shes lookin good man, and why not use the mg again, i dont use it but did once and it seemed to work fine with no probs, but any way how far into 12/12 are u, i started a new journal for my seedlings and also i got 2 new clones

I'll be watching along with your new journals.

I'm going to be using the MG Nutes again, just not the MG Soil. I got some new, better soil from my buddie who I get the clones from. So I'll be using that for the next few grows. And will also be getting a few new clones here within the next 2 weeks! I'm excited about that!

As of today I am 44 days into flower I believe. Give or take a day or two.

I was gone over the weekend snoboarding and when I got home I found out my roomate's brother closed both my closet door and room door not knowing it'd cause problems. Well I got home and it was 97 degrees in there, and she was wilty as a mother fucker! It was the saddest thing I have ever seen!.. She's looking better now, but still not as good as she did. I'm slightly upset about it, won't be leaving her like that again untill harvest, that's for sure! New pix coming in a the next few days.

oh man thats shitty to hear about the heat, lookin forward to the pics

Alright guys, so I took some pix tonight. The buds are looking pretty dank, my fav part is it smells like PURE citrus! I have no idea of the strain, but it smells like just straight citrus! My roomate think's it's orange peel from the smell of it, he's smoked orange peel before, I haven't. So I dunno... The heat stress isn't looking as bad anymore, but you can still see the yellowing and some curling caused by it. I woun't be leaving her alone for that long again tho!

Alright here are the pix, best I could get for now.

lookin great she dosnt look bad at all she must of recoverd good,

looking hella nice man, grats on the beautiful girl! ive never lst or topped or anything b4 on my 2nd grow now thinking about topping but you just tie that plant down once and it did that? thats pretty sweet looks like a whole bunch of plants great job +rep

Edit nm looked through all your pics and saw you had it tied down in like 4 places lol,

Ok guys..... SO as of today, I believe I am 6 weeks and 2 days since I flopped the lights over to 12/12 (not exactly sure but it's got to be close to that)... I don't have a mocroscope so don't know the color of the trichromes (clear/cloudy/amber) so I am completely lost as to when I should start my flush..... I'll see about taking some better pix of the buds tonight...

I'm curious what all of you think. So, 6 weeks and 2 days since the 12/12 flop. When do you guys think I should start the flush? Cuz I have no idea as of right now.....
Thanks for any insite guys!

Yea, what I do is just take like 8 screws. Screw them partially into the top and around the rim of your pot, then you can use a shoelace to tie around what ever branch you want to move and then just tie that off on one of the screws. It's the shit man! I LST all my plants and would recomend it to anyone!
The trick is to tie the MAIN stem, main cola or whatever you want to call it, tie it lower than the rest of the branches/nodes. That way ALL the side branches shoot up for the light! Thus creating a bush! Go for it man! It's going to increase my yield alot!

-Much love, Hookd

well the average finish time is 8-9n weeks, but dont know your strain maby the pics will help determine

hey bro i justed finished up my first grow about a week ago here is the link to a thread i started lots of great replies on how to tell when its done and people posted lots of pics if you want you can read through it: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/286256-3-days-8wks-r-they.html#post3570497
alo heres the link of the microscope i bought less than $5 free shipping and arrived to alaska in like 3 days works great: http://www.amazon.com/SE-Mini-Pocket-Microscope-100x/dp/B001878S7G/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1264716360&sr=8-5
about your lst did you plant them way off to one side? looks like you did all mine are planted dead center can you still do it with as good of results?

Hey thanks man, I'll go read through that. And I''ll have some new pix up tomorrow. I know i just put some up, but I tried to get some better actual bud shots.

And I actually planted it sideways, but in the middle of the pot. When I transplanted it, I kinda planted it at an angle, Like this (._/_.) in the ground instead of (._l_.) so I could get the stem how I wanted it. If that makes sense. But you can do it planting in the middle of the pot aswell.

