I think you might be slightly confused bro. The giant K behind the lights are the temp color, the lumens are the intensity in a way. Usually in veg you'll have a more blue looking light from 5000K all the way to 10,000K I've seen. When I veg under High Intensity Discharge or H.I.D. I like to use a 7200K Metal Halide I found from Plantmax I think it is. When I flower I use 600 Watt High Pressure Sodium. It's a digital Ballast from Lumatek, and you can dim it to 360W 400W 600W, and super lumens that kicks it up 15%. If you're flowering under T5 lights you want to find some 2700K lights for your flowering, and some 5000K or above for vegging. It's all about personal preference, and the change you have to throw into your garden. I have a square meter that I work with for flowering. My veg area is just a little bigger space, that I'm actually utilizing. You don't need alot of space to get started, and to keep a garden going you'll end up taking every nook, and cranny you have, and turning them into grow spots. If you veg, and flower in the same spot you can save yourself alot of time, and trouble.

If you have any more questions feel free to drop em in here bro, no problems. I'm kinda busy on, and off line, but when I'm on here I'll answer your questions. Have a blessed weekend guys. Peace and Love.

I heard that your " MYCOMASTER THE GOD OF WEED " Sure do appreciate the help, thank you...

That's very flattering bro, thank you for that! I'm in no way a God of our fine herb though, just a very enthusiastic patient trying to get the meds WE all deserve. One thing I will always have time for, is somebody nicely asking questions on how to get their setup rockin hard nugs. You definitely came to the right place man. Hamish can get your fungi rockin, Gandalf can dose em with TEA's that are like friggin steroids, and me...well I like to take pictures of my ladies to show people what true organics can do for your garden. Everybody has a role around here it seems, what would you like yours to be Applepie? BTW, your avatar is pretty hilarious man! I even put down my joey's in those situations, LOL. Peace and Love.

One day bro we're gonna be smoking a blunt of Cindy99, slicked up with some Engineers Dream oil, and listening to some Floyd. There are so many EPIC smoke sessions ahead of us man, I can't even start to imagine. I'll be coming over your house trying to impress you with stuff, and you'll be coming over mine to try, and blow me away with something. Our wives are gonna think we're idiots, but it's gonna be alot of fun! I hope you come over alot bro, it'll probably be the only legitimate break I get from the baby, LOL. I'm getting so curious about that kid, I'm about to put a fish finder on ****, and see what the hell's in there man. That doc has no idea what he's in for next time I see him. I'm gonna completely inundate him with an extra week of questions now. I hope his schedule is clear next time, ROFL.

I was hoping you were gonna fix my garden when I got up there? We'll both be working on each others gardens bro, that's what's gonna make them so unbelievable! We're going to be able to reach a level of Dank many strive for, but never achieve unfortunately. With our willing to grow any strain on the planet, we're gonna come up with some mind blowing crosses. I love to grow strains nobody has heard of, and spreading the word. I can't wait to pop my AC/DC, and Orig Thai Haze x Skunk#1. They might flower for 4 months, but I get in things for the long haul, LOL.

I think it's time for some Nina Simone? You know that's a joey rght?[video=youtube;QH3Fx41Jpl4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH3Fx41Jpl4[/video]Peace, Love, and POWER!

EDIT: BTW my wife plays this Piano piece like nobody's business!

This is the theme song to my wife's second favorite movie of all time. The Thomas Crown Affair. I love this tune. I have no trouble at all thinking Nina was a smoker of the dank.

DEFINITELY try out the mainlining! I've gotten into it now too... The mums are LOVING it, I'm getting such uniform, even shoots all over the place, two weeks from now I'll be living in Clone City... I'm starting to get as much suitable shoots off one plants as I used to get off 3. 6 plants are filling up close on a square metre in the flowering room, each making between 6 and 12 COLAS. I am upgrading my veg space. New fans etc coming early next month. I am more than impressed with the results. Going to stagger a new 4-week cycle in between cloning and flowering, adding 4 weeks veg, going ORGANIC SoG but instead of little one-cola plants I'm going the mainline/LST route. I am definitely getting more bud per square this way bro.

