btw...the two pics of the cola...one with flash one without flash...look how red those hairs are!

Hello Honkytown. nice looking set-up.
A couple of questions if you don't mind, How long did you veg those girls for? & What light schedule should I be using for my clones? They need a dark period to encourage the root growth right?

the two larger girls were vegged for two months under a 150 watt hps and eight four foot flouros this is how big they were a week before throwing them into flowering. as far as clones go I am giving mine 24/0 light...but the container I have them in a taped up so no light gets to the roots. you just need the roots to be in darkness. also when you get the clones going trim half of all of the leaves off to prevent transpiration....I also have mine about 2 feet from my 150 watter to keep temps warm and a also am spraying them with a water bottle every time I see them starting to dry out.

here are the right before flowering pics

I like purple heads....mmm mmm .love em....are you tryin to say they look purple? I think they may....you know whats veird.....since I have had the 600 on them they have started growing again...like lots and lots of white hairs...may make for an interesting harvest. I will get some pics of them up here in a few....and they are coming up on the end of week 8 in flower now....like 2 or 3 days.

Sorry for all the questions. Last one I promise. Well, for now anyway.
What sort of yield do you expect/hope from those girls after drying. 3 to 5 oz maybe?
I am just trying to work out my vegging times etc plus I need to keep them under 5ft (after flowering) and that may even be a bit close to the light 4ft would be better.

word b mad....my 600 is 10 inches from my colas...just have to vent well. realize...I am venting straight from my central ac out here. you can see in my pics so it even cools my light to the 74 to 76 that I keep my house at. As far as plant size goes...well I added a tape measure to a pic of my big girl so you have some perspective. buds from these plant I imagine should yeild about 2 to 2 1/2 oz's from each...the buds are really really rock hard and as you guys can all see are growing lots of new white hairs all over the damn place. here are the pics

any other questions feel free to shoot em my way

God i love the way buds look ripening on the vine

Its a kick ass feeling knowing you've done something that the other 99% of the world is clueless as how to go about it.

I agree. 99 percent of the world...I love that. You know the funny thing I find is....if you really care about your plants and are willing to read...you can do pretty well. now I just need to get myself in that .07 percent that is doing perpetual harvest.

thx for stopping in Panhead

No, just trying to make a really lame joke. I like colors.

**honkeytown** · 07-08-2008, 07:17 PM

I am a fan of colors as well...especially in my pot...

So the update is....pretty good. I am thinking one of my girls is gonna be cut in a day or two or htree...I am just trying to hold out as long as possible cause she still seems to be growing under the 600 but she also seems to be dying off now. so....the other big girl looks like she may have a little sat. in her cause she seems to be booming all of a sudden like the last sativa I grew...she is doing it a little sooner though... numbers 1-4 are doing well also. number 3 has done some weird shit since I topped it. it seems like it split but also kept it's main stalk...take a look compared to number four that has only two branches...it's interesting. The connies are doing well...the two in soil are on their second set of leaves and the seeds germming still havent popped for me...well all but one..which barely popped...showed the tip of the taproot and has stayed that way for a day. I am gonna plant it tonight regardless of how it looks when I peek at them in a bit..but here is the update for today. Oh I also found out I live a mile or so away from a hydro store...duh...well...should be able to get some better buds now...hooray! enjoy the pics and lemme know what you think
