First of I think they girls are looking wonderful man. Seems like the one on the right looks a bit more sativa, then the one on the left, maybe I'm seeing stuff.

As far as light coverage ......side lighting is awesome. Is there any possible way to turn your hood and light the other direction, I bet you would get a wider swath of light across the whole garden. I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing with my light or turn my table some how. The lights emit more light to the sides then to the end, so when I only have one tray set up I get a big section of wash light. Just a thought, but it seemed like it might help if it was an option.
I wish I could but I can't. If I somehow did the center of my hood would pretty much be at the end of my table because of the flanges and ducting.. I will just have to stick with it and use side lighting for now. The plants are looking pretty good.. The right one is full sativa. The left one is most likely a hybrid. I see some thin long leaves mixed in there now.. 48 more days lol..

Watered them last night with molasses before the lights went out. The right plant is a pain to train with all the fan leaves. They are blocking so many shoots from reaching the screen!! I want to pull a bunch but I'm not going to right now. I'm going to try to work around them for now..

That scrog is doing it's job in controlling the stretch. I love it. I wonder if Puff tries a scrog next grow after comparing our grows.. hell, maybe you and I don't scrog our next grow after seeing results. but seeing your girls in the scrog tells me a got a few more days before I should flip.

on my earlier post Mech.. I mentioned i took a couple clones from the very bottom of the plant.. I gona try to enduce one of clones to be a male (if this plant ends up being female) that way I could pollinate one of the buds from the mature plant to get female seeds.
I'de rather take a clone and spray it then to risk screwing up on the main plant. And with 2 clones my odds increase seeing that its my first attempt at trying this. i'm gona throw the clones into flower tomorrow.. regardless of rootsize. i figure it would be just like starting a seedling on 12/12. The bottom line is, the clones will let me know if I got a female or not in my DWC.

Oh yeah,, you and I have the same temp and humidity gauge. I actually have two of them. This week I got a temp gauge with the wired probe, to sit where future buds will be. It gave me a totally different reading from what we are using now. (then the bright light turned on) I used to Breed Boa Constrictors. One thing you had to have spot on was the temperature. So i found my Tempgun.com laser temp gauge. The top leaves were actually 10 degrees cooler than what the probes are saying. ( could be the cause for the slow growth) who knows.

Snakes.. Love them. I had hundreds.
Got a girlfriend and i don't have a single one anymore. :( makes me bummed looking at the old pictures. So now I grow bud. hopefully one day I grow bud as good as I bred Boa Constrictors.

Ya give it a while. It has filled in nicely around the plant as far as the smaller shoots making it to the screen but the main tops aren't really stretching out that much. I'm not sure if all my screen will be full on the outside edges but that's okay. I'd rather it be under filled than over filled and fighting for light. It still has a while to stretch so we will see.

As for the temps.. What matters is your room temps. I can't remember the technical name for it and its early so my Googling fingers don't want to work but there are different kinds of heat. Our thermometer is going to pick up both kinds. If the probe is in direct view of the light it will read higher even though its not that hot to the plant. I think that's how it works but like I said I can't remember the science around it. My thermometer says 77 anywhere in my room. I use my hand to see how hot it is.

When I was younger I had all kinds of reptiles. I had a 6 foot Burmese and a 5 foot ball python. I had every lizard you could think of it seems.. My favorite was Sydney, a 3.5 foot Savannah Monitor. Cool ass animal and peoples faces were priceless when they saw me walking her down the street with a leash. Dogs used to flip their shit when she started hissing with her mouth open and flipping her big ass tail around. She would have fucked em up. One time she took off up a tree and it took me 30min to get her down lol. I had to give her to the Fort Worth zoo cause she was eating rabbits and the vet told us to kill them before we gave them to her. Something about her stomach lining possibly being injured if they are still kicking around when she swallowed them. I'm a man but smacking a rabbit in a bag against the bathtub to kill it wasn't my thing. Plus feeding her got dangerous cause she knew what the bathtub meant. I would wear a baseball glove just in case lol. Feeding her in her tank was a no no cause it was getting hard to pick her up without being scared she was going to bite my hand thinking it was food.

maybe you could try revegging it then taking some clones.. i might consider trying that with mine depending on how dank it looks.. because as far as an indoor strain goes it's perfect.. no smell ..might be a fun experiment.Though i'm really excited to try the northern lights out ..decisions decisions..anyone here smoked NL ?

