The Church, looking quite resinous for 1 month into flower.
On The SZ#3 The Trichs are stracked up even on the stems of the fan leaves
And Arjan's Ultra Haze looks stupid fucked up as usual. I'm starting to think its actually the shitty fucked up genetics rather than my poor growing skills.
Every bloody time, about 8 weeks into flower she just starts this stupid stretch. I've heard dropping the lights-on to 10 hours would solve this, but i dont have a seperate room to do that, so i'll just have to deal.
More Proof of the AUH#1s stupid genes.
This fan leaf looks like its mama took LSD during pregnancy.

Only a month into flower on that church??
How long do your plants stretch and such before they start budding?
Wow. My plants are 4 weeks and 2 days into flower and they just started producing crystals, having started real budding following the cessation of stretching.

after going back and looking, its closer to 5 weeks on the church.
Its usually a week or two of stretching for me, depending on strain.
These are on day 40 of 12\12 straight from clone
And so are these.
Plus rep m8, you speak wise words and i hear what your saying. The yanks have it so tough man, i just watched that documentary, Grass. 1999... Wow, the Govenrment back then , namely Arnslinger... Fucked weed for everyon, Make you scared to grow tat beautiful plant... cause you going to spending a few months to years, in company of Z Murderers, Rapists, etc etc and God knows what else..
Its all wrong were's the justice in that.. I make reference to alchol, Kills thousands threw accidents and acting like inadolecant twats!! Would you rather stumble across a group of stoners 1am in the morning. or a group of Drunks.... I need not answer, although i am worried about the stoners fleecing me of any food content i may have on me, or time.. I may get wrapped up in a deep meaningful conversation.
And we couldnt have that..
What violent creatures we humble stoners are..
Sorry man, ive read your journel from start to finish, sounds like you ad a problem earlier with a loud mouth mate you couldnt help telling, whether that the case or not, keep you chin up bro, you have a talent for the weed, and it seems to like you...
I belive in doing what you thinks feels right and have no regrets..
Peace , Keep Safe

Just my 2 cents to add to a picture m8... Your post 123 above, Picture 3....
I have had this previously, i dont grow anymore, but i grew a Mongolian Indica a few years back, i know diferent genes and what not, But after 6 weeks flower, i had to go on holiday for 2 weeks.. So i flushed, lifted lights above what id like to.. And left them on timers...
To my dismay, upon returning from holiday i realized i had left them on a 24/24 the light never went off. These were deep in flower 6 weeks.. And they looked just like yours did, the Bud didnt form properly. Them strange leaves we can see where all over it, and it stretched out. It looks exactly like your beauty does mate.
Now i dont have an answer to that, but it wasnt good for my plant, nor the bud.. And it was near unsmokable.. Now i can clearly see your 5 times the grower i am.. + rep.. But i thought you'd like to hear that... 6 weeks into flower they went back into veg on my wrong doing...for 2 weeks.
Hope alls well.
sorry for double post.. chaps.

I wish my plants looked like that! They are 32 days into flower. Just posted pics. Wanna come take a look and tell me what you think?

Wow, you folks are all so kind. Much love and fatties to all of you.
Speaking of kind...
The soil area is full of it.
White Rhino #1 This Pheno took forever to take root and stretched the fuck out for the first 2 weeks of 12/12 , i've been bending and training trying to get light to the lower buds. She looks alright, and is the furthest along, but unless the final product blows me away, i dont imagine this will be the keeper.
White Rhino 2 & 3 (pretty much identical) These girls were the quickest to clone and the most vigorous growers of the bunch. Average frost level with multiple smaller budsites, this stuff would be a real hassle to trim alot of. Having said that, i like the way this stuff has grown so far.
White Rhino #4. Pretty fert sensitive, but the biggest, frostiest nugs of the bunch. This one was in the middle of the road as far as cloning time. It looks like it might be a slightly longer flowering pheno than the rest. (based on the amount of white pistils and the fact that its still expanding) But thats alright with me if it puts out some good stuff.
All of the Rhinos have a pretty interesting odour. I would describe it as being kind of plastic-y. But much more pleasant than that sounds.
The Church, looking pretty fly. I definately will do a full run of these girls. With a real spicey peppery somewhat skunky smell, it makes my mouth water.
....and on to the tables. One of my pumps keeps coming disconnected from the hose when it turns on and it is driving me mad. Fortunately i've been checking on it, and its only missed one feeding, but this is a real pissoff. I need some sort of hose clamp that won't corrode in my reservoir. Anyone have any ideas??? I've already tried zip-ties, to no avail.
Despite the horrible way i treat my plants, they seem to have forgiven me.
The purple zeus (#2) is pushing out tufts of hair and looking pretty wacky.
Some of the SZ#1s look like fucking velvet they're so textured with trichomes.
I actually thought this one was growing mold around the leaf edges.
But closer inspection leaves me breathing a sigh of relief, and a chuckle of joy.
I'm really quite sold on this hydroponics thing. Once you're set up, it really is about the same amount of work to keep it going. Albeit far more expensive. I've been foreced to upgrade to the big jugs of nutes. Something that wouldnt play well with a judge i'm trying to convince of the personal nature of my grow. But what can i say? I like having alot of weed.
Splinter and Crackers, through dirty glass.
Heres my jar i've been curing in anticipation of 4/20. All i can say is, its gonna be a good day to be around me. Brownies and cookies and blunts galore.

