CFL, third grow, bagseed from EXCELLENT bag (popcorn)

And if I offend you by "re-inventing the wheel" instead of doing whatever you tell me to do, then you have a thin skin.

I think that quote there is a little ironic.

Wow what a difference context makes. Sorry to have polluted your thread man.

Shake, sorry to have tried to bring you down to my level, whatever that level is.

Just trying to share some experience and knowledge, and rather than give answers right away, I normally try to make someone think them out for themselves. If this comes off as arrogant, well I guess you just can't please em all.

Best of luck.

Some things will just never change Shake. I swear, we should all just re-invent the wheel, apparently years of success amount to nothing anymore.

I should have just followed my instincts and stayed away from this one, but there was some confusing information in here that bothered me so I couldn't.

JD- Best of luck to you and all your named ladies and trannys and whatever else you may see on your journey to curing. I'm sorry I keep challenging everything, it's just my nature. I try to stick with facts and not speculations or hypotheses, so forgive me that.

I figured everyone on here was like me, in search of the BEST possible smoke they could have, but it would appear that some just want to show what they are doing and defend all of their missteps, which I suppose is cool too, just not one I should be involved in.

In what universe is your post NOT arrogant? In one post you imply that someone else agrees with you, which you have no idea whether or not Headshake agrees, you throw the "years of experience" card and dismay that it doesn't matter to me (Which I have no knowledge of other than from your bagseed grow in September and your mango growlog started in June. Not that I don't believe you, I do. You don't produce great herbs like that without experience. Even if that Sept. grow was your first Christmas tree lot, those two years of studying before putting a seed in the ground did wonders.)

Then you say there was something so confusing that despite all your best instincts to the contrary you felt a need to jump in and set it straight.

Next paragraph you wish me luck but then insult me. And the next paragraph is more insults along with some brags for your own high standards in weed and an appeal to others to side with you because hell, who's against BEST weed? Then, to top it all off, although you already mentioned that it was against your instincts to even jump on this topic, you say that you shouldn't be involved in this discussion which you claim is just someone trying to defend mistakes.

I think if you are going to jump on my grow log with this bullshit you owe it to me and everyone else reading this to quote what it was that was so confusing you just couldn't handle it, what mistakes I defended, and what help you tried to give that I didn't listen to or respect. I challenge you, and if you post again without either a straight apology no insults, or even veiled insults, or the quotes I'm asking for or a combination thereof I'm going to bring your jacking of my thread to the attention of the mods. If they don't punish you I think they will at least clip this whole bullshit out of my growlog.

What I won't do is post on your growlog that pinching the tops of colas is bad and it's just speculation and hypothesis, and you need square three-gallon pots instead of round so you can fit more of them in the same size space, because I think everyone on here wants the most production possible right, and then if you don't respond in the way I expect criticize you for not caring about all my experience and criticize other aspects of your grow. (And I don't intend to do that BTW. When you weigh the buds of the ones you top and compare to the ones you didn't top you will know if it works or not. I have no idea if it's good or bad. And with the shape of pots, having more plants would also mean that more of the foliage is shaded by other foliage, which would have a negative impact on yield. It may give an increase, the same, or a decrease.)

Again, we will settle this like adults so I welcome either a sincere apology, quotes to back up your position, or no response at all. I don't want to go pestering mods, I haven't had to do it yet (unless it was when I first joined and I forgot) and I don't want to.

Some people need to chill.

...W...O...W...they come out swinging in the third round with brutal blows to the head...

kaBOOM...nice buddy.

Ok, I guess I'm stuck with all the cruft in my log. Oh well.

I'm thinking it's about time to chop the first bud from this grow. It has had almost all cloudy trichs for quite a while now with no sign of amber. It seems to have quit growing at any noticeable pace and then fan leaves have been yellowing and falling off. I took some tiny samples from lower parts of the stem and they tasted good despite having been quick dried. I have another clone of Audrey III that I plan to veg for a while before putting in my flowering cab. Do you guys think I should start flushing now or just continue my regular routine for a while?

I am curious, will clones from the same plant finish in about the same timeframe regardless of how large they are when flowering is initiated?

Anyway, here's some bud porn:

They should, as they are EXACT copies (per-se) of the mother plant.

Cool, thanks Italiano, and thanks for the advice not to do LST in flowering. From now on it's veg only.

[Italiano715]

Also, were you asking about flushing your budding plants? I usually flush 3 weeks before harvest during flower. Two weeks for flushing and the last week for the pre-dry. Which means don't water your lady at all the last week before harvest.

Looking tasty by the way :thumbsup:

Cool, thanks Italiano, and thanks for the advice not to do LST in flowering. From now on it's veg only.

Early in veg you want to start lst. and stopping 2 weeks before flower is a good idea as well.
Really only leaves a week or two to lst depending on how long you veg, but it helps.
I tried to lst on my first grow, but I started too late, almost a week before flowering. BUT I was able to get multiple colas coming up and Iv used 4100kalvin and 2700kalvin clfs to provide "a better" light spectrum to induce growth and budding and shes looking ok.

Topping and FMing are also a good idea to look into when lst if you have a space problem.

I also wanted to add that its cool that you got your cuttings to root on 12/12. I currently attempted that, but messed up terribly by not using sterile equipment and I think I scarified to much, but other than that, things look great. Love the name of your plant btw.:thumbsup:
