I second that ionizer idea. I have a GH BB grow goin on and I have a bathroom sized ionizer in the closet where she is kept. Still has a slight odor, but its easily masked by an plug-in defuser down the hall.

Anyway, I wanted to ask (forgive me if I skipped over this information somehow)... How tall were they when you began to flower compared to now at 6 weeks? Just wondering what to expect in the comming weeks as far as room goes

How are your BB getting on?
I've had a quick look about but there are all sorts out there, do you mind if i ask you what make your bathroom ionizer is, then maybe i could find a local distributer..
I want to get one that i know someone else has for the same reason..

Right now i can't think too good but i'm pretty sure they were about 15'' tall when i switched the lights, only had 23 days of veg so i think they have done well..

More Seed Than Weed!

Day 43 since 12/12..
Lady on the left is smelling very much like peaches...weird i know..
The girl on the right is very skunky, put it this way.. they both reek!

You can notice the yellowing is getting worse on one girl, even after the flush, am i right?
I was going to feed dem both some nutes when ever they feel light again, but i'm unsure of what to do... any tips?

But still the buds seem fine, thank f**k.. and the girl on the left is getting huge buds! very long and they're starting to bulk up already!
They are very different in terms of flowers..its great to look at..
not sure if the last sentence made sense or not.. i kept reading it over and over and now the words have lost all meaning!



damn thats alot of pics...

It does seem a little worse.Plants that have had nutrient lockouts may take a few days to bounce back after flushing.
How much water did you end up flushing that plant with?
You can go back to full strength nutes after flushing.You should also feed right away after flushing or else the plant only has water untill you do feed(which would'nt help the problem any).
The buds are still growing because the plant is taking from the leaves to give to the buds.

Peaches huh?Interesting

I'm not sure of the brand. Its light off right now so I can't check. But I got it at Walmart, if that helps. Though, she is only about 2 weeks flower. Not too sure if that bathroom thing will work on its own in the future. It could also be that I'm just used to the smell. Who knows? But I looked on their website and they have an upright one for $55, which isn't too bad.

My BB is getting along nicely. She sure is a nute hog, though. I'm doing organic only and I dunno how much longer that will last. She's hunnngry! Having similar problems with the leaves yellowing. I had a mg deficiency going on for about a week, corrected it, and now the yellowing.

Yours are looking purdy tasty! I hope mine turn out that nice

Great advice man, thanks..
I managed to flush both with 20 litres each.. i know there should be more used but its all i could get in short notice, its better than none..
It seems the yellowing may have slowed down slightly, it doesn't appear to have spread much at all.. so i'm going in with some nutes tomorow..
I'll update as usuall anyways..

yea man i know it took me by surprise, i even called the missus over and stuck my finger up her nose and she agreed, peaches..

Thanks man,
Hant got no walmarts round here man, will probably have to find sumit online which is closer..i'll av a butchers about, thanks anyway man,
The BB sure do love the nutes thats for sure..
I think its like Huh?? said above, because of the flush and the fact that i haven't fed nutes since then, the buds are feeding from the leaves, so in theory, feed with nutes no more leaf hogging..
Got any snaps of your BB?

44 days since switching to 12/12..
Not much to report, yellowing is slowing down, going to feed some nutes tomorow, not long now till harvest! roll on february!

A few more pics for y'all...
3rd pic is of the top cola on the right hand girl, the leaf tips are turning purple!
I thought it was signs of over-watering at first because of the flush but its spreading over the whole leaf instead of just the edges..

Subscribed, these look incredible. I might have to grab some on my next order.

funny u say the left one smells like peaches

a buddy had some bc big bang from vancouver seed bank (breeder was next generation)... and he got one phenotype that reaked like fuzzy peaches, had the densest bud off all 4 females as well, but didnt yield the most as it was the smallest of the 4

Thanks for pullin up a seat Dr. Indica ..
I was a wee bit skeptical about GHS BB in the early days of this thread but i'm very impressed at the results so far.. i take my hat off to the boys at green house seed co..
Might even send dem a few pics, as they haven't got any decent ones of Big Bang on their website..
might work, who knows, i got on telly one time after i kept emailing people my opinions and ideas!

