    Its now day 55 of flowering, i'l try n take some more pictures cause they really look pretty epic now and i should be harvesting in a couple weeks give or take a week.

    Set up

    -well iv got 6 CFL's going they pull about 125 watts
    -The timers set at 14 hours off 10 on (i worked my way up to that 13/11etc), going to give it a day or two of darkness before harvest
    -Used this big bloom stuff i found in my house, bone meal, and molasses (not all at once) for nutes and its been working quite well
    -Got a nice LST clone of this going in a computer veg case lol

    yeah i'll update this sooner or later but i'd love to here what you guys think or any tips you might know. Oh and if anyone knows why that ONE nug had red hairs and none of the others i'd really like that explained, i just attributed it to the 30% back yard soil i mixed in when i transplanted to bags but who knows lol

    Alright it is now day 57 of flowering and i took three tops off. I'm going to let the rest mature with the lights closer because the tops are now a more even height.
    I also took some pictures of my next generation LST clone in its computer lol


    Sorry for the HUGE pictures but they are macro shots so i wanted you guys to see all the goodness possible lol :D
    This was taken like a few minutes before i cut it off (day 57):eek:

    The Computer

    -This is where i clone and veg for a bit then they get put in the other box
    - I know its tin foil but i ran out of Mylar and it seems to work well enough for now but im thinking of building a bigger veg box and if/when i do i'll get some more mylar.
    - I wish you could see this better but its hard to get a good shot showing how many nodes there really are.
    -This plant iv been LST, fimming , and topping hard core and it shows, some stems split into like 4 even height nodes and its awesome!

    So yeah, I'll keep updating as i harvest n stuff or if anything comes up that i need help with.

    and @smokinweeds i know i didnt expect this to look soo awesome but i think it had alot to do with he extra dark time i gave them, cause their not huge buds but they are soo full of crystals.

    Well i'll do my best to describe what i do, but the way i learned to grow was pretty much
    trial and error and with a little help from my friends lol but my mane idea is to maximize light to your bud sites.

    When im gardening i usually just play it by ear and if i see a lower node i want to grow more i fim a node higher up thats blocking its light then few days later that lower node is bigger and the fimmed node has just popped out its shortened fan leaves.
    Iv been fiming most of my top nodes giving the lower nodes more light and now there almost even with the top nodes.
    you could start fiming pretty early, i'd wanna have at least like 3 or 4 nodes.
    Personally i don't really top to much usually just a few times during vegging then right before switching to flowering so i get two nice top buds on each stem.
    Im sure there are intense fiming/topping guides on here i'd check them out
    but feel free to ask more questions and i'll do my best to answer them. :smoking:
     
  11. You mean Annie's?
     
  12. Fantastic job on your grow. Your buds look tasty! +rep
     
  13. That looks awesome Blunt! How bout we put YOUR plants in MY fridge. The combination of the two might make eyes bleed looking at it. ;)
     
  14. those are some of the nicest plants i've seen on here. props dude
     
  15. Those are some dank ass looking buds dude.
    You did so good with just CFL's. props from me too!
     
  16. Just a little update:
    Check out the fresh nugs i grabbed this morning.
    The first four pictures are of two nugs i harvested today and the last one is the same stuff only older and dry.
    Thanks for all the positive feedback everybody
    and on a side note iv let go of a little over an 1/8 of this stuff and every one that's had any loved it
    I guess its pretty DANK :smoking:

    Indeed! i did stop feeding them before i started harvesting. They got two waterings with
    some molasses after that for maximum bud denseness!lol:)

    a few are but most are still pretty dark green that's why i didn't harvest the whole plant already
    i think it might have to do with me giving them less then 12 hours of light in flowering.
    slowed down actual plant growth because it was just producing thc for 14 hours of darkness
    and only had 10 hours of light to grow
    but thats just my guess
    i would love to here other peoples opinions
