yah doobs, i think i read something somewhere on here that you mentioned that you had to take the scrog off to move the plants into the new space when you finally got around to moving, lol.. there for awhile i thought the plants where gonna be monsters as it seemed like they were going to stay in veg forever.
thanks for the lodown on the diff between indicas leaves and those of sativas.. i was pretty aware of the differences between the heights of them and the highs of both, but still appreciate you taking the time out to teach me.. thanks...
i am currently growing some mk ultra from th seeds.. now this strain is an indica and all, and i new this when buying it. i tend to like a more sativa high.. the more soaring mind bendin type, but opted not to but a sativa cuz of their long flowering periods and tall profile since i am only growing in a closet at the moment. so heres my ? for u.. you had said that you can cut down on the sativa up but letting them go a little longer, but can i also do the same thing with an indica, ie make it a little more of an up high by not letting them go quite as long ?
anyhoos.. can't wait for the update this week.. i was just laid off from my job in the beggining of june, and have since pot a hold on smoking for awhile so that i can air out and pass a piss test, and it is sooo killing me.. i am so jealous that you are feeling a little burnt and haven't gotten around to posting any pix.. smoke a nice big fatty and think about me would ya, lol.. till next time..

They're 3 ft or taller, they still have a month to a month and a half to go lol so we shall see, they should stay around the 3 ft range though, because I'm restricting them in 3 gallon buckets. Now if I moved to a 5 gallon bucket.... I'd be in trouble lol.

No problem on the help there Racer, I'm always trying to help whether on my journal or the 250 club.

As far as your question on Indicas, yes you can harvest a little earlier, you will want to invest in a microscope or magnifying glass that is at least 30x magnification. This will help out with the exact harvest time you want. Your trichomes should be only at like 20-30% amber, the rest should be cloudy or clear. That will give you a more up high, but the indica body high will still more than likely shine through a bit.

Sorry to hear about the lay off, I'm wanting to guess a call center? I used to be AOL Tech before they laid us off a couple years back, so I know how much that sucks, hopefully you got a decent serverance package though.

Anyhow, I used to work at a headshop (Lol actually got that job right after I got laid off and then got laid off again because of the DEA paraphanalia raids and the city extending a school zone that made the shop in the school zone, so it had to shut down.), there's a product called Permaclean, by a company named Vale, it's a detox in pill form, you take it like a dietary supplement and it completely cleans out your system of any toxins. The catch is it will not work if you consume any alcohol, caffiene, high fructose corn syrup, concentrated sugars, tobacco, or fatty foods. I know this to work, as I've personally used it.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks Wretched :mrgreen:, and here's a big ole' hug for the Ph stress :hug:, I hope you get that sorted.

I always use Nestle Pure Life, or that water from the Glacier water dispensers. I know for a fact the pure life is r/o treated, I'm pretty sure the Glacier is too. The Ph on both every time I've checked it has always come out to 7.0, when nutes are added the run off is between 6.5 - 6.8 every time. Yeah I cheat kind of lol, but it's alllllll good lol.

7.0 is neutral Ph, any lower is more acidic, any higher more alkaline. You want your Ph to be very lightly on the acidic side so the plants uptake properly. Too low or too high though and it can kill your plants, cause lock out and all that stuff you don't want to happen lol.

You using a digital tester or strips?

If you're using strips disregard the calibration stuff.

If you're using a digital tester, then you want to pick up some buffer or fluid to calibrate the tester at 7.0 so it's accurate. If it's not calibrated it will not give the proper/actual Ph, so it's a false read.

This link is a link to what you're pretty much looking for. I use stuff that comes in a bottle from my local hydro/gardening store.

Here's some current pictures of the gals, they're both doing well and the frostiness continues to cake on. Enjoy the pictures.

I took each plant out and took pics separately, there's also a measuring tape next to the plants in a couple pics too. The site or my connection is acting up right now so I will post the rest of the pics tomorrow or some other time.
