Joe,
Don't worry about stress. Why do you think they call it Low Stress Training. I use bent coat hangers as stakes when I LST. It makes it easy and will not strangle the plant.

i havent posted in a while cause... i havent seen much growth. particularly in the flowers. i think i have a couple hermies. i pinched some male flowers off, about 5 or 6, and i see some seeds poking theyre way up. mostly on the bagseed though. whew. more bagseeds. whoo hoo...
thanks for the idea, jerry. pinning her to the ground with wire sounds alot simpler and less hassle. i might try that next round.
and this things not letting me post any pics or smiley stoney faces so, i guess next time. sorry.
fuk. STILL cant post pics. whatever.
im gonna harvest that WW clone in a week or so. maybe two. shes just slowing down spewing fworth her second set of pistils. 40 days into flower, but this is gonna be my first harvest, and, i kinda want it now.
on the veg side i think i have anywhere from 4-7 confirmed femalesout of my 7 plants. so thats good news. wish i could post some pics. these ladies are one month and one week old. again, wish i could post some pics. i cant even insert smilies. whatever....

thanks killa. yeah hopefully ill have a better idea of how to keep the hermies out next time around. i think it was either a light leak (fixed but still needs improvement,) or just a shitty femenized strain (it was a clone from a friend.) any way, the plant is 41 days into flower today, and i think im gonna harvest her at 54 days.
im growing somemore WWs and afghans (from AMS) and theyre looking very healthy. but i cant post pics still.i dunno why. oh and nice looking dog. i got one (a pit/lab) and he just got his cast off. after that, he just SHOT UP! hes still kinda small, but he grew alot.
alright heres the pics!
so heres the dog with his cast off. he grew alot. almost a year old.
these are all pics of the veg side of my closet. in here i got, 5 white widows, 2 afghans, my 4 clones (all took root) and my lst experiment (one of the WWs.) theyre a couple days old so ill post some new ones when i see some growth.
heres some pics frm the fower side.
first is some kinda mystery skunk. very smelly. greasy.
next is my white widow clone. im gonna harvest her soon. i snuck a bud the other day, dried it in the microwave, and then finished drying it behind the xbox. came out TASTY!!! and very stony as well. smelled sooo good, and after smoking it, i could taste it on my breath in the shower like, 10 minutes later. this was a hermied plant, but im happy. i havent caught any male flowers for like 2 weeks. some seeds on the lower buds though. oh well. 41 days into flower. ill wait till like 50-54.
third is my P3 bagseed experiment. 30 days into flower. im seein purple streaks on the calyxes, but not to much resin, nor much stink.
heres is my P2 bagseed. 11 days into flower.
and last, a group pic.:rastasmoke:
Beautiful man.
My widows are just starting to flower now so I always love a nice pic of a WW bud. :P
whatup everyone. just got the CF in the mail. its a 25"x5" Active Air filter weighting in at 16 lbs ($55 at hydroponics.net.) i also ordered the matching 4" flange, a 6" 235 cfm vortex powerfan (to assist with the existing 4",) 4" and 6" ducting.
first, i duct taped the flange to the filter. you can drill holes and add screws for added support, but tape was all i needed for this one cause there shouldnt be much stress on the inlet (of the filter.) the i positioned the filter in my "box" (im using a 26" rubbermaid container) making sure somethings' underneath the filter, supporting it about 1" off the ground. you dont want the filter just sitting on the ground. the more surface area, the better.
then i marked the 4" inlet (actually exhaust) where i will cut a hole for the filter. then into the garage, where i cut the 4"hole i marked off on the box using a hole saw. i also make a 6" hole about 3 inches away (for the pressurized intake.) after cleaning out all the crap, back into the grow room.
the third pic is the 2 holes im talking about above. also the filter is held in place with duct tape (dosent have to be rock solid. were not goiing off roading or anything.)
finally, (not really,) i attached a length of 4" ducting to the filter inlet, through the 4" hole i cut. i did this before the box was installed because this seal has to be right on tight. again, im just using duct tape.
no my "pressurized carbonation filtration device in a box" is ready to install (after we install the fan.):rasta:
*now (typo)
heres the filter all hooked up.
