hey jst built this gro box, im not new to growin abit of ganj but new to dooing it in dooors, my set up im useuing a 300 watt cfl duel spec, for both veg and flowering, i got two feminised seeds on the go, great white shark and lemon skunk from green house seeds, erm is there any thing im misssing in my grow box? cheeers

[Darkone7]

Do you have any form of Intake or exhaust to deal with fresh air intake and heat/humidity outflow?
maybe it's your camera angle bud,but your light looks like it pretty damn high to be starting plants under.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

HI MATE THE ONLY INTAKE AND OUT TAKE ARE JST VENTS the 300 watt dnt produce alot of heat but i jst got a fan to flow the air around and four vents in the wall to let fresh air in and crap air out, i got sum new piks, the big one is great white shark and the small one is lemon. u never would of fault it but the little one is the same age as the big one, wot do u fink myt b rong wif it?? there just under a month old, on 18/6 no nutes yet jst plant food from the compost, is this good for a months grow? should i be bigger? has anyone ever used a 300 watt cfl before? wots ur opioin on the two ? thanks

:rastasmoke:

[Charbud]

Nice plants greenthumb, i dont think i have ever seen such big and wide fan leaves that early into a grow!

I also use a 300 watt cfl and have it about 2 inches above my plants. You need to lst your plants to keep them short because cfls light penetration isnt very good and this will cause the buds at the bottom on the plant to be very small.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

thanks mate, how long u bin useing the 300 watt cfl?? wots the end results like? good quality bud? av u got any piks of the bud u grew with it? so should i lower the light so its closer? how long would u say i got till i can switch to 12/12? i mean its 4 weeks so far.. wot did u mean by "You need to lst your plants " cheeers for replying mate x

[Charbud]

I have used it for my previous grow which is on here, if you click on my profile and view threads you can see my old one and current one, there are pics on there. I changed to a red 250watt cfl to flower but the 300 watt is very good for vegetation. You can lower the lights, if you can put your hand on top of your plant and your hand doesnt burn your plants wont, so use that as a rule of light height when using cfls. Lst is low stress training, you can also find a thread i posted on that on my profile.

Hope everythin is still goin good with the gyals!

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

hey mate thnx 4 helping me out.. Jst a few questiöns.. Wt dus fim mean? Wen do u rekon i shud stik em in flowerin? Wt mircle gro fert did u use in vegative stage i need 2 get sum.. Wt fert do u use 4 flowerin? Thnx matey

[bigtopsfinn]

There are threads about fimming, topping, and LST in the FAQ's here: Grow FAQs - Cannabis Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News (http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs/)

I'd get some nutrients made for specifically for cannabis. If you can't, then try to match the N-P-K ratios with what you decide to buy. For example, my Canna soil nutrients are Canna Terra Vega 3-1-4 (for veg) , Canna Terra Flores 2-2-4 (for bloom).

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

cheers mate i orderd the terra veg yestaday.. Gta w8 3 days.. U eva tried ne fin 2 pak on the w8 at the end ov the harvest i gt sum stuf calld big bud any gud? Cheers 4 the advice

[bigtopsfinn]

I use a "PK boost" (Actually called 'Plagron Green Sensation Top Activator'... got it for free :D) in addition to the Canna Terra Flores bloom nutes. My PK boost is 0-9-10 if I remember correctly. Canna makes a similar one but I think it's 0-13-14. I get by with these three.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

hi mate here are some more piks i took today i swear they grow like mad, only a week ago i changed the pot on both and now gotta do it agen, when do u think they be ready for flowering another few weeks? nice grow btw mate i ad a look at ur thread, i use on my out door grow ppk 13 14 two weeks before end of harvest, erm i got piks of two of the fertilizer one to use when flowering and the big bud for the end of the harvest or did i get it rong? ere the piks of the plants they look ok, should i still use lst on em? thanks mate

[LetsSeeYa]

Dang man, i need to get my light out, which is pretty much the same looking light. Need to get a new bulb at HD for 20 bucks. Looks like its working great to get 2 plants vegged pretty well. Not kicking your skills my man:what: Iv put it off thinking mine were good, but for just a few bucks would add a lot to my giddy-up.:dance:

Man your plants look great:clap::clap: I read the thread and missed what your planning to flower with, um or did you say both. Il tell ya, some different light spectrum's with your current light would help a lot id say:thumbsup:. Just a thought, i tend to push the cfl's because they worked well for me and there cheap. I read some great thread about mixing up the light spectrum's in flower and this would be easy for you. Il bet you see it in my next thread.

