is Space Bomb need more nutes then the Jack The Ripper or Plushberry? is the strain just a little lighter in color then the others? im hella colorblind, and i really can not tell if it needs more nutes or not.

doesn't it suck RIU got fucking hi-jacked. im majorly bummed. so much info down the drain. makes me fucking sad.

HEY Panda! im sorry i do not measure my EC...YET! what nutes do you use? how often do you feed? i aint going to worry bout it too much. i just feel that maybe they could handle a little bit more nutes. i use Botanicare. and my Plushberry's and Jack The Ripper's seem to be loving life. i see that my SB's could be a little darker in color. they seem a little lighter then the other strains im growing. ya dig?

Hows that spacebomb going? Ive got mine on day 19 of veg. They are growing like crazy. prolly gonna have to top most of them again next week. Mine are a lighter shade of green as well. I was also wondering if they need more nutes. My PPMs are around 800. Hows the yeild on SB? I heard its a light yeilder but some bomb smoke.

so far i am on day 40. i dont check ppm's (although i know i should be, soil growing for now though). i feed full strength nutes with Botanicare on Friday and feed about every 4 days. i added Superthrive last night someone told me i may have an Iron def so i added. when m SB's were in veg they were def lighter green then the rest of my plants. and i was feeding them all pretty hard. the Plushberries and Jack The Rippers were a nice dark shade of green. had like a glossy sheen to them. but them SB's did not. so i think it just may be the strain. however i do see that in flower the leafs did get darker and caught up to the rest of them. as far as yield goes. i dont think i will be getting as much as i would like. can't complain though, 1st time running it. the Plushberry and the JTR's i will admit i could grow forever. especially the PB's. fat chunky thick 4-5" little cola like nugs just looking so damn happy. its odd, the PB's are looking like they are further along then the SB's. which is off to me. PB is a 55-63 day'er, and the SB's are 45-55. some of the PB's look as if the could be harvested first. this is an odd round for me. switched soil. upped container size, tent size, lights. basically reinvented my grow methods. everything down to watering schedule and how i water. i was in Sunshine Mix Advanced #4 and im now in Roots Organic 707 Blend. i love the soil, however i think i may have an issue with something. can't seem to put my finger on it. but hey. i have a journal. im going to upload some pics today. if you have time you should check it out. you have to dig through my profile to find it. i suck at the journal thing, but im trying, lol!!

Right on man Ill take a look at your journal. Ive read a few posts from subcool and he says he grows his SB for 65 days. He says SB looks done at 55 days but it should go a bit longer.

really, have you been to his website? i have heard 45-55 days on the website. i let everything go a little longer, but 65 days seems long for this strain. that would mean Jack The Ripper and Plushberry could possibly go 80 days.....??? they are longer flowering plants. have more Sativa in them anyways. and PB is Kush, the JTR is dubbed the fastest flowering Haze. but with conditions all being different for everyone including desired high, i can see there being much deabate over 55 days and 65 days. i can wait on the PB and JTR, but i need something like yesterday. i never run out and in down to my last few nugs til rents paid. also have a shit load of bills to pay next month, and well. i know a few patients who love me and my wallet doesnt mind the extra fattening. really not in it for the dough mind you. but im tired of making money for all my friends if you know what i mean. muthaf'ers are getting rich and im doing all the grunt work. might as well do my own grunt work.

and no way are my JTR's going to be done before my PB's. and no way my PB's are going to be done before my SB's..... just going off what they look like in my tent. i konw the last 2-3 weeks a lot can happen though. which reminds me, i have to go vent the tent. peacccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccce out!!!!!!!!!

Ill try to find the thread for ya.... its on RIU! I know what ya mean I jus had to go an buy some meds I hate that shiot! I jus got back home from a 2 month long vaca and Im running on E! I was a lil iffy about the SB when I 1st got it but from what i read it should turn out nice. I got some Raskal OG going as well....I hope that better then the fire OG i grew outdoor last year. I wasny really happy with it.

....harvest windows are just a very basic guildline......more important is the pheno, and growing method used, you could have a long pheno of one strain, and short pheno of another......just grow them till they are ready.....all in time.....good luck.

i go off amber trichs. but im quite the colorblind fool when it comes to identifying colors. i need one of them damn usb microscope with a camera on it so i can upload pics to show a friend or something. sucks kinda. i def know that the dif phenos will have varying harvest times. so i just take it 1 plant at a time, but generally stop feeding all around the same time. just harvest them all in a 2 week period. some get more flushed then others i guess is what ill have to live with.

and if your Fire Og wasnt that good you did something wrong. that is my all time favorite strain. i know a buddy that knows a buddy that has a pre 98 cut of the Fire Og. way before Apoticary got thiers hands on it. i still haven't gotten the full story but its fucking Fire. but i know his cut is legendary in LA. and he will not come off it the bastard!!! so if you didnt like the Fire, maybe you made a boo-boo. or it s was a crummy cut. dunno. cant say without knowing more of your situation.

and i could kinda agree. my Plushberries are starting to fatten up nicely, however i have heard of threads around here were growers are letting their PB's go a full 10weeks. 70 days. maybe its just that 1 thread i read, but they look like they could possibly the next to get plucked. and only 2 of the 4 SB's looked good enough to go. but after pulling one of them, im thinking it could have gone a week longer possibly.
