Yeah I browsed that site for a few days until I decided on a strain. G13 has another strain called Killer bud that I almost went with. According to the description it's says THC levels reaching 21%. They said it was probably their most potent strain to date. You could grow for a lifetime and never be able to grow all those strains out. They have such a huge selection. I'm the kind of guy when I buy something it'll take me forever to decide on which brand make or model I want. I'll stand in the isle at a department store for a half hour weighing out the pros and cons of what I to buy before I make a final decision. Now trying to pick one strain out of hundreds was a real nightmare for me lol.

Aight man I'll check ya later.

Peace.

i'll have to check out the killer bud. the skunk haze i have going 12/12 from seed says its 20-22% thc, but it says it finishes in nov outdoors. now i got to go back threw all the strains and add them to my little book of genetics. seeings how im growing by real strains now. im going to try and keep track of what i grow for now on, and leave comments for each strain for later reference.

I got the same problem and I think I narrowed down to pH lockout. How do you check your pH? I checked the runoff on mine the other day and it was 5.1. That tells me a lot right there. I'm putting 6.5pH water in pretty dry soil and I'm getting 5.1 on the runoff. I've found out that if you put dolomite lime in with your soil from the get go, it helps to stabilize the pH throughout the whole grow. That's the only thing I can think of because I'm not over ferting and they're getting plenty of everything they need. For experimental purposes, when I water tonight I'm gonna pH my nutes to about 8 and then check the runoff. If my line of thinking is correct it should raise my runoff to around 6.5.

Just something to think about brah. I'll let you know the results later tonight.

i check the ph with the drops sense i dropped my last ph meter in a water bucket. my new dig ph meter should be here any day now. last time i checked runoff it was close to what i was pouring at(10-20% runoff). i decided to check the ppm of the water of the bucket i took the water from. i gave them snow water(melted and at room temp) instead of tap water like i wanted to. i just mixed up the last weak nut mix for the 2 lph. i'll feed it to the lph tonight, then i'll use just tap water and mix more snow water in as it finishes. even tho i smoked some of my test plant last night that wasnt flush, and it didnt crack or pop at all.

That's why I'm giving the no flush a try this round. I'm starting to think the need to flush is just an urban myth.

me to. i gave my mom some and she liked the taste and how it smoked. i'll give my sister some next time i see her and she what she thinks also. i'll do the same thing with the rest of my harvest. i mean if you really think about the flushing part. plants grow in the wild never get flushed, and their always getting organic nutes from the soil. idk im no pro.

I'm no pro either but sometimes you just got to say WTF. If you don't like the results it's not that hard to go right back to what you were doing in the first place. If the experiment fails, I just mark it up as a lesson learn and move on.

Check ya later.

my fan controller just got delivered, just like they said it would be by today :bigjoint: i'll hook it up and start dialing in the temps tonight. the filter is working great so far. cant smell anything at all, well unless i open my closet door lol. it even cleans the smell from me smoking also :-P plus i mixed up some nutes for the plants. i'll add the blackstrap molasses a little bit before i feen my plants(this stuff smell horrible), then ph it to 6.8 seeings how my milwalkie ph meter showed up today :) and also my pollen press. and the lady at the post office made a joke about she should know my name by now as many packages as i get lol. 1 park i hate about living in a trailer park. i have to pick up most my packages sent to me.

i just flushed all 3 plants that needed to be. it was not fun at all. i checked the trich on the 2 lph and they looked about 50-70% cloudy depending on where i looked at. today is day 40 of "55 days". so starting thursday i'll give plant #3 only phed water and plant #1 i'll still give some nutes. i have a couple ginnie pigs to try my flush/no flush buds besides me :) i tried taking some pix of the trich threw my 60x scope but none came out any good. i also decided to see how big my plants were and both plant 1 and 3 are about 29" tall with top nodes tied down. and i supper cropped the female skunk haze yesterday.
side note. just got a email from my cousin. he's going to use some extra computer parts a power supply and 4 fan speed controller. to add to the computer fans he already gave me. i'll get another box from him, he said he has a taller 1 same size wide and deep. so i'll be able to gave a small veg box, and a box for breeding. if everything works out. i'll need to get some more lights and timers. once i have the money ofcourse. I HATE BEING BROKE!!!!!!! LOL

well i just started reading some of your old posts lol. dude i would go ahead and flush the skunk. im no pro, but when leaves start getting brown spots that fast people usually recommend to flush. I had some brown spots forming on my last grow and i thought it needed MORE nutes and i ended up waaay over feeding them.

the skunk haze was 1 of the 3 that got flushed. i might flush them all again once they dry out some. have to see how they do in a day or 2. i think the other skunk haze is starting to show sex. looked like very tiny balls forming when i checked before lights turned off. if it is, i'll take some clones from it, then cut the rest down. that way i can collect some pollen to make some seeds of same strain, and maybe a mix of my own :)

skunk haze 12/12 from seed. the female isnt doing very good at all, not sure if she's going to make it. the other one looks like its a male. i'll give another day to make sure. then i'll take 4 small clone from it for pollen and keep them sealed in cups till i have a box for just them.

well it's official the second skunk haze is a male. i have it pulled out for now. i'll take 2-4 clones from it, for pollen collection. try my hands at a little breeding :bigjoint:
here's the only 2 pix of the skunk haze male that came out where you could see.

looking good subed! Where does the ducting lead to once it hits the wall? Are you venting inside a wall or tied into a air duct?
