HARDDON's FIRST SOG

[Heads4]

Harddon
You said you could keep the lights at 6 inches away from plants...

Are you doing this now??

Just wondering...the closer the light is at all times will lessen the stretching

Later

[HARDDON]

If you look at the pic on the left, you will see the tape measure...right now I am at 6"....on the nose.....

Besides I believe this is flower stretch, not just growth stretch....

In theory I want them to stretch as they should during flower...I just want a simple SOG without the height problems for once... LOL...

A couple of these are gonna produce more than just one main kola bud.....many have exposed canopy secondaries now as they too have shot up in size.

"Anyhow, during my thorough examinations, I came across this little fucker and handled business before it got outta control"

Those are thrips. I had 'em too HD. I used Concern and it worked perfectly. It's an insecticidal soap. The experts on such things that I spoke with suggested that these little pieces of crap (what I call them) are tough to get rid of as they get in the dirt and that's where they propagate. Turn into flying biting little monsters. They suggested at least 4 applications to make sure that you get them all.

Good evening...

FLOWER DAY 6

I have my first confirmed female

All plants are getting ready to show me their gentalia. It a few more days I shall know the outcome of the female to male % which I hope to have a 75% as a result of stress free living

I got a really cool pic where you can actually see the shadow the hairs cast on the stem

[HARDDON]

GOod evening...again

3 days ago I posted PIC 1 which shows the ruler at about 19" - 18" of space left, minus the 6 inches I need for this to work....

Today I post PIC 2 which shows where I am at now...17" less 6 inches for lights....11" left is all I have.

I should have flowered at day 14 instead of 21...LOL

[HARDDON]

It sure is cool sitting here smoking my own grow, chilling to Marley, wasting my life

Here are a couple of pics....

One shows how close I have the MH to the canopy to try and slow down the fricking growth..... I have it almost as close as the CFL's in veg....

I think its within 2 inches of the top. The light is doing great at penetrating becasue I have a remarable amount of secondary growth to my surprise.

But soon the light will have to be moved horizontal and then only the canopy will be the light and the lowers I expect will begin to yellow quickly in the next week.

In fact, I predict in 2 weeks I will have little more than stems and a main kola and maybe a few high fans.

Gonna look pretty ugly

[Marc Benson]

HD! What'd ya do about your thrips? You said you 'handled business before it got out of control' but never said what you did. Inquiring minds want to know!

[HARDDON]

Soap and water soap and water soap and water.

3X now.

And actually a few crossed over to another plant next to it.

Its a daily check thing now but I think I got em all.

Can't wait for the cooler weather so these fuckers leave me alone.