Plants look great man. I hope they did get fem cuz males grow faster and your one plant is huge for its age. Or, its just luvin that light:woohoo:

Keep er green man:weedpoke:

:rasta:

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

hey mate cheers for the reply init, a new light for 20 bucks man dat sound cheap there quite expensive over here.. yeh mate i def av a butch at your next thread is that ur outdoor grow one? out door rules.. im flowering with the same light its a duel spectrum init.. u good with fertilizers? can you tell me wot them two ferts are for?, i was stoned lasr nyt and realised i think i made a mistake, yeh therre fem got feminised seeds, thanks for your reply mate, gonna change both there pots 2day as there pot bound i take a few mor piks later today got a busy day... cheeers matey

I think you could veg for a couple weeks, but up to you really. LST helps when using lights that don't have good penetration like CFL's, so you may want to look into it. Could probably start in a couple days. Just don't train too much at once... little bit every few days.

As for the nutrients, I'd really go look up the instructions for everything before using them wrong. PK is meant for the middle stages of flowering, CannaBoost is only an additive, not a nutrient CANNABOOST (http://www.canna-uk.com/node/373) and should be used throughout flowering. Here's the Canna feeding schedule CANNA TERRA FEEDING SCHEDULE (http://www.greensea-hydroponics.co.uk/shop/CANNA_TERRA_FEED_SCHEDULE.pdf)

The Big Bud (feeding schedule here) (http://www.advancednutrients.com/nutcalc3public/nutrient_calculator.html) is for weeks 2-4 of flowering. I don't know much about Advanced Nutrients except that they are expensive.

If I were you I'd get the Canna Terra Flores, the Canna PK 13/14 (if you don't have it already) and stick to the schedule above.

You might look this post over really well, because Finn gives some great advise and he's got a great thread on LST, if you want a method thats not real hard, but will give you a great yield. He also knows about these nutes and gave you every bit of info ya need:thumbsup:

Supposed to be used for 1 or 2 weeks once it starts showing flowers/hairs. I've been using the PK from Plagron, had problems when I used it too much and too long into flowering though...

Here's a more successful example: Trainwreck from seed at just over 8 weeks flowering

[attachment=o241857]

And after drying...

[attachment=o241859]
[attachment=o241858]
[attachment=o241860]

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

so u use canna terra flores all the way through accomponied by pk 13 14? the two ferts above the boost is an additive use with the canna terre flower ? and the big bud to use after? sorry if i annoy u mate the charts are confusing kinda understand the top chart but the big bud one... mate nice buds u grow pro weed... how long u bin doing it for? wot was the smoke like and how much did u get? do u no how to make hash? cheers for replying, i took a pik today and she looked abiut depressd, leafs were flopping down..

[bigtopsfinn]

That was from my first attempt at growing :jointsmile:
I'm pretty much a newb still, but have picked up a lot of info along the way. The potency was up there with some of the best, taste was... eh, not cured right. But TW is not known for its taste anyways. Yield was about 60g dried. Used a 400w hps the whole way.

So basically if you have an 8 week flowering strain, use Canna Terra Flores for weeks 1 through 7. Use the PK in weeks 3 & 4. Flush at the end of week 7 with plain ph'd water. Harvest at the end of week 8. That's all you need for flowering IMO. The CannaBoost can be used all the way through flowering until harvest, so it can actually be part of your flush (that's how I understand it). Never used it though...

I won't comment on the Big Bud since I never used it either. It's generally not recommended to mix nutrient brands, as you may be doubling the nutrients the plant needs.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

thanks agen mate 4 the info u helped out alot.. Cheers agen mate.. I get rid ov the bb and giv it 2 me bro.. Wtz the 400 wt lyk 4 consuming electricity?

Hey man you might want to read the thread in Finns sig, called LST. Its a great thread to learn from, cuz Finn explains in good detail and im sure he would help ya out. I have never tried a LST yet, but i have one that i will be experimenting with this summer.