the intake is in the veg side--> reflector--->6" fan---> filter in a box--->4" fan---> outside finally!
first pic is the 6" fan installed right before teh box.
next is the box, right after the fan.
pics 3&4 are my crazy ventilation system. all hooked up and beefed up! i know it seems like kindof an overkill, but it works really good. there are alot of twists and turns in the ducting, but with 2 fans and plenty of slack (in the ducting,) no problem.
last is my 4" fan that exhausts all the filtered out of the room.
ahhh. one less thing to be paranoid about.:hippy:
lookin good man
The setup looks cool.......the new babies look like their going to grow nicely....go show mate....looking forward to some more pics!
nice work man, just wanna throw a lil advice your way. each time your hose/duct bends 90% it decreases the efficiency of the fan by like 60%... I had high temps for a while (and four 90 degree turns) just streamlined it to a straightaway and it stays 75 in there.
good luck man,
Z
thank you all!
yeah the fan thing is complicated. i have a 6" wich deals with all the twists and turns, and a 4" on the way out that has straignt ducting. took me a while to figure it out.
will probably post pics tomorrow.
well, i cant post pics again. maybe when i get home from work ill restart my cpu and see if that helps.
ive been looking into getting a vaporizer lately and am thinking of getting the silver surfer vaporizer (SSV.) either that or spend $500 on a volcano.
my LST experiment plant (WW4) has just been confirmed female! that leaves me with 4-5/7 plants, female. 3 still to show sex. i put the ww4 in flower.
i also started flushing my WW clone. shes about 45 days right now, and ill wait another 2-3 days. the top half is looking especially ripe. no more white pistils and almost 50% cloudy trichs.
allright... after restarting my pc, i can now post pics.
first we have 4 white widows and 2 afghans vegging out. about 44 days old. im gonna flower them as soon as i have space. hopefully within a couple weeks. 3 out of 6 so far confirmed female....:hippy:
these are my clones. ill figure out theyre age later. all i care is that they survived and now maybe i can clone some bad-ass strains!
this is my lst experiment. actually the fourth white widdow i got this batch. i think shes a she, but i poped her/him into flower just to see for sure. plus im running out of space in my veg side. i plan on keeping her in flower, or killing him.:rastasmoke::rasta::smokin::hippy:
!wow!.:D how R U keeping ur leafs so nice and green?:D
I'll be watchin.:)
why thank you hydro! i think alot of it has to do with my sheek, flouro lighting. and also i never grow more than 14 plants at a time (legal limit) so i keep track of them individually and give them plenty of TLC.:hippy:
Ok then what R U feeding them?:thumbsup::D
Hey thar, just wanted to throw a couple suggestions for vaps your way, try the hotbox and check out the vap genie, I've got both, different uses (basically like a spoon and a bong)
What day of flower are those pics in?
peace,
Z
good job joe it looks good!!! :rastasmoke:
thanks bickey!
hydro: ive been using the foxfarm line from the beginning. i also use some thrive alive B1 green for seedlings and clones. and to give the roots a boost. if they need it (but they never do.) uhh, neem oil, molassas, peroxide. i got some hygrozyme but ive never used it. for soil i use a mixture of "organic sunshine" and "black gold" potting soils, mixed with about 1/4 perlite. some worm casting or manure if you got em. i may have some nice green leaves, but im still a noob and i gotta get my yeild up.
zessley: ill see if they got em at the local headshop. the only other vapes ive tried are the vaporbrother box (shitty) and the volcano (fucking executive.) i might splurge on the volc, but i would also want something differint and maybe not so big/bulky/expensive. but easy to use, healthy, hits fat, ill shutup now.
the white widow im gonna harvest soon is about 47 days into flower. the shorter one in front (its proped up on an upsidedown pot so its even with the other plants) is 2 days behind. and the other bagseeds ive lost track. ill just harvest when theyre ripe.
finally got around to harvesting! it was about 56 days for my white widow clone, and i decided to harvest her i two phases. first the top of the plant, which yeilded about 18 dry grams, then the bottom a couple days later, im guesing around 25 dry grams. so more than an ounce off my first plant, and its a clone! im happy:D
fist pic is my drying box
second is the top half harvested
pic 3 is top half
pic 4 is bottop half (in the box)
pic 5 is a jar for curing! whoo hoo! finally:rastasmoke:
wait. pic 4 is the top half and pic 3 is the bottom half.
and btw. this weed is AWSOME!!! not quite a one hitter quiter, but nothing is with my tolerance. but it DOES get me all red eyed after just ONE BOWL!!! and it tastes like it smells!!! sorry im excited but, not many dealers can say that about theyre shit shwag. just maybe needed to flush it more next time, and now its gotta cure.
