Sorry about the picture quality, i keep forgeting to take pics at lights out so i just snapped some quick shots to post up.

These are now 14 days into flower...and i promise to get some better shots soon to give you a better idea how big these babies really are.

They are still looking really healthy and eating up the nutes.

How are they smelling what is the g13 supposed to smell like and are you impressed with the bud production as of now? What all drgreenthumb strains have you grown/reccomend? I wanna get 1 more strain to run here in a few weeks and I'm not sure which one I'm gonna go with. It seem with doc all his are pretty good yielders so what I'm lookin for is a diesel fuel or a super piney smelling indica that can grow in a nice bush with few branches and a nice big fat cola. A knockout stone would be wonderful. Any reccomendations?

hello, dr gruber, delta9nxs here, nice to meet you! i just found and read this thread. it is of special interest to me as i am looking at a 3 pack of the same beans next to my computer right now. i'm going to pop them today and grow them in a hydro system i'm playing with that is producing 1 lb plus plants with sweet tooth #4. it's on a different forum. I see a magnum plant coming out of this. anyway, i'll be following your grow for sure. later on, d9

The small buds that have formed have zero smell right now. If i rub the stem it smells kinda poopy, but so do a lot of my plants. According to Doc they have a very light odor with hints of fruit. A very low odor plant good for stelth growing.
His Sour Diesel is a heavy fuel smell all the way with a nice complex buzz. I really liked the taste and smell of the Milennium Bud...very piney, with a fairly good couchlock type stone. I kind of screwed them up and didnt get a good yeild though. So far I have grown his C99, Big Purps, Milennium Bud, Iranian G13, Columbian Skies and Sour Diesel. I would have to say his SD stands out the most for flavor, followed by the Mil Bud and Big Purps in a tie for second. Sd is probably the most potant as well.

Hey man, those plants look great. So can you talk a little about your feeding schedule and regiment?
Click to expand...
I dont really go with a set schedule..i try to judge what the plant looks like it needs. I feed with Jacks classic and they suggest 1/4 teaspoon per gallon every watering or 1/2 t-spoon every other week. I have been giving them 1 t-spoon with every watering lately and they are eating it up. I will give them straight water a few times in a row when my runoff PPM is getting to high.

So you are just using the one part food this whole time? No additives, no teas, nothing else? Not even CalMag?

Im in. just found this thread.( figures you'd be doing it.)
I think this may be next on my order list. What did you think of the columbian skies? Did it have that dirty columbo taste? Buzz? And how was the harvest?
Love the taste of columbian, but went with the dope. Its hard to pick one strain when you want them all.
Again thanks for sharing, you help get me to the doc. now you help me choose my medz.

I have Jacks Classic 30-10-10 for veg. Jacks classic 10-30-20 for flower. And Jacks all purpose 20-20-20.All have the complete micro nutrient line up. I have run a few grows with nothing but the 20-20-20 and it works great. this grow has been primarily the 20-20-20 and when it looks like it needs something specific i give it one of the others. I follow the advice of Uncle Ben and Riddleme on this site. Check out Riddlemes grows he can explain it better then I.
I dont use teas or anything else and the JAcks seems to have enough Cal/MG

The Columbian is earthy when you smell a bud but it didnt have the "dirty" taste at all. It does remind me of old school pot but its more like the Columbian Gold with its "dank" flavor rather then "dirt" flavor of some of the lesser Columbians. I have 2 going right now and i have learned a lot since the last time i did it...should come out much better this time. I only took them 56 days in the past...i will try to take them longer this time and see what the diff is.As it was, it was a great daytime buzz and didnt burn you out but got you tripping pretty good.
I know what you mean about picking a strain.

In the last 5 days i have made this mistake twice while watching Playoff Hockey. I have left the door to my flower room open for about 20 to 25 mins after the lights went out. Light from my veg room was spilling in for that whole time...it happened 5 days apart does anyone think it will cause any problems for me? I hope it wasnt enough to confuse them and send them back into veg, but I havent made this mistake before and have no idea what to expect.
I just got so into the game that i forgot i had left it open...ugghghghghghghghhhhhhhhhhh!

I really don't think so bro. It's to my uunderstanding that the length of the dark period is what makes the plant flower. Like people who veg like 6 hours on 12 hours off or whatever so I think that 11.5 -11 hours of darkness would be enough to keep them flowering. I could be wrong to but I'm just trying to put your mind at ease :)

That has happened to me several times as well. The EXACT same thing (at the pub a bit too long, not hockey). I have not seen any adverse effects, and has happened a few times on each grow (I have to manually shut every thing up and open everything up at 7am and pm :) and every ONCE in awhile something happens and the stupid T5 light is leaking right at them! Disconcerting, but I think OK.

On another note....i've seen ALLLLLLLL the awesome arguing on this site about the god damn dr.'s G-13. I have no clue what the real deal is, but I will say this. Those plants look fucking incredible. Some INSANELY tight internodes (and a fuckload of them). Whatever they are and wherever they came from, it's looking to ME that they are gonna produce some killer weed. Very interested to see what those bitches can DO! :)

Good luck man!

In my opinion that is not enough time to worry about. Those 20-30 minutes before or after lights on and off should not cause a problem. You may have your reasons, but this is why I like using timers. I can come and go as I like and not have to worry about getting back home to turn the lights on or off.

Thanks everyone...now im not worried. I was imagining what the doubters would say if they were screwed up.

Sorry for the confusion MSBBB, but i do use timers, i had left the flower room door open and the Veg room light was spilling in. Maybe i need a timer to close my door for me.lol

Yah, earthy is what I meant (kind of taste and smell of good soil or earth).
Your G-13 look massive, do you think they're a easy grow? I think these might move up on my list.

Yes very easy so far, probably the easiest ive grown. The Columbian are much more finicky and burn with the slightest addition of nutes; the soil is enough for them for awhile into flower.

Sorry about that, you had it right there in your original post. I have done that same thing from time to time with no apparent problems. I'm the one confused, sorry;-)
