BTW do you have a fan blowing on them directly? that really helps in developing sturdier stems.

Nice variety of strains you got goin! Lookin' good so far. Funny enough i just watched this documentary about how some people clone corals and make tons of money. I f I was you I'd use the MH lamps for vegging. You'll have less stretching, tougher stems, bushier plants.

i've been wanting to try auto-strains... Yeah plz do stop by my journal! I'm about to check your out ;)

Honestly the Sour D's are flowering slower than the Blue Russians. I say the Blue Russians have 4 weeks left, and the Dour D's probably another 6. It'll be worth the wait :weed:

Hey guys, just thought I'd share some pics of my latest grow (please feel free to stop by my journal). I have 4 Blue Russians and 4 Sour Diesels. Doing an indoor organic grow using the entire BioBizz line plus a few extras. Under a 400w HPS. Here they are after 30 days of 12/12 lighting...

I veg'd them for 6 days.

Flushing is when you give your plants excessive water to literally flush out built-up salts and excess nutrients. This is usually done for 1-2 weeks before harvesting, where you really want your plants to use up any stored nutrients. This results in a smoother smoke and drastically improves aroma.

Agree 100%.

yeah but molasses etc requires microorganisms to break the carbs down so that the roots can absorb them. Plus molasses contains metals, Phosphorus, etc so I wouldn't use it during flushing. I do use it with my regular nutes though...

Also forgot to mention that not surprisingly, the Blue Russians really resemble the AK-47s I grew last time. Looking forward... :weed:

Day 30 of 12/12 Just a few pics for fun. It's a bit hot in the room (88 degrees) and the humidity is low (30%), which should be perfect for stopping that nasty powdery mildew from ever returning. Plus I read that Sour D prefer hot and dry climates so hey! Sour D top: Blue Russian:

here's a pic. I wish i had asked here 'cause I did think it was a P problem so ended up giving it more nutes! ended up with a harsh, nasty-tasting smoke. Your problem might actually be excess N and a P deficiency. I would flush.

Definitely nute burn. I had the same problem with my Bubblegum plants in my first grow and also thought it was a phosphorus problem.

I decided to go with skimmed milk rather than baking soda. From what I can see it definitely works! I applied only once so far, then moved my plants to a bigger room with a stronger fan, HPS light and I put a dehumidifier near the intake. Humidity in the grow room has been reduced from around...

Today marks the 23rd day of 12/12. about 3 days ago I noticed some powdery mildew on one of my plants' lower fan leaves. Uh-oh, not again. I immediately wiped the infected leaves with alcohol, then misted all the plants with a 10% skimmed milk solution with a dash of cinnamon. That...

Hey guys, I just found a small patch of podery mildew on on one of my plants that's almost 3 weeks into flowering. Would spraying the plants with a baking soda mixture now be too late? would it affect the quality of the bud? here's what my plants look like:

well it's been between 10-12 days of flowering and 18 days of 12/12 lighting. Flowering seems to be going well. Can even see trichomes developing in the last pic.

Come to Switzerland and we can work something out ;) Man, can't wait to refill those jars. I can't resist anymore. A friend of a friend just harvested so I'm off to get half an oz. Switzerland without bud is just unlivable.

Welll "just came home" was in March, was too baked to post on RUI :p here's a pic of the jars I took the same day I arrived... :cry::cry::cry:

I'd say a good 6 weeks or so.
