wow! never dissappoint! those things are monsters! i cant believe ur getting colas that big using 800watts of cmh thats crazy! and that massive cola in the background on pic 8 is breath taking!
the cola in pic 8 is actually 2 colas, it's the angle that makes it look like one, you can see em both in pic #'s 2 & 10

All I had to do was see this and I hit 'place order'.:!:
So General RM3, I have Mel Frank's old well read bible, now these 2 coming. Is that kit the proper training manual to over-grow the cash crop commercial growers? I want the best meds I can grow myself. When can I add the SIGNED copy of yours to complete my set?:-P
Those plants look just great. You have some very lucky people you are providing for.:leaf:

speaking of the book...
can we get a update on the fermentation chamber?
this last run is done, I managed to go 5 days instead of 4 :) so much for slowing it down, I actually learned a lot from this run. The ambient temp & humidity affect it and my patients GDP had hermied and gone to seed (clone only strain so he is stoked actually) it fermented differently can only guess that the hormone (chemical) changes from goiing to seed had something to do with it, it cured but the taste was not as strong? the 2 agent orange buds came thru great, trichs went to 40 to 50% amber. The little pop corn buds did not do as well, some even dried and got brittle, it definately needs moisture to do its thing. managed to save another 2 oz's of the popcorn :) and they turned out great and got a bunch of grinder hash for RMH :) I smoked some last night and it is very nice :) prolly what I will do with popcorn from now on :)

It would be nice if it was automatic and actually a friend and I are talking about programming a circuit to autodial it based on sensor readings, not sure it is the best way to go though? the bottom line is it has done it's thing and worked in every test (can't wait for my next harvest) also I rotated the piles on the shelves cause the bottom one was closer to the heat, next run I am raising the shelves so none are in the lower section, it's either that or rotate more often?

one lousy day damnit LOL once the colder weather sets in I may be able to do better, but it will require much lower ambient temps, just have to keep playin with it

Not sure what he meant, but I actually understood him to be asking bout the chapter of the book regarding how to build the fermentation chamber, or how it works shall I say. I could be wrong though

That's some crazy color daniels, great picture too!

Lots of Bud Porn :hump:

you know you have a good problem when you have to tie your freakin buds up in week 5 cause they are falling over :) I took pics with a pop can so you can see how big they are. Gonna be busy tomorrow so I figured I'd get these up tonight

Enjoy!
hey riddleme hows it going. I got a couple of questions if you dont mind answering them. First off, i was wondering, are them mostly indica or sativas, because mine are 6 weeks into flower and they look about the same but are heavy indicas. I was worried about them, i thought they looked a little behind. I will post pics tomarrow, and maybe you can tell me waht you think. Im doing hydro, but i would like to know, when do i know to start flushing? is there a way to tell when they are getting close to done, besides the trichomes? Most of myt plants have completely white hairs, but some have hairs turning. I havent started my flush, but i know i should do it ten days. Let me know what you think. Also, how many plants do you have, how tall are they, and how much do you think they will yield, apiece? that is also something else im trying to figure out. Thanks alot for your help, awesome grow journal btw...

They are all crosses with both indica and sativa but are considered indica dominant, though this tilders plant is showing a more sativa pheno, (I call my Northern Lights Special, Tilders) the Northern Lights #1 is an afgani thai cross and the step child is a bigbud/ purple erkle cross

as for flushing you came to wrong guy, I don't flush, you can read my opinion in the Wow Riddle has a question thread, it is a great dission thread on the topic of flushing. In order for the plant (buds) to properly ferment it requires N therefore I am a keep em green (till the end) grower and I do not flush in the end, I do however flush every time I water :)

there are 4 plants they are a bit over 5 feet tall (would have been 7 feet if I had not supercropped em) and I do not concern myself with yields, kinda like counting your eggs before they are hatched
