thanks homer, i just want something growing in there, it sucks so bad sitting here looking at the box knowing theres nothing in it but air, LoL.
I know the feeling.... just got back from one of my medicinal grow areas for the last harvest due to some legal issues can't even help any patients at this moment so right now I was just looking at a beautiful grow room that won't be put to good use for some time most likely... sad.

yea, it's the AK47. I'm not sure what breeder mine came from. a friend got a clone from an old guy about 15 years ago and we have been keeping it alive since! It is my favorite strain that i have growing... although i didn't get to try the diesel yet..... it is by far more potent than any of my other plants!!! 2-3 hits and I'm toasted!!! and I'm not a lightweight!!

dude, that must suck!!! I know how additive this hobby gets.... when are you thinking of ordering some autos?

like i said to CD, this is one very additive hobby.... it's like a pet, they are living things that don't speak... when they are gone you miss them!!!

I hope you guys get up and rollin sometime soon!!

I hear ya bro.... it gets busy!! plus this will give you some time to pick the perfect strain!!!! There are way to many to choose from.... i was just looking at maybe adding a new one but i don't know what to choose. i want so many... the top of my list is barneys LSD.... or maybe a SLH.... IDK

Hell yea i can't wait!!! i got about 2-3 weeks before i can start outdoors... it will probably be more like 4 weeks!... but i have a very sweet sunny spot so it don't take em long to get taller than me!!!

I could plant at the end of this month but I just plan to keep the reveg's that are outside right now alive to reveg and put most of my clones out midsummer.

That is the best way to do it, then they are larger, stronger plants.




Well guys I have a dilemma and I was hoping I could get some help.... My light cycle is currently set up so they turn on at 11:00 AM and turn off 11:00PM. I want to flip it around, I want them on at 10:00pm and off at 10:00am.
I was planning on giving them 24 hours of dark to do this rather than 24 hours of light.

What do you guys suggest? keeping in mind I have plants at all stages of flowering. I was thinking about doing this wednesday, that way i would start the dark period for this weeks harvest. Give me all of your opinions!!!!!!!!!!!

i would just reset the timer to 10am right before they go off at 11pm, i wouldnt think an extra 11 hours of light would hurt?? or is the 23 hours of dark better?

I would guess 23 hours of dark would be better. I think arch did that and possibly micro.grower with good results.

here is another small Blueberry that just went into soil. This is a clone of the reveg plant from page 2. the DNA lives on!!!! i thought i lost her... she holds sentimental value to me!!!



Next we have a wonder woman. she is the same age as the WW in the first photo... only she is three times the size..... looking healthy to! i expect to flower her in another 2-3 weeks if she keeps growing like this.



Here is a diesel that has been growing for a while now, she is growing slow. she is strong with lots of tight side growth. I transplanted her just after the photos. the second shot is of her roots... healthy and happy for a new home.




This is a pic of my only bubblelicious left. she has been sick and healthy and sick again... as soon as i get her cleaned up again i will take some clones and put her in the flower box. i hope it is within two weeks!



and these pics are of another diesel that i just put in the flower box and tonight will be her first night. she is the thickest and bushiest plant i ever grew indoors. I think my light situation will not be enough to penetrate her growth. I'll find out soon!!!




and here update on my diesel today.... I trimmed some of the bad leaves off and checked her trics. she is getting very cloudy and of coarse what kind of an update would it be if I didn't post some porn.... sorry for the bleached tops, a lesson in what you shouldn't do with an LED light!! haha




Bump!!!! Beautiful stuff Stoney! the bleach tops are awesome!

Decisions, decisions...

I would guess 23 hours of dark would be better. I think arch did that and possibly micro.grower with good results.
I think i remember arch doing that... i also remember somebody else suggesting it to a user. i will research it some more... it is a sensitive thing to search.

thanks for the bump dude!!!! you think those bleach tops look good?!?!?! i feel embarrassed by them, i think they take the appeal away.... they will be on chop down night in two weeks!!! white tops and all... it's only been a day or two but i swear they are bigger already!

I have had to change light cycles in such a manner and I do my best to do it slowly by 1/2 and hour to an hour a day takes a while but no stress issues.

Thanks for the personal info Hippy!!! it's funny, I was just reading a thread about that, and moderator fdd2blk said it would be fine in up to 2 hour intervals.... then again i found threads with users serapis and jerry garcia saying that the 24 hours of dark doesn't cause any stress at all. i kind of wanted to have it done this week but maybe i will opt for the gradual technigue... still up in the air.

i switched light cycles from daytime light on to night time light on.i did longer darkness then lights back on at night like i wanted them. i did this- this grow. but i must say i had my timer on bypass for 2 days straight! no dark for 2 days.this happened at 6 or7 wks flower this grow....no problems. i think ur safe either way.

thats the whole thing if ya got time I find pacing it out is the best way to go but if you have to change it quick I find it is best to do it like a bandaid quick and in one go switching it around by 4 or 5 hours a day will likely cause a hermification (or in the case of one strain it goes into flower for a week... weird strain)

best of luck dude
