&%$@# board wont let me leave you a +rep. Says I gotta spread the love first. I owe you one!

Thanks for the rep man! Gonna hit you back as soon as I spread the love around I'm definitely going easy on the nutes, these plants seem their happiest when I'm just using nice clean distilled water

Banana, I too have been following your grow for sometime now and am eager to see the results. I am beginning a grow very soon. Would you recommend using Envy A+B the entire grow (only a 1/4 nutes in the beginning)? Or is this just something too use on top of a hydroponic nutrient solution? We have no hydroponic stores near us in the middle of podunk so where would you recommend ordering from?

Thanks for watching Tantrum, and congratulations on starting your first grow, can't wait to see it!! I would say Envy A+B is excellent for the entire grow, it's a standalone nutrient solution. My only concern is that my plants may be running a little low on nitrogen, so I might use something beefier for these last weeks of flowering. PM me later this afternoon, and I can give you contact information.

Wow. 32 days into flowering. How much time you have left? Looks like you have awhile to go still.

The buds are looking really good though. Just seems to be taking its time to bud huh?

Mine are day 9, I think you seen my last bud shots right? that was a few days ago though. Ill probably take more bud shots in 2 days. Gonna put up some AK pics later today when I hobble there to take them. My knee is fucked!

Even though urs seems to be taking its time, it sure is making nice looking buds. Very tasty. I bet its gonna be worth the long flower. Even though its hard to wait it out...it will be so worth it!

Sorry to hear about your knee man, what happened? Thanks for watching--your grow is ROCKING by the way, I haven't had AK in ages! I definitely still have a while to go, I had a few roadblocks this week which have been slowing down their progress. I was kept away from my plants for about 26 hours on MLK day, and the reservoir was about 80% drained when I got back. Hopefully it didn't stress the plants out too much! Also, I've bent over all my plants to expose more budsites; that might have also slowed them down, but the canopy is low and wide and consistent now.

When do you expect to harvest?

Click to expand...

Harvest can't come soon enough, as far as I'm concerned!! I'm still a little behind schedule, so I'd say maybe 4 weeks? What does everyone else think? It also depends on whether my LST starts working as planned. If they keep growing vertically, they'll be getting too close to the HPS, which will stunt their growth. If this is the case, I'll have to move the grow to a different part of the closet, where they'll have a lot more headroom.

thats deffinently a tease!

Dude that is gorgeous? What lights are you usin again?

i think if u put a couple of cfl's closer to the seedlings u might stop them from stretching. if u leave it that way your gonna have seedlings falling over and breaking stems. Peace

hey banana wats good how did you ever wind up taking care of the water problem did you make that siphon tank thing you were talkin about

Simply beautiful. Looking really nice. How long longer does she have?

Yeah its coming along good. I really hope the AK is female. she would be a BIG GIRL! I will take some bud shots in a day or two so I have a update on the ladies. And I believe I found another mail. And as for as the AK, I really not sure yet. And the runt wont show for awhile, thats the skunk.

Yours are looking very lovely though. Can't wait until about 3 weeks flowering then see what mine look like. Time will fly by and it will be 3 weeks soon enough!

POW! looking really brodah keep up the good work! Can't wait to see new pics, Imma put some new ones up too probably later tonight.

UPDATE! UPDATE! lol

I was originally going for a 400W HPS, but I found a great deal on two 250W and 150W HPS reflectors with integrated ballasts. I'm also using 4 CFLs as side lighting.

It's goin good surf!! I've got all the materials ready to make the auxiliary reservoir, but in my current grow location, there's not a really safe way of hoisting a 20 gallon reservoir above the plants and the HPS reflector. Like Saul said, "safety first--then teamwork" I have the perfect location for the reservoir in my next grow, keep lookin out!

Kratose said:

Thanks man!! I'd like to say not much longer, but eyeing the trichomes closely, they all look clear as daylights. That works out well though, because I want these buds to bulk up as much as possible in this final stretch! The sativa has also really stepped up its growth since the LSTing--the secondary bud sites are exploding now!

On a sadder note, I screwed things up a little bit over the last few days; two days ago, I noticed the plants were looking slightly wilted, but the pH was perfect, and the temperature/humidity in the room was optimal, so I didn't worry about it. When I checked the grow right before lights out last night, I realized that the power cord for the airstone pump had shaken loose. The roots still look white and healthy, so I don't think there was too much damage done. Good lesson though, if you have loud fans in your grow room, make sure you listen closely to see if the airstone is still bubbling. Boy I really give my plants a hard time huh?

haha, well you never know, you could end up getting them. I am not growing any citral right now. But...I do have one germinating. My buddy who gave me the Afgan and Jerry Berry had a shit load of them, so he gave me a bunch. I figure give a few away since I have quit a few!

Ya, I figure make it fun. Get people involved with the grow. Makes your grow a little more interesting to see. I always try to do that

Cant wait to see pics tonight man ! Hey do you think I will get dank quality bud even though I used bagseed? btw I have a new update on my thread
Peace

Thanks man, you're gonna love tonight's update! I can't speak with 100% certainty, since this is my first grow, but I can already tell you that these buds look nothing like the parents. I never would've thought they'd be this sticky, fragrant and hairy--I'd place money on these buds being dank as hell!

Day 69 - Monday, 1/26/2009

Day 41 of Flowering
Day/Night Schedule: 12/12
pH: 6.0

1) Some leaves are yellowing on the leftmost plant, but this does not seem out of the ordinary this late into flowering.

2) All trichomes are completely clear.

3) Plants continue to respond well to the LST; The back canopy is filing out with secondary bud sites.

4) Raised pH from 5.5 to 6.0 to allow for more nitrogen absorption.

5) Bud porn time!

My biggest single bud, on the indica, forming a dumbbell shape:



Another picture of the same bud:



Secondary bud site on the same plant:



The sativa is finally picking up the pace, rapid bud growth in the last few days:



Secondary bud site on the sativa is coming along nicely!



Even the plant in soil is starting to fill out!

does anyone use a fan and if so were is the best place to put it

damn banana lookin really good man

things are lookin perfect, i cant wait to see the finial product and the final weight, i jus got my lights today, and will be starting to flower my girls, did you do a 24 hour dark period? or did you jus chuck them into the flowering cycle, good job man
