i cut a clone in week 6 flwr because i paniced over a rash of males.
that clone is still alive, and slowly coming around and will eventually be a fairly hearty mom, i hope.
Dude my fucking cat ate my Master Kush Seedling :mad: Right out of the hydro setup.
We spent yesterday catproofing the veg area. STRAWBERRRY :thumbsup: Haze is the next thing I will pop and it may be sooner than I planned...;)
Your ignored ones look good..:thumbsup:
How's the hydro babies?
i think his cat ate them
LOL!Quote:

leafs came out strong on 1., other is laggin a lil.
waited on water for 2 days cause plugs n area was still moist.
gave em ph'd (yes i remembered) water yesterday.
will wait til a lil more b4 i post in the hydro-log.
prolly sunday.;)
Hmmm.....not growing fast....sounds like they are too wet....damn that rockwool.....did you presoak it good?
if u ask me, he/she's trying to tell u something.Quote:

i'm guessing u'll love it, as long as the grow cycle isnt too long for ur patience.:wtf:Quote:

should be right up ur alley.:thumbsup:
its amazing, how ur simpest and most repeated advice ("leave them alone","stop stressing them"etc,etc), turns out to be remarkably effectiveQuote:

You sort of ARE a poster boy for "loving them" almost to death. Every time you popped back on with some sort of "improvement" I would cringe.....
And you know what's funny? I decided to try growing after watching a friend of mine grow outdoors and I had like one old seed.....put it in a pot and ignored it all summer (and yep....dirt from around the house) and she grew up to a couple of joints which I really thought was the bee knees . :D And since I was so successful at it the next summer I went for the big outdoor numbers...and ....well....you know. :wtf:
ooo, this theory doesnt sound great.Quote:

listen, the 'instructions' on presoaking, werent really 'instructions'. it just said you 'could' presoak, with ur nutes, right in the bag they were packaged in.
ive been trying to stay aware of how wet or not the plugs are.
im using them on a few things.
-the 2 SNLxNH seedlings in the hydro setup.
-the 2 ASH seedlings i planted into soil and planted the plugs (is that bad?)
-the 2 clone cuttings from Maria (one is rooting like crazy, the other a lil less)
i do notice, they stay moist longer, but i'm trying to compensate til the roots get beyond the plugs.
the dam write-up on these things did sound very positive:wtf:
is there a wooly expert we need to consult?
There was no instruction about pre-soaking them at the correct ph overnite?
i have come to realize that this is a true statement.:wtf:Quote:

i understand all the coincidences, but, i think it was just extraordinarily strange luck.
Perhaps, Mother Nature is simply testing you:wtf::D
or screwin with ur head,,,,for sick kicks:wtf:
nope, not at all.Quote:

find out if he has any wool-specific advice.
you recomend what? these 'rapid rooters'?
ill look around the website at the other place fairly nearby.
i'd like to try to stay to the simpler products, if i can.:cool:
Yes....i'm learning to clone with them (the rr's) but let me talk to THE BRAIN first. :D
ok, i can chill.
plenty to stay occupied with, just with what i have goin on.
u lemme kno.
thx:thumbsup:
send those logging guys from the History channel.
i was forced to raise the light 6 inches today.
they grew PAST and AROUND it.:wtf:
I may need some help here:jawdropper:
looks like Galina comes down within the next 5-10 days, about 3-5% ambers showin.
That scrog in front is looking delicious, Rock Steady. Is that also a blue russian?
WH, so is that what became of the Master Kush you started with the Redwoods? Nasty kitty! <G>
Shov
thanks for stoppin in, yeah Shovl, its like a communist party in that room!,Quote:

