That is just awesome! Congratz on the crazyness! 67 Days is just unbelievable! Damn it looks good..
:) Thanx Gp :) i am also just as shocked!! i assure you!! thanx for your input.

Dam! Congratz Flo. I am not sure what the words I am looking for ... You have set the BAR to shoot for. So which strain is next after every thing is dry and inspection is done?
I have another baby Amster growing sideways in one of my small orange baby tubs :) she will be a scrog legend hopefully, i'm trying something a little out of the game..... I am very pleased with this grow, outstanding recovery from an UNHEALTHY, INSECT RIDDLED half dead clone THAT i dropped on the ground before planting!!!! Yeah.... i know. WHAT!?
Man, I want to live in your tent...... :leaf:bongsmilie lol. Seriously though, looks great!
Thankyou :) lol nice input!

Great to hear man, nothing worse than not sleeping due to stressing about growing medicine hey!! Rest up my man :D

Sweet well you know I'll be subbed up mate, always love watching what you do. Sounds like your next grow is going to be a monster too :D

Mine has a fair bit more yellowing going on too, pretty sure its to do with the swinging pH. Otherwise it's got me buggered. But on the other hand....ITS SWELL TIME :D been hanging for this day to come!!
I hear you :) don't forget to flush well, and not to add potash with swell, and swell is strong stuff, so measure tight and shake well. :) i'll get a pic of the baby soon enough

Bravo flowa :clap::clap::clap::clap: 67 days!!!! So amazing man! Keep on doing ur thing man. Can't wait to hear weight!!! I'm already excited for your next grow!!!
I know! :) I'm super stunned to say the least. Mr mrs seen the plant very little and along came the end and she exploded into this gigantic storm of colas. Not expected, i had strong hope for her, and tried hard to keep things clean and consistent, like adding my 4 litres of ICE every day ;) i bet a few may start doing that now, i think the ice helps! i goto some effort to remember each day lol :)


Hey FlowaMasta - do you use any CO2?
Nothing more than comes in from the other bedroom windows :) I trap the used stale air that comes out of the first carbon filter by using boxes and around 2 metres of outlet tubing ( i blow through the carbon filter, not suck ) and out of the room to be further scrubbed again as it goes into a discreet roof inlet and into another smaller carbon filter. Fresh air is pulled from either direction of the bedroom, or in winter i will have the window open to the actual grow-room which sucks in mass amount of fresh cold air. Running even a close to sealed system is very difficult in a tent, even the zippers leak a little, really more often than not a GOOD setup for inlet and outlet USED PROPERLY will be very efficient. I've never had a problem with fresh air :) I JUST chopped a part of a large indoor cola open to check her inside........ DEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS RESINOUS SEXINESS. I ALMOST JIZZED IN MY PANTZ :p and these colas are more round than a 2 litre coke bottle.!!! I was hesitant to do the minor operation on the whoppa of a cola, but now i feel like a proud brain surgeon :) A VERY STONED ONE.


Looks great as per usual. Do you ever run into issues? :roll:

I am 3 weeks into flower on mine. ;-)
PICS PLEASE ;) so far so good Slanty :) no issues yet, but i'm always in preparation incase!!

:-PHeya Mate!!!:cool:
Awshum as aways masta.:weed:
those are really huge colas you got there. :shock:
Congratulations on another spectaculare harvest. :clap:
Them buds have a cool twister like appearance and sexy goldy locks appearance.
Can you please bring some to the 4-20 Cypress Hill concert next week? What bettter then to celebrate 4-20? great weed and great music !!!! at first i thougth the scrog string was helping to keep the weight of the buds up but
maybe the exhaust fan was so strong it was helping to keep the buds straight up ?.
take it easy flowa and thanks for the pretty pictures. see ya at the cup mate.:hug:
Thanx Dr!! I tried my VERY BEST :) it may just well be!! I'm checkin out these drying buds, and i am loooooo ooooo oving her resin!! so coated and super sticky!!!
I love that you notice the cool twister effect :) if you surf back to the beginning you may notice i spun the plant around to gain maximum light penetration for the 2 closest colas in line with one of the lamps!
Yes the string um, oven twine ;) ( flame proof ) it certainly was there to hold the buds up. I wish i had a video cam recording when i cut the first cola lol. Then the second!! I nearly pulled my hair out...... the weight pulled them ALL OVER! they were upside down in 2 seconds, luckily the stems were VERY thick and didn't snap, also she was getting a nice cold drink of spring water so she had the bounciness about her and luckily JUST hung in there while i hacked the branches back 1 by one at each of their base stems. 7 colas in total, a few smaller tops.
The exhaust is very strong indeed but mostly directed at sucking through the lighthood, where i have the glass slider open a couple of inches where the cool fresh air that comes from a higher point in the tent comes in and over the globe directly where its pulled through 2 fans, one 6 inch in the hood ( brushless ) and the extractor also being a 6 inch but a 2 way centrifugal bearing so it can be used both ways. She likes to Suck and Blow. oh thats baaaaaaad ;)



