  1. Those plants are stacking up fast and frosty man! :yummy: you've definitely got the green thumb :D Those plants are radiating health!! :hello:
     
  2. Seriously my man those are huge. Cannot wait to see them stack up. They will fall over from all the dense ass buds!

    Hope you get better soon mate. Keep us in the loop.
     
  3. Thanks for the compliments everyone, means a great deal!

    Yeah they are much MUCH fuller now. Wait till tomorrow when I do the Day 30 update, those pictures were from 4 days ago. I have to put in bamboo stakes today as they are already falling over!! xD

    Can't wait to see how a heavy yielding strain will produce! Gonna try my best to get ahold of some of that GFBA I've been gawking over recently. She just looks so DAMN delicious!

    Hey Pharmer,
     
    Sorry for your loss.... I feel ya on the kidney stones just dealt with one in December... Everything is looking fantastic!  What are your impressions on the lights so far? I have been running mine at 20 -24 inches and they are just doing an outstanding job.Keep it green.

    Thank you & welcome!!
     
     
    Oh man I am sorry to hear you had to go thru that! I found out mine were oxalate stones, had 5-6mm abrasions in my tubes connecting my kidneys to my bladder (ureters). Caused some wicked bleeding, never would I wish this on anyone! My grandmother has had 3 kids and also has kidney stones regularly, having to have one removed with surgery. She says it is WAY worse than child birth and would much rather have another kid! haha xD
     
    I absolutely love these lights!! Nothing but great things to say about everything I have seen! My first flower run with them I kept the light @30" throughout the entire run. This time though I let them acclimate to the intensity and kept lowering it a few inches each time. Right now the light in my flower area is at 20" away & in the veg area it is 32" away & doing just fine!     
     
  7. Flower update 2/20, Day 30:
     
    They have started leaning hard! haha, I have to lift them up off of the other plant and let some light back thru!

    So I took a bamboo shoot and stuck it in the soil and attached the branches to it via a velcro plant tie to support the branches.

    Picked up a few things needed to make canna-caps for a patient who greatly needs them. Picked up some Lecithin granules, 00 Gelatin caps, & MCT oil. The patient is heavily allergic to coconut oil so I decided to use MCT oil instead. Now all that's left to do is get some Dry Ice to make the hash, make the oil & get some pipettes to put the oil in the caps.

  8. I feel ya on the stones.. I had a nurse who was in the room turn around and say almost the same thing ... She said I have had three kids and stones are worse...Ladies are looking nice!  Would love to make some capsules any good guides you can suggest?
     
  9. Yeah man I'll actually be posting detailed guides as I make them. Going to be making three different variations of the oil. One that is inactive so the patient can take it during the day time with no feelings of bring "high". One that is mildly active for higher pain/inflammation needs. Then one that is for bed that you take 45-60min before hand to knock you out! Giving you a great nights sleep leaving you well rested in the morning!

    All the information I learned from one or two journals here on GC. However I used this site as a form of 'table of contents' to navigate thru those threads.

    http://www.badkatscannapharm.com

    The site will re direct you to the threads here on GC. I can't recommend picking thru this info enough! I am still going thru to learn all the science and ins and outs. (Part of my OCD, have to learn as much about a subject of interest as possible!) Once I feel as tho I've learned enough I will begin making the caps and posting detailed pic tutorials. There is a LOT of info to pick thru on that forum, it was a bit much to process at first. Most of the into is spread here or there, so I figured I'd just compile it all.

    I am also going to be making a glycerin tincture that I can use in my Vape Pen for traveling! Lots of fun stuff in store!
     
  10. If you need a brain to pick on badkittysmile's canna caps, Treedogg is our O section expert on them :)

    Temps have been dropping kinda low at night. When I say low I mean like 59 degrees lol. She's got purple leaves how awesome is that. I'm loving this. She is now 58 days into flower. I still say she's got another 3 weeks in her at least.

    So happy.
     
  12. I was going to ask ..what do you do when your plants leaves do not turn yellowish after 9 weeks of flowering..do you wait or check the the tric's to see if its ready...this soil i used was a bad mistake  ..it was loaded with little blue balls of time released fert..i flushed it out with like a 50 gallons of water already
     
  13.  
     
    She is looking killer man!! Don't you just love how purple the leaves get, its almost mystic looking! The reds and the purples haha I swear I could stare at my girls for days xD
     
    With another 3 weeks left, pfftttt! You'll be more than pleased with the end results, she is already big and resin covered. Usually the last 2-3 weeks is focused on bulking up/getting more dense and producing those lovely glands! Gonna be a great yield and smoke for you man!  
     
     

    Ya know I have read of quite a few reasons as to why leaves yellow. Sometimes plants just wont yellow at all & stay perfectly green all the way up to chop even past 100days in flower! xD So honestly I am going to have to say it varies depending on you plants genetic traits and then of coarse the soil and environmental conditions.  
     
    A little info about your style of growing and pictures are always helpful, I don't mind any photo bombs so drop anything you'd like in here! That way we can help diagnose anything that may be a problem. Are you noticing any other problems? Are the leaves abnormally dark, as that could be a nutrient issue (or to much of it). 
     
    The very first soil I EVER planted anything in was using those same time release ferts your mentioning. Tho mine were a weird green/aquamarine color. With that soil I had so many freaking problems its not even funny! Every plant I grew in it tho was a lush green even if it had problems xD couldn't wrap my head around it and then I found out those little green balls add to the "lush dark green" color of the plant.  So I am ass-uming that perhaps this could be why you haven't seen any yellowing leaves yet? But again there is a lot of variables to take into account so If I could have some more info on your style of growing and some pictures it would be extremely helpful!
     
    Just to get it out there tho, if you are curious as to when to harvest your plants. Most people I have seen go by the coloring in the trichs themselves. So if a person wants a more cerebral "head" high they will usually pull it when the trichome is milky/white. Or if you are looking for that more sedated effect and "couch lock" people advocate waiting until they are mostly amber in color. Once I have bud "on tap" (so to speak, haha) and don't have to worry about getting a harvest out so I don't run out of medication. I will be letting them go actually a little past that amber so that certain properties start degrading into a higher CBN profile for the more Medicinal medicines and tinctures. But that's a topic all in itself xD
     
    Sorry, hope that helps answer your question at least a little bit.

    This is the reason why I subscribed..ive only got about 4 grows under my belt..i looked at the trics and they are still clear like RO water..these GC took a long time to get 12 " high..they were an expreriment under some 107 watt LED  that didnt do
    much for growth..so after i put it undr  200W cfl and it started kicking butt..so i flipped to 12/12...and i got like 10 days to go
    on the calendar..Vigoro Organic Soil from Home Depot.... general hydroponics Go Box organic...low doses...
    but from reading your threads ive learned a ton in a little amount of time..awesomeness  thank you for the time
    2 pics in my gallery.http://forum.grasscity.com/gallery/image/152559-img-20150207-171500077/
     
  17. Dang man, that is the second time I've seen someone's Green Crack be so darn resin covered! Gonna need to look into running this one eventually!

    Haha before I lose focus! The hairs on the buds are still white, now while I'm no Green Crack expert I'd say it still has quite a few weeks left. Looks like she can still stack up and dense up quite a lot! What date did you switch to 12/12 & where did you get your seeds? This will give us an idea on how far along you are and how much you still have to go.

    As for the picture posting, are you on a mobile app or a computer? For a mobile there is a + symbol on the bottom left when making a reply. Click that and it will take you to a "full reply" version. Then on the top right corner will be three small stacked squares, click that and go to either attach picture (from mobile phones gallery) or attach image link then paste the link to your picture.

    For a desktop you should be able to click full reply and then their will be a bunch of picture icons on the top of where you type your message. Find the one to browse your photos, click it. It will upload in a small form and stay at the bottom, from their click add to post and bam your done! Haha sorry I couldn't be more detailed
     
  18. 1220 is killin the gc in a scrogg setup aswell i love gc beautiful strain
    looks great bet the fragrance is planetary!👍👍
     
  19. The plant in the first picture looks much younger in development than the ones in 2 & 3. Those two look like they have been going maybe 40-45 days and could use another 2-3 weeks to finish up. The first picture looks like it still has a ways to go. The harvest time on the website says 60-65 days for your Green Crack. If you know the day you flipped the lights to 12/12, I can help better figure out when is the best time to chop them. Again sorry I couldn't be more help, just need a bit more info :)

    Other than that tho they are looking great!
