(when it's dry/dissepated you have no worries. i can put the snakes back in their tanks as soon as it's gone.) as soon as it's dry you can put the ladies back. do this about once every 3-5 days for a couple of weeks. this should help out.

check it out here.

the ladies look awesome by the way! can't wait to see those buds.

Funny! I got that stuff under my sink! Used it for the kid when he had lice. So, I should basically "disinfect" the area with the stuff? Anything I should watch out for with this stuff?

i'm no expert but agree with you shake, as long as the new growth is good all is well, the yellowing could have been the clones feeding of the leaves. keep up the good work italiano

Thanks weedmaster! I gave them a bit more water this morning and they are starting to perk up and actually look really nice. I have them under a 20W (1200 lumen) 2700K CFL at the moment. I'm hoping that will give the plants a little stretch since they were so small when I took the cuttings. All is looking well otherwise :)

Appreciate all the feedback you two! :smokin:

just don't breathe the spray in. it's almost like a spray powder. other than that, no sir.

Just took some macro shots!

First 2 are of the bud growth....First one is booming, the second is lagging :( Probably be a 10 weeker!

Last 2 are some top shot bud growth.

hey buddy, looking good over here. I really like this site as a lot of people are doing the cfl grow. Your ladies are looking really nice. Im curious about a question that no ones been able to answer, what is a SOG. Ill be keeping an eye on your log as we are close in timing. Sorry to hear you got mites. I herd that the best way to avoide mites is to not take clones from another persons grow, start from seed. I cleaned my room top to bottom to make sure there was no pre exhisting mold/bugs/dirt and crap. I have had a few really little fly like bugs but thats it. Keep it up with the pic updates.

SOG means Sea of Green....Basically in a nutshell, it is packing as many plants as you can in a space. SOG works really well with clones as you can pack clones really tight next to each other! SOG grows are usually an even canopy with all buds growing at the same height. It works well with CFL especially since CFLs' don't have a deep light penetration.

good job Italiano i bet you cant wait to see some nugs!:rastasmoke:

LOL, growing is a waiting game can't wait for someone to come up with a autoflowering strain that takes less than 4 weeks, i'm sure there will be one soon:D

Just a couple more pictures! Enjoy

Pic 1: The main cola on one of the BB

Pic 2+3+4: The clones! First 2 have some weird growth, but I'm sure they will be fine in the following week or so. They are growing really fast actually! The last picture is the best looking of the clones.

Pic 1: Macro shot of main cola

Pic 2: Main cola from a distance.

Pic 3: The clones I just transplanted into 1 gal container and added to the 12/12 party in the room! :rasta:


You can really see the trichs' starting to appear on the buds! :D This SOB is going to be frosty in a couple of weeks!!!

I'm ready! I'm ready!

Giggity Giggity :giggity: Goo!

Alright, well I still have some mites on my fan leaves. I'm afraid to spray them with the organicide being at the stage they are with the budding. What else could I do to help aid the mite problem? Someone suggested dish soap w/ water and to spray the fan leaves with it. Or should I just get a no pest strip? That seems like a LAST resort as I'm not digging the chemical lingering in the air......

The lucky bud to get smoked, broken down, and rollllled up!!! Now onto smoking the thing! :D

Happy Toking Everybody!

starting to look pretty tasty Italiano.... :jointsmile:

damn that looks good

randoms...........

hey italiano, looking good. Your still only using 6 26 watt cfls? Shes looking good, nods are nice and close together, buds are looking good, altho, and this may be due to my inexperience in growing different strands, but it looks like for how much bud you got that there arent many trichoms on the leaves that I can tell, lemme look again, ya, are they still young? My girl is on day 36 of flower and she is covered in nice trichomes like a marble dipped in water then in sugar. I remember reading your first post, you were going to lst them, did you?

I'm using 12CFL (nine 2700K/three 6500K)......

I did LST them and let them go a day or so after I started flowering and they basically stretched back straight. :D

I probably should have topped or FIM them instead to promote branching better, but oh well....live and learn!

They are starting to fill fast now. They just finished stretching on me about a week ago, so now the last 60% of flowering time it should be fattening up (via the 60/40 phenomena). Supposed to take 8 weeks to finished flowering, but the sativish one looks to be a 10 weeker. By the time that one is done my clones I started flowering should be about 2 weeks behind that. So, if I'm correct then I should have 3 harvest two weeks within each other. I smoke a LOT of weed, so having some more meds every 2 weeks will be nice :D

I may even be able to let a couple of friends try em' out!