I just cant believe how quick she was, that girl would have a permanent place in my garden I mean almost 6 indoor harvests a year!!!.... Some serious possibilities there eh? Kind of a shame to scrog her with structure like that but I do look forward to seeing how she takes to the fence! Not that your looking to maximize yield right:) Well either way, job well done, curious though how did you go about flushing her? -S0uP
She was super quick! a little over 2 months!? i'm stoked! She will be a little stubborn to scrog with her sturdy thick stems! But i'll make it happen. I'm not worried about her structure entirely, more so the chance of stress from the extra topping, but i will have a few extra days to play with. I know i'd love to see 50 pointy hats that looked like them in my tent :p

I let the res run low in week 6 and proceeded to top up with fresh tap water, then starting week 7 was simply spring water with a rated ph of 8.0. for 4 days, changed daily. The 4th day she 'finished' in my opinon as some trichomes had started to change and she was taking on no more water, i feel her midrange fan leaves centre of the buds and if they feel at all crispy, thats the thumbs up i need :) The plant is degrading after this point in my experience, yes you can gain some more yield, and their is a fine line, but when potency drops off, it can drop off quick. I want my buds sparkling and gleaming with bright white crystals and still have that greasy, shiny appeal :) The largest cola has slightly more amber on her, and she's going to be toxic lol!!! the smell of her is insane. it hits your nose like chili pepper! My best looking erb to date visually!!

I'm still scared to smoke her lol!! I am somewhat prepared lol the JAck Skunk outdoor bush has mellowed both my mrs and I to the point of making munchies..... and then forgetting to eat it. When you find yourself so stoned on the toilet you fall asleep you're smoking the good stuff

Absolutely bro, been doing what you suggested with the flushing, fill it up and once it hits the top open the drain pipe but keep flushing for 20 mins :D

I made sure i was real careful with the nutes too, was pretty close to spot on!!

Sweet bro, well sounds like we're in for another treat with your next grow too, can't wait to see her :D till then, enjoy the fruits of your labour!!

Great to hear Easty! you'll do sweet as :)

I will get things adjusted and have a new thread soon as the inspection is over, the new plant might go in the new pots today ;)

Trim pics????
Haha! :) LOL sticky fingers, everything was an outright greasy mess!, i bagged the trim immediately and put it straight in the freezer actually! BUT i will be doing a final manicure ;) if that interests you Mo ;) ;) You weed fanatic. I will be doing a final trim today, the buds have taken shape, hasn't really shrank like i thought it would, and the colour is an incredible light green, almost a fluorescent colour, i think i ran a beautiful blend of nutes this run and JUST enough nitrogen to sustain her through to the end. Her life cycle was extremely fast even by my standards and her ripeness came extremely abruptly, if i was away for 2 more days it would of been too long for me. Her colour is such a light green it looks artificial. It looks like it would smell something like oranges being so vibrant green with vividly bright orange hairs. Her trichomes also glisten over the entire surface of every bud, so her final quality is going to look splendid. Pure Jar appeal! I haven't honestly grown anything that quite looks on par with this, the buds look furry with resin and sparkle so well. Its going to be hard to mull these with scissors JUST because i don't want to touch them only look at them :p

