Heh I'm using KoolBloom right now lol (it did come with my HydroFarms set up so it was kinda free)
I know
3LB is a great site full of smart ideas and methods

Nice slideshow
I wanted to do time elapsed then edit it in flash
but there was no room in the OP
Maybe next time I will give it a go.
If I mount the camera and not move anything for several months snapping off a shot a day it should be quite interesting.
But thats next grow.
Meanwhile, they are looking great.
I think mine are catching up tho

KH: Cheers mate! Much appreciated!
Toolage: Haha thanks i get creative when im bored
DirtyShawa: I got them from everyonedoesit.co.uk however i know they dont send seeds to the US sorry
Surely theyre not more than $50 on other US websites?!
Alto: Yeah man i wanted to set my camera up in a similar way either to film 24 hours worth of growth by taking a photo every 15 minutes or so. Or for the whole grow would be really interesting to do. However im not sure how i'd go about doing the 15 min exposure on my camera dont think it can. Ah well. This was the best alternative lol. Yeah i know man how many weeks do you reckon your plants average till harvest? Or is it a guessing game as they're mixed strain?

oh they work like molasses and contain other beneficial nutrients but yikes - it is still pretty much kool-aid!

Its a guess at best but all the strains listed in the "Mega Mix" I purchased call for 7-8 weeks.
That leaves like 5-6 (maybe even 7-8 ) weeks to go.
and the one Grenadine plant calls for 7-8 as well so even tho I know they won't from watching them
they should all be done around about the same time, give or take a week.
I am gonna let em go till they have about 50% amber trics

Alto: Sounds good man 
Not TOO long now really! On the packet and website it suggests ten weeks for strawb haze and 11 weeks for added flavor. Its been just over 2 weeks so i guess 9 weeks left max? Although i have heard it takes even longer than what they state on the packet (Which i hope is true). You'll be sampling yours before i chop mine lol

Cheers OB me neither! 
haha
BGT: Thank man, it seems to be working at the moment, i cant quite imagine how its going to work when they're much bigger.. only time will tell.
Just made a grow time table on excel to plan out the rest of the grow. Worked it out. Im away for 22days of the grow... I leave at the end of week 6 and come back at the end of week 9! Now you can see why i hope these girls take much longer than they say they do. Supposedly they take 10/11 weeks lol. However not all is lost as i have someone who can come over and water/ tie down for me, but then hes fucking of to Ibiza half way through it as well. But he will be flushing for me. So all in all they will be without any water/ tying down for 12/13 days...
SO much could go wrong when im away. I have gained so much experience from this as it is so it wont be all loss if everything goes wrong. Ah well just have to hope to heck everythings ok. Light shouldn't bust, Odor control will be main problem as the misses is at home when im away lmao If i could id upload a photo of the time table for you guys to see. The main problem could have been avoided if i had only waited a week longer to put into flowering lol oh well.

Wouldn't it just be easier to just get the misses to take care of them while you're gone, or bring the girls over here....roflol.
Well the offer is out there for sure but I doubt that you're close enough to make it feasible. What about a travel size grow op, that's the ticket, weed grow on the go.
Good luck whatever you do with them man.

Well it would kind of lose the point of it being stealth as shes the reason its stealth lol If she rings me and rants then i'll try an persuade her to water them and check on them haha. Haha i dont even know how id get these girls on a plane to get there but thanks for the offer! Thanks im gonna need all the luck i can get lol.
I figure if i keep these girls as low as i can possibly can for as long as i can then hopefully there will still be a decent amount of room for them to grow for when i leave. The problems that could occur are 1. odor. 2. Size ie too big and burning. 3. Water deficiency. 4. Finishing early meaning by the time i harvest theyre too far.
The last two or less likely than the others. Im going to pack the grow op out with ONA blocks and plug in odor neutralizing wall socket things around the tent. HOPEFULLY that'll work. . . Shall be interesting when i get back to say the least.

Sounds good to me Wish mine would yield 500 grams pqm lol Im so excited to try this smoke i really dont know what to expect!

exciting, I have been reading a lot about how Arjan grows and that guy is a mad man- I am sure any seed from greenhouse seeds has a good founding he seems to have done his work! I have had strawberry haze, but who knows where I am from- unless you grow it and buy the seeds i wouldnt believe. But it tasted amazing a definite dusty strawberry taste i guess is the only way to describe it... Keep up the great work-

damn bro I'm sorry to hear about this. i hope everything goes well while you're out. Hopefully this friend is trustworthy and has somewhat of a green thumb. Let me know how everything goes when it gets closer to your departure! have a good one TGP!

