These is the nice outside plants see how it was pulled apart and both plants grew out horizontally along the string outside. After I put them in the pot they tried to just grow strait up again.
These pics are going to take a while I have 20 of them in photobucket but just don't have time to put them up right now. I promise I'll get them all up theis weekend. I have pics of the frog and the veg room and clones and the flowering plants and the sativas and a slightly blurry pic of the seed that sprouted from the calyx. I promis I'll get them up.

These are what's left of the sativas. I took the first on all down today, It's suffered I woun't lie, but it's in the box now drying. I took most of the second one down and only left a few branches on the bottom to see what they'll do. Both of these plants have already had about 4-5 harvests come off of them gradually.

Hey Everybody Thanks for stopping in to visit.
Anyways I've been so busy around here but my garden is going great! The clones from before are growing into nice little plants, many could be transplanted right now but I have nowhere to put them all then so they have to stay in the small pots just a little longer.
I've been able to take new Juicy fruit clones and have about 20 now and thaey are rooting very quickly in peat pellets. I couldn't find rockwool cubes lately and I figured my plants needed to be topped and trained anyhow so I might as well check them out. I must say I'm impressed.
The veg plants are doing awsome! Not an inch of floor space is empty. I'll have to take pictures today. Between my bending, topping, and pruning I've kept a good profile, kept the plants under control for stretching and competing, and produced about 5-7 strong tops for each plant, while keeping the plants unstressed and vigorously growing. My plants really do love me again after I changed the soil. I'm itching to get them into the flower room right now because They are so nice and it's been so long since I've grown a beautiful plant that I can't wait. Not to mention they are seriously running out of room and I need to start transplanting out of those little pots.
The flowering plants still have mites and they are still contained in the flower room only. By my calculations they should have about a week left. A few are doing really well and are still as healthy as they can be under the circumstances. A few others have just kept yellowing and with all the fan leaves go I figured I might as well pull the two sadest ones in the same pot down. Filled my drying box ri9ght up and is still drying.
Quick dried some yesterday,DH put his shoulder out again and really needed some. Did it in the microwave with steam. It was a little harsh but it fucked us right up! That sativa we've been smoking is so far in the dust behind the quality of these indicas. I can't wait for the box to dry to try it out. We figure now since I started the harvest as it dries and the box is free again I'll just take down the next sadest plant and fill it back up, and just keep doing that till everything is harvested. It keeps me from being impatient and pulling them all down when all I have to wait is a week, and besides it wouldn't all fit in the drying box anyways.
So once that is done the flower room will be sterilized for mites. Fans will be moved around, heaters and termostates installed, and my pretty 1000hps is being used this winter along with 2 of my 400hps in the flower room. With all that light my babies should be lovely, I can't wait.
Oh the mothers are doing well too. The alcopolco gold gave me one strong clone already and should give me about 4-5 more before I put her out of her misery. The seed growing from the calyx died a while ago. The Juicy fruit mothers are taking their time to make sure they grow big and strong and are putting out great healthy clones. The white rhyno mother is growing into quite the bush! I'll take a picture of just her. I'm very tempted to put her in flower too since I was having hermi problems with her and want to replace the grow with juicy fruit and AG, but I'm wondering if the coco was causing the hermi problems and the problem might be gone now. But I'm not sure I want a strain that is that finicky around when I change over to aero, so manybe I should just flower the last of the White Rhino and be done with it, I can always buy some seeds later once the kinks are worked out. I have 2 great strains to replace it with anyways. Oh and all the clones I took off the outdoor plants when they were still in veg. So this next harvest cycle should put out some interesting variations.
Oh the frog is still around He digs into the soil of my plants occasionally but that's ok he's just being a frog.
I'll get some pics up very soon, maybe this weekend.
TTFN

Complete update to follow...
Here's what's going on now...
OK I grow in Sunshine mix 4 I've been watering my plants by the weight of the pot. The soil surface is still moist but by no means soggy or wet. The plants were healthy and over a foot tall with multiple top, but still in veg. I haven't had any deficiency issues yet till now. Just yeasterday I gave them a dose of flower ferts because I'm switching them over to flower today. Over night signs of a Phousphorus def showed up. Three possible causes of the def could be pH(fine as far as I know from yesterday), Soggy soild, or an excess or iron or zinc. According to the ferts the flower fert has double the iron but less zinc, so that could be a possibility, or it could be the soggy soil. I want to give them a good flush now anyways and give them some time to bounce back before putting them into flower. But DO I FLUSH THEM NOW WHILE THE SOIL IS STILL WET, OR DO I WAIT TILL THE SURFACE DRIES?

I've been in that situation myself, with the wet soil but wanting to flush. If the plants are not wilting, leaves hanging down like the do when they have wet feet, I would go ahead and flush them real good.
I like your grow log, very well done. And that frog cracks me up! :rasta:

Ok guys big changes are happening and we are about to get back on track!
Well the plants in the veg room started to get too big and really needed some room to fill out. So I thought it would be a good idea to chop the flowering ones down. I really was getting too impatient and really wanted to finally get this show on the road. So I did it!
But wait, let's slow down and I'll tell you about the flowering one I chopped on sept 25th(see post above). Well here it is right after I chopped it...

And guess what! The Fuckers gave me over two onces! That's the largest harvest I'd had off of 1 or even 2 plants since I moved in.
So then that brings you to the latest slashing. Unfortunately all I can give you are pics of the plants right before we chopped them. And they are still in the drying box because I'm too lazy/busy to weigh it. And we've been smoking alot of it So I doubt I'll be able to get you an acurate weight.

So that ment my flower room was empty again. I riped everything out. Lights, ballasts, timers, fans, grates...
And we scrubbed and scrubbed that room, each time with new water and fresh cloths. I misted bleach in all my fans and every crack or crevice we couldn't get into, and everything that went back into the room was bleached too(DIE MITES! DIE!). We put in a better intake fan and replaced my 110cfm fan that was bringing the fresh air in. After the bleach did it's work for a few days we hung the ballasts and the lights. I put the 1000w MH bulb in there because my idiot brother put a socket end in where the light socket should be, then plugged the other end in which was attached to the socket. Of course when it came time for me to pick it up He didn't know where the "extension cord" was. And I just don't have enough wire to do anything with it till payday.

Plus it gave me a good excuse to move the vegging plants over so they could spread out a bit in veg before I switched them over. Not to mention I don't have to worry about stressing them out as much with us fucking with fans and lights and season changes around here.
Needless to say they have been very happy till today and you can refer to my most recent post prior to this.

It's hard to believe these are them, and hard to believe those were in this small of a space!
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/DSC02040.jpg
So with all that space in the veg room I was able to pull all the clones down off the shelf and the flouros and give them some good light. Keep in mind I switched all the rooms only three days ago.

And to think that those were these

You know what I noticed? It really doesn't look like I changed the grow room at all, lol. But hey I did.
So everyone is doing well except for my feakin' clones I've been taking. My brother once again told me "don't buy rockwool I have lots here for you, I'll give it to you when I'm done your aerocloner in a few days." But he can never find the rockwool and is never finished the cloner and we waste all that gas to go pick it up for nothing.
Anyways the clones are surviving and rooting slowly. I've lost a few to mould, and a few dried up at the tip of the stem. The Alcopolco(fuck I can never spell that word!)Gold clone is doing well And I'll be able to take two more healthy ones in a week or so before I kill her.
Oh and the frog I haven't seen him in a while, which isn't unusual, but this time it seems a little long. But I haven't exactly been looking hard. I'm crossing my fingers.
I have quite enjoyed putting this post togather for you!:jointsmile:
Well till next time
Peace Out
