2nd and 3rd grows in Dirt what have i learned?

[deaner]

i have six beasts in veg, bout 6 weeks old, white widow, bubble gum, cheese, and a j-5 probably the last good potential mama of her line. lots of clones in waiting, no roots yet. was stopping water at the end of week 7 right for the cheese and speed queen? is 2 weeks of plain water about right, cuz i am expecting 65 days or so, and thats 16 days without the nutes.. is this good? i am wanting quality over quantity. and i have a beautiful satori thatll be 75 days or so, so whenb should she go to straight water? 2 weeks would be day 61, thats what im guessing, any thoughts?

i had an accident last night, my timer didnt go off and the lights stayed on about 2 and a half hours longer than usual. i had a weird feeling to go check em, and sure enough the lights stayed on. i got a lil guy that likes to follow me and he did something to the timer as i was working on my endless closet door/light leak curtain. i sure hope i dont see any lil yellow flowers..

a couple of hours for one night is nothing to worry about.
Those are some beautiful plants!

Deaner,

Very beautiful plants!!

So cheese is a real stinker. Wish I could grow some real pungent plants but in my situation I would be too paranoid for a month. So I try to stay with sweet smelling heavy hitter's.

One question, I know you are trying to emulate my growing technice, but I notice you are going to harvest in the 60 day range. Is this due to timing of rotation, they were exposed to a hermi plant, or just because you feel 8 weeks is the limit?

I am asking because I flower now for up to 11 to 12 weeks and go by trics. I start plain water at week 10, and harvest at the first sign of amber trics. The biggest thing I noticed in my grow is my plants seemed to go thru flower cycles that are very decieving to the novice grower. Meaning at around 8 weeks most of the flowers pistols turn red and cylex's swell. Then the plant will go into another flower cycle to try again to reproduce, and will do this up to 3 times. This is how I got some of the mind blowing size and weight out of my plants.

im hearin ya jg,im cuttin due to need fo' weed, and i got a lot of girls coming up behind her and eventually yes id like to show more patience, but i do think shes ready, so tommorow she goes into the dark for a few days, then the public hangin for bein too stinky in public. i got a lil sample piece already cut and drying for some sampling friday, itll be the best these ladies have ever smoked either way and hey- stoned girls are fun, and i dont mean in a take advantage way, but in a giggly happy i can giggle too sorta way.. dang im stoned and its time fer a nap and back to work i will tell ya if "they"think that by some way the good herb reduces productivity they should see my schedule! i will be hangin out for some long flowerings later like when the widow im cloning in 6 days goes into flower and becomes destined to greatness, oh shit freinds some of my girls in veg will be beasts and my bubble at 2 weeks into flower will be huge, shes a beast, just hope she aint too big, good night erbody. :stoned: oh and my veg box is pure green some are scary thick, i am a an lst fan fo' sho'! next group i expect much better yeilds and such, more time in veg is good folks. 8 weeks veg is where im aiming and 9 plants buddn under a 1000 watter soon, is this a good plan, is 1000 watts enought to hit 4 ounces per lady with 8 week veggins? soory i stone when i ramble.

cheese went into the dark. looking at the bud out of the hps light, it looks even better. i have a scope but i seriously have a hard time disserning the trychs color, the amber is a light yellowish/orange? ive seen that color but kinda transluscent, and the difference between clear and cloudy? i really struggle, holdin the bud still not trying to bang it up, and maybe my eyes are no good? luckily im bound to learn over time, albeit slowly im sure. i kinda go by the hairs to guesstimate, then my best figure on trychs, like if it looks 50/50 and i see a few amber, bamn its goin down. amber- like the thing john hammond has at the top of his cane in jurrasic park? the stuff they dig the skeeter out of? maybe its time to invest in a better scope and a hired hand, preferably hot and female, to hold my buds.. yeah my buds.. to keep em steady.

well the interest in this logs gone, but the grow continues.. i have added another flowerin room, called the showroom, all cfl and shorter plants, now it has a couple widows, 4 or 5 cheese, a few locals, will be 10 or 12 plant grow, keep em under 3 feet though. the big room has a couple widows, couple cheese, bubblegum, couple ah fuck it who cares. i wanna thank those who have helped me get a start, and end my log. may you never smoke your last bowl.
