This is what I've been wrestling withas well. But I've found my problems don't get better with less CalMAg.....5ml/gallon IS 300 ppms....I haven't found it improve my problems at all. That's why I'm swinging back the other way.......more CalMAg and less bloom nutes (as per my hydro guy) and so far it seems to be helping. The church and cc plant I have right now are really....cough, cough, quite flawless on the the 60/40 ratio. I'll try and post a pic later today.
PS...my hydro guy insists he likes the CalMAg at a 50/50 ratio with the base nutes all the way through the entire grow.......
god those buds are nice.....remember you thinking there were done awhile back? Look at them puppies now....:thumbsup:
I'll be very interested to see if this ratio of CalMag/bloom nutes helps your grow. Keep me updated.....;)
Oh, absolutely wonderful I'd say. Very frosty. Very smokable. I'm not saying they're ready, just very yummy-looking.Quote:

sugar coated goodies fo' sho'
Thank you everyone for you comments, they really made my day today :thumbsup:
The smell is something else. Kindof scary actually lol. With my bedroom (read: growroom) door closed I can smell the girls when I open my apartment door :D
My roommate doesn't mind as long as the house doesn't reek of weed; oops! Lol.
Fortunately they have been smelling for about a month now so neither of us really smell it anymore until I open my bedroom door.
It is GREAT waking up in the mornings and taking a big whiff of maryjane :D Hopefully sometime I will be able to wake up and instead of taking a whiff I will take a big rip :thumbsup:
EDIT: Today is day 39 of flowering
good call dude, she'll smack ya again:wtf:;):DQuote:

uncontrolled odors are 1 of the leading causes of nosey visitors
a DIY carbon scrubber for under $100 worth of parts.
Stealth is your friend.:cool:
Dude, make one of these. Check rep and email me if you need directions/parts list. Cost was less than 80 bucks. And worth every penny.Quote:

D-I-Y CARBON SCRUBBER, CLICK HERE:D
wally world was cheapest (even cheaper than the big pet outlets) for the carbon @ 5.70/ 9oz jar
i needed 5.5 jars,,,,,mine is 2 ft long, figured why bother trimming the fence, just make it bigger. longer filter equates to more available surface area for the carbon to do its job:smokin:
bigger IS better:wtf:
btw- i put my nose right up to this thing and CANNOT smell any MJ!:D
MVP and Rock, cool scrubbers. Now I wish I wouldn't have paid so much for my big professional one. Does anyone know if it's better to push or pull the air through the scrubber?
Rock, a little insulation between those rafters would save a bunch on electricity.
Opie I was taught that you always want to pull first, then push....you only get to push if you already have one pulling....:D
yeah, tell me about it.Quote:

Thanks, sounds about right. Who told you that? Was that the HVAC guy, darn it what was his name?Quote:

