dam that light is bright yellow/ lol

I know... And the Lumatek high PAR bulb I'm running is actually much more blue than the Horti I normally run. Damn that HPS orange! Next round of pictures I'll edit the color.

Dam son! Your plants are about to pass mine up! Haha, good grief....I need to invest in that C02 ASAP!

I think that they just know I'm in a hurry. I damn near ran out of bud until a buddy helped me out with a few ounces of his outdoor - doesn't compare to my indoor though. Faster plants faster!

So the other day I was totally convinced that at least 3 of the 4 were complete genetic hermaphrodites. No banana here or there but full blown 50/50. I was stoned as fuck but even still I must have had a damn good reason to think that.

Right now they look fine to me but the degree to which I was positive about them being herms is a bit disturbing. Hopefully they will all be fine - but if they do herm completely at least I wasn't crazy and saw it coming.

Supposedly it's a femmed cross of my own creation. I'm really bad at labeling correctly though so who knows - I definitely have worked with some hermi genetics before.

did you use either that silver technique to shock the plant, or wait for it to overripen and hermie itself to feminize if you don't mind me asking? i'm curious as to how all that works.

I currently make and use colloidal silver however these were older seeds and the product of stress based pollen.

Same. I'm not sure how I have no mites. I'm straight up using outdoor soil and humus and always have mites. I was supposed to spray on the onset of flowering but totally smoked that possibility away - oops. Still waiting for them to show up any day now

Damn mites...

Gastanker · Nov 29, 2011

Should be putting two more plants into the gap on the back left. I found some mites on the plants in veg so I gave them a complete dunk in Azamax - hopefully this wont kill the plants but personally Id rather that than mites. I think this is day 48 from seed entering soil and day 22 of flower.

Just starting to see trichs - mostly on just the buds nearer the UV.

hammer6913 · Nov 29, 2011

kill em all dirty little bastards. i have to spray again tomorrow. they goit into the flower room cause i didnt spray before i put plants in. dammit..so thats me in the mornin..

Right? It always goes so fast once into flower. I wonder how long these will run. They are ~25 days into flower so just under half way for an 8 week strain. It would be killer to be cutting in a months time but who knows how long they will take.

Updated progression shot:

Progression - day from seed entering soil

Day 1,5,9

Day 13,18,20

Day 22, 29/5, 32/7

36/11, 39/15, 41/17

Blah. Went to repot the 2 I have in veg and realized I'm out of amendments.

To the store tomorrow!

Blown away at how easy this grow is going. The flowers are near doubling in size daily and the plants are huge for just a 3 week veg and all I do is water about once a week with plain tap water.

Huge containers with organic soil makes everything pretty much fool proof

mistyriffs · Dec 5, 2011

lookin great tank! i'm chasin you down on those fat flowers. fillin in nicely bro

Gastanker · Dec 5, 2011

Woot! Got my BHO tube in the mail today direct from researchkitty. They threw in a free oil dish as well

They ended up sending the larger model which held just a bit over 1.5oz of ground up bomberry buds - straight buds no trim this run

I'll get butane tomorrow and update with yields.
