Growitup Greenhouse 2011

I have been following a few threads detailing studies that suggest amber in large percentages is bad. Obviously, there has to be some amber just to get to a mostly cloudy! But the studies say that THC degrade and CBN levels increase as the trichs turn amber. The reading convinced me. I think I have read that trichs continue to turn as the buds dry and cure also, albeit a minimum amount.

It may still make good edibles though. Don't think bubble would be much better though.

Here is the link where the study is referenced on trich's if your interested

I like a good couchlock, so I do like amber but I chop at 10% amber cause in my chamber (in just a few days) they will go to 40 ~50 % amber.

as for what might of happened Cruz, amber is the sign of degredation and you were using the big light in the sky I'd have to guess the sun got em we all know THC don't like light and if you were flushing with plain water or feeding reduced nutes doubtful the plant had the ability to make much more, but thatr is just a guess based on what you said?

I was hoping you'd chime in riddleme, I thought you were who I read about trichs continuing after harvest. Do you think that happens with normally hung dry and jar cured too?

yes if done properly, but at a much slower pace

Yea, I think that's what happened. Another thing was I did let them hang longer, I had high humidity and cool temps so I think they hung for two weeks.
Looked and smelled fine, burned ok, I like the coutchlock too but this just didnt do it. Maybe a tolerance thing.
Hey, have you tried headband? It's suppose to be more of a sativa but I get a nice body rush with it.

Thanks for the info gumball I had seen that article before. We've all heard it before, its nice to hear it from someone who isnt a stoner, lol.
I took what you said to heart and added some fish emulsion to the res today, didn't effect the ppms but dropped the pH a few notches.
Added 50 ml to the res, 1 to 2 tbsp per gal is recommended, I went with about a teaspoon a gallon but you know me, I always start slow with nutes.

Very nice job there mate, u seem like a real pro. Definately gonna keep track of those beauties

I am glad you let me talk you into doing what your gut told you to do already

Fish emultion is wonderful stuff. I use it during all stages of growth. The brand I use is bio-bizz

I'm no pro but I'm a hell of a lot better grower then I was a couple years ago.
Welcome to the grow mate.

I found this at a local nursery, Used it in the initial mix of all this soil and have some left over.



EB Stone organics, I figure shit is shit right?
This is what I have used this grow, aside from the neem oil.

Well ya gotta figure that soil is starting to lose its potency, this is the third grow I've used it now.
I've added more bloom nutes regular but just a couple hits with grow. Still seems to be doing fine for the rest of the girls.

See the first one G-13 the row? That area gets no morning sun till like 11:00 now. See how she isn't yellow? got the same nutes as the rest.





The rest of the girls look green enough, wouldn't you say?




I got our Miracle girl back the the opposite corner now.



This side gets sun at about 8:30 So I gotta figure these yellowing girls are just farther along then the rest.

They look good still. Funny the difference the morning sun appears to make.

Yea man, its not like growing inside and adjusting the lights, Here I gotta adjust the plants.

Week 5 silver jack.
Week 7 G-13
All and all the girls are looking great.
I think I am going to like the spring harvest's best. Cool temps = Less bugs. G-13 is really stacking up, gotta love that Indica. We got pistils that are turning orange.










Silverjack is impressive, like the headband it's loaded with trichomes and calyxes are starting to build.







They stopped stretching now they will fill out.
Ok, let me finish this headband doobie and I'll get a vid up.

looking good man! got some frosty ass buds!

Yea Buddy! This Silver Jack is really livin up to its name.

Here's this weeks vid.

Looking nice! Good video!

Greets

Dude, thats awesome

Your voice man, you should do commercials and narratives like Morgon Freeman, LOL and your laugh is almost cunning and evil like an alfred hitchcock movie or something. Great video!

Thanks guys, I finally figured out to keep my mouth shut while filming so then I can splice the clips and not cut off what I wanted to say.
After I get the video ready I watch it and record a sound track with windows sound recorder. Then add it as a music track.

Glad you enjoined it, I have fun learning how to do this stuff.
Mu ha ha ha.

I was just about to comment on your voice as well cruz, you really could do voiceovers for commercials. You're not a real man until you voice pitch can scare away a bear!

It doesn't dude, trust me. I did it once.
I was camping up behind Mirror lake in Yosemite once with a friend and some cubs came into the camp when we were both crashed. I woke up to them eating my cereal and got up out of my sleeping bag and tried to shoo them away, I didn't see Momma but when she let out a scream so did I and let me tell ya, she didn't run but I sure got the hell out of the way. LOL

You sound almost exactly like Derek from the John Doe Radio podcast.

In Colorado by chance?
