Hey FT...

FT! you missed a day! You better get me some pics today, I wanna see these suckers EVERY DAY! no excuses!

9/22 Update

I missed a day...I know, and I apologize guys. My health has been getting the better of me the past week or so. I took my pics for yesterdays update, I just couldn't get the energy up to post them. Fear not, I have 10 - 12 nice shots of my girl for you guys today. Shes put on another inch and a bit heading towards 14". The hairs only at the very top are starting to "yellow/orange" up a very slight bit, the lower ones are still nice and white. I'm amazed at how many bud sites I'm seeing from a plant that wasn't topped/FIM'd/LST'd/SCROG/ETC... Oh and grown under what, 7 CFL's its entire life and not to mention 26W CFL's lol. Anyhow, before I count my chickens here I'll wait to see what if any weight these sucks put on. I mean they look nice now but they might be twigs and hairs when all is said and done.. Time will tell

I'm still feeling rather off so I'm a keep this shorter than normal. Here are the pics everyone... Clone info to follow after pics..

I'm going to make another post in the next little while about TH2 my clone. She's still alive, I'm not 100% sure of the exact date I cut her. So i'm a go back in the thread and look for it then in my next psot i'll give a length of life and then show the 3 pics I got of her. I put her in soil so can't see if there are roots..BUT I'm sure its been more than a week and shes not dead.. so that has to mean something..the soil can only hold her up so much.. Anyway I'll save that for my next post.

Have a great one folks !

CGM: Sorry dude.. you know I wouldn't do it purposly Plus I took a few extra pics today just for you man ! lol

jus passin through to say hello lookin good mate! Cheers

ur supposed to be able to see crystals without flash but it kinda looks like resins to me

hey FT, shes looking real good mate! Not the best few days for mine....of my three Ice plants......2 were males, "bigd" and "wolf" both grew balls!!! So now i have one confirmed female (shes beautiful) and im still waiting on the 2 skunk #11's....but....."FT" and "Yellow" are feminized seeds so i'm hopeful of better things from them! I stare at them regularly, but they dont actually do much!!

Anyways, hope youre feeling better soon bud....and keep up the good show!

what day in flowering are you in??? things looking sexy - nice growth at those bud sites@!

Good fuckin job dude! your plant looks to be at perfect health. your doing an awesome job for using soil. my first soil grow had so much nute burn that i was shocked that i actually got 2 ounces per girl, i've used soil for the last year on four grows and about a month ago i tryed HYDRO and im never gonig back to soil just bcuz its so much easier to control how much nutes they use without hurting the plant, your plant will always tell u if its hungry by showing lil signs, like for instance i change the reserviour evey six to nine days bcuz i like to wait till i see a lighter shade of green on the new growth on top of the plant. just a slight change in color tells me that the water in the tank is beginning to run out of food. so since the plant is always healthy it grows stronger and bigger, by the way your plant looks real good you would've thought it was hydroponically grown! keep it up BRO!

I switched my plants to 12/12 on Aug. 31st.. I didn't confirm female till Sept. 12th. I'm not 100% sure which one I should count as "day 1" at the same time, I don't know how long this plant will flower, I'll just have to follow the usual signs..Colours and smells, that kinda thing Thanks for the compliment !

Well now...Thank you... Thank you very much dude..I've been sick as a dog as of late and just plain out of it. I'm finally feeling a bit better today and to come online and see such kind words.. well, its really quite nice. so Thank you again... I've thought long about hydro... in fact I do plan at some point to give my hand at DWC.. i love the principles of it..I have an idea to modify a specific design and add a fogger to have it as sorta hydrofogponics.. I've read about it before and would love to try it.. just not yet, I like making a mess with soil for now !!!

Thanks to anyone else I didn't "single out"

start countin the days from when the buds start to form!

Ok here comes post #2 in a row... There will be one more as it'll be my daily update coming next.

This post is one I said I'd do yesterday but just couldn't get up to do. As of yesterday, TH2 was still alive and kicking... she has a slight bend but nothing to really freak me out.. I haven't gone down to check on her as of yet today but I'm hoping things are ok. Since I can't look for root growth, I'm checking for new growth up top and all on the "stem". Still has a really nice shade of green. The one thing I forgot to do was go back in my thread and see what day I took the cutting. I can't believe I didn't add it to my paper journal..damn sick makes me less on point, lol. Anyway I'll go check after this post and just come back and edit at the bottom...

Thats all I have, here are 3 pics taken yesterday of my little girl in hopes to be a mommy plant !!!

**EDIT** So I went back and as it turns out TH2 is exactly a week old today. I took her on 9/16, so I'm a guess if she hasn't flopped over and shriveled up after a week somethings going well. Not in the clear just yet, but for sure on the right path...

Morning Cheetah !!

Thanks bud !! Will do that !

9/23 Update

Gooood Morning Everyone ! Or Afternoon Or Evening depending on when your reading this, lol. I can't believe that I still have things to say on a daily basis instead of just posting pics and kinda like grunting. Either way, I'll say the same things with a bit of a change TH is looking great this morning shes just a little bit over 13 inches now and one hairy beast. The frost is starting to form on the smaller leaves coming from the buds on most but not all of my buds. Ok really though, I'm tired of typing.. time for pics !!
