5ft'er pics!!!!

Looks alot like my baby.. Cept mine is almost 6ft ;]. Still don't know if its a female or not.. But good luck to yah!

damn she(hopefully) is a beauty!!! nice work!

its pretty and matches its surroundings pretty well.. ups to you sir

Just confirmed today she is a lady! Along with 11 others ;]

nice going guys lookin good!
my outdoor plants usualy dont start to flower until late august early september and i usually pick em around halloween i live in new england and the cold temps help finish up pretty quick. as for yield i've easily gotten 4 oz from plants that size be patient and let the buds ripen up. males usually show their sex a little earlier

if it is male(hopefully not) you can still make bubble hash with it

UPDATE:
My baby is now at the 6ft mark!!!!! yeay!! Some female preflowering goin on but it looks like it maybe a hermie.. at least notta male!! cant tell for sure though..its got the pistils and what not but the only way to explain it is 'it looks like there more to it'.. ill have to post pics when i get my charger so ill let ya know!!

Again. 12/12 is an indoor technique. It is designed to speed harvest by instantaneously triggering the flowering stage.

In terms of outdoor growing, we speak of decreasing light cycles. A gradual process starting with Summer Solstice. In most of North America, 12/12 does not naturally occur until near the beginning of Winter. Long past harvest time. It maintains approximately 12/12 for a day or so, then decreases further. In fact, by the time 12/12 arrives, the Winter Solstice is not far behind, thus leading us back to 12/12 and beyond.

So, if it is after Summer Solstice as it is now, the decreasing light cycles have already started to trigger flowering. It's a gradual process

I received a PM from a Weed Baron, responding to that quote, with a subject of: 'Your Stupid.'

Hey I was reading a thread that you had posted on, You were talking about the light cycle for outdoor growing and I just wanted to say that YOU ARE A DUMB FUCK. 12/12 does not occure in early winter. It occures twice a year the one important to growing occurs in late July for most of us north american growers. Once the plant notices that the days are getting shorter, it starts to flower and several weeks later in fall is ready to harvest. Quite talking about shit you dont know about. check a sun rise/set chart and you will see that the days get longer until mid summer (longerst day called summer soltice) then get shorter until they reach 12/12 in late summer. they continue get shorter during the winter (shortest day caller winter soltice) then longer when you get back to 12/12 in early spring. Yes it all happens gradually outside, but it is still the plant recognizing the short days that causes it to flower.

I pointed out to his Weed Baron ass that 12/12 most assuredly does not occur in July. LOL! He later responded with a note that July was a brain fart, but I was still wrong.

This once again points to the problem which occurs in confusing INDOOR AND OUTDOOR techniques. Chaos. Chaos in the mind of Weed Barons everywhere.

He wrote, "12/12 does not occure in early winter." I never said that. I wrote, " In most of North America, 12/12 does not naturally occur until near the beginning of Winter."

I guess I should have been more clear. I should have said that when 12/12 occurs in nature, it does so near the fringes of frosty Winter, In late Fall and early Spring. On the Summer Solstice, June 20th, visible daylight in my area was 15 hours, 1 minute. When the Winter Solstice occurs in December, visible daylight will be 11 hours, 4 minutes. Now, assuming the decrease in natural light cycle is constant, which of those is closer to 12/12? When I refer to light cycles OUTDOORS, I am referring to visible day light.

I hope I did not confuse anyone other than the scholarly Weed Baron.

Well it seems like ya know what your talkin about! Lets not get carried away though people this is MY THREAD lol

I felt the need to refine my point in order to avoid any confusion.

This thread belongs to all of us. You started it, nothing more.

It is most assuredly not YOUR THREAD. LOL!

well its ALL of ours yes, but i think the word is hijacking...i really honestly dont care i love this info you are shedding on OUR THREAD...

Johnny knows his stuff...

Great guy and willing to share GOOD information.

nice plant bro!

In that case, I was not HIJACKING the thread. My post was germane to the topic.

Based on the PM, I realized I should further clarify my position lest anyone else get confused.

He sure does! no argument with that...

Oh and thanks!! shes about 6ft since i posted up those pics!! Had to move her to a different spot today though AGAIN! damn hikers everywhere! never once in my 14 years of living here have i seen people in my spot and of course NOW they start showin up...I had to army crawl under briars n thorns to not be seen and as they cleared outta sight i grabbed her n my others n moved the hell outta there!! good thing about them being in pots eh?

planters ftw!

that's the only reason i didn't put my baby into the ground... well that and its rocky

I wouldve been screwd months ago if i didnt keep them in pots!! pots are good for many purposes like moving them to recieve sunlight all day, if bug problem persists then you can test them out in a new area to see if the bugs arent as bad in another spot, if you have to move them like i did to keep em' safe from hikers, or whatever...unless you KNOW your not going to have anytheses problems i would suggest putting your plants in pots then just sticking them in the ground..

I HATE rocky areas where you cant bury the damn pot as well!

I
Please explain how I plan to harvest BEFORE the natural cycle hits 12/12 on 10/23/2008.

Please further explain how I've been getting away with it for so long.

I suppose I'm just wrong.

To the420,
I am sorry, man. You are definitely wrong on this one. I have never done an actual grow yet, but I have heard it said repeatedly from many available sources that a non-autoflowering strain will begin to flower if you give it a light cycle of 16/8 all the way up to 12/12 in respect to darkness. This is why those cats who plant seeds in May can rest assured that the long summer days zwill keep their plants in veg state till it hits that critical level and starts to bud. None of the forum's mentor-types were attacking you on the issue. They were simply telling it like it is.

To Johnny,
You know your shit! I hope I get some good advice from you when I start my own grow... just waiting on seeds and getting off my ass to build my tiny little cabinet. Just keep cool when you have those difficult types. I recognize that it is only natural for a grower with a few successes under their belt to figure they have some of the best, but please have some humility people. I worry that you guys will scare away newbs like me with your zealotry. Be open to new ideas, because even the tried and true methods y'all are using today were the inflammatory new ideas some time ago.

Sorry to step on the topic and get on my soapbox for a minute there but it seems like every thread that has more than 20 posts has someone telling everyone that every grow op is shit if they don't use the same technology or style that has been in use for the past 30 or 40 years.

I hope that your grow goes well, and keep us up to date!
