That's interesting, Have you seen any journals with some one growing it?

where do you guys your seeds from?

And that uv light looks like it really works?

So how many girls did you end up with greenearth?

Here is a good thread on seed. I got them form BC seeds but not to happy with them. The free ones are ok but the ones I ordered I got nothing from. It's Cannabis,com again but you should see the text right. I'm going with Nirvana or The Attitude seed bank next. Heard good things, Just have not decided what yet. I'm going to try the UVB bulb, I have read quite a bit and It makes sense that the UV rays would be missing and could have a benefit. We know how harmful UV rays can be and a plant would do something to protect itself from them.

Looking good, Your much better off bending it over whit that plant and getting the light closer. Will definitely help you out as far as light is concerned. With lower watt lights the usable light does not travel as far as a larger watt.

Yea have never ordered seeds before, might look into it more for nextime. And yea the uv bulb really does make sense, let us know how it works.

So hows it going greenearth, any buds yet? I just upgraded to larger rubbermaid, 10gallon, which is still proly to small but gunna see what happens. Where do you keep you water level, not really sure how much of the roots should be submerged. Im about 4in below the pots, was lower than that but the tops roots seemed kinda dry, so i added a bit more.

I have probably 12 solid bud sites as you can see in the picture with all the bright green (new growth) and ruffly 40 smaller bud sites on this one plant. I believe that half of the 40 bud sites will eventually grow into the 12 main bud sites. Im going to do a detailed report on this later this weekend. I have a 10 gallon tub but i only keep 5 gallons MAX in that at a time. Ill let the water drop down to 4 gallons and then ill put a gallon of distilled water in there once or twice a week. I keep the water prob 4 in below the net pot.

i cant believe how big that thing is.....Looks like it takes up most of your space...imagine you had 3 or 4 of those....... When did you top her or is that just how it grows?

Damn, she is a beast! I don't think you woulda had room to even fit those SSH had they been female...

How does she smell? I always wanted to smoke some blueberry. Did you clone her?

yea and i got my water proly.. 4in or so below net pots and they are looking good. the roots between the water and pots ao a couple plants seem kinda dry, is that normal or should they be more moist or even wet. i just put 2 different air stones inthat seem to work better than the walmart ones. They are circle stones from petsmart. It bubbles real good, like a jaccuzi, but wonder if i need more?

If I had something better then this 150W HPS then I would totally be getting some huge nugs on this beast of a girl... and people say they dont like fat girls... i love my fat ass bitch of a plant lol ... wonder if i can polinate her lol I top her everytime i want to cope a feel jk right after i put her into the flowering I randomly topped her about 10 times. Thats why she is spread out the way she is and a week ago i bent the branches downwards so that I could bring the light closer

She is deff going to fill out nicely... as long as the plant keeps filling out then i should get some kick ass nugs.. even pot korn nugs is cool with me... it does look like some of the nugs are going to grow into a small cola... since i choped down the SSH my room doesnt smell as strong of pot and she smells good.. She is straight from seed bro

As long as they have established their roots then the rockwool can be dry on top. Stick a heat pad in their and jump in with your plants...

I bet you you would be good, other people on here use buckets, ive seen. How big is the root ball??



I dont have a good camera right now, except phone. I might make one at some point...who knows... i keep ya updated tho. Im really just experimenting right know, from sht i read all over the internet and here, i think things are goin good right now just topped em....i will randomly post some pics when i can.

You would be fine with a 5 gal bucket. I've had mine in 2 gal and are almost 3 feet tall. I have to add water about every other day to keep it up. But I'm working on a recirculating system right now with a reservoir to keep them full and to regulate nutes and ph better. The only thing really with the smaller buckets like I have is if they are standing alone they would probably fall over since there is not enough weight to keep them up. But I have them down into the shelf and that gives them support. And all lines will be under the shelf and out of the way, nice clean look with no hoses in sight. Going to get some HUGE buds off these two plants. 16 to 20 inchs !!!!!

I got a 3 gallon bucket setup now. Its looking like a cleaner and more professional setup now. My nutes are up to 1500ppm and so im going to watch very carefully for nute burn over the next day. I had to cut a whole in the new net pot so that i can squeeze the roots thru it.

Ill be posting a video shortly....

Cool man, I did my conversion to day also and will post some pics soon. Wasn't someone saying you should go to much smaller container early on?? Good work though. I know a lot has to due with only one plant now but it will be easier to deal with.
