Perfect! I saved the image to my computer for reference. I am going to get the microscope in about two hours and after that I am going to flush my res. After everything is settled I will look at the trichs and get a picture or two posted for you guys. Thanks WH!
this is about the only other good looking one I could find of a live plant..between the two you can see amber/cloudy/clear/milky I believe
Yes, thank you! All but one or two hairs are still completely white so I believe that WH was right in mentioning that there will be two sets of trichs that appear. In a couple weeks I will start to plan the harvest. Weird! It seems to go by so fast haha
That photo is a beauty as well. :thumbsup: X-C was running around the other day posting photos like mad....better ones than he usually has. :D I hear those were your work as well Mark. ;)
yeah I love taking pictures...practice makes perfect..Quote:

well that's good to hear...Global warming is inducing climate change and weird weather occurances...Quote:

Living in oklahoma I definitely know how much it can suck when mother nature's pissed off about something..
I was worried about you during the ice storms.....I've never seen anything like that so have no idea how bad they can be.....but I've heard they can really do a tremendous amount of damage.
I believe an area in oklahoma city was really where the damage was the worst at...the lines and trees iced over here, but never enough to make them fall and collapse..A couple of years ago though we had a real bad one and power was out for like a week..I guess with the hurricane this year we got a break with the icestorms..so far anyhow..Quote:

I agree and I feel it's the global warming too....as you said. It IS almost unpredictable in the most bizarre ways. I mean there's always been a wierd year here and there but it sure seems that in the last couple years the only thing that's been consistent about the weather is that its CRAZY!
yes it has been...definitely been weird here..Quote:

the entire van and trailer started hydroplaning.:jawdropper:
i stopped at the next possible motel, thanked God and changed my shorts.
scarey???
Yes:wtf:
and CM- a word to the wise.
ABSOLUTELY WAIT!
until the trichs are definately ready.
if not, u can do what i did,,,
smoke a z in less than 2 weeks and kick yourself for the lack of potency and patience.
as for global warming, nah, i aint buyin in on that one.
our planet is a living organism, been here lots longer than we. i'm sure an occassional shifting in weather patterns is how mother earth stays in balance.
yeah, i know 'polar ice caps' blahblahblah.;)
we also didnt have CNN decades ago, and didnt know what was going on in the next state, let alone in the arctic. The info-age has made a once gigantic planet, now fit into an ipod:wtf:

Yungjay I can't tell you how glad I am asked that question so that I can post some pics of the biggest yielding plant I have grown.....Crystal Limit and I couldn't tell you the original breeder but I still have a few seeds and keep them safely for future growing.
I generally grow 6 plants at a time and have 2 of each generally about 4 weeks apart in age at any given point so I harvest something every 4-6 weeks. It also gives me more space in the bloom room which uses a 1kw HPS. As a rule I get between five and six oz a plant...so about 10-12 oz a grow. Interestingly when I grew more plants at once (sometimes five females at once...THAT was stupid) I would come out with about 2 1/2 oz per plant....pretty much the same yield at the end. My hydro guy seems to feel that it's a matter of light x space will grow X amount of oz....whether they are all on one plant or many. (with all other grow factors the same) Something to think about and it seems to have worked out that way for me. Two plants is a hell of a lot easier to care for than 5!
PS....I believe that is both crystal limit plants in the first photo....one plant yield six something oz and the other was 8.5. Close up is of the larger yielding plant.
/drool
your plants got me all excited :)
From the limited experience I have seen WH I would tend to agree on the light & space thing.
On the global warming I have two opinions the first being yes there is global warming & it probably has happened before with a catastrophe in order to balance it out again long before we ever walked the planet. But then I'm with those that believe man has only evolved in atime space that would be a mere pollen cell on the time the planet has existed. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do something about it if we don't want to follow the dinosaurs.
The other one tends to kick in when I'm paying the equiv of $10 a gallon & I here people from very wealthy economies whineing about being expected to contribute moderately to cover there own environmental damage. Then I think well why should I pay for these people in a very wealthy system to be saved. Where I live could do with a bit of warming up & if London etc was flooded it might force the UK government to distribute the governmetn jobs more farily throughout the country. Like wise with the other areas in the world that are reported to be at risk, very wealthy & unprepared to accept their own responsibilities.
[EDIT] Soz LOL if London was floded maybe we could get rid of that bunch of corrupt old school boys once & for all.
I'l say no more on that one though. :jointsmile:
Weather's weird man...And think about what you just said...staying in balance...once the earth was a sea...once the climate gets warmer, the polar ice caps melt, the earth becomes a sea again..then freezes, then will dry out and have something like prehistoric time again..or so I think...it's a repeating cycle, but will not happen until we're all long gone..Quote:

We do that by screwing up the balance of things. And I also think people as a rule tend to take on an "it can't happen to me" attitude that completely blinds them to doing things with some foresight, common sense or an eye towards prevention.
Seriously.....folks just can't be bothered.
These are my thoughts but I seriously wish I had Mark's passion (goddamn youth) :D
My :twocents: is that Smith in The Matrix put it succinctly when he said "Humans are a virus...."
Ouch....that could be true. i'd have to give it some thought but there DEFINITELY similarities. I WOULD like to think that we give something back to this world but gee....I can't think of what that would be.
And Ps...That's MS Virus to you all. :D

I also believe in Free Will, and that we can choose to do better. Getting the whole world on the same page will be the challenge. Difficult, but not impossible as I am an optimist. Green herbal medicine will be what I will give back to those in pain! ;)

