Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Soil, coco, any of those......so out of my teeny little sphere......
Great job cm....those buds look heavenly and you can tell in the photos that they are just COVERED with trichs.
The yellowing and browning of your leaves......has it improved or changed since you started using less CalMag?
lookin good CM, as to ur soil uncertainty, dont sweat it.
soil is a LOT less maintenance than hydro.
its been around a looooooooooooooooooong time:D
and it sounds like ur doin just fine with it.
keep in mind, if things get screwy, it takes longer to fix, but will fix. dont panic:thumbsup:
Well I'm not so sure I agree with that. In fact, sorry Rock, but no, I don't. As for the more complex hydro systems, yes sure, absolutely. With my Emily's Garden DWC I put nutrients in when it runs low. Depends on how hungry they are, but usually that's every 3 or 4 days. That's it. Nothing else to do unless you want to supplement, but you could do that in dirt too. How often do you water your plants in soil? Maybe half as of often? I'd say that's worth it to get bigger, healthier, pest free, mold free, root bound free, disease free harvests. If you have a problem in dirt, good luck and have fun. If you have a problem in hydro, drain the res, let em suck water for a day or two, then feed again only properly this time. That almost always fixes the problem. Try doing that in dirt.Quote:

well, i wont try to get into a debate, cause i'm no expert, just goin on my experience and what i've seen/heard on hydro. but i know i went on a biz trip for 10days, had my roommate water once while i was gone and came home to a monsterous amount of growth.
all that measuring and testing, seems like alotta hubbub to me.
don't get me wrong, i enjoyed chemistry when i was in school, but, dirt just seems a lil simpler to me.
and maybe its just the fact that its a more 'natural' way of growin this nobel plant.
i got some personal peeves about 'chemicals' these days.
i do use organics,,,,with the exception of my foliar sprays.
I have to agree with Opie on this.....Scarlet Sky said it best when she went hydro.....it just doesn't make financial sense not to. Twice the harvest from the same lighting, time etc.....dirt just don't cut it no mo'. :wtf:
It's moot in her case though... don't even get me started.Quote:

Well-grown hydro can be up there with the best soil stuff. There are certified-organic nutrients meant for hydroponics, if you like the idea of no chemicals.
What exactly do you guys mean when you mention organic, or chemical free growing? Everything is a chemical at the atomic level, right?
I have a 400w HPS that I have used for both the one week of veg and the flowering phase.Quote:

oraganic has no synthetic or chemical components. i use fox farm, they use bat guano, and earthworm castings for N. not synthetic chemicals
cma, how far into flowering did the yellowing start?
Ah, so no man-made chemicals? Is there a reason to use organic chemicals over synthetic?
The yellowing started about 3-4 weeks into flowering. The bud leaves are green and the fan leaves are yellow.
Thats normal, its just using the energy from those leaves, and soon you'll have new ones in their place.
yeah man, the fan leaves are the first to start yellowing later in flowering, thats a good sign. tug it lightly, if its ready to come off it will, if its still in their good, leave it a lil longer. alot more will start lellowing closer to harvest. and i personally like organic better for taste and overall appearance. better cure, flavor, and high i think, but like rock said, i got a belly button too!...lol
So cm....what made you decide on the strain of your mom.....NL5 x Haze.....I ask because I've been toking on this variation of it that I grew. How do you like it and how long does it take to flower?
Well, I like it so far because it hasn't given me any troubles!
I hate to not be much help, but I chose it because at the club they only had NL5 x Haze, G13 x Sour Diesel x Purkle Urkle, Atomic Haze, Arctic Sun, and Delta 9. We didn't want to do an indica grow, so we didn't want Delta 9. We didn't want the indica feel that g13 pushes through that triple cross. We are growing Atomic Haze and Arctic Sun right now and we want variety so that left the NL5 x Haze.
The NL5 x Haze is a 8-10 week flowering cycle or so my club says. I'll tell you how I like it in a month or so :thumbsup:
What variation do you have exactly?
id love to try that arctic sun...herad alot about it. love me some Jack herer though...lol
I picked up an eighth of Super Jack for $50 as a little treat to myself when I picked up the mommy. The guys there rock! (yes, girls too WH :P) I asked how much a peanut butter cup was after we paid him and he gave us a couple! They were usually $6 so that was super nice of them. The last time I picked up clones from that club I got two free cookies as well :)
Super Jack is Sour Diesel and Jack Herer. Mmmmm....
:S5:
The Sour Northern Lights x Neville's Haze.....turned out to have a pretty good punch.....especially the capsules. I've noticed it can give me a case of the "noids" here and there so wondered how it affected others.
I will definitely let you know how it turns out :) With your help we will grow some quality herb in various strains over the next couple years or so :thumbsup:
mmmm diesel and jack... im anxious to see how this jack and bubbleberry will turn out.....
Here is some pictures of the babies today on the 54th day of flowering. Are those nanners growing on the fourth pic? It got me worried :(
Other than that, are those cloudy trichs? Do I need to whip out my microscope to be 100% sure?
Thanks!
Wait a minute! Yesterday's posts said day 46 or something......where did you get to day 54 already or did I miss something somewhere??
And I'm afraid those DO look like nanners to me.....kind of a funny shape but yes....did you use Reverse by any chance?
looks like some scrote...lol....thats how i got my cross....could be good luck:smokin:...other than that, they look quite tasty...good work
My god, those look delicious! Especially that middle picture! The mods could use that as one of their example pictures or something :) very nicely done! If my grow can get 1/100th of what yours is, I'll be very lucky! Congratulations!Quote:

