High elevation does wonders for certain strains. 3000+ is where its at.
its hard to take pics when I only visit my girls at night. Need to get some shots during the day. Can't wait to have a little harvest right at the beginning of summer. Now that's gonna be nice!!
Kkday, fuckin sick Yoti!!! You do straight front axel swaps on those 90's Toyota with the IFS?

Aloha I need to trim some of my plants they are getting huge but I will have about 20 clones that I don't need and I would hate to see them go to the compost pile anyone want them there are a few different strains all are a great smoke. I mostly do indoors but most can go outside to. these will be small from the bottom of my girls going to the flower room but i have always had an easy time cloning all of them.
strains are-
noahs ark- mine i crossed cali orange w/ skunk i had makes a killer tight bud
skunk 1 from nirvana
thai skunk from attitude
hawaiian skunk from attitude
pics follow strains these are not the ones I'm cutting they are flowering pics instead sorry I don't have a pic of the Hawaiian skunk yet.
Pm me and ill cut what you need

New grower and learning more everyday. The pics are from my G13 seeds. Topped one to check out the results. Should I top the other two, they are 14" tall? Another thing, when should I change the light to flower so that I can sex them?

aloha!!
no need sex em, i can tell you right now the two on the outside are males and the inside one is female
hehehehe nah im jokin, of course im unsure but i have a good feeling about it
topping would be good if you were going to continue to veg them, other options are LST/Supercropping.
You switch to flower depending on how big your plants are and how strong your light is, if you have a weak light then you should switch to 12/12 earlier than a 1000w HPS
p.s. those plants look very happy, great job!

just wanted to bump the thread and ramble....sativas tend to do that but anyways I was having problems with burning some seedlings under floro lights and I was thinking this cannot be?! but then I figured ouy what I was doing wrong.....what I was doing was watering the seedlings with lights on and I was letting droplets form on the leaves and not shaking the droplets off.....so the droplets was actuallly magnifying the intensity of the lights!! something I should have known.....but anyways my seedlings are doing fine and I hope to have such a big harvest, that I might need help with the harvest!! LOL... requirements for job include being physically fit to hike mountains and not have carpal tunnel syndrome....LOL such a beautiful day in Hawai'i Nei JAh...

Ya really dont need to change the light.
After a month or so a seedling will show signs of sex even in 24hr light. If your in a hurry you can do it after a foot or so of growth. If you want you can take the cuttings and put them in a rooting medium and under 12 hours after about a week and a half you will see the sex. If you kept track of whats whats you will have bigger parents you can flower and now you know the sex. Just toss all the males and keep the clones in 12hr they will be small but will finish a few weeks before the parents and now you kinda have a guide as to when to harvest.
Now you can decide if you want to let the bigger ones go another week or two longer (and you will everyone harvests to early when they are startiong out) Sorry im rambling hope this helps

I just started a compost tea brew, here is the mix:
1 cup EarthWorm Castings
4 TBS Unsulphered Black Strap Molasses
1/2 cup High N Mexican Bat Guano
4 tbs seaweed extract(for trace minerals)
I dissolve chlorine out of the water by aerating it for 1 hour before adding ingredients
I will let this steep 1-2 days depending on how I feel
this is a compost tea which is different than other teas like nutrient teas,
quote by RiverRat:
"Compost teas contain few nutrients, but are teeming with microbes, fungi, bacteria, etc. And are used to "feed the soil" and the micro-critters in the soil. These micro-critters break down nutrients and make them more available to the plants."
quote by Von:
=======================================================================
What is a Compost Tea?
A Compost tea is an aerobically-brewed liquid extract made from quality microbial foods. When a tea is brewed correctly, it contains only beneficial organisms and nutrients that are essential for the soil and plants well being. Since MJ is normally a nutrient hog this is one of the most effective delivery systems available to us. It can be applied in several ways. I will address this later in the article.
Benefits of using an aerobically brewed tea are:
1. It improves soil structure.
2. It helps aid in retention of nutrients.
3. Aids in the cycling of nutrients into available forms.
4. Reduces plant stress due to environmental conditions.
5. Disease organisms are displaced by the good organisms contained in the
tea.
6. Has the ability to break down compacted soils with repeated uses.
7. Prevents anaerobic (bad bacteria) organisms from gaining a foot hold in
your soil.
8. Compost tea replaces micro-biology back into the soil that we have
removed because of our over-development and chemical applied
nutrient and herbicides.
9. When applied as a foliar spray it covers the plant surfaces and prevents
harmful material from reaching the plant, including disease organisms. It
will increase the time the stoma are open and allow foliar nutrients to
be absorbed into the leaves.
10. When applied to the soil, it will improve the soil structure, increase
nutrient uptake, break down pollutants and reduces water use.
What is needed to make a Compost Tea?
Compost tea is made with different ingredients, depending on your brewing method and ingredients available to you. Minerals, food sources, and humic acids are added to sustain the growing population of micro-organisms.
A quick over view of the materials:
Seaweed- Supplies all the extra trace elements. Seaweed can contain up to 70 trace elements and lots of growth hormones. Seaweed is a beneficial fungal food source for soil microbes. I prefer to use liquid seaweed.
Compost- this supplies most of the beneficial aerobic organisms (the good guys) and soluble nutrients. Worm castings are your best bet here. Guanos and manures fall into this category. You can either use them separate or together.
Unsulphered Molasses- this feeds and breeds the aerobic bacteria. Sugar products are mostly carbon which is what the micro-herd consume quickly. To extend the life of your tea, add a little more molasses. Besides feeding the micro-herd, molasses supplies a good amount of minerals also. Sulfur being one of them which acts as a natural fungicide. Molasses is also a natural deodorizer for your tea. For a more fungal tea add less molasses to your aerobic tea. You can use more complex sugars, starches and carbohydrates like seaweed, rotten fruit, soy sauce or other fungal foods. Molasses substitutes are brown sugar and corn syrup.
Alfalfa meal, corn meal, cattle food, horse feed and fish feed- these will supply extra proteins and bacteria. Corn meal is a natural fungicide and supplies food for the beneficial fungi in the soil.
Good old garden soil is an excellent free bio-stimulant- Garden soils are full of beneficial aerobic bacteria, fungi and other great microbes. An even better one would be Forest soil, sometimes known as Forest humus.
You can expect different microbial population levels in your tea based on weather, climate, temperature, seasons, etc. In the summertime you can expect your teas to brew faster and get to your optimal microbial levels faster than in cooler fall weather. Also tea odors, color, and foaminess on top of the tea, will vary based on temperatures too.

I "try" to grow 100% organic because I am growing medicinally and I want the cleanest product for whomever consumes it, if you are going to grow organic I highly urge folks to go 100% organic; otherwise the benefits that organic gardening provides may be having no positive affect because the0 salt chemicals mostly kill off the good guys in your soil
