You are growing some monsterplants yourself, beautifull.
I wish I had one this year, but next year better for me.
Let them grow.
Nice weekend.
Blowsterke.
This week I will send you the PPb seeds.
A picture from the Purple Pineberrie and revag an amnesia.
Hey Dutch how goes it:thumbsup:its been awhile since iv seen ya post. I like being outside and like being in nature so once a year a good outdoor i think is good for the soul.:hippy:. The bigger one are re vegged from the winter indoor, if you didn't read the thread. After seeing what Rusty does, i thought id try it out. Things are going well so far.Quote:

The rain gets my ferts down into the ground really well, so if i know its going to rain i always hit them all with ferts. But i can really tell the difference with very fast growth and have over 4 months for them to get bigger.Quote:

Yeah i think i read that in one of your posts, but there is a ton of growth just itching to grow down in the middle of the Edna and the NL. If any branches have issues it will be the Edna as it gets bigger each day, but the NL branches are not as hardy as of yet and want the most from it.Quote:

But i really want a good yield from the NL as its my favorite, just so great for pain.Quote:
Those branches will wind up with a lot of weight on them. If you get a hard rain watch out. The extra weight will peel the bigger branches off and put them on the ground.
I guess il add that to the ''to-do'' list. And will get one it soon. I could make it outta some good size tree branches to blend in a bit:jointsmile:
Thanks guy:rasta:
Yeah its me first re veg project:thumbsup:. After i saw Rusty's thread i was hooked on the method right away. The Edna and NL are the ones that need tied, but the skunk x nl is growing like a bushy vine, so if anything it could use a trellis. I think im going to try the box it in-around then go from there. I sorta expect med. size buds and not large colas, but i guess will see.Quote:

Not sure how the mods handle this, but it's likely best not to be so blatant.
I backed the bus up and posted the gulch plants again. Pics took yesterday, after you pointed out the error of my ways. Sorry for skipping around. I too, do not like watching half the movie, then the dish goes on the fritz. So I hear you. And fixed it.
Much Mahalo.
I know Rusty. I did not ask, mention or anything that would apply to the rules of the site. I never have or would. If you look around i never ask for a thing:thumbsup:But understand you concern.Quote:

I think i feel as tho i led people to believe they were much larger:(and now think they really arnt as big as i thought. Big, but not like huge like yours:thumbsup:. I guess bigger then im used to, but just think i put on that they were bigger i think. Hope i didn't miss lead anyone be my descriptions. But they do get bigger everyday:thumbsup:Quote:

1. Edna
2. Skunk x NL
3. NL
4. 5 gal plant
5. Growth on the Wit i rescued and looks so much better, a lot of new growth
:rasta:
Edna is a monster. If she were mine I'd be :D. And we have yet to get to the longest day of he year yet. She has yet to do the jump. I would bet money that she will get to 10 ft and puka one lb. She has a long way yet to grow.
Your others will get into the 8 ft range. Your girls will keep you in quality smoke well into 2011. IF you can bring them to harvest, there will be enough to keep you until next years crop is done. And that is all you can ask for.
And remember, you did all your early work inside. That's a lot harder than digging a hole, shoving them in, and forgeting about them like I do.
Forgot to ask. Are your crosses mostly Indica? I think skunk is. NL I am not familiar with.
Hey LSY they look great man about what time do you harvest your plants every year seein as your only a few states away i would think our times would be close i mean i no there are other things to account for like the strain if its sativa or indica est est but im just looking for a guesstimate lol :thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile: peace bro
Wow the biggest plant iv ever had was only about three an a half feet, that was grown in a flower tray. Iv never even seen one at 10'. Id have to some how tie it down if if got that tall too. And i smoke most often at night for the pain and to sleep, so might even last longer.Quote:

