Here's some Jilly that's just about ready. The pics were taken at exactly 8 weeks of 12-12. They are now at 9 weeks and have swelled nicely. Most buds have had to be supported. My first run of Sub's gear and so far it has not disappointed. Will be harvesting this weekend. Trichs are 100% cloudy with maybe 2-3% amber. The buds are dense as hell and covered in sugar.

As you can tell I'm indoors. Between ghetto birds and neighbors not possible to run outdoors. I rarely do soil (two harvests in soil this past year, too much trouble :wall:). The Water Farm has been very good to me with exceptional harvests. I usually run dual farms, one in veg, one in flower (600w). Have some Sage & Sour in veg.

For the Jilly I used the Lucas Formula for feeding with a slight modification; Orca Liquid Mycorrhizae and H2o2 to keep the roots healthy. The Jilly was a very light feeder although I was able to run nutes as high as 1500 with no effect, but normally kept at 800ish and as you can see dark green. I'm not a big believer in flushing, in my view doesn't mimic nature, but I do reduce nutes close to harvest. When I do a soil run I will leech salts, but not "flush" (I know, lots of debate on this subject).

Anyway, should be a great harvest. And to think, I was hoping for a male to harvest the pollen.
Hell yes the water farm has been very good to you. Those should be some nice tasting buds very good work.

i love making crosses :hump:
Right now I got two KK's going and I don't know what to cross them with if they both turn out male/female. I can't belive 1 out of 5 Romberry's sprouted, even my PPP went 2/5. Freebies really saving my ass..:mad:

i always wanted to try out bodhi, keep us updated~~

Aloha Everyone~:leaf:

I have 6 seedlings that are gonna be mama's some day. I started on Cinco De Mayo(5/5) They've been under cfl's 16/8 they're starting to branch out a bit and are working on 5th set of leaves..I bended their asses over yesterday, trying to get as much growth from the branches as I can for clones..I was wondering what you guys do when your making mama's? I've only "LSTed" and pinched tops before, never FIMed. Looking for some knowledge~~

All methods serve to change the hormones in the plant by downgrading the apical tip and forcing the plant to create others. Here is the best read on the subject I have found so far... http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/239248#239248

To be honest, each method has pros/cons and I'm thinking using whichever makes most sense on each part of the plant. Gonna try mix and match next time lol... I haven't fimmed before, but gonna give it a shot too, sounds like it's a little finicky, but when it works it can make the most branching...

thanks again trich. same here, i only topped my plants because fimming seems a little finicky, but its time to get my feet wet. :) little hesitant at the moment tho because the risks are out weighing the benifits. heres a plant that was going to be a mother but decided to go the safe-er route and throw her outside... and now im thinking i probably should've hacked her up. time to grow some kohones!

Unless you get really unlucky with introducing a disease with a dirty blade, worst that can happen is you'll set her back a few days growth, no biggie. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation as to how to tool the razor blade's curve for fimming. I just imagine some pliers or something to give it the little curve would work, but since I haven't done it yet thought I'd ask... I have actually inadvertently fimmed before when pinching tops, and I did get 4 stems from the site, so I think it's pretty easy as long as you get the right spot and the plant is cooperative.

A straight razor blade wont work? I wasn't aware you had to cut at an angle?
If I understand correctly, you are supposed to make the blade have a "scoop" shape to it, that way it cuts in deeper in the middle of the node, but leaves the outside branching a bit longer. Perhaps someone will chime in who knows best.
