Gonna have some massive sized colas in there, awesome!!!
LOL, You're gonna have to change your header to --- WANT TO GROW A PLANT AND HARVEST OVER 2 LBS --- After this one my friend
Cheers brother, pretty happy with their progress so far, and yeah that was taken on the 36 degree day last week, hence the droopnice plants man!! they do like they could use less water perhaps, or was that a hot day
Gotta love burnin the ring gear with a nice hot chili! I myself dont know how they flowered so early maybe because i started them inside and that brought on a mid-early fruiting
My bets are on white lightening, shes going to take off!!
A mild frost lately, actually i have a few purple flowers on the weed plant, but nothing really special, i checked on the indoor before. WOW. Over-night resin
ive gone the less is more approach with nutes this time and they seem to be really loving it so will stick to that till they tell me they need more! Sweet dude, well those chilli's will do you well hey! Starting them
inside is definitely what got them going too! My bhut jolokia's are apparently 3 times hotter than habanero's coming in at over a million scoville units, a thai chilli is about 200,000! Ive been having bhut's as powder on my meals and damn ive had some mad gut pains hahaha! Love it!
Man your plant is a real picture of beauty, i could stare at her for hours! She's sooo purdy
watch her swell now! Im tipping over the 2lb mark this time

I am starting to think now that i maybe went a little over-board lol. I'm still going to have to tie the net up some more she keeps leaning here and there, some colas are as big as my closed fist and if there was no net it would be disaster!Glad you love it!! I'm in fantasy land and not sure if this is all just a sweet dream
Thanx mate, but not to get confused or ahead of yourself, i didn't start with 1200 watts, i have only used the side lighting the last 2 weeks to help bring the humidity down and temps up, was running a little cold with the air cooled hood, so i like to pump a bit of heat in there to simulate a hotter part of the day..
The system is a 2 pot basic flow and drain system, you are correct in that its 100% perlite with a small layer of hydroton on the bottom. This is all held in by my pot sock in the inside pot which has 4 large drain holes which allow the flow to drain into the bottom pot without flooding or blockages. It return via gravity because the pots are raised off the ground above your nutrient level, so a low wide res is recommended, 40-50 litres per plant. I used to used a 120 x 120 tent 200 high and had no problem filling it to the sides and getting 1 - 1.5 lbs dry. Lol on the God part
I had a really good teacher and i studied horticultural science when i was young it wasnt until i had my first pipe that i realized something clicked and i wanted to grow herb. I guess i too was sick of seeing average and tasting average weed all the time. Always felt like am i going to waste money this time??? I haven't felt that in nearly 3 years.Have a good read through the beginnings mate, you should find more than enough info to get things in the 'know how' You can always start small. But i jumped in the deep end straight away so i could see what was possible to encourage me. I didn't want to see it as 'not worth the risk' Because you know what!? IT IS. You deserve to be happy! No one told those fukers they couldn't smoke a plant when they were young.
Tuesdays Rant
You dont have to read it!!!!Before i get in my car for a drive, i make sure i get as humanly high as possible, go out and not give a hoot about the government and the system. Many years ago we had a drunk driver crash his car through our yard just missing the house could of killed us all. We asked for a council fence to be put in place, you know what they said? No one was at serious harm or hurt badly so we can't put a fence to stop the rare occasion that this might happen. I asked to make one, they said 'WE'D REMOVE IT.'
Well you know what? This is me not giving a fuk what they think, i'll make a damn fence. I'm going to concrete solid steel poles 2 feet out of the ground 4 feet under. They wont remove shit. If they try i'll show them photos of a 30 year old palm that got knocked down, not to mention the unrecognizable car!!!
So who really gets a say these days?? YOU AND ME, AND EVERYONE
time to kick their asses. Not aloud to have a high fence....... cant have a fish pond in the front yard...... cant wash your car using a hose cause your wasting water....... What is honestly wrong with these completely idiotic morons?? Do we all have to walk the street and just trample them all? I guarantee there is more of us than them.
Come On people!!!
The police are no longer the police, they are just annoying pathetic lying crooked fuks with egos the size of the sun. When is the last time someone seen them 'helping the community to protect and serve' ?????!!!!!! LOL!!!! anyone see the recent bashing that a cop did to a couple of crooks in Adelaide?? Good thing the news van was rolling past. That is what the cops are like. Yeah not all of them, but what gives? That baton they use is solid lead wrapped in leather if you didn't know... how do i know? i managed to pinch one off the dicks.LOL!!! getting close
Great info man!! I had no idea that the thai was only that much, i didnt keep the tag, surely there are different varities?! this came from a gift store specifically saying hottest in the worldCheers brother, pretty happy with their progress so far, and yeah that was taken on the 36 degree day last week, hence the droop

