haha Elvis looks like hes about ready to spit on you. He got that what the fuck do you want look on his face. Lmao good looking bud too man that Himgold is messed up funny looking. but I agree with chi the leaves look fine when there done unfolding. must just be a mutation. or uneven cellular growth.

Haha. It wasn't me he was gonna' spit on. i gave the phone to bass420, and told his ass to go get me a pic. I dont like that mean bastard!

He spits on me, ima' bust him in his shit. Haha.

Nasty fuckin' critter!

and what's wrong with smoke off the street?



lol hey that shit is good, coulda been mine.

ha later my man.......

Lol. I just noticed your comment. My day to say that is fast coming, friend. haha

Everything looks very healthy!

I have a Trainwreck mother I've been pushing along with a lot of light and nutes that has been doing the same thing as your HG.

I think it happens to some strains when they are vegging near their maximum ability.

In the past I've seen mutations arise during such rapid growth.

A few shots. Maybe you can see how the leaves are growing?

Yeah, it seems to be the consensus of everyone that I have nothing to worry about with my gold. Worse case scenario, I may end up having a slightly smaller yield because there are a few nodes that only developed on one side.

Glad to see you could stop by, veggiegardener. Stick around. I'm flippin' em' in the next couple of weeks.(I'm waiting on my Mama Mia to get a little bigger) I should have bud formations by April.

 

[donkey.420]

dude you got co2 now. bud formation will be happening quick once you flip. i used bushmaster when i flipped my last grow and had sites in 4 days! bushmaster will curl your plants tho.

Yeah, i'm prolly not gonna' flip them till' at least the week of the 21st, and maybe not even then. That Mama Mia is a slow grower. She's healthy!... And beautiful! just small. I got no problem givin' her more time. By the beginning of that week, it MAY be to my liking, and ready for me to flip its photoperiod.

I'm taking some cuttings of the Powerkush in a few days. I'll post some scale pics of Mama Mia, then. I'll also post a link to the breeder page(so the genetics can be analyzed), and see if I cant get some guesses at whether she's ready to put off a decent yield. The last thing I want to do, is be too impatient a screw myself outta' a potentially good yield. I mean, I'm willing to sacrifice a little, I just dont want to bud it too early, and only get an Oz off the whole damn plant. Ya' know?

I've already decided that Im not using any other chemicals at all. All my girls wiil get, is their organics they've been getting, and along with organics they'll be getting THIS through flowering. No bushmaster. All natural, brother. I dont know what it'll do to my yield, but I bet it all tastes killer! No chemical taste. i'm gonna flush the FoxFarm for over a week... And it claims to be 100% Natural and Organic.

I got a problem with my CO2 regulator. I'm not exactly sure what THIS guide means by "Flow Meter Setting". If it means the numbers on the outside of the right gauge, than my regulator is stuck at a flowmeter setting of about 3.8. If that's the case, I'm gonna' be out of CO2 in 46 hours... I'm gonna' have to feed my damn room in 15 minute intervals...

No matter how I adjust the crank on the bottle, or the small knob on the regulator, the dial doesn't move from this. It's even like that when the shit's off. The gauges dont move much at all, no matter what I do.

Is it broke, or am I dumb? Oh! And it's supposed to be full, right now, too.

 

[svchop889]

man I dunno but those plants are looking beastly in the background.

 

[donkey.420]

you need a timer on the co2 brah. here's how i get my results. when the lights kick on co2 kicks on and runs for 15 min. exhaust is off. co2 turns off and room sits still for an hour. exhaust comes on for 15 min to clear the room when exhaust turns off co2 comes back on for 15 then room sits still again. when your lights turn off co2 turns off. never run it at night. so co2 should run every other hour or so at about 5 psi on right side guage. if you look to the right of your guage theres a knob. this adjusts your flow. the one right past the clear hose

Yeah. I get that,brother. I know HOW it works. I just dont think mine works right. I've already bought two timers, in anticipation of my CO2s arrival. I bought one for the regulator, and one for the power strip I'll be plugging my exhaust vents and fans into. When I said I'll be out in 46 hours, what I meant was, I'll be out in 46 hours of use.

The problem with my regulator is,... no matter how I adjust either knob, the gauges dont move. They stay exactly as they are in the pic. I've no way to know how much I'm releasing.

If you have the exact same regulator, than you should tell me how far you actually physically turn yours.(ex.1 full turn... or 1&1/2 turns... 1/4 turn)

I appreciate all the help. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

 

[svchop889]

well when you adjusted it was it flowing? because the needles will stay put when you turn the knobs if there is no flow at the moment. I think try it.

Adjusting the knob by the hose definately adjusts the flow... but the gauges dont move. That's why I asked donkey how far he actually turns his... Speakin of donkey, I wonder if he's gettin' sore hands from all the trimmin' yet?

 

[svchop889]

I ment was there gas flowing at the time you adjusted it?

 

[Subtlechaos]

OH! Yes.

 

[svchop889]

huh that's odd then.

 

[Subtlechaos]

I think the gauges are broke. Not exactly sure what I'm gonna' do, yet...

To The Grow
Just got back from the farm. I was gonna' post this sooner, but I had some technical difficulties. ANYWAYS!!!

Took a couple of cuttings off the Powerkush, today. Everything went really well for my first time cloning.

Got em' home and threw em' in the closet. My plan is to veg the healthiest one till' it's mature enough to be cut into clones, itself. I figure it should be ready by the 1st week of May. After cutting as many viable clones as I can off of it, everything's going outside. Even the hacked up mother clone. It'll make a fine entry for Ugliest Plant in this years outdoor grow-off.

The setup is simple. Two clones dipped in Clonex, stuck in rockwool, set on an inch thick perlite bed, on a seedling heat mat, under a dome, next to a small cfl in a lamp, under two 4-foot fluorescents. My 4-footers are 1 warm white, 1 cool white. Tomorrow, I've got to go to Wal-Mart and get some chains to hang my other 4-foot lamp.(Thus my technical difficulties) I'm supposed to have FOUR 4-footers, but two will have to do until I get my other light up...

Anyways, here's the pics...

Update: After these pictures were taken, I finally remembered to trim the edges of my leaves. So that's done now, too.Posted a grow journal about them, HERE.

I've also decided that I'm not waiting to flip them. This weekend is about 9 weeks of vegging. The Mama Mia has grown a bit, and has lots of nodes. The branches are still small, but I think she'll stretch nicely when I flip em'.... ... Hopefully.

Changing my timers, Sunday.

 

[svchop889]

sweeet on to the bud show.

 

[donkey.420]

I appreciate all the help. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

my bad man, are you adjusting the flow with the regulator powered up? might have some trash in there too.

i don't have 2 guages, just one guage for tank pressure and a clear tube with a ball that floats when its on

 

[Subtlechaos]

Though I was having issues with my clones... Turned out I wasn't giving my self enough credit. Apparently the Jorge and Mr.Green videos DID teach me all I needed to know about cloning. Lol.

Yeah, Im just gonna' have to wing it for a while. Fuck it. I'll get CO2 to em'... It may be about 1600 or 1700 ppm, but I'll get it to em'.

That's my philosophy on distributing CO2 with my broken-ass gauge... Too much is better than not enough.