So, not trying to not help ya, just know that Finn does a great job at it and he is a good guy, so im sure he could help ya better then myself. Check out his thread and post your questions here and if you have problem il try, but Finn will be in here il bet:hippy:

:rasta:

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

yeh i read his thread about it. soon as him and charbud suggested it... jst a few questions the soil that them babys are in already contaion plant food, i received the ferts finntop suggested terr veg and flores, should i use veg at half strength to avoid nute burn or will it be ok? and on cloning leave em at least 3 or 4 weeks till feeding em? do u tihnk its worth gettin a ph and moisture metre?

[Charbud]

ye there are nuff thieves about. Might give it a go, start it off inside them move her out. Must have been sum big plants if they were worth 2 g ! also with the lst, dont be afraid to do it on ur big ones, plants are well bendy. Well the early you start the more bendy they are, if you let em get too big it mite be too late..good luck±!!

[Charbud]

I wouldnt bother with the moisture meter as you can tell when the plant needs watering by touching the soil..everyone one on here will say to get a ph meter though, i have neveer used one but i might be stupid for not

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

yea dats true mate.. I b up dere dis sat 2 trY lst on the babys.. Do u no if a plant iz pot bound dus it affekt yield.?

[bigtopsfinn]

yea dats true mate.. I b up dere dis sat 2 trY lst on the babys.. Do u no if a plant iz pot bound dus it affekt yield.?

Just start by making one bend in each plant. Don't try to overdo it.

And yes, rootbound will hurt your yield. The more roots with access to fresh air, water and nutrients- the better yield.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

thnx finn mate ur advice iz realy helpin out.. Wt u recomend? Jst keep changin 2 biga and biga pots? Or put a sak ov soil undaneath 4 roots 2 go in. How do u deal wif it? Thnx agen dear x

[bigtopsfinn]

Get some bigger pots and fill them with soil so that the plant will sit at a good level.

Take the plant, put your palm on the soil, turn the plant upside-down, give the pot a couple taps and carefully slide it off. Place in the new bucket you prepared with soil and fill in the sides.

I'd say plant them in 3 gals (or so) now, and then a couple weeks into 12/12 put them into 5 gals. That's how I do it. When you keep a plant in the same soil for more than 6 to 8 weeks, you will have ph problems.

Since your plants are different sizes, it will vary a little with the pot sizes. I'd get a new (3gal) for the bigger one, and transplant the smaller one into the container you're using for the bigger one.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

cheers finn.. So a 5 gal wil do me til the bitchs finish? And get a nice yield cheers matey

[bigtopsfinn]

Normally, yes.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

hey fiinn i see ur scrop thread as was amazed mate, u went to amsterdam.. did u go red light distrikt? erm anuver qwik qwestiion feeding the plant the fert everyday wen u giv it water? cheers mate heres anuva pik aswell

:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::stoned::rasta::smokin::pi mp:

[bigtopsfinn]

No RLD for me, got a wife for that ;)

I don't have a strict schedule for nutes, but I'll usually water with nutes, nutes, and then plain water every third time.

[LetsSeeYa]

yeh i read his thread about it. soon as him and charbud suggested it... jst a few questions the soil that them babys are in already contaion plant food, i received the ferts finntop suggested terr veg and flores, should i use veg at half strength to avoid nute burn or will it be ok? and on cloning leave em at least 3 or 4 weeks till feeding em? do u tihnk its worth gettin a ph and moisture metre?

I used the soil that that feed for 3 months and 6, so i didn't use any nutes at all through my grow. Before i started i read a ton of threads where people used the soil with ferts in it and more so they burned their plants. When ya water the ferts are activated, so if ya add more ferts when you water, it doubles the ferts in the soil. IMO you shouldn't use any ferts at all, but thats just me, if ya do you might want to get a Ph tester an keep an eye on them. Id hate to see those green baby's all burned up.

Keep er Green man:rasta:

Well man the soil that has ferts that have been added to soil that would feed for to 6 months is not really recommended for growing weed. So, people get soil w/o ferts in it, so they can control the ferts they use and the ferts used are for weed. But, i didnt ave the cash for the right soil, so i used the fert added soil and just depended on the soil to feed my plants, it worked great.

The grows i saw here where people used this fert added soils would think they needed to add more ferts, which more times then not, they just burned up there plants. Because when you water the ferted soil, that activates the ferts, so if you add ferts, it gets a double dose of ferts. Dont let this happen to you:rasta:

Man if i were you i would put any light you got on her now. It will bud when you flip the lights to 12/12. That 27k light didn't bring the pistils, its just getting to that age. With CFL's, the more the better.