I apologise for the repeat pic, but this is 4 plants... Veg time 3 weeks... There's one tall one at the back that I am not counting, that one was flowered SoG style to do the comparison, guess you guys can tell I really compare stuff side by side OFTEN LOL...

You converted me to living soil, and Myco converted me to LST/Mainline... Between the two of you you brought a whole new level to my grow...

The only way to get better at what you do is to try new techs. I really appreciate your dedication to get the absolute best meds you can get Hamish. You're always doing the side by side comparisons, and stepping into the light of a better way of doing things. You're always pushing for something better, and it's very inspirational bro. You can double post pics like that all day long, no problems.

Gandalf put up the Legend of the Chemdawg strains last night, and it was a really fun read. Funny how you can pick up a bag of smoke, and inside are some of the best genetics on earth in seed form, LOL.

I really like Latin music Slip, if you want to call it that. When my wife started to take Spanish classes, and I started to learn what some of these folks were saying in their songs my heart really opened up to them in spades. Every person every where has something to say, we just have to have an open mind to listen. Peace and Love.

If I get more than 7 grams from my hydro experiment I will be shocked. It was always about seeing if they would live through it. It is bringing me seeds of the KM x DB and KM x Alex. That's better than anything.

For one, Gandalf you're a complete BAD @$$ man. You have got to be the most respectful, and honorable person I know. And 2, sending +rep's to my pregger wife for just being who she wants to be, is friggin killer dude! I'll show her later after she gets home from being out with her mom.

I'm with you on your hydro experiment too, those seeds are way more precious than any flowers that were created, not the point. The seeds on the other hand are the next generation, and are peaking my curiosity! I can't even say one more than the other cause both are so potentially mind blowing. OK, the Day Breaker x Kali mist cross is gonna keep me up nights after seeing your pics yesterday. Comin in here tellin me not to up-load pics for 2 weeks, and your posting that over n your thread, you monopolizing S.O.B.

Oh, BTW, anyone that can sing with their SOUL like Nina S. smokes HERB! All the great jazz musicians did. That's where that wonderful word GAGE comes from! I know you know that, I just wanted others too. Have a blessed day EVERYONE! PEACE and LOVE! oh and one last POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the Green Poison I've been growing. I was looking her over again, and after finding fault in my last description of her trich's I thought I should post my dumb @$$ mistake. I noticed that when I looked over her last time I got busy, and I just checked the one flower.......! Now that I've noticed the mistake I wanted to make you guys aware of it as not to think ill of the strain. The flower that I checked is a freak out of the bunch anyways, LOL. Seriously, the rest of the plant s looking really nice, WTF? She has taken on an early fade, but has matured nicely on her trch's. She's milky everywhere. I think she's actually developed along real even.


She smells like canna candy, has a stickiness like super glue, and has finished as fast as lightning. I'll post some scents that I get when she has her trim. Have a great evening folks. I know I will. Peace and Love.

I cut my GP last night. I'll try and post up a picture tonight. Beautiful work Myco. What's funny is that our pictures seemed similar in the maturity so when I read you thought they were ready I thought "it's time".

It's really flattering that you would put that kind of trust in me. I hope I didn't lead you too far astray on that one bro. This is really a great plant IMO. She swelled up perfectly when it was time, and her scents are quite sublime along with her frostiness. Granted she's not the frostiest in the kingdom like Cinderella, but she is still very stunning. I have to say from the smells I was getting during her chop she has some Skunk in her somewhere, but who knows for sure. She definitely had a very nice classic dank smell to her, very sweet, and candy like with some fruit in it too. The most strong scent she displayed was an overall sweet/skunkiness. I have her drying in 2 different manners. I took some of her stems, trimmed them regularly, and put them on my screens. The others, I didn't trim yet, and I'm going to do them after their dry. I"ll keep them separate afterwards, and see which is better once, and for all for myself. I keep hearing dry trimming is alot better, but more of a PITA of course. I never trim anyways, but the person who does doesn't care either way, so I want to find out which gives you a better end product.

My Cindy99 looks to be 100% complete right now. Her trichs have been scoped, and tracked for 5 days in a row now with both my handheld, and usb magnifiers. I have always pulled her at day 52 with the exception of one time I let her go for 70 days. All she did was foxtail a bunch, and turned into something like friggin opium mixed with ether, it wasn't pretty smoking it unless you were already in bed. I do have to say the colors she took on with the 70 days was amazing, but she's already HIGH TIMES worthy as she's sitting IMO. Today is day 47 for her, and Sunday will be day 52. I will definitely be pulling her then. By her looks I could go do it now, but I think my patience will pay off as her speed in turning her clear trichs milky is nuts right now, and a small window will see her cure out quite a bit. She is quite amazing the way she's turned so milky without much amber at all. She seems to have the ability to delay that process at will, at least for a short while, letting her mature at a rate that is very even, and median right where I like it. I love my Cindy folks!

Oh, and do I have to mention that I'll be making some oil soon, LOL! Oh yeah, more concentrates! The Green Poison didn't leave me with alot of trim, as she put her energy into flowers, and not a bunch of leafs, but what I did get smells heavenly, and should make good oil in the end. Like I said she smelled like a Skunk was in there somewhere, and my favorite oil is always from Skunk varieties so this should come out nice for me. Have a blessed day everyone. Peace, Light, and Love.

I was thinking that if the trichs change daily at harvest time, won't cutting a bit on the early side of things put us in a better zone since change will occur during drying. They still mature until dry. How far off am I on this one?

That's usually what I'm hoping for, yes. I always scope the day I chop, taking pics with my usb scope, and then try to shoot the same flower in the same spot, and I always notice maturation when drying, and curing. I'm pretty sure that trichome maturation is a chemical thing, and not something the plant is really doing. I think that the plat secretes the stuff, and after a certain level gets secreted it starts to have a reaction with the atmosphere such as Co2 and other stuff. Maybe after the trich matures so much it's waxy layer gets thinner, or old, and loses it's ability to protect the trich, and certain chemical changes happen. I could be way off, but something like that seems logical to me. Summing up, I'm certain you're dead on, unless we're drying our flowers wrong, LOL.

I'm gonna take some more shots of my Cindy99 today to show you guys what is going on under her canopy. I said this last time when pulling her out for shots, but never got good ones under her huge @$$ leafs. It's a whole other world down under there as I'll show you. In any other circumstance this plant would be pulled already, but I know for certain day 52 is IT! She has some of the most frosty underbelly with some of the most beautiful flowers underneath. After I get some lunch in me I'll take the pics, and show you guys some, Beautiful! Take care guys. Peace, Light, and Love.

I need a better scope. Mine was a cheap one off ebay. It is a total pain in the ass. I tried it like three times.

I picked up my scope at scamazon or greedbay for $10 delivered to my door. It's a carson micro max I think 60-100X zoom. My usb is a cheap barska 10-300X zoom. Both internet buys, and frugal ones at that, but are working great. The usb pics won't upload, but I'm looking into some software Hamish told me about. I miss HAMISH. The carson is the same one they advertise as the 420 scope, and works nice giving you a decent look at your trichs.

The Green Poison was actually perfect when I pulled it so you should be great there. Her, and the Cindy both mature beautifully with a very even move from clear into the milky. I think the G.P. has alot of potential to get some pretty big flowers too. She had nice bulk for me considering she had a zillion tops on her. I went a little crazy with her there I think, but she came through screaming if you ask me. Really nice plant, and I now see why Sweet Seeds wanted to get her known by giving some beans away. People always think the ones they give away are old, and crappy. While that is the circumstances sometimes, there are others where the breeders just want others to get a chance to grow something they think folks will come back,, and buy. Very simple marketing ploy. Plus a little love me thinks.

