Yeah, what he said :)

I found that below 6.5 in "true" flower stopped the plants taking up Mg, which in turn led to Nit def's. Got a lot better at 6.7, but then the soil had a build of unused nutes and I needed a little flush. Fucking Diva plants!!!

Good point. I flush every 1.5 months just to get any salts out of the soil mix. I think it's healthier that way for the roots.

Some pics to share.. maybe I'm over thinking it, the girls are growing nicely.. I fed them today with 6.5 pH'd tap water, I did add CalMag and Superthrive .

How much longer you planning on vegging them? I'm guessing not much longer??
 
Which ones? The Ja bagseed I'm letting go for a bit, the girls in the cab will be going 12/12 soon, I fimmed them the other day and want to let them adjust first..

The jam bagseed, I presume they are in the box they will finish and flower in?? Just wondering how packed you can get them in there under your 250. I have 2 Budhha cheese seedlings i'm vegging under CFL's and will put them under the 250 in about 10 days when I harvest. I plan to top them once, then use string to train 2 of the top 4 stems, and veg for a couple of weeks before flipping, hopefully ending up with 4 evenish cola's on each plant, with an overall plant height of about 2 foot
 
you should give mainlining a go i have done it my ak48, i got 4 main colas that look almost identical and she stands at 2' exactly

That's nice looking already for 2 weeks...and that plant shape is exactly what I am headng for, but thought mainlining was something skag heads do? How do you do that, obviously some form of topping early on, which is what I am planning. I then find you have 2 shoots from the top node, and 2 from the next node down, which grow at similar heights. I plan to just tie down the upper 2 and control them till they all grow at the same height.

How many nodes high do you let them grow before flipping? Roughly. That about a 8-10litre pot?
 
thanks man, she is ak so should be finished in 48 days :) 14 down about 34 to go :)

there is a mainlining thread.

but this requires topping back to the very bottom node and letting it grow out a bit the topping each of those tops and letting em grow and so on and so forth. on the thread there is a 16 top plant with 16 almost identical tops. madness. it took a little longer to veg but gave my others a chance to catch up a bit.

it is just topping but in a very specific way so each top is coming from the same node so essentially they all grow identically because they all originate in the same place
 
thanks for that, i'll find the thread shortly.

I have a strawberry cough plant that is gonna be a week or 2 ahead of the Blue Cheese i'm germing, so may have a real play with that. They will all be topped, but maybe a bot more on the S-cough.

I'm gonna try and get my 2 buddha cheese under the 250 soon, and hopefully have them looking like your beauty
 
the clone i took off of that particular plant is doing really well. i flowered at about 3" and she took a bit longer to start flower compared to her mother but she is 1' tall now and looking to be one main cola :) ill chuck a few pics up later once the kids have gone home.

ive been smoking a bit of luton cheese the last couple days and its by far one of the best tasting and smelling bud i have smoked in a long time
 
nice going brettsog, i likes it. Before I flip my 3 strains, I will be takng a load of clones, and the best ones will become the next 8-10 plants to veg, and the rest will just be thrown in the spaces in my 2 tents in tiny pots as soon as they root.

Had to buy some North Lights this weekend, really strong, but hydro, and apparently no flush....so harsh. Only has to last a week though as I chop the first of 3 tommorrow
 
the luton cheese i bought was still wet to the point where my fingers stuck together when stripping the bud down to make a joint, left it in my little wooden rolling box over night and voila, bone dry and stinky
 
cheers guys. its a shame the missus has got fed up with it being indoors, i think ive got the environment dialled in finally, it would have just been a case of finding a nice 8 week flower heavy yeilding/hitting strain and id have been set, now i need to find a decent outdoor strain that wont rot in the uk weather and will clone easy as i dont like buying packs of seeds, i feel like they cost far too much. (<<<<<<<<<<<< single seed buyer)

anyone wanna take guesses on my yeild. got probably another 8-10 weeks on the amnesia and 6 or so on the ak48, they arent stretching anymore so they are at final height. im kinda aiming at 2 on each of the bigger plants and maybe 1&1/2 between the rest so about 5 1/2oz is my aim whether i get there or not is the real question

also im actually looking forward to making some hash this time, i made some canna butter last time, as nice as it was it just tasted like damp bud which wasnt very nice, the high was awesome, would rather a smoke. ive seen a tutorial on here where some used 100g of wet frozen trim and got 2g of nice looking golden hash using an electric whisk and ice in a bowl with water, might give it a try

Top view of my dinafem cheese. She's got 32 days left. Her top is 3 inches wide already. This pic was from 3 days ago.
 
OK, my turn for a little budd porn. Just chopped down the 1st of 3 ladies, and after much pessimism on the yield over the last week, I have been pleasantly surprised. I don't weigh wet, I think it would be potentially depressing, but i've been growing this strain for a year and pretty good at estimating the dry weight of each (very dense) nugg. Looking at the plant growing I thought 16-20g dry, but now think 25-28 dry. Would love to get an ounce from each plant, thats 3 z's for me's :)

The other 2 ladies will also have had an extra week under the 250, and an extra 4 days of pure water, so hopefully they will be banging. 3 or 4 colas have already got too heavy for the stems and have gone horizontal.

Oh, those budds are on 2 A4 pieces of paper
