LOL!
Awesome description man! I had to remind myself when i began flowering the first Amster, she was low in the field, but she blasted to the sky and seemed to stretch the whole way up until the 4th or 5th week of flowering! :0 so no Growth regulators this round once again
going for towers all round!! I'll take some pics tonight, and then put the net in, and we'll see how long she takes to reach the second net 
Haha! nice one MoI concur - reminds me of the Eiffel tower
she did start to scare me towards the end!! i was hoping shed stop growing taller and grow fatter, but well.... she certainly shafted me on that idea! it would be a strange sight in a small tent to see so many tall buds if it is the case here.... i don't know how much it will change the structure by what i've done, but i say minimal change to her height, hopefully just slightly less round!!! the last time was ridiculous! I was more worried about mould, but i didn't have to worry one bit, i'm still smashing through the Amster Gold, and loving it, still haven't grown a tolerance to her, still wakes me up midday after a knockout that is

I know ey! She's actually lifted the net in some areas lol i'm trying to con the mrs to get in there for some help putting the net in
Mrs flowa loves to feel needed in the magic garden, and i'm starting to think i went long enough vegging her!! she's still stretching at a dramatic rate and i'm a little shocked actually! These 1200 watts are really giving her a massive boost! I'm leaving both 600's on all night for the first 3 weeks of flowering then end with the air cooled hood only and UVB to bring in the autumn weather simulation which changes the flowering pattern around a bit.. she didn't seem to mind last round so i'm kind of copying my last schedule. But this girl got more cycoflower grow nutes than dutch masters this round as i ran out of grow a+b but i'm off to the shops and getting dutch masters bloom and their .27 'add' stuff which smells superiorly great to anything i've smelt before and has a secret ingredient apparently, and i've seen nice results in peoples gardens and i can only imagine how Amster will respond. Thanx Easty!! I been meaning to get into your thread again! but it seems as though it will only let me read about half the thread and then crashes..!? some mac error i'm sure of but weird it only happens in your thread and only yours?! feel free to post some harvest pics up!! I miss seeing your growLooking awesome as always Flowa, damn fine
Hope all is well Easty!! can't wait to hear your results and efforts rewarded!!, so anxious!!

Here you go brother, some shots of final chop and a couple from today of drying nug from the bottom of the plant...I may have lost some yield due to using the MH for the last 10 days but damn she has made up for it in quality and frostiness!!

hiya flowa....hope your well. i returned the rebel canon. i didnt like it.
i would like to get the nice quality shots you do and possibly get the camera you have...
im mostly interested in getting high quality trichome shots and thought that a big zoom like your camera with 18 might be perfect for that .. but in a discussion with billcollector he said .....

whats your take on this please.

AWESOME!!! I Feel like a proud dad on the sidelinesHere you go brother, some shots of final chop and a couple from today of drying nug from the bottom of the plant...I may have lost some yield due to using the MH for the last 10 days but damn she has made up for it in quality and frostiness!!
well done!!! looks very skunky tasty like!!!All is very well Dr
thankyou! billcollector is right to a degree, but a good zoom does help get those trich shots but starting with a good lens helps! a macro lens isnt so important as the digis can pull back the aspect digitally. minimum 8-18mp cmos sensor for close ups for ultra clarity at minimum..... and cropping an image to enlarge a section not by cropping size but the image itself my cam was only $250 but more like $150 now!! but still an awesome hard to beat cam with ease of use!!gotta keep playin with toys these days! to find out all the quirks!! i was knew to the computer mouse not that long ago lol!!All my pics are with a canon rebel mate

You'd be surprised mate! my very first grow i did is still up being the best of all mine, i did have help by my mentor, but it was top notch crazy chronic, something you just dont see often! it made t feel insanely easy at the time, but my 2nd grow i played around with PGR's and had mixed results, still ok yield but quality went down. But with this system, i gotta say its turned out the best of the best each time, compared to what ive seen getting around the commersh grade stuff.... you get to look after each bud you know, tend to every leaf, and hang them up, not like most commersh growers who just lay on newspaper or lay in nets, THIS makes better qualityHa ha cheers mate and so you should be
the trichomes like a resting period before they want to dry out, when people rush this stage they seem to be more disappointed and it can turn them off. When not rushed and looked forward to, results seem to happen enjoy man!! can only get better in my books
Climate conditions play most of the part when it comes to quality, and keep that fresh air pouring in the more the better!awesome work again man! i'd rep if i could!!!

Couldnt agree more man, once you got environment down the quality just gets better and better every time! Im gonna try to hang my whole plant from the trunk this time and see how much of a difference its makes. It will take slightly longer to dry, be more of a bitch to do the dry trim and Ill have to be careful about mold, but I think the longer process clears more of the chlorophyll and will drastically improve the quality... time will tell! Always words of wisdom in this thread brother Im sure the community appreciates it as much as I do! -S0uPYou'd be surprised mate! my very first grow i did is still up being the best of all mine, i did have help by my mentor, but it was top notch crazy chronic, something you just dont see often! it made t feel insanely easy at the time, but my 2nd grow i played around with PGR's and had mixed results, still ok yield but quality went down.

Spot on there Soup
If you seen my fan setup, you'd laugh, but after seeing it all and understanding why i've got 2 fans alone to push air OUT of the room, it becomes apparent!I like the idea of drying the whole plant!, i myself couldn't use that option, but cutting the plant in sections still seems to look like a few smaller plants lol
but yes it would help slow the drying process drastically, so does hanging them nice and close together in a closet or tent, with no fans circulating the air, just one to pull air out so fresh air comes in always being aware that mould can grow in humid areas, so just checking the buds regularly and turning them around while they hang helps. My smaller stuff that goes in the net, i'll bunch together to slow the drying out and this can stretch the drying to 10-12 days. Chloraphyl shouldn't take any longer than 10 days though, and you should see a huge colour change after that period, they become a greyish, brown colour and you know that its going to be smoooooth smoke the thought of trying to cut my plant and hang it whole..... now thats a scary thought! wait till you guys see Amster.... I think i got abducted and lost 3 days somewhere cause she's almost 1 foot past the net!!!

Yeah I guess bro, but at the same time, you picked up thing before i even saw it lol. You got a very well trained eye! I guess me having experience growing many outdoor crops and inside in soil also helps! Leaning chemistry and the like is always good tooYou'd be surprised mate! my very first grow i did is still up being the best of all mine, i did have help by my mentor, but it was top notch crazy chronic, something you just dont see often! it made t feel insanely easy at the time, but my 2nd grow i played around with PGR's and had mixed results, still ok yield but quality went down.

At least we'll be growing the dank from here on too
Cheers again bro and no need for rep, ive had more than my fair share!! Blaze up brother!!
edit- just saw your reply to Soup...all i can say is oh my god, if she's already a foot above the next, she's definitely on her way to becoming a big plump lady

Those are real cool mirror shots dude! Reminds me of that tool video!..... Have you ever seen their music videos? The guitarist for the band (Adam Jones) does all the art work for those as well from what I understand!
