Just a quick look through the thread, and notinced a couple things...

Shiny aluminum stuff collects and retains heat. Not sure if those absorb moisture too, but if humidity is an issue, keep an eye in 'em. Flat white paint is durable and washable.

Most major brands of potting soil are pre-buffered to nearly neutral ph. The buffers last somewhere around 6-8 weeks before they dissolve away and ph starts to fluctuate. Since most potting mixes are peat moss based, the ph will get more acidic over time.

I wait to transplant into final pots about 2 weeks into flower, for just this reason. Be careful with transplanting and there are no issues. (but don't drop the rootball or snap a branch) Never transplant a wet rootball. Wet rootballs fall apart.

All training/trimming should be done in growth stage, unless doing a Screen of Green grow. Trimming while the plant is flowering, is a good way to stress the nanners out of her. If a little bushy, I let 'em battle it out. Usually with no issues. Don't let water get trapped between two leaves. It almost glues 'em together. Mold or other nasties can form.

Why were you concerned with soil ph? What's your water ph, and how are you testing it?

Looking good though. Any specific questions? :thumbsup:

As long as it isn't a habit, the burn shouldn't do much harm. Gotta watch the rising heat, too. (the area just above the light)

Looks fine. They'll fill-in more, and likely there's not much stretch left in 'em.

Depends on how many plants, and how much yield you get from each plant. :thumbsup:

Proper nutrients, proper lighting, a solid schedule you can keep without difficulty, good ventilation and circulation...and the willingness to learn. The learning process can take a while, so settle-in and don't expect miracles overnight. Avoid "snake oil" gardening. No such thing as a miracle tea or tonic. You might want to read through some of the Myths and Folklore link I have in my signature. A lot of good info that can save heartaches and cash.

Right now, some White Widdow and a nice Cindarella 99 x Sweet Tooth. Kinda pissed my Northern Lights just got done underperforming. But, the weather hasn't been co-operating. Cold for a couple of days, hot for a couple, rain, heat, cold...I sure miss global warming. Starting to warm-up again though. :thumbsup:

No. Unless I have a fresh technique or insight, I usually hijack other's threads. :thumbsup: Plus, I'm kinda lazy. :jointsmile:

Yes, I use unsulfered molasses for mid to late flowering. Provides calcuim, magnesium, iron, and a few micronutes.
In my garden it replaces CalMag Plus, Sweet, and is a great source of carbs. As a matter of fact, unsulfered molasses is the base ingredient for many of the additives sold today. (mostly derived from cane sugar or sugar beets, and some are nothing more than simple chemical copies of molasses...)

cheers mate.. av u ever tried 48 darkness b4 harvesting. u gt ne piks ov ur ladys?

I fink i shud do it wen it starts flowering.. 2 giv buds a blue hue .. My brotha dun it wif purple and everyfin went dat colour..

Doesn't work that way. He had a strain that matures purple, which is common.
I think he was yanking your chain.

yoo rusty have you tryed it before?

i did use food colouring last year, and it dose work just like that. i mixed red n blue to get purple... and it dose just turn everything on the plant purple. if i would of kept it up im 100%sure the hole plant would of turned purple.

we shall c. =]

Lool i did this in primary school with white flowers. All the petals went the colour of the water, should work on weed then, time will tell !

I guarantee you are barking up the wrong tree. The only way food coloring would affect plant color, is if you spray the crap on your ladies after harvest. (very bad idea)

There are shitloads of 'purple' strains. Purple is a self-defense color often used in different species of plants for sun protection and for cold protection. Kinda like anti-freeze for plants.

Have I grown purple strains...? Yup. Still do on occation.
Have I ever used food dye to change color? Nope. And I never will, especially since it doesn't work and beyond marketing...means nothing except it's a colorful flower.

Your best bet in all this...read the FAQ's and some growlogs till your eyes bleed. Learning to grow cannabis is a process, not an event.

And if he was actually serious...you should quit listening to your brother, as he's clueless.

so u dnt fink it wil work mr rusty? I try it as a little experiment.. c wt appens..

howdy ere sum mor piks ov me darlins..

