Today plants looked nice, no signs of any more bugs. However when I was lookin at my new plant which I put in the treetops, the limb I was on snapped, and me and the plant fell a bit of a ways down, I had the pot in my hands however so I was able to coushin it with my body and arms, so it is ok. I moved it to a new tree, but Its not a good spot, but I cant really climb that good anymore, arm is really messed up, not sure. Going to the doctor tomorow. And dont be afraid to laugh, its not life threatening, I will laugh tomorow about it im sure, hurts pretty bad atm however, but atleast plants are all safe. : )

Hey guys just got back from getting some new pictures for you guys following, I also have some new ones of my seedling that I transplanted into the trees. Its not doing so well however and I would really like some help on it. But here ya go, any suggestions, advice, comments are appreciated. Thanks : ) White widow is a little over 4 weeks into flowering, purple widow is about 6. All the hairs already turned orange, but new ones are coming out. Iv been trying to look at triocomes threw my scope to see when to harvest but the purple buds are tricky, becuase the tricomes appear to be amber, but the balls on top are still cloudy. But I think it has another week or so left. Enjoy : )






Now heres some of my transplant in the trees. I need help with this one, so if you know whats wrong please help me out. Even if you dont know, and you have a guess, ill take that to : )









There ya go, hope someone can help. I added 3 tbs per gallon of molasses on monday. The monday before I added 1tbs. Next week monday Im going to add 4tbs. It seems to be helping. Also does anyone know how to get closeups of the bud? I have a pretty nice camera, Kodak 5.0 megapixels, I mean its not the best, but whenever I get close to the buds, it gets all blurry.

Thanks for any help : ) Grow on growers... grow on...

You should be able to set your camera to "macro" mode. Most cameras show this mode as a little picture of a flower. Set your camera to that mode and you will be able to get close up , pretty pictures of anything.

Added 4 tbs a gallon of molasses yesterday. 2 gallons total. My seedling appears to be doing better, and new growth appears to be coming out and looks green. I think that I damaged to much of the rooy system when transplanting, so the plant couldnt grow anymore untill the roots caught up with the plant size. I believe it has now, and it will start looking better.

dude what do u do about the helicoptors i wish i could have a set up like that but theres been alot of people getting cought in the past years what can i do? and is there a way to keep plants small like 3 feet tall?

As long as you keep your grows small, helicopters usually wont bother with you. I keep mine under 4, but you could probably get away with about 8 or so, just spread them out. But if you only have like 2 or something like that helicopters wont really bother. To keep them small just FIM them, or LST. LST is when you tie you plants down so they dont grow tall, they grow horizontal, FIMing is when you cut the top of your plants, so that you get a bushy plant with more top colas, but not as tall.

Go to FAQS and click pruning, alot of good info in there.

Goodluck : )

Dude, don't cut it down. (here is where we talk him down, like an AA buddy). Just one more week, set a date and stick to it. I'm sure anything you lose between that time, you will make up for in potency and weight. Don't do it, you will regret it "FOREVER".

Hey Jack, I didn't realize that was an 'earthbox' grow. Nice work. Is there a reason you don't have the cover over it to keep the system self-contined?

I apologize in advance if you mentioned this already, as I didn't read the whole thread. If you have, just say so and I will go reading!

lol nah man I didnt have the cover for it, and I watered it threw the top, and threw the res. So i didnt think it neccesary.

But if you do an earthbox grow, try it out and see how it works with it Mix your nutes, ph, then add it to the res. Hopefully the taproot will find its way down to the res.

Also try a perlite, vermicuite mix, basically a hyrdro setup almost. Would keep your PH good, andhopefully promote faster growth

Goodluck guys, give ya an update soon : )
