huge heart that bkb has! you make riu cool bro!! last of the moheekins.dont ever change dude.
I am digging your Avatar of Hard Work!!!!! Beautiful my friend and thanks for the kind words!!!

As far as the pics....just looks like root bound. Her green isnt too too dark to where it would be too much "N" I am guessing the clawing leaves are due to root bound although it does the same with too much "N". You can still get some good bud off a root bound plant. Have you used any Cal/Mag? Have you tested the pH in your soil or runoff

The one I believe is Shortcake looks fine as far as color is concerned, she has clawing but thats from it being root bound. The other two, I dont know if they are flowering or still veg, did you sex it and then re-veg it? If your growing these for a contest, then ok cool but if your doint it cause your limited on space then I would recommend you using Smart Pots and Lsting. Its much better to grow in a 1 gallon smart pot than a party cup. If you want we can work something out and I can send you even smaller smart pots if your interested or dont have access to a hydro store. Here in Cali Hydro stores are like Auto Part Stores, they are everywhere.....I would continue to do what your doing but just make sure you document all your feeding so if your plant get out of whack you can go back and pinpoint where you put too much or too little of something. Thats what I do. I hope that helps.

I always try to feed different strains the same dosage and nutes and it always seems to give me problems. Now I let the plants show me and tell me when they need food and what food they need. Reading plants is what its all about!!!

Been doing the same thing since about my first couple of weeks growing Lol....Now I just need to remember to right stuff down when I do it -_-. Anyway, I think I might have narrowed my plant issue to a high pH problem, so I went out and bought some Apple Cider Vinegar. I'll let you know in a couple of days if that was my problem √

75/25


I left a little bud on her about the size of a quarter, hopefully she'll reveg


Here she is
:










She ended up weighing in at about 22 grams wet, so I'm hoping to get somewhere around 6.5 dry I got some vinegar yesterday for my PH, so pretty soon you'll be seeing some high yielding party cups from Psychild √√ All is well over here, my perp should be starting up in around 6 weeks, with a few harvest somewhere in between. Also my band just got invited to play at a music festival for 15-30 major Music labels as judges...one band gets signed. As a bonus there is a seminar that the labels are throwing for bands to learn how to get there music out, and "get heard." We get one original of our choice to play, and one chance to play it. √√ We all have to learn this song in 3 weeks Lol.

Sorry I went on a rant...I already had to re-type this once, figured I might as well make this one worth it

I'll post more pictures of the grow in a few days. My phone was dead all day so I couldn't take many pictures. Anyway, I've added one plant a week to my closet for about 4 weeks now, and hopefully will be able to continue to do this. The problems is I don't have a mother plant right now, and I'm running out of clones
I might end up lollipopping Erin so and cloning her bottom 2 branches that way I have 2 more clones to throw in the closet soon. I cloned the 2 headed top from the clone that I topped a few weeks ago and it grew roots in about 5 days √ Then I took 2 of Erins smaller growths from the bottom and dropped them in a shot glas with water. I didn't cut them at a 45* angle or scrape the stem or anything, but after about 6-7 days they were growing nubs for roots. After I saw this I decided to put them in dirt and let them have a go at growing some roots. Seems like people take cloning too seriously, and just make it harder than it needs to be. I don't use a dome or anything, and with a 40% humidity and constant 90-94*F temperatures I still get a great success rate and quick speeds.

I put a home-made Pipe Cleaner screen with roughly 1" squares to put over Daphney. She was getting way out of control and there was really no way I could think of for LST, so I decided to go this route. A lot of people at RIU think I'm an idiot because I did this, but frankly....Idc Lol. All I wanted was something to help me train her a little, without hurting her and helping out yield. I think I did this at the perfect time, and if I'm right she will look much like #6, which will be perfect for this screen √ I'm pretty sure Ariel will be done in 3-4 weeks, as well as Mandy, Number 6, and possibly Shortcake. After that it should all be perpetual, once my harvest begins.


Thanks for reading guys, hope I didn't bore you!

Thanks guys! I'll do a smoke report in another week or 2. She weight 7.8 going into the jar last night, and at her first burp today she weighed 7.2. I'll let you know what she weighs after she dry's all the way. Here's some more porn √√
