I took some pics before the lights came on. They look a little better this was. The Purple Afghani has gotten a little burnt in the last week. I'm going to give them a light flush today since they need water anyway. I have had one hell of a time with this strain. It does not seem to like to strong of a nute mix. Of course I'm not complaining since it seems to take very little to keep these happy. But in my grows with this I have always burnt them to some point and was just not sure of the signs. With the nutes on the low side and showing problems I thought it would have to be a deficiency or since I was having ph problems and root rot in the hydro that it might be a lock out. They were great until I gave them some Big Bud from AN and probably gave them about 1/2 recommended strength for hydro but putting it in soil. From what I've seen the ppm of your mix is higher in soil than dirt since it is not around the root all the time like in the water. The roots have to go looking for it. And also I've been using organic base nutes so I'm a little safer there. It's been a good strain for me and has paid for all my new lighting and stuff but I don't really have room for 3 strains. I have the Purple Afghani, Super Lemon Skunk X Haze and California Orange Skunk. But the Afghani is the only one that I have flowered yet so I don't know how the other 2 will be. I'm sure they will be good, especially the Skunk Haze cross. I'm really looking forward to that one the most. It will be very hard to get rid of the Afghani since it was the first one I started to do a lot of reproducing with and has sentimental value. I guess I will have to always keep one of those going at least as a small mother. OK, now in the pic that you see the pots. There are 3 rows of 5 in there. In the pick it looks like 5 rows deep but it is not, it's 3. The Orange Skunk plants are the 1 row on the right side up on the buckets. Gotta love the mylar for giving it that look though.

I did not get any close ups of the Orange Skunk When I took those last pics so here they are. As for this strain they show no sign of burn at all and look great and have been getting exactly the same treatment as the Afghani. That made me feel better that is was not just me fucking up and that the other strain just takes much less nutes that normal. In hydro the Afghani would burn over 750-800 ppm. Have not done the orange skunk in hydro yet though. All the plants are about 4 weeks into flower.

that looks good hash.. im opening a business up as soon as this is legal and ill be hireing people that i know to help out..maybe ill get a chain going so i can have a couple across the states... i put my thermometer on top my bags (eye level with the tops of plants) and it read 104 degrees F and 22% humidity.. it doesnt feel that hot when i put my hand there so i guess either my meter is broke or i suck at gaging the weather.. either way, I did move the light up some more so ill check the temp in the morn till i get a good 80 (which is room temp here)... my plants look good and have side shoots now.. there still extremely small but getting really bushy and has tons of side shoots everyplace so i think its goin to be a good grow :D .. when should i put the HPS bulb in? someone told me to do it now and another said a few weeks into flowering.. I would like to do it right when they show sex so that they can stay tiny and then grow like a SOB (once i put the hps in) as soon as they show signs of sex.

it wouldnt hurt anything to get an early start on them ... you could even keep them around as mother plants and clone them.

So you have the same idea as me. I'd like to be using the 4 acres that my house is on to be growing. It's all set too, It's used to grow stuff now. Last year was flowers and this year tomato's. It wouldn't be any problem getting help. My stepdaughter said she would want to sleep in the field. That's what I was saying about having a thermometer, now you know for sure just like having a ppm meter. As far as the bulb, I put the MH in until I saw the first real flowers. I wanted to try to cut down on that stretching that I was getting in that first initial growth spurt in flower. The MH seemed to do a good job and my branches are thicker also. Overall a better looking plant I think.

the lowriders totally look better then they did before... on my earlier grow i was trying to get the plant to grow really fast but it ended up growing really big... they looked a little dry so i watered them with some rain water + a tad grow big... it was 550 ppm total.. and around 5.6 ph... i think my ph meter is off a bit... i checked the runoff water from the plant and it was 5.4ph and 9000 ppm or some astronomically large amount.. so i double checked my rain water and its ppm is truely 550.... big difference

tell your step daughter to move over cause im lieing in the field to lol

in all seriousness... when this is legalized im seriously going into the business... ive already have it all planed out.. im in school now burning away time and livin off the gov grants.. ill be outta college soon and then im saving up some money to invest in some land or business... once its legalized im closing shop and opening a new one :D

Probably just jealous. If she was trouble once???? Just be careful, and block the light showing and put a lock on the door. I won't say anymore about it. I do have a pretty stealthy set up for what I have growing but still makes me nervous. There are a few people that know what I have going but are my most trustworthy friends and family. And a couple people I wish didn't, not that I don't trust them but the less the better. I try to keep it that way but shit happens, like your friend. Ya, I'm on that site. That was where I spent most of my time once I got a computer and found all this wonderful information. Never posted much there, just lots and lots of reading. You should check out the thread on grafting weed with hops to create a hops plant that contains THC. My user name there is "misslilly", that was the name of a dog I had at the time and is the one in my avy. I'll try to post my public profile. Lots of really good info there. Not there isn't here but that was where I started. Spent a lot of time on the FAQ section.http://boards.cannabis.com/members/misslilly.html

I'll check out the hash video. I do it kinda like that, just made my own stuff to do it. You have to have only the best trim to make good stuff, I've only used buds. The weed was not to good but made good hash. So much better than the weed I made it all into hash and did some alcohol extraction that was good also. I smoked pretty much just hash for a year and a half until my first harvest here,

Damn what a bitch, having to many seeds huh? It's a good place to be though right? Do like green said and start a couple possible mothers. If you keep topping them and use CFL's you can keep them short and have nice bushes. Sounds like you have a nice mix there for sure though. Good luck with them.

She's a tuff little shit, you might have to fight her for it. But just pass her a joint and she'll be cool. Your ph should be up around the mid 6's or so in soil. I'm surprised it's that low with the foxfarm dirt. Must be from the grow big. 9000 ppm??? What the hell. I checked my runoff yesterday too, I did use about double the water I usually do so I think in diluted it some. The ph was about 6.3 with a ppm of about 550. But I have been giving them nutes, mostly organic though so the ppm is lover anyway than if I were using more chemical stuff. I have thought seriously too about what to do if it becomes legal in my life time and I'm not to old to do something about it. Since I've been doing home remodeling for over 20 years I would go into building grow rooms for people. With the construction knowledge and the experience I'll have growing by them it should be an easy transition. Now that would be a fun fucking job huh? I could even give my wife a job doing the books, maybe. Some thing are best kept to yourself right? Time to go watch football, GO VIKINGS!!!!! (I hope)

I've though of using one of those too. Could make a nice little grow box. Let's see pics.

i checkd the plants and it apears they have nute burn... the very very tip of some leaves looks like someone held a lighter underneath the tip and burnt it to a brown color.... also there are spots forming starting on the tips and working a quarter way up some of the leaves... one leaf has brittle towards the tip and it looks extremely shiny in spots... looks rather similiar to when i burnt my last ones with nutes... the problem is that this was happening before i watered tonight... i let them get a little to dry and possibly damaged them...but they are soaking wet now and still looking good despite the nute burn or whatever... hmmm could it be the pH?

here is the fridge... i dont know if it would be practicle to even use this fridge since my other plants arent concealed... gotta start from someplace i guess
