Nice Ron... my last plans into flower look like they're at the same stage as yours (a week behind my first in). I've gotten so used to them being perky for the most part I feel bad if they droop even during watering. I feel better when they perk back up again though :) I like those leaves flat like a solar cell. I got some cuts in the side lighting that have their leaves flat and turned to the light like a radar dish :)

I love being at this stage because you really do see changes almost every day. I just can't wait til they transform into big buds :)

She's a keeper :) She finally had enough of being pushed around by her boss at her job and so next month she's going to quit. This has us thinking really hard about moving. It would be a tough choice because I have a lot of family here, i.e. old grandparents, and I know my parents and the rest of the family that doesn't live here really appreciates having me here.

So far we are seriously considering Eugene, OR. Between us we have a lot of friends in that neck 'o the woods and it just seems like a cool place. Somewhere with an ocean would be awesome... I'm originally from CA but moved to UT when I was little and have a serious ocean deficit in my life. Also, Colorado, I love you... but 6" of snow on April 10th is super lamecore!

BTW The NZ dream is not dead! But we probably have some bills to pay off before making a move that big is feasible.

I hear that... i've about had enough of my boss as well. And I feel the same way about CO :) It gets damn cold in oregon on occasion too though ;)

my family has moved away from where i'm at only thing i'm really moving away from is my best friend which sucks because I don't make friends easily :) We barely see each other though these days anyway due to schedules... if i came back once or twice a year for a few days i'd probably end up spending more quality time with him than the rest of the year with me living here :) i think before i move i'm gonna see if i can get him and another friend of ours to do a long discussed camping trip blowout and maybe make it a yearly thing to come back for :)

Oh man camping is the best. I am a dyed in the wool outdoor-a-phile. I have "miles to go before I sleep" from robert frosts poem tattooed on my feet because I love to hike. One thing that is awesome about Colorado is the mountains.... I am at home there.

Where you been Ron? We need updates! I'm saving and getting ready to upload my latest vid it's gonna get ya salivating the oldest week 5 plants are turning from hairy buds into major nuggage. Pretty sure I'm gonna have a few QP+ plants. Pretty sure a couple already have over a Z on them with 3-4 weeks left :) Please please please I can't wait to shove it into the anti-LED peoples' faces :) Some douchebag on another thread had the nerve to say good led results were just people taking their hps plants and doing fake photo shoots under led lol. Assclowns.

Yea I need to get back into using my LED's. Should start a couple of my new seeds this weekend now that I got some coco. Hopefully I don't kill them this time. It's already getting hot here. But then again, a week ago there was snow on the ground.

I had phenomenal results using my LEDs and some flouros my first time out... As long as you have enough light per plants, should be awesome!

I don't know why I havent been updating as much.. just busy at work I guess. Things seem to get going pretty well. I water about every 3rd or 4th day and the coco always seems dry and the plants are ready for it. Here are some pics











Quite the little forest... compare that to a couple weeks ago:



And I'd say things are looking pretty good. It's always in this time period that I get ansy. I feel like I should be doing more. Taking a more active roll. I should probably trim, and get rid of undergrowth, but for some reason I'm more content to just watch them go all Jumanji....

Haha it's your grow ron :) I'd probably be a lot less stressed if I could take a more relaxed attittude to my grow.... who knew the one thing i'd be anal retentive about in life was growing cannabis ;) how many weeks in are you now? almost 5? or 4?

Mine are almost all done except for ripening... 2-3 more weeks for the first few into flower... 3-4 for the last... one or two of the laggers look like they may go another 5 (10 weekers)

Tonight's time for my weekly vid update :)

Wait til yours look like this!

Those do look awesome reef. You got me all jealous over here. I still got at least a couple weeks on mine. (we all flipped together right?) Found some balls on a few of them, so looks like I'll have seeds in my bud. Will be a first for that. Not super happy, but the way this grow is going, if I can get any bud to smoke from it that's a win in my book.

I love the 2 week comparison Ron. What a difference.

No I think you flipped a week ahead of me and ron flipped a week behind.... mine will probably go a bit long though as they only get around 11:40-11:45 of dark time (due to moving them every 12 hrs) and then for watering i'm pulling them out of the cab and they sit for a bit so on those days they're generally getting an hour or two less of quality light... and my small pot j(2.4g) plants are now up to daily waterings... the 3.4s are almost up to daily too. Really appreciating the ones in 5+ gallons... the 8 gallons i'm still watering once a week or less. 5 gallons about once a week. I need to go all 5 gallon+ next time :) buying a bunch more 5 gallons ain't gonna be cheap though

6-8 weeks. Less you're not gonna get big buds, more and you're gonna get really big plants :) i think with the cuttings I got going they won't need 6 weeks though I could put'em in to flower now if I wanted single colas! Geez once I get to all cuttings if I went SOG I could get an extra harvest in each year... and I do have 50 1.5 gallon pots... maybe once I get keepers selected :)

I do have to say, that the pineapple express is super fast, and I wish I had more of it. Also it smells redonk. Will have to see if I can get another slice o dat one. God I got so many plants to grow and so little space.......
