Im no pro but i would suggest putting tin foil on the door too and where do you plan on putting the plants when they get taller? unless u cut them short looks like they'll hit the ceiling of your shelf.



hello everyone, last night i decided to top all 4 ak48, i used the unclebens method thats on the site, i bought some rooting hormone and going to try and save the cuttings.

i also bought another 5 bulbs and fittings so i now have 10 23w cfl's!!!

as the plants get taller i will be adding more light to the side of the plants.

let me know what you guys think.

cheers tamjam

first is a pic of one of the ak48 that had the topping

Just been browsing seeds and came across a nirvana indoor mix containing 5 different feminised seed. This is what the site says,


We have put together 5 of our most popular indoor varieties in one package! These popular selections are:

Master Kush, Afghan, Pure Power Plant, Skunk #1, and Nirvana Special! This selection provides you with excellent varieties, as well as quality genetics.

What do you all think of these strains, I shouldn't have a problem fitting them in my box, all 5 will be topped and only veged for 3 weeks.

Nice work!

I enjoyed reading your thread. I'm also on my first grow, just about 4 weeks into 12/12 though. Your grow gave me a good idea of what mine will look like over the next few weeks cause mine look about like yours did on 12-13-09.

I hope mine turn into the huge colas you have!

Alright tam :bigjoint:

Damn, I got to hand it to you mate, you have got green fingers, no doubt about that! Do you grow anything else? ....veggies, herbs etc? Something about that watering regime of yours was telling me you had a good understanding of 'gardening' generally :lol: I had doubts about the temps up there from the start but you proved me wrong, just goes to show. They look fantastic, fat colas typical of that strain. Must be about ready now if youre at 8.5 weeks 12/12, how do they look close up?

Anyway, the Nirvana strain 'selection pack' sound good to me, Master Kush is a beauty :-P They would finish at different times of course, the Power Plant would I guess be the last to finish? I last had PP in Amsterdam a few years back, it stank so much I left what was left for the hotel cleaners (as is customary) rather than attempt to get it home in the old Y Fronts as usual! By the time you come to flower it will have warmed up and conditions should be perfect.

Can't wait to see the harvest pics. I have just chopped my last 2 Mazars mate, so I'm somewhat overcome by the fumes :o but those pics of yours have put a HUGE smile on my face :bigjoint:

Take it easy tam,

ms.

hello MS thanks again you have been great and so much help to me and my plants.

lol no i dont grow nothing else but i now have my wife saying i best get on and grow some fruit and veggies!!!! and the temps u mentioned yes it wont be long and it will be nice up in the loft, i remember going up there in the past and it has been really warm up there on hot days, i will probably end up having to fight the heat!!

right here gos, last night i cut a bottom nug of the other plant that was no where near done dried it out quick and skinned up. my wife hasnt smoked nothing for a few years and it had us both laughing and being stupid:lol: her mum passed away last wednesday and after all that this put a massive big grin on her face:bigjoint:. the high was great thats why i decided to chop the smallest of the two now. the camera really doesnt show the brown pistels, but its about 50% of them are brown

i only cut the tops of and left the lower stuff to finish properly, i will be getting some scales of a friend tomorrow to find out the weight when dried out.

probably not a lot really but im just overwhelmed that i have grown this and that is priceless!! not long and we can get toking.

i am gonna leave the other plant go fully until its ready, compared to this baby that one is a wopper!! the colas are massive.

any way heres a few pics and many thanks for all the help and advice from all of you.











and they were seriously sticky!!!!

right im ordering more seed on thursday so as im more into my heady high and not the coughlock type i just chopped the other girl!

total wet weight was 114.3 grams!!! im more than happy with that plus that will easily keep me going to the next harvest.

when thats dried that should be well over an ounce right?

and i had to be quick with the trimming as you can see as the kids were downstairs!!!
