The girls sure do look sexy man, haha. My plants are on day 25 of flowering now and they're coming along nicely. They look to be about a week or more behind yours though because of the problems with hps ballast and bulb not working. I get the new parts to fix the 400 watter tomorrow so i hope they can catch up after 7 days lacking the HPS, they've been going on a bunch of CFL's for the past 6 days.

I'm getting a better quality bulb too so maybe this will help them catch up, i just pray that this week hasn't ruined my whole grow/setup/harvest. Also I was just wondering the height of your tallest/shortest plants, mine range from 15inches to just over 18 inches. Although I trained my plants to grow sideways so that the buds will grow up.

Anyways, everything looks great and keep up the good work. I can't wait to compare buds around the holidays, we'll have to have a :leaf:Christmas Eve Bud Porn Post Party:leaf:, lmao.

Hell yes that party sounds very good to me lol, i cant wait bro.. I believe my tallest plant so far is the Strawberry blue she is right at about two feet the other two PK and SDG are about the same so about 20 or 22 inches..And hey dont worry about the one week of growing with the CFL's they can hold there own without screwing your grow up and not to mention you could get some hell of a bud growth once you switch to the new light just becouse it new and stronger...So you will be alright im sure of it..cant wait for more pic's to..

What would you say the length/diameter of your biggest cola is filling out to be? I try to visualize where mine would be in about 5 weeks, I have a good nug thats about 4-5 inches long and about an inch and a half in diameter. I can tell from how buds on the nodes below are stretching up to it it will be at least 8-10 inches long by the time its done growing. I hope it gets nice and fattt too, haha.

As for the bud width i'd say about the size of a medium toothpaste tube at the time they have not yet started to really callus up yet just a bunch of thick long pistals and a few calluses..But i can say they may fatten up well if the size they are now are any indication..Peace

Got my setup running even better than before, posted some new pics after their first day with the new parts/new bulb. This is almost the end of week 4 but they're actually a week behind because of the 8 days of no HPS. Here's a couple of their sexier pictures:

LMFAO! Dude girls gone wild ganja party room, i'm gonna have some sweet dreams tonight after pondering that in my head. I hope the new light makes them explode with calyxes, I know the fucking thing just about blinds me compared to my old bulb. Thanks for following along and i'll be keeping an eye on your grow as well. Theres plenty more new pics on my journal as well, i'll be doing a picture update at least once or twice a week from here on in. Take it easy, peace.

Stinkbud I gotta say nice plants man. I noticed one of you're plants has a nice goldish tent to its flowers. Must be a strain quality. Anyways now about the new winter strains you got. I seen you got the Green poison. Thats gonna be a nice strain to flower out. Make sure you grow that baby. By the way has anyone ever heard of using the aqua globe to replace having to water the plants?
I was thinking that the idea of the aqua globe is cool, you know not having to water, it gives the plant water when it needs it, then I thought how much water it would hold, and if it could go without busting under a hps or outdoors under the summer sun.

I have used aqua globes in the past because I got a deal on a bunch of them, they are kool in the way that if you get them positioned right towards your roots they will keep them watered for up to a week or more depending how hot your light/grow area is. I used a few with my 400 watt hps in a past grow and they didn't explode and it was within a foot or so of them, the plants I had with the aqua globes got bigger than any of the other ones. As your plant makes CO2 into oxygen during photosynthesis it drinks water and releases a lot of the oxygen bi-product out of the roots, hence why they stress not over watering cannabis because the roots need to be able to breathe in order to grow thicker. These oxygen bubbles go up into the aqua globe as the plant drinks water and breathes, as these bubbles go into the top of the globe they force an equivalent amount of water out of it into the soil and roots below.

I also used the aqua globes on my current grow when they were only a week into veg because I went on vacation for like 4 days and was worried they would dry out under the constant HPS, so I just gave them a heavy watering and then used the aqua globes. When I got back from vaca they had barely drank half the water and looked ultra healthy. Also just a reminder they recommend that you wet the soil evenly before putting them in the soil and after you put it in the soil the first couple times your going to have to pull it out and pull the dirt clog out and put it back in the same spot. I found that little rocks/pearlite would clog it on the first couple inserts, but you'll know you got it right when you see a few bubbles come up after its in. Hope this helps!
