I believe I am just finishing up week eight and on to week nine of flower right about now. the smaller girl I keep thinkin I wanna cut but...I just keep pushing myself to wait. and the larger definitely has some sat in her blood so I am probably gonna let her go at least another two weeks...maybe 4..we shall see. but thanks man...the buds have just exploded on me in the last week. I can wait to see what the big bloom does after using it all the way through flowering with the 600 watt hps on my next batch. I am hoping I can add another ounce per plant to my harvest with it next time...

okay....i am actually day 66 of flowering on those two girls so about 9 1/2 weeks so far

They shore are purdy...lol..mine is gonna be a little slower than I expected too,but its my fault...tried something different

hey there just stumbled upon this today, looking very nice honkey. i don't know if you mentioned this earlier, but what nutes are you using during veg? i noticed the fox bloom nutes, you got these at a hydro shop and they are fine to use with soil? mix in with the water? im on my second grow, 400w hps and still in veg right now but looking at what you have done as help so thanks

as far as these girls go.....they have had it rough. As you can see from the leaves....but I was using miracle grow nutes all through the grow up until the last feeding which was like what...two days ago now?...i dunno...lol. I have posted a pic of my nute stash and I will attempt to explain what I have used everything for specifically. top loft...rooting hormone...I mix it with my water when i transplant and soak the shit out of the soil and let it dry out completely before watering again. next alaska morbloom.....I used this when I had overwatered and my roots werent getting enough o2....I also used the peroxide at the same time...just mixed it in the water and watered as normal...next Foxfarm big bloom...just bought this...pretty sure I overnuted with it the first time cause the leaves look burned but the buds blew up in two days...so I am sure it is fine...next the miracle grow boxes....used the tomato food one for veg and it worked just fine for me...then when I went to flower I started using the MG bloom booster. also worked very well for me...but I dont have a comparison of good nutes yet...so. nextrooting hormone for my clones and lemon juice to bring my water ph down if needed. my ph is NEVER low..it's always high....the vigoro on the bottom shelf I DO NOT use on my plants. I use that for some bushes in my front yard. so that's the rundown. I do plan on getting some veg nutes from the hydro store soon but just gotta find some time. if you have any other questions feel free to ask. I am more than happy to help.
and thanks satman....my next bunch will be a lot better now that I can put them through a full flower with my 600. I am very excited to smoke these girls though....and keep your eyes on the connies.....that strain is fuckin amazing from what I have seen...colas the size of baseball bats. mmm mmm

I keep forgetting to take pics of my clones for you guys to see how they are doing....but I just got around to it...so check em out....looks like they will be ready for soil in a few days. ...yay trainwreck

Dang honkey,might have to get me some of those...they look like they rock,great job with em so far....don't cut her yet...watch the trichs close.
Been working on something a little different here,so I am gonna start a thread(argument) site here in the next day or so...should be pretty interesting,and I hope informative,as well....got some great pics of my plants that will be going up there too,so be on the lookout....If you don't mind,I can post a link to it here?..at least I think I can...lol

Might just be easier to make it my signature huh...still figuring out how to make this site work the way I want it to.

Looking good Honkeytown.
Did you cut down the small plant yet?
I like how you have got your clones set up. Is that thing in a propogator too? If not, where do you keep it?
I have three clones in a home made propogator and three just in water. The three in the propogator have been in for ten days, they are in rockwool cubes but they haven't grown any roots yet (just checked yesterday) although the glass was misting from the humidity, the rockwool was dry so I have wet it and am hoping that will encourage some root growth.
Any tips would be great.

Thanks for the info. yeah the trainwreck is amazing, great smoke and huge yeild. check the new Cannabis Culture mag, it has a page on trainwreck its the bud of the month i guess. but good work again, mine are just behind you in age, so seeing your progress is nice to see what i may need to do.

Ay honkey, how are things?

i hope to grow trees like you one day brother. subscribed as well. good luck

P.S. Oh Shizzle, i didn't even know you were going perpetual, way to grow, and how long will your intervals be between harvest/veg to flower/seeds to veg?

Hi Bmad...the tub I have my clones in is just a little rubbermaid with some holes poked in it....I just change the water regularly....as far as where I have them...I just took a laundry basket and covered it with painters plastic and place it over the clones...then I leave that about four feet from my 150 to give it a little light...seems to be working well. All the tips I have for you brotha are to keep the roots wet and dark and to keep the plants misted....I trimmed of half of every leaf blade when I got them also to prevent too much transpiration while they are rooting.

Hi DR. yep I am trying to get perpetual.....starting small at first right now to get a handle on it ya know...but as it is right now I am gonna be planting seeds every two weeks....I plan on veggin my girls for probably two months before throwing them into flower...not real sure just gonna go by how big the first four are....then once I am happy with their size after veg I will start the cycle....the cycle wont really kick in till I put 1-4 into flower....but by then I should have a few more pots....I am lookin forward to seeing how it turns out.

Got four new seeds in soil today.....we shall see if they go....lol.....at this point they always do for me so I am not concerned. some dank bag seeds I got from a friend....I have also included a closeup bud shot of my smaller large girl....and a pic of my microscope....and yes I check my trichs daily

HAHAH, dig that microscope!! and those bags are real smart, especially bigger bags later on when the plants get bigger, kind of stretches out sideways after you water and it alleviates some pressure on the roots.On another forum i'm a part of, one dood just grows in plastic trash bags, and the guy grows trees indoors. update often brother

okay...so I brought down my smaller large girl last night...six hours of trimming later and this is what I have...I am very satisfied...the nugs are so tight and rock hard! here are some pics of the new bags under the 150 and a pic of my clones starting to shoot roots out....guess I have to go to the hydro shop today...lol...I have some shopping to get done

How long have those cuttings been in water honkytown?
Is that a magnesium deficiency causing the green edges in your leaves?

I think they have been in water for 17 days now...it has been slow...but I didnt dip them in rooting hormone till like a week after they were in water so...plus I dont have near ideal conditions for them...but they worked. I am sure they have a lot of deficiencies....they went from getting 8 direct hours of Arizona sun to sitting in a little rubbermaid getting 24/0 light four feet from the 150...so. once I get them in soil they will rock and roll I am certain. and they do have a little new growth which doesnt have any yellowing. just hard to tell from the fuzzy pic

update....clone number one is in soil....about a 60/40 mix of soil and sand. I drenched the pot with water and rooting solution mix before sticking her in....she has looked good for the last few hours since so i think we shall see success....the other clone isnt shooting roots yet...maybe a day or two

hey honk,good to see ya bro...the girlies are lookin good!!!...liked the nug shots....how is the regerm going on those seeds after the scuff?

I folded em up and flushed them today and started four new ones. I never have issues with seeds...I just dont know what was up with those connies...should would have been nice to have 12 of them though...oh well. I already have 13 in soil right now and thats after harvesting one last night...so...only one is in flower right now...
