LOOKING REALLY GREAT LR!!! i hear good ship re the skywalker, ill do a run or two one of these days. meanwhile ill do it through you :)
i like the way you set up the support trellis. at what heighth do you set the final? you said they finush stretch at 5 to 6 feet. i would guess 55" or so, or do you let stretch finish n set accordingly?

Thanks!

Good guess... 62" from the floor... FYI: If you use those zip tie mounts as anchor points for your trellis, be sure to screw them in. They have adhesive on the back, but it did not hold up. It's a bitch to drill em in after you're rolling. I second guessed that one a couple times, but opted to run without.

This particular batch of OG was stretchy -- even for OG -- these girls were born in a tough neighborhood. I adopted them as teens. They had some issues that needed to be sorted out before I could move to flower. This batch will be super tall. These girls will require some severe bending and training along the way.

While I have not grown this strain of SkyWalker OG before, I know the genetics, and it is some of the best OG I have tried. I really can't decide which I like best between the two; Pornstar or SW.

The stuff supposedly SkyWalker in the Dual Tent runs--was something else. A nice plant to grow, and pleasant smoke... but not even OG.

Remember those flowered cuts we were both messing with... I wanted to show you how mine are growing now:

These plants were started from cuts that were taken from plant material 2 weeks into flower. It takes a little more time, but flowered cuts can be made to work.


Nothing like free light!


Can you believe this is just a 5 gallon pot? This lady is about 2 weeks from harvest.

Lions Roor, man those monster cropped girls look sweeeeet!! mone are ok but nothing close to yours. my experience factor kicked in n caused some problems. i put them out too early n they stayed flowering forever just not comitted as the days were getting longer. next yr ill add suplimentl light till the soltice n avoid that. also had a water problem, as in i missed watering when it got the hotest around here, when i got to them they were in sad shape. im embarised to say but i just missed killing them. they have greened back up n grown a bit but have never gotten the veg thing back. still single freaky leaves altho its growing good now n starting to go into true flower. ill get a few pics later when they look more lady like. looking at yours ill def do that again just have more knolidge n care the next go round. i love growing... so much to learn... peace...

I will figure out a way to get some pics on here but Im nervous about the pics showing the address where you took the pic at. On riu when you do some code or clicking on the pic it will show the address and time, I seen that on the news and some ppl saying shit about that aroud here riu. Especially on Iphones blackberry because they have GPS on there phones and shit.

No doubt! You can never be too safe.

Here is some food for thought... From a security perspective, I am not concerned that RIU is going to resolve my IP address to my home address and come rip me off or something. I would like to know what you have seen in regards to them posting your IP address for other users to get at? That would be be careless of them. Please send me links to what you have seen on this topic of images and sensitive meta data. This is interesting. I hope they are respecting our privacy. From a legal standpoint, I never post anything illegal. I grow in a medical state and comply with all laws,ordinances, etc.

If I was concerned (I am, but too frickin late now!) I would use the following method of posting.

  • Take the pics with a digital camera - be sure you have not accidentally included any sensitive meta data such as your name, etc!
  • Start your RIU account with a free, unassociated email address (gmail, etc)
  • Upload your pics from a public internet wifi spot (go to a coffee shop with your laptop, or anywhere you can hop on the web)
If you take these steps - it is impossible for RIU to pass on any of your sensitive info - as you have not given them any!

Again, I'd love to see what you read in regards to the RIU images containing personal info.

Cool bro thanks for the tip thats some good shit. I try not to fuck around with technology shit that I dont know about Im in a legal state now but im in the process of getting my perment to grow I have Chronic neck and upper back pain. IDK anything about ppl talking about IP address on here I was refering to the Iphones and blackberrys when you take a pic with those phones it can show on that pic where you took the pic at I seen that on the news and just a couple of dudes was talking about that on riu no thread or anything/. Blackberrys and Iphone showing your info on pics (Cool Thread), they said its popular on facebook cuz you know how facebook is with taking and posting pics all day. Well your shit is awesome and im gonna def try to get some pics the way you talkng about cuz my shit is going to be just like yours but Al b fuct style, keep up the good work.

All good, thanks. Glad to hear you have monsters for pets!

Yeah - the humidity has been 80+% here in the mornings, much of the day, and the late evenings. I was starting to get some bud rot from the conditions. I took them down under my back patio while I chop over then next few days. It's a little immature, but it's super frosty, and quite clean and healthy for outdoor--and most important--it didn't get ripped off! I'm pretty sure I have some 1/2 pound plus plants here. The two diesel plants have just now set their structure... If we were indoor, I'd be 4 weeks out tops, but outdoor, I am probably closer to 6 - 8 weeks to go. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish these out with such a long growing season - with the moisture, the pests, and the thieves.

I'll see ya at your journal. I'm wondering if you have some pics for me...

Talk soon.

not getting ripped of is a plus lmao,im luckey i guess. ive got two mean ass dogs that people would be crazy to go over the fence with. plus ive got 6'6'' fences setting on top of concrete stem walls around the whole property, well garage door back.
my diesel are ahead of the GDP so far. i proly got 6-8weeks too. im building a plastic lean to against the fence this w/e. little heat n protection from the fog, hope it helps.i just showed a bit of pm on one outside plant, sprayed them all as a preventive, seems to be good so far. know how it jumps on your ass with a vengence tho, dillagence my man...

kinda embaresed to post pics of the outside plants, they dont show the love, more like the neglect i gave them lol. maby later in the game :) peace bro

That is some impressive growing ! I dream of having a dedicated room to growing some day.

I notice that you have some huge plants outdoors. Right now I am Vegging inside & flowering in a greenhouse

I have a question if you wouldn't mind, I have some OG's & Purple trainwreck that are mostly indica. They are in 5 Gallons, I was wondering how long (or tall) should I veg them for if I want 5-6' Beauties ?
My tallest one is currently around 23"

Thanks & keep up the great work
Looks like your gonna be Stoned4Months soon enough haha:eyesmoke:

Thanks, Stoned!

You have a nice setup; starting indoors and finishing in a greenhouse is ideal! There are many variables when finding your perfect flip time from veg to flower. In general, OG will stretch 3-4 times her size - especially if you give her a reason to (crowded, low light). 18" will typically produce approx 54" - 60" plant indoors under good light. Various cuts of OG have different traits which also affect growth rates in flower. Pruning strategies during veg, will also affect flower growth rates. I would say, start at 18" and dial it in on subsequent runs. Your 23 incher will certainly be a 5 - 6 foot plant. I can't speak for your Shipwreck - but most purple train is more like Trainwreck than the purple side of the family. Train will usually stretch 2 - 3 times her flip height, but Trainwreck has lots of variation and I can't say for sure... I would start with 18 - 24 inches on the Train. If your PT does lean to the purple side, she will likely stretch less.

Let us know how it grows!
