While I wait for the pics lol.......
Don't cut any healthy fan leaves off. Not for light penetration or anything else. The plant wants and needs those leaves. The leaves it does not want or need it gets rid of all by itself. Like the dried up brown ones you were talking about.

What's up all? So. Here's a few pictures to give you guys a little idea of how things are going here.

Sour Diesel - Pictures 1-3
The SD is the bigger of the two plants I have. It is absolutey beautiful. The hairs are allll over the place and are bright pink. Pretty cool looking.

Thai Chron Dro - Pictures 4-6
The TCD is coming right along. It's waaay shorter, but has just as many nice bud sites. Cant wait to try this shit out.

Overall. Things hav gone amazing. CFLs are amazing. LST is amazing. I love weed.:blsmoke:

Thanks dude your thread inspired me to do something like this. Fits my needs very well.
Hey thanks alot for stopping by! It is a pretty easy thing to put together and its cheap. The initial investment will be paid off fully once these two are chopped and in my pipe! Haha. Good luck with everything. Drop me a line if you have any problems. I'd be glad to help.
apprecaite it man my friend told me bout a few people using rubber maid but yours by far the best i have seen on here so far
The same goes for you man. I'd be glad to help out with anything I can. Thanks for the compliment.

I've been watering every three or four days. Im judging it all off of pot weight at this point, and it seems to be working out nicely. The plants look really healthy up until about the day of watering, and then they start to wilt, but only for six hours or so. Thanks for stopping by man!
brother bud! those are looking amazing dude keep up the wicked work!
DW! It's nice to hear from a familiar comrad. Thanks for the compliemtn. I am looking forward to the harvest.

hey if it works for ya, i cant ever go more than a day. its probably why you had leaves going brown on you in the first place. but the huge shade leaves are usually the first to go when you wilt. every other day definitely wouldnt hurt. even if it was just ph'd water.

did you think about taking clones so you can keep this going?

I am not sure how I want to go about turning this thing perpetual. I dont think I want to delve into cloning quite yet myself, so I might just buy some clones.

I know right?! The pink is my favorite part. I've been reading up on the strain and if I have it right, the hairs will eventually change to another color, which sucks. Haha. Beggers cant be choosers. I'll live. Thanks for stopping by.
Very nice grow you got here man. Good luck
Thanks alot man. Stick around for the fianle.

So, whats up all? I have been pretty bored all day and decided I would make a small update and show a couple new pictures.
Things seem to be going well for both plants. Really started icing out the last week. And I'm getting a much stronger scent. So. I see that as a good thing, although, it's hard to cover up. I'm getting some 9 leaf sets and one 11 leaf set. They're both pretty healthy. I few dying and yellowing leaves here and there, but nothing really to be worried about.
So far, no signs of hermies either, which is a huge relief considering all the shit that could have and has gone wrong. Overall, I think things are going really smoothly thus far and I'm pretty anxious to see what happens in the next few weeks. I have been watering about every two to three days lately. Pretty often, compared to my watering schedule earlier in the grow. I plan on continuing nutrients for the next three or four weeks. Then, I'll be using straight water with a teaspoon of molasses. That is, unless someone convinces me otherwise. I've heard so many pros and cons about molasses and there's generally a wide range of complaints, but the pros seem to be very consistent - Better taste and more weight. So. I figured I will try it out and play it by ear.
I've also been doing alot of reading on drying and curing, and I had a few questions. First of all, what do you all recommend? I have read a few things about air drying and curing. I've also heard alot about water curing lately. I have smoked some water cured stuff before and I can vouch that its still dank as hell, but the taste and smell are greatly compromised. What do you think about water curing?
I guess thats the only questions I have at the moment. Gimme your input!!

Anyways, the pictures....

Pictures 1&2 are a shot with both ladies side by side.

Picture 3 is a close up of a the Sour Diesel bud.

Picture 4 is a close up of a Thai bud.

Hope you guys enjoy the pictures, and I look forward to your advice. Happy Smoking! :weed:
