I guess Ill be the first to post. You can see the leaves yellowing from being flushed. For whatever reason this strain starts to look like like it getting burned after being flushed but thats just the way it is...weird. Oh and sorry about the cell phone pic, I didnt have a good camera back then.

[Arising Green]

I'll submit 2 pics of my '08 crop of Grow Doc's "Angel Dust".....

[greenisland]

thats funny both of our pics have the same yellowing in the plant. I would expect urs was from flushing too. Nice pic man, I just realised from looking at the pics again you can see that big ol' nug on the left snapped the branch! It continued to grow just fine though. And it was some awesome smoke too! I love this thread!

[Arising Green]

lol...Maybe this should just be the 'best flushed plant of the month!'

Yea that branch is snapped! Just noticed it too.
Peace and POT!

[greenisland]

Yeah, funny stuff! It totally could be. But honestly people who dont flush their plants for atleast two weeks definnetally dont end up getting as smooth and tasty stuff as if they were to flush it. And its always a bummer when your expecting to get some super good strain and then you get it and it looks super dank but then you go to smoke it and it doesnt even burn right because it wasnt flushed properly, yuuk!! Lets see some more flushed plant picks guys!

[Mr Smith]

I got a couple people that says I should enter the contest with my White Label Doublegum. Seeds were 20bucks. They were worth 20 smakeroos. Smells like bubblegum the 1st 4 weeks of flower then just sweet bud like very pleasant. Taste if very sweet with small bite of maybe fruit like? Its kinda hard on the lungs and the stone is very strong but last and hr with just a buzz after. Plant grows like a slow builder, buds are very compacted. Plants are medium to heavy feeders.




She was flushed with florakleen and water 2 to 3 days before harvest.
There are more pics plus macros in this thread.

lol, its yellowing too!!! lol, fits right in! Are you using the ebb and gro set that you have as your avatar mr smith? I love those ebb and gro sets. So easy and user friendly. What kind of a yeild did you get from those plants? It looks just like a garden I know sooo welll, lol. Nice pics Mr smith!!!

[Mr Smith]

2 to 3 ounces dry weight, some were 1 ouncers plus but most were between 2 and 3. This plant is from a ebb and grow like in the avatar yes. I also used a diy multibucket system before I bought the ebbngro.

[Soniq420]

That's some serious work on display

[greenisland]

Nice man! They look incredible! The one thing that I didnt like abt the ebb and gro set however was that it says you can expand to like 48 pots I beleive, yet that is not very easy. Your just going to need to change the reservoir like almost every other day when the plants get big. I was also wondering how that staking works for you, and when do you plant the stakes (early on to avoid hurting roots or later when you know where best to place the stakes? Just curiose because I have had less than perfect luck keeping stakes in place with the buckets full of hydroton. Unless I put it through one of the holes in the bottom of the first bucket. You know what I will just start personal messaging you so we dont clog this thread up.

[Mr Smith]

Stakes were placed in buckets when plants were transfered into buckets to prevent root damage. Buckets are overfilled with hydrotron to prevent algae growth and to help hold the stakes in place until root mass keeps it very rigid. There were grown with 2 1000w hpss. If you have any more questions just ask me in the doublegum pic thread. I know all sorts of tricks with this machine. I'll even do a ebb grow show sometime next month.
