I recommend that you get a temperature gauge to put in your grow room.Quote:

I sampled some of the gods gift yesterday and the high i got from it was perfect so with much debate (with myself) i have harvested my beautiful ladies. I am really picky about the type of high it gives me so i felt it was better to harvest now rather then let them go all the way and have the couch lock affect. I dont have a scale so i dont know how much it all totaled to but i did take pictures. (will load them up a little later)
I had some plants outside that started to flower due to some shade that i wasnt expecting so i transfered them into the grow room and i am letting them finish flowering. In a few weeks when Swop has the clones ready i will be moving things around so i can veg those and still be able to flower the others.
Well i will be adding pictures in a little bit so stay tuned.
here are the pictures. Enjoy
I just realized that i didnt take any pics of the bag seed plant But the two gods gift are pictured below.
Nice! :thumbsup:
bet you cant wait to:jointsmile:

At least you have a solid plan.Quote:

Glad the harvest worked out for you guys, I know you've worked a long time at it!

I am far from being an expert, but I think they are a little early too. I was hoping to see them go longer because they looked about the same amount of development as my grow.
The main thing is, if you are happy, that is all that matters. :thumbsup:
Last nite after looking at the buds a little closer i realized that some of the bag seed had seed in it and pollen sacks had burst. So far i havent seen any seeds in the Gods Gift so that is good. I knew i had this gut feeling to harvest them now for a reason.
But now that i have a hermi issue i need to check the light cracks again maybe i missed one of a few?
Bag seed: Helps with my tummy pain and nausea but does nothing for my pain
The Gods Gift is good taste great smooth smoke and burn. The downfall for me is that it is a creeper and makes me sleepy. It helps with my Pain for about an hour and then i need to smoke more but normally i dont because i am to tierd and dont want to be even more tierd. Maybe this will be a good eve smoke and i will have to find a different strain for the day
As soon as the trimings dry i am going to make some oil and butter. Yay!! So excited to finally be able to cook with mj.
Well all i need to get up and move or i am gonna pass out on the keyboard. Thank you for stopping by

My friends that do seem to grow smaller plants, and say its quicker, but to me its just quick cause they start flowering them sooner than I do. I let them get bigger because i have the room. So I start mine flowering later, so that means they will finsh later. They end up much bigger than the drip plants and hydro plants, and the amount of bud is much more. Any other imput is appreciated. For some reason, I just like playing in the dirt. One of my first mentors was BOG...bogglegum, lifesaver, and so on. He grew and grows in dirt, so I figured that was the way to go.
Sounds like you have the experience at growing myself this will be my first growing any mmj. I have started a grow room setup and going 2 try my luck at it.It will be soil.Any advice will be appreciated.
Not a pro by any means,but you're welcome to hit me up if any questions are necessary.Quote:

Hey mama, how did your plant outside do compared to your first hydroponic grow indoors? is she still going.. or did you harvest her yet?Quote:

Well that one beautiful plant that was outdoors never was able to finish. My little man decided it was time to harvest my whole entire garden flowers and all and ripped everything out of the ground (this was a few months ago) and i tried to save everything and for a while that big beauty was doing ok but i dont think she could completely recover because she ended up dying.Quote:

My 2nd attempt went horrible everything died. I am making a trip to AHL today to get some stuff to get some seeds going. I will post pics and everything after i know they have taken to the setup and i know they are not going to up and die on me. I have come to the conclusion that for some reason i cant get clones to stay alive i do everything the same but all my clones died. Very aggravating i also gave up and tore everything down after i lost my last clone, but i am going to do everything the way i did it the first time and hopefully i will be successful. It has been an extremely stressful couple of months we are planning a move in march so i am hoping i can get something going soon so i can harvest right before we leave.
yeah those big buckets with the hydro tron, I just saw that if you have some hydro then might as well use it, hydro can be easy if you have already done it, what kind of EC and Ph meter do you have or do you just change you res every week? thats what usually scares people away the fact that their gonna need both and their expensive, and require solutions and cleaners etc.
I just saw that nice hood you need a fan and some 25 dollar insulated duct from Lowe's for it they now sell big clamps so no more duct tape. those can fans are too expensive, they now have a ac computer type fan that is amazing and wastes very little energy Ill post a link (if you order form china you can get one of these for 19 dollars but it is not wired so some more is needed), I totally recommend mounting this on their, not on the hood but on the intake duct somewhere. also it looks like you have a nice 6" on the hood just go 6"all the way not smaller.

for seeds to germ in the past I have used the paper towel method, or just putting a little moist soil in a bag will work too, mist the bag a little too. I also herd rapid rooters are great for seed germ I have never used them for germ (I can see how they would be good though cause you just throw the seed in there and time and gravity do the rest). In the past I cloned have cloned in rapid rooters, they are nice and easy, but most cloning I have done successfully were in rock wool, they even make a round plug made for cloning . It has a slit down the middle of the entire plug so you can get the clone in their and it seals well, but some string or garden wire is need to keep them closed. but all in all Mama I recommend watching this guys cloning videos he is the best cloner of cannabis on the plant as far as I have seen. but keep in mind you will not be able to keep mother plants like does so your process will be allot different, but allot will also be the same. take a look at the rapid rooters and the rock wool round clone plugs, for cloning, but importantly follow the way this guy takes cuttings, the way you put it in the rock wool cube will be different, especially if you uses a round plug type with the slit down the middle, which is what I recommend and remember to treat your rock wool for 24 hours at 5.5.
