Looking great brother man @DirtyNerd

Hey Guys/Girls

Sorry there has been no updates i had my mom come down and stay we got our son home now his still got a long way to recovery but they think home care is best so they come out and see us at home 2 times a week for the next 6 months - 12

The Lady's are doing well i think because the 400 watt metal halide is in a cooltube lot of light loss from the glass and the design of the tube and the growth rate is slower then i would like so in 3 day ill be moving 4 in to another tent under a 1000 Watt HPS to veg for another 2 weeks then ill be flipping them and keeping the rest under the 400 and keep training them

I also topped the other Blue Dream and Black russian and made two clones out of there tops no more people staying not a big people person been doing my head in having people over even if they are family

Ill try keep things more up to date Watered 16 Liters of just PH'ed water 5.8 Feeding later on with food ill list it later

Below is a group photo and the two cuttings

Till the next update stay green

Did you just take those 2 cuttings? If so, is it standard to take cuttings that large?

Hey bro yes just did them i don't always make clones that big but i have had people over so couldn't take cuttings for a week and i needed to top the others as they are getting to tall
as the 400 Watt its not giving them the light they need as there is a lot in a small tent I made a cutting that big last time and it turned out fine so saves me a bit of time in the veg

I'll be moving a couple out in to the flower tent soon and veg them under a 1000W for a couple more weeks then flip 4 shit thing is my PH Pen just crapped it self so its giving me a wrong reading hopefully just needs new batteries

Have you had the chance to take any clones yet or is it still too soon ... ?

Glad to hear your son is home. I just found out I'm having a little girl! girls looking good bro!

Still too soon. I probably wont take any until after harvest. Thinking I'll keep maybe 5 or 10 of the best ones and re-veg them. Never too early to start thinking about how to clone as I'm a noob in that area too.

Yeah just don't over think it bro I know I just put my cuttings in Rockwool but that's only because of there size normally just use jiffy and they work 100% and once the girls grow up a little more I'll be taking a few cuttings

You will love re vegging/ monster cropping

Once they turn back to veg they explode with new shoots there will be not much need for topping and all that fun stuff as there will be 6-10 new shoots out of the bud and once the new growth has grown out of the bud I find it best to trim it away

I didn't post on the site but I just pulled some bubblegum down yesterday in good time aswell about to run out should be around 10 oz

Couldn't stop growing

Yeah I've been resting also nerd I should have let that lst plant of mine go longer last time I learned the error of my ways lol about to harvest another one at day 52 right now wish I could see what that one girl would have done if you remember!

Yeah I remember her she was looking sexy but you pulled her to soon never mind there is always more time I find most plants take 9 weeks to finish off well all the ones I have done but I have stayed away from the super long flowering strains and if your growing conditions are not 100% longer is better

I can't wait to see what the new girls can do once there in flower Hoping I get a couple of good phenotypes and this time I'm not giving any to my brother as he gave them all away last time and I lost all the good phenos

Nerd is right I have two girls so I have plenty guns Glad he's home bro. I know that crying is killing you but you know what he's been through and going through so you understand. Once he gets completely better I'm sure he won't say much.

Glad everything is getting back normal for you I know how it is. Glad the girls are looking good you too. You always do great stuff. Sucks meter went out on you but you've been doing this for a while so I know you should be able to get close to where you wanna be. Keep it up man I know you love that Bubblegum. I need me some where you gets yours?

Thanks brother yeah he had a hard start but the ones that start with a hard start always seem to be strong minded later in life

the Bubblegum was a clone so to be honest i have no clue what company shes from and the guy my brother got her off is dead so his not much help anymore i wish i could point you in the right place but i don't know sorry bro i have heard from someone on the forum she looks like the royal queen bubblegum.

Just a couple of photos once the bubblegum is done hanging ill move a couple of the girls in to the flowering tent under the 1000HPS for 2 weeks then flip

The 5 i have picked will be the two bubblegum Super Skunk and 1 Blue Dream 1 Black Russian

The rest will stay in veg till the others finish flowering or added at a later date

Hey guys and girls

Things are going good i moved the girls under a 600 watt HPS! to give them a kick start i was looking back at photos from my pineapple grow and noticed the growth rate was a lot faster then this grow and i moved them under the 600 after the first set of true leaves on that grow so ill be leaving them under the 600 Watt for a couple off weeks till they reach the size i want and move them to the flower tent

In other news i am going to take down my big tent as its falling apart i got a new tent that is 4.7F - 4.7F or 1.45m - 1.45m so that's going to be rocking the 1000Watt HPS and ill be doing 5 plants

How they will be set up is in the photo below sorry my plans change so much at the end of the day you will still get to see nice Bud the rest of the plants will stay in veg for around 9 weeks till i finish flowering the 5 girls

Looking good!

hope everythings good now bro and congratulations all the way from wet ,windy, midge infested Scotland..

lovin your blue dream ,she looks amazing and your superskunk has filled out nicely too. will be good to see how they turn out , to see the differences in our skunks as well.
My supersunk has slowed down but wow she stretched , i topped her and only let her grow to 13-14 inches before flowering and now its over 3ft within just a few weeks.
i think im 4 weeks in now (too stoned to remember) but it didnt show any signs of change until day 14-16 of 12/12 , she was too busy stretching lol