OB: All these reports on the smoke of strawberry haze is getting me excited lol i have ages to go. The thing is i should be relaxing on holiday in Greece but i'll probably just be constantly worrying or thinking about my girls. How great will it be if everything goes perfectly and i get back and their ready to harvest within a day or so. That'd be heaven haha. Sure thing i was supposed to be going with him but there was a clash with my holiday ah well.
Toolage: My mates definitely trustworthy. My plan is as follows: Tie the girls down constantly now, no holding back so i can keep them as compact as possible (infact im about to tie them down again after this). Hopefully when i leave there will still be a foot + of room for them to grow. Raise the light as high as possible and thoroughly water them. Then make loads of two litre bottles with solution in it. Some with the correct nutes and some with plain PH'd water. Then all i have to do is explain to him if theyre getting to high tie them down and show him how. Then explain when to use and why to use each type of water. He will be the one flushing so no matter what he will be using nothing but fresh water half way through his visits. It shouldnt be a problem.
As for odor, i bought this little odor neutralizing thingy yesterday for £3. Put it in my grow tent and 100% of the odor has gone... So my plan is to buy two or three of these and get him to put a new one in every 3 days or so. It will be more than enough to cover the smell particularly with my ONA block in there as well. Im very confident with it all now. Only problems are now with how tall they grow and nute burn problems which could occur. Fingers crossed!!
edit: 29 Days until i go on holiday... Thats ALOT of time for them to grow lol...

Update: Day 70 - Day 18 Flowering - 29 Days until i go on holiday - 53 Days till the 10 week mark - 60 Days until the 11 week mark.
Today is mainly about Mary as i have had to tie her down again. These girls are growing so fast its unbelievable! I hope they stop putting energy into growing and into budding by the time i go on holiday! Im having to tie them down every other day...
Width of the op is becoming a problem. I dont think you guys really have an idea of how small my grow tent actually is.. It it this way there is only just enough room for both of the pots in there alone as far as the floor space is concerned. The width of the area is 27 Inches, depth is 19 inches. Mary alone from one tip to another is 20 inches... Not only is she overlapping her pot Jane is too so things are very cramped. ONTOP of that i also have my fan on the floor as well.... Dont ask how lol there is a massive bulge where the fan is when i shut the tent. I have photos of Marys growth over the edge of her pot.
Anyway tying down is a major operation at the moment she has branches over lapping/ under/ over each other everywhere. Im running out of width so fast and when the branches point upwards then theres not a lot else i can do but leave them be which could cause problems. On my next grow if im in the same tent or similar size space i am going to plant the girl to the far side of the pot not dead center. That way when i start LST'ing she can work her way right around without taking over the whole tent lol
Anyway photos of Mary overflowing:
Just a quick update on the clone. I removed about 90% of the water from her rockwool two days or so ago to try and get it to root. Im not that fussed about this clone. I removed some more bottom leaves as they were yellowing a bit. Today i cant be bothered to leave it in the bottle for increased humidity anymore so ive put it in a small pot for now with soil to see how it does. I do expect to check in on it in an hour and see it wilted / dead. The reason the stem is bent isnt due to wilted currently its because of the position i had the bottle in therefor it leant towards the light:
Heres both the girlies
Picture of Mary who had branched out so much over night i couldnt believe it:
Jane and the clone in soil:
Close up of Janes top:
Noticed this today on Marys main stem. Its obviously cracked or ripped without me realizing but has fixed itself, thought it'd be an interesting photo:
And some of the tying down i did today, its becoming havoc in there lol:
Not too sure what else to say. I have been watering much less than i thought id need to. And over the whole grow i have used hardly any nutes what so ever its surprising. I guess there must have been a lot of nutes still in the soil i used as they havent shown any defficiency that i know of yet. Will water them on Sunday with Canna Boost. Its 2 and a half weeks until i use the PK13/14.
Thanks for stopping by, sorry for the lengthy update lol
Peace
