Still trying to get used to this new system of uploading pics...they don't upload in the order they were selected. Not a big deal.
Anyway, let us get down to business, shall we?
Chiesel.
Easily the most crystal-laden strain I've grown. I love the shit out of this strain and will do everything in my power to keep it going!
Sleestack Skunk...or as I like to call it, Sleeskunk. This girl is quite sensitive to nutrients, as evidence by her curled leaves
Little clone. Recently transplanted and liking her new medium of FF Light Warrior, BB Light Mix, Guano, Castings and Mycorrhizae...
OG18 Skunk. She was a little thirsty at the time of the pic. These small pots with big plants dry out very quickly...2 days is almost too long between waterings for some of them. Most annoying.
Two little ones from the not completed party cup comp. They should have been done by now, but my little light issue set them back.
Jack the Ripper clone.
OG Kush. She's been droopy like this her entire life. I thought transplanting would help, but it didn't. Just how she's going to be I suppose.
Trainwreck.
Lots of budsites...but I hate this plant.
Super Lemon Haze.
LSD with the funky calyxes.
Mutant calyxes!
Other LSD
Left to right: LSD, Chiesel, OG18 Skunk. I tried supercropping the LSD today and snapped the stem pretty good. We'll see how she comes through it.
Last, Power Kush. Like the OG18 Skunk, she gets really thirsty really quickly. I checked on her when the lights came on, and she was fine, but 10 hours later and its droop city. She took her water though and will be fine. This plant smells fucking amazing already...very kushy. I can't wait.

Looking real plump and delicious. Looks like most of em are already loading the frosting on the new growth. Way to rebound! Besides also having a timer issue I detected a major light leek in my cab, fixed now but yeah put me back a few days. Hopefully mine recover as nicely as yours.

It's tough caring for the multitude of plants, but it's a labor of love! I pretty much wake up an hour and a half early every day to care for the plants before I start my day...there's always SOMETHING to be done.
You're going to love the LSD...
A "major" leak? Yikes. At least you caught it.
TLD! Glad to see you back!I hate that plant too!

Nice work jerry looking good.
I got an idea for u what i done with one of my plants that i keep in a small pot. As dont have enough space to transplant in a bigger wider pot, i got a pot the same size and then placed the pot with the plant in on top. The roots have have gone through the gaps of the plant in the pot underneath. Just an idea if u got the height space to do it. It's worked well for me. I did cut some extra holes out of the pot to help the roots get through.
Keep up the good work mate

Evil, that is a fantastic idea! Seems like watering might be a challenge though, but I guess it all percolates down through the first pot and into the second.
Something I will consider for sure. I like growing in my larger white pots better than the little black ones because the plants get much larger and require less constant attention. But I can only fit 8 of them and even then it's tight. But maybe I'd get a better yield from 8 larger plants? I like having the freedom to grow a wide range of strains, but at the same time it would be nice to have a room full of Chiesel...

Here are a couple better shots of the Power Kush after it recovered from it's dry spell.

yeah jerry watering aint a problem at all it all runs through the bottom of the 2nd pot. I've done it before and its great if u aint got the space.
I was thinking of growing in lil pots all for my next grow i reckon i could get 20 plants in small pots easily under my 400watt hps instead of 6 full size ones. Then when the roots get to the bottom just put a pot of soil on top and could keep doing it when the roots get to the bottom of the next pot. Could even tape the the pots together to make it more stable if u got a tower of them lol. Be good to see the yield comparison between my current grow of six large plants compared to 20 smaller ones in loads of smaller pots stacked on top of each other. i got a month to harvest so i will consider it do some research and i might give it a go. But one good thing would be able to harvest loads of different strains at once up to 20 and if u can get an oz and a half a plant would be great.