Plants look great man:thumbsup:but your going to want every light ya got on her and you will see even better growth:hippy:

hey mates, cheers for repplying i did sum more work on the box today added four more lights on the sides of the wall.. changed the pots... flushed one and forgot to flush the bigger plant... and switched em over to 12/12 ..

[XGR33NthumbX]

gr8 white shark,
Great White Shark was the first prize winner of the BIO HTCC in 1997. It's a powerful, knee-shaking plant that really hits the spot and is rightfully acclaimed. The high is strong and seductive - the perfect combination for a winning variety!

lemon skunk
Lemon Skunk Cannabis seeds should be seen by every grower as a gem to both grow and smoke. Lemon Skunk is a cross hatch between two Skunks with phenotypes chosen for their zesty lemon characteristics. With a Lemon Mother, which has been kept in Vegas for over 20 years, and a Father hand picked here in Holland, you KNOW you are getting a heavy hitter! Lemon Skunk has and probably always will be a popular favorite just because of itâ??s subtle complexities that every person enjoys.

The Lemon Skunk is a good yielder that will grow tall with a high calyx ratio. These Cannabis seeds grow fantastic smelling buds that are green with THICK orange hairs making her one of the sweetest and tastiest strains if cut down between 50 - 56 days!

The Lemon Skunk has a special place in our hearts and our Trophy Cabinet!

CUP WINNER! 1st - Outdoor, Highlife Cup (2007)

[Charbud]

Lookin good greenthumb. Might need a bit more sidelighting for the lower buds because your fan leaves up top are probably blocking the light. But ye lookin good man, all nice an green :D And i must say you got a couple BLENO fan leaves !! You could look in to trimming them back a bit, not too sure on how to do it because i havent done it before but could be something to look into, keep up the good work :)

lol i bet ur lovin dat bud ent ya.. I cnt wait til my bitchs r dun its taken 4 eva.. Wher bouts in uk u frm?

[Rusty Trichome]

I woz wonderin if u cn look at my thread in the lighting section and give any advice on the ladys? Bout pruning.. Increase in yield and dat.. thank u very much mate.. X
Just a quick look through the thread, and notinced a couple things...

Shiny aluminum stuff collects and retains heat. Not sure if those absorb moisture too, but if humidity is an issue, keep an eye in 'em. Flat white paint is durable and washable.

Most major brands of potting soil are pre-buffered to nearly neutral ph. The buffers last somewhere around 6-8 weeks before they dissolve away and ph starts to fluctuate. Since most potting mixes are peat moss based, the ph will get more acidic over time.

I wait to transplant into final pots about 2 weeks into flower, for just this reason. Be careful with transplanting and there are no issues. (but don't drop the rootball or snap a branch) Never transplant a wet rootball. Wet rootballs fall apart.

All training/trimming should be done in growth stage, unless doing a Screen of Green grow. Trimming while the plant is flowering, is a good way to stress the nanners out of her. If a little bushy, I let 'em battle it out. Usually with no issues. Don't let water get trapped between two leaves. It almost glues 'em together. Mold or other nasties can form.

Why were you concerned with soil ph? What's your water ph, and how are you testing it?

Looking good though. Any specific questions? :thumbsup:

[Rusty Trichome]

hi mate how u doin.. Yea jst burnd leaves frm the lights do u fink that can stress em out?
As long as it isn't a habit, the burn shouldn't do much harm. Gotta watch the rising heat, too. (the area just above the light)


so r they lookin ok 4 4 weeks.. They gna get alot bigger?
Looks fine. They'll fill-in more, and likely there's not much stretch left in 'em.


Ow much do u rekon i myt get in harvest.. ?
Depends on how many plants, and how much yield you get from each plant. :thumbsup:


Wt wud u do 2 maximise yield? Ne trade secrets?
Proper nutrients, proper lighting, a solid schedule you can keep without difficulty, good ventilation and circulation...and the willingness to learn. The learning process can take a while, so settle-in and don't expect miracles overnight. Avoid "snake oil" gardening. No such thing as a miracle tea or tonic. You might want to read through some of the Myths and Folklore link I have in my signature. A lot of good info that can save heartaches and cash.


