i now believe that bong marley was busted. Where is dirt clean? The percentages for success do not seem great overall. Well at least the hempstar look good. Buds geting pretty fat. they seem to be guaranteeing me 2 ounces so far. New buds just started to form everywhere i just noticed. Man Its weird that i'm the last person here to harvest. Sucks bad for me. Cant wait to post harvest pics. i jelous all day. but i did get some labelled blueberry weed today. Its ok but not like the white strains. I wouldnt grow it. Amc you ever smoke it? nothing great.

i'm thinking 3 weeks. i flowered them big. it doesnt taste really any diff. i trust the guy who i got it from and it does look exactly like many of the blueberry pics i've seen. yah its not that potent. The white strains are the only weed that really can get you to that next level. I think i have to do 1 but not the kali mist. maybe white russian. or see how the hempstar turn out. i want the buds to look covered in sand. dont buy blueberry seeds ever thats for sure. but its ok.

amc man. just thought of something. you should take a small bud and stick its stem in some fruit juice. like peach juice or blueberry juice. let it soak up the stem overnight and then dry like normal. heard its good. if you dont i'll do it and let ya know. the hempstar can spare a bud or 2

Hi there, just thought I'd say hello and tell the news. I germed about 7 lr2 seeds and they have shoots after day two. I've got some hydroton cubes soaking in bottled water to get the ph right, didn't do that last time and it burned the seedling a little. I'm going to put four of the seedlings in the new hydro system and the rest in soil (I think, have to figure out what kind of pots I'll use cause I only have one). Tonight, I was really planning on buying from a hydro shop not too far away, a 400 watt hps hid with vented reflector but now that I hear about your electricity problem, I'm wondering if that would be wise. I rent an apartment that is attached to a single family home where the landlord lives. My first grow got pretty stinky and it was all fine. This time, I got some ONA and that works well, so I'm not worried about smell. I just don't want electrical problems. The 150 watt hps seems to be working well. I'm glad I read that, it made me ponder the decision some more and weigh the risk factors.

I heard it works better if you get some kind of a flavor concentrate!!! Any specific ideas, or just stick it in some juice juice, I will definately try it???

be careful wannabee, your landlord has to give you only 24 hours notice to enter your residence, that is if its stated like that in your contract or agreement, I would look into this!!! Best of luck to both of you.

I will definately try it on a bud or two, I will let you know. If you like adding to your bag appeal, add food coloring in good amounts to water and put the stem in the water, it will die a large abount of the bud to that color. Doesnt hurt you or the bud either.

You will be fine for power until you hit around 1000 watts per breaker. You will be fine to add a 400. just watch the smell. An ionizer works well. post some updated pics. ive seen there growing. How old are they now? 19 days plus ? keep us posted. we'll prob be chopping them at the same time roughly. post those pics. cant wait

My landlord plugs his swimming pool filter into an outlet outside my door in the summer and I'm not sure if this is on the same breaker. Do you think the higher watts will make a big difference? In bud size and in electrical use? I'd really like to try a 400 watt for some reason. Have to think about it some more though.

I bought a timer for my hps now and it won't work. I didn't realize I need a heavy duty one for a three prong plug. Tried a converter plug and it didn't work. Ive been turning the lights on and off myself for now. I'll try and take new pics in the next day or two, for sure. They are asleep for the night now.:peace:

the added power from the 400 wont be noticable. Even with his plugged in probably. The yield will be totally noticable. On a beginners first try with a 400 you can expect at least 200 grams. you have already grown so could prob get more slightly. Its well worth it. Let us know what you decide and try to get some pics. Sounds like youve been busy. keep us posted. seeya

hehe, thanks for asking for me. lol.


I got pics! Lowrider 2 is about 18 days in. No sex signs yet. I have fed a good veg tea, all organic. The lr2 loved it! Nice to watch them just grow. I got all my other plants fimmed, topped, and lstd.

the lowriders are the 4 in the middle. They are in 3 gallon bags of a fox farm ocean forest and light warrior mix, with some lime and perlite.

the other plants are 2 white widow skunks, 1 widow cindy, 1 mystery sativa that was mislabled mazar afghan, and 1 bagseed.

Under a 400 Lumatek with a mh bulb right now. Got a 6 inch inline, a charcoal filter, an ozone generator, and a large vented hood, like 2 by 3 feet! Plugged right into my lumatek. I am on a 24/0 schedule and thinking maybe a 18/6 will be better. IDk that.

here ya go. pic 1 is lowrider 2 from joint docotr(fem), pic 2 is current whole grow, pic 3 is a week ago or so, pic 4 is widow cindy, huge fan leaves. All plants but lowrider are as I said are trained.

tea is bio bizz, guano, fish emulsion, worm cstings, steer manure, mollasses, super plant tonic.


oh yeah, I am using ladybugs as pest control. got them at the garden center. they love it, i love it, they stay in the tent like good girls.

whoa dude, sorry! lol, I thought this was the 400 watt club. I saw my name and thought I was somewhere else.

Shit, well I cam here to find out how your lowrider was doing. How long are we looking at, I have been going through all the lowrider threads this morning and I cant find any time lines,

I am at day 19 or so and no sex signs. I sure as hell hope this finsihes from seed as fast as they say, how s your time line?

So I have trimmed and processed my buds from 2 0fthe 3 ak-47, they are hang dring on a hanger right now. The popcan plant gave me 90 grams wet, thats right 90 fuckin grams off of that little ass plant, the larger one gave me slightly less, the buds were still pretty young. Im going for 2 oz's altogether from these two plants when its dry. I will post pics in a while, gotta head to walmart to get some mason jars and batteries for my camera. Looks like my plants were godsent 1982grower, lol!!! PEACE
