my plants developed mites at the end of the 8th week...i was totally surprised as i was checking pretty regularly with my 30x micro...one day i checked and wham!...mites everywhere...only on one plant, which had been for a large part segregated...yah, dead leaf matter and dormant eggs... is...

day 61 of flower and yesterday i found one of the girls with spider mites...yeech...it was the one i had pretty much kept sparate from the others due to space so i dont see any of the lil buggers anywhere else... :hump: i had a cardboard box in the corner of the balcony i was using for all the...

one of the plants, the one i topped, has developed in a different way than the others...about a week ago i noticed that the leaves had started to curl under...i put it down to too much water (being smaller) so i addressed that right away...the leaves stayed curled and the leaves on the cola went...

the outdoor is absolutely splendid...u have the location...

day 48 of flowering...nothing special going on, just some minor worries about some of the upper fan leaves yellowing along the veins and the topped plant has leaves curling which i think is too much water but not sure...anywhooo...2-3 weeks left so i should be good...cut a small bud to try out...

i remember being in Afghanistan long time ago, i guess around herat ... anyways, at night the milky way was like a solid band of light ... high up, it was really incredible ... and that is where all the good stuff grows ...

ok...rattlers...we have them around here and i remember as a kid stepping very carefully out in the woods...

Maybe the snake could take care of mites or something... :lol: ps...i kno i'm outta my league here...but i thot it was funny

not too sure how the super lumen feature works, but as it is the same knob as the wattage selector, i would guess that is does boost the wattage...

lumatek make a 600w dimmable ballast which allows u to dial in 400w...

lumatek 400w digital ballasts have what is called a super lumen feature which gives 20-30% increased lumens...u can dial in either 250, 275, 400w or choose the super lumen feature which would use the extra 30w in the son agro bulb...i have both the bulb and the ballast and they're working great...

day 32 of flowering...things are going smoothly if a little slow...trichome is showing more heavily on 2 of the them, the others are just being reluctant i guess...still no major odors, only a slight hint of sweet and spicy...1 of the girls has a some leaves with brown tips which i am putting...

use the chain...better safe than sorry...ballast shouldn't make a noise...heat won't be a problem, unless ur bedroom is really small... :sleep:

yeah...well, as i'm just past the n00b stage, i can forgive myself for any short-coming...they were about 20" when i flipped and they shot up incredibly...the one i topped is the perfect size for manageability...i fimed one at the same time as the topped and it is interesting to note the this...

yep, balcony is really a huge boost, but i have to be careful the next door neighbor doesn't peek over so i've put a screen up... :twisted: i've giving them the amounts listed for aggressive feeding on pro bloom, plus the cal mag, hydrozyme and molasses...i'm putting a little nitrogen in...

day 20 of flowering and they are showing nice flowers forming with some trichomes...i didn't anticipate as much stretch as i got, the one i topped though is perfect in size and has 2 nicely formed main stems...fortunately i can get 5 hours sunlight on sunny days, otherwise i think the 400 hps...

well day 12 of flowering and the girls are getting pretty lanky, the tallest is 43"...my hydro consultant (:mrgreen:) tells me that a 400 watt hps is good for 40" and then penetration becomes a problem...i've considering pinching the stems, but i don't want to blow it at this stage...the tallest...

no, nothing else...the door stays open during the light period, so the air flow is good and heat does not accumulate...it does get a bit stuffy in the dark period...when i open the door in the morning the plants are looking very robust, so the slight increase in heat and humidity doesn't seem to...

i added some foil on the walls for reflection... sunning on the balcony...the largest has reached 36" so i decided to take the top bud off...i know some will say that i ruined the plant, but it was just getting to big...and i think it being on day 7 of flowering, i should be ok... :roll:
