Whats the thin dangling wire behind that Quarter Pound (114 grams for people from normal countries) bud pic?

[babystarbud]

that just the probe bit from one of my thermometers, i use 3 or 4 and move them around a bit, two probe type ones ( they are actually aquarium thermo's but they have a switch o them for water temp/air temp ) and two regular ones

babystarbud, i've been lurking in this one since the beginning, don't think i've posted anything in it yet, though. BEAUTIFUL PLANTS!

[OldGrowerDude]

It's looking like this x10 because they are just unbelievably huge.

And that is a Skywalker picture above by the way . I can't wait to see how your planties finish up BabyStarBud your killing me with suspense! Mine are not even showing the females yet and I'm checking obsessively Well I guess I might have spotted a male or two so they are close to showing. The sooner the better so I can toss them into some 5 gal grow bags for another week or two of fast veg.

looking good oldgrowerdude

thanks jedi hash, use the dark side of the force!:vader1:

some new pics today, i finaly managed to pry my mates 6 magapixel cam from his clamy mits, what a difference a good camera makes!!!

check the trichomes out, after these pics were taken ive mixed in these new nutes, lets see how they go...

[babystarbud]

well ive put the new nutes in the pots now,
ive worked out that one scoop (1dose) of the previous fert ( 12-25-25 )
is equivelant to a round teaspoon, so by that measurement,

ive used a heaped teaspoon of 0-17-0...should be equivelant to 0-20ish-0

and half a teaspoon of 0-0-49, which should be equvelant to 0-0-25ish

per plant.

i just hope the nutes are available to the plant immediatley, as its the kind of nute that you would mix in to the soil before planting according to the instructions...

the nutes do settle aswell, they dont really disolve, so each feeding of 1 litre will be followed by another plain litre once the origeonal water has drained.

Totally worth the wait on those pictures, very very impressive. I never would have imagined you could get a crop like that, from seed, off a 400 watt light on your second grow . I keep trying to take close ups of buds but either my 5 mega pixel camera is no good or Im doing something wrong because your close ups are astounding and mine are coming out blurry (I dont have a camera with lenses that can switch or anything so that could be my problem).

As far as those nutes go they wont work as well not being mixed in from start, but they will work better than the N filled stuff you were pumping them with as your grow finishes up I can assure you (I like the plan you came up with).

They don't really look like blueberry plants, and they dont look like Mazar they look like a mix (what a suprise). Do they at least smell like blueberry? For a strain that costs a days wage for the 10 seed pack, I'm expecting some top notch Quality tasting smoke. I have no clue as to how you have not smoked a sample of that yet I would have already gotten fully baked (but I'm highly impatient ).

P.S. Watch TerrorStorm on Google video catch ya later!

day 79 ( flower day 29)

thenks im quite surprised at the quality of the buds myself....they are not huge or anything...but perfectly formed mind you it takes me almost an hours work to pay for 1 seed, so they had better be bloody good!!!

i have read elsewhere that skywalkers arnt the biggest yielders, but are a very good quality smoke, which is what im after really, ive only ever smoked blueberry in amsterdam, and found it to be to strong for my tastes, and not a particulary paletable smoke.....maybe it was just the unfamilliar surroundings that prevented me from full enjoyment i dunno....but saying that im not a massive smoker anyway, half a joint is normaly the most ill ever smoke in one sitting if its strong weed...my mind gets too bent if i smoke to much lol

it was tricky taking the close ups....i found it was better to move the camera in close rather than zoom in....it wouldnt focus proprely if i use the zoom. i also have to hold my breath to prevent blur from my own movement and rest my arms/shoulders against somthing to prevent movement also...even then only about 1 in 3 pics came out ok, i guess thats the beauty of a digital cam..no worriies about wasting film lol i probably take about 20 pics for every 5 i post and just select the best ones.

the cam im using only has 2 quality settings, normal and fine, i used the fine setting.

im still a bit concerned about the nutes not penetrating the soil properly..time will tell

the smell his hard to pin down, they seem to smell stronger some days...and the smell seems to be evolving...at the mo they kinda smell like sweet pine with a hint of spice....they deffo smell very good.

ive been ble to resist because my first grow i chopped one plant early but it was a bit of a let down, and plus there always a bit of somthing or other floating around anyways, so its been quite easy to resist temptation. although i am getting more anxious to try some as time goes on...im gonna let these run the full course and harvest a little late maybe
