Alllright man, I'll push it real good salt 'n peppa styleee :lol:

Wow, damn you take some wicked pics bro, they always look so nice hey :D

Your girl is looking magnificent Flowa, i reckon you still have till April before she finishes hey, I'm not seeing any dying pistils yet! Even my little outdoor girl still has maybe 2 weeks hey :)
LOL :) Legend!

Thanx for the photo compliments man, i try my best, always loved photography.
There is some pistils starting to die off now, I just didn't really get in there deep, the middle section of the plant is quite mature, already some nice colour with leaves dying off, the outside colas seem to be pushing longer maybe due to the shading i'm giving her, which allows the light to catch the tips and give them an hour or so longer, so anything low on the plant is nearly done in my books, a bit more swelling to do yet, but i won't go crazy long on her, i actually found what looks to be the start of a seed flower on the tip of 1 bud. Checked thoroughly over the plant and found no pollen sacks but will watch carefully now. Cause That gives me the feeling things are nearly done.

Jack is ALWAYS a fast finisher indoors so i'm guessing she will thicken dramatically in the next week. Only the calyxs have to swell now, they have grown but need to ripen. I won't harvest the entire plant, i will leave some to go loooooong and ripe ;) I just can't stand the stress of how much she stinks. I can smell her around the block now easily! :o and while raining today buds were mere inches from the ground.

maybe 2 weeks........ but geeeeeez the smell!!!! Someone else will want a taste soon!

No worries bro :D i might have to hit you up for some tips on getting better photos hey lol

Ah sweet man, i guess you know your plant and strain better than anyone else hey! She is definitely one fine specimen :) another 2 weeks and she'll be thick as!! I can imagine you'd be getting stressed about the smell too, skunk strains are always a bit hard to keep from smelling and unfortunately there is now odor control outside. Maybe thats something someone could try and make, an organice odour control spray ;)

Here we are!!! Day 34, Put my dual spec son-t agro lamp in, no more 2nd HPS as to keep temps and stress down while the dual spec lamp kranks the trichs out!!! You may be able to see the colour change just from my pics alone. I also have 3 babies that are already rooted growing slowly and really healthy, the 1 in the middle was a clone off a broken clone after i dropped the orange pot and nearly lost 6 of them. The bigger 2 are in the running for the throne :)

Day 34 Flowering. Oh my aren't we getting big already!!! super heavy medium dense colas. Man oh man i think i've done it again. Enjoy erb lovers!!!



Hey flowa, as per fucking usual, im loving the updates and the Amsterdam is looking sexy :-P

Just got a couple of questions i was hoping you could answer...

- I've got 2 seedlings that are about a 8 days old. How long would you recommend keeping them in a small planter (like yours above) before moving them to the hempy bucket to vegg?

- I'm gonna experiment this round with a setup like yours... Would you recommend 2x 30l buckets running of a single 80L res?

Any advice would be much appreciated.... cheers

Hey Flowa, I'm looking to try and make some bubble hash out of my kief this time and im wondering what size bags you use? I can get a 5 pack of different sizes but unsure if i have to use them all or just one size...i know you've explained it in this thread but i cant find the post..

Hey echelon, Thanx for the compliments!

first off i'd keep little clones growing no longer than 8-10 weeks providing you regularly check the roots making sure there is no rot, and this can only be maintained with regular and consistent waterings. I try not to let the roots go through the separator dish inside the pot so the roots don't sit in any stagnant water. I water every day and grow them slowly providing only the minimal amount of food about every 3rd or weekly feed. As i use perlite this will and does dry out fast, so i add some extra hydroton to the mix and this keeps it wet for atleast 1 day in hot weather. I also submerge 80% of the rockwool cube to keep it nice and wet. At this point tracer root are fine to play with and are more resistant to fungus and you grow more tracer roots with more water. Less water = the fluffy root hairs you may know of which is the condition coming from optimum medium conditioning. Tracer roots are like the tap root coming from a seedling, they are waiting to be placed in their medium and will grow slowly and surely, but ONLY under the right circumstances.
I say 8-10 weeks as i'm only using a 13 watt fluro with those 2 clones you seen in the previous pic u showed of mine i grew them with 2 gro-lux tubes a 3000k and 5000k both suited for a good balance. of energy for growth. They won't grow your plant entirely. they are JUST enough for 2 small plants for that time in my opinion. I kept the tubes close as possible to maintain shallow bushy growth while implementing LST and a single top snip at about week 5.

2 pots with 1 res doesn't make enough sense to me, I would use 2 res's while having the 2 joined by another hose so they stay at an even level, but a feed pump in each res traveling to a different plant. If you have 1 res, my theory tells me and from many visual experiences from mates i have seen 2 plants with 1 res always seems to have 1 plant much stronger, unless the root system is in the same res, 1 is going to feed differently. When calculating nutrients this is always based on 1 plant, unless you are using a tub for aeorponics, or the roots from ALL plants are in the same container.
Not saying you can't but seen the results too many times to think coincidence. ;)
:)
My thoughts exactly ! LoL but sooo worth it later :joint:
yes, yes.... i'm not looking forward to that part, but its soon! i'm stinking out my block to the max. + I'm sick of sleeping in the backyard lol The tents fine, but my king size mattress is hard to beat. ;)

I bought a 4 bag kit, and make killa hash :) I got the 20, 73, 120 and the 220 for the first wash bag, and the 73 micron gives A grade full melt with the taste that only a grower could love.... and gets to ;) You won't find a better way to make hash, its a superior way beats dry ice by a mile.

