It's just the pic that show's it yellowish, both photo's where taken at the same time (dam camera)! Thanks for the comp's bro! It's a hardy strain so far. I got the non-fem seeds from Nirvana and both turned out fem, they started to show sex with out any light change (thank god)! The "yellow' looking one kinda gave me trouble in the beginning. The seed's ranged in size and color big time. The "yellow" one was a VERY small white seed and the other was a NICE fat dark seed. I'm running 24/0 with lighting.
I'll post some more as she starts budding and right before cutting. Next week I'm going to start the flowering.

The soil is Fox farms Happy Frog and the nutes are Earth juice "grow," and soon "bloom". I'm running 3, 68watt CFL'S rated at 300watts at 2,700k and I'm running 1 56watt CFL rated at 200watts at 6,500k. I was running 2 more 56watts 6,500K bulbs but I cut down on those because their being used on the clones right now. I'm doing soil clones and it's been 9 days and none have died. The temps are at 75 to 72 degs through out the day and night. They have been low stressed trained and I continue to tie them down but the main cola is set in it's way now to where it's growing where it wants to.
The info off these two plants I can share as of now is there is NO weed smell what so ever while in veg they are very short even if LST wasn't used. Their about a foot and a few inches tall if I allowed them to grow vertically . The smell you'll smell is a earthy plant smell basically if you where to take fresh leaf off a tree when it's green and rub it between your fingers.
If your a first time grower or looking for a low maintenance hearty plant this is one you should look into!
The soil I got must have been a bad batch or just contaminated before I got it. I've found now a lady bug crawling in my soil and a huge black beetle. You can see some of the leafs cut because that f-ing lady bug got hungry. Nothing bad at all though!
DSB65 & kingofqueen thanks for the comp's! Happy growing!

Ladybugs are natural predators of spider mites and some other nasty creatures that could destroy your plants. If lady bug want to stay - let it for it'll do nothing but good 
I'm gonna start aurora indica after my current grow. Nice plants. Good job. I love LST. Subscribed.

From this website you provided: ' The exotic Asian lady beetle has had a positive impact in many states because of the beetle's effectiveness in controlling aphids on pecan trees, pine trees, ornamental shrubs, cotton, wheat, tobacco, roses, etc.'
So their not so bad
ALso: ' The Asian lady beetle does not bite, sting, carry human diseases or feed on wood, clothing or food; they also do not reproduce indoors. In spite of annoying populations, these insects are considered beneficial to agriculture and garden landscapes because they feed on harmful aphids and some scale insects associated with trees, shrubs, bushes, low growing ornamentals, roses, wheat, cotton, tobacco, pecans and other crops.'
How did this thing bite you again?

If your girls start smelling too much, used 100 of these lady bugs instead of a carbon filter, it most likely would keep the cops well away lol

But yet again they dont bite.......your links to asian lady bugs biting also led to this.
When Asian lady beetles land on your skin to explore for moisture or food, you may experience what feels like a bite. Most Asian lady beetles do not bite. However, they do have spurs on the back of their legs that can cause a poking, pricking sensation as they scout for a meal. There is no known toxin or disease associated with this activity, but you may encounter some swelling or minor pain if you are particularly sensitive.
The ladybugs you see around in the usa arent usually ladybugs. they are asian lady beetles. they were brought here for farmers decades ago, and spread wildly. these are actually what you DO want in your garden. ESPECIALLY indoors.....they dont breed indoors. If you vaccuum them up with a clean vaccuum bag and put them in the fridge after each harvest, you can keep using them. just take the sealed bag out of the fridge, open it and put in in your grow room. they will wake up and eat your pests.
plus rep. great topic.

lol. please do keep them.dont know how long you can store them for. i have some in the fridge from a friend, dont need them but never hurts to have a fall back. if i got mite or something i can just run to the kitchen. lol
subbed for the AI too. I did some AI fem autos, and i got autos but all males. Nirv sent me replacements, and i got 80% males. i tried all the autos from nirv before this btw. then they sent me some non-auto fem AI. these were all fem and were super sticky. LMAO i had a bunch of popcorn buds stuck to my pant leg after trimming.

That's some good shit! LOL, never heard that before.
I just picked 2 seeds out of the 10 just to see how they grew. The white seed (the one on the left in the photo) was a prick when it came to popping out of the soil. It came out but then started to do a "u turn" back into the ground. It didn't have the shell casing on it. So I think it was just retarded at first. It is also the smallest when it compared to the other. It's more stick then nodes. But the other one his shit growing everywhere! How much did you pull of your A.I?
