Yeah today is the first day I haven't had to raise the light chains. I wish my camera were good enough to show the trichs on the top most bud. Super sugary, the twenty first will be day 28 of flower though this is just a reference point. I'll go as long as they take. how yours doin mate?

Cool sugary is a nice thing to see had some white widows like that couple of years ago. Doing good over here I have a rubbermaid tub with two net pots in the top then I made a large drip ring for the two and and it's working well. The roots are fully immersed into the res now at 1.5 months the barney's though is one tight tight noded little beastie.esp compared to the pineapple express which smells all ready - both LST'd though no screen yet but the PE is really wide and filling nicely the Cheese is a stout mofo. Western winds is set outdoors with five distinct tops and I am going to leave it like that i spread them out tied off and now for four more months it will grow in full flower. I plan to dig a hole for the container just to keep it on the down low ; they can grow big in 5.5 months.

Yeah just waiting on that explosion of bud growth now. I've always heard good things about Barneys Farm, Tangerine dream would be the first thing I wanna purchase from them.
Yeah, cheese is defly stout. Base of the stem is 2.5 inches around and shes only roughly two foot tall haha. What time do you plan on harvesting outdoors? around november right?

Drinking almost a gallon a day now. bumping to 1500 ppm next res change. starting to stink and even have a handful of pistils changing color. Pic seven is my fav haha.

Moving next Saturday, got four months to build the new grow room and get it dialed in. Gonna start growing a mother or two out when this one is finished.

So apparently this is a 9 to 12 week strain. Dunno why I thought it was eight weeks. Can already tell I'll be going the full twelve so this should be some bad ass Christmas weed.

Yes their starting to smell but you only notice it as you walk in but not overpowering yet, if they do flower for another 8 weeks i should get some nice buds hopefully :)

And there you go, I post something about smell and what happens? I get a notice on the door saying they will be entering my apt tomorrow. GREAT. Thankfully after casually questioning the office person it seems this is a city thing so they can check smoke alarms, breaker boxes etc. Made sure she wasn't lying cuz at least one door on every building has the same notice I got. Good news is I'm off tomorrow and can just close the door, move all of my moving boxes in front of it plus I'm sure theyll be quick once they see an 85lb pitt haha.

might want to leave a quarter pound of Stilton out on the kitchen table to warm up and lend some atmosphere and the what have you. Maybe have the Monty Python Cheese Shop routine playing on an endless loop too and a baby crying in the background. repeatedly.

Hahaha, yeah no sh*t lol. I figure underpaid overworked city employees won't be to thorough or snoopy especially when the tenant is there looking none to happy. Slightly nerve wracking but nothing I can't handle just gotta remember to hide the bong as well lol

You ever make hash? Buying some bubble bags.

yeah but i use the ice method freezing the trim then blenderizing it with ice some water, let it settle 24 hours or so then drain water let dry get fucked right up. basically thats it. Say question, re hydro veg to flower. Mine are 1.7 month veg now and there are distinct bud sites, but how many sets of leaves per brsnch do you think I need to flip to flower? The Pineapple Express is about two feet wide and a good foot tall one main cola about 7 really good branches, the barney buddha cheese is one chunky cola and maybe six mini colas with ..dunno two or thee leave sets or nodes. What do think, good enough to go? In soil I just grew it to two or three feet and the went for it. this hydro is a new animal for me. I sure love sitting down in there though.

Honestly, I have never gone by how many leaf sets. When I had my hps I usually flipped around two to three foot like you but topped and lst when I was about a foot away from flipping. But it sounds like your ready to flip as long as they are green and healthy. What do your roots look like? That's the main thing for me a good healthy root system big enough to support feeding all the coming bud siItes.

I actually bought a 15 dollar blender last night just so I could try the same method you just told me haha. Gonna try that and then per my usual obsessive self going to get the bubble bags, couple gallons of RO water (to minimize pollutants from the city water, frigging 150ppm) been wanting to make some of that blonde hash that my friends drool over so much.

my roots those I am proud of they are two feet long white and full. When I was having issues with the hydroton not being clean enough I panicked because I had these seeds cracking, so I made an areo of sorts out of a large plastic storage tub. I cut two hole diagonally apart on the top cover. Then I put a nice pump in the bottom sent up some 3/4 inch tubing through the top and a t fitting. then I took a 3 foot piece of tubing (clear and flexible) cut holes in it with a knife all along it and wrapped it around the two 6 inch net pots letting water flow around the side draining in and down into the net pots and res. viola a homemade water farm for two! had to hand water for a bit to get it going but now this thing is a rocking. I am guilty of playing fast and loose with nutrients though very conservative at first but now I'm throwing a half cup to three gallonsh20 ( boost) and 1/8 cup bloom, a pinch of composted salmon and wait to see if I need to panic or not lol. That was last nights feed and man they took off, so yeah got to pick up another light for the seedlings I started earlier this month and boom goes the light switch.

Yeah that hash method is good just siphon off the water after it settles and let the rest evaporate, when it gets dense to a thick muddy consistency some like to put it on paper towels to drain it out I like the slow method of time and waiting less trich loss. My choc thai hash killed all who dared lol. Should have pics up this weekend. thanks for the answer I really appreciate that sorry to hijack the thread.

Dude, thats actually a pretty cool design might have to steal that. Composted salmon in hydro? did not know you could do that. defly gonna look into that.
Psh, your not thread jacking at all good sir and its not like I was much help. What kind of root nutrients do you use? Idk if its just the way the Voodoo Juice works or what but I had puny roots while using it and then bam a week after I took it away I've got this giant root ball thick as my pinky and super white. note that they were puny roots during veg before beginning to use Voodoo so idk gotta be A.N
Mmmm choc hash hell yea.

Picked up a UVB bulb today finally. See what happens

Week 4 of flower: Getting nice and stinky in there. Roots are blowing up magnificently, cant wait to see the root ball in the pot come harvest. Drinking a gallon of water a friggin day now which is more than all three of my last plants combined :) Also Finally went and bought a reptisun 5.0 UVB bulb today, Set to come on from 11 am to 2 pm everyday got it clipped to edge of water farm and pushed up an inch or two from the buds. going to rotate it around the pot every two days so everyone gets some UV in there life.