Wt u growing atm cheers rusty..
Right now, some White Widdow and a nice Cindarella 99 x Sweet Tooth. Kinda pissed my Northern Lights just got done underperforming. But, the weather hasn't been co-operating. Cold for a couple of days, hot for a couple, rain, heat, cold...I sure miss global warming. Starting to warm-up again though. :thumbsup:

[Rusty Trichome]

U gt a thread 4 ur latest gro?
No. Unless I have a fresh technique or insight, I usually hijack other's threads. :thumbsup: Plus, I'm kinda lazy. :jointsmile:


U eva use molasses r they any gud? Yes, I use unsulfered molasses for mid to late flowering. Provides calcuim, magnesium, iron, and a few micronutes.
In my garden it replaces CalMag Plus, Sweet, and is a great source of carbs. As a matter of fact, unsulfered molasses is the base ingredient for many of the additives sold today. (mostly derived from cane sugar or sugar beets, and some are nothing more than simple chemical copies of molasses...)

This will be in a couple weeks but if i harvest before you ill let u know the results. keep em green

what u doin with the food colourin gt ?

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

I fink i shud do it wen it starts flowering.. 2 giv buds a blue hue .. My brotha dun it wif purple and everyfin went dat colour..

[Rusty Trichome]

Doesn't work that way. He had a strain that matures purple, which is common.
I think he was yanking your chain.

yoo rusty have you tryed it before?

i did use food colouring last year, and it dose work just like that. i mixed red n blue to get purple... and it dose just turn everything on the plant purple. if i would of kept it up im 100%sure the hole plant would of turned purple.

we shall c. =]

[Charbud]

Lool i did this in primary school with white flowers. All the petals went the colour of the water, should work on weed then, time will tell !

[Rusty Trichome]

I guarantee you are barking up the wrong tree. The only way food coloring would affect plant color, is if you spray the crap on your ladies after harvest. (very bad idea)

There are shitloads of 'purple' strains. Purple is a self-defense color often used in different species of plants for sun protection and for cold protection. Kinda like anti-freeze for plants.

Have I grown purple strains...? Yup. Still do on occation.
Have I ever used food dye to change color? Nope. And I never will, especially since it doesn't work and beyond marketing...means nothing except it's a colorful flower.

Your best bet in all this...read the FAQ's and some growlogs till your eyes bleed. Learning to grow cannabis is a process, not an event.

And if he was actually serious...you should quit listening to your brother, as he's clueless.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

so u dnt fink it wil work mr rusty? I try it as a little experiment.. c wt appens..

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

howdy ere sum mor piks ov me darlins..

[PhatJay]

omg phatjay ur plants r sexc and ur usin cfls? Mate dats well nyc.. I woz wondering if u cud giv ne advice on my babys.. Lyk how long u wud giv em til harvest..

Glad you like the look of my girls, tbh I am a bit disappointed with the results this time round, the secondary buds are not as good as last time. But the cuttings came from a different mother with poorer genetics. Your ladies are looking good too, I would be proud to have them in my harem.

The only advice I can give about when to harvest you probably already know, which is get something to look at the Trichomes and go by those. Plants grown under CFL's mature slower than those grown under other types of lighting, as much as 2 weeks longer. Adding more light can negate this effect, so your side lighting should help them mature faster.


And sry 4 ne misundastandin on charbuds thread

Thats my fault, I didn't mean to offend you (honest), I should have kept my opinion to myself. Grow logs are for talking about growing cannabis.

:sorry1:

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

cheers mr fat..

[PhatJay]

thank u so much 4 takin the tym out 2 scan dat. Yea its indica mate.. So it 6 weeks 2moro.. Yea i fink i giv it anuva 2 weeks? Wt wud u recomend?x

I don't really want to recommend because I don't think I have enough knowledge to make this decision for you. Looking at the latest pics in your thread, I would say the buds look immature and are going to take longer. They look like my buds did at around week 5.


I go on holiday wednds day 4 2 weeks so i dno wt 2 do u fink dere b ok? I gt sum1 waterin em jst about harvest.. ?

Depends on how much you trust your friend to look after them.


Ow ur plants doin..

They seem happy enough, full update on monday.


And it ok 2 add ppk 4 3 weeks?

