Shov's Christmas Sativas 2008

wooooow. how can I get node on node growth like that. I bets because its a special kind of been.

anyway they all look great.

everything seems to be coming along beautifully shov. happy to hear you def got some ladies in the group. plants and clones look excellent. they are branching out nicely, "which only means good things are coming" < grandma's boy hah.

morning

I try to keep up to date with my journal and this log. The issue I had with high temps is all gone. The season is changing and the air is cooling down. I removed the fresh air inlet and fan. I just have the one fan blowing across the plants and the temp is down to 80º on the canopy.
I've been thinking back and forth about growing a little seed. I don't want to set up a separate area to keep a male until it's time to polinate so I will probably grow all females and consider buying seed from the old country again.

I'm still trying to find some information on growing and reviews of White Label Neville's Haze (which is what I think I have here)

Oh, and in the last set of photos the plants look wilted or something? They are wet, they just had been sprayed with water. I normally remove all the plants and carefully inspect them and spray them when I feed them (every third watering). This time I had to remove them to change the lamps and all. I use Thrive-Alive B-1 Green during veg and plain water now that they are going to flower.

Came back from Ma. yesterday and checked my plants. Of the four NevHaz and the four AK-47 there are two NevHaz females and only one AK-47 female. I do have a couple of AK clones that are fems but the two NH fem clones do not look like they transplanted well at all.

Today I supercropped all the branches to try and keep the heights lower. We'll see, the plants look like they will be pretty tall. I didn't dare to lst as the nodes are close together and the stem is very stiff. I'm afraid of snapping it off.

hey, I'm back on dialup as my pc shit the bed and my old pc dosne't have the card for the cable modem.

Here are the girls at 11 days 12/12. I really did go overboard with the supercropping as I twisted just about every branch to try and get the sub-branches to grow out, but they are doing fine.

AK-47 - five sections to each leave

Neville's Haze - mostly 9 sections to each leaf with a few 11s

Neville's Haze - with some pretty fat leaves 7-9 sections to each leaf.

I have two small AK clones in soil with the girls and three new NH cuttings under 18/6 CFL. I hope to have a couple survive. The last NH cutting were looking great until I put them into soil and they shocked. They did have some roots started too. :wtf:

shov, that sucks to hear only one female is left striving for the aks but she seems happy. at least ya have the clones, hopefully they yield well. those NH look pretty damn good as well. i have a skxh 3 weeks into 12/12, and its not flowering as fast.

great grow as always. i'll be back in 2 wks to check the progress, take care

Hey, MGM. I gotta look at the good side, I don't have enough plants to call it much of a grow as far as state law. Also, I have a square meter of area and between the three plants I think they can fill that area. At day 10 of flowering they are 24" tall and were FIMed weeks ago and supercropped about a week ago now. Plus I have the two AK clones and will hopefully be adding a couple of NH clones. If so, that will be pretty crowded, I'll add more side lighting. :jointsmile:

Lookin good shov! I myself am a masochistic supercropper. FIRM believer. The Church I have going into flower in a week, I have supercropped the main 3 branches twics. Now I got a good 8 strong tops. keep a look out man, its gonna be a MONSTER! Got a few suprises going on in my og that are gonna help me get this girl HUGE> sorry for the threadjack, lookin good brother!

Thank you, Bub. I do keep an eye out for your grow threads (as well as quite a few others). I can't say that I can keep them all organized in my mind though. I'll have to go check it out again... :jointsmile:

I've been thinking of how I may cut the bottom out of the three 5 gallon buckets and transplant on top of some kind of low profile vessel (ala BOG) to increase the root area if and when the plants look like they could use it. I have to be on the lookout for such a container.

In the process of lst I snapped one of the main branches on this NevHaz plant.

It is 16" long and had budsites all along the length. :(
There was no saving it. It pealed away from the trunk right where the FIM split the stem into four branches. There was nothing holding the branch to the stem but the outer 'skin'. To bad it's too early to smoke the little flowerettes.

Good news is, everything is growing nicely. The haze do show clawing of the new leaves but they tend to flatten out with time.
