[tiddstick]

had a plant herm on us. its not a bad thing, Right.
we believe we have some lemon skunk, orange crush, and...?

looks good. i would say that some perhaps could be ready, but others need a couple more weeks. not quite the crystal formation as you see on the gumtrees, but interesting none-the-less. can't wait for the smoke report!

 

[tiddstick]

yeah, ill let u know.

lol, where are the fan leaves? The buds look small for 8 weeks, but I grow indica dom strains. Sativa dom, with no fan leaves?... Good luck.

 

[tiddstick]

yeah rasputin71 i know there r know fan leaves. we won't make that mistake again.

its really suprising how many new growers will do that to there plants, thinking i dont want all these leaves in the way. then then pluck the plant like a thanksgiving turkey and end up with scrawny buds and wounder why.

by the way I'm not one of uncle ben minions, i also pluck some but not all the power leaves

 

[rasputin71]

I also prune quite a bit, nodes and fan leaves. The nodes I prune most of the ones below the canopy that cant make the stretch but I try to leave most of the leaves unless they are touching the dirt, in my way when watering, or just generally piss me off.

Here is one I pruned yesterday, about 5 days into flower. She will get pruned and lollipop'd once more, in about another week.

i see you have the smart pots ,
how do you like them?

i just bought some

 

[rasputin71]

I love the small ones for veg, and the big ones perform well for flower, but they are a pain in the ass to spin under the lights like I do every day or when carrying them over to my rain station. I am going to use them for veg still but I am switching back to my 3ga DIY Air-Pails for flowering.

looking good, what r DIY Air-Pails?

The pail/pot on the left of the 2nd picture. Take any pail, drill a bunch of big holes in it, and line it with some landscape fabric or similar. I use 2 layers of 'pet-tough' window screen.

[tiddstick]

[rasputin71]

169 grams wet from how many plants?

 

[DrFever]

i guess that kinda sucked chalk it up as a learning process next time try smaller pots other then 20 litre pails no need for fancy pots
fight to keep your plants green till harvest with all leaves only taking lower dryed up leafs also important to FEED FEED FEED in flower
i get 2360 grams dry per 2000 watt light area and never take leafs off other then dead ones heres pics week 4 / 5

 

[tiddstick]

fucken a dude, nice plants. i hope to see something like that in the future. def. chalked it up as a learning experiance.

 

[tiddstick]

169 dry from 9 plants. i don't weigh anything wet.

Yea I use to do that. I tell you the buds would have been bigger if he did not chop them.
