Loving that camera. You sure know how to use it.
I think you should get one for the sole purpose of photographing erb :) point and click, it's so simple, and rarely does a bad shot

That was a favourite shot there, maximum closeup, how much do those little trichs look like magic mushrooms ;)

Looking at them trich makes me want to ask, how much longer???
Awesome you say that, and i actually have never seen a plant mature this fast. I could literally pick a sample by the end of this week, she is still producing heaps of resin all the way to the tips, so production is still high, I actually have found a few amber trichs already, only a few maybe 5% if that, I can't explain anything really, but i would say she has around 2 weeks left. which is FUCKIN SCARY! i gave a cola a slight squeeze last night, they are as dense as baseballs, already packing some huge weight, I'm really keen to see this grow finish up.
The resin on this plant is tough as nails, the nugs themselves feel almost plastic to touch, extremely sticky, highly aromatic. I Think the net should be ok where it is, there are a few colas fallin over at the back, i think they'll be ok

so 2 weeks give or take a few days. it will be under 60 days flowering, which i'm stoked about

Not long left at all! Times flys man, feels like this whole grow has been like a month haha
Exactly why i run the system i do :) I'm not sure there are many out there getting around a lb from 1 plant in under 3 months!!
soo fast it's like i haven't even been around to grow it. i just poke my head in now and then and don't even realize how big she is until about now. Pinecone size nugs is a good size up at the moment. aslong as she doesnt do the whole foxtail turn around and keep growing trick, i'll be 100% happy! i'm loving the look of this strain tropical looking ;)

Well, running an UC system will do just that and then some!
Oh.... and I haven't been above 500ppm so far! :)

beautiful work Slanty :) i would say i'd be well over 1000ppm, cycos nutes naturally go quite high at the normal dose. not sure if its different in a recirculating system, as i know bugger all about the differences!

awesome healthy roots, just awesome!

Yeah... I can say that normally running the old NFT style grow I was doing, I would be well over 1000ppm(more than likely ~1200ppm range)! This UC style is rocking it and then some after I got the root issues dialed in! The plants are drinking like no tomorrow and everything can be monitored with ease! I love running the Heisenberg Tea and can't say enough about how well it works!

The proof is in the pudding, and I am utterly amazed at how little nutrients this system needs to keep the plants happy!

I will do some comparison pictures next round to see how they do against your perilite hempy style.

The one plant I had in there as a small clone this past month has flourished even though I was having pythium issues! I have truly found an insane pheno of this g13xhaze I will keep forever! The plant is about 8-10x as big in just 4 weeks even though having root issues!(I am being modest)

Cheers Slanty :) I too have used alot less nutrients this grow, topping up with fresh water when needed, and if i noticed her vigor dropping i added more food, going on instinct, getting to know how to read the plants characteristics.

I can't believe it, day 37 already!!! If there are some pros out there they are free to give me an idea of how far along they think she is...She's a new strain to me but i'm loving her bigtime

I remembered to take some flash off pics for you guys give you an idea of the colours you can get with just the uvb + HPS lighting, quite a nice effect once you get the exposure times sorted out. ( also tricky 1 handed leaning into the tent trying to pick a nice cola to show off! )

The pics with the real fresh bright greens in them are 'flash off pics'



She's a beast!



Flash off pics..........



Flash on now .......

awesome flo, you must be getting anxious now. Do you cure before smoking? how long for?
i'm pretty chilled at the moment!! had a few hashies lol!
I cure for weeks and weeks lol, my main cure is done after they feel 90% crispy, then they all go into large sealed jars to cure. I air them all night and seal them and put them in the dark all day. repeat every day for atleast 7-14 days to make sure there is no moisture left. i still air cure my jars now, every few weeks i'll tip it out into a large bowl for 10 minutes, then seal it all back up. Most of this is Perso smoke, so i care for every crumb :) and dry as slow as possible.

thats the way to do it brotha man , too many people are worried about smoking or selling the shit to let it do its thing ... nothing worse than a not properly dried bud :( , also ever heard of water curing? i think people that put there fine buds into water to cure are Fing crazy haha but to each there own i guess :D

i successfully water cured some outdoor nugs last year, and was really disappointed by the smell and taste. Yeah it still worked, but it lost 99% of it's original character. It felt fake. If you absolutely had to if you had un-flushed or crappy erb, but in my opinion it destroys nearly all the things i like about erb. Taste, smell, flavour.....potency was probably the same, smoother but tasteless smoke and it smoked alot quicker. It was a good experiment anyway, but the erb to begin with was killer so it was hard to justify. It even loses it's sparkliness which i try to preserve in the first place

Looking at those latest pictures FM, I would say you will be harvesting in the 50-55 day range! The tricomes are definitely looking cloudy, so you are in the final stretch I would say!:eyesmoke:

i hope you mean 'girls' as in buds.....not plants ;) this is only 1 plant keep in mind
but cheers , she looks like she's panning out now, and in her last filling out stages, this is where things start to get really heavy, already the colas are un-sqeezable, very dense, tight, compact resinous buds....looking very forward to sharing this

lol, all good mate, i just like to inspire people :) If this turns out super tasty this could turn a few growers around and help achieve a simple effective cheap system, and maybe try growin with perlite, alot easier than people think