Im really not sure as they were gifted, but 4 outta 5 went female and the guys that bread them really know how to make seeds i understand. They are Skunk#1 and NL#5. The Skunk is a cross of the two, but the NL is true blue. They were a mixed batch, but iv had both before so i can tell the difference after the first harvest. But the NL is my fav smoke ever. Its sweet and smooth that hits the body very well, sorta like the Edna. I posted the genetic of the Edna last page or so.Quote:

Thanks for your input, if ya read the page, it wasn't been the best of days on the boards today:mad:, but ya cant control everything. Thing is, i still try,lol.
Well im hopping over to check out your recent post and thanks for that btw:cool:
:rasta:
Well good question Sticky, because i was really trying to get it all right last year and felt like i needed advise at each step, sorta like a new momma:wtf:. But i learned a lot with that grow, then through the winter not being able to get any place, i read and read here. I guess what i am saying is as this being your first grow is not to sweat things to much. I know its hard as i did it, but when the time comes, your yield really doesnt matter. In fact i gave away about a third of my grow, because it was sorta like, ''look what ''i'' created''. But soon ran out:wtf:, lol. So in the end it was all about the ups and downs, plus the people i met here on this site which pulled me outta this funk i was in from a bunch of health issues, which are no longer here. And learned enough to do whats happening now. So, basically you will learn from this and next year, sky is the limit bro:cool:. Oh and no matter the strain, you can flower any strain when it matures or before, but best matured. 12/12 will begin flower just about any time:thumbsup:Quote:

But last year as soon as i got good buds on one plant i took it, lol. Then waited a few weeks and took 2 more. I think i started taking them in Sep. and after they were dry i smoked some and gave away a bunch. I believe i was able to hold out till around the end of Sep. or Oct. to harvest my best one with the biggest yield. The funny thing would have to be that the stuff would couch lock ya for sure, but didn't flush them. So it tasted horrible, i mean really bad. Like ferts with milk and just munchin a bowl.
You will do fine man and just keep in mind that its your first grow so watch your plants to see how they grow. To me thats most important, cuz when there is an issue, you will say to yourself ''that doesnt look right'' and will be able to fix your problem, or have an idea to get there.
Hope this helps man as i know you will be happy with your yield:thumbsup:
Thanks for stopping bro:rasta:
Oh i forgot, ''Maxine'' got a new dress today. Il put it up sometime tomorrow:thumbsup:
:rasta:
Thanx man yeah i look at it that way im not to worried about how much ill get and if its gonna be some super fire buds or not. I mean i would like to get a lot and really good buds but im not expecting all that from my first grow. I just wanna get the growing a good healthy plant part down first then worry about maxing my yield and getting the most potent buds i can later. I know you get what ya put into a grow so im reading and taking it step by step and learning all i can so that next years grow will be better.Quote:

Well i said i would post ''Maxine'' so this is 23 hours after and shes perking up very well:thumbsup:. It was an interesting re pot as potted in a really bad container. I am used to just letting them dry out and slide em right out of the old and into new an improved bigger pot. But as it was chucked in a odd shape container i turned it upside down and shot water up into the roots to loosen and pulled it right out. A bit of stress, but doing ok, but not as well as i normally re pot as there should not be stress after i re pot.
Also im posting the Wit plant because it needs a re pot too. But needed to dry her out first and will show re pot. I want to show how better the Wit looks after a correct re pot. Iv found new growers are timid or think it will hurt their plant. Not true, done correctly.
Wit looks great from about 4th node up as it needed rescued from snails an leafhopper's. I watered it the other day and saw roots:wtf:, leaves had a bit of drip, but they are very heavy and over all healthy. But needs re pot and thought id show a before an after:) so tune in for re pot episode:jointsmile:
Oh and check out how in the ''Maxine'' shot, the Wit growing so fast as its bread to do towers over from behind. And only 3 weeks from rescue and over coming all the stress it endured with the bugs. With all the leaves just hanging on grew the plant into a healthy one. This plant is growing more different then any plant iv grown before. Better after re pot:thumbsup:
:rasta:
They look happy... will grow like crazy for you now. :dance:
Some leaf twisting of new growth and droopy. Could be bound, but first time in 5 gal so really don't think it could be filled up already. Last pick was taken 10min, before the others. Top growth just looks odd. Had i few yellow mid lower leaves, i took only for security purpose.
The soil in the pot was sitting out all year, so im thinking its been washed of its minerals. So def. issues P, Mg, Mb but just from looking at chart i collected. If so any remedy around the house. I have Epsom salt, never used it.
The 5 gal has rock mixed into the bottom as last year for better drainage. Pulled the male last year out of it, but put this plant in and was afraid id have issues. Just over did it this year, too many. Sloppy with a couple plants, but would like to save her, shes 3' now. If i need to put her in the ground im not sure i could do it.
Rained day before last pic, maybe its just using up the water and why it perked up after and is in some major wind. Trying to figure out a few twisted leaves, maybe 3 i found. And found single leaf finger here their. Not flowering?
Sorry major rush on this post. Thank you :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Peace:rasta:
Use care with keeping those black pots in direct sunlight. If weather is temperate no big deal. If hot, it'll cook the roots.
Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
Here are a couple i took today, you can see the twisted growth. Damn thing looks as tho its trying to flower maybe:wtf:. It gets 9 hours direct sun? I would have to go back to check the age of the plant, but im not sure that matters much anyway. But im sure its been in the 5 gal close to 2 months. Maybe its just the plant, but like i said the soil sat through winter so all minerals could have been washed out of the soil. I will read about Epsom and try an find the molasses, don't ask.
Thanks man:thumbsup:
:rasta:
Any chance the twisted one is getting it's dark period interrupted by an artificial light source somewhere?
No way, i learned that the first Hermy's i grew out and smoked, then learned they were Hermy's. Sorta just learning then and with reading didn't get that far. But not even possible, in less someone hit it with a flash light and if thats so i got way more problems then this one plant. But i understand your question.Quote:

Hey there LSY
Don't worry about the leaves. File that under the small shit happens category. In your first pic that leaf ball looks like a tent catipillar. Do me a favor and pull it open and see. Could be the pic though. Just kinda looks like one. If I am wrong it was the pic :thumbsup:
As for an occasional whorled leaf don't worry. It can be caused by many things. A bugbite on a very young leaf can cause it. It can also be a genetic glitch (though those tend to repeat themselves).
Either way, Relax. No threat to your plants.
Think BIG
:clap:Thanks man:thumbsup:with my mix of layered small rock in the soil, maybe its just not holding them long enough. I fed them a gallon the day before pic was taken, il shoot it more often as its been raining a lot also, which could wash em through.Quote:

Also could have been the heat as its was in the upper 80's for a month it seems. Plus the wind gets it pretty hard at times. And with all the rain iv had bug issues. That leaf you were talking about is empty as i can see in it, but could have been bitten by something and threw it into some funky growth. Just wanted to rule out something i had to act now or would have major issues. But seems like just nature, but thanks for coming in with your experience. If i can i may put it in the ground as it would do much better, if i can get help.Quote:

