Clones anyone? I topped the two on the left (again) because they were getting too big for their britches.

Wow,... so your only 7 weeks into a 9 week flower (As I understand common for WW)
My wife about started drooling at the pics of the buds next to the lighter!
Whatcha gonna do with the peppers!?? ;)
If I get time, I'll post some bud porn tomorrow and try to show off the trichomes. The peppers are for eating! My girlfriend likes to cook so I'm sure she'll find some recipes to put them in... some stir fry or maybe a Mexican dish.
Nice!Quote:

HAHA I am doing the same thing. My wife couldn't keep a plant alive if her life depended on it.Quote:

Good to know you guys are such caring mates. :hippy:
It's actually pretty funny, because the pepper is my girlfriend's. She watered it once I think..... once.
Canna, how is it that your day only has 21 hours in it? :wtf:
Anyways, I think I promised some more bud porn... so here are a few pictures just for fun! We are about 2 weeks away from harvest.

Well it's Wednesday, and you know what that means. Picture day!
I'm going to have to miss up to 3 days of the log. I'm leaving town for a Bachelor party.... so Friday, Saturday, and possibly Sunday, don't expect any pics. :(
Oh also, I had to move the clones into the flowering area because my little 8W T5 light died on me. I don't want the clones to go into veg, so I need to get a new light tomorrow.

very nice job man the work you put in will definately show when its harvest time.
Thanks! Posting a picture every day has been pretty difficult. I'm bummed that I won't get to see my girls for the next 3 days as I'll be out of town. Oh well, I'm sure they'll be fine.Quote:

hey man they are beautiful um i might be going indoors next year an id love to get the same lights ya got cna ya tell me where ya got them and abotu how much they cost if ya dont mind thanx :thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile:
The lamp is a Sun Blaze, 6 bulb, T5, 4 foot, high-output fixture. Each light 54watt and is rated at 5000 lumens which brings the total to 30,000 lumens and 324 watts when you combine all 6. The bulb color is 6500k (for veg), and 3000k (for flowering). I got it for $183 at my local hydro store. The price was $230 for what looked like the exact same lamp at two other hydro stores. This guy has a bigger inventory and is trying to undercut everyone. If you're near LAX I can give you the name of the store.
So, I'm back from my buddy's bachelor party. Here is the updated daily picture.
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9688/dsc00679x.jpg
Not a lot of change lately. Camara's main bud is getting fatter, and lots of the inner fan leaves that used to be huge are slowing dying.
Here they are today.
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/3997/dsc00680n.jpg
:cool: How do the tric's look?
I can only hope my girl looks that good when she's starting to show signs of the harvest window.:rastasmoke:
Today I watered with nutrients. I fear this will be the girls' last meal. From now on they're on a water diet, with possibly a little molasses.... and a slow, painful death. :(
So sad to have nurtured them for so long, only to watch them wither away.
As for the trichomes, they look amazing. If you look on page 10, I think I have some pretty awesome trich pics. I'll post more in a day or two when I've got time.
http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1336/dsc00681p.jpg
It is quite sad to see the ladies burn at the stake(bong w/e!), but once the buzz kicks in you will forget all about it! No really... You WILL forget!
Looking great man.
TehNooblet:pimp:
Thanks n00b. It's hard to believe that my first grow is coming to an end. I guess if it has to end, then at least the grow went well.
All three plants are starting to show signs of the leaves dying back. Scarlet has the most amber trichomes... probably about 7%. On the others, it's hard to find a single amber trich. I think I'll wait until harvest time to have a final photo shoot. Camara is still adding weight into her main cola. It's getting fairly fat. There are always a few leaves lying down in the dirt or on the closet floor when I go in there each night. The smell is very strong. I have the closet venting into the attic. The house smells fine unless I turn the heat on, and then the whole house smells like weed instantly.
I'm hoping that the effect is fairly heady and motivating when I finally do get a smoke. I tried some from the dispensary this weekend, and spent a good hour just cleaning the house. It was quite nice!

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8021/dsc00684bd.jpg
They look awesome. How are the cloudy trichs looking? They are going to give you the most head buzz, but I am sure you knew that. :D
Seeing your ladies like this makes me want to put the snow whites into flowering. lol
Did you wait until you saw sexual maturity before you flowered or did you just kinda do it when the time was right? I could probably look for it in your log, but I am kinda lazy right now... :D
TehNooblet:pimp:
It's hard to tell really. With a magnifying glass, many of them look pretty cloudy, with only a few amber. When I use that 60x microscope, everything just looks huge and it's hard to tell...
n00b, I didn't wait for the preflowers. I didn't have the room. I just flowered when I thought the time was right.
I'm going to have to get some new picture ideas. It's beginning to look like I'm posting the same picture everyday. The reason I do it is because I was to make a "flip book" at the end of the grow so that people can see the grow from start to finish.
http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/5852/dsc00691yb.jpg
I actually really like the "Flip Book" Idea! :thumbsup: It shows off the progress as the buds stretch and fatten up rather nicely! :jointsmile:
I hear your complaint about the 60x microscope, (I picked up a 60-100x today) everything looks HUGE and pretty much the same in the field of view. (the 100x is nice for getting details tho! ;) ( If you can keep your hand that steady! :eek: ))
That's probably the reason for the 30x magnification recommendation in the "Bible"
I usually just cut a tiny amount of bud off, set it on the counter and look at it then because I had the same problem with my 60x-100x...
TehNooblet:pimp:
Not a bad idea n00b. Heck, if I cut off enough, I could dry it and have an early smoke.