Well, I started flowering on the 6th of December. Counting on google's calander, aren't I 54 days into flowering?
I haven't used any Reverse. I thought those were new bud leaves but they haven't developed over a week or so. Should I pull them off?
Thanks!
and ive never yielded 10 oz's from a soil grow either...Quote:

I SMOKE ALOT!!!!
and i need a yield to match it!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: had to represent
HYDRO!!!
REPRESENT!!!
cmasfca--
sorry dude,, i originally meant to post a big
GREAT JOB
its just that Stealth's post dissin hydro riled me up!
i need to :stoned: LOL!
but again......
GREAT JOB
The camera is a FinePix F20, some little digicam.
Thanks for the represent smokedoja :bigsmoke:
I wanted to start a grow log of my own. Do I need to have a certain number or posts or reputation before I can attach pictures? If not, how do I attach them?...I can't find where to when starting a new thread.
when posting.... click the "Go Advanced" buttonQuote:

here you can either upload pics directly from your PC, or if you have a photobucket account or something...you can upload them from a URL!
Hope that helps!
You also need 50 posts; so stick around :)
oops i didnt know that.... they must've changed the rules since the last time i was here
So I was looking at some bud leaves with my microscope and it appears that most if not all the trichomes are cloudy and I am seeing a couple amber ones. I am getting nervous about those nanners and I pulled off a couple of the drier looking ones and there is a light green powder inside.
The trichome clear/cloudy/amber percent is about 5/90/5. Now that I have determined that I am on my 54th day of flowering due to a calandar error made earlier...what would you guys suggest? I don't want any seeds yet but if it happens it happens. What would be the best course of action favoring potency / bud weight without seeds?
Thanks a bunch. There's another website that must use the exact same forum program, so I thought I knew how to do all the features of posting, but I second-guessed myself when I didn't see the "Advanced" button.Quote:

It's a bummer though, because I am having a problem with one of my plants...I think it's a nitrogen overload problem, but I'm not sure...I was hoping to get some opinions.
Hopefully I can get in 44 more posts in within the next few days so I can get some help. :)
CM,
sorry to take so long, i wish i saw this earlier.
yes, as u confirmed from green powder, they are nads.
now, i reeeeeeeeeeally hope, u didnt open them in ur grow area, also, u must de-funk urself before u re-enter the ladies area!
u are a walking pollen bomb.
now, i am concerned about age of ur bud and wetness, but, u should maybe use an eyedropper, or a very fine tuned (narrow spray pattern) sprayer and wet those nads so as to not spread the dust.
them REMOVE, carefully and completely.
i used a tweezer, once i clamped down hard, gave a good solid twist.
then take the offending balls out of the area and rinse down the sink.
and de-funk urself again.
the up side is, it sounds like u are nearly done, so u may be cutting before there is substantial damage.
i went thru this previously, and WH walked me thru it:D
Rock,
This one plant has more than I would feel comfortable taking off. Like, they are all over the plant! I thought they were new bud leaves at first. No other plants have them. Should I spray the pricks once a day or so to keep it wet and just leave it there until harvest? If I really need to remove all of those nanners I will, but there is definitely a LOT more than what was in that picture.
Before I removed a couple of the nanners I moistened my fingers and then pulled them off. Then I dipped them into a glass of water then opened them. So, I think I am ok as far as that goes. When I get the go ahead I will wet them and if need be pull them off.
Thanks for the help guys(gals)!
i went back and looked at pics again.
holy hell dude, pic 5 looks like a dam outbreak!
maybe clip the whole bud?
how far is this spread?
get another wide angle shot, lets see the whole plant.
im worried that spraying Reverse now will be a high chance for mold/or bud rot.
lets see what ur working with.
