Your some craic CalliHey guys!
Congrats on the chop Herk, and on the lights Stick!
Really looking forward to seeing them in action too!
Nix organic - I've jumped to the dark side for a beat and went exterminator on my fungus gnats with a pyrethum spray LMAO regretting it just a bit. Whilst I was spraying I knocked my lights and thus was forced to set them straight whilst my head was in the pyrethum cloud - I almost died myself?Seriously, I had to lie down and have a sleep afterwards
To round off my attack, I spread a good 3cm layer of quartz sand over my soil (after feeding some SST and a handful of compost, which I am hoping will help counteract the poison I introduced to my system). So now every time I open my closet some Beach Boys tune hits me (I think it's Surfin' USA and no I'm not a fan, it's unnerving LMAO)
Anyway - my current Pineapple Express on day 39 with 3-4 weeks to go:

And I'm finally sprouting a Mephisto Sour Stomper which will probably go into the soil tonight, tomorrow morn at the latest.
Just not sure how I'm going to plant them with that fat layer of sand on my soil? haha
Cheers!
Hey up pal, good to hear from you. I'm sound thanks mate, how are you?
Yep, I also encourage this, wang some pics on, it's an open thread, I don't mind loads of pics!
Yeah I know right!
Ah, not sure - I have the impression she stopped growing when I nuked the closet, though she does seem to be picking up again now. I still haven't figured out how to feed my soil either, so I haven't been pushing her. So while she definitely has a beautiful form (I really like the just-LST approach I used on her!), it remains to be seen how that translates into yield hahaHaha you nutter! it sounds like it's good gear the pyrethum! Can I have some? lol
The Pineapple Express looks really healthy and dare I say looks like it will yield more than the last one?
The Sour Stomper sounds great! haha what are the genetics? Is it an auto?
Good luck with the rest of the grow!
So I'm half hopeful, half fearful lolYeah lights! I'd say it's the one most disputed and confusing aspects of indoor growing at the mo. I just switched to (DIY Cree CXB3590 3500K) COBs myself after a long and trying attempt to understand what is really relevant - I admit I just gave up at some point haha
I'm starting to see small pistols now on the Pineapple Sativa. The purple bud x 2 are very slow starters but we are also seeing shoots of change. Will get some pics up tonight if I can
I've been looking at the timber 4- cob 300 w Cree 3590 3500k kit as well as California light works ss440 & the amares & the ecosunlite Chinese made knock- off that uses Cree cobs & chips with Chinese drivers they seem to work & for a led are priced really good I'm waiting for some grows using them to finish but it looks like I'll use a 315 for awhile until I can figure the led thing outYeah I know right!

Yeah the Sour Stomper is an auto strain too. It's my last grow before my move, and it's going to be tight to get her to finish on time since I dawdled with the fungus gnat issue.
Mephisto genetics are 3 guys based in Spain who have specialized in creating awesome automatic strains - and what I've seen of them has been breathtaking, even in the hands of mere mortals (There's a whole Mephisto subforum on autoflower.net, where the mephisto guys also share their experiences, been lurking around there peeking into other people's grow rooms haha). So it will be a test of my environment too - if they go tiny too, I seriously need to rethink
Btw I resolved the "how to plant" question by making craters in the sand. Planted them yesterday
Yeah lights! I'd say it's the one most disputed and confusing aspects of indoor growing at the mo. I just switched to (DIY Cree CXB3590 3500K) COBs myself after a long and trying attempt to understand what is really relevant - I admit I just gave up at some point haha
I think lights are in a sort of snake oil phase at the mo... Just hoping the snake oil of my choice takes me somewhere good! Same goes for Stick's newest!
Its shite mate, just all leaf, no bud! I'm going to give it a chance under the 315w see if it prefers the conditions, otherwise Id just chop it now and let the other two use the energy it is wasting.What's wrong with Holland Hope? It looks great
Maaan you are sooo mean
She deserves it lolMaaan you are sooo mean
But yes, worlds of difference as compared to the others... as it will be more often than not, however, your gradation of shite is the other man's fat nugget LMAO
That said, yeah she looks unbalanced and knotty somehow, with the leaf tips turning up or down or twisting or burning, overfed a bit maybe?
Ohyeah I so hear you, there's something liberating about the freshness of starting a new grow
PMSLOhyeah I so hear you, there's something liberating about the freshness of starting a new grow
