Is there a lot of sativa in the artic sun? I've found sativas to be MUCH more picky about...well.....EVERYTHING really now that I think about it. Ive also just now gotten on a jab about roots after helping someone with a FREAKY problem we are just now getting to the bottom of. How about a pic of your roots cm? Root porn!!!

How do you get such nice close ups of those triches. Are you holding a camera up to a pocket microscope? If so how does that work when the lens of the camera is about 20 times bigger than the lens of the microscope? I thought I read how to do this years ago but I've never tried it.

That second picture sure makes it clear that there is some amber going on. Seems like I see a mixture of everything in there, so I'm guessing a week or two more for my tastes, which is about 10% amber. My AK-47 is ready in about 48 days. And it's normal for some plants to yellow more than others in flowering.

Weedhound,

Arctic Sun is a 60% sativa, 40% indica hybrid. The funny part is the 100% sativa, Atomic Haze, has no signs of yellowing; however they are more sensitive to warmer climates than the 60/40 it seems. I will take a picture of the roots tomorrow. They seem to have one or two main roots (tap?) that go into the reservoir and they are all together in almost a root mat at the bottom.

Opie,
The camera I use is a cheap 7megapixel digicam that my girlfriend got for christmas a couple years back. The lens on the camera is just big enough to get an almost perfect fit (or close to it). The hard part is balancing th two and letting the camera focus. I seem to have gotten good success using it

I am going to try and take a leaf from each plant in about a week and a half and really examine and count out how many ambers and such and get a %. I am wanting to harvest anytime from 10%-20%. I am picking up a clone tomorrow from the club and it is going to be a new mother (or least a good learning experience on caring for them).

I got this bag of coconut fiber and a bunch of other goodies that I picked up from one of my local hydro shops as I have decided to go with soil for my mother plant so that I can root prune and be able to get a good bonsai going on with LST. Hopefully she will be able to pump out 8 clones every 8 weeks, she shouldn't have a problem me thinks. Along with the coco fiber medium I picked up a 6400K full spectrum daylight 125 watts bulb which I hope will be enough for one or two mothers each in a 1 gallon bucket.

I'm high :jointsmile:

Root porn!

Day 42 of flowering.

They have a brown hue to them but I think that might be from the ProBloom.

Whaddya's think?

I'm heading into San Francisco today to pick out a nice looking mother

We're bringing the bong on the little road trip :jointsmile:

...My girlfriend is driving, don't worry :thumbsup:

I'll drive home:stoned:

[Weedhound]

If you're going to the dirty side of things.....I'm SO gone....

Those roots look great! A little brownish but mine always get like that too. I'm going to borrow your thread for a min to show someone what good roots look like.

You should try the capsule thing.....works GREAT imo.

[cmasfca]

If they have them at the club I'm going to today I will definetely pick some up. I am heading to Grass Roots and CannaMed Care today; both in San Francisco.

I am looking to pick up some top shelf medicine today as my manager is coming over to my house tomorrow and we are going to have a little session :thumbsup:

It's an awesome feeling to be used as an example about doing something right for once; I hope to make that a habit in the future :jointsmile:

The girls are at 1310 ppms and have drunk about 3-5 gallons, so that means they're thirsty I guess The ph is at 5.7, I raised it there from 5.5 this morning. Actually, I first lowered it to 5.3 accidently because I used down instead of up. Yes, it is hard to do that. No, at least I wasn't sober:joint1:

[Weedhound]

And you're replacing the water as they drink down right? Topping off is your key to keeping things balanced. Do that up until flush time and I think you'll be golden. :thumbsup:

We're a couple hours away from SF ourselves.....if it's really that much of a "cannabis mecca" we may have to drive down and spend the night and check things out at some point. Have fun. May have to get some tips from you later on where the interesting things to see can be found.

Dang it you guys. All this talk of just driving somewhere and picking out what clones you want is pissing me off. The clinics around here used to do that, then as soon as I got my card and got 2 clones the asshole government has to be like a damn pussy-ass weenie cry-baby shit-head mother-fucker, and tell me I am not allowed access to plants anymore, even though it's perfectly fine with them for me to smoke those plants. The same plants that God told me I can use. Where the fuck does someone get off telling me I can't do something that God told me I can?

[Opie Yutts]

I'm sorry, could you pick me up a couple while you're there? I'll be happy to drive the 2200 miles to get them.