wish I lived in muthaf***in canada! I'm stuck in a goddam twisted version of george orwells 1984 known as u.s.a. and couldnt hope to have the boldness of your setup. which really sucks cause you seem to take full advantage of space and light and are turning out some SWEET lookin buds brudda! and might I say good taste on selection of strains. I love white rhino cause so much is unknown about it and there are usually several distinct phenotypes when grown and your setup is a true example of that. keep makin me salivate!

Sadly right now we have a conservative government that is trying to push manditory minimums for even a single plant. But at the same time the liberals introduced a bill to decriminalize possesion, so i dont know whats what anymore. But in any event my brazen streak of greenthumbary may soon be cut short. I'd rather not draw any undue attention when they start cracking the whip.
Having said that, i've got a carbon filter going, and my grow area is seperate from the rest of the house, you would have to be snooping around to find it. I've had the meter reader come into the room adjacent to it and not say anything, though i must admit that was a pretty stressfull pararnoid experience. Sometimes the smell just permeates everything.
I'm not yet satisfied witht he strains i'm growing. To date, the best overall plants for me have been the original bagseed genetics i've been growing since day one of my horticultural adventure. But i've yet to find a real #1 cherry plant. GH cheese was pretty close, but i shat the bed with clones in rockwool and managed to lose that strain. (never again, thanks to the aerocloner)
I really love the high from Arjans Ultra Haze #1, but the one pheno i've got of it is stupid retarded and takes 15-16 weeks to mature, and even then looks like a pile of garbage. I just threw my mother of that one under 12\12 today, an almost symbolic gesture of my disdain for hte growth of this plant. Like I said, amazing high, stupid growth. Thankfully i do have a second seed i planted and just absentmindedly threw into 12\12. I realized ther error of my ways about 3 or 4 weeks ago and have been revegging since, and its acting really dumb too, but i'll chalk that up to the stress of revegging rather than immediately discounting the genetics.
This is my first time growing WR, i've got nirvana's version, so its not the real GreenHouse (or Shantibaba, depending who you ask) White Rhino. But alas, i'm giving it a shot, and so far its been kind of mixed. There is some real potential there, but none of them appear to be real producers (as advertised) Heck as long as it smokes good i'll sacrifice some yield.
I'm still hunting for my perfect plant. I'll know it when i find it. I still have Jock horror and KC mango on deck, but then i'm gonna order some higher end genetics. I've heard nothing but good things about serious seeds selections. Apparently you cant go wrong. Also i'm quite eager to try supersilverhaze, sweettooth, anything by mandala seeds and of course if i'm lucky enough to get my hands on them, any of the elite clone onlys going around. OG Kush, PPP, Sour Diesel etc.
So many strains, so little room.
I'm up to 1800w of light and contemplating a 400mh to compliment the flower room a bit and expand the spectrum. But i've gotta wait a while, this grow takes up too much of my money.
Anyways, i'm rambling now.

Time is the only solution. I can't bring myself to add anymore power to this grow. However i just found out my uncle has been growing since i was a wee one, and he claims to have a great NL#5 cut to throw my way (woohooo). I just need to learn to use ever damn square inch of light to the fullest and i'l have room for all the strains i want to be growing.I think we all reach that stage Spruce...
It's just watts and space that slows us down...
HAhahaha, nah they're cool, just chillin in the old cracked aquarium that has become their home. Although some days they stink enough that i would consider it!

what strain is in the jar curing?

Thats my house brand bagseed i've been growing since day one. (i call it the sprucezeus) I've finally narrowed it down to 3 desireable phenotypes. (this is somewhat true, although i am currently revegging a plant i put in 12/12 from seed because it exibited a very sour "cheesy" smell early in flower. so you might say i have 4) The one in that jar is my "fruity" number 1. While its the lowest yielder of the bunch, it definately produces the most trichs and has the best overall flavour.
To this day, still the best weed in my garden.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) These bagseeds were feminized (With about a 15% hermie rate) So i dont have any boys to work with. So I just need to learn how to make feminized seeds and i'll be able to spread this one around. I'm more than happy cloning for myself until the cows come home. But i've had alot of people ask me for my genetics, and i'm a little paranoid about delivering clones, so seeds must be the answer. Not to mention i could play johnny weedseed and bring the streets of my city to life with a little creative planting.
Heres a couple shots of the same pheno.
Kindly ignore my half-assed manicuring.
Sorry wish i could tell you it's so and so strain available at so and so seedbank. But alas, i'll keep you posted when i finally do breed this gal. (not for anything that would be against site rules of course, for informational purposes only.)