Today is day 41 of flowering. How many days should they flower again?
I took some more pictures of pretty trichomes and I saw some of them turning cloudy!
I really think that the yellowing of my 6 arctic sun girls is due to the flowering process. It is a very uniform yellow and my Arctic Haze has no yellowing at all. Their only complain is some heat stress from what I think is because of how close my light is.
Nevertheless, the girls are looking very yummy. I removed a small fan leaf from one of my sativa plants and this is what I saw :jointsmile:
What do you all think?
ur gettin there!:thumbsup:
be patient and wait for the trichs to show u its time;)
and just so u dont feel so bad, its week 15 (FIFTEEN) after about 8 or so weeks veg on the dam Thai clones.
yeah, thats about 23 weeks total, 1/2 a flippin year soon:wtf::wtf::wtf:
i almost think Galina will finish before them!:wtf:
Is there a lot of sativa in the artic sun? I've found sativas to be MUCH more picky about...well.....EVERYTHING really now that I think about it. Ive also just now gotten on a jab about roots after helping someone with a FREAKY problem we are just now getting to the bottom of. How about a pic of your roots cm? Root porn!!!
How do you get such nice close ups of those triches. Are you holding a camera up to a pocket microscope? If so how does that work when the lens of the camera is about 20 times bigger than the lens of the microscope? I thought I read how to do this years ago but I've never tried it.
That second picture sure makes it clear that there is some amber going on. Seems like I see a mixture of everything in there, so I'm guessing a week or two more for my tastes, which is about 10% amber. My AK-47 is ready in about 48 days. And it's normal for some plants to yellow more than others in flowering.
Weedhound,
Arctic Sun is a 60% sativa, 40% indica hybrid. The funny part is the 100% sativa, Atomic Haze, has no signs of yellowing; however they are more sensitive to warmer climates than the 60/40 it seems. I will take a picture of the roots tomorrow. They seem to have one or two main roots (tap?) that go into the reservoir and they are all together in almost a root mat at the bottom.
Opie,
The camera I use is a cheap 7megapixel digicam that my girlfriend got for christmas a couple years back. The lens on the camera is just big enough to get an almost perfect fit (or close to it). The hard part is balancing th two and letting the camera focus. I seem to have gotten good success using it :)
I am going to try and take a leaf from each plant in about a week and a half and really examine and count out how many ambers and such and get a %. I am wanting to harvest anytime from 10%-20%. I am picking up a clone tomorrow from the club and it is going to be a new mother (or least a good learning experience on caring for them).
I got this bag of coconut fiber and a bunch of other goodies that I picked up from one of my local hydro shops as I have decided to go with soil for my mother plant so that I can root prune and be able to get a good bonsai going on with LST. Hopefully she will be able to pump out 8 clones every 8 weeks, she shouldn't have a problem me thinks. Along with the coco fiber medium I picked up a 6400K full spectrum daylight 125 watts bulb which I hope will be enough for one or two mothers each in a 1 gallon bucket.
I'm high :jointsmile:
Root porn!
Day 42 of flowering.
They have a brown hue to them but I think that might be from the ProBloom.
Whaddya's think?
I'm heading into San Francisco today to pick out a nice looking mother :)
We're bringing the bong on the little road trip :jointsmile:
...My girlfriend is driving, don't worry :thumbsup:
I'll drive home:stoned:
If you're going to the dirty side of things.....I'm SO gone....:D
Those roots look great! A little brownish but mine always get like that too. I'm going to borrow your thread for a min to show someone what good roots look like. :)
You should try the capsule thing.....works GREAT imo. ;)
If they have them at the club I'm going to today I will definetely pick some up. I am heading to Grass Roots and CannaMed Care today; both in San Francisco.
I am looking to pick up some top shelf medicine today as my manager is coming over to my house tomorrow and we are going to have a little session :thumbsup:
It's an awesome feeling to be used as an example about doing something right for once; I hope to make that a habit in the future :jointsmile:
The girls are at 1310 ppms and have drunk about 3-5 gallons, so that means they're thirsty I guess ;) The ph is at 5.7, I raised it there from 5.5 this morning. Actually, I first lowered it to 5.3 accidently because I used down instead of up. Yes, it is hard to do that. No, at least I wasn't sober:joint1:
And you're replacing the water as they drink down right? Topping off is your key to keeping things balanced. ;) Do that up until flush time and I think you'll be golden. :thumbsup:
We're a couple hours away from SF ourselves.....if it's really that much of a "cannabis mecca" we may have to drive down and spend the night and check things out at some point. Have fun. :) May have to get some tips from you later on where the interesting things to see can be found.
Dang it you guys. All this talk of just driving somewhere and picking out what clones you want is pissing me off. The clinics around here used to do that, then as soon as I got my card and got 2 clones the asshole government has to be like a damn pussy-ass weenie cry-baby shit-head mother-fucker, and tell me I am not allowed access to plants anymore, even though it's perfectly fine with them for me to smoke those plants. The same plants that God told me I can use. Where the fuck does someone get off telling me I can't do something that God told me I can?
I'm sorry, could you pick me up a couple while you're there? I'll be happy to drive the 2200 miles to get them.
Opie, i'm with you.
I miss Cali.
i especially miss smokin outrageous nug every single day for 3 yrs.:(
GO DIRTY!!!!!! GO DIRTY!!!!!!!!! lol.....just messin weedhound...ive always been dirt, too old school i guess, heh

Stretching or growing? You should post those pictures in your grow log ;)
my bad cmasfca, weedhound let me know bout the pics thing:thumbsup: still figuring out this forum thing....lol
speaking of photos cm......hint hint......:)
You never have to ask twice! ;)
I just took these. They are in day 46 of flowering and I am counting down 10 more days until I even think of harvesting ;)
The sativas are feeling a bit warm now, nothing more I can do before harvest.
The hybrids have been yellow for a month, but have been showing bud growth during the yellowing. This makes me think they aren't deficient of anything enough to have caused a negative effect.
Other than those two issues the temperature is between 70F-80-F RH between 55%-65% ppms at 1460 ph 5.6 res temp 18C-25C.
EDIT: Look at the bud growth on the stem of that girl! That's my sativa haha.
Here are a couple more pictures. The first one is of a popcorn bud growing underneath the canopy by about 4 inches.
The second and third pictures are of my new mother to be; A F1 cross of NL5 x Haze.
How do they look? Is there anything painfully obvious I am doing wrong?
EDIT: The mother is planted with this coco fiber mix that has "tons of goodies in it" according to my local hydro guy.
From what I can tell it has some peat moss and white foamy rocks. I put about 2 inches of hydroton on the bottom of the pot, then filled up the pot, then put about 1-2 inches of hydroton on the top of the soil.
For watering, I watered about 2 gallons through it when the soil was first put into the pot. Then about 2 days later I watered it until there was some runoff from all the holes.
That brings us to today; am I doing it right? Lol I am completely lost with soil growing.
Thanks for the tips!
This grow looks great as hell.
and what kind of light UR useing for flowering?
mmm i love dirt!... the foamy rocks your talking about are perlite. its used to aerate the soil. what kind of soil are you using? sounds like your doing everything right. just make sure you have big enough holes on the bottom of your pots. dont want mildew or damp off. mommy looks good man! keep it up!
