OMG i can't wait for the new journal e-mail! I'm sitting on the edge of my seat! What seeds you plan on germing?
germing? i'm already flowering them. i'll give a little preview....

started with 6 seeds:
1 Big Bud
1 Unknown from seed bank (which looks just like Big Bud, so i'm saying 2 Big Bud)
1 Feminized PPP
3 bag seeds

1 bag seed died and the other 2 were males.
which left 2 female Big Bud and 1 female PPP (which is sativa so slower growing...)

here are pics of them at 6, 10, 16 and 20 days...

I fucked up! my scale was screwed up so my yield for the PPP grow was way, way off.

I apologize for any confusion my misleading information may have caused.

I falsely reported a massive yield of nearly a pound - which would have been a whopping 5 oz per plant! The actual final yield was closer to 6 oz TOTAL! so the real yield was a more realistic one at about 2 oz per plant.

Again, I apologize for this inaccurate information but did not do it purposefully. And thank you fellow RIU-ers for not telling me how full of it i was for reporting that ridiculously high yield in the first place!

Thank you for your attention and forgiveness.

Hey email.....Looking great of course. Can you explain the how and why of the supercropping/cracking? Also have you ever grown soil? If not.....why do you believe so strongly in the hydro stuff?

Thanks!

i've never grow in soil but have nothing against it at all and I'm sure i'll give it a try someday (same goes for a CFL and maybe even an LED grow - but that will have to be in the future). Contrary to popular opinion, I guess I thought soil was harder cause you have to worry about over/under watering. I figured it would be far easier for me to read a pH and PPM meter and adjust than guessing if the soil is dry or not. and i started in hydro and liked it - which i guess is the best answer.

the idea of supercropping is to break or crack the stem enough that it heals with a bump or bulb to draw more water and theoretically grow larger buds possibly faster. But you have to be careful and not snap the stem in half. I mostly did it for two reasons - first reason was to experiment - i have never tried it before. The second reason is i quickly run out of vertical space and thought this would be a great way to keep the plant shorter and allow more light to reach more buds. so far it is working great!
