This is so unreal, you are all going to think I am lieing, But in the last 5 days, my plants have grown 13 inches in height, and there are buds popping out all over the place.

Also,, sorry Carbon, but I think you are wrong about Arjan/Green House lieing about his Train Wreck. These plants sure look Sativa to me, and have that strong musky smell when you brush against them that I have heard of.

So moving on, today I did a res change. Here is what I added to 35 gallons of R/O water.

Sensi A/B- 275 ML EACH
Carbo Load- 125 ML
Sensizyme-300 ML
B-52-250 ML
Big Bud-300 ML

This gave my res tank a PPM of 920. Then I added 200 ML of Cal-Mag, this brought my PPM to 1100 PPM, with a PH of 5.6 with no adjustment... PERFECT!!!!!!:hump:

I am so very pleased so far with these green house seeds. (Knock on WOOD). I bought 10 feminized seeds, germed 8 of them, and now have 8 females. Life is good, right now.

And YES CALIGROWN. I am sweating having my PPM this high after what you have told me, so I will be watching them very close, and any change, I will drain that tank and flush them so fast, they will not know what hit them.

I will show more pictures this weekend.

Here are a few new pictures. The last picture is from 6 days ago, when I put the netting up. see how much they have grown in these 6 days.. Fantastic!!
These plants are 19 days into flowering right now

Look how the leafs are pointing up, like they are stretching up for the light.. Such a beautiful site.

Sure does look Sativa to me.

The tallest ones are 30" tall now. I hope this growth spurt stops in the next week.

Hey Caligrown. Any suggestions on how to keep them short? You can see my netting, I am useing it to keep the branches bent over as much as possible. Tonight when the lights go on, I am going to tie the tall shoot over.

Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Cali, you know, I can not get it out of my head what you said about PPM and trainwreck. Tonight, when the lights come on, I am going to add some more water and get the PPM down to about 950-1000.

Well last night, seeing as my plants are in their 2nd week, I went in and pruned off all the big fan leafs from the bottom 6" to help air flow, I also clipped off a few of the really thin long branches that were like 20" long. these will not produce any real buds and will use energy from the plant. One of these thin Shoots I Clipped the top from with a 45 degree cut and stuck it in a rapid rooter, and placed it under a glass to see what would happen. No Rooting Hormone, no R/O water or anything. Just plain city water right out of the faucet. This picture here is the cutting at 13 hours. It looks pretty good so far.

This pruning technic is what Arjan from Green house does.

What are your guy's oppinion on this?

I AM TIRED OF THIS!! TO HELL WITH THEM!!!!

I keep telling my plants, NO!! do not try and touch the 1,000 watt light, it will burn.

I bend them over, and move the light, but everyday I come home they are almost touching the light again. They seem to want to touch the light so badly, that now i am going to let them touch the glass before I move them next time. Heck the glass is not hpot really anyway. Not with my cooling system.

I am going to be so in trouble over hieght issues before the end of this grow.... I love it!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking about bringing out my 400 watt HPS light also, But it has an internal balast... (YUCK)!!!! I think i might try and bust it open and try to upgrade it to external. Any suggestions on how this can or could be done? i have never busted one of these lights open, But I am thinging it should not be hard to do.

hey man.....yea I totally understand, as it is what had happened to me too....and I kept "supercropping".....which worked well. but it makes the plants lose they beautiful form......but it also meant that I got these colas that were huge and full........but it helped me understand how I might best manage the growth in the future. I am hoping that my clones will provide me with a chance to do a better job inthis regard. .... though I am totally not complaining.....I got a great yield....and I love the smoke! don't give up.....they will stop vege growing at some point......:blsmoke:good luck man!

WOW,, check this out. that small skinny branch I clipped of a few days ago, and did nothing with it but slamm it into a Rapid Rooter, and put plain city tap water on the rapid rooter, shoved it under a glass.. No misting,, no nothing is looking absolutely FABULOUS!!!!

No Opinions on pruning the fan leafs or thin small shoots from the bottom 6" of your plant, when they finish the second week of flowering? This is what Arjan says he does in one of his videos, to help air flow under the plant. But remember, these plants are already about 32" tall also.

Here is a picture of the fast slap clone I took.. Looks pretty good I think. It is 2 days old.. Nothing but city water for this clone at this time. and not one bit of misting either. Look close inside the glass you will see it.

Well I am 23 days into flowering now. I have been keeping my PPMs pretty low. This next nut change, I think I am going to boost the B-52 and the Big Bud enough to raise the PPM about 125-150.

Here are a few pictures. I did just move the light up about 3" after these photos. If you look close in the third picture, on the left side, you can see the Trichs building. You can see them over most of the buds, but they are hard to spot with this $125 camera. This is definiately a Sativa DOM. strain.

Hope you all enjoy my photos. I know there is not huge buds. But look at these plants grow.. WOW!!! They also seem to be filling in nice. This is not what I heard TW would do.

Ok, my plants are 2 days short of being in flowering for 4 weeks. They are 6 weeks, 4 days old total. I just did a flush and a nut change out. I also had to tie down four more of the talliest stocks. The Buds are really starting to Show the Trichs now. They also are taking on a nice MUSKY smell to them.

I have been keeping the PPM pretty low. I am only at 1,000 PPM at this time.

When these plants were in vegg. cycle they looked like an Indica. But now they sure look like a Sativa to me. I am hoping the growth spurt will stop soon. They grew so much two nights ago, that two of the Cola's were touching my glass the next day after I moved the light up. Now maybe the plant shifted or something. But that cola moved about 3" higher in a 24 hour period. Maybe some of the netting was holding it bent a little over, and it released.

Look close at the pictures, you can see the Trichs.

So what do you all think of the Train Wreck so far?
