MOO!!:hippy:Hehehe

BTW Hound, I'd bet that if you cooked the 20g+10g into an oil (or butter) and made cookies it would double the effectiveness.

Basically the oil is the same process you use to make capsules. Pretty darn simple but a lot more efficient at extracting the "spacy goodness" as Flame puts it...

ok, you guys got me thinkin about scrog.

Thinkin Cap *ON*:wtf:

As promised earlier, here are the updated pictures of the girls in their true, unadulterated color. It was taken a little bit after 11pm on Sat night. You might notice that a few of the leaves in front look a bit ragged. That is from all of the tucking going on here.

Candidly, I am not nearly as gentle with the fan leaves now as when I started out. It takes me almost 2 hours to tuck and tie them so I am gentle with the bud sites but not the leaves. They are just now starting to show pistils at this point in time.... :woohoo:

Lookin good. I'm not gentle with my fan leaves either. Like you said it takes too much time, and I'm not going to spend even more babying the leaves. Just shove em in. If they can't handle it too bad. And they know if they complain they stand a chance of completely loosing their life.

Lookin great MVP :thumbsup:

I have read through your posts but am still curious as to the use of the second screen? So your budsites start at the bottom screen and grow through the top screen? Is the top screen just a tying off point for LST the buds as they grow?

Thanks for the clarification and I am beginning to be a bit more harsh on my girls in terms of poking leaves out of the way. My problem is that there are so many bud sites, whenever I poke a leaf out of the way of one bud, anywhere it goes it seems to cover up another bud! I have resigned to let my 600w HPS do it's job 21 inches away from the canopy and it seems like it has penetrating power, because I have some very frosty looking buds underneath the canopy.

Looking forward to your grow's future; keep up the great work

CM, for you my brother, no problem. I think I posted the same answer in Opie's LSTTT thread. Here is the quick explanation:

Lower screen is used during Veg and first 2-3 weeks of Flower to tuck under and weave (and at times to tie shoots LST style when they are too big to tuck and/or weave).

Upper screen is to use when Flower stretch begins to support weight of colas and keep them upright.

Last time I grew Black Domina the tops were so heavy they fell over and KO'ed other branches. I don't have the ability (very limited access/space) to tie tops up to ceiling, etc since I'm growing in a closet. Hence the upper screen for support. And to make me less paraniod of falling colas that cause premature harvesting.

Well, it is about time I gave an update and shared a couple of photos. The Dominas are finally starting to take shape as lovely little ladies. This set of pics shows the Before and After of my latest tucking exercise. I have a shitload of fan leaves covering bud sites, so I tucked leaves only to exposes the shoots to the lights. I also raised the 3x 23W CFLs that I have on each side of the grow to keep from burning their leaves.

Also, I did a res change on Sunday 1/20 - here are the nute details:

6 gal RO water = 12 PPM
+ 2 ml/gal Zone = 12 PPM
+ 8 ml/gal EJ Microblast = 152 PPM
+ 8 ml/gal CalMag = 547 PPM
+ 12 ml/gal Pure Blend Pro = 1112 PPM
+ 4 ml/gal Liquid Karma = 1195 PPM
+ 4 ml/gal Sweet = 1320 PPM
---------------------------------
Added to res, adjusted PH, topped with 1/2 gal RO.
Final Result = 5.8 PH, 1125 PPM, 3.8 gal in each res.

Any comments or input? Fire away!!
