personally i strongly recommend attitude seeds. Always on time and discrete packaging. Only one seed had a problem the tap root rotted before it could push out but the freebies i got more than made up for the one bad seed!

Yeah I always go with attitude but was thinking about switching it up.
I have used Nirvana and Herbies. Was satisfied with the service, have not tested any products tho. One thing tho, make sure you use stealth with Nirvana otherwise they literally just stick the breeder pack in an envelope. Herbies was in a bubble wrap and said CD on it, they were packed in a container inside.

Nirvana didnt give freebies, and I wont order again unless i get them. With all these shops offering its foolish not to take advantage. Get some strains we may never try if not free.

i dont really have preference on where i get seeds from. all the seeds ive ordered have arrived within 3 days. i have ordered from marijuana-seeds.nl, attitude & just-feminized.com

all seem to have been ok. i have never gone with stealth as most places offer cd cases and i have had issues in the past with copies of movies and stuff going missing in the post.

Looking with the scope this am it seems there is a good ammount of amber, and mostly cloudy. I can either cut her today/tomorrow or next Tues.
I dont want to let her go to long. My hand is not realy steady so I struggle to use the scope, I am going to pull her out into the room today and try to get a better look.

If anyone can please offer a little advise here on what you think. Sorry about the external links, but the pic uploder here is not working again.

Would you say yes she looks pretty much ready, or no wait a week.... Im scared LOL...

First three pics you can see the trichs are getting white and not so much glistening.

Think I should go ahead and cut and hang her?

I will also be harvesting in the next week everything has gone so smooth other than my PH lockout. I doubt ill be fooling around with autos seriously, but I did enjoy growing this one.
The reasons I would rather not do auto is because they cannot be cloned and they use more electricity to flower so for me photo period is the way to go.

Top 69 from advanced seeds. Its a cross between Northern Lights and Afgan Kush should be a nice smoke.
i like the sound of that!

easily my favourite auto so far is the AKR, from what i have seen the NL kicks some ass too, will have to choose something else apart from the kush ryder 1 day i spose haha

Afternoon all!!

I've got a similar prob to 10acjed...i'm about 5% amber, 85% cloudy and 10% clear. My Blue Mystics are at about 6 and a half weeks flower (allowing 1 week after to fliip to adjust), but to me the budds don't quite look ready. I prefer the calyxs to explode, and hairs to retract, and this time want about 75% amber.

You think 1 week under my 250 HPS will do this???

It's my first HPS grow, and despite fighting mites, it seems to be a good week ahead of when I grew them with CFL...sound about right??

Excuse the pics, done with my phone, and some with 30x loop

Good Morning folks.. Thanks for the support...

Basics:
Smell: Skunky/Fuely/Fruity - or to us old timers, Dank...
Feel: grew really tight and dense, but seemed a little loose this am. Really sticky
Look: frosty, shiny and glistening. Trichs were slight amber, mostly cloudy on the main kolas. The lowers were still a bit clear so I only cut the top 12"

Estimate: so far I would say over 1oz hanging and popcorns left to go another week. Not too bad for 1 plant, still have 2 of these growing and a Sativa thats getting fat.
Was not able to properly flush this. Just ran 1 gal + sweets about 4 days ago, so hoping it does not affect the smoke too much..

Did I mention how happy I am I went with the 250W over flo's .... Yeas, you already knew that...


Before & After... Like weight watchers...

Some nice kolas. A little fluffy, probably from the high temp. I run in the low 80's.

All hanging for the week. Jars ready... MMm Frosty...

Thanks again to all who have assisted....

And the WW X BB multi is doable... I am just committed to a Wonder Woman grow next so it will have to be after. We can plan it...

Those look much farther along then mine. You could starve tem in the dark for a few days, should do the trick. Pic is blurry, but those trichs are pretty milky right now Id say..

So what you reckon, start flush, and harvest in about a week?? Like i say, my CFL's would have been about another 14-18 days from now, so this seems pretty early, or is that just the wonder of HPS??

Up to you really. Personally Id rather be a tad early than late. Dont want to smoke & sleep... But Im new so I will try dif things.

As I was told yesterday, either way the end result is some good smoke.....
