Not hard to torment us mate, the phenos the autoflower gods gift you are 2nd to none. It`s been a pleasure following along the last couple years.

don't they look like mini celery plants....?

They will be growing bark soon here, bloody tree trunks. ha :-P

Also will add for you, the lime green comes out with at least 14 degree difference in day/night temps (give or take a few).
A sure fire way to find out what plants have colours. Every summer i have to deal with stuff like this. 25 to 30 celcius durring the day and often single digits at night.




FD, so glad you are poping the ICU`s. I almost forgot to find you some baby icu pics. I have to have them, i got a laptop in between that grow so i have pics scattered between this and my PC. The pc is a stand alone not wired to the web anymore. So i`ll have to check that one too.

I can`t wait to see how they develope. They broke my purple cherry so they hold a special place in my heart. haha :weed:

I'd reccomend 20-24 inches on the 400

also FD n mossy: if light total might be a factor lets get some basic data together from everybody here what their flowering time is, their pot size, their light time on, and their lightttttttttttttttttttttt type and wattage... maybe we can figure this out mathematically or at least make an educated inference....

also... what about general root mass hitting a barrier (pot walls) you said your taps hadn't hit bottom but you were flowering right? had it hit side of the cups or pot yet? with the root mass?

Nope the male had no pooling on the sides or exposed roots
id say the first 1.5in of dirt was loose all away around.
no white roots till i cracked it open.

Wow endorium! lookin real nice m8!

FD: ok... so maybe roots have nothing to do with it at all?
Click to expand...
OR it could be that the actual size of the plant is determined at tap root bottom out?
Maybe the sexing has nothing to do with it at all and it IS based upon amount of light and time exposed.

Shit just hit me.......After looking at the male and seeing that he was starting to sex and show balls
but the roots were not at the bottom yet. They were abundant in the middle but not the outsides or the bottom.
I think that is why nealcook's plant is SO big in that 8 in pot. I think that as the roots go down as she grows taller
and then when the roots pool its time to stop the growth up and start really budding

we see the autos go through this transition each time. We see signs of sex, then on the week after sex the plant explodes
and doesn't stop till the main bud head forms. Then we see the signs of heavy budding/flower. The plant is no longer growing up
its filling in. Ive noticed that in a party cup the heads come fast after signs of sex, if its stunted usually with in a week u will see the head formation
With my first JEM and this ICU its been different. Its showed signs of sex but no where near ready for a head crown bud formation. Looks like ill get a few more nodes and stretching before she really starts to bud out.

The side branching is also a big difference by the time full flower sets in. If you have one that has the lower branches extended like my first JEM and the BB
these explode too in length at the time from sex to full on budding and none of my cup gals had branching at all. No room for roots to drop and set it.

had to drop a line to say a big thanks for the tip the other week to help my over pruned girl.
The 1/4 strength nutes every other day has certainly done the trick, as the pictures will testify
Click to expand...
Oh they certainly Do m8..she is glorious...looks like she could have an ICE out for Christmas.
Shame she has to come down early..
but..you know I prefer my girls early..and she doesn't look far off for my tastes.

A week before you need to take her down...Test-bud her...:bigjoint:

I haven't LST's AF's..
But..
I super-crop ALL my long season girls..and I swear by it.
Putting all your buds on a level like that gives Better quality/density/yield per bud.

BTW just tried to give you rep but need to 'spread it around' a bit first. I'll send you good karma instead

Cheers m8..karma is always appreciated..

Mossy, I tried the mango. It didn't have any ill effects, but did not seem to offer any extra medicinal interaction of benefit. But, I feel it may have had some viagra effect, I noticed it as well as my Lady.

Cheers m8..
information feed back on test like that really help...simple things that we can all participate in..
not everyone can be an activist..
But..
we can ALL do our bit.

Wish you had been there for the peace and quiet...?....:-P

This Train wreck is fantastic in the AM

I've always fancied the Train Wreck since I first saw her.
What is she like on meds..?

I think i'll give it a go with my shortriders. I'm going to plant a couple so i think i'll LST one and compare them both.
One good thing about her coming down early is i should have some nice smoke for the boxing day test match.
You can't beat a nice lump of bud and a game that lasts for 5 days!!:leaf:

I have a stubborn snowryder that has fought through LST and is still stretching upwards. what do you guys think about intentionally heat stressing her to get her stubborn bitch ass to settle down on a height? I still have my old CFL rubbermaid setup, so I think if I throw one of my 150w HPS' in there for a day it'll cook around 93-96*. If I sustain that for 12-18 hours you think it will be enough to stunt her vertical growth?
