Joe,
Don't worry about stress. Why do you think they call it Low Stress Training. I use bent coat hangers as stakes when I LST. It makes it easy and will not strangle the plant.

i havent posted in a while cause... i havent seen much growth. particularly in the flowers. i think i have a couple hermies. i pinched some male flowers off, about 5 or 6, and i see some seeds poking theyre way up. mostly on the bagseed though. whew. more bagseeds. whoo hoo...
thanks for the idea, jerry. pinning her to the ground with wire sounds alot simpler and less hassle. i might try that next round.
and this things not letting me post any pics or smiley stoney faces so, i guess next time. sorry.
fuk. STILL cant post pics. whatever.
im gonna harvest that WW clone in a week or so. maybe two. shes just slowing down spewing fworth her second set of pistils. 40 days into flower, but this is gonna be my first harvest, and, i kinda want it now.
on the veg side i think i have anywhere from 4-7 confirmed femalesout of my 7 plants. so thats good news. wish i could post some pics. these ladies are one month and one week old. again, wish i could post some pics. i cant even insert smilies. whatever....

thanks killa. yeah hopefully ill have a better idea of how to keep the hermies out next time around. i think it was either a light leak (fixed but still needs improvement,) or just a shitty femenized strain (it was a clone from a friend.) any way, the plant is 41 days into flower today, and i think im gonna harvest her at 54 days.
im growing somemore WWs and afghans (from AMS) and theyre looking very healthy. but i cant post pics still.i dunno why. oh and nice looking dog. i got one (a pit/lab) and he just got his cast off. after that, he just SHOT UP! hes still kinda small, but he grew alot.
alright heres the pics!
so heres the dog with his cast off. he grew alot. almost a year old.
these are all pics of the veg side of my closet. in here i got, 5 white widows, 2 afghans, my 4 clones (all took root) and my lst experiment (one of the WWs.) theyre a couple days old so ill post some new ones when i see some growth.
heres some pics frm the fower side.
first is some kinda mystery skunk. very smelly. greasy.
next is my white widow clone. im gonna harvest her soon. i snuck a bud the other day, dried it in the microwave, and then finished drying it behind the xbox. came out TASTY!!! and very stony as well. smelled sooo good, and after smoking it, i could taste it on my breath in the shower like, 10 minutes later. this was a hermied plant, but im happy. i havent caught any male flowers for like 2 weeks. some seeds on the lower buds though. oh well. 41 days into flower. ill wait till like 50-54.
third is my P3 bagseed experiment. 30 days into flower. im seein purple streaks on the calyxes, but not to much resin, nor much stink.
heres is my P2 bagseed. 11 days into flower.
and last, a group pic.:rastasmoke:
Beautiful man.
My widows are just starting to flower now so I always love a nice pic of a WW bud. :P
whatup everyone. just got the CF in the mail. its a 25"x5" Active Air filter weighting in at 16 lbs ($55 at hydroponics.net.) i also ordered the matching 4" flange, a 6" 235 cfm vortex powerfan (to assist with the existing 4",) 4" and 6" ducting.
first, i duct taped the flange to the filter. you can drill holes and add screws for added support, but tape was all i needed for this one cause there shouldnt be much stress on the inlet (of the filter.) the i positioned the filter in my "box" (im using a 26" rubbermaid container) making sure somethings' underneath the filter, supporting it about 1" off the ground. you dont want the filter just sitting on the ground. the more surface area, the better.
then i marked the 4" inlet (actually exhaust) where i will cut a hole for the filter. then into the garage, where i cut the 4"hole i marked off on the box using a hole saw. i also make a 6" hole about 3 inches away (for the pressurized intake.) after cleaning out all the crap, back into the grow room.
the third pic is the 2 holes im talking about above. also the filter is held in place with duct tape (dosent have to be rock solid. were not goiing off roading or anything.)
finally, (not really,) i attached a length of 4" ducting to the filter inlet, through the 4" hole i cut. i did this before the box was installed because this seal has to be right on tight. again, im just using duct tape.
no my "pressurized carbonation filtration device in a box" is ready to install (after we install the fan.):rasta:
*now (typo)
heres the filter all hooked up.
the intake is in the veg side--> reflector--->6" fan---> filter in a box--->4" fan---> outside finally!
first pic is the 6" fan installed right before teh box.
next is the box, right after the fan.
pics 3&4 are my crazy ventilation system. all hooked up and beefed up! i know it seems like kindof an overkill, but it works really good. there are alot of twists and turns in the ducting, but with 2 fans and plenty of slack (in the ducting,) no problem.
last is my 4" fan that exhausts all the filtered out of the room.
ahhh. one less thing to be paranoid about.:hippy:
