LMAO....you gotta have one sharp ass blade...don't forget to scrape the bottom inch....thanx for the input,that avatar is my first indoor female....methinks I had too much time on my hands

howdo satman....got some nice looking kids there1!
so with the light cycle thing ur doin......lights out after 12 hours "daylight" then after 3 hours in the dark,the light goes back on for an hour? or have i missed something? then what? lights back on when they would've come on after the 12hrs light?very interesting bro.....

you got it right...lights on at 9pm for 12...off at 9 am...back on at 12 for one hour...then off again til normal time....i did this for ten days,after 5 weeks flower,and the only reason I waited so long was to finish sexing my latest...big un grew from all the tops 4 to 6 inches....tops new growth all had calyxes and trichs...been off the cycle now for almost a week,no hermies,and allnew growth is filling in nicely...appreciate you stopping by,but now you gotta give me your honest opinion...lol

my honest opinion? lol....
well.....think ur mental lmao...id be far to shit scared to try it incase my girls all hermie...
rep+ for doin things outside the box tho....where'd we be with out free thinking growers???!?!?!? lol

I did a whole lotta thinkin about this one...first was stress...well,they are used to that light,right? so,not stressful,imo
next was deciding how long to kick them on for,and when....I have spent a whole lotta time with these girls,at least 4 hours every day,and I noticed that when the light comes on,30 minutes later they start growing fast,and this spurt continues for a couple of hours...so,30 minutes to wake up,and 30 more to soak up the light for continued growth after lights out...how long I should do this?...My reading tells me they will reenter veg in 2 weeks,so ten days sounded like a good guess,and now I wish I had only ran it for a week,cause my miracle gro babies took off like a rocket,not fully flowering anyway,so it was just veg for them...except for that ten day cycle,they were under 12/12 from seed....both well over 4 feet now,at 5 weeks old....this is all a theory mind ya,and it has did what I wanted so far,which was to grow bigger buds with no hermies,and to use up some of the leftover nitrogen in that extended release soil....the only thing I don't know yet is how long I delayed the harvest...I am hoping for aug 1(the 2nd is my birthday,what a present huh)but I don't know if I will make it or not....still got to fill in a lot

LMAO....I was worried about the hermie thing too,with 6 growing females...but its just bagseed,right...lol...I get all the bugs worked out,then I will go for some good genetics and see what kinda monsters I can grow

4' plants in 5 weeks???how the fuck???
mine are bout that and, altho been flowering for 2 weeks,are no where near 4 feet!

To tell you the truth,I am not sure myself...I made a few changes to germing and transplant procedures...but I shit you not,I had to snap the tallest one's neck,at 54 inches she was taller than my light would go...lol...these are bagseed,so it could be strain related...got some clones,so we will know in a few weeks...I counted 22 branches off the main stem,and I lost count at 70 on the secondary branches...I have been able to leave the smaller one alone for now...at 52 inches,the stem is massive on bottom,and very thick right to the cola that is just starting to show...and they truly are 12/12 except for the cycle...I just built my veg area last week...it seems funny that my youngest,just barely flowering,is twice the size of the one with huge colas...

By the way,Thank you all for stopping by...b-mad and dixie,I tip my hat to ya for the reps....stick around and we will see if I can make this thing go hermie...lol

satman i am here my brothaQ

hey man,wassup,how is your girlie tonight?

UPDATE.......Just popped the closet open and the miracle grow baby #2 grew 5 inches since lights out at 9 this morning...I have already snapped #1's neck when she outgrew the light about six inches and no signs of stopping....#2,your next....I thought she was gonna bud out by tonight...she took off again,now 2 inches above the light...actually,crushed against the glass reflector of my hood...that plant was a good four inches below the hood this morning....nope,not high,well,not this morning anyway,I checked her bud...i had to push her out from under my hood,thank god it was the cool end,my air intake...damage report later

Okay guys,#2 is fine,neck still unsnapped...pulled her out for pics...read the tape....hear the words...planted the third week of may...miracle grow extended release...walmart run...start a list...lol...400watt hps...4- 43 watter cfl's...tap water...everything they have ever gotten is 6.5 ph tap water...1/2 teaspoon super thrive...For her,that plus...Ionic grow....Ionic bloom...both for hydro,bought the same day as the light...I dosed her once,flushed,and started her on bloom...start at 25%...water...50%...water....100% last feed....no ferts til the fifth node....you will know,the fan leaves will swell...dose her good,then the whole plant goes light green and grows like hell,still is,as a matter of fact....12/12 from seed til 4 weeks,then 12/12 with a 1 hour interuption,this occurs 3 hours after lights out...pay attention gentlemen....this may just be the best grow technique you will ever read for the money....it is simple and cheap...admittedly completely unproven....but I am convinced

Ok,Lights,....break down and buy you a damn light...if you want to grow,even for outside,you need a good light...if you don't wanna,then you probably don't want to smoke much either...buy the light.
Soil,miracle grow,walmart,fully fungus gnats,plants have thived though,no bugs...just gnats...no additives,no changes...3 gallon trash cans...white,2.00 ea....drill 1 hole in each side...1/2 inch in dia. drains,ya know.....no potting soil for my babies...only the strong survive...lol...blue kitty litter pans...enough for 2 of the trashcans,in each mix it all together and germ some seeds

Any questions,I am here to help,as well as brag,for the ones of you who need it....Unlike my hopefully new reader from hawaii,willow....hey girl.....gotta check her out guys...maybe I can get her to post a link....truly amazing

lol ur the man! and my baby is doing good,cant wait to sex him/her hopefully her! goinig to check up on her at 11:30 15 mins before lights out,going to mist it then close the door to the grow room to prepare her for night

good move...just keep the heat down,and get that girl some superthrive...she needs it...1/2 teasponn to the gallon...measure it...It ain't a cake...lol

got some pics coming later...got my issues with internet worked out I hope...#2...grew 5"...I am astonished still,opened the door ahd she's all smashed against it,trying to grow thru the light...my light is 6.5 ft above the floor...and high as it goes...she is 5 weeks old....I am so Proud it brings a tear to an old man's eye....lmao,yeah,right...I don't even name them...nick names to identify....Its just a crop,right?

lol its good to name them and talk to them haha,and ok get them pics up,and this one fan on low brought the temps down dramatically and is causing less burning the bulbs can actually be close now withouth heat issues!and i dont got any money for superthrive,but when should I buy molasses?

Let's give her awhile,keep the lights close,but not hot....and if you trust me and willing to wait,switch her back to 18 hours tomorrow...the cooler temps and longer light will help bring her around...mist twice a day...just ph water lightly...humidity will help bring her back too
