HUMBOLT, I just saw your picture of your Decorated Plant, I think My neighbor heard me laughing. That is such a pretty site. You should make that you avatar until after the first of the year.

Most definiately looks better with out the funky top.

Great job. And you made me smile big time.. Thanks.......:peace::peace:

Heya friend, long time.

Everything looks amazing, and yes, you better harvest that little hoe soon. She looks pretty much good to go from my point of view.

What type of mollases did you use btw?

I am NO clone master but thanks again, the soil is cheap natures with perlite mix, simple however it's been working, I started out with black gold but this natures seems to do just as well at half the price....




Thanks dangly for visiting, very good idea concerning using small as my avatar, wish I would of thought of that.lol. lil late I am but at least I have a special xmas avatar for next year.. again thanks!

PS: interesting avatar..




Thanks crazy!




Thanks bongspit, I'm thinking pulling them asap as I'm having a hard time finding a clear hair on the two (bushy and small) I wish the buds would have filled out better but I'm happy and will end up with lots to smoke..




There's G, yeah it's been awhile hasn't it, must of been pretty busy with the holidays and all, speaking of .. how was yur xmas?

I'm using grandmas molasses, however I heard blackstrap is the best..... I couldn't find any near me so I went with good ole grandmas, I'm thinking any molasses will do....







Bout time I made mediocre flush with six gallons of water..




Mediocre is a bit behind, she will be all alone after few days, I plan on centering her under all the lights the best I can until I harvest her, then I'm going to use the room to veg the bubblegum, by all rights I should be flowering more to keep on schedule but as some knows I had a hard time with the cloning... as I see it after this harvest and the next in about a month I will have plenty of weed to keep me happy until I get this rotation down..


Before,




Less color than bushy and small, very odd as Iv'e fed mediocre nutes sooner and more of it.

After,




I am going to be harvesting bushy and small asap, would of done it tonight but can't .. not until my family comes and goes new years eve, it smells good enough as it is and barely covering it up..

In the next few days I am going to be reading more on harvesting.. I pretty much have a plan but still need to explore a few more details, in the mean time can anybody tell me what's the best route to take .. cutting or pulling plant out to hang? I was told to rip, pull, tare the whole plant roots and all then hang upside down in a room with the temp around 60f with a fan running.. does this sound good, or can someone that has already harvested share how they did it and how it went?

Final Note: I wish that the branches/buds had filled in more but unfortunately they didn't, I am a bit disappointed and would like to keep them flowering longer but as stated before I am having a hard time finding a fresh hair, I'm flat out scared .. I do have four other girls that are about half done and I'm thinking about letting one of them go for a full nine weeks or more, would be nice to see how far I'm able to push it...






Until Next Time!

That's a great idea on the Avatar, love it!

This grow has been great to follow, I can't wait to follow you through harvest as I'm just a couple weeks behind on my first go of plants.

Thanks for the pics, great job!

Not all molasses is the same. From the wiki: The third boiling of the sugar syrup gives blackstrap molasses. The majority of sucrose from the original juice has been crystallized but blackstrap molasses is still mostly sugar by calories[1]; however, unlike refined sugars, it contains significant amounts of vitamins and minerals. Blackstrap molasses is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. One tablespoon provides up to 20 percent of the daily value of each of those nutrients.[2][3] Blackstrap is often sold as a health supplement, as well as being used in the manufacture of cattle feed, and for other industrial uses.

Health food stores are a good source for the product

I'm still debating blackstrap vs fish emulsion.

can you use both? i used emulsion in veg and blackstrap in flower with a slight pinch of emulsion added in the water sometimes in flower.

yes...I agree seems like there is a benefit to added nitrogen mid bloom/flower....that helps the bloom size/weight....but I could be wrong...

I've used fish emulsion but never molasses. When I did use the emulsion, applied in the bud stage, deff made a difference by about 10~15%

Thanks tahoe,




Thanks Rocky it was danglys great idea to make it my avatar, also stay tuned harvest is just around the corner..




Thanks for the info on the molasses Granfather, why not use both molasses and emulsion, I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt... health food stores, duh why didn't I think of that... question, doesn't the emulsion stink when applying it to the plants, I heard the soil with stink as well...




Thanks sexy, that sounds about right, yes it was very stressful but I'm more at ease now... hope these bubblegum make it so I can try my hand on cloning them, I heard that some strains are more difficult to clone than others, I'm hoping the bubblegum is one of the others..




Blackstrap in flower, please elaborate, sounds interesting..j /k I use corn starch myself..




I'm not certain if by adding the molasses helped or not as I really don't know what to look for but I can say this .. the molasses doesn't hurt them any.. I think I will stick with molasses and I do want to try the blackstrap now that I know where to find it:mrgreen: also I'm thinking about not feeding molasses to one of the bubblegum, for my own satisfaction...




Thanks robbie, I've been sampling and they great, the harvest will be in a few days so stay tuned!




I may or may not be around for the next few days but definitely will be harvesting bushy and small new years eve or day .. not sure yet but you will get the whole harvest, will try not to leave anything out! from cut to dry, weight to taste.. yes this means I will be documenting the curing process as well..




Until Next Time!




PS: For those who don't know yet, we now have a cfl sub forum located in "Indoor Growing" HOOAH!!
