Well guys just thought I'd share a little update with you guys. My 2 girls at day 44.

I'm loving the 250 more and more everyday.

Yeah pre-flowers are normal. With regards to your auto's, i've found that the ladies go through a huge growth spurt the first couple of weeks of flower, and presume auto's will do the same. I've not looked much into auto's, I don't get them, just grow them till half the height you want them, and change your tiimer.

thanks for the help but i'm sure your not meant to change the timer for autos, don't they just flower at any time schedule ?

He's saying that he doesn't get why people do autos. He's saying it's just as easy to grow a photo-period plant to the height that you want them before flip and then they will only double the size of when you flipped them to 12/12.

Yes autos flower at any light schedule but they also have a light schedule that the prefer and do the best at. Example 20/4 seems to be the best for autos.

Your girl is just telling you that she is mature enough to flower but will stay in veg stage as long as she has 14+ hours of light a day. I've kept a mother alive for about 7 months and just keep taking clones from her.

looks great grazz! tons or trics!what are you calling that other clone?a little bit a heat stress in there? or that part of the plant bad air circ?is it on whole plant or just the part w pics?

I think it may be an original NL, time frame fits mid '80s. I just need a local expert to give me a review..lol.

a little bit a heat stress in there? or that part of the plant bad air circ?is it on whole plant or just the part w pics?

Probably not heat stress, temps have hit 84* F at the most, pretty open in there too and it's not the whole plant. One thing I'm thinking it might have been was a foliar feed I did (recomended by the local hydro shop guy) of Snowstorm Ultra, may not do that again. I'm gonna hit them with some cal/mag today, can't hurt..

Thanks giggles, I was missing a couple of those. Leaning toward the SSU foliar feed.. but just in case I did flush with mild nutes, cal/mag and a drop of superthrive. I'm thinking of shutting down the ebb&flow for now and just feed when the coco looks like it's drying out..
I'm set atm with clones going and 4 plants flowering @ 1 week intervals.. going to start researching soil grow and maybe go away from the ebb&flow.

I'm a soil grower, also use a light mix and add nutes as needed, ended up going that way cos I found that most other soils burnt my seedlings. Not heard of super soil, but i'm gonna try and find out something about it now

Your welcome man.

I have the pdf of those 8 pages is anyone wants the large copy of it.

 

[giggles26]

Hey can anyone recommend a good loupe to look at my trichs? I don't want to pay out the ass but yet I don't want some cheap ass piece of junk either.

My old one broke and I can't seem to find it anymore. Just don't want to get a shitty one this time. Thanks guys!

 

[brettsog]

i got a 40x loupe off fleabay for £3, works fine for me.

hettyman, in the subcools old school organics section there is his world renowned supersoil recipe. im gonna be using it for my outdoor grow next year.

I got one from Amazon.com. I like it so much I ordered another for me and three for friends. I think it was about $3.50 US. It is about 40X to 60X. I only use 40X, it is lighted and crystal clear. I hae tried a couple others that were difficult to keep in focus, bad light, etc. This little scope has held up well.

I just got the same one with a tent kit (or looks the same) really clear, but I struggle with both the scope and my loupe to hold focus, or my hand still long enough to see easliy. Usually takes a good few attempts.

Just harvested one of my Blue mystic ladies, gonna leave the other one for another 5-7 days to compare. Think i'm gonna pull about 21g dry from this one, more if i'm lucky. I topped it and ended up with 3 main stems: the first pic on the white tray is one stem, the second is another, and the third is the whole plant