Hhhmm.. its got me thinking now.. (and i don't like to think that much... )
I heard a few stories of the Green House Seed Co taking strains from other companies, growing them out and selling the seeds as their own, maybe the stories could be true, after all, alot of the seed companies out there do claim to have the orginal this, and the original that, so yeah, long story short.. its got me thinking..

yea ive heard greenhouse takes a lot of companies strains and mixes them with there own, then call it there own
heard that about nirvana too
a lot of the original strains are from smaller seed companies, or so i hear

although some form big bud is on almost every companies site....lol

Yea man..
The best seed companies to go for are:

• Ceres Seeds
• Seedism
• DNA Genetics
• Magus Genetics
• Flying Dutchmen
• Reserva Privada
• TH Seeds
• Spice Of Life Seeds
• Paradise Seeds
• Serious Seeds (They got the original bubblegum)

All the above seed companies have won numerous awards, they have concentrated their efforts on a range of strains for the past twenty years. They believe in nurturing quality over mass production of substandard strains.
Basically, instead of constantly banging out new, probably unstable strains, these selected seed companies just keep making the same ones better and better..
oohhh yeeaaa

Oh, and look out for Holy Smoke Seeds aswell, coming out in.. around march/april time, should be growing 1 or 2 of their strains..

You forgot to mention the best seed company above all you listed: Mr. Nice
Mandala is also good, no bad things has ever been said about them nor complaints on their strains

Yeah there's so much bad rep for Green House. People say the seeds sometimes do not germinate, always hermies, and if they do grow well the smoke turns out to be average. This is one interesting thread where Shantibaba, part owner of Mr. Nice, comments on the reputation of Green House:

Green House Seed Co. So much negativity

joe i have only checked a few of those breeders out
you forgot sensi seeds and TGA seeds they are also well respected, i really want TGA strains

TH seeds and reserva privada? they are both reliable as well as stable strains?

also BIG BUDDHA seeds, know anything about them?

First of Joe, NICE thread dude..... you have some beautiful girls there.. I can't wait to see if I can get mine like that!

Im along for the ride on this 1 for sure!

Oh and by the way - Barney's Farm seeds are pretty good and there is a new seed bank - Positronics who so far have good feed back for quality and quantity, Their Blue Rhino and their version of Critical Mass (#47) sound like they could be worth a grow!

They can't all be bad i suppose , i mean, mine seem like good pheno's, but its all right having buds like this now, but will they be similar if i were to grow some more BB from a different pack or are they going to be completely different phenotypes?
but i'm going to check this thread out soon man, thanks,

Wow.. it seems i forgot alot of well known breeders, there are so many!


Reserva Privada are strains which, until recently, weren't possible to buy from any seed banks. unless you know someone very special..
Reserva Privada is a West Coast collective of breeders who until now had no place to showcase their creations. (Most of which you can't get anywhere else and are indigenous to the West Coast i.e. Heirloom strains etc.)

Big Buddha have, so i have heard some good strains but, their 'cheese' is not the original cheese, the original cheese being the UK Exodus Cheese is only available in clone..

There are so many different strains out there that it would be very difficult to grow every single variety, its a shame..

Day 45 today
Fed some nutes today, no probs..
Rust spots are on a couple of the lower fan leaves now but i'm not sure if they were there the whole time and i just wasn't paying attention because of the top part or if they are new, but i'm going to see how they get on over the next few days as, like i said, i fed dem some nutes today..
The branches are slowly bending over to the side on the girl on the left looke like some good ol' fashioned staking gonna be going on here real soon!

Oh and i almost forgot, probably the best update so far because i got myself an Ionizer! Much love to the missus for dat one.. BooYa!
£50 and its made so much difference i would recommend anyone with some stanky ass weed to get one! Seriously, i had my doubts about it because of the smell in my gaff, i mean, you could smell it on my doorstep! NOT GOOD! but its dulled the smell down, and its good for the plants too! with a little help from some Auto house air freshners i am once again, a relaxed man..
