Yeah man she looks way greener I tthink could be my imagination though.

I doubt the nitrogen is a buffer. N is the hottest element and is usually responsible for burn but whatever there doing its working cause she looks prime
yeah she's greener, the new growth is now coming out a real dark green, and everything is getting larger, including the branches coming off from the main stem, really really chunky stems for this age, looking back on my last grow, this is whooping it in comparison. I'm a whole week ahead this time, and growth is going flat out, i dont need to touch the plant atall at this stage, i can let it go for atleast 2 weeks, just before i put my netting in, she will be huge by then, i can see it now.
I was worried about this XL but she seems to be more than fine, extremely bushy......

Ima soooo happy! :leaf:

Good to hear. Im really looking forward to trying the cyco range
siiiiiiiiik!! well, you're seeing it first hand! EVERY product, including PGRs part A=B sorry, not part c. yuk, not that late in flower, as i'm going to smoke this, i am going for quality, but thats not to say i'm not going for quantity aswell, i will indeed use half strength PGR a+b as i think this in no way atall hinders quality, my first grow was astonishing in both yield and quality, it was like smoking hash, 1 bong, thats what i'm striving for this time. i'm checking everything on an extreme regular basis, monitoring any changes, cause i am obsessed with making things better and better....! well with growing erbs anyway

The dude in my hydro store says part 3 is a flushing agent. He also says there are better pgrs out there but cyco are the only ones guaranteed to be safe healthwise

Dint take that the wrong way I think that the health thing is a good thing I wouldn't try any other brand just for that reason alone

thanx man for your input ;) however part 'c' is not a flushing agent, Cyco (C) comes in a 1Ltr bottle. Cyco (C) is used on week 6 & 7 of the flower stage to make your flowers go HARD... This product was designed for plants that need just that bit more flower hardness! CYCO (C) will correct heat stressed plants or plants that are not forming in the flower stage...
hope that helps man, ive seen results with part c.... and if u like buds that are like little rocks then yeah go ahead, but as for chemicals, u cant even find out whats in this shit, its barely anywhere, and its not widely used atall. ive seen lbs, fit in a BBQ shapes packet i kid u not. i refused to even smoke it, no smell. looked very artificial, the buds growing didnt have 'a shine to them' thats my dribble anyways ;) stay clear of c.

cycos range is plenty enough, and if used like i did, the buds get plenty hard enough, a more natural look, and alot more stink, cause the buds can breathe, and air can circulate. thanx man noone would probably ever mention this as people that use c try to get more weight. but in actual fact. u lose weight. they stop growing and shrivel up, its horrible to see

Cant wait to see that bitch in full bloom ;)
ohh you will billcollector :) u can come and collect my bill anyday, i've got as much wattage in fans as i have in lightage!!, and this grow has a brand new 600watt globe, and she's gleaming !!, i'm sure this XL is gonna put on one hell of a show this week, my woman checked her this morning and she gasped. thats all i got to say.

I think i'm gonna name her SHREK!!!



Looking bomb bro gotta say, keep it up!
Thanx man, i will it's all i'm good at doing since i'm soo bent all the time!! love your avatar man, funny shit

Day 16 update, xl has really given her a nice kick!, dark green foliage and thick sturdy stems, preflowers everywhere as usual with this strain, i think thats why this strain turns to flower soo quickly, 18/6 light cycle for the next couple of weeks and this baby is gonna rock! leaves are really starting to perk up now, and the new fan leaves growing have a distinct v in them, and look 100% healthy


'Ima soo happy'

this last pic is a few nugs off my outdoor that i've decided to water cure, i have read lots about this technique, and know that it will get less weight with these little buds, but it's all my own personal smoke, and i'm just curious myself as to how much quality you gain from this method, anyone can say what they like , each to their own opinion, BUT this will be a good test as i am doing this properly replacing water every day for the next 6-7 days. we'll soon see!!! cross fingers

should read the marijuana growers bible by mel frank and ed rosenthal. there is some very interesting takes on curing in that book. in fact most methods of curing that they mention take place before the buds are dry.

Its not too bad, buds just have no real smell or taste after the water cure.

Potency is on point though :)
thanx for your input man! i was just curious, and i like the look of dark nugs! i especially like it if you are gleaming with resin, as my outdoory was very much!
i can't see how it would affect bag appeal, i've seen some pretty ugly weed, and its been a pleasure to smoke :)
thanx again man, good to have some company while we are all baked out of our minds ;)

dried a couple of small water cured nugs on a fan over last night, very different colour, almost a red/brown colour, they lost some of the original smell, but when you mulled it up gave off a very piney sweet smell, still very nice, smoked her up, just one cone just before i sat down to write this, NOTHING wrong with it atall, as for losing weight, i can't say, it does look a little more shrivelled than normal, man i am fuckin bent as, can't be bothered foccussing or checking my spelling, i'm in a very lazy state.
overall verdict of 'water curing buds' could be very bennaficial to some types of erb, i myself did not find any disadvantages considering this is all my personal smoke (it is now, too good to share ;) )
if done correctly, and changing the water often, i did it more than once a day, and water cured for 5 days, water didnt seem to be getting any more dirty after that.
nice, i'm soo bent right now, soo bent, i feel it under my eyes, and under my arms, i feel heavy and dopey as.

great idea for an oz or so off a harvest if u want some quick cured, quick dried bud. it's as good as if you ask me. i found not one drawback atall. yeah it looks different, doent quite sparkle as much, resin turns a greyish colour, whether this is because i had mostly amber resin who knows, but thats my dribble for this morning.

i say don't knock till you try, i would never of thought of doing this, but it seems some people do nothing but, and go for that dark different look, everyone always wants 'different weed'

everyone wants weed! so enjoy it anyway you can! btw, smoke was soo smoooooth, and A1 taste still, but my erbs are deliceous as they are to start with

Sounds good FM. I gotta try that one of these days. I like the way you make it sound.
shoulda added a couple of pics ey? greener bud is the normal dried bud, bit spindly this bud, i took this bit off a couple of weeks ago, for my woman, and was still hangin in her room :) the brown nug is the water cured nug, which i'm still smashed on, i could seriously crawl into bed and be sooo lazy, but at the same time, i'll yawn it out, cause it's a nice heavy buzz!

P1290008.jpgP1290012.jpg if you as me, i rekon the brown water cured nug looks like hydro!

Looking good man!

I stopped by a few days ago and forgot to Sub^. :eyesmoke: ...i'm on board now though
cheers man, she's flat out from now on, i'll post pics tonight, thanx for subbing up

1.5lb from one 1 plant... sounds good...
fingers crossed mate!! well i'm getting 5 weeks grow atleast on this one and thats already half a week more, and the growth is like steroids. i'm shocked, gotta be that XL, the Phosphoric acid has made the leave very thick, and a much darker green, the new growth used to be bright green, now its dark, and pointing completely vertical, growth is exceptional, and she really stinks
