Before I get into any explanatory notes, have a look at this lush bitch.


The main focus now is keeping center mass as low as possible by sweeping Tahoe to the right. This will help fill the weaker Larry side as well.

The weaker Larry side is filling in.


This is the head of one of Tahoe's numerous 'second main branches.' This one has been vital in helping to fill Larry's side. It just leaves a trail of tops wherever it goes. Awesome.


And a gratuitous closeup of Tahoe's true main head. Can you guess which one it is?

I'm really thinking about starting hps 12/12... like really soon.

Edit:
I know there's talk about 1000w being overkill. Come on, look at this shit. What some call overkill, I call indestructible plant vigor. The trick is matching what's going on downstairs to the lights upstairs. If your root environment can only support a certain level of growth, the intensity of the light will just make it hit its ceiling faster (rootbound)... and there's your overkill. Take the possibility of getting rootbound out of the equation, make all the required elements immediately available for root uptake, overkill replaced by balance. It took me many, many grows to finally figure this out and dial it in properly.

Ah, a friendly contest between gentlemen it is then. Excellent. Just what I was hoping for.

I am really hoping that Larry grows big fat donkeys and takes over the Tahoe in flower....will be interesting to see.

Hey Jin, funny one, just found out Lee Scratch Perry is playing tonight in town with the Mad Professor so may be venture down, we shall see (he's as mad as a fukking brush in concert!)

It amazes me that the old coot is still alive never mind performing... how does he do it? He and Keith Richards must be something other than human... But I'm sure Perry has stopped sniffing glue and shocking himself.

totally agree, last time I saw him he came on with a microphone that looked heavier than him, lol, the usual big feathered headpiece on and this hilariously huge mic with all sorts of things hanging off it. Give him his due it was still a cracking show, even my wife thought it was cool. He just sort of mumbles away at some points so every song has his own take depending I guess on what mumbles his brain is emmiting that particular night.

EDIT: May be he does it due to the copious quantities of herb he is smoking.....

My ultimate reggae show would be him and Burning Spear back to back. Can you imagine the hours of incoherent chanting and wailing?

Edit:
I can't believe I waited until now to post one of my favorite Burning Spear clips from one of my favorite reggae films, Sunsplash 79.

The problem with the road is that it's just so damned Foggy.

And rare footage of a young Spear in 79 playing with a soccer ball while smoking weed and talking about... well, you tell me.

And even rarer footage from the same movie of three random and hilarious Rastamen singing the praises of... what else? Rasta.

Oh, and I fucking love this. From the same Sunsplash 79 movie.

What's interesting about this concert film is that it's one of the few big Jamaican shows where Marley and Tosh appeared as separate solo acts.

That secondary main Tahoe head I was using as weak Larry filler was having issues. I'm training this branch to the extreme to get it as far over to the right as possible, so it's been getting some rough treatment. I already lost a tender shoot to overly aggressive training. Not gonna make the same mistake twice.

Note that the tie has perfectly relieved the tender young top from the harsh tension of cage contact.

What's better than scrogging or tying? Scrogging AND tying.

When you mentioned that 3-bladed issue you had before, now that it is past, would you say that your final buds suffered from that? I'm running into that now. One plant that got the most training seems to have alot of 3 bladers along with SOME 5 blades. Should i continue? 3 weeks in flower now, but i don't want to waste time or space. I love it when cool ppl have more exp. than me and can help save making mistakes.:) And scrog looks great!

My DOG kush grows mostly 3 leaves and seldom has more than 5 leaves on a fan....it's my top and fave strain.

Jin you rule! Those pics were exactly what I was hoping for, and just as expected they are too large to fit both in one frame. It seems like you'll need to flip to 12/12 soon or it'll get way out of control, but I'm sure you are prepared for the OG stretch-


And as for seeing only 3-bladed leaves, it seems like sometimes it's just a genetic trait (neither good nor bad) and doesn't have much to do with the final bud quality (pretty common for clone-only og, my tahoe og looked the same as jin's just smaller)...and after seeing pics of DST's DOG here on rollitup I'm convinced that having mostly 3-bladed leaves is no problem

Definitely need to start flowering soon. I'm gonna start this Friday. But for now, here's a 10 minute long video of Justin Bieber getting shot.

Sat in the pub and watched 2 bus loads of football hooligans get knicked tonight, hehe (Man utd and Ajax). The wife took some shots of the buses, I'll see if I can get them off her camera.

Sea of green? Would you settle for lake of green?


Tahoe side. Vegging like wildfire. I got my tucking cut out for me tonight. Damn, got really high... but gotta do it. Later.


Larry side.

Hey, at least it reached all the way to the end, right?

And look how healthy it is.

And here's another look at the strong side again.


And here's a powerful mix of Larry and Tahoe. I have to admit, having two gorgeous strains co-existing like this looks pretty cool.


And here's that Tahoe head I tied.

Last night:

Tonight:

Boing! Look at the trail of tops it leaves behind. Sweet.

I injected with another 20ml of h202. Can PM spontaneously generate in a sterile environment? We'll see...
