Thanks to just about everybody on this page, I have avoided some problems. I cant say "Thank You" enough for all your guys help. I am so glad there is a place to discuss this topic openly. That Air cooler sounds pretty cool. Sounds like it might work for dry ice and c02 and what not? I have been thinking about dry ice but seems very impractical and timely

Hahah thanks to everyone for their input on my situation ;)
Like Blunder said.. Really awesome of you guys to chip in.. Growers unite!

Dry ICE would have been an awesome solution to this problem I'm certain.. Would have been a boost in CO2 and a significant drop in temps. and increase in RH.
Problem solved! But could of would of should of..

Anyways last night I went to the Matisyahu concert in Amsterdam..
It was fucking unbelievable guys.. if they should ever perform where you're at... don't miss it!!! (and smoke alot!!! before and during the concert if you can). ;)
I was smoking some killer Super Silver Haze.. Still my favorite strain of all time..
it and Quaze..

I was just checking my plants for pests and came across some maggots again like I did some weeks ago on one of the Northern Lights I had to eliminate..

Again they're only on the NL's.. can't seem to understand why they'd skip across the whole SOG to jump on my NL..
Anyways I'm going out in a minute to find some Ladybugs..

I'll have a nasty surprise for them real soon ;)

Ok so sorry for spamming my own journal..
But I'm back after walking around like a moron looking for ladybugs.. wtf was I thinking....???
Stupid things you do when high... :eyesmoke:

Anyways so I checked my plants to see how things are after removing all of the larvae I found and I found like 2 more just then on the NL. so I removed those too.



BUT I found something pretty cool..
Pre-flower signs on one of the Blue Cheese plants..
I've never seen this before, and I never knew before it was even possible..

Please update me on this if anyone.. ??

Oh yes once cannabis hits its genetic mautrity (sp) its starts throwing preflowers and alternating leaf nodes as well. Meaning the shoot will grow up with not on leaf on each side but just one leaf on the part of the shoot. My kush started preflower in veg about the end of the 4th week maybe mid 5th week veg. As soon as you flip 12/12 you can start counting flowering days on ALL your preflowering plants.

Im a little confused you have never seen pre-flowers......?

Another thing how is that blue cheese to grow? I saw some clones at a local dispensary and was giving them some thought but I know nothing about the strain.....

Yo gfk, thanks for the info man!!
They're still some weeks before flowering unfortunately.. cause I'm looking for a new place. But I bet they'll grow very big buds one flowered now ;)

Nope I've never seen pre-flowers during veg.. honestly! Everytime I've flowered my plants I had to wait a whole week before I started seeing those pistils..
These Blue Cheese I have I also got them as clones.. they were pretty yellow and the roots were terrible.. yet they grew very well and are easily trained.
I started giving them normal water with CO2 tablets to enrich it.
Then after a week I started on nutes.
PH at 5.7 and now 3 weeks into nutes the PH is at 6.0

I'm going to be steadily increasing the PH before I trigger flowering hopefully the day I move into a new place.

BR how high are you trying to get your pH at if it is already at 6. Is there a specific reason why you are doing this before flowering?

Hey smoka, thanks for checking out my journal..
I start my PH when I introduce the plants to nutrients at 5.7 (this is where the plants eat the most nitrogen) so it will promote growth.
During flowering the PH should be at around 6.5 (here is where the plants take the most phosphorus in which promotes bud growth).

Now the secret to a healthy steady growth is to start at 5.7 and then slowly increase it to 6.5 just when you trigger flowering.

But I don't want my plants to continue growing now cause I'm moving to a different apartment soon and then I'll be ready to start growing them in bigger pot and eventually flowering them. So I keep my PH right at 6.0 which I hope will just keep them in between ;P

Week 11 of 11

Nopes not yet Wonder.. fucking ridiculous this place... impossible to find anything worth living in here.
But Atleast I managed to get some pics done today.. I went to my plants after a while again.. they're almost done.. 10% amber trichs on the WR's and the EN is still a week away.. yes 12 weeks for a 10 week Hybrid.. the moving has really stunted them.. I would never ever ever relocate my plants again.. I regret it :(

Anyways here we go.. the temps in the room are still incredibly high.. but at this point there's nothing we could do except harvest this week and next grow will be done at home again :D

Also today I tortured my plants.. I've been doing this since my very first grow and it's a really good method to increase THC production at the end of flowering.
It should have been done a whole week before harvest, but I didn't have time to go do it. And well the El Niño will receive the complete treatment since it's going a week longer.
They're all over 7 days on water and I think one of the WR will get harvested in 2 days, the other probably on Friday (11 full weeks then).
The EN next week Friday, I will make more pics up this week as I'm getting ready to harvest them.

If you got any Questions on the torture technique, comment me it.

Also the pics aren't of best quality, I was in a hurry again today.. sorry guys!

Ok first of all, congrats on the upcoming harvest. Now, explain this torture business to me, and if you wouldn't mind, the benefits from your exp.
