No problems tahoe, I have no problem answering questions as I can see it being time consuming having to search for answers amongst journals. thanks for all your support!



Thanks for the comment Brotherjolly as always!



Thanks jomal, I have lots more in the oven, Here in about two weeks I'm going to constantly have something to look at as bushys closet lights goes out the other closet lights come on, vise versa, it's actually cool..



Thanks Rocky but unfortunately I don't know much about fox farm products, I heard lots of good stuff about them and was actually able to get my hands on some grow big and tiger bloom, I did get the grow big late in the veg stage so I didn't get to use much of it basically started with the tiger bloom, I haven't been going by the bottles chart I have been cutting the dose at least half and I didn't use any ferts for seeding or sprouts, I vegged most of them feeding them only water....

I am gradually upping their doses, for instance with the tiger bloom says to use 2-3 teaspoon per gallon of water, I used one per gallon for the first week or so, as I seen that my girls were taking to it, I then upped it to two teaspoon per gallon and toward the end I will use the recommended dosage.

Now that I'm using molasses, I started out feeding them one tspoon molasses one feeding and one tspoon tigerbloom the next, but Iv'e been reading that it's ok to mix the molasses with the nutes, so now I'm starting them out with one tspoon each per gallon of water, every feeding, I will do this for a feeding or two until I see that that are taking to the mix, after I will ad two tspoon to one tspoon molasses and then on to three spoons tiger bloom.

Then comes harvest, HOOAH!!



PIMP I started to watch the video got through the intro and noticed how long it was going to be, again don't have time to watch however it does seem entertaining to watch, so yeah I will watch it when I can, I will let ya know if I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing the video with us..

Concering the lighting in the the closet I have 11 26w cfls and two standard shop light fixtures, two tubes per fixture, each tube is as follows .. 40w output - 3150 temp 4100 .. times four, you do the math, I don't know anything about the flos, however I plan on getting four more shop lights as they are fairly cheap, I plan on adding another one to the two existing and three for the other side of closet, beam of flo light on either side and am planning on building two light fixtures with tons of cfls rather than one big fixture, I find that it will be easier to manage, so stay tuned to see what I come up with, if you like bushy's grow light setup, you're going to love these....



Rgr that masta, everybody deserves happiness, with a few acceptations of course but who are we to judge, anyways I borrowed a cannon power shot with a lot of the trimmings from my brother, at first I was a scared, I didn't want to go messing with it not knowing what I'm doing and end up returning a broken camera, however since then he has givin me the camera and I have been having a bit of fun with the settings, taking videos etc. still have lots to learn....



Thanks majim, HOOAH!! two bedroom plus grow room i'll take it, I wish I could afford a vacation to the Caribbean's, you just don't know, the two places I would love to visit in me life is Jamaica and the real Amsterdam, that and growing pot has been my life long dreams, I'm managing bringing one out of the three to reality, so next on my list will be Jamaica or Amsterdam, I don't know witch one I'd like to visit first, with some luck and a hole lot of monies I will have the ability to visit them back to back but still witch one first, remains a hard decision..

Don't worry about spelling mistakes, grammar etc. believe me, some will see I make my share of mistakes, however I only blame half on the pot..lmao I get more brain farts more than I'd care to share...

Thanks LovIt for the special appearance, I soo wish I could do that, you see I do have photoshop but don't know much about it and can't find the time to learn, so I'm hoping the pictures that I come up with will sustain everybody until I'm able to use photoshop better or until I find the right option on me camera.. do you know photoshop, want a job?



Lights are about to come on and off, gotta run....

Until Next Time!

Cool, sounds good and thanks! Here are some pics of "susie"

Pics are After Day 1 of watering with molasses and a week into Fimming.....

I have to leave out of town tomorrow and it will be next Friday when I come home..can't wait to see the growth difference....watching it daily seems like it isnt growing, but it is...

On a side note around lighting, I am using 6500K temperature for Veg and going to use cool 4100 for flowering.....from what I read, you can use 4100 for all stages...however the red rays in light are used for stem growth and flowering......but from what I have seen and please do correct me if I am wrong, 4100K temperature works fine for all stages???

6500k has more blue light - veg growth
4100K has more red light - flowering/stem growth

damn them hairs are starting to wither.. How far away from harvest you recon you are?

@PIMP, Im sure you would get much better results if you tried to get your red spectrum as low as possible..
You should be able to find some around 2800-32000K Im sure.. For best results I would think use more blue in the veg, and then use more of the reds.. Using both from start to finish.. More of red or blue when its needed..
Im from what I also read the 2800K's are the best for all stages, if you arent looking to change the spectrum..
4100k Im sure would work for all stages, but you want to get as much red as possible for flowering.. So just sticking with the 2800k IMHO would be best, if you cant use more then only one spectrum

lol, that's funny- send me a pic, and i'll show you how i do it- it's easy, or just look at my thread on closeups again- it pretty much describes what to do in photoshop step by step.:blsmoke: https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/29264-how-take-digital-camera-closeup.html

Photoshop is super, super easy Hum. If you need to, pass me your pics and I can do tons of things (lighten up certain spots, blow it up with a good res, etc).

