Talk about some quick flowering.

Really love the sour smell of this Sour Diesel when I break open a nug. Might give it a try or something from the OG line. Maybe both.
I figure the OG is a favorite on the west coast for a reason. Get me a couple different strains so I can choose what I wanna grow and make it a perpetual setup.

vape is more of a "clean" smoke... it does not actually burn the leaves like pipes etc... i found it rather smooth, i even got an adapter to vape into a 3 perc monster... makes smoking a hassle getting everything out. those cheap ones found on auction sites work just about as well as a brand name.
i prefer a small glass bubbler and warm/hot water... something about the warm wet air makes the smoke less harsh at least for me.
nothing beats a fat joint for social smoke.

I chopped and pulled Extrema 2 for being a male. Still waiting for further confirmation on the others. If the other Extrema is male then I will be 0 for 10 with them being female and may write Sannie an email and see if I get any compensation with free seeds. I think the El Monstre is a female but not sure. I have had good luck with that strain and it is a good producer. The screen looks a little thin due to tucking, pruning, and culling. You can see from the pic that even the lowest branches made their way up to the screen. A few of them were cut and still will need to be trimmed off once I know the sex of them. Hoping I won't have to chop anymore but we shall see.

This is the remaining trunk of Extrema 2 that I left in the cooler. It still has the roots in the rez with the other roots but I don't think it will be a problem. notice the liquid that is seeping out of it.
I just thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share.
I know I don't have much of a following of my thread and I'm not really sure why but maybe it's because I'm an asshole or just plain boring. I don't know nor do I really care. I try to be myself and help other people/growers out in any way that I can. Sorry if this post seems off the wall. Just have some tension that's been building up over time and it's seeping out of me like it is from the trunk.
Anyways Love, Peace & Hair Grease!!

I found these charts and thought that they might be helpful to someone.
Notice the difference in pH levels between Soil and Hydro.

I think it's because we're in the DWC/bubbleponics section & it's not that popular.
P.s. Don't let someone else's by-polar rage get you in a funk.

there are some of us that are silent followers man. i have been in here since the beginning. just not saying much. my general feeling is people are mostly interested if they can add some input or tell u if your doing something wrong. your doing everything right so people cant get up on there soap box thats all

Exactly what I was thinking....I've been lurking for a while, but BB seems to have everything under control Lol
Not too much to say during veg anyway. √

Thanks guys!
UC: I try not to let that stuff bother me but sometimes it just takes over. Lol!
I know there is not much going on during veg but with a scrog it is a crucial part to know when training to the screen. If you notice the way I train and tuck thru the stretch and fill my screen out with the stretch instead of filling the screen out all the way during veg. Flip to 12/12 when the screen is about 2/3 full during veg and the screen will fill out nicely. Strains vary with the stretch but my goal with doing this is to end up with buds that start at the screen instead of being overgrown and stretchy. If you wait to flip then the plants will have nowhere to stretch but up and will cause lanky stemmy plants. It is very easy to let them take over the screen. So if you take nothing else from this grow, consider that. Ok with that being said I feel better and ready to see some buds forming. My lecture is over for now. Hillbilly Scroggin 101.. Lol!

Thanks! I'm not gonna leave. It crossed my mind but I'd rather just cancel out the problem people and move on with my grow.

yo blu, there are sometimes when stretch just cant be controlled check this out my laughing buddha at 4 weeks. the same day i dropped my screen down and flipped to 12/12
the screen is 1mx1m so pretty big but check this out 3 weeks later
the screen was pretty well chock o block before i start letting them grow upwards. which i did because i actually snapped off one of my biggest branches while trying to pull it down a little to tuck under again but being so thick it didnt bend and it snapped at the base. aaaagh. i deliberately didnt do any training until i hit 12/12 cause i wanted to see how much the stretch would fill my screen. there was no way i was prepared for what happened lol. actually looking at it side by side like this its hard to believe its nly been three weeks

That's alot of growth and the stretch is not always controllable but manageable in most cases. I have 3 different strains under my screen so yes it can be very hectic during the stretch. I veg mine under the screen to spread it out so I can manage and train it from an early age. Once the plant hits the screen and starts its sideways growth then different hormones kick in and put it in overdrive. Did you tuck and pull daily and move the branch to the next hole or did you just spread it out under the screen and let it grow. Cuz that plant looks like it would spread out wide if opened up by a screen. I sometimes tuck 2-3 times a day depending on their growth. My stretch is nearing an end so I won't have too much more tucking to do Thankfully! Either way, your grow still looks great but the lower part of the stems will be bare from lack of light. I cut alot of fan leaves (which some people don't agree with) to open up my lower and newer growth.
Clones work better because you know they are female. In my case I grew from seed which sucks cuz I have to weed out the males while they are under the screen.

El Monstre is a female. I have had like 4 of 5 seeds be female. Very good!
Extrema 1 may be a female. Still waiting but I think it's a girl. So far 0 for 9 females. This will be 1 of 10 female
Bagseed is still waiting confirmation but it may be female too.
If all 3 of these are female then that will be awesome and I'll prob have to get a drop light and put in there with a couple CFL's for a little more light. I may pull a couple clones as well.

yeah blu i tucked everyday for as long as i could. as i said she filled a 1m x 1m screen no problem thats why there are so many tops without the screen i would not have come close to having that many tops probably would only have had like six or so. te buddha is just a beast i have been watching a lot of grows and i havnt seen anything else growing so fast yet. barneys did say she would grow fast and stretch but this is rediculous lol
