Thanks! I just hope the flowering goes like a proper plant should. I'm pretty damn dedicated to these plants making an A+ out of life, so we'll see how they do.
Thanks for the encouragement!Dude, I understand your dilemma with the LST. I was thinking about doing that myself as I could get some really nice growth from those side nodes.. they are about .5 inches long now and could probably benefit from it. I think you should at least try it on one of them that way you can tell if it could be worth it for the next grow!
Take care.
Take care.

This gives you some information about LST but it sure does seem like alot of work to me and also the added worry of damage as you do it.
But it looks as though it might be worth it in the end. I'm a bit old school and want to "let them be free" and grow the way they will.

Ive done a ton of research about LST.. It's not the matter of me needing to know more it's just basically whether I want to deal with buying string and dealing with it.. Know what I mean?

Ya know.. Im not sure what they are. I was looking at them again today wondering if they were from the nutes. I'll have to do a little research.. It's random leafs and not all of them.. so may be some sort of deficiency??

thats the fucking truth.(just came back from cinema: Pineapple Express.. damn good movie ahh..)
Oh and you are absolutely right! Johnnie O does favor #3 a bit! What I did for side lighting was set a y-adapter up on a desk lamp with 2 42w warm whites and perched it parallel to the soil at plant level. just switch sides everyday if you are having heat problems and if not... use two y-adapters and 4 lights. But from the looks of your last side shots, you are having no shortage of growth there! Looking good so far!

Days since ground-break: 20 days
Number of plants: 2
Lights: (5)26w, (1)23w CFL
Lumens: 1600 (x6 = 9,600)
Light Cycle: 18/6
Temps: 86ºF
Nutes: FoxFarm GrowBIG (1/2 dose)
Well godamnit!
So, the thing that happened weeks ago.. Where the plants got F'd up from what I thought was the MiracleGrow soil... Well its happening again. This is bullshit. #3 never really did recover from it and now, again, she is starting to have the same symptoms and will soon be all burnt looking... Augh.. This is so frustrating. I dont know what it is that's causing this!
I was committed to not watering my plants daily anymore and to find out when they needed water again. The leafs on #3 were folding in the long way which I looked up and it said it was due to heat.. So, i decided it was time to water it in order to cool it off. I flushed it.. My first time flushing soil.. But I rinsed about 1gal of distilled water through the pot last night... So, other than that flush counting as a WATERING, but it also COOLED DOWN the plant, and hopefully FLUSHED any nutes that was harming #3...
I havent watered Charlotte yet, she has had no nute burn probs or any problems at all really.
This morning the leaf folding stopped, and I guess I found #3's amount it can go without water. However, those damn burns are going to stay there. I dont get it.. I want it to stop! I have barely even Nuted them.. I've fed nutes twice in like 8 days time... and barely any nutes in it... And barely any water's worth.
Whatever... grrr.
In other news.. I ran around taking pictures of shit with the 30x magnifier.. I took pics of the weed I have, pics of some other weed I have, pics of my homie's sandwich, and pics of one of the plants!!!
So... Here's some pics for fun.
This is a trich shot of the current herb i'm smoking. It ain't great weed at all. Not quite as bad as some schwag shit.. but definitely below par bud.
And this right here is a shot of Charlotte! She's already got some crystals that are naked to the eye!

Okay, I guess magnifying pics don't float your boats...
How about some good ol' fashion plant shots.
Both plants are in the middle of their 7th nodes.. I'd say by Tuesday they will be on their 8th.. Wooo weeee! Still got another week and a half until their 1 month marks!

looking pretty good! they dont seem like they are too badly burnt. that MG time release shit is nasty! it can burn the fuck out of your plants. i wouldn't recommend feeding them any nutes at all, because it will just load up the plants with more then they can take...im not sure if you know, but the time release pellets last around 3 months, and they cant be flushed out of the soil...FF ocean forest is the best soil IMO. good job so far man...

Yeah.. FUCK MG. I did a grow (very ghetto, thrown together, no care for it) in that same dirt before and the pellets didnt bother the plants... And they aren't bugging Charlotte at all.. But #3 is hating them! I thought I had cleaned out all of the feed balls but I mustve missed one. Hmmm.. Nothing I can do about it other than just try to keep caring for #3.
I'm not going to nute #3 for quite some time. Not until I no longer see any signs of burning for at least 2.5 weeks.
Luckily I have some FoxFarm Forest... The next grow will use ZERO miracle grow.
Not looking bad at all with #3! You've definitely paid attention to side lighting, it seems. What strain was that you were smoking? I am still a novice smoker, so I was under the assumption that those were good sized trichs... you must be quite the connoiseur! And by the way, that camera is mighty fine! what kind is that?
Also, what kind of N-P-K is the stuff you are using? I really would like to find out the source of the trouble with #3. I am rooting for it!

I have no clue what strain I am currently on. It's just a bag I picked up. Basically I started with the grow thing because I'm sick of the "dealers" around here. Getting weed for me is like pulling teeth. Not sure why.. It's like these fuckers dont want to make a buck! I've only known the strain of weed I've smoked once in my life. Definitely not a connoiseur, althought I WISH I could be! lol
So yeah, I may have down-talked that weed a bit. It definitely has the potency for someone of my weight of smoker.. it just looked not as appealing as some of the nugs I see on this site.
The weed is good as far as getting you high. I mean, I get ripped for sure. It's just that the weed looks a little haggled. Not necessarily in the 30x magnification but just to the naked eye.. They arent full, voluptuous nugs. They are more... haggled.. Like an ugly hooker. Plus it had about 300 stems and shit in it.
The camera I used to take those shots was my iphone. I used the little laser magifier thing from a CD player. The part that reads your CD.. Saw someone doing that on the forum here a few weeks ago and adopted his idea. You just pop that outta an old CD player and attach it to your camera phone lens
I really think I missed one of the feedballs from the miracle grow soil I started them in. I am using foxfarms growBIG nutes, but I really dont think they are the culprit as #3 had an episode identical to this one before I bought the growBIG. When I transferred them from Miraclegrow cups to the foxfarm soil, I tried my damnedest to get all of the Miraclegrow soil out of there.. I think whatever is in the little feedballs is just too much for #3.
Whoo! Me too!
I know just what you mean about the dealers. Around here if you get an ounce of anything you have to pay the 'tax' which is the added weight of all those stems subtracted from actual smokable product. Then you have to deal with 'dealer time' and prices that seem to never be close to what they used to be... and for no reason. I am sure that you will be a pot snob in no time with all those good looking plants!
I really didn't see the really bad spots though. Maybe as the plant gets bigger it will be able to handle the concentration better and the nutes will have mellowed out too!
