Can't you feel it baby? LOL, I posted on your last grow and was silly. I had been bouncing back and forth...long story short, I like your last grow and quietly (up until now) enjoying this one. Why did you not LST this time? Faster product? :jointsmile: Bree
there are a few things i wouldnt mind feeling however.... :)
they are LST'ed otherwise they would have grown up and out the top knocking the glass and lights over, they are huge in person i did not think 2 cheese ball HPS lights would make such great big healthy plants but damn they are pretty.
and they better stop growing ill be forced to remove the glass and set the lamps on chains, which i dont want to do.
Looks good Invis. that new box seems to be working out good.
Nice to see you progressing in your grows. That last grow was
just lovely though, I still can't believe that was your first go at
growing.
Hi invision - you're always showing me the love, by dropping by my thread, so I thought I'd drop by here and see how you're doing. I know how you feel about people actually posting. Except for you and a few others, I've had low outside posts, but lots of reads. I figure people must be interested, or the read count wouldn't keep going up. Plus I keep telling myself, this is a cannabis community ... you gotta think there's some lack of motivation out there. I often try to post before getting high, else my post probably won't make it.
Anyway .... on to my question for you. As Bree asked, I thought you were using LST. I know you confirmed that you were - but I though that LST would help prevent the height problems you seem to be struggling with now. As others have pointed out, both of your grows appear to be from someone much more experienced than you. Great work!
Oh, and I finally noticed that reflector - looks like it used to be a child's room trash can. Interesting concept.
Good luck, and keep up the thread. Remember, it was probably threads like yours that got you into doing this. I know it was for me.
yup that is a trash can cut in half and one is polished and the other mylared to see what diffrence it makes- to me they are the same.
its not the top of the plant that shot out of control it was the side shoots that took off like rockets when i transplanted them into the 12" pots, its amazing how they grow so fast in few week.
its funny though as mentioned earlier this is my 2nd attempt at growing, i guess i took to gardening very well and this was nothing but easy to me, i have barely invested alot of time into these plants i just look at them and if things look great i leave them alone unless its to water.
another reason i have it easy is the water i use which is distilled combined with cal-mag plus, the PH is always 7.0 infact i havent used my PH meter except last night when i started them on 10-50-10 at 1/4 strength and had to bring the PH to 6.5.
yes buying water sucks, its cheap at 0.68 a gallon but my other choices like tap water sucks here, so whats a grower to do.
my GF is pushing me into a 400watt hps kit after this grow she thinks its amazing how easily i produce herb without any effort except watering, plus i think she just wants to smoke more....shes a pothead!
LST (dumb) question - can't you just tie down those side shoots as well? I know little about the technique, but I thought one of it's primary goals was to limit height of the plant. If it doesn't do it completely, then I might want to look into scrog (that screen thing), since that appears to be pretty effective at limiting height.
I tried using the distilled water. Picking it up constantly got old. Then, I moved, and the water where I live now was actually pretty good. I believe it has a ppm of 150-160, and pH around 7. I usually try to lower the pH to about 5.5-6. I believe it was about .99/gallon for me. That's about $6 each reservoir change. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't smoke, so I have to keep an eye on costs. Last check, I think I was close to about $1500 outlay so far. That's great that your GF smokes. I wish I could get my wife to at least try it. However, I should be careful what I wish for - that could put increased demand on an already short supply.
yup i hear ya on that, when we first met she hated herb and took a few years for her to try it and the first time she got high she was hooked, she loooooves to smoke herb its awesome.
i cant tie the side shoots i just dont have room anymore but it think they have stopped growing.
oh wow. thats sweet. im on day 10 now. day 4 with the 1000 watt! im a newbie, so i dont know if i got females, i see pistols, and they were feminzied seeds from dutch passion. but i really dont know. one two, i belive i see a cola starting. ill keep ya updated. keep the pics coming of yours!Quote:

the clone has grew a net set of leaves, everyone seemed to take the feeding well.
:D
Your clone looks really great!
Without the glass it looks like it might be a bit hot. You could tie them up a bit more or something if you don't have room to raise the light.
-c :jointsmile:
i got the lamp raised about 4 more inches so its not so bad anymore but the feeding made them grow another inch over night and some tops where flat pancakes lol.
its 84F canuck i got a temp gauge just for you, its a bit hot but doable for the moment as long as it stays there, ill figure it all out very soon.
84 is ok if the plants look ok, and they look awesome! cannabis can take up to 90 for short periods of time, 1/2 - 1 hour or so I think. that depends on the strain a lot too though.
right under my cool tube the thermometer reads 32-34 C (89-93 F) most of the time, sometimes less and sometimes more, especially when the door is open. but if you put your hand there you can tell it's not that hot where the plants are. anyway it is probably near 30 C (86 F) where the tops of the plants are and they look ok so I am not freaking out. I will get a fan when I can, but I say if the plants look ok then I won't sweat it if I have done my best!
