Sorry for the short post earlier... was in a rush, but wanted to let you guys know. Everything looked great. Heartbeat was like 138 I think. According to all the measurements the projected due date was 1 day off what we always thought. So that will stay the same. The kidneys and abdomen looked good. Brain and head size looked good. And you could see all the chambers of its heart just beating away. She did this slow mo thing on the heart to get a closer look. I guess baby was in an uncooperative position for that part too, so she couldn't get what she wanted. We have to go back in 4 weeks to try again. Meanwhile we have a regular OB appointment on April 2, so less than 2 weeks. Then another ultrasound at the radiology place in 4 weeks.

Oh, they also did this weird surface scan thing that I think was supposed to be the face, but it just looked creepy to me, so I didn't look much. I honestly don't need to be seeing little babies face just yet. Lots of time for that when baby is out in the open.

It really does mean a lot to have all your guys' support. Today turned out all right in the end, so that's good.
I had a 4d and 3d sonogram when "my son" was born. looked pretty weird. like the giant ghot from ghostbusters.

Yeah right. Seriously looks like some shit from ghostbusters. Like that greed dude, slimer, or the face of the stay puffed marshmellow man. (i don't care if they say it's spelled marshmAllow... that's silly) What does a marshmellow have to do with a marsh anyhow.

mallow like hallow sharp A rather than drawn out ar. There is a north south divide with the way we pronounce A's up north its a sharp a. For instance BAth and southerners say barth but its still spelt bath, same with dance and darnce, glAss and glarss.

Thanks man. The question you ask is debated among folks. Some start the first day of 12/12... others start the first time they see pre-flowers, with the little white hairs all clustered up.

I think for the most part people count flowering and 12/12 as the same thing. I start counting the first day of 12/12. So when I say my plants are at 8 weeks... I mean 8 weeks of 12/12.

I don't think one is right or wrong though.

Jig is right this is debated and I agree that I don't think that one is right and the other wrong at all, just 2 different ways. Some guys jerk with the right some with the left its all depends. Any way I typically count from when I see actual flowers, not preflowers as jig put it. My genetics are all pretty mature and I have preflowers the whole time my plants are alive at this point. Then when I put them into my tray it usually only takes about 4-5 days for them to start flowering, but I don't count until I see actual pistils on the plants. I feel this is the most natural way of letting the plants fully mature, but when you harvest isn't based on how you count its based on the plants, so really how you count is completely subjective. I put my current batch into 12/12 on the 16th of this month, and as of yesterday they had all began to tighten up the nodes and will some will have pistils tonight I"m sure havn't been down yet. I am going to start my week 1 on sunday though which will give them an extra day or 2 to really get going, from there once I get to the 8 week point I just keep an eye on each girl inparticular.

eventually you stop counting days...
you no longer need to know how long they have been flowering, because you can tell when they are done...

I harvest based on how the plants look like when they finish, not based on how many weeks they have been growing. If I count flowering time it includes the full 12/12 photperiod though. Each to their own I think.

The biggest reason I count at all is to tell all you folks how long it's been flowering. Otherwise, yeah, I just look at the plants now.

Have fun in Rotterdam mate.

I agree man. The other half the reason I count some, is to keep track of the different girls at various stages of growth. Running perpetual I usually actually count the diffference in weeks between my plants rather then how many weeks they've been in. Like one batch is 3 weeks ahead of the other.

I harvest by the looks of the plants but knowing the somewhat exact 12/12# before hand can help with planning ahead... Im running new genetics so Im counting days from 12/12 for future reference... Counting from onset is just too vague for me,,, some strains onset faster than others and blahblahblah.

So I'm a bit confused with my plants. They are a week into 12/12 and they have only grown 2" in that 7 days. And now they are stacking budsites. What on earth happened to the stretch? I thought plants doubled and tripled in size? It's not necessarily a bad thing, just confusing. Do you think it had something to do with my light schedule before. I was running around 14-16 hours of light a day. Sometimes 13. So the nights were at the longest 8 hours, sometimes down to 11.

It's just odd... I was expecting 2 inches a day for 2 weeks or something. By the way the bud sites are stacking though... I think I'm going to get a lot of pot. Hopefully they get fat.

Oh, and I transplanted the two chernobyls from the cups to the unused pot. They are sharing. How cute.

Also tried to mess with appature settings on my camera as genuity suggested to whodat. Haven't looked at the pics yet though. I will say there are some crazy effects when you mess with the appature setting too much. Depth of field I guess. Whatevs.

Parents were here for the weekend. That was fun. Now I'm sick again. Been up since 4. My gut sucks.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

HHB will be 19 weeks on Tuesday.

Oh, and my buddy called Friday night. Parole date moved back a day... so he's out Tuesday. We'll have a long day so I won't be around much.

Last thing... last night I had two dreams I remembered. 1st was me and someone else, not sure who, were pinching buds off my plants, kept doing it to smoke over and over, and I realized we had massacred like half the plant. It was all messed up and I remember wondering why on earth we did that. 2nd dream was on a cruise ship. I volunteered along with 3 other guys to compete in a stripping competition. So yeah, that's funny enough. But the really odd thing was there was a man dressed as a fireman standing in front of me... he was in the crowd and the 4 strippers were on stage. The fireman was giving me all kinds of tips on stripping well. He told me what to do with my hair and such. Was quite detailed.

Not sure what this all means, but I think I'll stay inside today lol.
