Looking really good. I feel you on waiting for upgrades to get to you. I have had my lighting and venting system ready to go but had to return a tent and am waiting for the new one to arrive. It is killing me, I just want to put it all together.

That blows. To top it off, i call the hydro store today fully expecting my ballast to have arrived, and the guy tells me he forgot it was MLK day yesterday and couldn't order the equipment because banks were closed. So the bud porn for this evening will showcase the CFL lights again. Should be under the HPS next time images are uploaded

First appearance of CH9 Feminized P.O.W 33. First round of seeds i've started from Attitude seeds. She's really young, at only 10 days from being first placed in the paper towel. Her life span is as follows:
1-12-13 - Placed in paper towel.
1-13-13 - Sprout spotted, placed sprout pointed down in RW cube. slightly soaking RW cube once the sprout was inserted.
1-14-13 - First set of round leaves are protruding from RW cube, placed the RW cube into soil watered slightly.
1-15-13 - Round leaves appeared above soil.
1-17-13 - First slight watering
1-22-13 - First flush.

I must say, things seem to be moving along quickly with this one.

As you can see, my ventilation is doing well. After thinking about it, this couldn't be a 24hour range. Pic was taken right after lights came on this evening. Temps during the plants' day cycle stay around 73.

Now for teh bud porn

Wow man, your doing awesome. I do say though, i had to open them up side by side to look, but our plants look similar to me.

Does it have a crazy branching structure? Or did you prune it much after the initial topping you done? I read first couple pages to see how you started then skipped to the back to check the flowering.

f3tz3r · Jan 26, 2013

Well, update today, got the 1kw HPS installed. And as expected, temps are a little above my acceptance range, but shouldn't be beyond the plants tolerance. Running the HPS all night gave me a peak temp of 82 in the grow room.

Images below are in order from the past few days. Does anyone know why HPS lights causes this problem on my camera phone? All the other pictures were taken with the same phone.

When we first hang the light, I kinda guestimated 18-22 inches below the light for the top of the tallest bud. After hanging the top of the tallest bud is 18 in from the bottom of the light, it looks farther but it isn't.

And let me tell you, i didn't believe the HPS would have that much more effect, but in working around it turned on for ~30 minutes, that damn thing gave me a headache, that is still lingering. But I can tell its doing the plants awesome, they are visibly thicker after one night of HPS light.

It's something about the slow shutter speed of the lens, its very common with hps pics. Nice plants you will notice a huge improvement with the new 1000w

f3tz3r · Jan 26, 2013

Yea, i guess i need to pull out my better camera to get some nice shots. It seems like i'm sensitive to the HPS, being in there more than 1 min starts giving me a headache, anyone else experience this?

f3tz3r · Jan 30, 2013

Wow, words or pictures just cant describe how things are going.

Here are some of the buds that i've been able to cut off of the very bottom and get a fresh taste of it. It actually smells like lemons!!!!! And the buzz..... Starts with a very strong head change, then creeps up to a full body numbing effect after about 30 minutes.

And this is with putting these in the pipes as soon as they're picked (there is no bad taste). Its nothing like i've ever ever smoked. I cannot believe that i still have maybe 2 weeks left. I've got to get a scope and check these trichomes, if they're not completely foggy, this buzz is going to be unbelievable.

Here are some from the past few days.

And now the pics from today, the few that are decent were snapped as soon as the light flipped on, you can tell where it actually warmed up. Better pics to come soon.

It may be hard to see, be we have 5 more clones moved into the flower room today. They are exactly 36 days from being cut from one of the plants already flowering.

f3tz3r · Jan 31, 2013

Pulled them out for watering today, so we get some decent pictures without bars across them...

I know the pics are blurry, but can anyone tell how cloudy my trichs are if they are. Not experienced at looking at them and telling what they're supposed to look like. I know i still have time left, just curious as to what the % of potency its at now vs. what it will be at harvest time.

Starting to see some slight yellowing on a few of the lower leaves, and half of one of them dead. Its pictured below. I'm not quite sure what it is, was maybe thinking it was just leaves that didn't get much light and were dying out, Just wanting to be sure.

Heres the big girl. Shes drinking as much nutes as i give her. She getting 10ml / gallon of Dyna-Grow bloom. As far as i see, shes not showing any signs to stop upping the dosage.

A few pics of the smaller plant. Shes drinking 3.75 ml /gallon Dyna-Grow Bloom

They look kinda clear to me. Investing in a microscope is a good choice. I harvest them when they are at 50/50 50% amber 50% cloudy. Kinda get the best of both worlds. You'll know when the time comes. Your hairs will start to turn amber and kinda twist inward. Not sure on the potency question. This thread may help you on that. Its a quick nice read.

You are correct on that sir.

With the new camera, we get a real top down shot of my babies

Take a look at my POW33, its 19 days from popping out of the soil. Its fixing to get transplanted into a 3gal smart pot (i know it needs watering), but before i did it, i noticed a little yellowing on the bottom set of leaves. This looks kinda like N def to me, but wanted to make sure so i could treat it before transplanting it. All plants are in 100% FFOF with no additives.

In these pics, you can follow the buds down the stem

f3tz3r · Feb 4, 2013

Pic update tonight. Realized i could get my camera shit tons closer to the buds, I can actually tell they're getting cloudy now.

f3tz3r · Feb 7, 2013

Pulled them out for some watering, so we get some pics out of the hps light.

Here are some pics of the clones that are in the flower room. Cant find my laptop cable that tells me when they started 12/12. I think its been about 2 weeks.

f3tz3r · Feb 8, 2013

Here we have 2 plants late flower, and 5 plants that are on day 12 flowering.

And some bud porn from the flowering ladys. Got a new lens on the camera, Not sure what it does different. 37mm Professional HD 0.45x Wide Angle Lens for DC/DV Japan Optics. Then it also has the words "MACRO" written in red on the lens

f3tz3r · Feb 8, 2013

Just went and looked at the sticky for nute Def, and i believe that the bigger one in late flower has a N def. You should be able to tell the discoloration in the top-down of the latest entry.

Would love to get someones comments on this, or will go take more pictures if someone can chime in.