7 weeks flower = 1 weeks PK at week 5
8 weeks flower = 2 weeks PK at weeks 5 & 6
9 weeks flower - 3 weeks PK at weeks 5,6 & 7

[busybee]

7 weeks flower = 1 weeks PK at week 5

:thumbsup:hi phatjay,i see you grow in coco.are these pk stats regardless of what you grow in?:jointsmile:

It works in Coco and according to the guys that make my schedule in soil aswell. Here is the schedule that I posted up for GreenThumb. I'm sure he won't mind me posting it here.

http://boards.cannabis.com/members/phatjay-albums-growell-ultimate-soil-feed-chart-picture4954-growell-ultimate-soil-feed-chart-if-you-flowering-more-than-9-weeks-you-add-weeks-between-weeks-5-6-not-all-these-products-necessay-produce-good-results.jpg

If you are flowering for more than 9 weeks you add weeks between weeks 5 and 6. Not all these products are necessary to produce good results.

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

na thats all good mate i dnt mind.. Cheers 4 da advice mate.. How r u phatjay.? Me grandad lukin afta em so dats sweet.. Bt how long do u no there goin 2 take 2 flower.. I mean lyk da strain description sed it take 7 weeks 2 finish bt it gna take longer so wif cfls and indica u add anuva 2 weeks? Or keep it 2 8-9 weeks? Indica, and obv alot longer wif sativas. Lyk 11 weeks? U no wt i mean? Cheers phat.. Ow u doin busy?

[PhatJay]

I would aim for 8-9 weeks with an indica, those flowering times are for perfect conditions. If you were growing hydroponically with HPS you could finish them in 7.

I'm doing good thanks, I will be even better when I get to chop my plants down and have a smoke. :jointsmile:

[Charbud]

GT your girls are looking nice, i would agree with phatyjay and say they still have a while to go till harvest. It can be hard waiting but more bud for waiting is worth it ! The plant i put under that led panel flopped ! did nothing good, she slowly got more and more unhealthy, the light is def a piece of junk ! and its joke how u got ur grandad lookin after them! make sure he doesnt nick any though :thumbsup:

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

yea mate il b watchin wen u harvest.. Cheers agen 4 the info phat i giv it nine weeks.. Da last week ice cold water 4 7 days den 48 hours 4 sr? Or add the stress ripenin 2 the 7 days? Yea me gdad sweet wif out his help my ladies wudnt ov made it.. So wt u gna do bout ur led panel char? And wt bout dat plant aswel.? Ow ur lady doin? Wt u gna do 4 ur nxt grow?x cheers phatjay agen..

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

ere sum piks.. Im gna giv em pk agen u fink dat b ok? Da hairs changd colour.. A few av.. Dat ok?

[PhatJay]

My version of stress ripening is covered in this post.

http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/181831-phat-jays-2nd-grow-cfl-coco-w-pics-3.html#post2108125

But you need to google it, because I changed it slightly and I don't know if my way is as effective.


The Stress Ripening is added on to the end of your flush period.

Ignore the the pistils, they are not a true indication of when your plant is ready. Look at the Trichomes.

I already gave you my opinion on PK, scroll up a bit. ;)

[JungleSuperstar]

sexy as fuck babe keep it up:jointsmile: sweet and succulent just like the ladies yesssss......:jointsmile:

[ganjamanjaguy]

some of the hairs on my plant were pink, especially the top cola, when I cut them. Look at the trichs is correct. Hair color wont say anything. I say once you see 30 percent of the trichs a amber/golden color. Cut it, when it dries and cures, alot of the trichs in that stage will turn to amber as well. Therefore, you will have a very even high, relaxed/couchy yet still up beat. Read more about how the the chemical changes occur when marijuana matures on google or something, the trichs are the eyeglass to telling that chemical change. Also, when a plant fully dries, that means you will have bud that the chemical changed from non-psychoactive to psychoactive. I'm saying that because, I would get so damn anxious to smoke my bud, that alot of the time it was still a little wet, and I didn't get anywhere near the full high. Wet weed is completely useless. Just letting you know from my experience. Experience is everything. :rasta:

Mate your plants are looking wedge ! i never realised they were that big ! With the yellowing leaves some peoples plants never yellow that much even though they are finishing up, i think its different from strain to strain because i noticed on phatjays girls they were still very green at the end of flower although mine were quite yellow...but ye like i said on my thread, get sum dried pics up and smoke report when you have dried and smoked it ! Nice work on ur first grow mate :D

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

thnx mate.. Yeh i wil ful report.. I dnt no wt 2 gro nxt.. Any ideas? u fink toppin alot bttr dan keepin one main cola?