Here are the pix

EDIT: I took out the pix, they're taking up to much room, and this isn't a journal for that plant... If you wanna see them just go to my pic album (White Russian Cone) or something like that, all the pix of the LST from start to end are in there.

lol, it's really fuckin easy! Just know how you want it to look, and keep the tip down...

Hope this helps you out a bit.

thanks bro yeah that did help alot tried to rep you again but wouldnt let me. only problem now is i cant decide if i want to lst or top now was for sure set on UBs topping method for 4 tops but now i dont know have to look into it more maybe ill do a scrog now sight decisions decisions

haha that looks like a set of cannabis plant torture pictures =P

pic 1, begin torture
pic 2 , one hour into torture.

ha, the pics on the first page of this thread, looking good man, good job at keeping the height down too thats impressive, im worried that im accidentally going to create a bush in the woods!!!

Thanks for the words guys...
And I was thinking about tryin UB's topping technique for 4 tops. But just decided not to, I'd rather not cut anything off the plant, less stress, and I can get virtually the same sorta results just by bending the plant over.

But I may decide to try UB's topping just to see how it goes with a new plant. I've got the seeds, and everything to get em goin, just have to decide when I actually want to germinate. But yea, these bush cannabis plants are the shit man! Alot of people have never heard of or seen any cannabis plants like this! It's fun! And a very effective/eazy way to increase yield if you have height restrictions. I love it! It's the only way I gro!

Ok I worked on trying to get some legit bud pix... These are the best I could do for now, so enjoy, and PLEASE let me know what you think/and how long you would guess till chop chop!

ya IMO lsting gets way more colas i have over 30, by lsting,i dont know if im gonna lst my new grow though i might do topping i have no clue yet, and if u have no plants vegging in your box i would get some in their, so their ready to flower when your other plant is done, u know like a perpetual grow, unless u got more plants i cant remeber

lookin great, looks like shes gettin some purple in thier, i cant really see the trichs but it looks like all the hairs are still white, i would start to flush when about 30-40 percent of the hairs have turned red and receedeed a bit, but thats just me, u should really look in to a cheap scope

Yea that's a really good idea! I want to get some seeds started soon! Perpetual grow is exactly what I'm going for! So I'll prob germinate some of them seeds this weekend. I will be getting a few more clones come NEXT weekend though. I believe a Pineapple Express, a Green Crack, and a Strawberry Caugh... That's the ONLY reason I haven't already started some seeds.

And I actually just ordered a X30 scope (I read to get at least a X20 or bigger, so figured X30 would suffice, I hope so anyways) As well as some precision triming scisors for harvest time. Those should get here by monday I'm thinking, so I'll be much happier having a scope! That way I know for sure when I want to harvest!

Damn this shit's so exciting! hahaha

dam it u just get hooked up with clones, i would rather grow from clone then seed thats awsome, i want a pinapple express, and a 30x scope is perfect i use a 30x scope, and i need to get some trimmin scissors to, allthough i never had a prob with regular scissors, cant wait to see the new clones

Ok so I started adding ulsulphured Molassess in with my nute feeding... and GOD do I wish I started doing this sooner! Most of the buds on my plant are looking nice and tight and fat... But at one area, where the plant gets the worst light, there we're a few puny buds... Well after reading that people use molassess to fatten up their buds during flower, I decided to do so, and to be honest, was alittle sceptic... But much to my suprise, those little skimpy buds are actually fattening up into nice sell-able buds!... Just thought I'd share this, and I WILL be using molassess on my grows from now on! There is actually a quite noticeable difference in the "fattness" of the buds after just 1 week...

I should be getting my X30 jewelers loupe in the mail here within the next couple days, so I'll be able to check them trich's! Just about 2-3 more weeks till harvest I'm guessing! WooHoo!

i use mallases to its supposed to help uptake micro nutes, ive only heard good of it to, so i use it, some people say they use it through out the hole plants life and others just during flowering, im just doing the mallases in flower
