Well Dr. I think its best to take a few cuts from what your growing at the time before you switch to flower, keep them as clones growing in a veg area, and if you keep them clearly labeled you can easily pick out what was the keeper, if any and get rid of the rest. This way you dont have to do a reveg to get cuttings from the keeper plant.
My plants are looking beautiful and smelling better everyday. I am seeing a lot of nice bud sites forming, looks like its gonna be a decent yield if they get some size and weight to them.

Cool bro.. sounds good to me ,think ill start that process on this up coming batch ..
2 chronic seeds -serious seeds , 4 haze 4 cheese i took more than i needed just incase some died.
My mate just got a load of seeds i aint heard of before:
Sharksbreath
Rocklock(Im sure i seen one of the heads on here growing that?)
swiss cheese
Fruit Punch
getting couple seeds off him real soon any info on any of them would be helpful.

Hows your Chronic doing Dr.? Mine is a monster, it out grew every thing in my tent. Its stuck in the corner due to its size. Where did you get your cheese from? I have a greenhouse cheese that is the runt of my group, it has a nice root system and all, healthy, just short compared to the rest, it looks like its more sativa too, so I find that interesting. Good luck with yours, hope they arent runts like mine. With chronic and a haze in there your probably going to want to keep those cheese in the middle because they probably wont keep up with everything else height wise.

DST, if I remember, I'll get some pics up before the lights go on tonight. I gave them a dose of flower and grow nutes last night. Tonight they get water and gravity. Masonman, nice job on your 'room' and I see you are going vertical. I need at least another ten years to do the things I want to do growing. This winter I want to try to turn out as much weed as I can so I'm going to try to keep three mother plants and clone like crazy, veg the plants for a week after cloning is finished and then into one gallon grow bags for flowering, sorta like a sog. I want to do a horizontal scrog with a six by four foot screen, I want to try vertical growing and I want to try grafting. I was watching the urban grower and this guy in Holland of all places, has like twelve different strains going from one root stock. I didn't know you could do that, was anyone else aware of this technique? He spliced different strains onto different side branches of the root stock and had a dozen strains going from this one plant, amazing.

Rise and shine six hundred.

Whoa sorry i missed this post Headsup. I haven't given up on my cave and a horizontal scrog at all. I did build a second room which could also double as a nice walk in closet orr a vertical grow room haha. I got a 4ft glass tube for big bertha that i need to retro fit into a lightning rod with ventilation to finish out my budding ladies. Came home from work today and all i could smell was skunk. I have 0 ventialation at the moment and its bitten me in the ass. My clones got a lil wilted today whilst i was at work. fk,

Anyways I for one have't seen this grafting video. You should post a link.

Peace 1bmm

DST, sorry, I didn't get home from work until after my lights were already burning, long day. Masonman, I'll do that, just not tonight buddy.

Good work guys, nice bud starting to appear again. It seems we go in spurts, they'll be a little lull for a while and all of a sudden everyone is posting bud porn, I love it.

And cof, I've noticed the tungsten setting, I'll have to give that a try.

What shutter speed do you guys use for those beautiful shots? Genuity? Your pics are always great.

My chronics just started life the pic was taken today, Ive grewchronic before in soil though golas were fatt and that was at the start of my growing journey so im expecting good things, my cheese I got off a mate of mine . There wont be a problem with hieght as the tall plants will more than likely go together an the small one like wise, there going into tents next then in to flower room. my cheese grow lanky if you let them ,these ones need plenty Lst.

i use a kodak HD 10.1 mega pixels/with 12x optical zoom
i use the macro setting,or the flower setting,witch says is good for takein pics in bright light.

So has anybody figured out how to rig a vertical light mover yet? I know one of you clever guys has thought about it also.

Nothings impossible!

I've fed all of my plants the same and never noticed any special requirements
from the madonna. I don't have a meter for my nutes so I don't have any idea what the ppm is. current flower formula is 1/3 teaspoon jacks bloom booster, 10-30-20, 1/4 teaspoon pro-tekt and
2 teaspoons bloom booster per gallon which is giving very good results.
I was on Open Grow earlier and Sannie is out of madonna and has some questions about bringing her back
https://www.opengrow.com/index.php?showtopic=41968&st=20&start=20
This is the second madonna I've raised and she is totally different from the first plant. The other plant was green with fatter buds and better yield under adverse conditions.
I'll harvest this plant Thursday or Friday.
I hung the new blue diesel that bred to the herijuana earlier today. I was checking to see if the seeding was mature and two fully mature ones fell out, so I manicured and hung her up over a cover to catch any other seeds. These will be part of the seedbank.

I have thought about this, and it seems pretty simple to me. If you hooked up a regular light mover to your ceiling, and put a pulley on one side centered over your lights. Use some chain and eyelet bolts around the top of a cool tube, and hook the chain to a line hooked to the light mover.

