SMOoVE: Purple Cindy: DWC: 400w Growshow

[EuDxKing]

I love this grow.
It is hydroponic right?

[gonejah17]

interested to see what the uvb did homie, let us know!!

[smoove]

IM: Thanks, and I hope you're right about the uvb.

EuDxKing: yup, DWC.

gone: I took some pics late last night but didn't bring the camera with me to work... so tonight I'll post em, promise

[smoove]

In a hurry... but here's a shot of the skinny top, notice you can totally see the stem...







And here's another shot of a few of the tops:

well it doesnt look tooo bad.

How many weeks do u have left of flowering??

Either way u got lotsa dank on ur way man, worst case scenario u chop off the little tops right??

[Earl]

It is funny that the uVb made the plant do that.

I left my uVb light on for days
and had no growth affect on the flowers.

I have had stalky calyx' like that.

It can happen if you use Bloom Booster at the wrong time,
or if you change the light cycle back to veg.

I think you will finish OK.

How many phenotypes do you have?

I had two phenos with the PC.

The fastest growing and largest plant of mine,
has the best flavor and buzz.

I harvested last week.

hey earl

was that the plant with the contest you harvested?

I gotta say I think HGS genetics are great! Most amazing grow I have yet to do!

purple cindy is THAT good huh?

smoove - have you grown her before?

[gonejah17]

What contest do u mean, chuck??

Yeah HGS seems to be really comin thru. the PC looks like a real winner and there was another one I thought but I forget the name.

Earl ur shit was monster

[IMgreen]

some contest at hgs' forum, guess the final weight for free seeds

I didn't partake

if you journal a grow of their stuff from end to end they hook you up with free seeds too

they're good like that!

Last time I had wisdom teeth out, I was still smokin' ciggs and they said the same crap... something about bacteria and whatnot.

However, their reasoning is flawed... Perhaps the smoke will irritate the sore spots/holes in your mouth, but don't you think eating is wrose for them?!

And ya gotta eat... even with yogurt, you are getting crap in the holes that you have to then irrigate with the syringe thing they give you.. so...

while ciggs constantly would probably be bad, I just do NOT see how smoking a little ganja is gonna hurt you either way... besides, you can use mouthwash after 24 hours or so anyway..

.....

Get better and smoke up

Maybe, but I had 1 impacted wisdom tooth out, smoked as soon as I could close my mouth enough, then got an infection that put me in hospital on a drip for 4 straight days! My face swole up so bad that I couldn't open OR close my mouth and the inside of my cheek got cut to buggery from being rammed into my other teeth. Still, got 2 weeks supply of morphine when they discharged me!

Back on topic, great plants man! +rep

[smoove]

gone: It's been 56 days since the switch to 12/12, but 46 days since the first female flower appeared. The way they look right now I'd say they still have a few weeks to go, 18-20+ days or so. I want them to really ripen up before I chop. Somewhere around 25-40% amber trichs. I suppose I could just chop the very tops off... but I'd much rather avoid it if at all possible. The buds that are already formed look so freakin dank... and smell so wonderful. I just wish I could have kept the grow on the same path.

Earl: Dude, your plants were just ridiculously awesome. Like you I got 2 phenos. One is dense, bushy and sensitive, the other pheno is taller, has bigger buds, is much stronger smelling and is a much heartier plant overall. I have a feeling I'll enjoy smoking it more too.

It can happen if you use Bloom Booster at the wrong time

Do you happen to have any more information with regards to this statement? I've read this before but can't remember any specifics. I'm going to do some research as soon as I finish this post but if you have any more info you could share, I'd really appreciate it.

IM: Nope, first time. In fact I think Earl was first person (outside of Highgrade's personal circle) to grow Purple Cindy. She's a new strain and these seeds were harvested in October or November of 2007.

blobbio: Thanks for the rep. I'm still dealing with a sensitive dry-socket but other than that it took 3 weeks of recovery to get back to 100%. Your experience sounds like it was hellish, I can only imagine what it was like to go through. Here's to now having healthy happy mouths!

[gonejah17]

Yeah dog I just mean cut them off post harvest, not now

not a huge deal right?? just like cuttin the stems under the nugs, u got stems on top of the nugs too, like a stem and nug sandwich lol

Its strange that this didnt happen for AW or Earl, hmmm

[screwdababylon!]

wow!
what a nice colour)))
good lookin

[smoove]

LOL I hear ya on the nug sandwhich gone, but I was shooting more for nug popsicles and after doing some more research I'm convinced it was in fact the UV lamp that caused the tops to stretch and the new bud growth to be more wispy. I can't say with any certainty why Earl's and AW's UV lights didn't have any effect on their plants, but if had to guess, it's the strength of the bulbs. The UV lamp I'm using gives off a considerable amount of UV-A and UV-B along with a cooler visible light. Equivalent to the amount of UV-B found on the equator at high noon, and about the same amount of visible light as a 20-40w CFL. It's a mercury vapor lamp with an external ballast. I actually got a tan-line from my wrist-watch while fussing with the canopy while the lamp was on... it's strong.


...and thanks screwda, I've been messing with the camera settings to get that effect. It's much more solid dark green in person. It's the combination of HPS + UVB + Flash + Camera Settings that give it the white-blue-green-yellow mix of colors.

Wow smoove, just wow. Absolutely amazing grow. I am truly envious of you. I hope that those buds are even HALF as good as they are looking to be.
