Just a couple quick photos, probably the best ones I've taken so far. Now that I can raise the lights, I can get decent shots of the entire canopy. These are from today, Day 24 of flowering, Day 49 from seed: And some closeup shots of the colas starting to form: As you can probably...

Alright, time for a quick update! I finally got a temp/humidity sensor for Mother's box, so now I can keep an eye on when it might be time to move her box. Luckily it's quite portable, so I can just carry it to the basement or wherever on really hot days. I'm still working on light-proofing...

So, I know I'm a few days late on this one, but I just wanted to comment on this part of your earlier post: That's what perlite is for, more than anything else. In nature, the drainage role is taken up by lots of sand and bits of gravel/rock, but perlite is better at that and it's pH...

Looking gorgeous!

Sometimes it seems like the half-assed plans might be better than the well-laid-out ones... that way you only fix the problems that actually arise, rather than hypothetical ones. Oh well! I'll be following your new grow, too -- those clones look like monsters! Here's to hoping the weather...

I'm such a sativa guy that I think it's well worth the wait! But yeah, that's part of the reason I'm shifting to a perpetual SOG next, so I won't have to wait 100+ days for each harvest. My goal is to harvest and add one clone every 10-12 days. I'm currently only smoking about 1-2 oz per...

I thought I was subbed to your journal and just realized I wasn't! It's been a little while since you said you'd be posting pics soon... got anything for us?

So this is just a quick rant about temps... I'm really starting to regret my decision to have lights on at night and off during the day. First off, here are my latest temp and humidity charts: As you can see, the high temps are starting to trend up. However, my low temps are also trending...

Looks like burn to me, I'd second the flush idea. Nothing that can't be fixed pretty easily, though, if we're right!

Thanks! I'm using a Sony NEX-3 with the 18-200 lens. It's like a DLSR but without the viewfinder. As far as the temp/humidity monitor, it was only high compared to where the plants were when I first installed the sensor. Now that I've transplanted them into the final container, it's about...

No worries, man, I've been known to rant and rave a bit myself! As a matter of fact, I enjoy reading a good rant almost as much as I enjoy writing one. And odessa, thanks for not blacklisting us! ;-) Your plants really are purty, too. Keep up the updates, man.

So I've decided to start a separate grow journal for the SOG that I am about to get started with, even though it will be flowering alongside the ScrOG that is described in my other journal. I'm using clones of the same plant for this operation, but I expect the SOG to continue in perpetuity...

Nice! What drying/curing technique are you using?

Update time! The plant is finally starting to begin what I'd call truly flowering, on day 17 of 12/12. Every node is now producing a pair of flowers along with each leaf node. Here are a few example pics: The stretch also seems to be slowing at least a little bit. Just in time...

So I feel bad about hijacking this journal with a silly back-and-forth, but I wasn't talking about you. Your comment was clearly a joke and nowhere near a rant. This is what I was referring to:

I think you should read what I said again. I repeated like 5 times that the levels of pollutants are probably too low to affect plants, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I was agreeing with you that the earlier person who was all ranting and raving about pollution was way off the mark.

Straining won't help with most pollutants (unless you're using RO or some serious filtration, in which case why use rain water as your source at all?), but it will get rid of insects, dust, and maybe even pollen. However, I'll agree with you that the earlier poster was probably exaggerating...

Thanks! It doesn't seem to be getting worse or spreading, I'm going to go with the theory that it was leaves that came into contact with the soil, which seems to be retaining a lot more water than I'd normally want. Going forward I'm going to mix this soil more like 50/50 with perlite, I...

Those girls are looking beautiful and healthy! I guess you'll be switching to 12/12 as soon as you get the HPS? What is your plan for the clones, btw? Are you going to flower them later, or use them as mothers and flower their clones?

Looking tasty! I'd say hold off another week at least to harvest, I bet those buds have some plumping up to do!