I have no idea what exact date I switched to 12/12 but it was sometime mid to late june. So roughly, 20-25 days right now.[/I]

Blueberry looking good bro! The blueberry i harvested has become well known amongst connoisseurs in my area..thanks to me :) I got very lucky on my first grow and my plants produced some of the finest smelling and tasting buds with a 4 hour high, that alot of people are saying "this is the best weed I have ever smoked in my life". These people smoke like they get paid to do it too! I do not sell the weed i produce as that is illegal but people are offering me $500 an oz for this stuff...man.. I'm too afraid of jail. I wish you had some 600 watt hps lights for your girls but if you keep doing what you are doing, you should get the same results! Sucks about the mites, i hope you can eradicate them. I had fungus gnats but some non chemical pest strips hung at canopy level and others cut in half and placed between pots (like a bridge) to catch the non fliers seems to have diminished them to the point where i see no more of them. Seems you are doing well with the nutes and not burning them.. this is important with the sativa dom one as they tend to hermie if stressed. Keep an eye out for that cause if it hermies it will do so with a vengeance. Bannanas will show after about 45 days into flower.. not a big worry as out of my crop there was one lone seed. Do not harvest too early and in case you forget.. do not harvest too early :) as tempting as it is.. waiting for the full 60-70 days makes a big difference in bud density and yield. I have a bud that weighed 7.4 grams dry! it wasnt very big just dense as a stone. I have g13 and stoned rhino in flower right now. Just cut 8 clones of my prized blueberry and they are in the cloner as we speak. That will be the next run.. all bb baby :) Some rhino too.... Keep doing what you're doing bro and you will be rewarded :thumbsup:

Thanks for stopping in! I always enjoy your knowledge considering you already had the experience with the BB. Yeah, the mites are dying away slowly but surely. This organicide is working, but I have to keep reapplying it cautiously every week.

I actually also have 3 clones in flower right now with the 2 ladies also. I can't wait for them sons of b****es to start budding!

Now that I've been doing these though, I'm ready for them to finish so I can concentrate on my next grow of OG #18 :D :D :D

Also, I will be purchasing a 400W MH/HPS switchable kit from ebay soon. That will be used on my OG's once I also get a portable AC! Hopefully it will cool down where I'm at in the winter and may be able to do without the AC and just run cool air from outside in!

Italiano715 your blueberry looks great, you really know your stuff and it shows! I will be Subscribing, and I'm going to send off for some of that PeakseedBC Blueberry to try myself. This will make a great thread for me to judge my own progress too. :thumbsup:

damn that blunt looks good :stoned:

looking really good mate:thumbsup:keep upthe good work bro:jointsmile:

Ital the grow is looking great. Back where I met you they have a new post in sick plants that sounds interesting. About another mite treatment coming from Australia that sounds all natural. Maybe not any help this grow but thinking about the future grows. Here is the link:

More pics please!

nice blueberry yum yum italiano :D

i've been smoking on some blue dream... blueberry x haze. nice stuff, real narcotic high. how does your blueberry smell/taste?

looking tasties

Alright these first set of pics are all the indica dominant BB and a picture of the clones I threw in there as well. You will see 2 of clones have F'd up mutated leaves, but I know it's from the stress I put them under from transplanting and the heat from the lights at first. Oh well, new growth is looking lovely. The one clone that isn't mutated I introduced to the grow room a few hours a day and let them harden a bit to the light and now it's growing fine! A bit yellow at the top, but I need to water them soon, so a fresh shot of nutes will probably cure that problem! :D

Anyways on the pictures!

These are the sativa dominant BB.

how long have those been in flower?. It looks from your pictures your lights are far away? yet your girl looks nice and compact as if you were using strong lights? looking good tho, keep up the good work.

The lights look far away because I moved them to take the pictures.

They are 2 inches from the tops with 4 CFL on each plants top. Then I have 3 more lower down the plant to hit the sides along with the clones. So 11 total. The one in the first set of pics is going to be the nice and compact one. The other one will be bigger, but probably fluffy type. I'm pretty sure they will have a different pheno also. I'm just looking forward to the weeks following up to harvesting when the bud gets it's true looks and smell!

Oh, it will be roughly 30 days (+/-) tomorrow since I changed to 12/12

I still have around 4-6 weeks left I figure

The first 3 are the indica dominant one.

The 4th is one of the clones (the nicer one :D).

The 5th is just a random pic of the sativa dominant one (if you look on the left top of the picture, you can see my little ladybug friend [damn mites] ).

ENJOY!

looking good man. Im on day 40 of flower and I just posted some pics, Iv got 11 cfls surrounding my girl tho. 3 23 watt 2700k at the top, then 8 40 watt 6/2700k and 2/4100k around the middle, shes loving the light, plus I used 24slice pizza lids and wrapped them in tin foil and hun around her to keep all the light reflected at her. Im going to upgrade to a 250watt MH I think.

Appreciate it ya stopping in to see the progress.

Yup, I've definitely lurked on your thread a few times :stoned:

I'm also upgrading to a mh/hps switchable ballast on my next grow. Probably a 400W.

i just checked ebay and they have a 400w mh/hps kit with balast, reflector and both bulbs 171.00 to ship to where I am in canada, crazyyyy.
