Nah. Nothing yet. Hope it just got stalled in customs because of a back-up or something. I still have high hopes! I'm a patient guy! :)

I will be starting my autos very soon(afgan kush, easyryder, and ladiva) they are going under 400 mh/hps and I wanted to know what size container to use to keep them around 18inches tall? I was gonna use 1 gal but now I'm second guessing myself. Grow area is 3x3 for 6 plants. Any help will be greatly appriecated.

ah pisser dude, i'm sorry to hear that. It really should be any day bud. The ratio on customs really is negligible @ best. Prob. just some slackness w/ the yocal snail mail.
It'll happen, man. Right on keepin a good tude bout it. Prob. go ahead & ask for a tracking number, just for giggles though.

Keep me posted my man, & hang in there. You'll be sproutin before ya know it

KB & nimbin, here are the latest & greatest.

Check em out & lemme know what ya think. I know my photo skills still leave quite a bit to be desired, but hey.

Thanks fellas, lookin forward to that sweet sweet chop day.

Nimbin, my pH is draggin down to 5.0 on a daily basis. 5 gal res. & been toppin of daily w/ a gallon (4liters) of straight distilled every day, whatcha think?

I know its def. not ideal to add pH up or day EVERY day. But I've been havin to keep juicin some UP in there to keep @ 5.9 for bout 12 hours. Then shifts back down to low 5's. Endin up hangin @ 5.0.

Ready to start runnin straight distilled anyway, so i guess its not that big a deal.

But whats ur preference. Do lower ur flush's pH to 5.5-6.5 as well. Or run it untouched @ 7?

preesh it all guys!

sh2h, it looks to me like flush time.thoses babies look like they are abit calcium deficient. bet thoses leaves are brittle as.i only run straight water, i don't worry about checking the ph in the final days, it's of littleuse because by the time any damage shows up they are already hanging in your dryer. plus i only have rain water and the ph in it is usually good.seriously man i wouldn't worry about it now.the other reason i say flush now is because the leaves are going yellow so no more photosynthesis happing in those puppys,dont stress about the white hairs they will go brown as they dry.i have noticed that towards the end of a cycle my ph does fluctuate and i have put this down to the plant nearing the end of its life so root matter is breaking down thus making the nute tank more acidic as it decomposers.just my opinion but i have found if i use canna ryizotonic through out the grow which is a root stimulator, when i harvest the roots are still crisp white and ph remains stable all the way through the grow.just my two cents worth. oh and i didn't get your message about dimensions and variety, sucks when that happens, now i always save the message before i send,so i don't have to retype if there is a problem.hope all this ramble helps.

NIce grow....have you decided whe your cuttin? I think i still have a week maybe 2 depending Im tryin to wait on the crystals to change but i noticed today some amber but only on some of the yellow leaves...and I'm not noticing them change to milky...not like my other plants I did before they look like they went from clear to a clear amber but again its only on a couple yellow leaves> Wondering if i cut off some of the yellow leaves if it'll hurt my yield...but i dont think the yellow leaves have anything else to give almost white yellow & all the leaves under are dark green> still producing more flowers..and all crystals on the buds are clear...she is tricky..Do you know if itll work on autos if i cut the heads that are ready when its time... and leave the smaller buds on the bottom if they will get bigger or mature more or if the plant will die when it is its time or if the shock of cuttin the rest of the plant will stop that?

Dont go for straight distilled go for reverse osmosis machine (can get a sink unit for 100-200.) RO water is the best to use (even better then rain water imo) I dont think you should worry bout PH for flushing they already been though a bunch of PH burning you can tell by the leaves. Just finish the grow out and figure out wth the problem with ur PH is. Different things can modify the PH of your water including the temp of it. Download this PDF made by the founder of Advanced Nutrients called "PH Manifesto" It didn't get much love on the thread I made but very very very excellent source for all PH info you can get!!

https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/314750-ph-manifesto.html

Advanced Nutrients have been comming out with ground breaking technology. To a few of their base blooming nutrients they have now made it so you never have to balance your PH or ppm!

When we decided to create the world’s easiest to use and most
powerful flowering system, it was important that we get it right. So
we interviewed hundreds of growers worldwide, just like you, to
find out exactly what you wanted from your hydroponics nutrients.
And guess what? It was back to work we went. We gathered up
the team of 12 scientists with their army of research assistants and
“worked our butts off” over the next 33 months, reworking everything
from the ground up and made it purpose-built to give you a continuously
bigger yield producing punch than ever before, streamlining your
workload. That’s why you’ll certainly appreciate the Bigger Yields
Flowering System. It takes all the guesswork out of you getting the
biggest yields, no matter what level of gardener you are.
Think about it, a Flowering System that will give you…

