Well, I said I would never do another log cause something always happens as to not being able to make entries to the log. I'm so far into the grow that I think I'll be able to give frequent entries and show progress every couple or 3 days.

I have a room full of Big Bud and 2 Skunk #1's in flower now. 3 of the Big Bud are a week from harvest and there are others that follow behind 2 weeks from harvest. I have others in veg that will be added to the flower room as I harvest a plant. I'll be sure and get some pics of the vegging plants and tonight I'll get somemore of the flowering plants.So far so good! Lets just see what happens. I see big fat dank ass buds in my future!:D:jointsmile::stoned:

These were given to me by a friend in California. He used to live here and comes home to see his family from time to time. They were aquired from a friend of his in Cali.that got them from Positronics during a visit to amsterdam with his wife that wanted to see the tulips in bloom.

The buds are getting fat and dense! Trich's cover them! I've always loved this Big Bud.. It is so so forgiving when it is abused esspecially when grown outside due to the elements. When indoors they thrive if given all they need to produce top notch smoke. I'll be sure to get you some BEEFY pics to subdue your appetite. They are all in different stages of flower. First time I have done a perpetual grow. I like it! Endless Weed...

I harvested a plant last night and now have 5 plants revegging. This was a small plant. I had to flower some of them in the room early,due to vegging space. Those SK#1 are really starting to plump up. They are gonna be some fat dense dank buds! Still got 5 weeks to finish.:stoned:

100% positive it will. The plant that the clone is from was revegged 3 times.That would be 4 harvests from 1 plant. There is an advantage to revegging.:thumbsup:

I ask cause there not much left on there at all!! Keep us up to date on that would yea:thumbsup: Do you transplant? If so, when and how? Doesnt it need a bigger pot each time or do you trim the roots? Anywho, nice growing GA:D

Thank ya for the props! I'll transplant when it starts to veg. I just pull the bottom of the rootball out from the center,then put it in a bigger pot.I like to use a low profile pot or make ya one. The white square ones are kitty litter buckets.Bags are the next best thing for convenience.I love them. When it gets about 12-14 inches I'll flower it again. You really don't need to leave but a few small buds.I had one I vegged twice and the more you veg the same plant the taller it will be the next time.Big disadvantage for me with limited height.

Forgot to mention the revegging Big Bud. It's coming on strong! The rest of them will follow within days.

01-08-2011, 05:10 PM

Gee...I didn't mean to sound nasty about 'em. But I'm glad to see you're trying to save 'em. Learning through trial and error is much better than being a quitter and learning nothing.
Reminds me of an old saying I just made up..."A good gardener learns how to treat their garden. A great gardener learns how to treat their garden when shit happens." :thumbsup:

The rest looks pretty good. Good job. Wish I could view the video's. My connection is soooooo slooooow, all I get is 2 minutes of waiting, 2 seconds of video, 2 minutes of watching the cursor go round-n-round...2 seconds of video, 2 minutes waiting...and on and on.

I'm finally back to the point where I've got 3 re-veggers going right now. A Diesel mix, a Potent Purple mix, and my PokerFace. Still trying to catch-up, but getting closer every week. :jointsmile: I should have some good clonage in a couple weeks, unless something else breaks-down or blows-out...

You and Letseeya have'nt been able to see them. Man! wish ya could!! You'd be proud! All these harvests have come from revegging plants,up until I got these sk1 seeds. Now I'm gonna try and reveg the sk1's as soon as I harvest them.Finding all kinda pheno types in them. Wanna see how consistant the pheno's will be with these other 5 seedlings.. So far all 3 sk1 in flower are 3 different pheno's. That was out of 9 plants. The first round.One died. Wish you luck on the revegging ones you have!

Just thanks for the years of insight!:stoned:

She was about 2 ft. tall. I flowered her at 12 inches and the stretch came for about a week. Then started filling out nice. That big bud will go crazy around that 1000 watter!

I'll keep ya posted on the dry weight. That equals an oz. per foot.:jointsmile:

Very Very Nice:thumbsup: I'm hoping my 6-footer pulls atleast 2oz dry. The main top stretches from my elbow to my finger tips and is larger than my forearm, minus the little leaves sticking out...had to tie her up too...cant wait:smokin:

How do you trim/dry/cure to loose so little weight after harvest?

My last was 352g at harvest (12.4 oz), but only 99.2g (3.5oz) once it was dry and de-stemmed for curing. :confused:

The revegging plants took off,too. One is ready to go back into flower in a few days. Two more have started vegging back. I added 2 more skunk plants to the veg tent and we'll see how they veg back. Everythang looks GREAT,so far!

Now for the BAD news.
The 2 "Poor Clones"? One is coming back to life. The other one did'nt make it. Have no clue as to why. It just would'nt green up. Been that way for weeks and is rooted,too. Oh well!

I took these night before last. I was gonna post them,but work had me so stressed-out. I had so many change orders that it took most of the night to figure what fittings had to be made.How much duct and time would be involved. Well lemme tell ya this... When those young cats come to work on monday.. Everyone of them will have a hang-over.Makes it difficult for me.A change order is extra $$$$ for the company that in turn comes to the workers.7%... That's alot when 1000's are charged.

Ok...Nuff of all that! I have 2 SK1,revegging along with 4 Big Bud.. 3 of the Big Bud have started vegging back. The SK1 should be showing in a few days.. It's been over a week. Almost 2.

Wow GG freaking nice garden bro:thumbsup:the Big Bud looks killer, i have never had it before, but iv seen a lot of people growing it. Man ya ever think about putting one of your re vegs outside this spring. Dude you could get a monster from a re vegged plant. I had about half ripped off and still did well, because there are so many branches, it takes a long time to harvest or they would have gotten way more i think. But it was my p who ripped me, so lesson learned there.

But once they reach the veg stage, they really take off under the sun and yield would double for sure. I think it a mistake not to re veg a plant, hell its already there so why not get another load of buds off it, not to mention all the clones you can get too.

Damn skippy,it is.. It's not the work.. It's the ones that say why can't we do this after you have told them how it is gonna be done!! I don't need that kinda shit messin' with what I make.$$$$$$ Takes away from my family! I work too hard to have some lil snot nose kid thinkin' he knows! They ain't got a clue as to how to read a set of prints much less find the scale of the drawing.This is commercial work not residential. So everythang counts as well as every inch!:thumbsup:

I found that after a 3rd transplant the pots get bigger everytime you transplant. That takes away from your height that you have been working with. Me? I only have about 4' 10".. The grow bags help with height cause you don't have to fill it all the way full. They still get some new soil to advance during flower. I only transplant them before they go into flowering room.That was a great point you mentioned!:thumbsup:
