  1. hey all! So it has been a long two and a half weeks and i have just returned home from winter break. I had my roomate take care of the girls while i was gone. He didnt take care of them like i would but they are doing great still with some minor issues that i can fix. They doubled in size and are now up to the top of my chest. I am very suprised with how much growth happend when i was gone. I am about to prepare to flower them. here are some pictures, i will post more once i get the room cleaned up.

  2. FINALLY the flowering phase has began!! I know its a little bit late but i cant be perfect school and traveling has kept me quite busy.

    My buddy taught me how to supper crop and after a long 5hour night i got my plants trimmed and tied up for flowering. I switched my metal halide bulb and put in my hps bulb. I have uploaded some pics from before i trimmed and after. I dont think i did the best job trimming and supper cropping but it was my first time and i learned alot about what i did wrong and what i did correct. So with that said i expect my next super crop job to be much better. It was very late by the time i started to trim and super crop which made it much more difficult. The stems were very thick and sturdy so bending them was a bit rough on the plant. I gave each branch alot of support so it could heal up as quick as possible. There were a few branches that i super cropped that i should not have, but they did not die just need some time to recover. I probly stunted some of them which isnt good but i still expect to get a pretty good yield.

    I switched the light to 12/12 3 days ago, im not sure how long it takes the plant to realize that its time to flower and begin growing buds, but i will be sure to post pics as soon as it starts.

    I have been rotating my plants 180 degrees every morning when the light turns on so that each branch will be receiving a more equal amount of light than if i were to keep them in one position the whole time. Im not to sure if this a good or bad idea, i think its good but any comments would be appreciated.

    It's good..I turn mine 1/4 everyday

    It takes 7-10 days to notice flowering after you do the 12/12 thing....Most people start their count from first sign of flowering and not at the change of the light cycle
     
  5. Thanks for the response Cola always like to hear what u have to say.

  7. It has officially started about 3-4 days ago buds are forming all over the place! il post pics when i get a chance
     
  8. Hey all, so far everything is going great better than i ever expected it too. My plants are super healthy no over nuting or under. Buds are forming way faster than i thought they would too. All which is great but, they are starting to get freaking HUGE. I have my light raised as high as it can go, maybe i can get it like 5 inches higher thats about it. My one plant is as tall as i am and is getting too close to the light. I can start to see signs of heat stress from it being to close. And since it has one been flowering for one week i know these bad girls are guna get even bigger. Suggestions would be great! il get some new pics up tonight
     
  9. Picture update.

  18. Real close to a harvest man. Maybe 2-3 more weeks...The White Widow will most likely be the last plants(9-12 weeks) to ripen. Not sure on the Crystal and Ice....
    Awesome looking plants and has satisfied my curiosity as to using Aurora nutrients with coco...I can see it dose do the job....
     
  19. yeaa thats about what i was thinking too i cannot wait to chop em down. The strains im currently using are crystal and white widow x black domina. The plant that split is crystal the other two are the hybrids. When i ordered seeds the white widow x black domina were bonus seeds so i used them first. I googled black domina and its like a hybrid of a bunch of plants so those two are like muts, and u can tell because they grow very different. One is short and grows all compact to itself while the other is just the opposite lol. Buds look similar tho.
    I am very happy i chose to use aurora nutes. Never once have i burned my plants using the reccomended strength, they are simple to mix and cheap. The only other nutes i have ever had to buy was some cal/mag cuz i use r.o water and i only used that during veg i havnt added it since they turned to flower
