Damn she's budding up nicely, i hope my girl gets to this point sometime soon, how long has it been since she starting budding.....

Also any idea what the length of those hairs are, they look massive, mine are really fine!
budding for 6-8 days im guessing, its 12/12 from seed so it was soon

the hairs are really long which is surprising, on the head i think they are a cm long and the body a bit longer then that

Monkee, you have a lot of hits on this thing. Tempted to say you're paranoid. In earlier posts you would see barely a yellow and freak out, and now you're saying

"looking at the plants... they look like they are hurting... at this point you start to think if i really wanted to start a new grow this would be so much better and everything... the plants look like shit"

You know how some pot makes you paranoid? You're too close, you need to back up. Your plants are healthy. You have a massive amount of readers on here, take a look at others who started as you did. Most of them don't finish their threads and then we wonder WTF happened? Did the plants die? Did these people give up?

You have a ton of readers, and you have some Kind that is growing Bluntly.

I know that this sort of hyper speculation is the mark of a great grower, but as you've pointed out numerous times to us my friend, you are on an early grow, and if you look back at your own journal, you have told people, it's just for fun.

It's funny, because at first you joined for fun, but now, you're semi-professional, and the stakes are higher, you're feeling the pressure.

Again, take a look at anyone who started plants in the way you did, you'll see that you have developed quite a career in a very short time. Now you feel the pressure, and you won't come in first, but my God what a great drive you have had, and educated so many people. Your friends who grow so much better, they are what you strive towards, and they and your striving is how you have taught us so much but if you want to get a feel for where you yourself are at, take a quick look at the people around you, using the same tools as you.

In a race of many, you're in the top tier, and you're sharing and teaching with others, there's nothing else to be expected of you, so let the bud build, harvest it, lie back and have a fat smoke and get ready for the next steps, nothing wrong with that.

and yeah i agree, see the biggest problem is im in a competition with some other growers i know haha, dont mention it on here just cause i never thought to... and there plants look amazing haha

it is for fun, if it wasn't then i wouldn't do it, just after 45-50 days especally talking and writing about them everyday, you just get so involved it in and it takes up your time, and gets stressful

also its been in the back of my mind seeing the hairs is the smell thats coming haha, and how the gf will deal with it

lol, just a bit of added stress

Day 48 - ONA Update

tons of people have asked what happened with the ONA, and i threw it into a bottle and it sat around not smelling

so today instead i got something to push it around the room...






the only thing im worried about is the fan being to powerful and either making the room smell TONS like ONA, or it drying it out to soon

Go to a pet shop and get a timer for fish tank lights. Can set them to whatever you like. Shouldn't be more than 10-20 bucks.

You trying to do that every 15 mins? standard cheap ones come with enough pins to have it come and off 4 times a day. For 15 on 15 off all day you'd need a digital timer. Those cost a bit more but as far as I know if you get the right one you can make it jump though as many hoops as you like.

Day 49 - Some burns

Hey everyone, I was looking over the grow journal and I was uploading pictures, with this update there will be almost 200 pictures for the grow, thats 4 a day!! wow

Well here are the plants today, not much to say about them but the burns gotten a bit worse, tomorrow ill give them a bunch of clean water and hopefully that will be the end of it

Lets start taking bets for the final weight of BOTH PLANTS TOGETHER, dried bud... they are about 13-16 inches tall

Day 49 - con't

I was sitting back in my room and i had the small smell of weed started to come around

I walked over to the vent and I can tell theres a small smell coming from it... carbon fliter may be finished tomorrow, and the ONA doesn't stop the smell like I thought it woud

Im worried about putting the ONA inside of the tent where it may work better cause im afriad it will affect the taste

i could care less about the smell... but the roommates said they want none lol

Carbon filter should take care of the smell, ONA is only a patch, and to cover any resitual smells passing through the filter. Thats how i use my absobing gel.

what i'm using is just some stuff odor absorbing gel i got from lowes, citrus smelling. It does alright, but just not sure if shes putting out little smell or what......

Have yet to replace my carbon filter or gel yet, but i really want to get some of the ona you have, and will when i go to a city that carries it thats not 2hrs away lol.