I have smoked some and it was fantastic and I grew NLxSkunk and it was easy and looked beautiful but I didn't get to smoke it cause it was murdered 2 weeks before harvest. Stank to high heavens but it might have been the skunk in it. BTW how is the haunting going? Gave me chills and I don't even believe in them.. I might reveg but my room will also be my drying room so I don't know if that would work.. I thinking wanna try a diff strain.. Maybe Chemdawg cause I've heard so much about it.. Still deciding..

i love both .. really dig a narcotic type of high with a few beers and some tunes.But equally as good is the sativa high were you just float about and feel like your in heaven..2 different types of euphoria that i enjoy alot..

That sucks you lost the skunk/nl mechanical..police or ripped off or what? i would be gutted with 2 weeks to go..
Nothing has happened since i posted that thread about the haunting..really trying my hardest to not notice anything.. oh wait now i think about it i came downstairs and the living room door was open and i ALWAYS close it .. but that could have been me just forgeting to close it..thats what i'm chosing to believe.

chemdog i think will stink to high heavens man ,youd better get a new filter lol

Chemdog would stink, and I've heard its not a great producer.. The second part may not matter to you, but I hate growing out a nice plant for a few months and not getting much off it. I grew out a landrace afghan kush from world of seeds, and it was beautiful, healthy strong little plant, but it only produced like 1.5 after a 2 month veg. The smoke was great, tasted like limes and hash, and the buds and suger leaves were coated with tons of resin. It was however not kept around due to low yield. Now I'm not saying chemdog would be that bad it is a hybrid and I've never grown it so I'm speaking from what I've read not my experiance.

I havent had much sativa. Thats why im excited about these.. Its all in your head lol.. Keep telling yourself that!! No I was growing in a box I built at a friends place. Originally it was at an apartment in the laundry room and the exhaust was pumped out the dryer vent. Then they told me they were moving back to their house so I had to put it in a spare room. You know how stressful it was to transport a box with two plants in the back of a truck minutes away lol. Now that I think about it that was so stupid. Well the exhaust had to be pumped out into the new room. This was not a problem as long as the ac was kept at 72 degrees I could keep the box temps at 78 cause it was just a 150w. They were on a 3 day water schedule and going perfect until one day I got the hunch to check on them early 2 weeks from harvest. When I got to the house I noticed it was hot. The ac was set at 82 while they were at work for 2 days. The room the box was in had bad circulation and no probe for the ac. The room temp was 90 degrees and the box temp was over 100 and dry as fuck. The plants were crispy as fuck and I was so irritated that I just left and never went back. I might have been able to harvest something but they hadnt really swelled yet. I also wasnt smoking cause I was trying to get an oil rig job and knew I would take a drug test and I knew I'd be gone for 2 weeks at a time. I left an $800 box and never talked to them again. I was pissed! That was a year and a half ago. I should try to get it lol. I dont have finished pictures but I stained it and glued fake drawers to the front so it looked like a dresser. The top pulled off with velcro and there were 2 pins that pulled out to take the front off.

So far I counted 47ish future colas above the screen not including any newer ones. Then there are about 15 that are right under the screen. Im happy with that..

The best sativa i have had was one that i didnt grow ,a friend from my old job sold me a small amount of what he said was kali mist.It was fantastic.In fact i don't know why i havent grown it yet.

47 bud sites already .. if they even produced 5 grams each your up to about 8 ounces..they probably go higher than 5 though lol..

I'm aiming high!! I want .75g/watt. I want a lb damnt but if I can get .5g/watt I'll be happy.. I looked at Kali Mist a while back but something I read said turned me away from it..

lol , i know you will do alot better.I'm just saying worst case scenario half a pound.. i would say you will hit a pound.

what did you read about kali? something i should know before i go and order some beans ..was it the 80 day flowering period

Honestly man I can't remember but it might be the long sativa flower period. That's not a scroggers friend lol.. I was thinking Apollo 11 even though thats a c99 cross. Maybe Train wreck.. .5g/watt is good for regularly grown plants so if I don't get more than that I wasted my time scrogging..
