Hello Burdo :) , I'm not guilty this time, it's the first time I've seen you're thread ;)

Can I ask how long they have been in flower ? .................. they are looking good but I think they will need a bit longer to mature before harvesting :)


love mand xxx :)

Thank You

Hello Burdo :) well from what I can see of them, I would give them a little longer yes ;)
They look very healthy plants and there does seem to be quite a bit more growing/maturing left in them yet.
However Burdo that's just my thoughts, so I hope a few others will post and give you their opinions ;)


Very nice looking plants Burdo :)


love mand xxx :)

Hello GK :) Hmmm let me think "foreplay"???? .................. no sorry I can't remember back that far to remember what that is :o ;)



Hello Burdo :) sometimes a gentle nudge (bump ;) ) reminds us to post a little :)

Burdo ..they don't look like monsters...but maybe they are a midget strain?
Still,they look to be happy...8 weeks seems a little long for the buds you have going on..they should be bigger [in a pro set up anway] Like GK said...it is hard to give an opinion unless we know the grow room details..still bud is bud and it all gets smoked by happy growers..as long as you have some bud you should be happy and keen to improve next time!

What's Environlite? Fuoro? HID? distance betwix light and canopy?
200w is a tad 'light' for flowertime..but what the fuck! wait and see what she's got.

Sound nice.....will you clone the females to maximise your yeild/space ratio..do you know what I'm talking about?

Hi easy roller could u tell me more i sort of know what u mean but i only have a small space with a 200watt enviro

Allow your plants to veg a while ..from seed[ about a month] take cuttings from each plant...[3 from each]
Flower one of the clones from each mother plant and allow the others to veg some more...
The flowering the clones will tell you what sex the mothers are and thus what sex the clones are in the veg room[which are now a bit bigger]
Now you have discovered what plants are female...and can flower the clones you have already taken...plus you can discardthe males and never worry about male plants again!!!
Simply continue to take cuttings your favourite mother plant[this will save you space coz you've got only 1 plant]grow the clones and flower them.
Flowering clones makes better use of the space because they are all the same size ,all are short ..and you are garaunteed females!

Easy Roller

Oh....to keep a cycle going..from which you can harvest every 2 months will require 2 grow rooms..one for veg and clones ...one for flower right?

Easy Roller
01-05-2006, 04:34 PM
If you flower 4 clones from the same plant, all the clones will grow at the same speed [in theory] because the have the same genetics..they will also produce the same yeild..Questions?

Hi here are the latest pics just taken of my 5 snow white under the 125 watt envirolite. i have them on bio biz all mix . mixed with some potting soil . on full bio-biz nutrients. @ 24/7 light.

they are about 5 weeks from seed. will be switching to a 200 watt red light in a couple of weeks @ 12/12

I also toped all of these plants yesterday. The idea is to keep them small and compact is this a good idea.

Any help with this info would be great as this is the seccond grow right from the start.
Thanks All :stoned:

Hey burdo im starting to assemble my growspace, and after a lot of reading, viewing and research on the web, i came across with even more questions about the lights...some ppl say that enviros are to slow (no prob with that), some say say that the best is MH for grow then HPS for flowering,,,,bla bla bla....what i want to ask u is:

How many enviros do u use for grow and flower stages?
Considering that my space is a 4x4x4 box with mylar all around will 2x125w enviro be enough (one for each stage)?
How many plants can u get under the 125´s for a good light/plant ratio?

Tks 4 ur help dude, and hope ur crops be high high

I kept every veggie of mine under 1 foot, and although for their size they had a nice amount of fuit, it wasn't as much as I expected. I think i will wait until they are one foot minimum (probably more because i found that they don't triple in size, although this was only 1 grow). On the plus size I grew four tomatos un a big tupperware bucket.. I have since decided to grow with a bigger space in open air until i get the proper area to use proper ventilation.

thanks
Dion