Hey flowa, u said u rough trimmed and now ur gonna final. How'd that work out? I did the same thing on mine this time and I noticed a lot of trichomes (more so than usuall) came off. Still smokes great and very potent plus now I have a lot of keef!!! This was the first time I didn't completely trim first. Oh yeah, I meant to tell u I'm only using 370w of led! :)

Flowa how often do you have inspection over there??? It seems like your dealing with that far more often than I would be willing to... I had Inspection 1 time in the past 5 years of growing and dude I thought I was gonna shit. I moved 40+ plants to a near by hotel room in the middle of the night and by the time I was done with that I was so pissed I didnt even take the 4x8 tents down I just hung clothes in them like they were a portable wardrobe out of laziness and spite. Worst 2 fucking days, almost forgot I had like 2-3 plants that I forgot about to the last second and put them across the street at this little park for like 6 hours over night....went back to get them a day later and they were gone! Made someone real happy I hope! Hid them well, I guess not well enough.... Funny stuff, I was paranoid for like 2 months cause it was RIGHT across the street dude!-S0uP

Hey man!
Yeah i just knocked the majority of the main leaf off, fans n shaders and some tips just to make it easier and dry a little more even. The stuff is still mildly fresh, i am curing the main colas now and i'm crapping my dax! lol These things are the sexiest buds i've ever grown, and i've tasted some smaller stuff already and it clean KO'd me bigtime. WAAAAAAAY unexpected, i was thinking a strong crazy mind buzz, but this stuff hits you like a heavy weight king hit before you can even put the bong down properly. The taste!.................... ouch. I got something right thats for sure. I haven't smoked stuff that you know is dripping in resin in years like this. It has that cooking effect in the bowl and smoothly burns down until the very last piece of ash, and each time left with an amazing stench!
I don't think you should lose too many trichomes if you're careful enough. They are ALOT more resilient than you might think :) I think the initial resting on the main branches for a couple of days does them wonders, and lets the resin lose a bit of its moisture so its more malleable and less likely to be nocked off by scissors or whatnot. If its too dry when you do a final trim, you will likely knock some off.

I've got some nice pics coming reeeeeeeal soon, i've been so bent, and lookin after myself that i end up not knowing what's going on!! i got very little kief or trim this round! :( i got less than a half oz of sugar trim from her :o the leaves are so tiny, I think she looks nice anyway. See what ya think ;)

Cheers again man! Actually one funny pic i have of the smaller stuff curing in a freezer bag, as i went to remove it from the bag it came out as 1 piece of fat nug LOL

Every 3 months Soup :) It does seem rather risky and poor managed, but i assure you its not....... ( just!! ) I add my days up and always allow for 50-55 days flowering, I set the room up to look less conspicuous by leaving the tent up hehe and just building around it :p music stuff, guitars here and there 7 in a row JUST like that :) I'm based mostly in the area and always work out a proper schedule, NEVER guesswork!! I try to always hit the 29-30 day veg mark, that almost always guarantees me a lb +. Actually amazing difference that you get JUST from vegging a plant 1 more week!!!!

A small hint ;) My currently finished Amster Gold hit the 1/2 lb mark and then some. 1.... That's right ONE more week would of dramatically increased my yield numbers. But I really couldn't of asked for a better result!!

The remark i got from my mate who ' gifted the clone ' .......... " Fu*king HELL........ what did you do to it???? Thats fuckin ridiculooooooooous LOL Well i told him, i stuck to basics and gave her less food! Oh and maybe the dual blend of CycoFlower & Dutch Masters blend.

Beautiful work Slanty!! Man i got some catchin up to do on this site :) I swear i'm dreaming though and i'll soon wake up!!
Your plants look gorgeous, green and healthy matey! awesome stuff!!!