Glad you like the look of my girls, tbh I am a bit disappointed with the results this time round, the secondary buds are not as good as last time. But the cuttings came from a different mother with poorer genetics. Your ladies are looking good too, I would be proud to have them in my harem.

The only advice I can give about when to harvest you probably already know, which is get something to look at the Trichomes and go by those. Plants grown under CFL's mature slower than those grown under other types of lighting, as much as 2 weeks longer. Adding more light can negate this effect, so your side lighting should help them mature faster.

Thats my fault, I didn't mean to offend you (honest), I should have kept my opinion to myself. Grow logs are for talking about growing cannabis.

I don't really want to recommend because I don't think I have enough knowledge to make this decision for you. Looking at the latest pics in your thread, I would say the buds look immature and are going to take longer. They look like my buds did at around week 5.

It works in Coco and according to the guys that make my schedule in soil aswell. Here is the schedule that I posted up for GreenThumb. I'm sure he won't mind me posting it here.

http://boards.cannabis.com/members/p...od-results.jpg

If you are flowering for more than 9 weeks you add weeks between weeks 5 and 6. Not all these products are necessary to produce good results.

na thats all good mate i dnt mind.. Cheers 4 da advice mate.. How r u phatjay.? Me grandad lukin afta em so dats sweet.. Bt how long do u no there goin 2 take 2 flower.. I mean lyk da strain description sed it take 7 weeks 2 finish bt it gna take longer so wif cfls and indica u add anuva 2 weeks? Or keep it 2 8-9 weeks? Indica, and obv alot longer wif sativas. Lyk 11 weeks? U no wt i mean? Cheers phat.. Ow u doin busy?

I would aim for 8-9 weeks with an indica, those flowering times are for perfect conditions. If you were growing hydroponically with HPS you could finish them in 7.

I'm doing good thanks, I will be even better when I get to chop my plants down and have a smoke. :jointsmile:

GT your girls are looking nice, i would agree with phatyjay and say they still have a while to go till harvest. It can be hard waiting but more bud for waiting is worth it ! The plant i put under that led panel flopped ! did nothing good, she slowly got more and more unhealthy, the light is def a piece of junk ! and its joke how u got ur grandad lookin after them! make sure he doesnt nick any though :thumbsup:

yea mate il b watchin wen u harvest.. Cheers agen 4 the info phat i giv it nine weeks.. Da last week ice cold water 4 7 days den 48 hours 4 sr? Or add the stress ripenin 2 the 7 days? Yea me gdad sweet wif out his help my ladies wudnt ov made it.. So wt u gna do bout ur led panel char? And wt bout dat plant aswel.? Ow ur lady doin? Wt u gna do 4 ur nxt grow?x cheers phatjay agen..

ere sum piks.. Im gna giv em pk agen u fink dat b ok? Da hairs changd colour.. A few av.. Dat ok?

My version of stress ripening is covered in this post.

http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...ml#post2108125

But you need to google it, because I changed it slightly and I don't know if my way is as effective.


The Stress Ripening is added on to the end of your flush period.

Ignore the the pistils, they are not a true indication of when your plant is ready. Look at the Trichomes.

I already gave you my opinion on PK, scroll up a bit. ;)

sexy as fuck babe keep it up:jointsmile: sweet and succulent just like the ladies yesssss......:jointsmile:

some of the hairs on my plant were pink, especially the top cola, when I cut them. Look at the trichs is correct. Hair color wont say anything. I say once you see 30 percent of the trichs a amber/golden color. Cut it, when it dries and cures, alot of the trichs in that stage will turn to amber as well. Therefore, you will have a very even high, relaxed/couchy yet still up beat. Read more about how the the chemical changes occur when marijuana matures on google or something, the trichs are the eyeglass to telling that chemical change. Also, when a plant fully dries, that means you will have bud that the chemical changed from non-psychoactive to psychoactive. I'm saying that because, I would get so damn anxious to smoke my bud, that alot of the time it was still a little wet, and I didn't get anywhere near the full high. Wet weed is completely useless. Just letting you know from my experience. Experience is everything. :rasta:

hi every1 im bak.. hows every1 doin? Cheers ganjaman i need 2 get a microscope.. Ryt im in the finishin stages 4 my white shark.. Its bin 9 weeks on saturday but i dnt fink its ready.?
