Thanks, guys! I will be doing a full picture update again tomorrow. I would today, but this is the first NFL Sunday of the season so I am going to puff on some White Widow and zone out to some football all day!

Very nice me too!

I just found out the 4-5 man wedge for kickoff returns is now illegal!

WTF!!?

Now, you can only have a 2-man wedge, with a third guy at least 2 yards away.

Weird ass shit. I guess they say it was about player safety...

Just spent an hour reading this tread, your a beast! cant wait to see to yield

Hey man, I just read all of you post over the past day. I'm friggin impressed! And holy sh!$ I wish I could live in your room! as I have a young child and can't put her into that level of risk. So vicariously I live through people such as yourself.

Keep it up, I can't wait to see what you yield!!!

Sorry for the delay in my replies here and to my PMs but it's just that I get asked the same questions dozens of times. I have literally received over 100 PMs in the last two months and more than 75% of them have asked me the same questions (i.e. Where do you get your seeds? How much is your electric bill? What kind of nutes do you use? etc. etc.) that have been answered multiple times in this thread and would easily be found if they just skimmed through the thread and read just my own posts in it. I am really, really not trying to be mean and I mean this in the most polite way possible but please read the thread before sending me a PM with a question. There is a 95% chance that you will find the answer in the thread and it will take you no more than 15 minutes to skim this thread. Hell, it's only 13 pages long right now.

Rant over.

Now, I will answer the question about how long the nutes last because that is one I haven't received yet believe it or not. For a grow of this caliber (20 plants in 2 gallon pots, vegged for 6 weeks and flowered for 10 weeks that are watered every other day) a bottle of Grow Big would last for about 2.5 grows. A bottle of Tiger Bloom lasts for about two thirds of a grow and a bottle of Big Bloom lasts for about half of a grow.

hey dill ....
i just harvestd a couple heads......
sorryy mannn ..dont have time to read your whole thread......lol
but you should see how sick my plant turned out....
gonna post pics today....
you should stop bye .....whos fucking with cheez...
since i hAvnt had a guest or replie in a week ....
later dill

dill can you snap a pic of your top 5 plants from top to bottom in one pic i wanna see your node spacing and nug size towards the bottom. tape measure would really help also. reason i ask is because i always seem to lollipop to little i think i need to be more aggressive and how come you don't use 3 gal pots? would it give you more side growth and lil bigger nugs?

yeah i got one of my girls in a 5er....
if i had enuff room i would have all three in 5ers...
but my other two are in 3's....
dill probably doesnt have enuf space in the tent......

Keep on keeping on! I decided to finally post and stop lurking and thought your thread deserved credit and I couldn't resist holding back anymore. Last night I went through both your grow threads and already know the answers to the 100 frequently asked questions. Can't wait to see the final weight and buds on this grow, it's almost ready!

Subscribed. Looking forward to seeing some of those babies harvested.

Day 105:
September 14, 2009

(Day 63 of 12/12)

We are now nine weeks into the 12/12 lighting schedule and a week into the flush and about half of the fan leaves on all plants have either fallen off altogether or turned yellow and are about to fall off. A few of the plants look like they are ready to be harvested already (the Lemon Skunk especially) but a few also look like they need at least another week. I am really hoping to chop on the 21st, but I will wait as long as it takes as I am in no rush. Just a few pictures for you guys today as I didn't have a lot of free time today. I will update at least one more time before the harvest though so keep this thread active and going. We're almost home!

Very nice Dill...Jeez I sound like a broken record

You didn't like my joke?

You got at least another week..if not two until those are prime! Looking solid though. Glad you have the patience to wait it out!

Hardy har!

Im new to the rui community but i just got done looking at your first grow and your current and i am just dumbfounded all of your stuff looks awesome. i am about to start my first serious grow and i'm extremely excited i think i'm going to do Big bang and Lemon skunk i was just wondering if you had an advice since you have been growing both of them. thanks and again your babys look like the chronest shit out if i knew you i would def bring over my bongs

Man o man.. I want to know the total weight
So pretty...

Here are a couple of quick shots of a few little TrainWreck nugs I removed from one of the plants a few days ago. It was from a lower branch that had become damaged and basically got snapped off while I was rotating the plants. This branch weighed 11 grams wet and now three days later with the little nugs all trimmed up and dry they weigh 3.3 grams. I have put them in a little glass jar and will cure them up until around Friday or so before I sample them.

I just gave the girls their final flush tonight. Once again, each plant was fed three gallons of plain water followed by one gallon of water with a tablespoon of molasses in it. They will be good to go for three days now and I will feed each of them another half gallon of plain water on Friday just in time to sample a little of the TrainWreck nugs I have curing. I'll most definitely post a picture update on Friday to see where we're at and if they will be ready to harvest by Monday or not.

I'm stoked for you Dill!

That wreck looks NICE!