That power kush looks tasty, looks like its gonna have some plump buds. glad to see the light situation is all good

Thanks farmer. The light situation now is all good, but I think the damage done may be more severe than I initially suspected (much like that stupid oil rig spewing 5,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico).
BTW, did you or anyone else see the new South Park the other day? My favorite character (and your avatar) made a return appearance and it was fantastic! I fucking love towelie!
There have been a few changes in things around here recently...it turns out the light issue severely messed with the 2 plants in party cups (OG18 Skunk and Power Kush) and they were shooting out bananas left and right. I they both should have been finished by now (over 10 weeks flower) but because of their light poisoning they got all sorts of messed up. I decided it wasn't worth it to keep them going, so they both got the chop yesterday. I'm not too sad, there is still some good buds from both.
Also, I got tired of dealing with overgrown trainwreck monster, so she got cut as well. The buds were so small however, I didn't feel like trimming it up or even using it for hash, so I put the entire plant (well, most of the plant, I didn't use the roots or anything) into a crockpot with the dregs from my HerbalAire vaporizer and am now making some killer butter! It's been simmering for about 20 hours now, and I think I'm going to strain it and put in the fridge. I made some similar butter for 4/20, and I got so high I couldn't sleep! I ate like 3 cookie bars over the course of the evening (and 1 before bed, which was probably the nail in the coffin) and was literally too high to sleep. My friends were telling me they were still high the next morning when they tried to go to work! So, it's kind of a waste, but not really. Turns out I really like edibles!
Otherwise, everyone seems OK. I got my 600w ballast and bulb ready to roll, just waiting on my lamp cord to arrive. Can't wait!
I'll try and get some pics tonight or tomorrow, but its friday, so I make no promises...

So things are moving along here. I transplanted the Super Lemon Haze and OG Kush into the large white pots and moved them into the flower room to begin their long and wonderful road to beautifulness. All vegging plants are now out of plastic cups and into real containers...I still have a Sleeskunk, OG18 Skunk, JTR, Chiesel, and LSD vegging.
The early returns are in on the OG18 and the Power Kush (I harvested the little party cup plants as the were both showing multiple signs of bananas) and I must say the Power Kush is delicious. It tastes like the stereotypical "kush," that is very sweet and smooth, leaving a nice aftertaste in your mouth. The OG18 Skunk tastes like poop. Ok, maybe poop is too strong a word, but it doesn't taste good. I can detect a hint of kush, and a lot of skunk when I smoke it, but when vaporizing it just tasted bad. I couldn't even smoke more than 2 hits from the bag! Now, in it's defense, it only started curing today, and it never really matured properly after the light issue. I'm pretty freaking high though.
Anyway, enough words. Most people will probably skip those anyway. Pics!
Super Lemon Haze. Started flowering yesterday. Shaping up to be a nice little bush! VERY excited for this girl.
OG Kush. The larger pot seems to have cured some of her drooping woes. I'm sure the castings and guano don't hurt much either.
Sleeskunk. I'm really bummed about messing this girl up, as she was poised to produce some nice colas. Alas, she is pushing out new growth and trying to beef up. This plant has a very unique and spectacular fruity taste.
Colas showing new growth
Next, the skinny LSD. Similar to the sleeskunk, not as thick as she should/would/could be...
Still, what buds are present are pretty nice.
Chiesel.
Starting to turn purple...and it hasn't been below 73 in the flower room for weeks!
Power Kush. Beautiful smoke, and looks like there's going to be lots of it!
OG18 Skunk. Not doing great, but not terrible.
Many small bud sites...just not as big as I hoped. It's early for this one though.
LSD...thicker than the other one.
Mutant frosty calyxes!

Thanks smokey and welcome!
So I finally installed my 600w HPS yesterday, and it was no simple task. My reflector and ballast weren't compatible (stupid P.L. Lights) so I had to order a lamp cord/socket. I couldn't easily remove the socket from the reflector to install the new one, so I had to use a little ingenuity, and a lot of duct tape. I happened to have two extra V-shaped reflector hangers (you know the ones) lying around that I turned into braces to hold the socket and bulb in place, secured with copious amounts gorilla tape (which, by the way, is the only duct tape I will ever use for the rest of time...it is simply the best).
So while ghetto, it is a 600w hps putting out 95,000 lumens (which now that I think about it is over double the lumen output I was getting from the 360w conversion bulb I had been using) so hopefully it will mean a higher yield and denser buds.
I have no images to share with you at the moment, but will try to take some later tonight when the lights come on.
I'm off to clone me some OG and SLH...even though I said I was going to stop after this crop...whatever...
I'm sorry if this all doesn't make much sense...I'm rambling...I just vaped a turkey bag of power kush and, well, I'm ripped.