I think greg green said that root temperature is most important, and that is just fine so yeah...
-c :jointsmile:
took a look 10min before lights went out amd they looked fine but the temp rose into the 90's which i dont like at all, so.......
im going to just do what i should have and raise the glass up to the lights and jus continue the way it was just raised up higher, damn plants.....
the clone looks freaking greatshe grew about another inch and new sets of leaves are coming in nicely.
break those bitches necks:S5:
hey inivision, sorry to hear about the high temp. i had that prob early, i didnt open my door in the morning when the light came on and it got to 97! fried alot of leafs, that was back in the 2 weeks of veg. but its all good now, i got a night temp of 65 and i have a temp of 74 degrees with the 1000 watt light on. its 74 degrees around the top of the plants and 70ish in the room
well i really cant use the glass anymore due to hieght, so the only thing i could do is use fans to blow right onto the bulbs to dispense the heat, other than that they looks fantastic without the glass.
pics will follow i just need to get them off the camera soon.
yup dope this kinda sucks but i think ill survive it im in the home stretch now i cant let this beat me.
With a fan blowing on the lights or between the plants and the lights I'm sure they're fine man.
here the pics as promised:greenthumb:
omg those are gettin big. i measured mine today, im at 19". started with 2 13s and a 15
still going strong 3 weeks flower :jointsmile:
I like how we both have little girls in the flower cab with the bigger girls. Gives them someone to look up to. :)
Your ladies look great invision. Beautiful macro shot too.
-c :jointsmile:
thanks
it is so cramped in there i can only place them back the same way or all hell breaks loose, i snapped off a top fan leave by mistake ooops.
i took off a couple lower shoots that would have never made it up too, alot of people seem to believe these are sativa type plants, which i believe has a longer flower period, look like i need a microscope soon.
Here's some LOVE:
When I clicked on your pic and they blew up while loading...your LEAVES looked very sugar coated!!! Nice GROW :jointsmile: Bree
ive noticed as well they are starting to frost up rather nicely so soon, hopefully i can get some sweet leaf hash when i harvest or cook with it somehow.
they look great when taking out the cab, is it me or does everyones plants look like crap under the HPS or is it just my eyes?
I think I have gotten used to it. I've seen hundreds of pics that were taken under it by now and I think my brain just kind of infers what they looks like under normal lights.
I have such shitty lighting in my place that I can't even get a decent pic except under the HPS! Ha ha.
ok enough is enough, they refuse to stop growing and grew 1" from the bulb making a slight burn(not much at all) to the top leaves, i had no choice but to somehow get that glass back in which i did :rastasmoke:
anyone ever see Little Shop Of Horrors???
thats how i feel walking by these monsters like they are going to bust out the door and grab me and suck me inside........pics pics and spread your love my way i need it :S5:
they do look monstorous i woul definately tie them down or up.or you coulod break some necks.but they can be controlled
invision. today is the 14th day of flower for me. as a newbie i dont know if i have females. im am going to try and snap some pics....but ill explain for now. i have what appears to be bud sites going on at the very top and all over the rest of the plant. I also have alot of white pistols. I dont see any balls like Ive seen on males, so I am thinking I got 3/3 female..but really do not know!
another thing, how tall are they now? :S5:
whats up dope,
they are at 3 feet tall now maybe a little more from the base of the plant to its highest cola they are HUGE...........
i flowered them when they were all about 10-12inches tall i didnt expect them to grow so much, infact they havent stopped yet but i cant imagine they will gain anymore hieght.
look at your main cola's they tell sex first, you may have to move some leaves to the side to really look in the nodes but you cant miss them if they are there, males will have multiple bananna's next to each other like clusters.
smokin dope, does it look like buds are forming?? By day 15 i have pinky sized buds.
I will take a look in a bit, and figure out whats up. But I think I may have all females. Anyways, 3 ft wow. and your at just over 3 weeks? Im at 2 weeks today, and my tallest is 21". Im hoping to follow in your steps, as your about a week ahead of me, I use your pics and posts to reference mine every day im on here reading and examining pics :cool:
hey dusto, yes, buds is what i see. also pinky sized, well the top cola's anyway. i have probaly 20 bud sites per plant, i lst'd mine for the first 3 weeks of veg, then i let them come back up to regular, but the main stems are funky lookin shape wise haha. i veg's for 50 days with 2 flouresants. i put flower 2 weeks ago with 1000 hps light. :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke:Quote:

well i just went and examined again, its so hard to tell. i mean on all the plants, it apperas to be a cola, but i think i can see what you mean by cluters/bananas.
but then again, i have pistols. does a male have pistols?
i've never encountered a male as ive only worked from clone. have you looked at some pics of some male plants, do yous resemble them?
ive been looking at male pics the past half hour and no it doesnt look like them at all. i am going to snap my own pics tomorrow and make a post.
yeah dude, do that and for sure you'll get some good advice. Pic are worth a billion words...we mayb not a billion but alot.
