you just got burned out? jesus that sucks in the worst way
that you saved some plants is incredible, and no one got hurt from the sounds of it
i wish you the best of luck in getting a new home
at least it's not winter which is the worst time of year for that kind of shit to happen

my plant seems like small change when you hear news like that
just looked at it and overall, it's really packing on bud bigtime
have to post a pic later
my best guess is this is its natural ripening process, some plants will ripen like this, they are programmed to have their fan leaves die and wither
i've read myself silly on the PPP logs, from the growers with the most experience
it seems PPP is usually a light feeder, so i'm sticking with the feeding schedule that i've been using
the buds are threatening to outgrow the chamber, that's my biggest worry right now
 
exactly 6 weeks of 12/12, i'm seeing some major bud production now
that's growing i guess, you have ups and downs
so the main cola/stem has been bent to grow laterally, and pops up at the chamber edge
it's the bud slightly to the left of center in the 2nd pic
2nd pic is side view to give a sense of bud sizes, 1st pic is top view
it has put on some major bulk, can't see it all from this angle
that fan leaf is hiding a lot
the goal of LST is to get a 'circle' of stem and bud
that has not happened here, this strain was too compact
but i can hardly complain, just not sure that LST has increased yield
last note on odor, super low, super stealth
my northern lights grows were outright stinkers compared to PPP
but there is smell when rubbed, probably best description is sweet skunk

thanks for stopping potseed, we've been pacing each other for quite a while
i checked out your latest pics today, the bag seed really came through for you
you never know what will come through, growing is just an adventure
 
Dang bro those buds are really coming along but thanks for the support it's goin good filed all the missing and damaged good at the insurance company so lookin to get back in another apt livin wit the gf is horribly LOL but really luvin the PPP thinking bout buyin sum seeds for next years grow along with a shit load of others gonna big next year mostly outdoors though

glad to hear that, not the worst case by a long shot, i used to do outdoors, it was quite a rush to do a good outdoor grow

heard about you haha

hope i can keep my small rep going, such that it is
there are a few of us microgrowers in the neighborhood, i grow just enough for my needs
or hope to with this harvest, i've had indica for the last 6 months, but i'm really craving the sativa feel
though it's not 'sativa', hybrid with sativa feel, or so many say
glad to have you along
 
Yeah was really trying to grow indoors this year but outdoors cool but really the buds really did plump up aye I'm goin 2 bed gf goins so ima join:hump:
 
wow they're really packing it up now! good work bro :)

one thing may I ask you growone: what's the distance you keep your lights from the top of the plant?
 
willy, simplybaked, trifase

thanks for the votes of 'plumping'
supposedly, with ppp, this should be just the start, i'll just say i'm guardedly optimistic

and on the cfl distance trifase, that's the nervous part
nearly every larger bud is within 2 inches of a cfl, 1 inch for some of them
the nervousness is making sure nothing gets burnt up, because everything is packed pretty tight
 
Tru dat but cfl don't get very hot at all plus your air systems Is gonna cool it down also so I wouldn't worry also you can tie branches down so the upward grow will be minimal ( I haven't used this method with marijuanna but It works with tomatos plants kinda close to weed)

it's working out, i've tied down pretty much every branch
what can ding you is the leaf/bud growing into the cfl, which has happened to me before
but that was just a bit of leaf
it's the temptation that screws with your head, the closer you get, the bigger the bud
until you get too close, then you pay for your obsession
 
Idk bro I've always had enough room between plants and lights do can't really say to much just a couple of burns minor though but hey you have any other strains you have had suscess with planing a major gurillea grow opt next year already gettin ready for it I'm talkin like 40ish or more plants maybe like 4 strains all feminized so trying to go big idk yet bout how many plants but def more then 20 I got room for it 2
 
my inside experience is still pretty new, do have a nl#5 pheno i've been growing
some NL might be worth a shot, fairly short finishing times
the one i have is a late finisher - 12 weeks, luck of the draw, just not worth the outside grow
i was going to try it but 12 weeks is too long in my neck of the woods
depends on your latitude/general location
but good for you and planning out the outside grow, gets you back on your growing feet

same as here :) I'm asking because, idk, I have the feeling that 1-2" yes gives you more light intensity, but at the same time the plant stays lilliput...? just a feeling eh! Right now I'm trying 2-3 inches instead, to see if I notice anything - what do you think?

they do stay compact, but that's supposed to be good
back the bulb away, and it's longer but less dense bud
potency is supposed to be the same, so total weight may not be too different
we're getting into the harvest zone, just a few more weeks!

mmm ok, think you're right :) ...it's just that I was thinking about gram/watt ratio, and I want to climb that hill up :) I'm designing a smaller cab, with better/direct vent and I would like to grow nano plants, like 6-8 of them, to see if I get a better yeld... oh well enough with hijacking your thread mate :) thanks for the info & I'm tuned on your grow!

i see where you're coming from here, and you may be right!
much of our 'grower lore' is about dense buds, everybody like the feeling of dense buds, so do i
but to get them, you have to pour the light intensity on
you have to think at some point the photosynthetic regions are being saturated, not sure what that limit is, but there has to be one
so going back to grams/watt, i could see backing the bulb away bit might boost overall yield, at least for cfl's
buds will be fluffier, but that's a psychological thing, as far as i can tell

no sample yet, i have other weed(thank god)
every bit i snip off early gives me visions of lost grams later
and i small grows have to carry me for a while, though there is talk of MMJ in NY, believe it when i see it
