its all about the trichs man. unless youre poor like me and cant afford weed then you harvest early lol. im plannin to chop one of mine this weekend. its been 7 weeks i figure its good enough to smoke by 8. oh yeah lookin good there hayduke. the zombies finally coming to life!! haha i might have to try that with some of mine. i dont see why not. actually i was thinking just chopping the main colas first and letting the bottom buds fill out some more. theyre not lookin like very much at the moment.

Thanks guys! Nice Divine, I checked your journal to see if there was a new pic, I will try to find you other post...Harvest time! I am jealous!

DK, If you got the space I would. I would save your skywalker for sure! she looks yummy and her genetics are pricey I think?

yeah skywalker was the most expensive i believe. $75 or so for 5 fems. the NL was damn expensive too which is disappointing since its turned out to be shit. not sure what the hell went wrong with it but its practically dead now and barely flowered at all. i think it will have to be chopped this weekend regardless. i updated earlier if you care to take a look

plants looking real green and healthy. my lower leaves have turned yellow on most of the plants i have grown. can't wait to see the good when finnished.

Thank you sir! All 10 RD clones have rooted and 8 transplanted to 3" rockwool and 2 to soil (the shittiest ones that I will probably keep) 4 of the K-train have been trans. into rockwool and the other 6 will be ready in a day or two. The new 8 RD cuttings look healthy.

I was stressing a bit because I think I waited too long to flower. these girls are monsters! They were up to 22" and I really don't want them more than 28". So I decided I was not going to let these bitches push me around, and did some more LST and got them down to 16" with lots of nice tops. The stress also slows them down a little and in this case that is a good thing! I picked up Beastie Bloomz and will add this to the FF nute schedule.

so how easy is it to clone these bitches?? i didnt even bother this time round, i got some new ones goin though that are 3 weeks old now and will for sure see what i can do about taking clones from some of those..

Hell if I can do it...It is very easy, I had cuttings that I through away and later found they had rooted in the trash bag. I also put cuttings in water like cut flowers and they rooted in 14 days. 5-10 in media. Rockwool works much better than soil.

hahaha you threw them away and they still rooted in the garbage?? thats hilarious. i guess i could give it a shot then if all you had to do was throw them in a fuckin trash can.

Today I traded 8 red diesel and 10 kush x trainwreck clones for: 3.5g Afghani, 3.5g GDP, 3.5g Purple OG Kush to my 215 collective grow! I forgot to take pictures...I transplanted the 1.5" cube into 3" cubes, some already had roots to the bottom of the 3" cubes, looked a little rough on top but are growing and will be good. They were 2 weeks old today. I have 8 more RD that are 1 week from cuttings. Put two sorry looking ones from the last batch into FFOF, they are pulling through also. This kind trade with what I already have will get me half way to harvest.

the 3 Red Diesels are 10 days into flower. I started tiger bloom and open sesame with the big bloom (so much for organic, but close I hope). I am hoping I wont get another burn, but feel like I am walking a fine line. I do water only between feedings, 3-5 days between waterings. I found a new (to me) hydro store within 2 miles of my house. They are cheaper than the other by far and on Sat. and Wed. they make up a big batch of worm casting hume tea and give out free gallons, so next water only will probably be this tea (no NPK value). The 3 RD have taken over the flower box width wise also. I will still cram the K-train in on Fri. or Sat., should be interesting.

The K-train is ~18" with several large branches with so many nodes they look like colas already. They are too heavy to support themselves well and will be staked or tied up somehow. The KT mom is ready to give more clones soon.

The headband re-veg (zombies) have come around and are near ready for cuttings. will probably put to flower after taking some cuttings in a few weeks.

Got e-mail reply from collective grow; happy with clones and willing to trade more. I have 8 RD clones that are nicer than the first. roots through bottom of 1.5" cube in 7-8 days! I will keep 1-3 of these as I have taken some from all 3 that are now in flower. They all have diff traits in growth and flower, and probably in smoke. I have 2 in red cups (worst of the first batch) which are doing well. they are all from #4 so may not keep new clones from her, though she is the fastest to flower. Nice clones from #1 and #3 (#1= narrow leaves, #3= fat shiny leaves, slow to flower, excellent shape and health, #4 very fat leaves very long petioles, showed sex in 3 days and is way ahead of other two [even though all back to veg after sexing for several weeks]).