Ok Readers!! And Porn lovers!! She had a nice 7 days drying and 3 days curing so far :)

My newest update and some sweet dry shots of the new Amster Gold! :) I bow to this lady as being THE BEST QUALITY i have EVER grown. Hands down! Flavour, potency, smell, I'm stoked with her through and through!! Just amazing, I expected a fairly harsh bight considering her caked in resin appearance, but she went down so smooooooth it was like this bud was meant to be lit!! I love my vape.... but THIS in a nice clean glass bingle is just incredible. She delights the senses with a first hint of pineapples as soon as you light this stuff, as your eyes light up with your flavour senses tingling, the end of the bowl burned to transparent ash and whisped down the hole with such awesome ease i was jaw dropped lol! Flavour of apples and sweet spicy hash stayed in your mouth long after toking. The initial feeling was almost overwhelming it grabbed me tight. Really tight, right when i thought i was gonna be ok it slammed me and i had to cough.... and cough and heave myself over in a near spewing position only to lift my head moments after with my eyes tearing and deeply bloodshot. Need another..? Me not think so. I looked to mrs Flowa..... I think we done it. Yep this one is it. It wasn't a huge yield but the numbers show fine with me. 270 grams after a 3 day cure from 21 days vegging and 46 days flowering. Yeah! let me at her again, i'm gonna stock up on this. Some close mates are gonna get some awesome sleep with this i can see that now.

Look for the upcoming hint :) Oh and the small pile you see in 'that palm' is the smaller stuff i was curing in a freezer bag, this is how it looked after being in there for 3 hours. I remove it and let it sit LIKE THAT until it falls apart naturally. This way it damages less trichomes in the process. Its an ongoing cure with meds like this, i obsess when it gets to a certain point so this is going to be a fun journey to say the least.


Yes, that small baby girl you see is Amster Golds daughter. Time for an inspection then back into it!! i will update soon enough with maybe some more pics if people like :)







what this!!?



Its a baby this. Thats what.

















There's more....... believe me

Thanx man :) I'm not to sure they don't it that much anymore.... A few have cottoned on to the idea, its very fast. Majority of new growers tend to think its about the nutrients available in soil and density... its much more simple than that. Give the roots what they want and good fresh nutrients and i start to see a pretty picture if you ask me :) I'm actually fairly new at growing Hydroponics, so thats also great news for anyone out there wondering if they can do it!!

Saying that, i'm actually having a tough time getting my new clone settled. I didn't give her enough rest when i transplanted and she's a bit parched and the stupid new feed-ring shat itself!. CLOGGED ON THE FIRST NIGHT. ( as expected mind you ) pissy little holes, some weren't even drilled through, so i got the scissors and made some chunky new holes, and she's flowing again, but it hasn't helped for the first night in as the perlite dried up causing a ph spike. I calibrated this morning mildly flushed and gave a medium dose of base nutrients with some silica and Dr. Repair. I will give a dose of funga-rid in 3 days to cleanse the roots to free them of any bad bacteria. I did have to add a few drops of ph down to settle things, and noticed a nice drop in the water level, so thats a great sign but a few days will tell, its still very early on.

whats the flo taste and smell like, from dj short right?
like apples/pineapples but very hashy, spicy hash, it has that white widow sting about it, you know JUST after you inhale and you really feeeel its effects... and you taste hash... very rich in taste actually, it makes you want to taste another but the effect tells you different.

The drip rings are shit, better to drill 1/4" or 1/2" (Convert to metric yourself meh! :)) To your liking in my experience. I think hes talking bout Dj shorts strain FLO... I had one back in the day that I was gifted. I had heard really intresting things like great and unpredictable color changes and a super Psychedelic high plus was told that she preffered to be multi harvested, like that every few weeks you could pluck off a substantial amount of buds and she would repay you with more flowers in a few weeks time. This is not what I found at all. Either that, or my phenotype was a bit anti social cause no matter what I did to her (The whole garden could be happy as tits and she would be having a temper tantrum ) I found the yeild and quality to not be worth the effort I was devoting to her, the color changes lack luster. Honestly when it came time to multiharvest her I culled her and put her directly into a slow cooker with a couple # of butter.-S0uP

do you ph solution at normal 5.5 ish area or? sorry if u already mentioned this stuff, are you using organic or? my buddy always used g h with good results and I had good results with general organics, only difference was somehow he had his ppms up to 1700 on established clones but had to flush often, I never go past 1000 ppms but never "flush" with less than 500 ppms and still don't get burns just explosive growth. Curious but I guess the organic gh stuff though smelly isn't as easy to burn with for sure
- what are you feeding with?

I would love to see an article written on you and your method because it just bloody works so well! Hats off to your sir :D
