Sorry MeanGreen, I meant to answer your question the other day but I must have forgot! I gave them a splash of 'Amino Aid' from Aurora Innovations. I got this free as a sample from my local shop, and I actually like it a lot for the mid-bloom blast of N that's usually needed halfway through flower. It's 5-0-0, so you can get as much or as little N as ya want. I fed it along with Superthrive and Big Bloom on that round.

Alright peeps sorry bout the delay in posting pics lately...12 hr days at work and Christmas shopping in between is really putting a cramp in my RIU style! I need to snap some good pics of the girls for ya cause they are blowing up! yeeaahhhhh baby

So don't fear I'll get a few good ones on here hopefully tonight or tomo morning. I haven't even had time to stake em up yet, so I might be doing that on Christmas day. I did finally get the chance to re-pot my 2 moms the other day and they're loving life in their new much more roomy accommodations.

Nope, I just tease the sides and bottom of the rootball to loosen it up a good bit (as much as I can without destroying it) and then stuff it down into the new pot. Then I just backfill in around the edges of the pot with the new soil and pack it medium tight. Done.

Both plants that I re-potted the other day are looking fabulous. I even tore the rootball up into dangly sections on the SS purposely trying to give it hell and really break it up good. It's just loving life now too. Cannabis plants really are quite resilient. It's just things like heat stress, over/under watering, nute burn, nute deficiencies, improper Ph, windburn, and worst of all fluctuating photoperiods that really gives them a problem. Other than that I find that cannabis will take pretty much anything thrown at it and keep coming back for more. They're not that hard to grow at all, as long as you don't mess up on the important things.

OK! This morning I took a few pics of the girls right when the lights went off (I almost forgot that this was the best time to take pics, as I haven't been doing journals on the last several grows). I only got a few with my phone before my battery was so low that it wouldn't let me use the flash anymore, but I think they'll give you the general idea. I'm going to bite the bullet and take a few with the Olympus tonight or tomorrow morning to illustrate things better. But for now this will have to do...

First 3 are of the Super Skunks (the cola close up is of SS#5) and the last one is HashBerry.

spoken like a champ, you're right though. when you got those areas covered, it's just a root, give it wha it needs, and it's gonna grow! btw you dont use co2 right? if so what are your feelings. how do you feel about turning off your circulation to force co2 in the room.

Naaa, I don't use CO2. Too much work, too much upkeep, and too hot living in an apartment! Man my apartment complex about shits kittens if they see me with a gas grill or propane tank. If I start lugging CO2 tanks up and down the stairs I'm done!

Plus generally speaking, I blow enough hot air to keep the place at 1200 ppm without paying a dime! :mrgreen:

Nice looking plants dc. I'll put up my pics and grow journal on my ak48, ice and haze after the first of the year. They are now two weeks into flower and looking good. How tall were your plants when you flowered? Any topping?

Thanks. About 12 - 14 inches I would say and I top what I have to to keep the canopy even.

How do you like that Ice? Does yours have those ridiculously big calyxes?
