Rusty I just watched that vid, the guys plants look like crap, he's touching the bulb he's about to switch on with his bare hands... I wouldn't take anything that bloke says to heart... He doesn't really look like he knows what he's doing....

I won't be fucking my ballasts or bulbs like that.... :-)

That's a good point Lacey, just becuase it can be done, doesn't mean it isn't causing damage, or that it even should be done..

Wat size pots are you using? If ur pots are quite large then u will get dry spots in ur soil, meaning the roots won't use up the whole pot & they will get prematurely root bound..
Time them for an even flood & c how long that takes.
i can hear the water draining into my res , but i was thinking maybe i might of been keeping the pot to wet

I'm harvesting another wet pound of buds tonight. There is still another wet pound left on the plants which I will crop on monday.
I took clones from the lower popcorn but it looks fucking ugly. I made 11 clones, hopefully I can get at least one mum. I usually have a 99% strike rate with clones but I've never cloned flowering cuts before. I used you mobile to take pics this time, sorry about the quality (or lack thereof).

Whats up Rusty. I have seen some clones taken from a flowering mum and they seem to branch out like mad when you put them in veg. Lets hope that they were not taken too late in flower. Anyways looking good man enjoy the smoke.

They were taken exactly 8 weeks after flowering. I'm hoping that they will go the same way as the last few re-grows I've done (They do branch like mad). I'm just hoping for some half decent growing tips to form over the next couple of weeks or else I'll have to wait for the remaining rootstock to re-veg under 18/6.

Nice job Rusty, looks like you've got some work to do...
Every time I take a trimming break, I sticky up my keyboard with even more resin. Before I started trimming I pulled all of the larger fan leaves off everything by hand before I started clipping off the sugar leaves. Its helped speed things up a bit and I can just turf the fan leaves that don't have the build up of trichs that the sugar leaves, tips and popcorn has. Trimming a good crop is kinda fun once you get past the sticky fingers, cramped up hands and grumpy missus.

In a couple of days I'm going to make a batch of grinder hash. Its easier and less wasteful than other methods I've seen.

I wish I was doing a perpetual harvest. I only used 1 X 400w MH, 1 X 400w HPS and about 190w of 26/18w 6700k/2500k fluros on 8 plants with an average height if 600mm. It was a total mess from start to finish. I'll nut out everything that I've done right/wrong at the end of my journal and hopefully come up (with help from RIU) with a better method of growing for next time.

I have learned more in the last two months on RIU than I had learned from growing unassisted for the previous three years. Hopefully I will have more than one "arm" sized side cola like some of the people here have been producing.

Sorry for rambling. Tonight is beer and bongsmilie night.

What do you do to make grinder hash Rusty?
Use a coffee grinder. In my circles we call it a moolie. Using a "moolie" to mull weed creates a build-up of resin in the grinder over time. I just run everything through the grinder until I'm left with a pile of bone white powder and a pile of green powder. I roll the powder up into a snake and press it into a plastic pocket on the outside of a ciggie packet. Then just like the tutorials I : Wrap in news paper, wet, bake in an oven at 75°c for 40 mins (or until the paper dries), knead, wet, repeat 2X.

Sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon for a fruitcake taste(using "grotek™ blueberry Final Flush©" . I'll do a step by step when the grief and popcorn dries out.

I am such a light weight. A six pack of Heineken, once a fortnight gets me half cut now. I really couldn't be fucked chopping any more tonight. Does anyone feel like giving a nigger a hand?!