and the dramatic difference in Galina (front and center) and those TREES behind her?
Galina endured 2 toppings, LST and then the porta-Scrog.
Far too much stress as WH warned me, but i was out of control.:wtf:
the 3 trees??? topped once and basically ignored.:wtf:
i am this weeks idiot:wtf:
im figuring Galina will pull down around 30-40 g's.
those trees yeild are currently anybody's guess, we'll see in about 5 or 6 weeks.
and while im at it.
some close ups
and super close ups using a loup and the closeup
sorry for the hps yellowing
but, look at all them trichs, yummy:D
i have 10 more pix, 2 more posts.
entering week 13 tomorow, chopping this week fo'sho'
waitin on more ambers.
5 more, and the super closeups.
1 more post
enjoy:D
last set.
samples were heavy tokin, n knocked me around.
will be very happy when dried properly and cured.
they look great man really great:thumbsup:
CHOP-CHOP:chainsaw:
the sample mini-nugs i clipped last night were speed-dried for bioassay
1 small nug in da bowl made a happy camper, after a crappy day:D
so i decided she was coming down, RIGHT NOW:wtf:
as u may notice i have taken a few samples in the past 2 weeks.
wet weights as shown in pic
10g
26g
30g
23g
23g
and i prolly took about 10-15g (wet) in samples over past 2 weeks.
she'll b hangin around for a week:cool:
even at 25% of wet, i think im lookin around 30g:D
Oksana, Petra and Maria are having a freakin flower party!
Maria (front right) has been in flower exactly 4 weeks and is a flower-machine.
Oksana (left) and Petra (back right) are in day 18 of flower, 10 days behind Maria.
Maria and Oksana are 30 inches tall.
Petra is the over-achiever at 39 inches as of today.:jawdropper:
Of course, all coming from seed, genetics could be slightly favored one to another, but, this will be an interesting comparison of the growth cycle = yeild on the Blue Russian strain for me.
without any doubt whatsoever, this will set a personal best for me.
this is phenominal as far as i'm concerned.
one other interesting note-
i lifted Maria in the air, to look if any root was coming out the bottom,,,,,
there was 1 thick root which lead to a rootmass almost as big as a dollar bill laying in the drip tray in a lil puddle of runoff.
the roots were white and healthy as hell!!!:wtf:
i paniced and set it back down and walked out without a pic.
is this a problem??? should i do anything about it????????:wtf:
btw- the blueberry-mangokush mystery plant was a male, oh well.
Hey Rock, congrats for the harvest, nice work man...:thumbsup: and the Russians look real good, you will have a big yield soon....:hippy:
sorry can't rep ya..
they look great rock.
but i'd probly top that tollest one.and end up with 2 colas insted of just 1 cola.
I did that to 1 of my plants a few grows back and it worked out well. and when I toped that plant she stoped gettin so tall.
haha, i already topped all 3 during veg.
i decided this grow would be simplified dramatically.
i only topped once in veg and decided to mostly ignore them.
so, actually, all 3 plants will have 2 colas.
Maria's colas are developing fast and tight, this is part of my learning about this strain. if i remember correctly, WH said this is a 5week/5week strain when she grows it hydro.
Maria was in veg 4.5 weeks. and took 6 days for preflower.
Oksana and Petra were in veg for 6 weeks and took 2 days for preflower.
so, in actual "flowering" time, they are only seperated by 1 week.
in the big picture, thanks for the idea, but i am not chancing stressing her at all with a topping.
I can still raise the light another foot higher if i need to.
I already promised them i wouldnt molest them at all in this grow.
so, what do you think about THAT???:wtf:
Congrats man :thumbsup:
Nice grow man..Buds look awsome:jointsmile:
Looks good Rock, but don't top in Flower or it will extend the harvest time and diminish yield in my experience...
thanks gang
MVP, i agree, i have aggitated every grow, 'cept this one. i like the results so far and wont risk known stress factors.
it appears most of the growing-race might be over with.
they seem to be converting to flower-power.
this week i did water with Big Bloom and threw in a half-dose of Kool Bloom. they have been thirsty and drying the soil faster than i ever saw, but, they never got this tall either.
today's stats (somebody pinch me, i must be dreaming)
Maria 30 inch
Oksana 33 inch
Petra 39 inch.
the reason they are at even heights in the pics is because i put boxes under them to keep them even with the light and have adjusted as needed depending on their activity.
I do have a concern about the lower section of the plants and light penetration.
anyone think i should maybe throw a couple cfls in the bottom?
info:

SHIT where have I been? Those look GREAT! Who tied YOUR hands behind your back and away from the all the "helping"??
I AM going to hit you when I see you......:wtf:
Rock...you need to put that plant in a bigger pot........and maybe the others as well.
Yeah....they look gr8....:thumbsup:

i can now share the joy:D
Thanks WH:thumbsup:
used a grinder on a few micro nugs while trimmin lumber.
lit up, pic below;)
tastes nice, fresh, but nice.
roommate(hasnt smoked for 6 months) says its some of the sweetest-fruitiest he smelled in years,
burns nice
kinda creeps up
got pretty stony while snappin todays pics.
feelin very happy right now.
relaxed, and focused too
overall, very f'n pleazzzed:smokin:
thats my initial Galina smoke report.:cool:
so, about a z from a plant i topped twice, lst'd and scrogged?
what, 8+/- weeks veg and 12.5 wks flower.
thats not bad for an over-anxious rookie.
i'll take it.:cool:
well, that was then.Quote:
