    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    thanks bro! definitely appreciate the +rep ;-) I'm hopin' another week to 10 days tops. The Bubblegum are a bit slower in trich' maturation, which is perfect since I wannna harvest both at the same time but still retain a more "up" high for the Bubblegum and couchlock stone for the NLX. A...

    What to get!

    Yeah the clones i got were grown from T.H.Seeds. I take it attitude is tone of their retailers? we're spoilt for seeds here in Switzerland :)

    What to get!

    Hey! I'm close to wrapping my first grow and I think you'll like BubbleGum. It's a sativa-dominant hybrid so you can get a really euphoric, uplifting high without the long flowering cycles associated with pure sativas. It's got a really sweet scent too, hence the name :D It was easier to grow...

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    Thanks! and since you asked for it ;-):mrgreen: The actual pics are more than double the resolution of what I've posted. This is a cropped from a full-size pic: Like I said, it beats the microscope :dunce:

    Q: difference between 1st 2nd & 3rd generation plants

    good points. I'm with this school of thought as well.

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    I know it's 1:1. f/2.8 just indicates the largest that the aperture will open. I believe your lens has the same f-stop rating which is what you want for macro photography.

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    hey caddy! I'm also using a 40D with the EF-S 60MM f/2.8 macro lens. I also tried under the HPS but I guess you know how the pics come out. So i basically took the plant out of the Homebox and placed it under my bedroom's spotlights (no sunshine today for natural light).

    10th week flower, flushing and finishing but need help

    well think of it this way: your plant is slowly dying when it's budding. For the plant, budding is the last resort in passing on it's DNA in the hopes that it might catch some male pollen and make seeds. so what can it revert to? death is inevitable. So it will give the last of its energy to...

    Are my Plants Flowering on Normal Time Schedual?

    Then in that case you've been flowering for 3-3.5 weeks. Make sure there is no light leaking in during the dark period, and start using blooming nutes if you're not already.

    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    As promised, here are some better hi-res pics. These are all of the NLX. I wanted to take the Bubblegum out but they're not very mobile since they're all tied up. It's messy in there :lol: The first two shots are of the main cola. The others are from a lower branch bud.

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    Nice! In all honesty I've never smoked either of the strains i'm growing. What's NLX like? I know Northern Lights and I know White Widow, but have never had their offspring :D

    10th week flower, flushing and finishing but need help

    not really... wait what? people usually harvest the entire plant at once based on how the main cola and top buds are doing. However, this means that lower buds are still slightly immature when harvested, as plants closest to the light finish earliest. So these lower buds end up with a less...

    Are my Plants Flowering on Normal Time Schedual?

    They do look kinda small for their age, but then again I don't know much about that strain. did you count flowering form when you switched to 12/12 or when they actually started budding?

    10th week flower, flushing and finishing but need help

    A lot of folks do it as your roomie recommended. It makes perfect sense, but I too choose to chop it down all at once. I don't mind a diversity of highs from one plant :eyesmoke: though you could slightly increase your yield by letting your lower branches flower without the top cola blocking the...

    yeah but I wanna see the overall percentage of clear/cloudy/amber, not single trichs ;-)
