Last Girls of '12

We are coming close to the end of the yearly growing cycle, and I thought I would post my last girls of 2012. These babies will be ready right around Chanukah and Christmas. These are also the biggest I have let my indoor girls get this year, and I am very proud of them The cold nights have brought out some beautiful colors in the NY Diesel! The girls are: NYC Diesel, Sour Diesel, Chernobyl, Royal Kush, and DICE.
this is the NYC diesel... trained heavily with around 18 tops

Looking good, Dice.

Thanks tet.... I'd love to see how you all are ending out this year!

Looking good?

Here are some updated pics... things are finally looking the way I want them too... The swell is in full effect on my 3 plants that started 2 weeks or so ahead of the other 6, and they look just yummy. I have started using a space heater during lights off to prevent the temp from dropping below 55 so consistently. One regret I do have is not trimming more extensively.... It is still hard for me to do predictive trimming in order to prevent the larf, but these plants are also much larger than I usually grow (any tips on that are greatly appreciated!)

looks good man...happy garden for sure.

Thanks Bud..... how do you determine what gets the cut before flowering... I mean even with all that undergrowth I still took 45 clones before the switch... (experimenting... I dont need that many) I am hesitant to "over trim" if such a thing exists, and I know you have your dial tuned to the right station

Some guys trim up the plant and some dont. It seems like a trend now to really strip the plant of all undergrowth and build a nice canopy above. I dont go that far, I still leave some lower nugs...mainly because I love hash so much. I know guys that use tomato cages, and trim up to a certain ring. I stop trimming anything at 3 weeks in flower. I will do a little trim job right at the flip, then one at 3 weeks and its find enough for me.

Bored so I will post an update...

Some pics of the room... in the very center is the NYC diesel in its 9th week on the right side wall are 2 DICE plants 7 weeks into flowering, and all around them are sour diesel, chernobyl, and royal kush in their 5th weeks of flowering.

5 weeks:

7 weeks:

Im trying to replicate Uncle Buck's Main-Lining.. to a degree of success hahaha... I keep breaking a side off, but I think I have solved that problem by using Bamboo rods to "crucify" the plants with. I have also started fresh with 2- headed clones (this one is Sour Diesel).


And corny or not... I love it (and hate it sometimes) how cats just beg and plead for leaves...


sorry about the long post.. but I've been a little sick and bed ridden lately so this is my only outlet...

I want to wish everyone a Happy Channukah and a Merry Christmas... If you are fortunate enough to have loved ones and friends... tell them how much you appreciate them, and I wish you all a stress free holiday season!

Looks good.

I am getting a lot of color this time around.

This black widow plant is crazy dark. Some leaves are almost black. It was all green last time I grew it and kept the temp above 70.

I have noticed that about some strains that are supposed to have color. At higher temps/humidity it doesn't seem to happen as much. I had some strawberry diesel for example. The pics at Attitude showed it very purple. And, no, I don't really depend on those pics but have found them to be representative most of the time. Anyway, as we went into fall and winter last year and I continued with it a couple more crops it got very purple in the cooler temps. I have also had plants get dark and purple as I put them in dark for a couple days before chop.

probably 10 days from harvest:




Shout out to Uncle Buck ... trying to get the hang of his Mainlining technique:
