how do you mix the urine and water, what size container? Do you eat fairly healthy? Do you drink alot of carbonated drinks?

haha yea i eat pretty healthy; all organic food and shit. i dont drink any soda really. mostly water.

i use 64 oz containers to water. i keep them full for when i need watering (tap water that has been sitting out for over 1 day) and when i am about to water i use a pyrex glass measurer to measure out the correct amount to dump into my bottle and then water. whatever water is left after watering i dump out and refill the container so no nasty water sits there for future use.

Day 17

today's watering went as usual.

getting big

i'm thinking this girl is gonna have to get chopped. doesnt even seem worth it at this point

and these are some close ups of what look like pistils but i cant be sure. could be new growth. the stem is really thickening up

what does everyone think ?? :joint:

choop · Mar 11, 2011

Looking good choop, what happened with the one that was sick ? those roots look like they are taking space, nice nice

My neck would be thankful if you can rotate the pics before posting though lol

Hey Choop, sweet grow so far man. I just read your thread through and am glad to see that the plants started to have a growth spurt (nice touch with the urine). I'm subbed man. Good luck, I want to see what those cfls and urine can do.

choop · Mar 12, 2011

thanks for comments, guys.

the one that was looking sickly is still around and actually making somewhat of a recovery but i probably wont get more than a couple grams off her. pics on monday when i water again, i promise. i just woke up and looked at the big girl. the pistils are coming out at more nodes every single day this shit is insane!

HOW DO I ROTATE PICS!!! i have been asking this since the beginning. i have no idea how to.

lince · Mar 12, 2011

Glad to hear about the recovery

To rotate the pics you have to do it with an image editor. For windows you can use mspaint, it has an option to rotate, or with any other image editor like Gimp....

choop · Mar 12, 2011

the problem with my pics is that they are oriented correctly before i upload them.. after they upload it still looks okay before i insert inline them to my post and then after posting they are rotated? it's been pissing me off :wall:

choop · Mar 12, 2011

i wasnt planning on doing an update but i wanted to take some pics to show a grower friend so i might as well toss them up .

i havent mentioned it since the beginning so i will reiterate again here but my lighting has been on a 24/0 schedule.

right now i'm pumping 198 watts at em. all 2700k

DAY 5 FLOWERING

just watered using a 1:20 ratio of urine to water. the pistils are starting to get much bigger :-o

the little guy actually has a stronger smell than the big guy so far which is kinda weird but i'm not concerned. i'm actually surprised the little girl is coming back so well. by the way she looked a about 1.5 weeks back i was sure she would die

after i took these i plucked off 3 small leaves on the big girl. they were the ones closest to the cotyledons.. it now gets a lot more light underneath the canopy just from snagging 2 leaves off.

temps been hovering around 83-84 lately. not worried about it too bad. if the window is open it will STAY at 79 degrees

i havent even posted this yet and i know the pics are gonna be sideways i'm sorry. maybe if i orient them sideways before uploading they will show up correctly afterward? i gotta spend some time messing with it but until then please bear with me (is that how you spell bear for the use in its context? i just realized i never have written that expression before. sorry i'm mad stoned :leaf:

)

AND yes, that is ash and pieces of dutch master in the soil. i gotta complete the cycle and put it back to where it came from in earth... just doing my part

enjoy any thoughts are welcome as always :leaf:

choop · Mar 15, 2011

some pics from today. i counted at least 6 bud sites total so far that are already formed :leaf:

fourth pic is the main cola. no discernible odor yet. keeping fingers crossed on my filter. if i cant control smell theyre going to get the knife.

lince · Mar 16, 2011

looking good choop

lets hope you can control the smell, wouldn't like the other option.

choop · Mar 17, 2011

coming along nicely... pics in a few days when there is some actual change. solid growth though. now counting about 7-8 budsites already with hairs

choop · Mar 17, 2011

i havent really shown many pics of my setup so here it is. it is completely stealthed out in my closet. the blanket in the second pic drapes over to the right and keeps light from leaking. the exhaust is open at the top through a shelf and there is a light trap so only hot air comes out, no light. the last pic is what my closet looks like if you stare right into it with the door that wide open. you cant see anything. it is really quite amazing ive pulled it off so well. the fan is completely suspended so no vibration touches the wall n shit

tomorrow will make my grow at 4 weeks even. getting there. :leaf:

lince · Mar 18, 2011

nice looking cab you got there choop, good looking stealth job indeed, I do believe that making a grow box stealth is one of the most difficult parts of building them with the light and the holes everywhere lol

update

some pics i took last night while i was drunk so sorry if some arent fully focused. you can still see the extent to which my buds are becoming developed. what do you think for their age? seeing a budding pot plant for the first time in real life while it is growing is a truly beautiful sight... gorgeous flowers..... :-P