Probabyl best without lights. Like you say, it's not like you just stuck em in the ground last week and they are now ready, lol.

dr green dre said:

Cool DST.. There no longer hangin with lights on ,checked up and it aint good .Its only cause i seen some one on riu doing it thought it might help the drying time, should rush it really after i waited so long fot it to grow!!heres the 20ltrs looking almost ready!!

Dst when you say 2 phenos , do you mean the same strain but two seeds grew different?

Plants, like people, have different characteristics (phenotypes). They are short, tall, fat, slim, compact, rangy, etc., all in one strain. Some are desirable and some are not, example: a stretchy plant with small buds and a long flowering time that takes up a lot of room for very little product is the last thing I want in my garden. It's important for plant selection such as choosing mother plants or breeding.

You have some beautiful buds!!!

Exactly as cof puts it. There is phenotype, genotypes, all sorts of types. If you want to get into making your own seeds there is a lot of reading.

sick dude, im pumped for this strain!

Sharksbreath I have heard of befor ebut never sampled. It's been used for crosses as well I think...

Have you tried taping it up? Perhaps worth a try...does look a bit mullered though lad.

Not quite....I was actually thinking of building my new light tower and having it attached to a trolley on the bottom. I was thinking that it would be handy to be able to actually just move the whole light out of the cab...I have seen a few bases in the DIY store but it's still a plan that is floating around in the grey cells.

Looks like it would work. Question though, what benefit would you get from this since the lights are only moving up and down....sorry, feeling a bit dof this morning.

Peace,

Eh, you might be able to salvage that. Get a drinking straw, cut a little 1"-2" section. Take the scissors and cut vertically the entire length of the straw.
You can now open it up and CAREFULLY wrap it around the damaged stem and let it close back to it's natural cylinder shape. You might have to dig the straw into the rockwool a little bit for support.

Picked up a one year old 600w Lumatek digital ballast for $100 shipped. Anyone know what page a good discussion about bulb selection took place at? Has there been a good discussion about bulbs? I'm looking at the Sylvania Grolux HPS Dual Spectrum bulbs atm.

I'm so close to being part of the club!

there's bulb discussions throughout....sorry can't point you to a specific page. But welcome to the 600, talon anyways!!!!! Personally I go for a philips sont which has the dual spectrum so anything along those lines has got to be reasonable. I don't think we have gone into the East vs West quality of bulbs yet...but by all means give opinions.I am sure some folks will be on soon to give you their dibs on what bulbs they think rock!!

peace, DST

Talon, if you are in the states, try high tech garden supply. Their brand of lamps, growbright, 95,000 lumens with added blue spectrum for their hps lamps at about sixty bucks if I remember correctly. I've been using them for about a year now with very good results and they are considerably cheaper than other brands.

So the girls got their first dose of gravity last night. I gave them 2ml. and will do so for the next two days. Three waterings with gravity on consecutive days and then back to flower nutes for about another week and then water with molasses for the last week or so. Dr. Dre, as for drying, I generally allow five or six days for drying. Even more important is your curing. Curing allows some of the thc that is not psychoactive, to become psychoactive. It also brings out the aroma and flavor of your bud, drying is just to allow most of the moisture to leave your bud, curing is what brings out the rest in your girls.

If I'm home before seven tonight, I'll get those pics up before the lights come one. The og18 x skunk is back to yellowing away again and I expect the sleestack to catch up in about another week. The LA confidential which I did not flush looks better, she is much greener than the other two and the two lemon skunks look great, just starting to yellow here and there but otherwise still nice and green. I'm expecting a nice haul from the lemons. I'll be happy with an ounce and a half or two from each plant, enough to get me through until the next grow's harvest.

Have a good day my friends, it's off to the daily grind.

The LA is a real dark almost racing green colour. Great smoke if you got the corect genetics. I heard that DNA lost the LA mom that they had brought to the Dam....not sure if it's true though. It just seemd like about 2 years ago the quality of the LA started going down hill. Will be interested to hear your slant on it HU.

Have a good day at the grind...my day is a real bloody grinder today.

Laters,

Hello everyone, pretty nice day outside today, its the 1st day of week 2 12/12 for me, I will try to get some pictures up later to show my progress. Feeding with fox farm big bloom right now, next feeding will be stronger with that, then after that it will be a flush if needed, then big bloom and tiger bloom together, until the last 2 weeks then its just water. Im looking at Breeders Choice Anesthesia and Sannies Herijuana IBL for my next grow, that is if the Herijuana is back in stock, if its not then probably the extrema. I was also looking at the madonna, but I dont want to go over board, plus I will have the freebies to work with, I want the killing kush and el monstre. The others sound so good, but most of the freebies sound more sativa.
