the closet i started this grow in has been too small. it was only 25" x 34" and having a 600w HPS in there was way too hot for these plants. today they are in a new room, this one is still a work in progress, but is looking good so far. the ladies have a 61" x 34" space to lounge around in AND there's enough space for a stand up osc. fan...

pic2: D1 is at the top of the pic, you can see how topping her has produced 4 large cola sites

correction, as of today D1 and my PCC entry are both confirmed females. 2 for 2 on those seeds so far... took 4 clones from D1 today, they went direct to soil.

Congrats on the females!!

A couple of you girls are looking a little rough... I take it that was from the heat. The new girl looks happy!! What kind of nutes are you using?

yeah the fire i had caused massive probs for the first set... temp probs, was using only CFLs, had light leaks, etc... it's all dialed in now. 83F max. with lights on, 67F min. with lights off... using the FF liquid trio and was using unsulphured molasses, stopped using that lately because i think it was causing the yellowing... everybody seems happy as shit now...

Looking good, nice to hear you got everything dialed in. Do you have good luck cloning to soil? I've only cloned using bubbleponics, and it works great!!

so far 3 for 3... have 8 other fresh cuts in the clone closet, fingers crossed...

here's some pretty poorly taken cell phone pictures...
this is/was #3, a bagseed plant that went through some major stress... the clones from her are looking fantastic, so under better conditions this plant would've been much nicer. all's well though, she's a smoker now...

Nice fat nugs!! Enjoy your smoke!!

this one's at day 60 (near as i can figure)... first time i've tried taking trich pics, came out okay for a camera phone i reckon...

pic1: trichs near top of plant
pic2: trichs in middle of plant
pic3: this is her, plant #6

Nice pics!! It look like they might be starting to cloud up. How much longer do you think she's got?

i like a mostly cloudy harvest... they look cloudier in the scope than the pic shows... maybe a week more...

here's #6 getting her hanging trim... turned out a lot better than i thought, very sticky, lots of thick buds, 2 arm's length branches plus more... yummy...

here's how the TSS are doing... they are 11 weeks into flower... thinking like 2 - 3 weeks left...

WOW Nice trich pics!! What do you use to get that close?

Nice BIG buds on #6!! Enjoy her!!

thanks. just been using my RadioShack 60/100 scope with a cell phone cam... takes a minute to get the camera exactly over the eyehole, but it eventually looks cool...

coolness.
i got some thai skunk freebies, wasnt sure what i was gonna do with em, figured they'd be too tall for my setup to bud out to full potential. its cool to see you got a good yeild in such a small space for a sativa dom strain like that.

mebeb ill stick mine in a bubble bucket under a 400w mh and see what happens.
usually with sativas like that i stick em under cfls(sativas, cfls, wtf? lol... i know. but there nice cfls) and baby the piss out of em for 6 months in a closet setup i have; to get my own personal headstash.
its kinda funny, lol.. i call my closet meds 'hangover helper' regardless of strain cuz i baby them to the point of max thc over yield, and it is usually the most potent stuff anyone can find where im at... so everytime one of my buddies goes on a bender one of em will show up begging for a joint or 2 of it the mornin after tho ive grown tired of the strain ive been using in there, mebbe the thai skunk will be a welcome change.

do you have a smoke report on it?

thanks for stopping by IAS... no smoke report yet. these plants have been easy to grow, although they don't look like champs they have survived quite a lot of stresses. the 2 clones (of plant #4) that are flowering are showing the full potential TSS may have. i'll post pics tonight at lights on and elaborate further then...

here's the pics promised from earlier...

pic1: #4 has shown female hairs for 83 days, been in a 1 gal. pot since the 12/12 flip, and had her top(s) cut off about 60 days ago, #4.1 & 4.2 are her babies who've been on 12/12 for 20 days now and have had zero stress
pic2: more of the 3 ladies, #4 is 39 inches tall, you can see the many colas of the clones
pic3: closeup of #4 with camera flash on
pic4: without the flash
