hello everyone,

thought id share my experience thus far with a couple of females that seem to be coming along strong.

Soil grow ~

the pictures below show what is now -2- females in flower.
they just completed their third week of a 12/12 schedule
vegged under 20/4

the plant in the rear is a Satori:

it is currently 54 inches above the soil
it was approx 38 inches tall when flipped
was topped 3 different times - left to rest approx 2 weeks between toppings and also left to rest approx 2 weeks prior to initiating 12/12.
vegged for 8 weeks under 600 watts of metal halide, using an air cooled reflector that measures approximately 24x22 inches.
now under 600 watts of high pressure sodium
3.5 gallon growing container


the plant closest is an 8 mile high:

it is currently 48 inches above the soil
was approx 30 inches tall when flipped
this one has not been topped
vegged for 6 weeks / 600 watts
3.5 gallon container for her too

these pictures were taken 4 days ago.

thanks for looking :thumbsup:

a few additional pictures that are also a few days old

thanks again for looking

:thumbsup:

I'm a week into my first grow so don't know much yet....all I can say is that if those plants were mine I'd be strutting like a peacock....let us know how they smoke

thanks sawmiller

happy weekend

yes they look awsome, tell me you said that you vegfor six weeks why so long I am on three weeks veg getting ready to top so I can go into flowering soon:stoned:

These are Seed grown correct? :wtf:

They look freaking awesome! :thumbsup: :rastasmoke: Low node spacing, 9 leaflets, and truckloads of branches!


Let us know more about your setup, 600w HPS, I can see Panda for reflective,... but what's your temps and humidity, how do you control them, and all the rest of the dirty little secrets, like nutes/feeding schedule,... light distance, and size of area it's illuminating...

I want the dirt, (pardon the pun) on your grow so I can improve mine! :D :jointsmile:


<------- Newbish! :o :o :o

Hi guys , just joined, im 3 weeks into flowering on both plants , turned the cheese at 4ft high (as vegged outside for 2 months in what has been a good summer so far fo rthe uk) turned mayzar at same time at 18" high as was cloned cutting. Both healthy and flowering nice, deep lush dark green leaves. there are 17 branch offs on cheese as buds in lots of small clumps (kind of big buddah cheese), i feed both 1ltr per day with 3 to 5ml of bloom and 3 to 5ml topmax, compost soil mix (nutrulizes ph from tap water) so never have to check ph much.

Pics up soon

dude, maybe youd like to start your own thread?


lol

thank you,

the 8 mile high was vegged for 6 weeks and the plant in the back was vegged for 8 weeks. Approximately.

"Why so long" you ask? ? ? ? ?
Because I prefer to grow large plants and only 1-2 at a time.

It's incredible to see what one tiny seed becomes.

If your topping, I'd recommend that you allow 2 weeks of 'heal' time after your last topping before making the switch to flowering.

thanks again :)

i can see you know what you are doinq.. these are amazinq i thouqht mine were nice ill put sum pics of my biqqest one about a month aqo i went to qo water it today and forgot to take pics i wil take a new one in a few days as i only qo every 2 pr 3 days since there miles from my house

also to medicated da more veg time = more nuq so its wise to veg as lonq as you possibly can

since this is my first harvest and im broke i plan to do indoor qrowin once i qet on my feet with this years crop and i would love to know what your set up is as those are jus immaculate

thank you partner,

yes, they were grown from seed.

To answer your question about growing conditions, These two ladies are both under the same 600 watt hps, temps are lows at 69 degrees and highs no higher than 77.
panda film on the walls to aid in light reflection.
humidity remains an almost constant 50 % for flowering, was at about 60 % for veg.
I feed them the general organics line up, and also black strap molasses @ 1 tablespoon per gallon. I start the molasses in the second half of veg. and continue throughout flowering.

I try to keep the light at 12-18 between the plant and the lamp.

I DO NOT rotate my plants and I feel it aids in increasing their yield. Many references recommend turning or rotating plants 1/4 to 1/2 of a revolution per day to even out light exposure to the plants.
I believe that if a plant is never rotated, as if it was in the ground, weather you are using a light mover or not, the plants benefit from not having to
"reposition" themselves for maximum light absorption. The sun comes up (lamp comes on) and the leaves know right where the sun will be.
Just one of the things that I do consistently.

Their in an area that is about 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet tall.

Thanks again !

thank you for your kind words,

I think I answered the set up question on the previous post. I think we were both typing at the same time. :)

You have some very nice looking outdoor plants there!

Thanks again,

:)

Was wondering if anyone who has previously grown Mandala strains could share their opinion on their grow/harvest....

Anyone tried either the Satori or the 8 Mile High?

Thanks for sharing if you do.... :thumbsup:

Hello fellow gardeners,

Things are coming along nicely with the 2 females I have flowering.

Just started week 5 of 12/12 and the ladies are filling in nicely.

These pics were taken today.

Thanks for looking :thumbsup:

Just some more pictures

..........pics

....................

thanks again for looking and if anyone cares to share their personal experiences with either of these strains I'd love to hear what you have to say.

peace:jointsmile:

If you don't mind it would be awesome if you would let us know what the dried weight was from the harvest of the two plants.
