Does that stuff actually work McPurple? I was going to suggest that myself but I have no experience with it. If it works I might just pick some up myself since the Headband I have going are known to throw off some sacks. I think its a cool product for sure, not a breeders favorite thing but for those using fems and not going for any seeds that shit is awesome...If it works that is.

i have used it and yes it works.
my plants were about 2 weeks into flower when they all went hermie for some reason, i read the bottle and it says to not spray on plants past 3 weeks of flower and to spray the plants once in veg and then 10 days later spray again.

after i sprayed the nanners stopped popping up on my plant except 2 cuz they were very bad herms, but the other theri was no more nanners to be seen or no seeds were produced.
i think it works great but i really dont like the price and having to get the DM reverse and then the DM penetrator that goes with it.

when i start to grow again i will always spray my girls with it unless i am breeding just to ensure the girls dont grow balls and make children

With all the talk about spider mites (which I'm fighting also...) I figured I'll drop by and show this mornings Power Skunk harvest


Thanks again mcpurple for helping me out through out most of my grow

I'm expecting about 10 grams dry at the most, she was a test run to see if I would keep her or not, the second one is about a week into flower now and was vegged for 10 weeks and in a 3 gallon smart pot. This last one was vegged about 4 weeks, topped once and flowered in a 1.5 gallon pot

I LOVE power skunk. I will always regret the one seed I had I didn't clone. That is nice smoke.

I'm looking forward to it in a few weeks when it's dried and cured. She clones a lot easier than my Sharksbreath so I'm probably going to drop the SB and keep this one around for a bit, plus she flowers a week faster too

looks like it could have gone a bit longer to further redden up those top hairs. sure does look like it will be a fine smoke! i dont think ive ever had a true skunk or skunk cross smoke before.

Yes you're right, I did note in my grow journal that I chopped it a bit early. I'm still dealing with spider mites and I wanted to make some room between the plants to try and stop them from spreading from infected plants to the one's that still haven't been affected. I even removed a ventilation fan to keep them from getting airborne and landing on my healthy plants. I have 2 plants left that are severely damaged which should be done soon also. The main reason I needed this plant down early was to get my next cycle ready and to get some space between infected plants and non infected plants...

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to growing this strain again, Attitude says it's between 45 - 55 days flowering and I chopped it on day 54, I'm planning to let the next one go at least another 5 or 6 days

yea im guna finish i have pulled the hermie and im going to chop it. any way to tell if the buds at pollinated with out ripping them apart.

Durban if you found open sacs Id pluck them all off and kill your fans for a few days. Hopefully youve cought them before opening in which case you can just pull all the balls off and keep your fans going. You will also want to keep a close eye on them going into flower up till week 4. Ive found dozens of nanners up till then but none after week 4.

Now if you do think some pollen got out what you will notice is the pistils will quickly turn orange and receed into the calyx and i mean quickly. In a day or 2 you will see a drastic change in appearance and in about a week you will be able to actually see seeds poking out of the pollinated calyx. As long as your fans didnt blow a shit load of pollen around you should be ok. You may have a few seeds in the end but you will still have bud. Hope that helps 1BMM

sounds like a good strain! i always thought attitude was a seed distributer not a seed breeder. i dont know how well you will be able to completly get rid of the mites with out cleaning out your grow room entirely but i wish you the best. i let mine get out control before and they started making mite chains from the leaves haha! only got rid of them by stopping growing. hope you have better luck!

Man this forum was down for a few hrs, glad we are back online!

My plants are growing too fast! Ones 19" tall others are 14-15" tall. I have them In 3L pots. Should I re-pot them? I plan of putting them outside in April, that would mean a 3d re-pot. I reallly want this grow to go well after my last fiasco with mites!

Well bassman, I always say "more roots = more fruits" I almost proved it last grow but the mites destroyed the plant in the bigger container. I'll have to try again

we might have to start calling this the mite club, jesus every one has them except for mc purp... let us know when ur back up n runnin buddy!

i haven't had to deal with the mights just this hermie. vie got it pulled out and im going to chop it.

mite I add, (yawn) that those pest strips certainly seem to kill everything.....I took down some of the cheese yesterday and when I removed a pot from the cab a spider climbed out of the soil and escaped...it was fairly fast moving but looked like quite a weird spider so it got it (sorry spider if you were a good guy spider, dems the breaks.) So I reckon in combo with something for the soil (like the DE) that erradication is on the cards....for the time being anyway, lol. Chopped my Casey Jones this morning and finished of the cheese scrog..

Big day today and getting an early start. Chopping down ten White Russians, cleaning their res and tray, potting up 25 chronic clones (they've been in a aerocloner for a month, they have roots like ZZ top has beards) and putting 15 of those straight into flower. They are huge clones, just the size I like. Then I have to kill and dismember all my chronic mothers which are all 5 feet tall and pushing up into the light. I wish I could flower them, but it would use up all my light resources and break my perpetual cycle. I need to keep my mothers smaller. and get down to 2 per strain.

I'll post the pr0n later today when the dust settles a bit.

Edit: I am mite free for now, probably til July. I've tried no-pest strips, but I think they must only work on mites in enclosed spaces, tents, small rooms, etc. The lethal ingredient maybe doesn't build up to sufficient concentrations in an open space?

Cheers, 600'ers!

i had to pull a hermie last week also. i am running a 12/12 grow in the same room as my flowering plants. using a 2bulb 4 foot fat tube flouro for them and my 600w as sidelighting.
see the yellow glare on the brick? thats my hps


this is my real grow. i like to run 12/12 to get a grasp on the strains veg time and flower time so i can optimize the feeding schedule. with an unknown strain its hard to do. i plan to take clones and put them under a 18/6 light cycle and spray colloidal silver on the 12/12 mother from the pictures. just dont know which one im going to pick. no flowers yet except for that hermie. wish i woulda took a picture of it. it was gross looking. oh anyways. once i collect that pollen im going to impregnate one of the clones.
sounds cool huh? the colloidal silver is already on its way via amazon. i bought the 500ppm concentration so i can dilute to whatevever. i got a tds meter.
wish me luck. ill keep the 600 posted.
oh, S is for sensi seeds skunk mix.
KK is the freebie reserva privada kandy kush
N is nirvanas indoor mix. could be anything!

It seems the strips most be kept in a closed environment to be effective.

anyone have any suggestions on a 600 bulb for me ... I can't afford a hortilux right now.. But i was looking into either a Sunmaster, or if it doesn't make a difference ... getting a less expensive model like a plantmax or growbright. I've been doing my research but it seems like the Sunmaster is a bit in my price range right now.
Anyone notice a huge difference in bulbs???

I changed from a hortilux to a sunmaster and the plants seem happier.
