hey Dan When you say " take the skirts up on your ladies " do you mean trim alot of bottom foliage? I have a room very similar to yours, I've had some big issues lately so I haven't updated in awhile with pics but I think things are getting better. I'm 12 days flowering. Nice work, you did your homework obviously. Sorry man I'm too busy/lazy too read through your thread, I may when I get a chance but for now, I don't have time. 9 gallon pots you say? isnt that overkill? I've seen plants bigger than yours flourishing in 3 gal pots, I'm just curious is all. Can you nutshell how you water in that dense forest for me? aprreciated, peace man ~ BCbuddy

Hi BC, Yeah thats what it is, I took up the skirts ( cleaned the bottoms ) of the plants in week 2 of flower. The 9 gallon pots i use are or were for the plants to gain extra room for the roots to grow in veg as the root mass from the pots before these were really dense. when i transplanted in to these pots i gave another week in veg. but i could have given longer. Im going to veg for 8 weeks on my next grow.

In a nut shell i use a 240liter container and fill it with 120 liters of PH 6 water. I then add my nutrition and any other addatives. I Have a HOZE-Lock pump, hose and extendable Lannce. Then its just a case of timing the amount of water so that i reach 5 liters per pot. And as the plants have been cleaned up I can get under the canopy with the lance. I also have a 1000liter tank for when i need to flush...... Pics below...

haha yeah I anticipate crawling around alot sweating going to and from my res in the closet with a 2 litre jug...worth it though. I really did put too many plants, well vegged too long anyway, for the size of my room. It will be a packed jungle and watering will be rough going but I got myself into it lol. No quittin or pussying around, check my avatar

thanks m8

Just spent the last 3 and a half hours reading this thread from page 1 to 57, I'm awe-struck. Sub'd and +rep! I'm glad I noticed this before you harvested, I'm excited to see all this yield in one place!

hey dan! sorry, been a while since i sopped by! its almost that time to roll up a fatty huh? dam man i bet ur excited! i cant wait to see your final yield! i been having quite a few problems with my grow lol...

Hey UB lad... firstly thanks man.

I class my lady's in flower from the day i turn the lights back on from 18/6 to 12/12. Although i am going to give my ladys an extra week or 2 if there not fully mature. I did ask the same question as i wanted to know myself and the research was undecisive, but what i found out was valuble.... some strains take longer than what some seed banks will tell you and others a shorter time. Its really up to the grower and the plant of when to harvest. Im just playing a waiting game and using my microscope to look at the tritches.

With mine i giving 1 more nutrition feed tomorrow, then when the pots have dried out ( prob 3-4 days ) then i going to flush the pots and keep the flush going for 7-10 days. then its harvest time. So all being well i should be chopping in 2 weeks ish....

Hope that was of some help bro...

P.s i'll check ya thread this afternoon....

Yeah get your ass back here sooner ya punk.........lol ( O/J ) Im getting itchy scissor finger's. I can't wait, Not long now, and the Ladys are still packing on weight. Im not sure when there going to stop putting on weight, but im not complaining.....lol Im so unsure of how much im going to yield, but i think its going to be more than i expect... Not counting my chickens.

i'll take a look at your grow and if there is anything i could do to help with your grow problem's then holla. I love to research as ya know and i will see if i could come up with any solutions for ya....

Dan

hi DAN DONT GET ITCHY!!!!! lol. i made the mistake with my first five from harvest and although it still sold with excellent reports the 3 plants that had a week longer are selling for 30 euro an oz more! normally i sell it for 190 a oz but the quality of my last 3 was such that it even looked like a different type of weed! (i have been lazy but i will post some dry bud pics later). are you anticipating being able to harvest in one large effort? the reason i ask is because im doing mulitiple strains it seems they are all taking longer then the alleged flowering period and as your also doing multiple strains you might have to do what ive done.....i hope not though because its a pain in the arse! lol. what are the expected flowering times for your 3 strains? are they all similar? if so its something i will be doing in the future. multiple strains but they will be all 8 weekers or all 9 weekers. anyway looking great (as always) and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
oh one quick question if i may. i see your using additional cfl's are they the envirolites? i have one i use for my seedlings and was wondering if you fthink they make a good addition? if so i may buy a few more for next time to cover the areas that wouldnt get as much light. cheers mate and +rep!

damn sorry to double post but i think you will yeild great! if your like me you under estimate the weight of weed....... i look at a big pile and think its only a couple of ounce. then when i weigh it im like fuck me there's loads!!!! lol

Hey Dan

Ok so here we go.

Apparantly laser cutters cannot cut through metal due to reflections so i have made them out of plastic.

I cut the lettering out of the yellow piece of plastic and mounted the stencil style one onto a green piece of plastic.
Then stuck all the lettering onto green piece of plastic also i wasnt sure which one you would like the best. But it doesnt really matter as you can have them both anyways.lol

Do they pass your seal of approval???

Im hoping so ste...... Again im not sure what i'll get but i can tell ya that as i check im holding the stems of the big colas and giving it a wiggle and the weight of them is just awesome. I know its a wet weight and its yet to go through the dry but Im so looking forwads to the end weight. Also Im not harvesting untill they are absolutly ready. If it takes longer than 2 weeks then so be it. I have read and seen people who harvest early and im not one to make that mistake. ( got my microscope working overtime.

All my three strains are 9 weekers But it looks like i might be giving 11 week's as they are not showing much sign of slowing down or dying off. No leaves have yet turned yellow and the buds are seriously putting on weight. Over the last couple of days alone, the gerth has expanded on the colas 1cm. its amazing to see them bulk up finally....

Dan

Hey Dan

Glad you like the Door plates i made.

Just so you know that if you are giving your girls N here and there the chances of them going yellow are slim.
Other growers i have seen on here give their girls N and end up with a completely green looking plant at harvest time so dont rely on the leaves turning yellow.

Are you gonna use a flush additive when flushing the girls out????

JUst wondering because PLANT MAGIC have a new flush on the market.
This next bit is taken directly from Urban Garden Magazine Issue 17

PLANT MAGIC PLUS FLUSH
Plant magic plus flush has been designed specifically with the UK gardener in mind. Using flush you will see that your fruiting crop matures quicker but also removes excess nutrients from the plant sap to improve floavours and aromas from your fruiting crops.

This product works in 2 ways
1.a boost of hormones is given to the plant. This allows the plant to mature easily and quickly. In turn it uses up residues of excess nutrient within the plant sap.
2.The correct balance of salts is used to aid with the removal of salt residue and nutrient build up in the root zone. This will promote sugar production to give a sweeter, smoother tasting fruit.
No PH adjustment is necessary when using this product.
Visit www.plant-magic.co.uk for more information.

Check it out if you dont plan on using a flush maybe worth a look. Im contemplating getting some too.
