hey your plants look great! i m from argentina and am also growing a BB. will you be kind enough to stop by my journal? i d appreciate your tips. its three weeks into flowering. thing is on december 23rd we put it 12 12 but with a 250 watt hps and on jan 12 we bought a 400 watt so i m not sure if i should count flower days from the day we switched to the better hps or from the first. ISNT IT CRAZY HOW THEY GROW AT "NIGHT"?

oh and regarding your question, the more ambar they turn the more slow motion the high will be. harvest some of it fresh, its more psicodelic!!!

How it going Damargentina..
Gunna check out your grow in a bit......always happy to try and help..
Count your flowering days from the day you switched to 12/12..
I love seeing the difference when I turn the lights on in the morning!
alot of people say that the plant does not grow at night.... that is not true!

Happy growing

aight, yah the pistils do too grow at night, just put the ladies to slumber... and that stinky rich smell fills my nostrils....well looking forwarding to seeing u stop by my posts, nice bushy plants man! do you think mine are on the way to look like that??!

If I could give you advise is that the BB is a 8-9 weeker for sure . If it looks done it is, I waiteed for trichs to go amber and the ratio to be right and I over did it . I went more like 11 weeks, one plant started to go south, I think she was over done. The smoke suffered cause of it. The other was and is a thing of beauty. When I grow her again I will flower 9 weeks max with the Big Bang From GHS.

Wow - is pretty much all i can say joe, and your not wrong about how quickly its gone - has it really been nine weeks!!!

I have received my replacement seeds from GHS - along with some free merchandise. but leaves me the dilema of having plants at different stages if i start them off now. I might germinate 2 seeds and put 1 in my cabinet and the other straight under the HPS and see the difference in growth rate.

Anyway, enough about me this is your thread and you have definately pulled off a blinding grow mate - nice one.

I would think that the worms that you have (if you're getting your water from a rain water barrel) are mosquito larvae. Everything looks good. Hope it worked out for you.

Day 64 today..
I have gone ahead and cut off the main cola from the right hand girl... and i'm glad i did because the bud underneath the cola is very light coloured.. it feels ok, and is covered in trichs but it just doesn't look right at all.. i've cut the buds off that look weird and i've got them in seperate plastic box's....(lids off of course.. )
i've got a two branches and the main cola hanging in my dry box, with a fan moving the air about.. (indirect).. everything went really well and i'm glad the cola came off.. it looks ready..

I'm going to probably trim a few more branches tomorow as i ran out of time... it was one of those, shall I, shan't I situations and then when i did finally cut, the funny looking bud lay underneath....

some pics for y'all..
in a couple of the pics you can see what i mean by 'light coloured bud'.. these have been removed off the plant..

Thanks for the pics man...
Tried to +rep but it seems i have to spread some round first..
I've just cut a few branches off... 9 weeks and 1 day.. the main cola looks great man, very happy now i did cut..
My other one is definatly going to have to carry on a few more weeks though.. but she is getting fatter and fatter!

Thanks man..
Great to hear you got your seeds man..
they kept their word, fair play..
and the freebies! they may just get an email from me..
I'll post you a link when i start my next adventure.. still got this one to finish yet though..

I know how you feel about the different stages of growth etc.. i wish i could harvest both of these at the same time.. then i could dry inside my tent and save the effort of setting up my dry box..

wow joe the pic with the bottle o coke looks amazing

well done all the buds look amazing and big .

how was the small bud you cut off a few days ago ?

I like what you did G4J! You chopped the top cola and then gave the lower buds time to fill out! Genius!

Awesome!
What would you say the ratio of brown/white pistils is on the one that still has some time to go?


P.S.I remember having a lot of lime green colored buds from the big bang as well.

I was looking for something that would measure up and the coke bottle was just sittin there..the rest is history..
The little bud i cut was good man.. didn't taste half as bad as i thought it would.. wasn't a knock you on your arse weed, it hits after about 10 minutes and is really relaxing.. made my eyes real tired after about half hour but it didn't last very long.. lets hope the last week they have strengthened up abit!

Thanks Weedy..
I can't take all the credit though cause i got the idea from LuckyDog..
The lower buds are already hogging the light!

Honestly, i could probably count on my two hands the number of hairs that have turned brown! really is taking a lot longer than her sis.. the trichs are really starting to form on her now though..

A couple of small buds i cut off one of the branches are a little bit lime green coloured.. they still smell great, althought the main cola is beggining to smell like hay, but i should think when its all jarred and curing those lovely BB smells should return..

65 days since 12/12..
Just a quick update.. tried to do it last night but my PC waited for me to write up everything and then cut me off!

Anyway.. The buds that are hanging are drying well, apart from a little bit of a grassy smell they all seem great.. the cola has shrunk! Its such a shame to see all that weight dry up!
The smells should return when i start to cure dem..
The lady on the left is still pushing out new growth! and the girl on the right is loving the light.. the buds are getting bigger. gonna chop that in the next couple of days though.. and keep the left hand girl up...

I'll update with todays post bit later on..

looks good per usual joe!
congrats on the cola harvest buddy

Thanks man..
Can't wait to get it all in jars and looking sweet!

66 days since the switch..
Everything is going well..
The hanging buds are drying really nicely and slow.. which is good..
The little tiny buds at the bottom of the dry box smell really sweet and are almost dry! (they are small ) Mmmm..... Sample buds.. ::

oh mate cant wait to hear final weight on all o those lovely sweet looking buds
got some new pics up on my grow
if mine grow to be anythin like that a will be over the moon

got to say tho big those look stunning

Man,you weren't joking!That plant does still have a couple of weeks to go.
If I remember correctly none of mine ever took longer than 9 weeks.I'm pretty sure it was 9 weeks the first time,then the second time around they were done in 8(the second time all plants were the same phenotype).
Hopefully that pheno makes up for it's long flowering time in potency.

Them buds look sweet G4J a lot better looking than mine turned out ,Try and cure as long as you can I smoked mine before it cured enough

This is a little off topic but...........
I was wondering how the hell do you quote so many people in one post?
If you're wondering what I'm talking about,you did it in post #430.
The most I can quote is one person.
Thanks man
