Alright, so here are some actual new pictures after the transplant. i was really considering doing LST. but i think it may be a bit late. can anyone tell me? the stock is really strong now that i buried it so the nodes are way below the soil. Looking forwards to some comments.

Did you see that Video of Strain Hunters i posted for you?

So i did a bit of research, and found out aht Blood Meal is all Nitrogen, Perfect for vegetative. then Bone meal is all P (phosporus) and Potash is all K( Potassium). Now what mixture of those i need to do some more research. but i was told to start out with quarter strenght of nitrogen then feed twice with water then 50% then twice water then 100%.

I would think the same would go for the P and K. 25% strength, then do 2 feedings of just water, then 50% then 2 feedings of just water, then 100%. I also bought my Flowering Lights today, however as the plant gets bigger i am going to buy 2 more.

I have a huge smile today, i looked at my plant after watering, and it is the best it has looked so far. Im very very happy right now. specially because tomorro is the end of the week. the green shades i have are amazing, and you should see my plant sprouting righ tnow. i owe it all to the transplant. this bigger container makes it so much easier to water as well.

Ok so i woke up this morning, and boy was i suprised the plant grew over 2 inches last night and one of the leafs were burnt because it grew right up and was touching one of the CFL's. really surpsied considering alll the stress it went through last night. what a resilient plant! i am going to start flowering in 1 week. otherwise i think this plant will get to big.

Ya Strain Hunters was so interesting i loved it too! I cant wait to taste that Pineapple flavour when they release it!

I started to do a bit of LST this morning too. i pulled down the opposite side of the plant where the branch ripped off last night. gotta get something there. i cant believe the growth i had last night though. It was the most growth over night ihave ever had. This plant just wants to take off. i think it could be due to the larger CFL bulb i put in last night.

before i had 2 42W (150w replacement) 6700K bulbs and 1 19w 2700k, but i replaced that 19w with a 42w 2700k and wow it made alot of difference. now is the exciting time. i will see if ican hold off 2 more weeks bro. i cant have this plant 6 feet tall though hahaha. ill have to start topping it or something. this are so good man! i cant wait to see what our plants are going to do over the next week!

Thanks for stopping by my thread. Your plants looking good. I'm glad you figured the watering schedule out, i find that the hardest part of growing. btw, dry ice is 100% CO2 - would be great for your plants if you have a free supply lying around (I wish I did). I'm sure you've seen dry ice sublimate and know that CO2 is heavier than air. If you're using it make sure that it's getting released above the plants so it can fall over them versus just carpeting the floor. Also I highly suggest not laying on the floor to take a nap when using it ;) Keep it up! And yeah for more lights! More lights, more soil, more CO2 the better!

DUDE i think that can definately work!!! im gonna have to go do that tomorro morning but it think i will have to take some sand paper to rough it up a bit as it may be to reflective and cause some burn spots, ill also look for some mylar! check out this read man, this guys posts are unreal. he is amazing. but there is a wicked spot on page 2 that he write about LST and topping. DEFINALTE worth the read!

So today, i release part of my LST, but also added some going another direction, as i could see there was a branch that wanted to compete on one of the sides for top position, so i think think it should take more than a day or 2 for it to catch up, then i think i will let it try and straighten out for a couple days because i try and bend it over backwards a bit, as there is alot of growth on the underside where it has been bent. im sure i can get another couple more competeing for the top! looks like i could end up with 7 or 8 top colas Cant wait!! Im getting very very close to flowering!! however, This plant is VERY VERY BUSHY, does anyone know, if i should prune some of these leaves off so i can get more light going into some of the stonger branches?

UHHGGGG, got some growning spots on some of the tips of my leaves, and one of the shoots fighting for top cola is quite light in colour. frustration sets in this morning. the leaves aremt standing straing out anymore either. its cantbe from over watering because i hadnt watered much so i watered it yesterday and it helped a bit. the soil was quite dry but it isnt this morning. so in an hour or so i am going to drive bout 40km to a nursery that i found, they are open all year round, and should have some nutrients. I wonder what i am deficient in for nutrients. probably everything considering i dont have a natural fertilizer in the soil. wish i would have read the SUPER SOIL recipe in june or july haha.
