Great pictures man, and of course the grow is coming along nicely. How tall are those plants now, and how tall were they when you started 12/12 ?

i haven't really been keeping a good measurement on anything really... i can never really seem to find my tape measure when i need it... lol

so i just eyeball everything, even just eyeballing how hey my lights are... whatever... i'm still just *feeling out* this plant (this is only my second grow, so i'm still trying to learn as much as possible...)

so i have not dialed in anything yet... just trying to find what works well and what doesn't... and compare that all to what i read, and then try to make sense of all that data flying around in my head...

anyways, sorry for the rambling...

i flowered them all when they all roughly got to 8in tall... although i they had some starting time differences, some differed by like a week and a half... so the bigger ones i just lst'd to keep them down... i have floro's for veg though, and so i just kind of used them as a marker... if plants grew enough to touch them, i'd just pull the tops down a couple inches... and let the smaller ones catch up... its fairly noticeable now which ones had some lst done to them and which ones didn't...

now they're all, oh, i'd say about 2 1/2 ft maybe?
maybe it ranges from like 2ft - 2 1/2 ft...

thats just some estemating though... maybe they're shorter than that? lol... i'll get some real measurements in before harvest, atleast...

so, some Diatomaceous Earth i ordered came in today, 1 pound of it

DE is fossilized "diatoms" - single celled organisms that made shells of silica... blah blah blah... in powder form and is apparently one of the best organic insecticides one can use for a whole variety of bugs...

i'm going after gnats myself... it works by the dust particles of the DE getting into the exoskeletons of the insects and basically shreds them up and dries them out and kills them... if its ingested by the bugs it does the same thing from the inside out... hahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahaha

as a powder it can be mixed in or sprinkled on the soil directly, can be made as a slurry and sprayed onto foliage

you can even dust your pets with the stuff to help keep them bug free! =]


i ordered mine from here
Diatomaceous Earth
fairly cheap stuff...

i just applied it like an hour ago, but when i get back from a little trip i'm taking to florida, i'll update how it has worked so far (sunday the 8th is when i return)

take care all
and good growin!

tbh, i've never smoked haze... so i don't really know what to look for in the plants i got... i do know that there are two completley different pheno's though (this ones been different from the start...)

haze is tall lanky, wispy for six worrisome weeks of flower, then blows up with pungent haze (earthyspiceoldschoolcan'tbenamedflavor) aroma, dense stands of trichs, and huge hairy sticky (and i mean glue) buds. sativa all the way, and nice colors. christmas green and red (the deep crimson....)

if i'm mucking your thread, stop me; i'm medicated :cool:

i had to carry my grow bags from my closet to the shower for waterings... and let me tell you, those things can be so cumbersome... i ended up just sticking the bags in empty pots to make them easier to use... haha


unless i could set up an automated watering system (like a drip system or something) i don't think i'll every use the bags again...

but then again i might just use them on my next grow cuz i get real high and buy them and i put the plants in them... haha...

i wonder why so many people use such big pots though...mine can't be much more than 1 gallon and they're supporting the plants fine... if i was gonna go more than 3 ft. i'd get bigger pots... but not many indo growers go over 3ft tall plants...

i'm awaiting your results.:blsmoke:
Click to expand...
of what, the smoking of scuff?

it got me fairly high for about 20 minutes... and now i've just been relaxing for the past whatever... :peace: haha

but i'm saddened i have no more smoke....















oh, wait
you mean the DE

yeah, i'll let you know... the stuff has the consistency of flour almost... maybe even finer than that... i just sprinkled a tblsp over the top of each of my pots... if it shows results by friday night i'll be sure to let you know sooner...

and yeah, like i said, cheap stuff... ~10.50 shipped for the pound... which should last me a bit...

worth looking into.:mrgreen: the only issue i had was that it was a little "open", as far as branching and bud density. the smoke itself is worthy, yes.:blsmoke: if fact.........
