ohh man the band looks sooo medicinal. very beautiful job.

headband is in my top ten strains for medicinal purposes but as for growing how do you like it.

Is the yield on the low end. how is the stretch compared to the OG.
the yield is comparable to the og. there is NO stretch with these babies, and you can give them a good kicking and they are happy. they are also very mold/PM resistant. My OG's were getting it tight with PM, and the Headbands were sweet as pie.
I really love this strain, for the smoke as well as the growing.
You just need to get it past the shagging itself stage and you got a keeper for sure.
I am gonna have a lot of seed from this lot. Next I will be lucky to get a couple.

Seeing this really make me want to push my OG to 10 weeks.


This definitely doesn't look like it grew without attention. Hell it looks better than my OG (the one at 7 weeks) which grew under the light with my full attention
I think you''ll appreciate the OG left up to the middle of week nine at least. It's so worth it IMO.


u think it would be possible to do a verticle grow in a 2'x4'x8' space? what is the area u are using ?
I think so, T. No problem. I am gonna do it in metres, but my measurements are about 1.3 X 1.4 x 2.7. The height is the essential thing bru. and you got enough space I would say to get something growing all the way round a central light. Probably similar to Jig's and his needs to be seen to be believed. Would be cool to have you down the vertical route.:hump:

I think this'll be more on the indica side Westy....I told you my nose was getting itchy. lol (got a little scrumped bud on the radiator, already the wife has mentioned the reek!)

Man I hope one of your turns out in this time. Perhaps you'll need to let the SD one go a bit longer? But I think you got one of each (Laurel and Hardy where they not called by someone, hehe - if they are pure boys you are one lucky mofo!!) EDIT I'll be over to get one (hahah)

At the end of the day it's all about giving them ideal conditions. but they do have a tolerance to differences for sure, it's just the added problems you get with hight temps in enclosed spaces, or other such things.

I am sure the girls will love the extra light though. Just bear in mind how much lumens sunlight gives. A LOT:blsmoke:

Good luck with the comp. Post some pics up at the 600 of the sunflowers!

Thanks for stopping by folks.

:peace:DST
easy mr DST interesting comments about the sunlight. i have my 400mh coming on 3hours either side of midday now, temps get up2 30 but i'm running my fans under half speed 2 get the rh and temp up, supposed 2 help with the PM. neem oil has suppressed it a little and gonna give them another spray 2nite with "plant vitality +" - mite treatment. gonna get some batts for the digi cam 2day, got another high profile job 2day. thought i better not wake and bake with the blue cheese, so smokin sophies descendants lol. work must really think the sun shines out of my..... little do they know lol. hope ur well 2day D and everyone else? Any one heard from Don? U recon he's couch locked out with his latest airpot harvest? lol


Take it easy peeps, better finish of my zoot and get ready 2 leave. m25 is always crap, my 40 min journey will take an hour and a half :( lol

Fingers :)

hey fingerez, here's a thought lad. I only started to get bad PM when I sprayed my girls. If you can avoid spraying them then do so....I vowed not to foliar feed flowering plants again after my last little PM spree....

I did have PM before my foliar spraying spree, but it was 10x worse...to the point of loosing some of the bud (14g's or so...) I just think that is doesn't help the situation.

Sheesh the M25 I have only experienced a few times but I have never heard a positive word said about it......roads in Holland are crap, for such a small country wee have around 180km of traffic jams every day!

I wish, nah, I'd just repotted them on the table in there (ideal naturally for that sort of thing, hehe) and the sun was coming down, and the temp was over 20, so I was like, okay, you girls are sitting there for the afternoon. I think they enjoyed the day trip, they are back home now under the fake sun....it dropped under 10 late afternoon!!! So still too much of a temp change in there for little ganja plants.

Clipped all the bud of the brnaches and have large paper bagged them. Just skinning up my first joint of Casey Jones (not cured naturally - but stinking like naebodies business now)

The Orange came in at 82 grams in total
The Casey 1 was 65 grams and the Casey 2 was 54 grams. I think they'll probably loose at least another 10-15% in the bag so I will end up with my 6 oz target easily. The Orange is basically bone already, just needs time to settle and let the flavours come out. The Casey is what I am looking forward to, already look different from the stuff they sellin gover here (but it's the same strain - Hydro v Organics!!!) I'll have them in the bags for another 3 or 4 days and then "to the jars with them god dam it":-P

Peace, DST

haha nice yield there per plant D. WHats the biggest diff youve noticed between hudro and organic? sorry dont mean to go of subject. Just curious. Laters

I think hydro has a more intense flavour. Lets put it this way as this is how it sounds in my head. Imagine eating strawberry icecream from one of those big industrial icecream tubs, or even a McDonalds strawberry shake, and then going to someone who grinds up his strawberries, makes a real smoothis/milkshake...perhaps the flavour isn't the same....but I know which one I like! Anyway, hard to compare until this stuff cures properlly.

Off to the pub for a beer me tinks. Have a good un 1BMM.

lol biggest car park mate lol

not sure where my pm came from, maby the soil but not sure. been getting the rh down to 40% and the temps at just over 30oc along with the neem oil its not gettin any worse, maby a bit better. noticed it fairly early so might have caught it right?