i hope its atleast ring stingin!!!! lol i suppose they'll say anything to sell it right? how do they test the hottness by the way? I'm glad you like her man, i love all cannabis plants, although me re-veg is quite ugly at present, but i'm sure she'll change. shes a bit big..... scary

Yeah bro, your thai's will be ring stinging i guarantee! Give them a good hit of potash every 2 weeks for a while and they will not only ripen but have a really good flavour ive been growing chillis as long as ive been growing ganja and have got them down pat! Once the first few start to change, start picking them and the rest will ripen quicker too!
They use liquid chromatography to measure the amount of capsicain present in chilli's, the higher the amount, the hotter they are! A few mates and i dared a mate to eat a whole bhut jolokia (known as the ghost chilli) for $50 each. Well he ate it and after 45 mins started hallucinating and screaming in pain. The heat lasted about 3 hours and he paid for it for the next week in his guts! Funniest shit ive ever seen hahaha!
Your outdoor girl will look wicked once it goes to bud, theres still about a month of growing before she'll flip over she'll be massive lol

Hey another question for the master, I remember you mentioning that heat increased potency I believe? What about humidity? Temps Between 26 and 28 but humidity around 20? (During flower) What are the effects of it being that low? Does keeping it higher effect it somehow? Gains in size or potency? Also I'd like tto mention everything is healthy and lush, just always looking to improve of course like most on here

good info on the chilis! i did hear that giving them less water can help with making them hotter! but wow i had no idea they could cause hallucinations! i understand the heat and pain though!! Little worried about the size of the outdoor girl, i just pulled an ounce worth of buds just from the bottom section and i barely even touched it.... they can dry in the shed lol. Not fussed at all! a few bugs here and there like white flies and a couple of mites but nothing to worry about. They'll scatter now that they have been cut hopefully.

Good question
I do remember saying that, and still back my own opinion but i also stated combatting the heat issues aswell, so having high heat i took extra measures to make sure i had adequate ventilation so when she sweats a bit harder in the hot times she can tolerate it and the moisture will evaporate leaving the leaves pores open to transpire and continue growing. Minor drawback is she will go through more nutes and water, so you must stay on top of things. I try to push her to the limits while trying to combat each stressful factor, like heat, wind, Hot hot sun (light hehe) Which i also cover with glass. I do think Humidity can increase potency to some degree and most likely with each specific strain intended for that type of climate, as if you can simulate that then you know you are getting the most out of your plant.So yes i did say that, but to clarify (and complicate once again...) Its not justy 'heat' that makes potency. BUT Simulating the Hot sun will i turn make the plant produce more trichomes as 'sun screen' to protect the buds from many environmental issues.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate
wow. Just gorgeous. I think you may just have maxed the potency meter!!!! and colour!!!couldn't rep ya BUT you know i tried!!!

flowa thax for all the info in there guess i miss read just a lil somewhere along the lines but thanx for the clarification i appreciate it and i got ur general idea and concept down iam a visual/doer lol reading aonly does so much but u have great pics that explain alot and u make things simple not complex out the butt ill deff coninue to keep ontop of this thread and c what i can figure out and do on my own next to figue out potash and all that lovelyness lol

Thanks for the response! I guess what has me thinking is I've read a llot about optimal humidity being between 35 - 55 % but never any reasoning behind it or what gains you get from it, I've been running at around 20% ad did use a humidifier to bring up to 36% or so, what is the reasoning behind this optimal percentage and for what gains?

