Older - Wiser & Stoned Enough To Try Hydro - Look What Happened!

Growing great.

Wow!

Things are really romping along now! Any thoughts on when you will switch to flowering?

February I quit drinking the day I found out I had end stage liver disease. Not a drop since or so much as a craving. I owe that too canibus. No doubt in my mind.

Congrats on quitting. It has been over 3 years for me. Divine intervention lifted the desire. However without my cannabis I'm sure I'd be back in meetings or drinking again. Hold the line, and grow grow grow!

Okay, well Mono, I don't really know. Since I wiped the slate clean on X-mass eve. I'm technically in the second week of veg. (nute-wise anyway) So as long as they don't shooting for the roof, I'm saying 2 weeks.
It's been 48 hours and the girls are really filling in with new tops! That LST was cool as hell! Not really sure how long to leave them tied back. Also, can anyone confirm what I've herd about growth during flowering? I hear the plants will double in height from when you turn them to flower. True?
Well anywho,

Wll, here are some pics of how the LST looks after 48 hrs.

Thanks for tuning in, folks,grow-on! Andy.

And now for something completely different:

Whatever shall I do with a natural spring on my property? It seems to be uphill from a nice clearing behind the 15 foot tall rose bushes.
I remember finding this well as a kid and never paid much attension to it. lost track of where it was. Well, while out for a drive in the woods the other day....... BAM! lol I'm thinking late spring, organic, raised beds outside. Just a few. Don't want the choppers finding them.
Well I was thrilled to find it and I may just have to start a summer journal too!!

It looks like your reservoir is uncovered? Need to cover it or you will get algae growing fast.
Otherwise looking good.

 

[McCdive]

Not sure what you mean OttawaGreen. Res is covered. I didn't have it covered about 6 weeks ago, but fixed that as soon as someone brought it up. Thanks for peeking in thow.
Thanks, Andy.

 

[OttawaGreen]

Oh sorry did not read all posts. Glad to hear allready fixed

 

[Mono]

They are loving the lst buddy! So long as the ties are loose around the stem you can keep them tied down until harvest . Also, you are correct, during 'stretch' plants will double in height, sometimes tripple during the first two to three weeks of 12/12.

The only real way to control stretch is by more low stress training (lst) during the first half of flowering. In fact, lst can be done right up to harvest if you desired

And on a side note, lol, that outdoor spot looks perfect for a couple of outdoor trees . Could be looking at a kilo or two of bud come autum...

Cool on the spring. There hard to find outdoors aslong as you dont plant them in rows lol.

The girl in the middle is doing some good catch up. Lots of growth. Fuzzies are coming out here and there.
So here are a couple pics....
sORRY, BUT A COUPLE are turned sideways. Editing and posting pics on 420 is a bitch!

Don't forget to use the link above and check out my sickly pics. Maybe you've seen this..... Thanks All, Andy.

 

[Rifleman]

Not sure if you've seen these but I hope they can help you.

 

[Mono]

Hope things get sorted soon!

 

[OttawaGreen]

Looks like bugs! Do you see stuff crawling on them?
Pictures under white light would be easier to see though. I keep a big white cfl for natural coloured pics....

 

[McCdive]

Yea OttawaGreen, it's bugs. Mites. I sprayed this afternoon and will agian in 3-5 days. I'll kill 'em!

 

[McCdive]

Thanks riffle an & Mono. Yep got mites. I sprayed today and will pick up some cal mag in a day or two. I was just at the Hydro store today. Grrrr.

 

[OttawaGreen]

Those fucking bastards were a bitch to get rid of for me when I had them maybe five years ago. I traded clones with a guy and he gave me a clone with them. Careful if you trade clones with people Who are only growing casually.

 

[McCdive]

Good to know, but I've had these three clones for something like 5 weeks and they just showed up. I think I got them early. I'll post a few pics in a little while.

 

[Mono]

Ahh disaster! Not good to hear you got mites! Good luck with the battle