Cool weather and latest version of cooling make for perfect temps even if I don't open box when lights come on. Fighting the summer heat has made heat a non issue. I can even turn on heat in my house now (6!

Pics: 1-3= Red diesel in flower, 4 = headband re-veg, 5= RD4 clones in red cups, 6-8= kush x trainwreck (1,2,mom) 9-10= 1 week old RD clones

lookin good dood!

Thanks Divine. The 3 Red diesels in their second week of flower have taken over flower box. I had to tie down tops again to slow vertical growth and to fill in small gaps in the now solid canopy. I am some how going to cram the Kush x trainwreck into the flower box this weekend. They will have to be supported somehow as their branches are heavy and they make a wide foot print. I should have flowered these much sooner. I need more space! Oh and my new hydro shop is so great! will match any price even on-line, free ballast repair (parts only) Free worm poo/Alaskan hume oil tea twice a week, lots of stock, kind people, and the dead playing in the background. Bought a pH meter for $55 out the door. Nice toy. I tested some adjusted pH water that I adjusted using the drops test kit, and I have been over by .5 on three separate batches. Color is subjective.

Hey dood... I'm only using a 400w HPS. (MH for veg) I was originally going to order the 600w but got worried about heat at the last minute. I thought I was going ot upgrade for grins, but now I dont know that I will be doing this beyond two more batches. I'll do it again someday, but I do want to get a house somewhere else and move sometime in the next year or so.

And if I got those results with the 400w... who needs it anyway?? lol

Very nice to know! nice new avatar!

lol thanks... I couldn't resist making one out of that pic.

Kush x Trainwreck mom is in back left. Lightening in color again with the little rough leaves. I think this is a zinc def. related to mag/cal and maybe pH out of range (high). I re-potted her today into 6 liter pot and will water with 1t grow big and 1.5t big bloom with a pH around 6. Head band re-veg in back right, same feeding tonight. Red diesel clones in front, rockwool ones need a home as well as the 2 in red cups on right. Keeping the middle 3. They are 1 each of the 3 phenos in flower.

The KT were added to the flower box. They were so wide with heavy branches they were hanging out of the already over-crowded flower space. The 18" long branches will be very heavy when flowered so I needed to somehow stake up. After much thought I decided to use the DIYer's best friend, Sch 40 PVC pipe. I used 1/2" and drilled and screwed them to the pots so I can move them around easy. As they grow sections can be added to the top. Seems to work well, although the 1/2" pipe creates more shade than I would prefer. (though the last grow, the best looking buds were always growing under the shade of a leaf, what few I had!). These 2 grew 6", on some branches, in the veg box during the last 2 weeks.

Pics are KT #1, #1's top, KT #2, #2's top. pics 5 and 6 are them last week.

These bitches are out of control. I have done some more LST on #1 an #4 (middle and right in box) The canopy is pretty well full with lots of shade below. This box really does not have room for 6 this big, it is full with the 3 Rd if not pushed against back wall. Oh, well I can't think of any other solutions other than trying to manage them and not veg this long in the future...or bigger space. The KT were screaming to let them flower, so I really can not just let the three RD girls take up the whole space.

Pics: RD #4, #4 top, #4 main cola, #1, #1 top, #1 main cola, #3, #3 big leaves, All

DAMN!! id say youre runnin outta room there haha. max capacity for sure. tho i dont suppose they shall get much bigger, being 3 weeks into flower. then again ive seen crazier shit from you. how are the zombies?? i chopped my NL and Cali Indica today, try and get an update goin tomorrow

I was just thinking this was about harvest time for you and that's why you have been quiet. Look forward to your update.

Zombies are doing good ready for cuttings in a couple of weeks. I think I will put one into the flower box rotation in 2 more weeks, there is almost room for one more plant no bigger than the KT in the PVC trellis frame. Probably need to think about re-potting them. They are in 3qt pots that are not full. You can kinda see them in post #235, they are the 3 black pots in the back/right.

ah i see, they look like they got some green on them now haha. so youre going to take clones off of them? i should probably do that with my next ones. the next crop is about a month old now and startin to take off. choppin the skywalker this weekend then the purple wreck a week later, which are actually starting to turn purple now
