the frost is a sap that the plant produces to protect it, it is verry much like pine tree sap, its stick and just all around messy, but its the stuff that gets you high :)

Well I'm thinkin I'm gonna wait it all the way out! I think I'm going to wait till next Tuesday. That is a full 8 weeks. But I'll keep an eye on them and if they are ready sooner then I will cut them sooner. But not much longer now. A little over a week. I can't wait.

Thank you guys for explaining this to me ;) as my plants are the first ever marijuana plants that I've seen up close and personal lol been smoking for a long time but never saw real marijuana plant growing like they grow in my closet rite now ;) Maan yesterday I water my plant with 1/2 streanght of nutes and Baaaam she just freaking exploded in a matter of overnite hours, and getting fatter and fatter each time I look at her lol and I noticed the white frost forming on the upper leafs, the D.R just loves its nutes ;)

Yea I got to the point where I was just pushing as much fert as I could lol I wanted to see what they could take. It turns out I have a very tolerant strain. Mine are really packing on some trichs. I can't wait to show you guys pictures of how WHITE this one is getting. The others aren't as frosty as the one but damn they are all pretty dank looking!

I hope you have by now realised you can not simply run that air into the attic space as it will induce mold in the attic as your pumping humidity into the dead space. This is why bathroom fans have to be vented to the soffit or out a roof top vent.Nothing like a Blackmold infestation in your attice so you have to ripp all insulkation out, scrap berams then spray with killer then sealer then reinsulate. Only cost $10 grand or so to cure once it happens in a small home.

FilthyFletch Thank you for pointing that out, but the space that I'm exhausting to is just a space about 2.5' above my ceiling filled with insulation and there are three or four mushroom type looking vents threw out the whole roof, so the air is not just being exhausted into a space with no ventylation is being sucked out threw the vents on top of the roof. Even at first when I removed the droped ceiling and moved the fiberglass insulation I could feel the draft of air traveling thru out the space. But really thank you for pointing that out. And Thank you for stooping by my thread :)

Hey guys, just a lil progress report on how the plants are doing so here are some pic's first we got D.R IMAG0208.jpgIMAG0211.jpgIMAG0212.jpgIMAG0213.jpgIMAG0215.jpgIMAG0216.jpgIMAG0217.jpgIMAG0218.jpgIMAG0219.jpg it's 18" tall and lil bit over a foot wide, and up next we got g13 auto NL IMAG0206.jpgIMAG0208.jpgIMAG0209.jpgIMAG0210.jpgIMAG0220.jpgand she's 14" tall and lil bit more wider then a D.R. And here we got some group pictures lol ;) IMAG0221.jpgIMAG0222.jpgIMAG0223.jpg

D.R as of last watering is getting full does of tiger bloom with 1/2 does of big bloom, as for NL she's getting 1/2 does of big bloom and I start her of with 1/4 of tiger bloom and as soon as I start the NL on tiger bloom she's just exploded growing bud sites everywhere, but I think I'll have to move the lights a bit up above the NL so she can stretch and get that light in those hard to reach places. The temperature is rite there at cool 77F with the lights on and about 68-69F with the lights off, since I ran that duct to that attic space I had no problems with heat even on hot days. So that would be it for this progress report. :)

One more thing I got a bag of some sour diesel last nite and as I was loading my bowl I found a nice looking seed, so that put a smile on my face, I might start of that sour d with the critical jack and do scrog on one and lst the other one.

Those are so nice man! That D.R. looks as if it would be a GREAT SOG strain. It's fairly short and strait up! Lots of buds on a small plant! GG you!

Thx Dab, yeah I'm surprised my self with this first ever grow of mine lol I love how the D.R is putting on weight each time I look at it :) Next grow I def will be doing some scroging and lst'ing, I got two photo plants that I plant to start of as soon as this are done, and one of them will be scrog and the other one will be lst'ed, I didn't want to do anything this time around as this is my first grow so I'm still learning but for my next grow I'll try some new things ;)