Amsterdam gold!! day 20 flowering.

She is very beautiful FlowaMasta! What does she smell like?

How is the outdoor girl doing?
Thankyou Mo! the indoor smells of sweet candy lollies!?? very strange! I don't really smell her until i walk away from the tent, as i hit the fresh air of the house in the hallway the smell fills my head and lungs. VERY different from that which my mate has been growing! I can't wait to call him soon and ask him to come over. He NEEDS to see this. Even my Vigor is annihilating his in comparison. Least of all i'm REALLY impressed with her structure, she takes up very little room and still maintains a spread out uniform growth. Makes me wish i had that extra week veg! I'll be smoking this like a trooper :p I can't wait for either the outdoor or the indoor! Great to have something different from both worlds.

Does the indoor look sativa to you at all Mo? Or do you think the indica cross is more dominant? would love to get the sattie buzz from her :) frosting up already is a great sign to me.

The outdoor is going spectacular!! I cant go outside right now but will get some nice pics tonight. She will be ready in a week or so!!
cheers Mo great to see you here again :)

Holy shit Flowa they are massive buds already! You're going to have some massive buds on her :D

LOL :) they do look massive i suppose. A big shock to both my lady and I... fast transition, fast bud growth.... all is looking promising, but keeping in mind this strain did go dodgy at my mates house turning to seed in flower. I'm being careful with nutes, but feeding heavy up front and then diluting with ice each day. I haven't been topping up with nutes at all this run in flower.

The 5 bag kit will be 1 better :) and you can filter out more contaminants or maybe get another grade of hash, all in all, Fresh frozen trim makes the best flavoured melt hash closest to the shellite extraction in taste and potency. mix for a short time to get the purest ofcourse, and the more frosty the better! The idea is to knock the round glandular type trichome heads off, after looking under scope you can see the stalk can easily remain on the bud and only knocking off the head with only a minor effort in stirring. Go too hard and you risk making it green and leaching out unwanted stuff. I always do a quality run first then i stir the crap out of it to get the most out of it all. the last batch will always be lesser in grade you will notice with the colour changes. Blonde/white froth = best :) Check out Matt Rize youtube vids, or subcools, i used a bit of both guys methods. It doesn't take long to make it an art :)

Thanks man, going pretty well so far! I'm LOVING these cyco nutes hey, pure gold! I'll post up a pic of the sugar haze tomorrow too, she's finally starting to thicken right up :) i also managed to get some pollen sacks on the sugar haze clone i was spraying with CS too so keen to seed up a branch on my NLxBB baby and see how it goes!

Sounds like your outdoor girl is just a beast man, i can only imagine how stinky she is too lol. Another 1-2 weeks and she'll be humungous :D

Wow man she's incredible hey, beautiful looking strain :D

Man seed companies should be paying you to grow and show off their strains, they always look so damn perfect lol

Thanx Easty :) I only really noticed last night ey, she reminds me of banana peels, not just the weird leaf curl ( not heat induced i assure you with fan cooled hood and 28 degree tent ) the smell is really weird. NEVER have i come across such a scent. It looks nothing like when my mate grows it, i'm really shocked at her stretch session during flowering! The 2 main colas are atleast 20 inches long easily over an ounce worth on each :o yeah man i'm lost!! this seems very out of the ordinary. Already blitzed passed the outdoor in terms of resin output, but a different all together plant. I got told ' Good LUCK! ' well cheerz to the dude that gave it to me!
I'm also really impressed with the quality nutrient from Dutch Masters Gold Range, I gave it a go just for veg, and had one of my healthiest and best turn rounds, especially for a limited 21 days veg time. The Base from Dutchies was not as strong as Cyco's, but gave equally fast/lush growth, remembering that what you put into your plant during veg, helps feed her during flowering :)

Even though i have no comparison for Amsterdam Gold for cyco vs Dutch masters, something tells me they are both great, perhaps Dutchies stuff is more gentle on the plant using a less aggressive ppm level.

Lol on the seed company idea :) funny man!, they do usually look nice i must agree, its all the camera really, maybe i have a keen eye sometimes for angles and colours, but the camera does whatever you want, easily the smartest piece of technology i've managed to learn how to use! Awesome camera the samsung WB150F, in perfect lighting macro it will focus 2 cm away from the lense in 4320 x 3240 pixels per inch! But thanx man! I dare say it has a mile to do with genetics, added bonus having an awesome mentor :)

Man am i stoned. Whats with this crazy weather!? Hot cold hot cold..... as long as it doesn't rain i'll stay in a good mood! These huge heads do not want to get wet. Some have got to be 150 grams wet!! I might not be stretching that guess

Damn bro, she sounds like a real gem, awesome score on your part hey :) she is just so healthy and those colas are as thick as anything :D an ounce a cola is amazing lol, ive only ever seen it on outdoor plants so im hanging to see how much you get out of them if they are that big already ;)

I've also been told by other that the dutch master gold nute line is good too, my mate at the hydro shop has always said it works well and he uses it himself. Its also a lot damn cheaper than the cyco range haha. Are you using the same line for flowering as well?

I must look into one of the samsung cameras like yours too, im using a dlsr but just cant seem to get a close up macro shot to work. I'll have to do some more reading i reckon as im sure one of the two lenses i have should be able to do the job, jesus its a $1500 camera for gods sake lol!

this weather has got me buggered man, i guess its just telling us that autumn is on its way :) i dont mind the cooler temps as it helps keep my tent that little bit cooler :)