* Proven Bigger Yields or your money back.
* Potent, Easy Mix &
* Use Formulas
* l New, Powerful, Flower
* Fattening Formulas
* Formulas That Work Together
for Your Biggest Yields
* Start Stacking your Bigger Yields Bundles for Even Bigger Harvests and Savings
How did we do it? The Bigger Yields Flowering System nutrients are
coated with multiple sources of unique and powerful compounds, causing your Macro and
Micro nutrients to become powerful microscopic magnets attracted to
your plant’s roots.
These coatings give your nutrients tremendous flexibility to work at an
extremely wide pH range. Opening up your plants cellular floodgates to
rapidly inhale everything you feed them so they steadily make larger and
fatter flowers to give you branch-bending-bounties.
Imagine Never Again Having to Check and Adjust pH
Let me be a bit more specific... the Bigger Yields Flowering System
has a proprietary technology called pH-PPM Perfect that automatically
puts your nutrient solutions pH and PPM into the “sweet spot” for
optimum growth and flowering, and it’s built into every growing level
of the Bigger Yields Flowering System eliminating you having to fool
with pesky pH meters and PPM calculations.
Here’s how easy it is: if the water you use to mix your nutrients has
a pH between 4.5 and 8.5 pH (and that’s pretty much everyone’s water)
then you’ll never have to balance your pH or for that matter ever add a
single drop of pH up or down to your reservoir.
And how about never again having to remember complicated
measuring and application data?
Well, we heard you. All the base nutrients have been standardized at
4ml per liter, so mixing and use is ridiculously easy.
Now get this, all the supplements have been standardized as
well. You only need to mix 2 ml per liter. In fact it’s this way for
all the supplements used in all four of the growing levels: Hobbyist,
Expert, Professional and Grand Master with each level “stacking” on
top of each other, then you choose your base nutrients, and away you
go, that’s how the Bigger Yields Flowering System works.

* A Driving Push that Flowers Your Plants to Their
True Genetic Potential
* pH-PPM Perfect - No More Balancing Your pH
and PPM Ever Again!

Yeah man, I'm startin flush today.

Then I plan to stagger the harvest over the next week.

Takin off the top most diesel headsd & leavin the light on to allow the smaller gals down bellow to try & finish fillin out.

I really dont think anything will get "stunted".

THis is my first chop, so I have to say, I'm mighty pumped.

Hope you finish up well soon.

Let's compare notes & I'll let ya know some post harvest stats.

stay up brotha & keep me posted

oh right on dude, i totally forgot about this baby. Yeah the underground sent that out to me a few weeks back, shoulda remembered to look @ that.

Yeah, I'm startin flush today.

WOuld love RO machine, I'm gonna grab one here in the next 6 mos. or so.

THanks for the comments, I appreciate the help.

what can i expect if i cross a ruderalis indica with another ruderalis indica...will the offspring be less vigorouse than the parents? what are the pros and cons of doing this? thanks guys

1. how stable will the offspring of my two ruderalis indica be?

2. say i cross my ruderalis indica with my white widow.how can i effectivly pass on the autoflowering trait?

if i had stable all alike offspring from the two ruderalis indicas..would i then grow one of the offspring and breed it with the whitewidow? and then take a seed from the RI x WW cross, grow it, then breed it again with one of the original offspring from my original RI xRI?

please guys any input or advice on this would be great...

thanks in advanced

you should find a book with breeding in it, just asking question here and there is not gonna cut it cause your gonna get different answers on here then the flame war starts cause "my way is better then yours so your way is no good" ya know? And it is really something you should study and get into detail more. Its advanced growing, if your taking it to an advanced lvl then make yourself advanced as well..

your not gonna get a F1 right off the bat (meaning there will be different variations aka unstable cross)

to sum it up for you
F1 hybrid is a term used in genetics and selective breeding. F1 stands for Filial 1, the first filial generation seeds/plants or animal offspring resulting from a cross mating of distinctly different parental types. The term is sometimes written with a subscript, as F1 hybrid. The offspring of distinctly different parental types produce a new, uniform variety with specific characteristics from either or both parents. In fish breeding, those parents frequently are two closely related fish species, while in plant and animal genetics those parents usually are two inbred line.

Crossing two genetically different plants produces a hybrid seed (plant) by means of controlled pollination. To produce consistent F1 hybrids, the original cross must be repeated each season. As in the original cross, in plants this is usually done through controlled hand-pollination, and explains why F1 seeds can often be expensive. F1 hybrids can also occur naturally, a prime example being peppermint, which is not a species evolved by cladogenisis or gradual change from a single ancestor, but a sterile stereotyped hybrid of watermint and spearmint. Unable to produce seeds, it propagates through the vining spread of its own root system.

Edit: to pass on the autoflower trait just buy regular seeds and breed those to get w/e cross you want to breed it with the AF

Not trying to sound rude mate but IMHO your trying run before you can even crawl. Just take it easy for awhile enjoy growing.
