beautiful! shes a 10-11 weeker?

Actually, she's supposed to be a 7-8 weeker, I think flower time is based on when pistils show, not when the lights are flipped(not sure though) and that means I harvested the first side at 8 weeks and this side is at about 8 weeks as well. I plan on chopping her at about 9 weeks(11 weeks since 12/12)

i start to count when flowers show not when 12/12 hits it could take 2 weeks for a plant to flower in 12/12

I don't recall seeing anyone posting anything about using co2. I'm mulling over the idea of maybe investing in one. I'm wondering if anyone in the club uses co2 and if so what can I expect to pay for a reliable system?

fellas... you are in good company. I start counting from pistils showing as well. Don't know how many times I've been called an idiot for being that way. Glad to hear there are others out there. Gotta love the 600.

williewill ... nice pics bro. You grow some nice plants over there. Funny thing, I always thought your name was weewillie... not sure where I got that. Sometimes I read to fast I guess.

Tearing out carpet in the living room and putting in hardwood floors today. Wish me luck. My plants are looking good... not much change.

peace

just more pics. my purp indica went hermie but its ok cuz it will not produce seeds on them or the shishkaberry cuz i sprayed them with DM reverse withc stops seed production so its okay and i know it works cuz i used it last grow on my really hermied plants and only got 5 seeds so im fine. after i harvest these plants i will only be a lurker on here and i will still comment and what not but i am giving my card to a grower for the outdoor season. so mabye some pics and stuuf bt thats it till next winter if im still around

I count my time the same way, when the pistals start showing not when the flip to 12/12 is made. The only exception I've made is with my current sativa dominant grow. I vegged these girls long enough they had been showing pre-flower hairs for weeks. With that in mind, I started them on gravity yesterday, fed them again today with it and will feed them one more time tomorrow morning. I've added in some molasses with today's and tomorrow's watering. I'll give them a good drink of plain water tuesday morning and wednesday morning a light feeding of 1-3-2 for another week or so and see what developes. Yesterday started week nine and my strawberry haze is really starting to glisten, now I hope they harden up and put on some weight over the next couple/three weeks.

I use co2. It seems that a worth while setup runs about $1000usd. You can get a nice co2 generator from hydrogen for $375-$500. Then a nice co2 controller for $350-$550. If you have a small garden(less than 10x10) and heat isnt an issue, I would go with the minigen and not water cool it(to keep costs down) and their matching co2 controller and you could have a real nice setup for about $700 depending on where you order them from. Here's a couple of links....

Heres the ones I talked about above...

And if you want to spend a littl more cash and go top of the line, I would go with these, but this unit has to be water cooled, so you would have to add a 1/4hp chiller or run drain to waste off of city water.

Afternoon to all across the pond. Hope you are having a fine Sunday.

So the obvious next question jigfresh is...is it worth it?

Thanks D. Hope things are well in the land of the dutchies. It's cloudy and windy here in the Mountains of SoCal as well... spring will come soon enough. Haha... I think it's funny that we all hang in the 600 instead of our own grow journals.

Integra, you are a welth of information my friend great stuff.

ANd McPurp. Sorry to see your growing styles go for the time being. Hope to see you growing again pretty soon. Good luck to the outdoor guy.

Do you mean integra... I'm all kinds of confused.

I think the co2 is worth it if you have everything else dialed in just right. If everything is to the max... the co2 will make the difference. I don't know though. I'd take the 1000 bucks and visit Japan, maybe Korea, lol.

Aye, been like a mixed bag of sweets here today, Jig sun, clouds, little bit of rain, wind....but lots of shmokey shtuff. Just about to tuck into strawberries, icecream, and warm blueberry muffin. Lekker.

Yup, integra, you're confused jig and I'm stoned...sorry about the confusion

well i fixed my heat stress issue with some bungie cords. I tied the tallest nodes down to the 4 poles in the tent. LST should work just fine. glad that problem is over.

well they are most likely gone but i migh have a place to grow my self for thw summer so it mught no tbe the end for awhile but we will see i guess. i hope this guy i know lets me use his property

Crazy multiple branching ( no topping), snake tongues at every node and they been vegging 3.5 weeks. Starting to show their true genetic potentials. I tried a different feeding routine and something went wrong..but all is back to normal feeding every watering now. Gonna veg them for another week then to the flower room.......Next is the first bubbalicious I took down 7 days ago. I fried it up pretty good experimenting with that fox farms cha ching. That stuff is super hot and I couldnt work a good feeding schedule with it....Then some dried bud pics from that bubbalicious

Yeah, I had brought it up on a different site like a year ago, and it seemed like everyone was pretty much split down the middle on it. But from my expierience, it seems like we have the right idea. From pistils showing puts my flower times right where they are supposed to be. So it makes a lot of sense.