No, sorry if I confused you. I PLANT something every four to six weeks....like a rotating crop sort of thing. The crystal limit plants I "vegged" for about five weeks under a 1kw mh bulb and then took approximately 9 more weeks to bloom (under 1kw hps) .....so about 14 weeks total for these. :)
PS....plus i topped them twice. ;)
MVP....you really ARE an optimist. I don't for one second have enough faith in the world to get them all together on the same page.....unless it were a page of destruction.
I DO however believe in the "individual." How different we all are. The different ways we all look at and approach life. How much we can all bring to each other's table. It's mankiind's only saving grace in my opinion.
The world has an amazing ability to heal itself. It has before and it will again. It may have to cleanse itself of humans to do so, but it will happen.
I'll buy that!Quote:

Its a topic I would only be willing to pay my part for if everyone else pays theirs & I just don't see why I should subsidise others polluting habits when I live in an area that would be least affected.
from what i've seen on news reports, this is some kind of 'city use' tax for ppl who drive in the larger inner cities (like london, and nyc) created to try to discourage personal use to reduce traffic. this has been proposed for implementation in NYC with london being the model.
supposedly would reduce congestion as the key goal.
or, at least what u mention sounds like this same report.
wow, look where this thread has gone:wtf:
Rock
Yea the london model that gets touted for Manchester & Edinburgh along with many other places. Again its two opinions for those who live there on low income because they were born there it may seem expensive, but the city of London is also full of the countries highest earners & I know quite a few folk earning upwards of £500 - $1,000 a day moaning about a £5 congestion charge.
Another one a friend recently flew to Ireland advetised cost of the flight £6.00 taxes added up to £30 total cost of ticket £36 & now the tories (Aristocriscy rip off merchants) waffle about adding new green taxes to comercial flights on a per person basis. However no real taxes for the super rich flying about in there own jets. Fair taxation or a reservation of polution causing activities for the rich & favoured?
Sorry WH am trying not to go on re politics but you had to open the door. :(
Hey don't get me started about the rich (which I don't see as politics but maybe it is)
They're the ones who bitch about the price of a vaccine for their pet; sniff "bill me" on their imperious way out the door (we don't bill and they know that) and climb into their BMW or Hummer. Amazing crowd of folks imo. Really AMAZING. Its the poor folks that are honest and go without lunch a few days to come up with the $20 for the vaccine.....no complaining.....and always pay their bill on time. ;)
has begun. :D
Both plants are on FloraKleen and ph'd water. I haven't gotten tons of crud back (and I'm hoping that means the regular flushing accomplished it's job) and the shorter one has more of a ways to go than the taller one but it was easier to start them both at once.

You, me, 99.99% of the population- we got nothing.
" Politics" is how the rich keep us from eating them.
I'll buy THAT as well!!
PS....The hubby agrees with the "eating them" statement. :D
Best case for cannabalism I have ever heard anyway :). Land & wealth reform along with independence are topics I often end up banging on about. I find it not hard to tell when a politician is lying though because there mouth is moving.
N E way ggod to hear your on the flushing WH. I still haven't found a supplier over here for Florakleen & couldn't even see it in Amsterdam for sale. I found the UK distributor but no real retailers, I'll keep looking though.
Let them eat cake, and have it too.
I highly doubt an inter city tax will keep people out of the city. People are still going to do the things they gotta do. It's just another way to squeeze a few more pennies out of us poor folk. The gasoline doubled in price, yet you still see about the same amount of cars on the road.
WH, how long do you usually flush for, and I forgot if you do it at regular intervals throughout the grow? And do you know if Florakleen is about the same thing as Botanicare's Clearex, which is 3% Glucose and 1 1/2% Sucrose? And if so, why aren't we making this $25 per gallon sugar water ourselves?
Gonna go check on THAT puppy right this momento!! I generally go buy Zandor's flushing thing....I'll find the link to the post cause he explained it beautifully.
be back......;)
People ARE going to do what they have to do I agree. I just looked up the MDSS sheet for Flora Kleen....and guess what. The ingredients are a TRADE SECRET!! WE SHALL NEVER KNOW if it's sugar water or not.
http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...cs-system.html
I learned this exact same way to flush from my hydro guy and the few times I've skipped it I've seen a difference....not in potency but in taste (no biggie) but also the way it burns (a biggie!) If the plants have to go longer than a few days then I just keep them on ph'd water until they are done. Tomorrow will be starting day 63. :)
Opie this grow I have been flushing them pretty much once a month but all I was doing was pouring ph'd water through the buckets.....kind of like a rinse or something. (not using any florakleen) I was getting an extra 200 ppms of crud rinsed out of the medium easily by doing that and seeing several differences I appreciated whiich were lack of defs and issues caused by the fert buildup and a much more stable ph throughout flowering. I DID flush them thoroughly a few weeks ago....that time pouring water through didn't cut it so I had to go with 24 hours of Flora Kleen. Turned out to be well worth the extra work. ;)
Is it my imagination or all the photos gone? We harvested today and I was going to post a pic but won't until I'm sure the pics aren't being swallowed by the "upgrading and maintenance" that constantly seems to be occuring. :wtf:
There was so much we had to put a second row to hang things from.....a first for one plant. There are two colas that look to be about 1 oz apiece and TONS more. There are also SEEDS....so far have found ten during the trimming but I have a feeling there are MANY more hiding out in there. Lucky for us though.....two things.
1. This is easily a record harvest for me. I'm going to guess at about ten ounces but AM just guessing. And the seeds will make the harvest weigh more although I suppose it depends on how many seeds are there but either way some of that weight will be seeds.
2. I've become a huge fan of this strain so am quite happy to get more female seeds. This stuff is DEFINITELY a keeper. :thumbsup:
