GHS state the bigbang is best at 9 weeks but commercially ready in 8, do they mean 9 weeks from showing sex or 9 weeks of 12/12?

I think they count from showing sex.
thats what i thought gum, sometimes you do see breeders state from 12/12 but if they dont state that they mean from sex.

that means the bigbang may be ready in 11 days :shock: that would be good :)

good to see you shrig , yeah thats a cool website they have quite a few things i have my eyes on :) it will deffo be a dual spec bulb that i will choose with the kit im just wondering if a 600w is overkill for what i need as i dont plan on growing plants that size for a while. but if i had a 600w i like the idea of covering 4"x4", gonna keep the plants under 2 ft in future

Come on mate, one last trip down that ladder for pics? :-) I bet it must be a funny sight to watch you doing that, like a Big Bang with legs or something! I'm itching to see the harvest shots when the time comes.

hey there you are MS!! good to see you :) im very excited aswell, im having a problem with the smell wooshing through the house now lol its mainly when the lights and fan are off, its not really a big problem i just got to hope the police dont come knocking at the door for some strange reason!!! but apart from that all is good :)

I have chopped most of the re-veg and my bro popped round with some scales and its weighing over 30 grams after drying for 3 days and there is still a good 7 grams still ripening up on her plus the colas i removed before so im having a guess that all in all shes given me a good 40 grams minimum :) very pleased with that and in another week she will be going for another re-veg but this time im gonna save alot more growth so she comes back bigger and better. gonna re-pot aswell into a bit bigger one.

I will go get some pics in a minute as its been a few days since the last ones.

hows things at your end?

8 weeks and 5 days of 12/12

heres some more pics of the ladys :) i think i may go back up the ladder after this and get some close ups for you all.

big bang and trainwreck are looking great and are putting on some serious weight now, they have both had two feedings of the canna pk13/14 and will just be fed the bloom nutes for another couple waterings then its flush time i think.

the two new ak48's are doing well and i couldnt help my self but to bend them over lol :hump: i did plan on letting them do their own thing but being the stoner that i am i just had to change my mind, and by the look of things i have a boy and a girl :) that is a good thing because the SW48 is looking like its gonna happen, i plan on pollinating the ak48 and the mutant re-veg. lots and lots of beans :)

The mutant re-veg is taking off aswell and is gonna end up quite big i think, she was a cutting from the original seed plant that gave me a shitty harvest before because of the crappy multi purpose compost i used she really didnt like it but this time she looks very promicing

Next thursday the new light kit will be payed for along with some new seeds i think i may try some northern lights from nirvana but as usual im still trying to make my mind up and i have decided to go with a 400w kit because i think i can make better use with a 400w and the 250w. i like the idea of 12/12 from seed aswell now so could put a 250w MH on the 250w ballast to give them a good start and then when they start budding put them under the 400w which will be a dual spectrum like i posted the other day. plans plans and more plans damn i love this hobby :)

anyway enough of that crap heres the picture :)

yeah, how do you grow in the loft during lights out in the winter? if you could make 2 seperate sections to your loft, you could have a 12/12 on one side at like 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and hte other section could be 8:00 pm to 8:00 am so that one section is always keeping the other section a little warmer than without it.

last winter i ran the lights at night and they managed to make it to the end :) thats a very good idea gumball i never thought of that cheers but i think to keep it simpler i will just have one flowering cab and run the lights at night and use a small oil filled rad on a thermostat to keep their temps nice in the dark period.

The temps today have been high and has hit 95 up there but as usual they all look so happy :) im gonna make sure i get this built before the cold starts hitting us, i'd say i got another 7-8 weeks to build it.

And i got some bad news :cry: im thinking both ak's are male :wall: gonna go get some macros in a minute to confirm.

maybe the critical mass
http://www.pick-n-mix-seeds.com/products/advanced-critical

and maybe this but im not sure as i cant find any grows of it
http://www.pick-n-mix-seeds.com/products/homegrown-fantaseeds-ac-diesel

Or what about good old northern lights from nirvana?
http://www.pick-n-mix-seeds.com/products/nirvana-northern-lights

Sorry to hear bout them males man, that sucks! But the buds sure do look tasty!!
yep it is a bummer but i was hoping for atleast one female, oh well thats what ya get for not using femd seeds, mutant re-veg is now flowering away so say 8 weeks im gonna have some potent snowwhite buds again, the re-veg that i just cut is not in the same league as the mutants buds they are hella strong :eyesmoke:

ok i got a plan why dont a few of you pick what i grow next :) say Maturesmoker gumball bigman shrigpiece and v12xjs pick a femd seed around the 5 quid mark and they will be what i buy on thursday!! what do you all say?

Something that finishes quick and is compact (no sativas, hybrids are fine) i like the kush strains so get choosing guys, im sure you all got good taste when it comes to buds so i trust you all to make a good choice :)

post a link of your chosen strain from the pick n mix site i posted earlier

i look forward to your choices
