Ok so i'll be posting pics within the next couple of days nothing too new to report on. I
really need to get a ph meter. I think I'll just get a little shitty green one with the
prongs. a buddy of mine had one and he said it did the job.

So My babies are at 13.5 to 14.5 inches right now. I keep saying I want to hold off for a better yield but I'm really having trouble deciding how much taller they're gonna get. I've done some reading and its supposed to peak around 80cm. Thats about the average that all the seed banks say. So I think I might flower next week. (I just got goose bumps)

Also anyone hear about the new Camel cigarette coming out or is already out? They're
called Camel Crush
A regular cigarette that also doubles as a menthol when you squeeze the filter.
Pretty cool stuff. Ground breaking. They don't put the mental flavoring in the tobacco
just the filter.

Ok so its been a few days since I last posted. Plants are looking wonderful now. I finally got one of those green ph meters that also read moisture in the soil. Found out that I wasn't watering enough. So I upped the amount of water from 500ml to 750ml seems to be doing the job. Also I was being a total noob about this, I was only feeding my plants once a week. Now its every other watering.

I desided to stick to my original plan about waiting another 2 weeks before flowering. My father always said, "Have a plan and stick to it." so thats what I'm going to do. A month and a half veg and around 8 weeks flower. I'm going to be getting a Can Fan in about a week so that'll drop the temp a couple degrees.

I'll post more pics tomorrow.

THEY'RE FRIGGIN HUDGE!!!

Hurray!!!! I have internet again!!! MY roommate didn't pay the bill so it got cut off. Then my camera broke and I lost most of my pictures. I have had a troublesome couple of weeks. But on the brighter side my plants look absolutely amazing. The lights are off right now so pics will be soon. They're gonna be from my phone so hopefully the quality won't be too shitty. If not I'll borrow my buddys MacBook.

I started flowering almost 2 weeks ago, 13 days. I know I'm supposed to be trimming them. But I wasn't really sure how. So I started to take off some fan leaves that where in the way of a couple of branches. I only remove 3, at most, a week. Usually just 2. It looks like its helped but Give me your opinion when you see them.

I'm really proud of these considering they're my first grow. Well..... second. The first time I had one in a very small pot, some half assed nutes that I bought at an orchid depot, and I was using the incandescent light bulb that lights up the stove. Just a very sad story of a plant that started only having a single leaf. Not even 2 or 3 or even 4. Just a single 1. Then it died.....:cry: But that's ok. See I messed up so bad the first time that I decided I had to do so much reading, I could fill a small library, before I could try it a second. Let me know if its paid off at all....... When I post the pictures.......I'm high........:blsmoke:

Hey for an almost first grow, this looks amazing! +rep for doing a good job, and doing some research. All it takes is giving them what they want, and you seem to be doing a great job of that. lol it must be nice to be able to go get clones when you want. I had to personally get seeds from canada. Plants look super healthy.

Thanks. Yeah the first one was a complete disaster and really got me down for a while. But my grandfather always told me that disappointment comes with learning. To be a good learner you have to accept the inevitable.

I don't know if anyone else does this but I talk to them. Daily. I'm always telling them how beautiful they are and awesome, stuff like that. I was doing some reading and apparently they do respond in some ways. Its almost like a second kind of feeding or something. Like I said I don't know if it actually works but they are living and just like a dog they do respond to positive energy. Anyone who looks at this thread give it a shot and see if anything happens.

I was also wondering if anyone could give me tips on pruning. There is a lot of foliage and it seems like most of it is unnecessary. I could be wrong. Anyways let me know.

Wow just looked at my last quote. No ones got a lot to say on that huh? oh well better luck next time. Well I'm gonna take some more photos later today after I get high. I love my new vaporizer. I also love the budding on my plants. From the looks of things right now I'll get about an ounce off of each plant so very close to 3 ounces more or less. Hopefully more!! I wish I had a better camera than my shitty webcam.

So more pics Later 2day.

i'd say for the most part you don't want to prune, even when they're getting yellow during flower. from everything i've read up on and heard about the plants use the yellow fan leaves and take back a lot of the nutrients as they start to die off. however i pick off yellow fan leaves once they start to get droopy or if they're covering a budsite or whatnot.

i forget how far along you are but i wish i had 'lollipopped' some of my ladies a bit more. light doesn't really get more than a foot and a half down my plants with my 400w hps and so the bottom branches/buds i'm getting are tiny and probably the energy the plant is spending on them would have been better put to use if i had just snipped it. first time and i couldn't bare to cut my ladies up though, so hah i'm stuck with little popcorn bud at the bottom. hope that helps just my opinion and i'm still a few weeks from harvest.
