i hear ya about so many plants, so many decisions. good luck with that. no matter what you decide it will still drive you mad! lol.

can't wait to see how big momma turns out!

good growing!

Hey there Shake, nice of you to stop in. Thanks for the comment, always apprecitated. I have cervantes grow bible and actually havnt read any in a while, lol, im too comfortable with my knowledge, what I remember from somewheres else was just that simple stresses can increase resin production. If found with the plants Iv grow so far that Bending branches and even breaking them very gently early and mid flower will help put on the crystal, Iv gone as far to proove this with my 2 Jack47s, Jack1 I did this on the main stem and on many side branches, gentle bending, gentle breaking, the other Jack 2 I did gentle bending no breaking. Jack1 has a very noticable amount of extra trichs than Jack2 that was only bent. Whats interesting here is that the plant, Jack 2 has fuller, id say larger buds than the more crystaly Jack 1. Im going to assume that the extra stress I applied on Jack1 slowed down her growth somewhat as Iv had very few small problems, they both grew pretty much exactly the same.

BTw I never enter the forum without first smoking a nice fat one, which is why I tend to write novels, sorry everyone.

My water. I use tap water. How my water works is pretty much as follows. In the early morning I will fill up about 10 2L pop bottles with 2cups of straight from the tap. I have 3 4L water jugs that I do the same but with 4 Cups of tap. Generally I will let that sit for a bit, if not until the next day where I will Brita Filter 2 cups again into each 2L bottle and another 4L into each 4L Jug.
Brita filters work great. They soften the water, lower the ph of the water and kills the chlorine. Doing this will get me 6.2-4 ph. When Im using nutes, as I cant get my hands on anything decent I use Schultz super bloom or something 10-50-10 and Ill use pure brita water 2L of it and my PH comes out being about 6.2-5.

The clones are looking very nice, I need to rearage a few, some branches are getting much bigger. Big Momma is tied down like a crazy woman in the corner of my cab literally. SHes been in there Id say a week and a little and white pistles are shooting out all over the place. SHake I agree I cant wait to see this 4 month Vegged plant flower up. Shes gonna be a beauty. Ill take some pics in a short bit and get em up, should just do it now but such a task with all they plants.

Oh and before I go. Just this morning I snipped a fresh piece of the L.A woman. I vaped maybe 5-6 puffs, started to feel the head high, then I rolled it up with a bit of my dry herbs and BOY o BOY, my brain feel tight, i can really feel any muscule movement in my head for sure. Very nice so far, another few days and a good 2 weeks of cure, this shit should be the bomb.