Just start fucking with it, and it comes naturally.

No problems Rocky, thank you!


total, Your shit is looking sweet, I posted a question in your journal, asking if you are still only using the two cfls, or have ya added some? keep up the great work! looks like you will be smoking soonish..


PIMP, I didn't realize you had something going right now, do ya have or plan on starting a journal? also the molasses from my understanding is best for the flowering stage, it was recommended to start the molasses the second month of flowering, so that's what I did, who's taking care of your plants why you're gone, enjoy your time away.


Good question joeblow, I really don't know but it seems like a fast flowering strain, it's only 44 days into flowering and already looking very smokeabowl! I was hoping for them to be ready in time for xmas but it's not looking like that's going to happen, the buds are taking their time filling in and I'm wondering if they will ever, I do plan on taking some samples to smoke over xmas/new years.., also thanks for the info concerning lighting..

I'm hoping the viewers will be able to help me determine when would be a good time to harvest!


LoveIt, I've visited your digital how to .. I LOVE THAT THREAD!! helped me take and share the images that I have been, also I noticed your photoshop tut but I don't have the time right now to learn anything other than pot growing..lol.. Thanks for taking the time to create that thread....


G that would be super, could you save the images that I've already posted and do some tricks with them, or do you want specific shots or angles. lol for instance, can you take out the foreign objects on the buds such as human/cat hair and shit? I'm finding that's one of the draw backs, also using a white sheet for refection doesn't help.... sooo ghetto but it seems to be working....


tahoe, I thought I was the only one who knew about ctrl z:mrgreen: ctrl z has saved my computer from the baseball bat many times, also ctrl x c and v are life savers for me...


Thanks Harkin as always, thanks for droppin in..



Grow room - light status,





I moved the side light bar because it was too close to their side leaves and was burning them as they were turning brown not yellow, since I moved the lights things are back to normal, I really don't know what the bottom lights will do, however I'm convinced that it's not going to harm them, it actually lights up the hole room, for example when the bottom lights are on I'm able to see through the girls .. branches and all but when the lights are off I can't see but the outer buds/leaves, I think I will leave it there at least until I decide I need that fixture for something else....


Bushy and small - day 44,



I'm starting to wonder if their buds are actually going to fill in, right now looks like hole lot of chunks, nice tight hard cunks I might ad and if they would just fill in I'd be as happy as patty cake!


Bushy - some top views/angles,










It's way past me bedtime, gotta hit the sack, more and more people are starting to visit this journal and are keeping me on my toes, I thank you all for helping and supporting me with this journal...


Until Next Time....

Haha Yea Hum, I could virtually remove anything from the picture but the real trick is adjusting the hues and saturation levels which will make things that you ordinarily wouldn't see stand out like crazy such as pistils and things like that.

Yeah, I don't think you're wasting electricity... haha. Your buds look big and delicious.


i wonder how they would grow if you grew them sideways like mine. I bet the stem would look like a tree trunk eventually. lol.

Thanks tahoe, keep coming back it works!



BrotherJolly I have the same amount of light as stated previously minus 1 23w - 1600 lumens, however I found out that some of the 26w lights are 1750 lumens, not all were 1700 as I thought, so I really don't know the exact amount, I may find time to figure it all out but right now it stands pretty much the same, give or take some lumens...



Most recent total,

I removed three of the 23 watts and added four more 26, the three that are in the middle and the front right lower bulb, now have
18 26w - 7 23w totaling 629w and 41800 lumens surrounding the girls, damn close to the 400w hps and I'm able to place them closer also place them where I want.

Thanks robbie for popping in, smell is faint, wish it were stronger but the smell is fantastic when I do get a whiff, I too can't wait to see the end results..



What are you waiting for G, take the following image as an example, strut your stuff , after ad it as an attachment in your next post, I will take it and host it, then you can delete it from your attachments to save room, I will do this with whatever images you decide to blast....





Don't be jomal, your shit is looking great, I'm sure you'll do well, if possible keep adding light as you go .. best advise I'm able to give you at this time....



No wasting electric here, it all flows to my head in the end, is that why your stalks are soo big? I thought it had something to do with growing hydro, I heard that hydro will grow larger stalks than dirt but who knows.. it still looks awesome... I do plan on experimenting with lsting sometime after I harvest these three girls..



Thanks pencap, I saw the pictures ..HOOAH!! finely get to see some action, I agree posting pics using your phone can get quite expensive, I wouldn't post much more, save up for a decent camera, but please do try the video, I'm curious to see...




Mediocre Update, it's been a long time awaiting,

Day 39,









You can get a good idea as to how high she is, her longest cola is approx. around the same size as bushys cola.. 29inches.

























Mediocre buds - lights on,











As you can see mediocre is catching up to bushy and small, I started her on the molasses today, all three girls are now getting the same amount of feed...

HOOAH!! Until Next Time!.....
