Gen's grow

[latewood]

Hi Gen, I have been real busy. Looking good on the hydro , they do good under flouro's for veg. I tried the 8/16 and 2 to 3 days of straight dark at end. No real difference that I can say maybe for some others it works. Trichomes produce during the dark but you can tell that's not my problem. Friday will be the end of 6 weeks for me. Starting to crystal up good and look like they will produce more than the first. Oh hash can be just like weed good and bad. The stuff I grow now is better than hash on the vine. You will certainly see some of this Papaya. It's skunky at the end of the grow and then turns fruity when cured. Not much time keep up the good work, will show pic's when i get time. Got to go do one before the family gets home. Keep it in the bat zone Later.

I just grew some sexy orange skunk that was sweet at end of grow, turned skunky after cured...just the opposite.
Trippy shit too! good growing...

Gen, I'm sorry i dodn't visit earlier, just too much Bullshit @home(illness and court battles, intermittant contracts)
anyway, I wish I would of known you were having problems moving plant in and out every day...hmmm, crazy

You are right: consistancy in the atmosphere is just as important and should take priorities in cases like this...

Although I have gone back to 400w agrosun/MH for veg...
I vegged alot of plants especially my early cloning projects
with 45watt cfl's from walmart...8 bucks apiece. they worked great... no debate, don't care what lumens they were; They worked. As all here, knows; The key to using them or any other cfl...Is, keep'em close and keep the fans on them...It works...modern science. I Love it!

Looking good, glad you conquered your hydro, good luck...
later lw

Thanks late. You and Zandor are my heros.

Yes, the soil grow does fine going outside, but hydro. Forget it.

I'm using the 65 w fluorex from walmart. And they kick butt.

Hope you're feeling better and your problems get resolved favorably.

Looking at your last picture.. you harvested way too early in that picture. You had to wait untill 75% of the leafs are red/brown.

[latewood]

If you want to try you early bud...I read this in 5 easy gardens, cut it up into 1/2" pieces and microwave 20-30 seconds at a time...the 1st time you will see dampness...It usually takes 1-2 minutes, depending on how long they been drying...

On another note...If i run out, like I did before alst harvest, then I take a 6week old plant and harvest the whole thing, rather than shock 3-4 by hacking off stems...Jmho lw.

I just got my pocket microscope. I looked at the trichs and they really under developed. Just a few trichs on the bud leaves had mature trichs. It'll still get you stoned mildly. I just smoke more. Hey, it can only get better, right?

I threw out my microwave years ago. Bad waves. I use rice cookers for reheating. That's about all they were good for anyway.

Hi Gen
They might of been early but they look fat. I'm in week 7 of papaya and I got trich's they just need to fill in. I think they might like 9 to 10 weeks, will have to wait and see. The scope really helps but I can tell more when I take macro pic's with my camera. I will post some pic's when the light comes on in just a bit.
Hi latewood, Yea it's weird when it changes. Kind of threw me but then I was too stoned to care.
My papaya mother has come back to life, lots of cutting to take and 1 NL that I thought was dead revegged and is coming back out. I like NL but the orange bud and papaya kicks it's ass. Trich pic's in just a few coming up. Later.

hi loc, send me your snail mail address. I'm about two weeks from harvest.

Will do. I don't have a PO but my cancer buddy right now said he could get it, what are they going to do he said. I'm affaid he doesn't have much longer. He is going about as fast as my highschool smoking buddy did. I will get that to you looks like I might be with you or a week behind you ? The scope helps but tell me what you think, almost the end of week 7. This stuff rocks !!! Anyway here's some pic's. the last one are the young ones for next month. OHHH and the vaporizer, way to go I would like to try one cause I smoked cigs for 20 years I can't take a pipe any more.

Oh yea I just juiced them with the lucas formula at 1600PPm's that's over 2000 with all the additives. AND no leaf burn. I can barely keep humidity down below 40 with lights on and low 30's with light off, oh hell I smoke tooooo much that's why I always run out. When I can see straight I will get that addy out. You will have some in about 3 weeks too. There I go again. Later

That leaves look awesome. The stuff I picked only has 1 mature trich every 50 bumps. Not as many as yours. The trichs on the hairs are small and straight. I can't tell from the pics what the trichs on the hairs look like. What kind of lighting are you using? It gives the photos a unreal feel, trippy. So what's the highest you've gone with ppm's? Interesting.

You smoke too much. Ha, that's funny. Don't worry it's all good. Healthwise. A study came out of UCLA recently that could not link pot smoking and lung cancer. There may even be a protective effect from smoking pot. More research needs to be done on this. So how much do you smoke a day? I like my vaporizer, but I like smoking more.
