Cheers bishop I avint been online 4 a bit I found out I had springtails witch don't harm the plants I need to put a few pics of mine 4 u 2 c coz were at same stage an am doing exodus an White ice I think the canna is doing it's job 4 me I cut all the little buds off at the bottom dried them an 4 a 3 week old cheese it got me stoned an tasted nice with nutz in lol I am looking on 12 to 15 oz from 4 plants witch is ok for me if I can il use me birds phone later coz I got iPhone an can't post pics but me birds can take pics under the hps witch is gud peace

Nightmare begins havin taken a look at our ladies on monday we found some seeds startin to form in 3 off our plants in tray 1 cant see no pollen sacks or anything else that is male looking we had a slight mess up with our light timer and thinking this could have caused them to turn ....just hope there is no pollen as we have now pulled them out leaving us with 3 in tray 1 and still 8 healthy in tray 2......been doin alot of readin over the last few days and its possibly we could have some dodgy seeds just my luck.....so we have gone to another source and purchased some bubble/cheese ....added some pics but these show all the plants before we pulled them on 22.03.10..
also trimmed our mother and she is goin into flower very soon
gonna keep this journal goin but thinking of starting another with the bubble/cheese

bobbybigbud hi m8...give us your journal link or post pics in this thread would be good to compare...
peace....

bishop you might have fem seeds coz thats how you get them stress the fem plant with the lights then the seeds she produces should be fems so iv been told theres alot more to it but u may have done it by mistake let the plants finish the harvest u will still get bud an the 12/12 a couple of seeds an she if there all bitches if there has been pollen in your grow room it may done all plants that is most likely if you have alot of air movement well heres my pics dnt no how to make them small

that sucks bro might as well go with it and kill the original one with pollen and keep the others those will be good quality fem seeds

well peeps it looks like we got 3 girls with no seeds .
i just hope we get to the finish line cause we got just under 5 weeks to go on that tray

included loadsa bud pics as they just starting to swell up a little now an gettin sticky.cant see no seed so hope we ok

the other 8 looking ok at 3 weeks in but the red stems are startin to piss me off ....is it cause of the strain and if not do we need to go up on n p k if so which?
we upped the n just a little thinking its that but might need a bit more

anyway guys enjoy

peace

btw the bubble cheese seeds 1 has cracked so will start new journal when ready to plant

My cheese has purply red stems that is down to the strain.

They were 4weeks or 4weeks 1 day can't remember what day. I had the full ionic range an poured it down the drain except nitrlizyme "spelling" that was ok for bushing them out if u have ur new nutes use them ur bud looks gud an the plants look great I think u will smash it wen u use some gud feed.

hi m8 ...yes we are now using the fox farm range open sesame then beastie bloom then cha ching...the plants that have been in for 5 weeks now have missed out on the open sesame as the hydro shop didnt have it...the 8 clones that are 3 weeks in are lookin mighty fine they have been on open sesame since the start for them can tell the differece with these nutes....hoping the way our 8 are goin we shouldnt be to far off yours...

Wait till u enter flower my last grows I couldn't realy c the difference seeing them on a daily basis me mate who come down 1 a week would say there well bigger but now I can see the difference on a daily basis an am so happy with them he came down yesterday an was like a little girl at christmas lol Am gona keep watch ur thread would like to no ur yeild an stuff an if u do a new thread for the next 1 I would like to follow that too an her u say wow I haven't used fox farm but am told it good stuff

hi all ..quick update an some bud porn...
tray 1 stand alone cha ching and tray 2 is still on open sesame and a massive difference towards tray 1....buds much better formed on sesame our mother has been in flower now for abt 7 days on open sesame ....

hi guys thought id put sum more pics up a few days on from last post....

first our girls at 6 1/2 weeks into flower...
still got these wrong with the nutes early on(dumped the ionic in flower room and now fox farm ) but will get to the end this time no seeds all bud
they swelling nicely and smell much fruitier and sweeter in the room than before



a few more pics now of buds in both trays in same shot .
buds to the right are 6 1/2 weeks in and been grown up on ionic boost and bloom and swapped at week 4ish for beastie bloom and now on cha ching (growth slowed again before the change to FF)
buds on left are 2 weeks behind and as soon as clones came in flower room (about 6-8"high) we had open sesame and have been on that since.nuff said



last lot of pics 4 1/2 weeks in an you can see how much fatter with bud they gonna be and plants much smaller and more dense.and its almost beastie bloom time for a week

like bobby said earlier we can see buds grow/swell daily now lol



stay tuned peace

Lookin gud am at 6 weeks today il try an take some pics 2morrow an get them up mine seem to have slowed down on the bud production I think anyway me bird says different an me mate
think I may of posted the wrong flower time for me in the past just incase we have a detective watchin coz am like that lol

lol m8 i hear ya...some more pics now just to bring things up to date again


week 7 gonna carry on flush for another few days and then chop the 3 they look done





and week 5 now on beastie for 1 week only then on to cha ching





enjoy.... peace

Lookin gud mate didn't upload my pics there was no point they hadn't changed since my last pics so done a flush an they started up again yay think it was the pk causing a lockout hope they pick up ones due down in a week an a half " White ice" gonna let the cheese do ten weeks

Here are mine from my first grow back in 07.
You can just tell how the potency is by the triches mike

Yes this is true, but if you let all the triches go amber then you are increasing the CBD% in your bud and Lowering the THC%
You can use this info to determine when you want to chop, Higher THC effects or Heavy body high CBD effects.
CBD is the forgotten molecule in most cases, it comes from THC decomposing. You usually strive for a balance of both these molecules.
THC has schizo side effects. When THC is balanced with CBD they counter react each other in a sense, and cancel out these minor rare symptoms.

( Stinky Bishop you should try and get some better pictures of the triches, those first 3 look done to me ) If you have not chopped let them sit in the dark for 24-72hours 1-3 days before you feel like chopping.

Cheers
