Lookin' good Plantman!! Nice healthy and cleaned up stalks and healthy leaves, yeah man totally keep up the great work!! Normally a cannabis plant won't grow that way, but after all the training it should normally look like what you've got. Your friend was right in the sense of the plant not naturally growing/looking like that, but with a SCRoG grow your stalk/branching will look way more insane after the training.

Lookin' good though for sure dude.

The 250 room is the shit :hump:, you guys always respond and give advice :lol:. Doob and Wretch have helped greatly. Ive got a couple of updated pics of the crop into flowering for a week and half. They are forming nicely. Luckily, i got all females even though I grew 2 to one pot (first grow noob), grew with miracle grow and about to add some mg bloom boost to my next watering. Oh yeah, about 2 weeks into veg a disolved bc pill in with watering, maybe its the reason for the fems? Any comments welcome. :leaf:

Glad we could help you out Sp4ce, they're looking good and healthy!! Keep up the great work!!

Also since you're doing a MG grow, the one thing I can advise you is to flush for a bit longer than usual, so you get all that fert out and have a nice, clean and smooth smoke.

Can't wait to see the harvest pics from you, Wretched, Mind, Plantman, Tom, and a bunch of others in the club, if I forgot a name I apologize there's just too many to remember lol.

Edit: I think by BC pill you're talking about a birth control pill? Lol I have never heard of a BC pill promoting more females, ethylene gas yes but that no lol.

Any product by Vale, one of their best products is Permaclean. You take it as a dietary supplement/detox, it's a full body detox. You can either do a 2 week, 1 week or 3 day regiment. The 3 day isn't in the directions but it's ok, kinda makes you feel icky for a lil bit but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes lol.

I used to work for a head shop a couple years ago, we recommended this to pretty much all of our customers. That is of course if they weren't assholes.... or crackheads.... or meth heads lol. I actually have used Permaclean many times, and it's always worked for me.

Stay away from maskers, or half ass detox because that shit doesn't work.

Just be sure to stay away from cigarettes, caffiene, high fructose corn syrup or products containing HFCS, alcohol and highly fatty foods. Or else it won't work properly, it's an all around detox so you have to have a strict diet while taking permaclean for the best results.

There's supposedly a newer product made by Vale that's supposed to work better than Permaclean but I won't recommend it because I have not had to use it yet and I can't even remember the name lol.

If you do need a masker of some sort, well get #1 fake piss or make your own #1 kit. Aquarium temp sticker, sticky heat pad, clean piss, and either a condom or double layer ziplock bag duct taped, and a tube with a plug.

Take the zipbag, secure tube to it, put piss inside, duct tape the ever living hell out of it. Put the heat pad on one side, and the temp strip on the other (So you can monitor the temp of your urine so you don't get false readings), attach to the inside of your pants with duct tape or with something else, make sure it's by the waist area and there you go.

Hope this helps Mind.

Edit: Make sure you plug the tube before you put the pee in, or else.... you'll have a mess you probably don't want lol.

I dont know the strain but the seeds were from a stash of kind bud I got months back. From the leaves I can tell they are mostly indica maybe with a little bit of sativa. They are both 20 in and continue to grow. Will they keep on growing during flowering? Ive always heard of flushing. What is it and why do yo do it. Thanks fo sho 250:hump:

They will grow for a bit more.Flushing is when during the last 2 wks to 10 days before you harvest you just give your plant Ph wate and thats it.It makes the plants use up the nutes it still has stored in it.And by doing that the taste of your smoke will be much better.:peace:

However with MG I would probably do a 2-3 week flush honestly, to ensure you get all the nutes out.

hi all im currently growing using 2 125 watt cfl but im now thinking of goin with 1 250 watt hps for the flowering stage. my grow tent is 110 x 65 x 120 would this be enough room for a 250 watt hps because i know i need to have the bulb a good distance from the plant because of the heat. any info or suggestions fire away.

Your grow box can handle a 250 HPS easy, I'm guessing those dimensions were centimeters and not inches correct? If that's the case then yeah a 250 will work, if it was inches.... upgrade a lot.

The light should be 12-15cm/5-6 inches away from the tops of the plants, if your temperature is stable then you can even go 4 inches/10cm above the canopy. This will provide a good amount of lumens for your plants.

Hope this helps and welcome to the club K3nz :bigjoint:, if you have any other questions go ahead and shoot, we're here to help.
