Good to hear bro! I'm getting a new setup! should be posting pics within the next few weeks. I've been having a lot of luck with White Siberian from Dinafem 12/12 from seed (and 12/12 from clone after rooting and about a week of veg).

I really hope you are not chopping buds off the plant in the picture below, if so that is nowhere near ready

Did you do any reading/research into the strain before purchasing? Or did you get fooled by the breeders "7-8 weeks" lol
I'm chopping the shit out of it! haha It's not that I'm impatient but just that right now I have no access to any finished product. :neutral:

So far she hasn't complained about the abuse. I'm watching for signs of hermie and so on.

I got these seeds because of the smoke profiles and I saw someone on youtube grow some real monsters...and yeah, 7-8 weeks lol.
 
I think the plant on the left (Auto Berry) has a little over 3 weeks left, if I'm going by what the seed bank said...I know these pics suck balls but you can see how damn small these little GL40 tents are! I'm just going to put one plant per tent in the future unless the 12/12s I've started are small enough to keep two in there.

The one on the right is Auto AK, which supposedly only has a 10 day longer harvest time, but it hasn't even started to flower yet. I see a couple white projections coming out at all of the nodes, so I guess it's close.

I'd say they're about 2' tall? I hope they're almost done growing or I'm going to have to hack the tops off or something.

They are in 1/3 1/3 1/3 mix in 2gallon smart pots.

Hey, regarding my little tent setup (see pics above), do any of you have an easy home-made idea on how I can construct something in order to do something like a SCROG in order to keep the plants at or below a set height?

Basically, it has those 4 thin white metal poles that go from bottom to top, and the spacing is 16" from one to the other. Maybe something like making a couple loops of tight string of some sort that goes around all 4 and then some kind of plastic or wooden "weave" going across? Or if i can buy something cheap to somehow fasten at a certain height?

I'm so pissed I don't have more room for a nice, big tent. Can't wait until I move... then again maybe these 2 small tents will produce more than enough if I can figure out how to best use them.

Any ideas appreciated...as always, thanks! :)

My first grow, 12/12fs Tangerine Dream in an air pot with coco, under a 120w induction bulb is now at about 8 weeks.

The flowers start super-early but develop slooooowly. The smell is really starting to come on strong now, it's citrus blossom with a hint of over-ripe fruit, kind of "sickly-sweet".

I've been abusing the shit out of this plant lately, mainly out of curiosity and boredom. Ended up supercropping every damn stem including the top ones. This had the almost immediate effect of supercharging the odor of the buds at the end of the supercropped stem. Maybe just coincidence but the buds seemed to start growing faster after being super-cropped. I cut any fan leaf that is in the shade of another and I've been stealing the popcorn buds for the past week. So far she appears none the worse for wear, although I'm definitely keeping watch for hermie signs.

Here are a couple bud shots from this morning's sunbathing session...


good heavens Miss Balfour, your calyx are so swollen!


this is the top, part of the very tip is shaded by a fan leaf...


The frost is really starting up!

Big; I have smoked a little bit of it and I don't remember a real skunk like smell or taste, more the flowers and what not. Maybe you learn to like it.lol ...rw
niceee! yeah, I know I will like it for shure!! haha

Just imagine if they were in 5 gallon pots! They'd overgrow the area!:clap:
Wish I had more space and more light... got 17 plants in 4L pots under a 400 w in 60cm by 45cm closet...

Someone is salivating here.....
 
Damn...what kind of camera do you have? I can't get any nice, magnified close-ups like that with my piece of shit! Of course, that could be my complete incompetence at using a camera just as well as possibly having a complete piece of shit camera!

lol, It's just a Canon Powershot little digital camera from like 4 years ago. But to get nice close-ups, you just have to have any camera with a "macro" mode.
 
Damn...sounds like you're saying I need to break out the manual for my camera. I try to avoid that! But, seeing as I just bought it last year, I guess if yours from 4 years ago can do it then mine probably can too.

If its the powershot s95, thats one of the best point and shoot cameras on the market! I had one. Then needed money so had to sell it!

If you have a little dial with a flower icon, just put it on that one. A camera not in macro mode cant usually focus closer than about 6 inches, with the macro mode you can get up to an inch or so away. But then you also want to throw the pic in some editor and crop it down to cut off all the stuff you dont want to show and bring the higher resolution through.

At a wild guess, if your humidity is high it could be exactly that "brown leaf spot" a fungus. Copper products take care of that, and removing affected leaves. Without seeing more, Im not sure.