Off to take me some pictures I think. Peace, Light, and love.

OK folks here are some Cindy99 pics. I had to figure out what was happening in a couple of the pictures here, but it didn't take too long. If you notice in some of the pictures, there is a slight purple hue. It's the shop light I'm holding. It's such a white light, that it's hitting some of the darker purple leafs right, and it's throwing off a light purple on some of the trichs in the pics. It's bad @$$, and I'm sure some will say I'm using a purple light(where to get one?), but it's just a cool effect from the plant itself, LOL. I'll warn you now, if your a wet mouthed person, DO NOT LEAN OVER KEYBOARD. Safety first! ROFL! Anyways, here's the pics.


If you are now, not sold on this strain, you need to look at the pics again please, LOL. I really like how she's turned out, and couldn't be happier. This strain doesn't display beauty she throws it in your face, and tells you that you she's beautiful, and you love her, you know. Lots to do, I guess I should do some of it. Take er easy folks. Peace and Love.

What do I say? Killer. Just straight killer.

Thanks brother! Your really too kind!

I can't wait to gift you a cut, and a bud. Posting pics is cool, and all, but I wanna share some flowers already, LOL. I know why M4K over at Gage started working with some of these genetics. There's alot to work from honestly. I know it was a cross she was in actually, Cindy99 x G-13 Skunk, if I'm not mistaken, but this is pretty nice alone. Both of those strains I possess. I definitely will be making my own cross of that at some point I should think !

I really like your idea of an old school run too. Lots of Skunk's, and Northern Lights, and White's, maybe a couple Blueberry strains. I think it could be alot of fun, and bring someone back a little every time they medicate, you know. They were the greats of their era for a reason, and I think they still hold alot of potential. Lots of good genetics to work with for some crosses that's for damn sure.

I have strayed from my more organic grows of just very recent. I started getting worried I was losing out or some crap, and started going to the bottle when I didn't need it. My plants were doing just fine, but I had a mentality that they could maybe do better. I started hitting them with the bloom boosters, and other dumb crap, but wasn't thinking it through fully. Where I was still getting healthy plants, my soil was probably not as happy. I now have the soil I was using back into a tub, very slightly re-amended, and happily cooking away with extra mycos for a healthier soil. most of what I put back into it was ewc, and small amounts of bat guano, and chicken manure compost. I also put some crab meal in cause I have to put it outside, and I want chitin eaters in there thriving. I top dressed the Yumbolt47, and Iced Grapefruit today with quite a bit of soil, and mixed amendments, like epsoms, guano, ewc, and mycos. The soil I used was already amended, but I wanted a kick to get them all the way through flower with just water. Have a blessed day everyone.

Anyways, I'm gonna get back to getting to Maine, so I can make that smoke session happen real soon. One Cindy cut, and a phat bud coming right up...To Maine, LOL. Peace out man!

The frost is over the top on the cindy. Good job on the plant and photography to capture the resin glands.

I'm heading back a couple pages and catch up on my reading. Last I remember, you were thinking about moving and the great news about the baby. Hope you are feeling well and thanks for the comments earlier today, means a lot. Good peeps on here and my other threads that a very helpful and positive. What more could a closet grower ask for?

Thanks Prosperian, it's always nice when you come in to take a gander. It looks as if you had quite the harvest man, nice pull for sure. It blows my mind every time I see your pics, and think to myself "Tap water". I really dig the fact that you allow your soil to just do what it's suppose to do. It takes real patience, and self confidence in yourself, strain, and soil microbiology to be able to remove yourself like that from your grow. KUDOS, Brother!

