That's going to be one monster harvest, especially if it lasts 5 months in flowering.
I'd love to hear what the finally tally comes in at.

The girl look really nice, you've been doing a good job with her! The pistils seems to be really white and not a lot of orange, I guess she still have time to go... To be sure get a microscope 30-60x and check the trichomes, they should be cloudy and some amber.

what is esl lighting? please.

it's something new i guess Shov, heres a piece of an article i found on
google

"Just as the world is getting used the cool-glowing, coil-shaped Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs), Seattle-based Vu1 has come up with a whole new bulb technology that's even betterâ?¦ and greener. Instead of heating a filament like in an incandescent bulb, or sending a current through mercury vapor as in a fluorescent, Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) bulbs use accelerated electrons to stimulate the phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb, making the surface glow.

The result? Bulbs that give the same quality as incandescent lighting but use less energy. And unlike CFLs, no mercury is used (and later, thrown out). There's no pricing yet, but Vu1 says theyâ??ll be similar to CFLs â?? pricier than incandescents but not LED-pricier â?? when they debut in mid-2009.

Right now, Vu1 plans to focus on reflector bulbs, the recessed flood- and spotlights you might see in a small retail store, but the ESL technology allows the bulbs to be more flexible in shape. So you can have a classic bulb shape instead of a weird corkscrew-shaped CFL in your reading lamp, and still pat yourself on the head for being green. They can even mimic the shape of big commercial fluorescent tubes, currently being used to sap your will to live at work."

I'm hoping to yield quite a lot of quality bud out of her. Keep reading the log and you will, probably not soon, but eventually.


I did some groomin at the bottom and the core of the plant. It was so thick that it was constanly damp. There were almost black droopy leaves and some were really dark and dry. I took away punch of leaves and flowers. I dried the flowers and got 13g's of bud :thumbsup: and it's kicking pretty damn good for a low branch unfinished weed :jointsmile: so hopes are definitely up for the finished product.

Not much has changed in a week, other than the plants main colas got a bit taller. I decided to flush the medium, thought it might be good. A lot of redish fine sand came through.

Here is this weeks shot:

Hello everyone!

I havent been really active with this log but at least I can finish it with a smile on my face.:jointsmile: It took 5 months of sometimes nerve wrecking patience to get this through, but everyday worth it. Without a further explanation, the harvest in millions of colors:

1. Two days of darkness has ended and it's the time.
2-3 Close ups
4. Untied and out of the closet. Without any suppor she collapsed
5. Nice cola
