issue for me because I use the soil again outside after I have grown one crop inside, so the soil does double duty and becomes a permanent part of my rose garden.

last little bit from me on ethylene, Through searching another site, I found that Ozgrowa had messed with a chemical called Ethrol. Ethrol is an ethylene generator. The purpose of him using it was increase his # of female plants. All it did for him was cause his plants to ripen by week5 of flower, and their yields were pathetic.

Given that, if the amount of ethylene produced by a MJ plant while it swells must not be enough to trigger a younger plant to flower early. Otherwise I'd never have an 8 week flower cycle, same for you Mel...

Weeks 5,6 &7 the holidaze dominated the camera. In my household we do not mix our subject matter in photo sessions. In other words ain't no way I was mixin dope pics with Christmass , New Years and 2 birthdays (wife and oldest daughter 12/31)

BTW ND if you are reading happy b-day. (31?) You and Mrs Mel share the same day I believe, 1/9 ?

by the time week 7 rolled around to get the camera back... well it's all one big purple cloud:D .. and continues to be;) :cool:

# 7,8, &9 are still flowering perhaps if I get of my lazy arse I could include some sots ...nahhhh!

She has (notice I call her a she?) grown to a really loverly bush. I cloned her 3 weeks ago. It was a take! Just Monday I transplated the little clonling from a cup to a square. I call it Flojam. Flo x Jamaican Lambs Wool, get it Flojam?

Gonna veg the mother Flojam two more weeks, then put her in for sexing

She's a nine pointer ma! I have know idea what it means, if any thing, but the top of the clone has nine point fan leaves. I can not remember seeing more than seven points on a fan leaf before... kinda cool to look at

Sayyy, I used to have a stack of solo cups like that, lol

All my plants from seed usually reach 9 fingered leaves but all my reveg's sit at 5 or 6 fingers per leaf. Even the ones that I knew had 9's before a reveg, only 6 after.

Hey, we still awake over here??

lil poem for ya

If you smile at me
you know I will understand
Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language

I can see by your coat my friend
that you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?

You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water
very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and easy

Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly
Take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this barren land

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry and
Stare as all you human feelings die
We are leaving
You don't need us

Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
We are leaving
You don't need us

Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free
And gone

Who won? The winners have yet to fully surface yet, but they will over the years, as they decide they want to grow and need to learn. Then the winners will have taken their place.
