Morning to the 6. I have decided that I will chop my Malawi today, the last girl in the run. Looks a bit of a mare to trim but actually has some buds that have some thickness to them, unlike the other sativa I grew, the SSHit, lol.
Sun is shining again, I love it! My Sweet Pea's, my Cauliflower, my Roman Brocolli Napolitano, my Basil, have all kicked off in the greenhouse. And I have 5 little babes that will be going for the outside grow. I love the way seedlings grow outside, they go boss!!!

Yeah for sure. I would have like to have shot, and smoke, every bit of that. I wonder what it would cost to get it blown up to wallpaper size and cover a wall with it.
Here's sweet little Jodie Emery with an update about Marc and such.

I think if I were to have shot all that then I already got my prize. Speaking of the 420 contest, I'm thinking of going to Toronto and covering the 420 festival that day. I'll have some nice goodies to share with some nice people and I think it will be a blast. And I'm sure I can get some great shots of some pretty neat cats and felines. I'm getting stoked just thinking of it.

Alright room..
There some small white bugs in the run off trays under my to soil pots. They look like thrips but i didnt think thats were i would find them anyway i cleared what i could see in the trays checked plant and soil but couldnt see any , i watered plant and the next day i could see them again not as much though , but some out of the water moving about. Dont have cam till later ,i'll get a few pics then.
As im starting week 8 flower im not sure what to do, and what are they?

I'm shamelessly cross-posting again, this time from a thread on rootboundedness that I have been following (sorry for the argumentative tone, some threads require more forceful rhetoric than the 600 
:
Some folks have implied that the condition of rootboundedness doesn't exist, or at least not in hydro, or it can be overcome by modifying your cultivation practices, blah blah. Well.
I have several mother plants which have been alive in flood and drain since last July. I was breaking the branches down on this one, hoping to get it short enough to flower, but this thread and other factors helped change my mind. I'm glad they did. Let's take a look!
When they were 6 weeks old they were placed into 2 gallon pots filled with hydroton and they have remained there ever since. They grew 4 feet tall and stopped. Over time, fewer new shoots appeared, even in response to pruning. Leaves in general became a little droopy and slight signs of deficiencies appeared as well, mostly on lower leaves. Successive cuttings of clones have taken longer to root but there are a number of unrelated seasonal factors that could be at work there.
I think these roots look really crappy. There is barely any new white growth, just old tan, useless rotting mass.
Enopugh of the horror show. This root mass is so dense, that even after soaking the root ball for hours. the mass is very difficult to break up. The water retention is enormous, leading to root suffocation and death. I flood twice a day and it is too much for this plant.
TO be fair, no one should keep a plant alive in hydro that long. Hydro is good for cropping not long-term maintenance. I'm sure someone can argue that statement with me, but it is a little like the pot-bound argument; anyone will argue anything on RIU.
Conclusion: In the specific hydroponic practise I follow, rootboundedness does indeed exert a negative effect on plant health in the long term. Generalizers my generalize; I am presenting my facts. My currernt plan of action is to kill the rest of my mothers; paging Dr. Freud!

Duchie, you are a man after my own heart. I agree with you on so many things you post. Like you, growing is one big ongoing experiment to me. I can read this and that but I want to find out for myself so I experiment. This grow I kept one metal halide burning for four weeks into 12/12 and finally switched it out at the beginning of week five of flower, which was yesterday. All I do know for sure, my hericules and blackjack are some frosty plants. I personally don't flush. I reduce my nutrients the last two weeks and the final three days or so nothing but water. I think a proper drying and curing is all that is needed. Why starve your plants the last two weeks like DST said?
Steely Dan, love em'. One of my favorite bands. I saw them and Loggins and Messina together. Do you know where they got their name? It was from an old book written in the eighteen hundreds if I remember correctly and it had a steam powered dildo in it and from that came Steely Dan.
Nice bud porn guys and the girls ain't bad either, I'll take the one in the red thong, I'm a sucker for dark skinned girls.

Steely Dan is the name of a dildo, yes, but from Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. 1959.
Dildos were coal-fired in the 1800's, everyone knows that

End week five of 12/12....Hericules, Killing Fields, Herijuana x Big White, Shackzilla and Blackjack.
These are from my new camera but I'm still a shit photographer. I'm workin' on it.
Edit. As you can see from the first pic, these were taken with the hps burning. I'm startin' to figure it out as you can tell from the green pics also taken at the same time.

Nice job, HU!
That's how I hope for my next grow to be: short and mostly buds.
How tall you letting them get before you switch them to 12/12?
(*edit: I hope that doesn't sound like a sarcastic statement. I really do want to end up with shorter plants than I've been growing.
)