No catipillars is good. Over here we have a type of cat that burrows into the bud and eats the stem. A lot of them can make an all you can eat buffet of your girls in a week. So stay on top of 'em.
Hang in there and keep doing what you are doing. Everything looks great!
Just a pic show of the girls, Got ''Family'' plants 1, 2, and 3. And Maxine in her new dress:D
I will post the re veg next post. I gave nutes to ''family'' plants today and now they are at about 3'. Iv really been pushing the ferts as its been raining a lot here. They must have grown a foot just in the past 4-5 days and Maxine is looking like she's ready for a party with her leaves all out catching the nice Sun Shine:thumbsup:
:rasta:
Lookin' good bro:thumbsup:
And the re vegged plants with the 5gal. Iv been trying to keep the re vegged plants in order and if you have been fallowing the thread i think you should be able to pick em out anyway as the look so much different.
Edna, Skunk x NL, NL and the 5 gal plant with plans of digging a whole for her as she will give close to double yield. All the really good growth is at top and looks like she wants to go big:) But it seems the Edna is most commented about, but as you see the NL has caught up with her and after i spread them out the inner growth is going to explode. The Cross is growing like a bush and is really dark green. If anything the cross is getting bigger around, but still pulling up the 3rd spot. I started molasses with the re vegged plants and the bucket today. The bad storm we got the other day just knocked down a few tress which give 4 plants 2-3 hours of more direct sun light.:thumbsup:. And no snails, but some bugs, nothing thats hurting much:mad:
Thanks for stopping my friends:rasta:
That I do, had a bit of a slip up though... a episode of Tietze syndrome had me laid out flat for a few weeks, so most plants went out to hothouse to shiver through winter without much attention... they wont develop buds as such but they'll coat with resin, which I can then turn into hashish in the spring.Quote:

Well i like to change up what im smoking, or i get to used to it and it doesnt help me as much as it once did. I have wanted a green house since iv built me house, but i gotta get the cash figured out before thats going to happen. But, wow id sure be growing the veggies if i were you. I like growing just about anything. Plus it tastes so good:thumbsup:
Thanks for stooping in Sarah:rasta:
You know a greenhouse doesn't have to be that expensive... check ebay under greenhouses. Polycarbonate walls and aluminium framing... looking to put up my next 12'x8' for around $520 usd... delivered to the site.
Just remember that growing your own fruit and veg will ruin your tastebuds for commercial produce... just like growing your own bud.
All the best for the rest...
sara: jointsmile:
Thanks for stopping in and sorry to hear about the health issues Sarah, iv had my own so i get ya for sure, but that was last year. Better year im hoping.
Well i sorta made a ''how to'' thread, but the ex booted me before i could post it:wtf::mad:. But wanted to show a couple pics here of the re potted Wit plant. They both were re potted and look good.:thumbsup:. So i have a before pic, the root ball, then 2;45 hours after re pot.
Oh for got Maxine, she looks great and thinking about putting it in 12/12 as im out.:wtf:, i need to get a pic i guess, maybe il post her tonight as she looks incredible
But iv just been trying to keep up on the weeds and have stopped giving ferts to the re vegged plants so i dont get that taste like last year. So molasses and water till flowers start, then i have solubles for this to get my buds bigger. Just need them to be healthy so the bugs will leave them alone. May hit them if N is needed, but the others will get some, to get them to about 5' then they should be fine.
Its very hot so weeding needs to get done now, because later it will be to hot for me to be out there, but iv kept up on them for the most part. Just really need to do a bit each day to keep the bugs off and allow the plant and not the weeds to get watered:)
See Ya:rasta:
Well i wasn't comfortable the way the 5 gal plant was looking. It was so big it was hard for me to really figure out what the issue was. Well, its just big is all and was done with her container. She was very root bound and i had previously put rock at the bottom where the roots grow into. But made it an easy re pot. I had a friend put er on her side and told him to push and roll er back an forth. I was a bit worried, because a bad rain storm hit 45min before we started. Iv never stressed a plant on re pot, but thats the only thing i can say that about. Bonsai teaches you about roots. So anyway:wtf:it took a few rolls and him thinking he is really messing up the plant, she slide right out. The rocks i had put in the bottom helped i think, but not sure. Much easier then i thought. Then spread the rocks around for the snails to stay away as anything rough will keep them away.
Any way i put her in sideways:Di think its going to get really big and it will grow just as well if not better. One side was missing a few branches at the bottom so put that side down. I will start pulling the branches up from around the plant and maybe tie a few from the growth behind. Its in a great spot too as its with the re vegged plants.
Here is a pic with a couple of the re veg too. The NL is as big, but not wide as the Edna and the cross is working hard to catch up:cool:
Sideways
Skunk cross and in the distance the NL,im sitting by Edna when i took it. Im trying to get all 4 in one shot, il get it.
Skunk cross an Edna
See Ya:rasta:
looking good man keep it up :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I tied the Edna and the NL. I only did one branch each, but plan to tie another on each plant soon. I think its going to help both a bit, but have 4 months to grow so i really didn't have to, but why not add an oz. I also pulled up a few branches on the sideways plant. And always did a bit weeding. Its never ending, and with the weather not as hot, i need to get done what i can.
:rasta:
So i femmed 1st ''family'' plant, because its getting too big, without enough branch growth for my taste. Il never put one in that hole again as i had the same issue last year.
The ''family'' plant 2 looks great too as iv been hitting them hard with the 15-20-15 ferts. But this is only to get them up and outta the weeds as thats where the bugs are hanging out.
So this was the tough ''family'' plant to get up so far. She was another replacement plant as the one that occupied that hole went male, but its back a few pages and looks really bad. Now shes at least 2' and green and healthy. Oh an its ''family'' 3 plant, my bad
I have been pulling branches up from the sideways plant and moving the fans around. This way the sun will pull all the branches up, which they are already moving that way, just in the 2 days its been in the ground, but shes much happier now. Gave her a dose of Grow Big today as well.
I was wondering if i should put some chicken wire over her? Il look for my number one Scrog guy to see what he thinks, but would luv some input, even if ya wanna bash my skills:thumbsup:.
Oh and might add that if ya want to see ''Maxine'', iv moved her to the indoor section and the Wit plant too.
:rasta:
Iv got some major growth in the past few days so i thought id put up the ''family'' plants first. The Sun has been out and its stop raining so i think they are sucking up the Sun.
1. 1st ''family'' plant. I fimmed this plant a couple days ago, because the branch growth just wasn't there.
2. 2nd ''family'' plant. This one is bushy as heck man with lots of bud sites all over it.
3. 3rd ''family'' plant. If you see pics above, this plant was attacked really bad by bugs, but after iv been able to get her up, shes not been getting bitten as much.
4. 4th im calling ''sideways'' plant. You can see the branches start to perk up toward the sun and im not sure if i should put a screen over her or not:). But every plant seems like their healthy and looking good so far.
I will post a couple of the re veg after this post:thumbsup:
:rasta:
Here is a few other pics i took, just trying to get them all in one shot. I keep trying, but just cant get them in one shot. But the first two are the re vegged plants. I think the Edna got to much water with all that rain we got, but over all growing everyday. Also the NL is a bit taller then the Edna now as the Edna wants to bush out, but the NL is growing up with a smaller bush like growth.
The Skunk x NL is cool looking. Its a shrub now and just growing out like it started, no surprises with this one. But all the re veg plants have so many bud sits on them its crazy. The x alone gets more every couple days:cool:.
Oh and the Wit and Maxine is living some place else now. Just looked good and needed some buds now. So i flipped them a couple days ago, well it was the 28th and not bad looking so far. There was some stretch, but thats ok as iv got a big ass light in the lower parts of the plants and will have another on the other side soon. They put out 500 watts, but still cfl and 65k. But i used a mix spectrum last indoor and was very pleased with my harvest. Plus im going to pollinate the Wit for beans.
See Ya
You might have to put some supports out later this summer.
Good Job:thumbsup:
Hey Hemp my bro glad you could stop in man. People have been saying that, but its just hard to believe i would have such a plant that would need the support. Its really amazing how fast they are growing. The cross i think will stay short an bushy, but the Edna an NL will need something for sure at some point. I have a couple ideas, but not sure just where il need the support. The NL is getting as tall as my head, thats sitting tho, but still over or close to 4' now. The Edna is getting bigger around, more so then tall, but at least 3 1/2' now.Quote:
