Sweet! +rep to you my friend! Thanks for the info, definately going to try to get that! I want to go organic, it's just that I already spent like $400 bucks on nutes! I'm slowly tranfering my nutes to organic products that are OMRI approved! I've heard awesome things about organic, I can't wait!

If this is your first grow... try laying off nothing but water at the end... I flush with nothing but water and Sucanat... ( sugar cane natural).... this next grow is going all organic... I do not want to get into a slagging match with anyone but when you learn how bad we are getting it from the "Grow industry" it will make you puke....

I have hidden my scissors for a few more days.... will post some more buds shots to keep everyone entertained ( me included).

Also get ytour hands on Volume 2 The best of Skunk Magazine: The Rev's grow issue.... it is the most informative publication I own for the cost....

Hey madcatter

After readin your post an doin a little research on the sucanat i found this thread Sucanat, Soo-ka-nat
An got some info on it an thought id try get some.....then i found out sucanat is the american name for it, an all sellers i found wanted shipping cost like $20...so with a little more research i found the english name for it is muscovado sugar...an gess what after all the searchin around my local supermarket sells the stuff for 99p for 500g...so got me a box!

i was thinkin bout usin for the 5-7 day flush i was plannin........How much would you use on my plant?

And how do i mixed it?

Also can i use it for longer and wile im usin overdrive for the last 3 weeks?

Im sure the stuff ive got is pretty much the same its called Billingtons Natural Dark Muscovado unrefined cane sugar.... it says on the box its unrefined so contains natural molasses of sugar cane

hope you can help bud or any 1 else with any input on the stuff cheers

peace

The sucanat is available at any good organic or whole food store.... I get it in a pelletized form that I store in a bin and put a handful in another container about 2 Liters and add boiling water... mix and leave as a solution... Add one turkey baster full to each 4 liters of water ... pretty darn cheap and easy;;;;

It is pretty darn easy and you would have to mess up by a seriously large stoner amount to frig this up....

Hope this helps

Goodness madcatter! Those are some big trichomes there, some big buds too! They've gotten bigger since you showed me the first pics!

I was wondering how you dry and cure your harvest? I will be chopping down another one soon!

I am very blessed ot have a really convenient set up for dry and cure.... My house is heated with an oil fired furnace to heat domestic hot water and in floor radiant heat.... a few lines hanging and things are good to go.... I also take the time to measure the weight of the freshly cut and trimmed buds, stems and all... over the next few days I weigh a couple of pieces and when I get down to about 25% of starting weight, I know I am in the zone for jars...

The buds are then placed in jars and each day they are let breathe a couple times a day... after a few days the jars are then moved into a cupboard where the temps remain pretty constant and there is no light,,,,

Then the rewards shall be reaped... in the fullness of time.... Peace and love

Thanks! I'm going to weigh them now, I wrote down each stems weight. I will follow your method, cj #2 has been hanging for about 3 days now and they look a lot smaller.

Thanks again madcatter!

sweet! I cut down CJ #2 about 5 days ago, put in jar last night. I'm cutting down CJ #1 tonight after lights out, then possibly the GDP. Only day 59 now but 90% amber hairs and the top cola is super swollen. I will check again with scope to verify, but I'm sure she's about done.

Can't wait to see the pics!

Goodness i've been too busy lately! Here's a quick update on what's happened...

3 of the 4 CJ's have been chopped. CJ number 2 is already curing, cut down at day 54. Smells and tastes like straight fuel, passed the ash test(clearex flush 3 days. Super head high, like 1 hit instantly! Tastes likes fuel, leaves a fuel aftertaste like no other.

CJ number number 1 was cut down on day 59, just jared today after hanging for 4 days. Hung CJ 2 for 4 days as well, stem snapped but didn't break off and the outside felt a little crispy. Just jared today.

CJ number 4 was cut down on day 60, currently hanging right now(smells nice).
DSCN2470.jpg
CJ number 3 is being cut tomorrow at day 63, as well as my Grand Daddy. The Grand Daddy smells like sweet grape candy(no flavor inhancers used), All the fan leaves have been sucked of their last juice and the soil is pretty much bone dry now. About 90% of the hairs are bright orange and the 10% of white hairs is on the very top of the cola. I can't wait to cut them down!

I have a Headband 707 in there as well that I put in 2 weeks ago. She's flowering real nice, I got this stuff from my local hydro guy. His secret recipe, basically use just 1/2 teaspoon with a gallon within day 1-21 of flowering. Stops growth imediately and starts to flower in 2 days hard! she still hasn't grown taller like the CJ's and GDP when I put under HPS. Literally all the energy goes to flowering instead of growing. AWESOME STUFF!

I'm about to throw in a Chemdawg teen in tomorrow, possibly my Sweet Tooth mom. She's the shortest of the bunch and won't worry me with the height issue. I got a rooted cutting of her and will take another round before I transplant. I'm running out of room in my mom/veg area!

I got rooted clones of blueberry, ATF, Sour Grapes, Agent Orange, and Casey Jones right now too!:-P

I want to buy a tent now for bigger flower area and adjust my veg area and make a full cloning rack!

Oh yeah, I just started 5 "SOUR TSUNAMI" (Albion Sour Diesel x Tsunami)seeds in 2" Grodan cubes today! THC at about 5.2% and CBD at a whopping 11.3%(GREAT FOR MY LOWER BACK PAINS!) I wanted to start growing some strains high in CBD for pain relief. Not to many out there in the bay area. This is a 90% Indica 10% Sativa at 9 weeks. I got 5 more seeds tucked away, there organic original(non femnised) so I got my fingers crossed. I wouldn't mind getting the pollen from one of the males to cross later, we'll see.

I also got:

KUSHBERRY (O.G. KUSH x Blueberry)...my first kush
WHITE SHARK x AK-47...sounds very nice!
HONEYDEW-SGSP...Flowers a little quicker, the original HONEYDEW flowers in 35-40 days! I'm getting some of those next!

I can't wait to start them, I just don't have the room right now! Too big too fast!

Just these two take alot of space! Left is Sour Grapes and right is Alaskan Thunder Fuck.

Thanks again guys!:-P

Are you sure you did all those things? She looks too good for that, I guess you got one that doesn't mind taking a beating! Excellent.
