Thanks shov! I couldn't believe how fast these grew compared to the first seeds. The second set of NL seeds seem to be going just a bit slower, but are still good. I should start a new log... maybe today. Professional crastination! :D

Man those re-vegged ones look wicked. And those NL seedlings look to be coming along NICELY as well. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to blow them out of the water with my next log. Haha J/k. I have NL in there too, so will show you what 'mine' look like. Along with the BG as well. :D
That 250w is treatin' you right, man. Good job. If I haven't given you rep yet, I'm going to now, for sure. :D I think I have, though. I would be ashamed. :o
Heh, if only I had stayed in the closet and pimped that out instead of going to the cab eh? We'd have twin grows sorta kinda now that we're both doing NL. :) ... er, I mean now that I'm doing NL and you're pretending to grow NL to act cool on the internet! ;) How far along are they?
Those little buds-on-a-stick are exactly what I wanted from them. They are getting covered in trichs already and smell so fucking good. I hope they're the 9-10 week pheno and not the 11-12 week one! I think they are, but we never got Betty to the end so I'm not 100% sure. They're more like Lucy than Mercedes.
Shov & Fog
We should have a friendly competition with some of our new plants. That is, if/when me & fog actually start our new logs. :)

Heh, she had a little belly on her too for a while when bcchronic was training her into a Z shape. :) He gets full credit for the name too, since she was his clone till he realized he wasn't going to get his shit ready in time to keep her.
She barely flinched at the re-veg, the other 2 took longer but they're all growing like crazy now. Your clones should do fine! I'm feeding them Advanced Nutrients, following their 8-week veg schedule at 100%. Same with the ones in flower, AN 9-week, medium strength.
It warms the cockles of my heart that you used the word cockles! Maybe below the cockles... maybe in the sub-cockle area, maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys... maybe even in the colon. We don't know. :D

Mercedes is getting chopped on Sunday late morning or afternoon. 7 PM Friday when the light goes she'll go into the closet for around 40 hours. I can't wait! :rastasmoke: :weedpoke:
Wendy & Wilma still great. They smell really mango-ish just like Lucy so I'm hoping they're the faster flowering pheno. They've got some brown pistils @ 4 weeks so I think it'll be alright. :thumbsup:
So Wendy got left out of the pics... the close up of Wilma bested her profile shot. Sorry little girl, you just didn't make the cut. ;)

LOL! Nice pics. Still laughing at colon cockles.

Jane, Veronica, and Oprah vegging yesterday... more pics from today so just pics for now. ;)
Northerns are going to get a new thread so check the Grow Log forum for that soon. :jointsmile:

what can I say... sex sells!
I took a trip to the grow shop around 11am (I like working at home :)) and since I am short on space in the veg cab I thought I'd try out the grow bags since you can pack those together tight. I got some 1gal and 2gal bags, and a 1gal pot to compare.
:blueknife: So far, I don't like the bags one bit. I don't like filling them, making them stand up, their shape (too tall for my cab, had to fold over), how they hold the plants or how they change shape. Their pliability is as much of a hindrance as it is a boon. And packed together the plants get pretty crowded.
:thumbsup: I think I'll go with square 1gal pots if I do little plants or a SOG, and 1gal or 2gal round pots for mothers or plants for a scrog. Bags are pretty much out for good, I doubt I would try them again. It was a dollar well spent to know that I don't ever want to use them again. :)
So here is the cab today, after a bit of work transplanting these guys and packing them into the cab. It's a bit tight in there so it's a good thing that some space in my flower cab is opening up soon! :D
It's so fucking bright in there you see white after looking in there for a couple minutes... when I look in there for 10+ it gets really bad and I can't see a damn thing when I look away. (there are 270W of daylight CFLs in about 4.5 sq.ft)
That's all for today... more this weekend when it's harvest time!

Hey, thank you for spending the $ so I don't have to. I'd been wondering about bags myself.

Today I fed them all 80% strength nutes again. I retied Veronica & Jane a bit, and Oprah a tiny bit. They can't really go out much further in this cab, there's just no space! They're almost big enough to fill the space in my flower cab so I should probably throw them in there within a week or so.
I figured it all out one day and in order to produce just more than enough cannabis to sustain myself I need about 3 pounds a year. If I give myself 4 harvests a year I need to yield 12oz per harvest. That's about 1.3g/W with my 250W HPS so I know I can't get that much yet but I'd like to do the best I can. If I can pull in 3-6oz (2-4x my first harvest) then I will be pleased with the results. I'm using more plants and making better use of the space, and the plants are closer to the light and I'm using real nutes so I don't really think that's an unreasonable goal. We'll see if my ambition pays off.
I'm not going to put a screen in this cab so they're just going to be trained, no scrog this time. I want to try a 10-12 plant sog in this cab if I can't get a new cab & light before the next crop (Northern Lights, see sig).
I'll post some new pics of Wendy & Wilma (flowering plants) will be up sometime next week. They are nice & frosty, already on more of the leaf than on Mercedes or Lucy. YUM!
Oh yeah, a few days ago when I was tying Jane I broke a branch. She's the plant in the last pic... the branch did not even flinch! I bet you can't even tell which one it is (unless you can see which one isn't tied down ;)).
There are a few more pics up next... if you were curious. :rastasmoke:

Here she is... what a beauty! I can only imagine how much more she might have yielded if we know how long she'd take and fed her accordingly... if only we could have known. Anyway we are far from disappointed, just wishful thinking there.
There's got to be at least an ounce there, maybe up to 35g. I am really going to try and use someone's scale to weigh it up when it's dry. The last pic here is of Lucy's nugs drying... look at the difference... :D :thumbsup: Not to hate on Lucy, but Mercedes was just a better plant on all fronts except flower time.
Thanks for everyone following the log so far, but don't leave yet... there are the 4/20 popsicle girls to harvest and then 3 monsters in the veg cab still to go.
After that I won't grow this bagseed for a while because I have a lot of beans waiting in my fridge that I am really stoked to try out. :D
