How's the form this morning lads, it feels like we are going back into winter at the moment. The veggies don't like this wet cold shite that is considered weather. Shackzilla is doing well, now on day 14 12/12, stretching for the sky, I hope there's not too much stretch left in her, not much room to bring the light up further. Drinking about 8 litres a day at the moment and keeping ppm's at about 7-800, just where she likes it. I predict quite a lot of bud from this plant, with 600w to herself she's a greedy whore.

The plant is looking great,kudos to you.
What's the width and length of it at the widest points?

The only thing thats good about sky is the sports channels. Never found a reliable site for streaming games... Left in a bad state when the stream went down more than a few times. Everything else can be easily got online. I go halves with the parents and watch everything sport wise through the online account.

drifting and showjumping are my sports and theres not much coverage for either... you can get formula drift on line but streaming is so shit i hardly bother watching it, thank god for eurosport, free channel but they show alot of the showjumping, did do the aga khan cup until last year... come on ireland...

I dunno if I've some trouble I've noticed mold or moss starting to build up on top of the soil I removed it, is this a good or bad thing? Is the humidity too high inside the greenhouse? I've recently moved it so it's sitting on some grass i think this is causing loads humidity what you guys think?

 

[budsahoi]

Damp when in flower is a big nono, u will get budrot if humidity is high, green houses are always damp so get some ventilation in there. on nice days put ur plants outside and get a large fan going condtantly.

Budsahoi, now your username is actually appropriate

I've moved the greenhouse its over concrete now I think the grass was causing the extra moisture, was only a small bit of moss, would they be ok?

 

[budsahoi]

moss is harmless, brobably came in ur soil. just try and open/remove greenhouse on dry days (if that l ever hapen)

yep from ur goodself i got 6. they r very fussy plant i have to water them 250ml at a time they did not like more or less. when the temperature drops so do thier leaves

yeah from what I have read about that strain that it is hard to grow and has a long flower time being almost a pure sativa but the end result is suppose to be amazing as in the smell, taste and high. My pops tells me about it being his favorite strain back in the day when he only paid $40 an oz back in the early 70's and he was living in hawaii with my mom surfing and smoking his ass off. I hope it turns out great for you man!!

Been running the bulb at 600w the past few days and temps are surprisingly low, about 24 at the canopy so the extra watts don''t seem to add much heat. Feels a waste to be running so much juice on one plant but hopefully the extra leccy will be worth it. We've got a good number of grows going here atm, never seen the place so busy lol

you are right about wasting watts/lumens on one plant, it isn't going to make it grow faster or have bigger colas. One plant only needs a certain amount of light it's somer where around 200 to 250w. My cab I have 8 sites but usually only do 4 to 6 plants at a time and I use 250w for almost the entire time until the canopy gets thick and then I switch it up to 400w, thats the great thing of having a conversion ballast I can have MH or HPS and the settings on the ballast are 250w, 275w, 400w and 425w. I want to do an entire run with just the MH light my buddy use to do it all the time and the ladies would stay squat and thick from the color spectrum the MH gives off. Anyway you're not going to heart anything I just hate for you to waste the extra electricity for your pockets sake.

@AE: glad to hear the bubba is doing good! Bubba kush is very popular around here the bubba 76 is from a 1976 afghan strain someone brought back to the states and then someone crossed it with a pre 98 bubba kush so it should be one ass kicking indica dom lady or ladies.

@iamaaror: I just noticed your pic and thought that was a few plants and then noticed it was one! great f'ing job with the scrog looks amazing and that canopy work is nothing but top notch looks like you topped it ten times. now I understand why you are using 600w that some crazy foliage for one plant, great job hope you get a great yield man!

Just watched last stand with Arnold swartsidontknowhowtospellitneger not bad. car chases are a bit stupid with constant gear changes and impossible stunts but was expected with that kind of action film.

just had the night from hell....

all three of the little ones are ill, one crapped the bed the other two puked all over the room so been cleaning carpet and mattress for what felt like forever.. thank god my mam has a carpet cleaner made short and clean work of the job...

still doing ok without weed but holy crap am i missing it now...hahahahaahaha...

will toss up some pic`s tomorrow of the plants, starting to make real progress and even tho the three flowering girls were started on the same day, at this stage i`d say i`m looking at harvesting them a week apart from one another, just seem to be growing that way...
