Hardonna update...

[HARDDON]

her water comes from a small spring just outside my back door.

But you do adjust the pH to 6.5 - 6.8....right>

HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on 08-05-2005. Hardonna update... Figured I'd just throw up a pic each week of Harddona. Bag seed; 100w CFL's for veg; 18 hr. light; small fan; good potting soil, with no added nutes. Because I talk to her, she's already the strongest looking of 12 sisters. Rating: 5

It's a consistent 6.5. I do have to let it sit for hours to warm up; I've assumed the cold water would shock them.

Man those springs sacare me...

all kinds of algaes and mosquito larva and pesticide runoff.... how clean is this water????

Also, its a good idea to let your water warm in the sunlight for a while and get some natural radiation activity going.

Ahhh, you're freaking me out Harddon

Actually, we live in a protected watershed area. The State Parks Dpt. monitors, taps, and labels the potable sources for campers. That's what the guys in green uniforms tell me, anyway. Our spring comes from the same source that clears their tests.

I usually fill three 20 gallon containers at a time and keep them on my deck.

Thanks for the tips. I'll warm them in the sun.

Sorry if this is overkill, but I'm just amazed that a plant can nearly double it's mass in two days...and here are a few shots of some of her sisters that are also 16 days old:

[HARDDON]

Buddy you aint seen nothing yet....

Wait till days 21 thru days 28........

You will look back at these 16 days old pics and feel foolish for having taken such pride in the little things.

The best is yet to come

As far as overkill, never regret that...I would like to see daily updates....it is so good to have them to compare how and when and where things changed.

Whore turned out really buzzing good smoke but I am dissappointed in the 2.2 ounces I got from her.

After studying her DAILY birds eye view pics, I realize how I could have doubled that with tying down 4 different buds instead of the ones I did.

Besides, if no one wants to see your updates, they can allways change the channel.

This is going to be a great grow and I wouldnt mind watching every day of it....

Dont kill my bitch with that algae infested mosquito larva infested water either

LOL.......hey if you can drink it and live so can Harddonna

[9ski9]

Ha, k, thanks. BTW, knowing what you know now, when would you have first bent Whore and Cunt?

[9ski9]

Just a Day 18 update...starting to really smell awesome...

[weedracer119]

it looks like it's name is paying off. it looks good. hope it turns out to be female.

Ha, k, thanks. BTW, knowing what you know now, when would you have first bent Whore and Cunt?

Cunt was never bent...I think its rare you need to bend a sativa...

Whore was pure indica...

I bent and tied the lower growths when I should have tied the upper growths. I thought doing it to the lower ones would keep them alive and make them grow bigger....

But I should have focused the time on the largest and closet to the top ones and tied them down. By the time I did, it was too late the formation had taken place and anything I tied down jsut didn't keep up with the other stuff.

How long are you planning to veg her?

BTW....you got a nice grow there....she is as perfect as she can be
