Thanks for taking an interest m8. The grow tent I use is a Secret Jardin Darkroom. It is very good with a lot of options as to how you want to direct the airflow etc. Also possible to access the plants from 3 sides so you dont need to take all out to reach a plant in the back. It is coated in Mylar on all surfaces inside from factory. :D

My love on CanCom. (If you are a chick :P)
Well when my interest was hooked I started with reading some basics on growers forums just to understand some essentials and after that watched a few movies. Jose Cervantes made two that are very good for basic knowledge for exemple. After that I was really interested and almost cut back on my sleeping time for a month just consuming articles about more and more advanced techniques and genetics etc. One thing I always use as a guideline when studying something is that nothing is true until it is verified from more than one source and on internet u need to triple that so I kept on reading so much that it was hard to find more. Started to stumble over the same stuff more and more. CanCom, Icmag, rollitup.org, uk420.com, youtube, pirate bay and much much more. I vacumed the internet. :) I also found some materials from commercial professional growers that I actually started to understand whith the knowledge I had collected. It was jibberish when I looked at it at first and I didn't get just why they did as they did but now I do and can use what is possible to apply on small scale ops as my own. Some of this is easy to find. For exemple search on Green house on youtube or Pirate bay and you will find some info from Arjan posted directly by them. Arjan is one of the best growers/breeders alive imho. Other info is harder to get but always possible.

It's fun to sniff around for more, find something new. Try to verify it. And ofc to finally put it to practise.
I started quite simple and the goal with the first time around is to see what works and not. Problem is I had so few problems I haven't had to solve a lot. :P I also wanted a "grow as you please" grow first time to see for myself how the plants develop when left to grow as they want. I did FIM one as a reference but 4 are left more or less untouched. Well 2 also had to be stopped when they tried to grow through the roof. hehe.

Anyway thats the storry of my waken month(s) in Mj growing "school".
In real life I studied first science and after that economics and law by the way. I was a racedriver as well but crashed after some years of international racing in Europe, broke my back (quite low luckilly)and are home with tons of time to spare so that's why I needed a close to home hobby that is interesting and I can throw myself at.

Hmm, another novel sized post. Sorry.

LOL!
They took it like a charm. No nute burns at a stunning 2100ppm. These bitches know how to eat!
So what happened during the last 12 ours at that nute level is that they made CRYSTALS like mad. The difference just these last 12 hours is insane. If I can keep this nute level up for two weeks, and I don't see why not, and then ease off as I stated in my plan 2 posts ago I will have some mean buds at harvest.
I took a pic with the crap camera in HPS light just to give an idea. In white light from the flash at lights out tonight you will see them sparkling. The HPS light makes it impossible to get a good pic of that but use some imagination until then.
:D :D :D :D :D

holy crap dude.. that is sexy as hell. What a big difference that is.

First thing I do when I have cash to spare is buy a real camera instead of the $100 crap I have here. :(

Out of 30-40 pix these are the best. Sorry.

Day 37 12/12...

4 of the 6 colas of plant 5 with some of the other plants in the background:

Cola plant 1 with some random buds around it:

I hope you get the general idea at least. Too much white (if that's possible on the buds now so this shit camera only translates it all into white blur.

Just make sure you give em a good flushing, with all the nutes you're using you dont want to risk the taste of the genetics too much. The article in the last hightimes to come out is very informative check it out :thumbsup:

Ye.
I know, and as I said a few posts back they will be kept supernuted for only two weeks now, then I ease off a bit until the flush before harvest. :)
High Times is not on shelves arounf Europe by the way. :(
Information is readilly availible for those who seeks though and that I always do.

My general plan of how I will handle the remaining time of this grow is decided on now and from here on in it's all about reacting to problems which I hope wont occure.

Thanks for checking in by the way, always glad to see a new face.

Hi Cyber sweetheart,
Right, good guess, female!
Those new pix, jump right out and tickle my nose!! Nothing wrong with that camera!!! Especially, the operator!
I use to have a neighbor that was retired race driver :thumbsup:. He also made professional race tracks around the world. His son now makes the tracks. :thumbsup: I had him make one in my yard to put the ATV kids on a professional race track and off the roads! It worked! He had pictures of teaching Loretta Lynn to drive and all kinds of people he met while driving.:D He even taugh me how to drive better to hit a cow instead of roll my vehicle to avoid it!! A lot more to it than anyone could possibly imagine. Ever do the Baja--watched this years, was good! :cool:

Hope U don't mind off topic. You get me so excited about growing, I can't stand it! Imagine. . . .

This is such a fantastic grow!!! ;) Once again, thank you for so much more info! I have only scratched the surface on the books. Is High Times illegal there (want a copy)?:)

That is the perfect hobby for your work! My neighbor had many back surgeries! He used beer and whatever else for his pain, you have a big leg up!
Catch ya later, I need to call a sick friend.

Pain:
High Times is natrually not illegal its just not sold. Think distribution will be too expensive/sold copy tbh.

And offtopic is allowed in my thread. :) I will only "moderate" it if it truly gets out of hand. I mean part of the reason I post a log is to get to know some ppl here as well.

And work I haven't since. I am motorically ok. Well wheelchair ofc but I can stand up aven walk a few steps but very badly and only a few meters. However my back is my problem. I crushed it quite badly and It keeps me off the job market as I can't really be away more than an hour or two regularilly. Social security is quite good here though so I can live quite well compared to many others around the globe in the same situation.

Well.
What ya think about the 4 visible colas of that plant 5 by the way? :D And it still has 3 weeks minimum to ge hehe. There is a 5th not visible on that pic that is just as big as the biggest visible and a 6th that is a bit smaller.
The other plants natrually have big ones as well but since they are not FIM'd they only got one a piece and a bit bigger buds on the side branches which the FIMd one hasen't really.
Gonna be interesting to compare results between the plants in the end.

oh man.. those look tasty. Recently Ive just been laying in the room with my cab and soaking in the smell. The WW smells so dank yet clean and mine isnt even booming yet! Its just so much bud dude! Its so inspiring to see a first time grower having so much success. I may have to find my way over there when you get that mass harvested:D:thumbsup:

Thanks man. I am very happy here. :)

Was out yesterday and a friend had gotten some G13 Haze with her from Amsterdam and for some reason drunk as I was and knowing better I thought that was a 80% Sativa when I in fact know it is a 80% Indica. I hit that joint with a vengeance and one of the worlds strongest weed combined with it being a heavy Indica put me in a cab fighting hard to stay awake until I was home. Man that shit baked me.
Colors and patterns exploding in front of my eyes even. lol. Bad judgement combined with a LONG break and half a pure joint of the strongest weed in the world in a few minutes = end of evening. :P

Anyway, back to my WWs.
They are fattening up and producing tons of resin now. When grabbing the stems a bit under the buds and moving them back and forth you can really feel the weight of the colas.

Today is day 38 of 12/12. I keep them in 45-55% Humidity, 25-28 degrees C (about 77-82 F) and pH5.8 now. Nutes as I said is VERY hard. 1850ppm above tapwater a total of 2100ppm and they are loving it.
