Only once a day for the first 2 to 3 weeks. After that, every 2-3 days was recommended. I water every other day.Quote:

The AK is another story. They are very pliant and respond quite well to being tied down to control height. The AK's are showing quite a few more and bigger bud sites than the BA's.:D
Outdoor temps are starting to climb now. Been hitting about 109F in the afternoons. The BA male out back is still alive but, from the looks of it, it won't be for much longer. We're doubting now that we'll be able to successfully move a female out there to get pollinated.:( We'll either have to do it the hard way or hold off until the new grow room is done. But, that will be a while.
thanks for the info mc. i just read that on killas log too.
if you can, try to move the male to were he doesn't get very much direct sunlight. some strains like a lot of direct light, some don't. if you can get it back into a pot you can move it around and figure out it's preference. then when you find a good spot you can plop it back into the ground. just a though.
everything is sounding good.

McT, I hope all's good with y'all. You said it - it's getting to be a NYC subway during rush hour up in there. Nice to think of a subway car full of ladies all bumpin' into each other which is almost as good as the pictures of your ladies. You've got a tent full! I hate to read about the BA dude not doing well in the heat. I wonder if it's the heat or the direct sunlight like shake said? It'd be nice to get some beans off a BA mix, but if you lose him it won't be the end of the world with all of the bud from all of those ladies! Ahhh, the silver linings....
How right you are my caped freind.:) The BA male didn't make it. I checked on him this morning and it was a pretty sad sight. He'll become mulch when I mow the yard later today. He was fairly well shaded but I guess the heat was just too much for him. But, no great loss. It was more of an experiment anyway.
Now, moving on the the bright side, there are buds starting everywhere!:D I'm sure it's way too early to call these shots bud porn but the sight of all those blooms starting to form is certainly getting the Mrs. and I excited.:D:cool::stoned:
On another note; After a couple months without, an old freind paid a visit and hooked us up. I don't know what this stuff is but it sure is potent. One doob takes us two days to smoke. The aroma is so strong that we have to keep this stuff in the master bathroom with the exhaust fan on. And, that's before we light it up! We don't dare sit in the living room and light up. Thanks Old Man.
McT, your pics sho nuff look like bud porn to me - sahweet! As long as they're getting plenty of light, which it looks like they are, being crammed in like that may actually help support all of that heavy bud they'll be bearing here shortly.
Hey, man - when is your surgery? If you've already had it, I take it that everything went well. And, if you haven't had us, give us all an update on when so we can keep you in our prayers, my friend.
Sorry to hear about the BA male, but it's an easy thing to take in stride especially now you have all that bud candy to ogle and smell. Continued good luck to you!
I go back to the surgeon in a week. He'll order some more tests, CT Scans and such, and then decide when I go back under the knife. Mrs. McT wants me to postpone surgery until after the harvest. The Dr. may not want to wait that long. I think she'll do just fine with the feedings. Keeping them tied down may be a different story.;)
They seem to be getting plenty of light at this point. In another week, or so, we'll decide if we're going to do an "SG supercrop" job on any of them. Since SG says they slow down for about 30 days and then burst, this may be the "pause button" that the Mrs. wants/needs.;)
McT, I hope you don't have to go back under the knife. I don't wanna pry as to the reasons, but obviously I hope it's not anything that is life threatening. Regardless I'll keep you in my prayers.
I'll be interested in seeing the supercropping if you determine to head in that direction. Seems like Dive had supercropped a couple of his BG or B-52s just for demonstration purposes.
Whichever way y'all determine to go, I know it will be a good one. Looks like you'lll wind up with some serious bud weight! Be good out there, my friend!
Jake ~ Actually, it will be good news if I can go back under the knife. It is not life threatening, per se, but it would be nice if they could put me back together again. Last October I had just finished a 2-year treatment of radiation and hormone injections for prostate cancer. That night I started having abdominal pain. Two days later, when I couldnâ??t take it anymore, the wife hauled me to the ER. Two hours after that I was in surgery for a ruptured colon due to diverticulitis that I didnâ??t even know I had. Because of the radiation, they were unable to patch up my colon and I ended up with a gawl-durned appliance hanging off my stomach. They are hoping that Iâ??ve had enough time to heal up inside so that they can reconnect things and I can ditch the appliance.
If they canâ??tâ?¦â?¦â?¦ wellâ?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦ Iâ??m still looking for the bright side on that one but, Iâ??m sure Iâ??ll find one eventually. Yup. Iâ??m one of those whose cup is always half full. No pun intended.:D
Now to the ladies:
One of the AK stems creased a bit, probably during the night. But, it didn't fold very much and the cola looks fine so I didn't splint it. I don't know how much closer to the lamp these ladies want to go. Most are within 12 inches now but aren't showing signs of lamp burn or heat stress.
Here are a few pics from this morning's feeding.
haha, i can only imagine the look on the surgeons face if you tell him you want to postpone until after the weed harvest!Quote:
