ask and ye shall recieve, lol. Ill be posting up the pics i took today, in an hour or two. Maybe less, who knows!! you just gotta stay tuned ;)

But seriously though man, i looked into my tent this mornin, n i got some mini golfballs goin on man. Im SERIOUSLY impressed with the way shit is developing here. The only complaint i have really, is that on the one side of the tent, where i have twilight and bluecheese #1, the buds arent growin as fast as they are on the other side of the tent. This is because the majority of the light is sittin to one side of the tent, because i have some ducting in the way i think, or because the bulb isnt centered in the room. Either way, the solution is simple, im just gonna rotate the plants around daily, so they all get an even amount of light. I was thinking about hookin up a light mover in there, but its north worth the trouble, plus i have fans and ducting and a carbon filter that would get in the way, so my solution is better, lol.

BlueCheese #2 -- The new LEader of the pack. Without a doubt the nicest lookin buds of the bunch, this is the plant that my avatar pic is from. Straight up 4' tall with the growbag, and just lush green, no signs of any serious burn or deficiencies, and she just seems to be lovin life.

Whiteberry -- Same deal man, just a little shorter, lol. Shes about 3 1/2 feet including the growbag, and also has buds the size of huge marbels, or smaller golfballs. These two plants are directly under the bulb, but ill start rotating theplants around tomorrow. Just fuckin beautiful.

Northern Soul -- Middle of the road. Her nuggets are still not quite as big as the previous two plants, but still shes lush, and just lookin fuckin awesome. 4' including growbag. Once i put this one under the bulb where bluecheese #2 is, shes gonna take over as the front runner easily, lol.

Twilight -- Shes so fuckin wierd lookin man, lol. Shes 4'3", and shes really thin. Not much foliage, but she has two MONSTER main branches that are just gonna turn into two massive fuckin colas hopefully. the way things are forming, i think that the spacing between nodes is just barely close enough to where we might be able to get one long big thick cola out of each huge branch. Well see. Buds arent that big, but shes the one thats sitting at the other end of the tent. No shadows are cast in the tent at all, but shes still not getting all the lumens id like for her to get. Once again, rotating will fix this for sure..

BlueCheese #1 -- Not at the back of the pack to say the least, but shes definitely got a little catching up to do. 4' with growbag, but her nugs just dont look quite caught up to the rest of the girls. I think im gonna use a full teaspoon of purple maxx on all the plants next feeding, just to see if it helps out with the calyx stacking. I cant fuckin wait for those calyxes to start swelling up, and for the hairs to change colors on the blue cheeses man. Theyre gonna look so fuckin danky, lol.

The White Widows Are FINALLY FUCKING GROWING!!! I got a couple more books last night -- MARIJUANA SUCCESS INDOORS by Ed Rosenthal, and CANNABIS CULTIVATION by Mel Thomas. While checkin out the Ed book, it just popped into my head that i havent given them any grow nutes at all yet. So i took both of them out of the flowering tent immedeately, and i fed them both 1/2 strength veg nutes, just to see if something would happen, but at the same time, making sure i dont burn anything. Woke up this morning and both plants have spacing between nodes now, and are forming new nodes, and the branches are actually fanning out finally man. Im so god damn relieved, seriously. I thought they mighta ended up being lost causes, lol.

So anyways, i lied, lol, im gonna do the update now - i just wanted to make ya sweat a little bit ;)
lemme get to uploading the pics, and ill post again. The plants are in the same order in the pictures as they are in my report here. Gimme about ten minutes ;)

n thanks for readin as always :D

-K1.

N before ya start laughin if you see toys n shit layin on the floor, or my son sleepin on the bed, its because im watchin him at the moment n i had to run into the grow room, open the tent n take out a plant, n then run back into our room with the damn thing to snap pics, and run n put it away, n come back. He dont like to be alone when hes sleepin, in case he wakes up and nobody is there, hell start to freak out. Abandonment issues, lol.

I saw my first pistils on November 26th, so i guess this is the end of Week 2 of flowering. I threw them into 12/12 on the 19th of november, so it took a week to show pistils, and from there is when im counting down my 7-11 weeks. I say 7-11 weeks because theres 5 different strains. some take 7-8 weeks, some take 8-10 weeks, and some take 9-11 weeks, lol. Im gonna have three different harvests from the plants in the tent right now, and then 2-3 weeks later ill have yet another harvest with the White Widows, n then ANOTHER harvest, from the Red Diesel, lol. i love this shit man :D


N I get my books from ordering online, but alot of the ones i pick up i usually get from Barnes n Noble bookstore. I buy all my hightimes, skunk, cannabis culture, weed world, and Headz magazines from Barnes n Nobles too. They have every book on growing pot known to man. They even have SubCool's book DANK:the quest for the very best marijuana - which by the way, is a must read. Its just a beautiful book man, lol.

Ya his girls are really lookin nice. I think I'm gonna try pretty much the same nutes as you King. It seems like a simple regiman, and they sure look beefy! I think those buds are gonna bulk up real nice!

LMAO thats some funny shit. I appreciate the advice Skrill. Ill be sure to bust out the 250, 400, n 1000w lights i just bought the other week, n hook um all up just for you ;)

-- Wuddup guys, fuckin had to take care of some bidness yesterday man. A room full of italians (my family) needed mediation, lol. Fuckin everyone from my family back in jersey came to visit, n its kinda hard to pull myself away when i got 5 uncles yellin at me n fuckin tellin me to come play poker n get drunk :D


So yesterday i DID find time to water my plants, cuz lets face it, fuck that shit, lol. I did my normal dose of Just water, with a 1/2 tsp of Purple Maxx, and i woke up this mornin and i had more dead leaves on the bottoms of my plants than usual. I mean, every day i have to pick one or two off of each plant because theres not very much light getting down to the very bottoms, but today i had to take off like 4-5 leaves on each plant. fuckin had be worried, but everything else looks awesome, and the buds are progressing really well, and every other bit of the plants are lookin healthy, so im not gonna sweat it. I think i got a minor dose of the burn that people talk about getting when they use P.Maxx wrong. Maybe i shouldnt use it with every feeding, lol.

Other than that man, i think ill give it like 2 more days and snap off some pics for you guys. The buds are coming along really nicely on BC#2, Whiteberry, and Northern Soul, but shit is still kinda spindley on Twiglight and BC#1. I think its because those are the two plants who are showing some REALLY sativa like traits in them, which is wierd because Twilight is supposedly 100% indica, and BC is an indica dom hybrid. Fuckin wierd man. I guess the BC seeds werent as stabalized as i thought they would be after all. Reguardless im sure theyll fatten out in a couple days, so ill get some pics up as soon as theres some noticeable difference on all of the plants. Everything is fuckin beautiful though other than that little setback with the miniburn.

--O, n btw, i finally threw my Widows into flowering. Finally they grew out to around 4-5 nodes and around 7 inches in height. So i figure if i flower now ill probably get a nice 2 foot plant out of them both, maybe a little taller but not by much i think.

Ill holler at you guys in a little bit. I still got family here, so ill tear away whenever i can to check up on things.

-- or a novel, lol.

Now lemme ask a question here. If you guys ever grown in a cramped environment, or have had a canopy so thick that the bottom of the plant aint gettin enough light to it, did you guys ever deal with a situation where every day you have to pick one or two leaves off the bottom, or leaves fell off the bottom daily?? I mean, it never moves its way up the plant, so i know its not a deficiency or a problem at all, and you cant tell even after the leaves are gone on the bottom that they were ever even there. The ONLY signs of trouble that ive had are a MINOR, MINOR TINY little bit of burning on the tips of the leaves. You can BARELY notice it. I looked at it n laughed, n said to myself that this must be the one complication im gonna end up with for this grow, n got over it. Of course im gonna use a gallon of water to run through each of the plants before i give them their next real feeding, but thats nothing major, just standard procedure every few weeks so i dont get too much of a buildup in the soil.

ANyway, the question again, lol, did any of you ever have a canopy so thick that the bottoms had leaves goin yellow n fallin off due to lack of light??

When I last grew, the plants weren't cramped, but the lower fan leaves started to die off slowly after I started to bud them. I think this is a pretty natural part of the plant growth. I think that it is also usually a bit worse with organic grows since the plants aren't pumped up on nutes. The plant is most likely just taking nutes from the lower leaves and putting them into the buds! Unless it gets real bad, I don't think its anything to worry about.