Dude, Slanty those buds are WICKED!!
Too easy with the chilli info too Flowa, the least i can do for all the wisdom and knowledge you have passed on you are right about starving them of water a bit too, it does increase the heat i only ever water mine (when fruiting) once every 3-4 days depending on how hot it is!
And wow, an oz already of your outdoory lol thats unreal!

Humidity is fine around 50-90% while in veg, and never more than 60-65% max while in flower. The added moisture helps with humidity in a dry environment making a less stressed plant. But in flower too much humidity can be a bad thing, so depending on the strain will somewhat affect the potency and flavour. Also the speed of growth.
no worries man!! Potash is for 'carbohydrates' is food for storage for the flower ahead while the plant goes into survival mode. Pottasium ( potash ) will feed for a long time. An important additive.
Slanty ROCKS when it comes to awesome quality bud pornDude, Slanty those buds are WICKED!!

cheers for more info!!! i'm only guessing on the oz.... it filled 2 ice cream containers but no real density to it, i didnt trim or anything, just threw it in a box in the shed hehe. The old heat dry method in the shed, not bringing her inside too many bugs and timing not quite right. She has alot more bud on her than i thought...... what have i been doing?

Shit yeah mate, between you and Slanty im set for bud porn
Lol with the shed drying method too, ive done that in the past! Should turn out crispy
dunno what happened with the plant bro, probably spent too long in flower before goin outside. She's cool though, should still get some quality bud

lol, ahhh damn i let the cat out
I was so bad long ago..... It was a lucky opportunity and i just grabbed it in the heat of the moment! Maaaan, if i can find it..... dress my woman in a cop outfit can't promise anything yet, alot of our stuff is in boxes still and not sure what we kept.35 degrees F?? crazy!!! We will wait a bit of time for the fence but it will happen. Good morning here
all good matey!! I like cycoflower as they explain what each product does, but if you cant afford them, try advanced nutrients or dutch masters.
i put her outside just as she was going into flower mode due to a couple of dark night periods, like m indoor also, but this copped the worst of it cause no 24 hrs of light. I suppose you could say that my cut is almost an autoflower strain!? anything under 18hrs of light and shes shooting preflowers everywhere but flourishes in the indoor setup. I'm sure the outdoor will turn around, i will clean her up a bit. She will be my biggest outdoor yet for sure!! easily 1/2 lbShit yeah mate, between you and Slanty im set for bud porn

Ah yeah thats right, forgot she got the massive dark period..well the days are still getting longer for another few weeks then she'll go into full flower. I noticed the nodes on her are so close together too, she will produce some thick ass buds! 1/2 lb will be awesome dude!!

lol
i've been out of action, if only real life were as easy as it is to do these posts..... anyway! i'll post tonight, give me a little time slooooowly getting there, mrs flowa will be snapping tonight. She seems very excited to have this pleasure and i'm positive a beautiful job will be done
i'm keen to have a look also, getting rather smelly in there. Very dense also. The heat that spring has dished out had made Lady Jack skunk a hefty dense girl this round!!! shes starting to swell really hard now.... better not tease for too long.coming soon day 34

Wasn't implying for an update per se. I will take what I can get lol. Life can get very busy at times, even to the point where there is no time for hobbies. Hope u never succumb to that or else we would all lose out. I'm almost ready to start my hempy. It will b a hempy SoG cuz in my present location can't add or change any of the wiring. Normally i'd add a 40amp and wire straight to the gro location. Can't do that here and to be on the safe side (old building) I want minimal amount of electical draw. Will let ya know when I get there. Also frantically waiting for the 34 day update. I bet her colas are vibrant in color and just massive!! Can just visualize the goodness Peace!!
Peace!!
