yes thats what i was thinking because when i tested the water last week it would have been full of chlorine, i wonder if the chlorine has an effect on other ph balancing properties in water?

it does mate iv read in a few cannabis growing books that chlorine is bad for the soil and ph i know this was 2 weeks ago haha i was just going threw few pages and saw it ha

 

[lemonskunk man]

[lemonskunk man]

]when are you planning out richie, i know the weather looks ok now and hopefully it will last, i think ill plant mine out next week some time. i found a nice spot thats very hard to get too but not if you have the means!, just curing some motavation and i must say it is also a gorgeous smoke, probably the smoothest stuff ive ever smoked. its kind of like the menthol variety of weed, very easy and great day time smoke. the berry thats curing is also doing alright but its very very sweet, when you pop the jar it nearly makes you gip its that sweet. ive just put the exile in to cure so ill let yous know what thats like in a week or so. ive got a skunk 11 and one white berry ready for cuttings but still cant make my mind up, ive also got one of each 2 weeks in flower and they are looking etter than ever since i added the lime to the all mix, ph is bang on all the time now at 6.8.
ill try get some pics up later.
heres the skunk thats taking forever.

hahaha that looks exactly like the lemon skunk i grew the 2nd pic exactly, nice looking plant my friend seriously, im sure its done by now any up date on it on yield/grams.. and how does she smoke i bet you got like about 100-120 dry grams from that plant am i right

 

[luciferateme]

hows it going lemon, dont know what i got out of it yet, its not really dried out proper, only went into the jars tonight!. but yes it was a big yield, ive got another 2 of them on the go now, i topped it this time and its just running away with itself, 5ft and its not even started its 4 colas in any sort of way yet. ive got a few pics ill have to put up but i cant find my lead for my camera phone, i should have them up tomorrow. the skunk 11 does smell nice though, espec when i was breaking the buds off the stems for curing.
looks like some nice stuff your smokin there, espec the w w. havnt done one yet ut will do eventually. love the unrolled joint teaser shot!lol!
jingle nice to here your smeaking into that nice bud, how are the others coming along?, ive a couple more that are about 2 weeks away from ready, one is gorgeous looking.
richie is that right you do the flowering from the preflowers, i always did it from the 12/12, ut i already had preflowers. so does that mean some of my plants have een really taking the piss with even worse length flowering times, ill smoke em!
later
lu
yes tonto the stuff going around here doesnt look very nice in the bag either, glad im not buying that shit anymore.

I go with the onset of flowering, when you get the mini tuft on the tops. Thats day 1 for me. I think it stops you from chopping early, like if you have a 8weeker they never realy finnish at 8 weeks so i go by the first few flowers just for that extra few days. You get me? im kinda rambling lol fairly stoned

 

[lemonskunk man]

what does the viet stuff smell like?



spent most of the year working through a bag of kc33 popcorn and now going through church, not that potent but tasty(smokey diesel) , had written it off as junk till a while ago but then read it needs a long cure , dug it out and havent put the jar back since, terrible bag appeal

no smell really tonto and haha it must be some big ass bag to be working on it a year and ye i smoked church meself some lovely stuff i like diesel i grew nyc diesel last year was something else 1 the best tasting weeds ever :0 ummmmm me like bag appeal and jar appeal and any appeal with bud in it haha :-0 enjoy your smoke mang

hows it going lu, good stuff i reakon ull get about 100-110 give or take man looks hella good ...... no way i topped a nycd plant of mine and it grew great flowered when it was suppose to emm ave u tryed puttin the topped plant into darkness for a day or 2 to try force flower it because thats when it starts to flower when more dark hours give it a try mate... yeah the white widow is nice alright so is the chesse i did not grow them thou they where bought i have to wait till i find a new place b4 i can grow again but i always get good clean weed and i grew white widow before its some awesome smoke when you grow yourself say compared to the dam, your own grow always outbeat's the dam's stuff :-0 so give it a grow its well worth it plus it doesnt even smell like typical weed when grown smells like food or like a herb and spices :L ha and cheers man i was just rolling a joint and it came to my mind enjoy your smoke lad

 

[Harrekin]

just add the flowering period from when you switched to 12/12, the plants are done though when the trichs are ready. the old scopes are the nuts arent they harrekin, they work really well. very clear its just a bitch when you move it around because everything is reversed axis like a ps3 joypad! drove me mad the first night.
too true about the old asians, the problem with most people is they dont realise that it is just that, shit weed. i think some people have been paying for it for that long that they wont even part with an extra fiver for something that is decent weed, not saying ive got any, then if any of you guys(not saying we are) try to sell decent stuff everyone wants it for the same quantity/price as the shitty weed with seeds and god knows what in it.
i thought you already were growing in airpots?
jingle did you smoke any of your bud yet?

I think its ok to sort your mates out and expect "costs to be covered", just not in the traditional "sell it" sense. Nah man was just growing in standard 10L black round plastic pots, the Airpots seem to make more sense for a small tent grow tho, purely because they are taller and thinner than normal 10L pots, so more space overall. Gonna transplant the seedlings tomorrow, they've almost two fully grown sets of true leaves now and the roots are creeping out the bottom of the starter pots I have them in.

You notice on the microscope that the VAST majority of the "hairs" we see on the plants dont/never did have resin tips? Didnt realise they were even there, you cant see them with the naked eye!

 

[irishmc]

Harrekin were did ya pick up the air-pots? Looking to pick up a couple for the grow im on now. I need to transplant soon.

Harrekin what are the blue buttons on the side?

when the grows over could you stick up some airpot root porn, always impressive

 

[irishmc]

The blue buttons are what holds the pots together tonto mate, and cheers for the link.

 

[Harrekin]

Yeah man, the 10L and larger ones have two of the buttons, they're literally just a small plastic screw. They dont actually lose as much soil when your filling them as you'd think either. The flat pack way it arrives is useful too!

 

[luciferateme]

those old pots look good alright, always been meaning to pick some up but never have. harrekin after you start using the micro for a while you will see the new sugar leaves build up there trich tops as they grow, its mad stuff. also one thing i that i dont think any of you guys do anyway is foliar feed in flower. a lot say its fine but i got some on one of the buds, a couple of days later and few of the trich tops were gone, just like you said a stem and no top on it. also when using the microscope it can sometimes make the clear trichs look cloudy if you look at them straight down, from the side is what i always try to do, ut its bloody awkward.
lemon i grew that cheese a while back, it was one of my first, not a massive yield but it got me on the path to growing good shit!, very easy to grow. i separated my white berry that hermied on me, it was stress im sure, i had a light leek onto it and very high temps until i got another fan. so im gonna give it the next month for the seeds to mature and then see what they turn out like. very debatable if i should even bother. but i have the space and cant put anything else down until the other monsters are done.
lu
harrekin i forgot to say the little fat one is still packing on bud!, its growing sideways now. ive never seen owt like it. it must be about 6-7 inch across the top now.

[luciferateme]

​

 

[luciferateme]

that looks nice lemon, i took a few pics tonightt of the current grow. things are getting a it busy so im hoping that a couple will hurry and finish.
heres a few pics, i also threw in a pic of the skunk11 thats curing at the minute.


also lads in amongst the pics is the berry that went hermie, i think it looks pretty ready and so do you think i should chop it, the bananas are only small still and the plant is separated but i dont like the risk. its pic 2, 5 and 6.
the skunk looks lovely in the jar, cant wait till thats ready. didnt weigh it yet but i will when its done.
later
lu
