Like to start off by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas And a happy New Year!!!!

Well I am finally on track on what I wanted to do. I got 4 plants flowering in my 2X2X4.5' high tent. It seems to be doing OK . As you will see in the pictures I have a little manicuring to do. My Ph was a Little low. It was at 5.8 now at 6 .They Are coming back to there natural color but some leafs will have to go.
I going to go more with the G-13 this time. I am a little angry at my stupidity. I had 2 females that I got of the net. They were a little different at end flowering stage. One was turning purple and leafs where a little darker Logged it in my Photo Gallery if you want check it out Here
The other was more like a kushy looking plant Lite in color and had a pinkish hue. It was the purple I wanted because it's smoke was a hard kicker and a mild Cinnamon taste with a hint of Pine but smelt like apple and it taste a little like it too.
But as my luck has it I got the wrong cuttings I picked the wrong mom and I gave the good one away to a friend. Time I figured it out we were smoking her. To bad she would of made it for a breeder. I would of called her Apple Cinnamon but now I just got 5 plants that will be good, don't get me wrong, I will smoke it and love it just the same ,but it just won't have that spatiality to it.
I did chop down the smallest one ,needed smoke for the Holiday's and it worked pretty good. A little young tasting but it is taste a mild piny sweet spicy taste like other g-13 I tasted.Very close but just not right.So I do have 4 more seeds so hoping I will get something close or better the next go.
SO here is a brake ya!!!! Photos

G-13 1-2 weeks to go before harvest

I really hoping that the t5's will be enough to flower my plants to the end. Because if it works out .I will Get another small tent and will put off 4 every month. But time will tell.

I seeded them on nov3/2010 and it took 4 days for all to sprout.
So 7 weeks 5 days from seed to now and they are all past 14" high. I have them in 2 gal pots,done this day before flower. They work pretty good, they are round so there is hardly any root bound showing on transplants or pot change.I find square ones you do have excessive root bound you have to take care of before transplant.I start in 1l pots was using square but found round ones at an yard sale before the snow came.
What I do, first I clean my hands with disinfect soap an rinse very well.
3 days after a good watering With humic acid this helps roots take in vitall nutrients pretty much a soil conditioner.
I pull the plant out of the pot and hold it at the very bottom before it goes in soil. While holding it I will gently brush all around the sides until the white look goes away or you see just roots end ,but be careful a very little is allot.One brush with the hand is usually good.Now at the bottom cup hand and crap bottom lightly and pull down. You have done this right when you can put your hand up middle of plant in side the core. If you do this careful enough you will loose hardly any soil just over grown roots. The benefits are amazing I promise. If you want to see what you have done after chopping your plant down do the same process and look at soil there should not be any big roots and the roots are more webbed you have to shake it pretty hard before the soil will fall out.Usually the stem will brake and you got a mess:goodluck:.
From 1l to 1 gallon you should see massive roots starting at bottom it is time.I always just use water on first watering with H1. Soil is lightly fertilize ,OK just a couple of drops of super thrive.I don't use super thrive transplant before transplant for flower.
I grow by the roots usually now .When roots are heavy in the 1 gallon it is time to flower.The one gallon you should see the webbing happening less big roots at bottom.
This does take a bit of practice at the smaller pot stages you use more care. when you do this your plants grow pretty thick and more bud build. Keep her working keep her strong don't let her get lazy.:tokin::goodluck:

I start to flower on Thursday late so I will call it on Friday Dec24|10