I hear you about nice people making a good thing, Great! Alot of folks around here are a real benefit to me, and so many others to be honest. A couple of positive words can be just the right push to keep on track when you want to stray, or are having a rough time. I respect the few that can come in, and be positive, and keep it hat way. Too many folks get bent out of shape over the smallest things at times. I really try to just let people vent if they need to, but if it gets to be too much,"Add user to ignore list"! I don't like to exclude anybody, but sometimes you have to think about your own happiness, and put em on the list.

following your grow Pros was a real pleasure for me, no need for thanks brother, I should be thanking you for posting all those pics. BTW THANK YOU for that! Always beautiful!

I'm gonna do a step by step I think with my Cindy99 to show everyone what she looks like in, and out. I'll trim off her large fan leafs, take pics of that, since she has em covering everything that's beautiful. Then trim her bottom up showing what she is doing under there. she's definitely the most gorgeous plant I've pulled in quite some time, so I want to document her a bit. I told me trimming person I have this one, so I can do it MY WAY! I'm sure I'll be trimming her for hours, but I'll have scissor hash, LOL! I really want her tops looking like whats just under them, but she's getting pulled Sunday no matter what. I'm not letting her turn into a monster high like I did the one time letting her go longer. 70 days was waaaaayyyyyyyyy tooooooo long IMO! If you're looking for one of the most narcotic highs of your life, then this would be a good one for you, but at day 52 she's completely different, and so amazing in the head. When I said yesterday that she seems to be able to flip at will from clear/milky to amber almost overnight, I wasn't kidding. Day 52 seems to be where she lets go, and gets her amber going heavy.

Have a blessed day everyone! Peace, Light, and Love!

Tap water, yeah, go figure. I have some personal bench marks now and can make small adjustments from there. I'm thinking fish water next time. I have the 70 gallon fresh water fish tank that would be a perfect source of goodness for my indoor grow.

I really was skeptical the amended soil alone would keep up with the plants. Can I improve on this? I think so, with small changes that do not risk the crop for a couple extra buds at harvest. I'm limited by a 2' x 3' grow space too. That's probably a good thing when I think about it. I have stock piled enough bud to get through 2014 and I'm running my grow at an estimated 1.5 grams per watt.

My advice is pretty consistent, keep it simple, and stay out of the plant's way. Right or wrong, it works for me and it's how I learn what benefits my garden. Anyway, I really enjoyed your company along the way.
Happy Happy Happy

I've been trying for quite some time to get a picture to show you guys a little perspective on what the Cindy99 looks like on her side, but she always has large leafs in the way. I trimmed out a couple leafs, and took a single side pic. I think you'll like the pics i took today, but I apologize ahead of time as I'm a little shaky today for some reason. I have the J Fox shuffles, LOL. I have nothing but respect for M.J. Fox, so please don't think I'm insulting the man.

Iced Grapefruit

Yumbolt47
Cinderella99

The I.G. is starting to take one a real nice purple hue on her leafs now. My last I.G. was grown in the heat of the summer so didn't really get colorful, but it looks like this one is gonna be a beauty to grow. I was trying to get her all in a picture, but found it to be difficult in her position. She's a very large plant, and I'll be getting in there today putting in a bamboo support for her. I'm sure I can get away with just one because the way I supercropped her in veg.
The Yumbolt47 is doing great as well, putting on some nice weight now. Making a couple of dank towers was cool, but now the towers are filling in from the top down into huge colas! They're really quite amazing actually, the way they're coming together, merging into one large flower. I'm definitely getting more beans of this strain some time in the future. I like to buy a single every once in a while, just to see the potential of a strain I'm interested in. That's what this was, a single fem I thought I would roll the dice on, and am I happy I did!
Last, but not least is the Cindy. Like I said before the shots are shaky, but they still came out good enough to show you guys what I wanted to. This is a Nuclear weapon of a plant, no B.S. Forget about grenades for flowers, I'm thinking NUCLEAR WEAPONS, LOL! Have a blessed day everyone. Peace and Love.
