PEACE to all, keep up the good growin!
Cool, was curious about what you found. Don't think I'll need anything now bc I have a new hood for my 400 which has a built in exhaust fan, but might need something for the 250 if I grow in the summer...

Looking good, starting to fatten up a lil bit. Never had a plant this big before and hard to even think about what I'm going to get off of it. I look at it and think, ah it's not that big..but then I look at each of the tops and then it's like wow.. Not looking forward to trimming it all...but it's so rewarding when you see it all hanging!

Anyway, I put the clones back into soil. LOL, I know what a jagoff.. Can't make my mind up these days. I ordered a new tent which is 3x3 so it'll be much better for the 400... more room for plants.. I ordered a pack of Bubba Kush and a G13 haze from Attitude and got the 3 free fem seeds from DNA and the 2 ufos also. Good deal.

Looked at the trichs today and we're about half clear and half cloudy..Prob gonna need a few weeks. I want her very ripe and strong after this long journey. Gonna have to get rid of a bunch also since it takes me forever to smoke even an o. I know people want it strong so that's what they'll get.



I've decided to start up two Dinafem seeds..The Blue Hash and the Cali Hash..Gonna veg them a bit under the t-5 and then maybe the 250 for a week or so if I have to so I can fill space in the tent next to the clones after the big one is done. Prob have my bigger tent up too so I'll have the room for 4 plants. Prob gonna keep them smaller, but we'll see how they grow. I'm gonna start a new thread up and will link it here when I get them germinated. Sorry for all the random shit, stay tuned..

She's still going and not much has changed... Just getting more ripe. Hopefully she'll be done in the next two weeks cause I'm ready to get some other things vegging under my 250. Just feeding her water and molasses now..

Finally after a life of almost 5 months this "Mystery Plant" came down. For everyone that hasn't read through my journal, I ordered this seed as an Afgan Kush Ryder. When all my other autos were already flowering and this one wasn't, I knew something was wrong. There was a mixup with the seeds at WoS and I sent them an email to let them know. There was a big mixup I heard so I wasn't the only one. They actually sent me a 3 pack of AKRs to replace the seed I got. I'm going to grow those this spring..Keep a look out for them. Anyway, take a look at what this Mystery Plant produced after the months..

Even got a shitload of popcorn buds in with the trim..

PEACE MY BROTHER. Great job on the plant....it goes to show that your due dilligence and good attitude (and stick-to-it-iveness) pays huge dividends in the end. Plus rep for the journey and the info that you have shared with others in attempts to help...just a way to thank you for others. I have been watching you (obviously subscribed) and it has been a journey but I'm sure that you are pleased with thte results just like I told you. You kept a good attitude and it worked. She looked lovely, and just like bad ass chick I'm sure she'll feel GREAT GOING DOWN!!:roll::lol::lol:. I trust that I shall have success as such when I am ready to harvest.

I also trust that you learned a great deal from this and it will carry you out in the future. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK (thinking back I recall you saying that you wont be able to smoke it all and you would be giving most of it away and now I wish I was closer :lol:...I know if you could you would)

KEEP IT SAFE AND KEEP GREAT GROWING

Thanks man. It was a long journey to say the least. I have a 250w electronic ballast as well as a 400w. I got a great deal on the 400 when I was a few weeks into flowering., so the 400 was used most since I got it.

Hey Big, looks like you got quite the haul from the mystery plant. Good job. A few more weeks and I'll start another balcony plant. Should be warm enough by then. Cheers.

Finally, I can see how much all the time and hard work pays off. I'm very impressed to say the least. The nugs felt nice to the touch and the stems were almost ready to snap so I decided to cut it all up to weight today. The top is the only thing that seems to need a lil more drying before curing...

Top...26.7 gs

Total..6.1 oz

There's alot of nice purple in the frosty leaves covering the bud. Has a nice fruity smell to it. It's funny, it really reminds me of Paradise Seeds' Belladonna strain I grew a while back...

ENJOY!