Not much time today. Going to see Ironman 2!
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/218/dsc00693ww.jpg
Looking good man. If you snip some off and try it I bet you are going to be surprised... When is harvest?
TehNooblet:pimp:
Surprised how n00b? I still don't know when harvest is. I can see the trichomes well enough to see that a lot of them are still clear, so harvest is still a ways off. The plant will tell me.
I figured it's time for a few pictures of what's going on with everything. Lets start with a family photo.
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9950/dsc00694aj.jpg
Next, we'll do Camara and her clone:
http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/7268/dsc00695r.jpg
Watson and her clone:
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9559/dsc00696bs.jpg
and Scarlet and her clone:
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1264/dsc00697ov.jpg
Next, a picture of the clones themselves. These clones have been abused. The old 8W light fell on them at least twice. They go for up to a week and a half without water sometimes. They've been topped twice because there isn't much room for them to grow in the small "room" I've created. They've never had nutrients. Right now the light for the "room" is on the floor next to them, so the only light they're getting is bouncing off of the top of the enclosure and back down to them. These girls are surviving in spite of me, not because of me.
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9854/dsc00699af.jpg
Now I wanted to show some of what the fan leaves are doing on the girls. For any noobs out there who haven't gotten this far along in their grow, here is what you'll see when you're getting closer to harvest. The plant is slowly sucking the nutrients out of the big fan leaves.

Finally, a pepper update. Cheyenne the cayenne pepper has already had 3 peppers stolen from her, but she keeps putting them out!
http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5889/dsc00698p.jpg
Oh, and I thought Ironman 2 was pretty awesome! :D
Well it's Monday, and you know what that means. Picture day!
http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/5906/dsc00712x.jpg
It seemed a little pointless to compare the big buds to a lighter since they've grown a bit, so for a size comparison I'm using a beer.

Does anyone notice the color and shape difference between Watson and Camara buds. To me, there is a pretty noticeable difference.
And a couple closeups

Just WOW!!!!! :thumbsup:
I need to Email that "Bud lite" Pic to one of my buddy's,... you don't mind do ya? I can just click and drag the image to my desktop then attach to and Email, not gonna source where I got it ;)
Go ahead man, it's fine. :thumbsup:
Great work. I signed up to thank you for posting this log, i got the impression you were getting pretty pissed with the site being tempramental and didn't wanna read and run as it were. :abduct:
Very interesting read, i am looking forward to the havest and seeing how much product you yield.
Thanks for posting
Great photos, Bub! :jointsmile:
Today is not a good day. I'm pretty sure Watson turned hermie on me. Bastard. I give you nothing but love for 95 days, and this is how you repay me!!!!!
Hey guys with lots of grows under your belt, I could use your help here. Please help me verify that this is what a hermie looks like, and then tell me what to do. Should I remove the hermie, and let the other two mature for the last week or two, or should I just cut em all down, or what?????

As I understand it,... carefully pull the "naners" off, then comb the rest of the plant carefully, for more,.... and if at all possible (probably not in a ScRog) Isolate the suspect plant.
Shit man this sux if the worst case is really happening! :(
I gotta defer to the Pros tho,... I'm FAR more a No0b at this stuff than you.
Well you got few options, Pull off the nenners an watch the plant closely for new nanners to appear. Expect a few seed if you leave it the hermie with the rest of your plant.
Cut the hermie,dry,cur, Enjoy while your other 2 plants finish. This way your other 2 ladies should be safe from seeds hopefully.
Some nanners are sterile but don't rely on that.
Imo I would cut the hermie, No point in having all plants end up seeded as to have 2 mature with 1 cut a little bit early, and you still save the one from seeding.:thumbsup:
~One~:rastasmoke:
~BudG~:rastasmoke::rastasmoke:
I'm not an expert on this...but, I'd say it's too late for any harm, seed pollination. Gotta expect this, with fem seeds...:cool:
pick the nanners off...harvest, when trich ready...IMO
My first grow...I harvested one third of the plants 'early'..one third 'prime time'..the last third...'late'...this told me what I liked best ...for the next grow...:thumbsup:...I like a little variety
Thank you guys for all the replies. This really does suck, but I guesss it isn't the end of the world. The options you've laid out are pretty much what I was expecting with the exception of Dutch's idea of doing nothing. Since we're only a week or so from harvest, I could probably just wait it out. I'll decide what to do tonight, but I don't know if I'll have time to do any cutting before this weekend.
think even if they got pollenated with real pollen at this point nothing would get done. I mean, everything is already mature, and it's a week away. Keep em I'd say, don't stress it in the last week.
I signed up because I read your log, and I ordered my seeds from Nirvana, and got a whole setup for a closet coming in soon, I did all my research and am confident in my ability to do this all correctly while noticing possible signs and all the possibilities that could go wrong.
I will start off by saying you are an inspiration to all the growers out there for putting so much time and dedication in to this. It definitely shows and I can almost guarantee it will pay off nonetheless, I noticed though yesterday I believe the post was, you noticed your plant turning hermie... well lesson be told, that can be cause by stress, trimming leaves, etc, which leads me to also believe that those browning spots you were seeing was the plants way of telling you that something isint right, my best guess would be to next time go a little less on the nutrients, and hold off or do a little less trimming in the future, I know there is no concrete way to know but from the signs and reading everything here that you've posted, it seems those may be the likely suspects as to why it is turning hermie. You cared well for those plants, and it definitely shows. I myself also will be growing WW, using a 600W HPS lamp setup, hydrometer to measure humidity and temp, and also a ph soil tester to stay within 6.2-6.7 ph range. As used by the pros will be using FF organic soil mix with some extra perlite.
Your log will be a great deal of help to me, that way I know to go easy on trimming and nutes, and progressively trim and add more nutes in small doses. I would like to say thanks on behalf of everyone on here, I will also be making a log for myself and will post daily as you did. Also using Panda film for the walls ceiling and floor, along with a fan for ventilation.
Again and I think I speak for everyone, thank you for this.
