Rubbermaid CFL Buddha's Sister Scrimshaw grow.

Mooore photos, the first is a clone that is rocking and the second is a seedling.

Plants are looking good! Are you giving those babies any ferts yet? Looks like they might have some N deficiency.

Yep, ferts all around. added some pk-13-14 in small doses to my biggun's after feeding them with a 15-30-15 for the first few weeks of flower. Added a minimal amount of shultz to the seedling and clone.

Photos!

Forgot to add, this is week three of flowering.

Wow, they got a lot bigger! Looking healthier too

What can I say.. Nearly a month of flowering and another 6 six weeks to go at least. They are long and covered in pistils. I'm blown away by how well the cfl's have worked.

Nice!! They are looking great...aren't CFLs awesome??!!

I've been experimenting a fair bit with my plants lately.

Earlier in budding one of the tops shot up and was burnt, I clipped the burnt section off and figured fuck. There goes one pretty Cola. Not so, after a week I noticed that three smaller tops had formed and are now fairly large and still growing. I called it Triceritopping, because well. Dinosaurs.

I have been crimping stems as well so as to lower their height and to increase the nutrient uptake to the buds. As you can see the tops that have been bent over have not simply bent towards the light but grown another inch or two as well. This was done 24 hours ago.

Photo time!

Beautiful! Getting closer and closer to harvest time...those colas are fattening up

It's a ten week strain, so I've got another five weeks or so to go. One of them is clearly more Sativa based though and is moving much slower so I assume it'll be at the 10 week time and the other more indica will be around 9

Slow but steady wins the race! they are coming along!

Soo, the plant that was quite mutated at the beginning apparently decided to continue being a mutie.

I've got one, beautiful looking plant that's throwing out nice long pointed buds, and the other.. throwing out six bud sites at times on the top of it's colas. Still, nothing to complain about

Here they are! 47 days into flowering!

Early harvest for one of my babies for reasons I shall disclose later.

photos and weight to come. harvest at 53 days.

Good luck on the gal you chopped!

Well she's chopped trimmed and hanging. Came out to 180 grams wet and looks nice but I'm sad I had to chop. Complications with the space used

So here are a few shots of the buds and trimming process. This is my first grow and I'm very happy with this one plant, her sister is doing fine still going strong.

The reasons for harvesting this one were that my box decided to have a shit fit and cave in on one side. So I simply cut my losses, reinforced what I could and have left the remaining plant to continue flowering.


Total tally from this beauty was 180 grams wet, with 20 or so grams of little fluff buds.










Also, I found a small section of bud that had self pollinated and so I now have 8 seeds to continue my strain on. all tiger striped and mature.

nice lookin buds..

Highly motivation stuff right there !!!

Jolly good show old bean

for anyone that has an outside and insie garden and doesnt want mites read this......

Some members of the Chrysanthemum genus, such as the following two, are placed in the Tanacetum genus instead by some botanists. Both genera are members of the daisy (or aster) family, Asteraceae. They are all perennial plants with a daisy-like appearance and white petals.

• 
  Tanacetum cinerariifolium
  
  
  T. cinerariifolium is called the Dalmatian chrysanthemum, denoting its origin in that region of the Balkans (Dalmatia). It looks more like the common daisy than other pyrethrums. Its flowers, typically white with a yellow center, grow from numerous fairly rigid stems. Plants have blue-green leaves and grow to 45 to 100 cm in height. The plant is economically important as a natural source of insecticide. The flowers are pulverized and the active components, called pyrethrins, contained in the seed cases, are extracted and sold in the form of an oleoresin. This is applied as a suspension in water or oil, or as a powder. Pyrethrins attack the nervous systems of all insects, and inhibit female mosquitoes from biting. When present in amounts less than those fatal to insects, they still appear to have an insect repellent effect. They are harmful to fish, but are far less toxic to mammals and birds than many synthetic insecticides and are not persistent, being biodegradable and also decompose easily on exposure to light. They are considered to be amongst the safest insecticides for use around food. Kenya produced 90% (over 6,000 tonnes) of the world's pyrethrum in 1998, called py for short. Production in Tanzania and Ecuador is also significant. Currently the worlds major producer is Tasmania, Australia.

• 
  Tanacetum coccineum
  
  
  C. coccineum, the Persian chrysanthemum, is a perennial plant native to Caucasus and looks somewhat like a daisy. It produces large white, pink or red flowers. The leaves resemble those of ferns, and the plant grows to between 30 and 60 cm in height. The flowering period is June to July in temperate climates (Northern Hemisphere). C. coccineum also contains insecticidal pyrethrum substances, but it is a poor source compared to C. cinerariifolium.

• Other species, such as C. balsamita and C. marshalli, also contain insecticidal substances, but are less effective than the two species mentioned above.

[edit] Insecticides

[edit] Sprays

Pyrethrum was used for centuries as an insecticide,[SUP][1][/SUP] and as a lice remedy in the Middle East (Persian powder, also known as "Persian pellitory"). It was sold worldwide under the brand Zacherlin by Austrian industrialist J. Zacherl.[SUP][2][/SUP]
The flowers should be dried and then crushed and mixed with water. Though the pesticide is natural, it can still be harmful to humans.[SUP][3][/SUP]

• Pyrethroids are synthetic insecticides based on natural pyrethrum (pyrethrins); one common example is permethrin. A common formulation of pyrethrin is in preparations containing the synthetic chemical piperonyl butoxide: this has the effect of enhancing the toxicity to insects and speeding the effects when compared with pyrethrins used alone. These formulations are known as synergized pyrethrins.

[edit] Companion planting


Because of the natural insecticidal properties of the pyrethrums, they are used as companion plants, to repel pest insects from nearby crops and ornamental plants.[SUP][4][/SUP] They are thought to repel aphids, bed bugs (Cimex lectularius), leafhoppers, spider mites, harlequin bugs, ticks, pickleworms and imported cabbage worms, among others that are in gardens and farms. For example, they are planted among broccoli plants for protection from several common insect pests.

sorry for the lengthy explaination but it is good for outside gardeners and people with pets who grow and they should know their options.......from your good friend Bill Nye the Science guy aka PITTSBURGH
