Hey its about time huh?

Well My buddy brought over some pics of the grow, they were taken on the 23rd.
Over all things are looking good, The canopy is a little tall, there are a couple colas that have passed the fence line but
most are under it.

They get water then two days later feed then water again. We have been feeding them Bloombastic and FF Big Bloom.














We had a fight with spider mites.
Yea, I know I hate the things too. They attacked the Widows, Seems like the Super Silver was too tall for them to reach
but they sure fucked up the lower growth on the widows.







The plants are trained to grow away from where the shot was taken but you can see the lower growth.






Yea, we hit them with neem oil then safers, Getting close to harvest for the Widows. Probably next week or two.

Ha,

Yea we talked about what we can do with those stalks. Fishing poles was one idea.
Another was to cut them at 4 foot lengths and wedge them horizonally in my cab and use them to train with.

My bud likes the fishing pole idea better.

Looks good brother, keep up the solid progress. Every time I see pictures of those happy girls outside I get jealous.

Me too!
I am only in for a cut.

Still, Its a cool grow and I never seen a outdoor SCROG. One thing we have learned, We allowed 18" from top of the screen to the top of the fence and we should have gone 24 inches.

dude, those would be perfect for pool cues, ninja weapons, soil stakes, or even a natural frame for a cab/tent.

For some reason vidoes dont really show whats going on

Dude, Pool cue?

Ninja weapons, lol, not me man.
I will just go get a couple boxes of rounds.

I kinda like the tent frame idea.

9-28-09

Temps 86 res 71°
PPMs 620
PH 6.2

I added two gallons fresh brought the PPMs to 500 left pH alone.
Lights changed to 13/11
I plan on adding two more gallons fresh when it needs it then flush.

The widow's were seeds from one I hermed and got about 10 seeds. So, My experence with herm seeds is started with ten,
four popped, 2 survived, out of the two I got one nice plant.

10 to 1 odds suck in my book. I am staying with good genetics from hear on out.

Train Wreck performed about what I thought in regards to size and trichomes production... Lots of them!

Trichomes shots.






















The kids are right on track,

I topped the tallest Train Wreck last night and move the light up a notch.
A couple of the Purple Kush's are a bit short still but they got hella roots for there size.
I got ten good clones out of the twelve. They are around four inches tall. I figure I got a week.

Those LEDs get me every time man. You have such a professional set-up. As you have said to me many a time, I'm stubborn as shit haha. I can't help but think if I set out to spend $1,300 what I could have done as opposed to just ending up at $1,300 haha.

Yea, I really dig the colors too. I think by keeping the lights right on top of them is whats helping with the node space.

The buds dont really smell much unless I touch them, then ya its stinky.
They smell like the widow though, whats the trademark smell like?

its just trainwrecky... heavy, sweet, like wonderful gasoline kinda. the flavor is more consistent (than the smell) between batches, i guess you'll see soon enough.

lookin good cruzer ya the colors r trippy. never seen sumthing like that before
Yea, LED's are good to clone/veg with you don't have to worry about the plant touching the lights so its good in small spaces. Not cost effective to flower with yet though. well in my opinion.

Hey Tom,

Yea sure man: Homegrownlights.com

I got three of the 14 watt kits. Hes got high power ones now.

Just want to warn you, the 14 watt kits you assemble yourself.
Thats 280 LEDs with two pins and other stuff so like 600 solder points.
The first one took me a couple hours to do.
