I didn't expect the two more mature plants to do much - thought I had shocked em to death. They are really blowing up. The small guy in the middle seems to be recovering as well. If this grow goes well I have a feeling I'll be pulling quite a bit of some really nice smoke - considerably better than this last grow.

Honestly out of the year I've been growing......even doing this to clones. The one's that are abused the hardest during veg almost seem to monster crop when flowered.


edit: I wonder if it's because at the time of the abuse, it stops it's focus on absolutely everything but growing roots. It would make sense...the more roots it has the easier it is to uptake the nutrients it needs to fix itself.

growing fast jedi master.

man i have leaned alot from you :)
I learned a lot too, nice to have you around Gastanker... I should harvest the Blue Mystic within 4-5 days I am thinking, the next grow won't be as impressive, so far 3 girls though, and 2 of them are Chemos!! the others I lost track of the strain, but it will be either chemo or conkushion and should be obvious as they flower. Got 2 males for sure so 4 more to go... (how long can I keep the males in the room with no risk of pollination?) I have a hard time killing them,... thinking of making seeds but it will be too much work, my holidays should be over in about a month. After that I will have just enough time to water them.

by the way I like when you make the timelapse pics with the dates

Possibly. Maybe they are just overachievers - they have something to prove and want to give me a big "Fuck you dude, I can be a good plant too if you just don't fuck me up". :)

Up until the pods start to open up. You can always cut a flowering branch and put it in a cup of water on a windowsill somewhere else and it will continue to flower out. Good way to collect just a bit of pollen. Use a paint brush to apply it to the branches you want seeds from.

You having mite problems again, or just a precaution?
I know I had them in veg and I dunked those plants several times before they went into the big pot. The other day I thought I saw a few moving around on one of the already damaged leaves so I'm taking no chances. I find it a good practice to spray throughout veg regardless of any signs of them - best offense is a good defense or something like that :)

I was waiting to take that last plant out, this week I will do a habaneros pepper spray!!, none of them started to bud yet so it will be a week long treatment after I clean the room...

I think I'll be flipping to 12/12 tomorrow. Really curious as to how large they will get with such a short veg and although I am afraid it might hurt my end yield there is no other way of finding out.

where did you get that giant smart pot? thing is bad ass.
local hydro store has a huge selection of two different brands from 1gal to 250. If you ask they can order 500s and I want to say 1000g. :) I'm sure you can order them off the internet as well. I paid $15 for mine so don't pay much more than that.

I'm sure you will see a nice out come √ The big plants will yield big enough to make up for the small plants. Money is running tight right now, so I won't be able to send anything out for a little while. sorry :/

That's what I am hoping. If I hit 2oz per larger plant and 3/4oz per small plant that's over 10oz which will make me happy. Remind me to shoot you some of these Chocolope if they end up being what they are supposed to.

Plants are looking good man! And nice smart pot that thang is huuuuge! lol
Thanks. Big pots really do help imo :)

Yup still moving. I'm flipping early for several reasons but that is definitely one of them. I assuredly do not want the place being shown while I have a tent full of bud. I'm really curious though as to how they will grow out with such a short veg - I've seen 12/12 from seed plants yield between .2oz and 4oz ranging from 4" high to 6'. If I can pull a decent yield from plants started early I might have to adjust my grow style. It should be a good experiment.
