Something with a death at the beach theme would be cool. Too bad Jack never killed anyone at the beach. :joint: The JTR I have is looking awesome. I am liking the Chernobyl a bunch too. Nice plants. I never grew TGA before. I'll get some pictures.

Your garden sounds so amazing Gandalf, alot of love in there, you can always tell in the pics. I'm very interested in some TGA gear for the future, I think some Space Jill would be a good start. I can't wait to see what you did with that Ripper.
Lovin the creativity Hamish. I could do word play all day, and night, love it.
Have a great evening everyone. Peace, Light, and Love.

My SunMaidens smell like sour chem candy sweetness. The sweetness is faint. Just enough to take the edge off the sour chem. They have 10-14 days left from the looks of things. Things are changing fast.

These plants look like you're climbing the steep learning curve that comes with reefer: You had some serious issues, and they have recovered. Please bear in mind that the older leaves will never come right properly if a plant suffered for a while. The auto is looking small and will stay small because they build all their momentum very early on, once they hit flower grow-time is over. There are MANY reasons on top of this to not use autoflowers.
That Sativa seedling can still end up blowing your mind so hang in there and remember to watch the watering, only about 75ml to 100ml per watering for a plant that size. You want to need to water frequently, it keeps things aerated and moving along very swiftly. OK I know this next part is advice that at a point VERY soon I will tell you is not the best, but in the interest of a speedy recovery: Can you buy fish emultion or kelp extract from your local nursery? If so, get some, and dilute it to HALF the minimum recommended dose and foliar feed (mist upper and undersides of leaves) at THE COLDEST PART of your plant's day, or just before lights off. Kelp use once a week MAX. Fish emulsion once every 3-4 days. If you see the green going deeper, stop completely.
If that Sat is going to shoot off like they always do (Sativas are where the word 'weed' came from, they grow like weeds), this is the time to look into different training methods. Do a search for 'LST' or 'Low Stress Training' to get your head around it a bit.

But I'd say you are ready to start some fresh seeds, and get incredibly improved results. Now that you know to watch the watering, it will make a huge difference to how fast they grow and how healthy they are. I am curious at this point: what is your ventilation like? Are they getting a constant flow of fresh air all day AND night?

But seriously, I encourage you to start some fresh seeds. I think the difference will amaze you. The first lessons are the hardest, and you've actually done really well, I wasn't going to say it when I sent you to this thread but I was worried they wouldn't survive at all. You have any idea how many newbie growers kill plants with water? So you are doing better than a lot of first-time growers already. Keep at it, you will nail this. The entire Southern Hemisphere needs more good growers. You WILL be one of them.

I will check out the nursery and see about the fish stuff definately, i've got a desk fan blowing in there 24/7 but is closed up in the closet. i do open it up to let fresh air in during the day.
was planning on starting some new seeds, i think it will go alot better this time around

drilled some holes in the pot, takes too long for it to dry out. put a heat mat at the bottom too to raise the soil temps a bit.

this is the setup, pretty much how they stay. will lift the light when i have to.

Cool beans, I thought this would be the next part. You DEFINITELY need to invest in a little 4" 'bathroom extractor fan' or something similar. Good news is you'll probably be able to pick it up from your local hardware store for not too much money spent. Just get a little bit of ducting too to help with making the 'light trap' that you will be needing, and also for your air inlet.

This is the kind of thing you are looking for:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/4-extractor-fan

The first few on the page look perfect. You want to change the air in your room out constantly. The statistic goes that cannabis plants can use up all the fresh air around a leaf in under a minute if air is static, so circulation (you've got that down) and ventilation are of utmost importance. These vent fans especially should run 24/7. Taking into account you did all the right things and I personally felt your plants were responding a tiny bit too slowly, I pondered the possible causes. That's why I asked if you've got a good vent system. They will dry out slowly if there is no vent.

Drilling extra holes in the pot is a great idea. I do the same thing, and if I use bags I puncture them with some extra holes from the bottom to about a third up. You can keep doing this to your pots mate, just not too many seeing as roots trim themseves when in contact with fresh air, they dry back to where it is moist.

And now you've got the heating pad in there, you will have to keep a VERY close eye on temps! One of those can push it up pretty high in a closet. Get that vent fan ASAP, it is going to be one of your best investments now and in future. No matter how big it gets, there's always work for an extra fan!

You'll be kicking some serious ass in this game soon bro, no friggin worries :)

I'm going to start making crosses just so I can use plays on musicians' names. I thought about it last night, it'll be EPIC.

I already thought up:
Shreddie Mercury
Steve High (Steve Vai)
Miles' Hazes (Miles Davis)
David Chillmore (David Gilmour)
Jimi's Head Tricks
D'Irie Straits (Dire Straits)
To Pack Sugar (gotta be a frost monster)
Snoop Dawg (why nobody ever named a chem cut after Snoop I don't know)

I'll be back with more later :joint:

David Gilmour sounds so unique. Pink Floyd is in the center of my world. I took my oldest boys to Roger Water's Wall tour 3 years ago. They were 12 and 14. I needed them to see a live "version" of Pink Floyd. They loved it.

David Gilmour is my hero. Pink Floyd is my all time favorite by far. I have Shanti's Pink Floyd beans in the vault.

I'm working on the solo to High Hopes at the moment. It's a slide solo but I'm trying to get it right WITHOUT a slide, mad crazy bends up and down, really pushing me hard as far as technique goes, and of course it needs to be executed with PERFECT grace and control, that is just the Gilmour sig right there. Elegance, grace, poise... And supreme confidence. Such simple, easy melody on the ears. But to get it sounding RIGHT? Not so easy.

I saw Roger Waters solo in Cape Town. BUT. THIS is what I would have loved to see instead:

This couldn't be more perfect. Listening to David and the boys while I smoke my first Kali Bubba. This is the next level as far as I am concerned. The way I grew her was not pretty. I completely underestimated the stretch on her even though I knew better. :wall: She needs to be placed into flowering by day 21 or else do not plan on taming her. We fought and battled each other from the third week of flowering on. I will grow her again no doubt. I have two clones of her. I just need some space. She does yield well. I am cutting her tonight. I cut a branch 5-6 days ago because I couldn't wait any longer. That is what I am smoking now. I will throw up some flower pictures. Not pretty but so effective.

The smoke is very smooth and very spicy. The strong sweet spice of Kali Mist overpowers this pheno. This is exactly the flavor I remember Kali Mist being. I am trying to undervalue my excitement. I honestly taste no Bubblegum in her whatsoever and if I smoked this with a KM lover I have strong doubts that they'd believe BG is in there. On the flip side I am overwhelmed at the taste and smell. Pure KM.

The high is full on motivating and clear. Very up high. This is not for the novice. I absolutely love this kind of high in the daytime. I am going to go and play some David Gilmour for the KB clones I have. I feel strange even calling it Kali Bubba. There is no Bubba in it. I will be working with this strain. I have 15 more ceeds.