Happy to hear. :)
I should have 10-15 ounces WW here cured and ready in 6-7 weeks.
56 days you say. Was that from start 12/12 or from start of actual flowering? And what color were the trics?
And last, HOW was the high?
Very interested in WW grows and results here hehe.
Puff
puff: always from start of 12 12. the trichs were about 80% cloudy with little or no amber. i just wanted to get my first harvest underway. maybe about 10% clear trichs still. keep in mind this is a clone, and will mature faster than a plant form seed. i got 4 more WW females about 1.5 months into veg that are going right into the flower room as soon as i make space!! and one afghan.
10-15 ounces you say? i woundnt get your hopes up. better to aim low and be astonished than to have high hopes and be dissapointed. i was thinking i was gonna get only a half-0 from this plant but now its looking like alot more. ive read this "theory" somewhere else too. especially helpful with first grows/ first timers (like myself)
the high is a happy uplifting high! very happy and makes me wanna do things. like things i normaly dont wanna do (laundry, dishes, work, etc.) also tastes very clean and fresh, neutral in flavor. i think i would like a heavier, more indica smoke next round.
i also got about 20 seeds off this man-whore of a plant. hopefull theyre all WW x WW. and they ought to be feminized.:rastasmoke::rastasmoke:
Well I have 5 huge plants here littered with flowers so if I don't get 10 ounces I will actually be very disapointed. Even the FIMed one is closing in on 50inches after 22 days in flower. The other 4 is 60 by now.
I don't know ofc but 2 ounces a pop seems reasonable.
so maybe you should aim for something like 5 0s and then when you get your 10 or 15 or whatever you will be astonished! is what im saying:hippy:Quote:

So how was the smoke from it? :rastasmoke:
a little harsh at first, but after a week or so of curing it was very pleasant. dosent have any distinguishable taste, definetly fresh, good. it does that that slight coffee aroma. i think i should have waited longer to harvest, you might want to.
howzit. havent done an update in a while cuz ive been real busy with work and my new bike. but i still havent forgot about my log.
anyway, heres the process of the harvest of my "mystery skunk!" i must say, this is the best week ive grown YET. it smells f-n AWSOME!!!. super strong pungent skunk/perfume fragrance with that good coffee aroma from proper curing and drying. sad to say im already down to my last 10- grams. but yo can see it weighed in at just under an ounce, but probably wouldve wighed more cuz i sampled nugs premature.:stoned:
first two pics are a purple pheno bagseed. i think it was P3. any way, it went crazy hermie on me and the weed fukin suked. some of it was pretty good (oddly, the purple parts. in this plant, the colas that recieved the most sunlight turned purple.) but most of it was seeded out shit.
3rd is a pic of my mysterys skunk harvest and what i got left of my WW clone.
las is my new bike. a big distraction from my growing... (or is it the other way around?):D
k. heres a pic of today. first one is an afghan (right,) a white widow (left) and a lst'd white widow (front.)
2nd is another bagseed. i think P2. or the other way around. any way, this bagseed is all frosted over, pretty dense and almost ready for flusing.
third is two more WWs in veg, waiting for space for flower.
these are my Big Bang seedling. feminized from GH. 5 out of 5 sprouted. im happy.
these things in back are my clones. theyre striving, perhaps too much. i need to transplANT. whooops hit the caps.:rastasmoke:
i now have a seperate log for my big bangs. i hope they come out nice. if i have some time i might take some clones. anyway, heres the clones i took off my P3 plant. i just transplanted them and will probably flower them in these 1 gallon pots(they didnt have much of a root ball when i transplanted.)
theyre momma is gonna be harvested later this week.
second pic is the flower side redone a little so i can fit 6 hefty ladies in there with out much trouble.
