Master Kush

A++++
im jelous of your master kush.

Yeh i think your gonna run out of room to grow...dont worry just like me!

Im also using PK13/14(among other stuff), are you using it throughout your entire flower cycle?

All but 1 of my clones have started showing roots, and the straggler has little white bumps all over... its just about ready.

jUzSmokEIt - I have been using the PK13/14 since starting the flowering cycle; I am going to use it for about 2 more weeks before I change my resevior to plain old tap H2O for finishing.

Wow that is interesting you are using it for most of your cycle. I was just unsure if i should use it more the recommended. On the back of the bottle is was saying do not use it for then a week! (unless i have read wrong) and then my hydro guy said no more then two weeks. Was just curious why this was the case and concerned if i was to use it more. obviously no drama's?

jUzSmokEIt: I am going to be using it until the last week or so, then I'll flush/finish with just h2o.

I burned some of the tops. Goddamn it. They just got too damn tall. I vegged 'em to long. Whatever. I fuckin' burned some tops. DAMN.

They are getting over it, and have responded well, but this was a tough ass lesson to learn for me - when using the Homebox grow tent, vegg until 14"-18" tall. Good lesson though.

Other than the burns (ha ha... fucking bullshit!) the ladies are kicking ass. They are plenty green, and they are popping out buds. I used some twine and tied them up some to limit their movement & keep them from falling over. Maybe a few more weeks until it is time to dry & cure. We'll see what the trichs say about that though...

I am thinking my next grow will only be 8/10 plants to allow the plants to get some more width/volume. 12 seems a little thin, at least from where I am sitting.

That said, all 16 of my cutting took root. 100%. Nice. So I wrapped them in grodan plugs, dropped them into grodan 4x4x4s, and into the vegg chamber they go. I am hoping to move 4-8 of them...(or maybe when bloom cycle comes around 8 will get the 600w HPS, 8 will get the 400 MH... still unsure).

So... how bad did I screw up?

Everything looks good man. I am thinking about getting a homebox. My homemade growbox aint so hot...well...Anyway! Very nice so far! BTW how much room do you have from the floor to the lights?

Thanks for the reply/question without flaming me for burning my ladies. Still bummed on that...

I have 46" (just shy of 4 feet) of height from the bottom of the flood tray to the reflector glass (with the reflector pulled up as high as it can go). I know I can grow very successfully with my set up... its the nuiances and fine tuning (aka experience) I need now.

Dont get down on your self man your doing great! Shit happens! Your ladies look fantastic.

So I am done being mad at myself.
I don't think they look bad... they are starting to get frosty!
Day 27 of flowering... almost 4 full weeks!
Its supposed to be 8-10 weeks, start to finish... I am getting close!

Looking nice. Sorry Greyskull I cannot remember if you started from seed or not.

Its all good in the hood! I grew these babies from clones.

Sweet. I'll bet they're just covered in crystal. mine are from seed and at nearly 5 weeks veg they are already starting to get quite sticky.

I had a problem with some spider mites. I got the neem, and the Dutch Master Penetrator mixed up, and hit the ladies to rid the pests. I was smoking some nice Sweet Midnight Haze - too much of it to be tending to my plants. Anyhow, I forgot to add the aqua. The flowering plants are okay, but the clones I took got rocked... bad. I had to kill them.*I have since started a new grow of 14, which I is here:

But here's the flowering ladies now. Started 4/28...

We took down the ladies today. Just my girl and I... I forgot how much work harvesting & manicuring is. 11 plants.

We're going to be drying them in a couple of wardrobe boxes, using some funky little squid contraption we found at Ikea.

It has been hella hot the past week or so... hopefully the plants will be dry in 4/5 days. Then it is curing time....

How'd we do?

is that all of the 11 plants in that 1 picture?
in those two boxes?

what was the humidity during the last 3 weeks of flowering?
I am on week 5 and my humidity is usually around 60.
i bought a dehumidifier, but doesnt seem like its doing much.
i am worried about bud rot, badly.

Yeah, it's a lot of hard work all that manicuring. Taking lots of clones can be back breaking work too.

Wait a sec'. You've harvested? That bud doesn't look ready. Should've left it another week.

They grew really tall and thin, not short & stout, in a 3x3 tray.

I think I'll get 4z's for sure though, easy... I'd be surprised if it ends up more than 8z's.

There are some nice nuggs... not as many as I'd like to have though. This was my first grow in 5 years... this next grow I'd doing will be FIM'd to increase the number of tops.
