i hate this grow soooo much

I hate to read this Bro, but I understand.

I had two uneventful crops, but was too inexperienced to know
how good it was. I have had issues since, but am learning a lot.

Man, Crop #3 was aborted early because of an incredible gnat attack.
....but on that crop I learned a (now obvious) lesson about switching
soils and cloth sacks.

Imagine trying a pure perlite hempy in a smart sack. Yeah....like
dumping buckets of water on the floor. Doh!

(this is what the water retention ability of Kellogs Patio Plus is like ;0)

I am sure that you are a Crop away from rocking!

haha it was only this morning that i was wondering if you could use them smart pouches.......

what burns the most is, i have no idea what caused the foxtailing, allot of people say its a sativa gene.....some say temps....mine could be nute related i have quite dark green leafs and as soon as i dropped the nutes (even though no signs of burn and very healthly looking) the foxtail buds really started to grow.....so is it nute related??

at least if i could say it was defo a fuck up on my part i would be happy to have the clones were they are, and happy to stick them 12/12.....could cloning remove this trait??

i dont want more airy bud this is a first and last time.......

this is the trouble when your not confident in your own abilities, i said earlier in this thread about the pointy tops, and that this bud structure wasnt normal....i really thought i was onto a genetic winner, it was a very indica leaning plant right up untill flip, then it became extremly sat dom.....

what makes this worse is that she smells EXACTLY of lemonade.....crack a can n take a wiff and i promise you its like being in my groom......she is soooooo sticky and oily....simply brushing past her makes your arms very sticky......and her sugar leafs look like "tacos" curled up with pure crystals ontop......

simply perfection.....but the catch is airy buds.....and for me this is a deal breaker....as said i will flower her clone at some point hopefully in a better enviroment and at low level nutes at a constant rate......the bulb i was using died after 4 weeks.......she was next to a fan all grow......no idea of temps.....fuck knows how shes even still here.....

the trouble is ls2 (rip) followed te exact same programe and had the usual rounded buds i fear this is genetic....

and with being homeless fuck knows why i germed them last 2 Ls seeds......ill be the only hobo walking around with lemon trees....lol

Damn LK, hope things don't end up as bad as it sounds. Least your misses didn't dump roundup on your plants and then leave like my boy's girl did.

Yeah some scrubs busted out my car window and swiped my laptop and galaxy tab. At least insurance covered it.

no but she chucked all the poles to my tent, smashed all lights and equipiment and when it was to hot to touch the floor at the start off the summer she took both plants from this diary and layed them in the sun on the concrete roots up.......

i have made this mistake too many times before, i need my own place to share with me and my girls.....least when these one piss me off i can cut there heads off and call it "topping" lol....

anyways man you got enough of your own troubles, you got a sexy new lappy n tab yet or what then???

more foxtail Ls phenos.....

[video=youtube;k8L5z7p7TKI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8L5z7p7TKI[/video]

raaa this seems common?? i wonder why ive never seen it?? hmmm its like my SLh never getting the low yeild lemon pheno always the high yeild haze one....WTF is going on!!

[video=youtube;sZOID15v9KI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZOID15v9KI[/video]

just an insight as to the bud structure i have always seen......this was my last lemon skunk mum i took her to c9 (9 x clone of the original).....this was the grow before this one and i forgot to raise the light, hence all the burning on leafs etc.....interesting how she never foxtailed even with heat from the light,she was again an indica leaning LS from seed, and didnt stretch much at all.....also from the same pack of seeds as ls1 and ls2...........

...i fear i may have had and lost the best pheno....thats what you get for thinking the grass could just be that little bit greener....

heres hopeing out of the last two beans ive just put in jiffys (from the same pack as all above) give me what i need and lost buds like these......

just incase no ones seen it.....

Had to go see your grow journal, beautiful plant, and I learned something new about germinating, I am going to try your method, my husband has two master Kush and two Afghani#1s growing in a a grow box, he planted tap root down, I'm going to try your way with mine. Planting in rock wool side ways, would that be ok? Many thanks!

LK,

Well, I can clearly see what you are talking about.

The difference can be seen in all those "packets of still white hairs"
that are the fox-tails. Weird stuff.

I have been unsure as to whether I hate those things...they seem to
be buds growing...they are all bud material, with no seeds or even stems.

This is just another sign of my newness, as the shape and nature of the
buds themselves are sort of a final challenge. I will get there.

Great stuff. It was funny to see Las Vegas on the stage. :0)

JD

it seems its more common then i thought, mine could be due to allot of environmental conditions, it seems to have happened only on the tops of the biggest buds...i am wondering if this happened because LS2 made the light so far away from Ls1.....i am wondering if i have had this because of low light in the first 4 weeks.....and what i am seeing is the plants reaction to this......

e.g.....

during the first 4 weeks the light was around 2ft from ls1, mainly covering LS2, and Ls1 had minor reflection around it....i am wondering if low light intensity then sudden intense light had caused this.....mine really look like they have stretched for light.....

we will see if its genetic on the next run.....

picks tonight.....

dna ls pick i found taken to week 9......no foxtails.......

just found old SLH diary nearly complete worth a look if your board....if only i knew about cloning back then eh.....what a pheno.....pure haze taste though...

lets hope you have similar to come JD

enjoy.......

abit board so thought id post some veg piks, enjoy!







veg piks

day 22 of flower

right Lemon King asked me to put these on for him ..after days of not getting pics to a 10 min email address and not getting the pics I had to make a gmail one so here they are lol





put these on after 10 mins of receiving the pics and lovely lemon by the way

Week 4

Lots of growth since last week and she is covered in ping pong size buds... The buds on this curl round the stems it's lovely!!
Loads n loads of crystals on the buds already and there growing day by day.

Smell is lemon with hints off haze and it stinks!!

The left side under the 400w dual spec have stretched loads! The ones under the 600w red hps ain't stretched but buds are the same size!!

No idea what ec is... No idea what temps are!!

Ph always 5.8 never drifts as she drinks 10ltr a day!!







Dutch pro nutes are cheap and easy to work with I also highly recommend canna flush and bio nova n-zym (no root rot!!)

Main cola

Due to this being 6ft I had to super crop it and use a weight which is moved along daily ... The buds are all growing straight up off the stem and they are much bigger then the others and look really sexy, that's why a scrog is for me..fuk da leaf!!!!...one top leaf has been burnt!!

Moving grow space so will update changes!!

So there it is me ol china!!

Piks wen up2s......up2 it.....lol

Any comments welcome

Update time day 31 flower

Ok smell was becomming a big issues in fact the only issue! It was so bad I had to get a carbon filter...

Trouble Is that needs a sealed environment to work!!and my makeshift blk n White tent was anything but that!!

So I could eva leave her and constantly spray gabreeze or do I put her back in the tent n risk mold etc but no smell!!

.....
........
..........

So after hours n hours I decided to put the 2m wide monster back in the tent so...

It so fuckin squished in there so guys n girls do I chop off lower branches n give her more room or do I leave it stress free n risk it,, I have found water between leafs when circulation was bad!!!

Help!....

Still on 30ml n will increase to max 35ml at week 6..

Top cola that's bent is getting very heavy the plant is also bending the bubbler top in!! She cannot bad lifted or moved!!

Next grow I will scrog her and only veg 4 weeks not Inc first 2weeks on cill... As shed be perfect!!


Buds are covered in crystals and very very sticky!!

No more haze smell at all jus very very strong lemon!!

So shud I chop her to size or not!!

Update week 5 off flower

5 weeks to go and looking good so far, no signs off over or underfeeding!!

Massive lemon smell!!

Having to tie branches to stem as leafs fall off to get the edge buds closer to the light and away from the tent Walls!!

Complete darkness under the canopy even with lights on!!

One light even in the tent wasn't enough and only light up half the plant so still using the 600w and 400w

Temps good and buds steadly growing

Weekly flush everythurs!!

Need to learn lollipopping still too much air bud!!

Ec .... Dunno
Ph..... Cannot now lift plant so having to pour over the stones which is buffeting the solution to 5.8!!!
