Holy crap Myco. Things look really sweet. Your buds are going to reward your efforts. As always I am impressed as hell. I hope you feel better bro. I love the look of all of them. I tried to pick a favorite but I couldn't. Take care.
Thank you for coming in guy's. The kind words are always appreciated. I can't wait till you get the Skunk#1 going Slipon, I think you'll be happy with her. I'd like to make some Kif out of that Cindy La Pew as well brother. All the Strains over at GGG are as resin heavy as that really. They have some crosses that will cross your eyes bro. I can't wait to stock up on some of their genetics, and get up a thread. Pepe Le Dank is another killer, but like I said it's pretty much the tip of a very frosty ice berg. I also think that Miss Colombia a cross of Cindy Le Pew, and a Colombian Black would be incredible. I can't wait to see some of the hempy results man, but I urge you to keep an organic soil grow going as I just think it has the best results in my opinion. I think the organic soil is key to some of the high cannabanoid profiles coming in on a lot of test results from labs. I'm not 100% sure of that, but either are the labs or other growers. I can't wait to start sharing some real dank with you guy's, although this Skunk#1 is impressing me quite a bit. There are alot of Skunk's out there though. Peace and Love.damn I would love to make Kif or oil on the trim of that Cindy plant
look good Myco, keep up the good work, we can share pictures of the skunk#1 and the hempy bucket, in lets say 30 days or so from now

Wow the Blue O.G. and Sour Blueberry have already stretched past the top of their cages and are reaching for the light! Quite impressive to say the least. They're both putting out pistils like nobody's business, and swelling at the tips already. The B.O.G. has a little more internodal stretch to her with the S.B. being a little more reserved and tighter. I have pretty big plans for these 2 girls so keep an eye on them. Everyone else in the tent is doing outstanding as well, just flowering away, giving me a future to look forward to. The density of the Menage a Trois and Skunk#1 are completely mind blowing, I did not expect this out of the MaT, but the Skunk#1 I've grown before and was expecting this. Although I was expecting a little more bulk as well, but there are 3 weeks left also so we'll see. The Skunk#1 can be a weird plant at times, taking what seems like rests at points, and then taking back off. I took a bunch of photos of my girls to show my almost 60 year old mother to show her what I've been up to. She smoked back in the day, but hasn't in over 40 years I guess, she's not a big promoter of cannabis, but also understands it is the only medicine that has worked throughout my life. She couldn't get over how beautiful the flowers were and got excited about the photos. She was completely amazed of the new genetics being passed around, and then went off into a tirade about how it's B.S. that having a will to live makes someone a criminal. I wasn't sure of the response I was expecting, but wasn't expecting the pride she had in my garden. She asked before I left if she could use one of the pics as a screen saver on her lap top, so I hooked her up with a nice pic of a resinous flower from the Skunk#1. My mother doesn't drink, smoke or anything, but can see how this improves my life in ways doctors have never been able to accomplish. Kind of a weird thing for your mother to be proud of you for, but I'll take it. Sorry for all the babble, I just wanted to share something that was extremely touching to me. I have quite the list of chores today so I better get to them, I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. Peace out.

Thanks bro, I've worked hard to keep her healthy, and am happy with the return of love from her. It was a little fussy at first, and had a slow start I think, but she's a beauty now. I have 5 more seeds of this strain and look forward to being able to compare the different phenos when I get the time. I really think after I flower the plants I have vegging It'll be time to start running some GG gear. I just can't tell everyone how impressed I am with their work. Just going through their site https://gagegreen.org/genetics.html is an inspiration to a grower of what could be. They really take genetics to the next level, and have some medicinal strains that I just have to get! Here are a couple of pics of the garden this morning. I made the little cover for my hood like I was talking about, but I for got to use the dang thing. I'll get some later with it on and let you guys know how it works.
These are just some quick pics with the phone, I'll have better ones later from the real camera. I have to say even with the 12/12 stretch the Blue O.G. is still keeping pretty tight node spacing. The Sour Blueberry is even better I think with just a little stretch to her, and really tight node spacing. Both plants are impressive, and will yield nicely I think. I love to look at a nice organic garden, and revel in the gift that cannabis is. If you give this natural wonder what she deserves, she'll give right back in the form of Gods perfect medicine. That's really cool when you think about it. I'm also heavily medicated, but it doesn't change how I feel.
Thanks for stopping in everyone. Peace and love.

Nah brother I'm a Yankee on the other side of the pond. I like to think I'm not a stuck up, brainless, McDonalds eating, consumer zombie though. I live in Cincinnati if you've heard of it before. Pretty nice place I guess, a little behind the times I think. I had a situation occur with my Iced grapefruit last night. I have my osc fan hung so it doesn't take up space and it was buzzing my plant all night. I was wondering why the exhaust was so pungent with the smell of fresh cannabis. How disappointing it was to open the tent and see this. I had to put up a string to keep the hood from sucking onto the tent, so I strung some twine across the back. Little did I figure it was going to push the fan into the plant by it. This is actually quite embarassing. Oh well, I think I'll just take out the flower, and let the lowers develop. I really hate being sick all the dang time, sometimes you just don't think things through as well as you should and end up with stupid problems like this. Well I hope everybody else learns from my mistake and saves a girl from this fate. I don't have a problem admitting I messed up i just hate to see people make the same mistakes after I share mine is all. I'll take a couple of pics of what I end up doing to let you guys know. As always thanks for stopping in everyone. Peace and Love.

I made a mis-calculation about the suction capacity of my in-line, and my osc fan unfortunately buzzed one of my Iced Grapefruit tops all night when it rotated.
Oh well, live and learn. I'm gonna let the poor flower that took the hit finish up. I hate to cut anything off a plant when she's flowering, you always lose more than you think I.M.O. It's the top inch or more of one of the nicer colas on it. I did some quick rearranging in the tent to give everybody some room and to give the newer ladies some more head space as they're a little taller. I don't mind having girls of different heights as long as it's not too extreme, you just have to do some shuffling around now and then to keep them happy is all. I like being able to compare the pinching and strengthening against what you can call a lazy cage or whatever. The pinching if you have the time is by far the way to go, no B.S. cage in your way, and the plant is just healthier I think. But when you get sick and lose your time to waiting rooms, and other such things you adapt. Improvise, adapt, overcome as they say. So i went with the cages cause I thought they would give vertical and horizontal support, along with being able to use it to spread the plant open or pull it in to fill the center. Usually I just wrap soft tie around a branch after working it and simply angle it in the direction I want, and then leave the tie on for a week or so and that's it. Now I have to pinch the stalk work her some, and then tie it off in the cage where I need it to be. I don't think I'll ever be able to untie her or she'll just flop over essentially. Oh well, work with what you got, and just set yourself up better next time if you can. I like the new led rig alot Slip, I think your bang on about just figuring out the height it needs above your plants and after that I think it will kick some butt for you bro. The IR light with the full spectrum and the whites, that should work well I would think. I'm jealous of your spectrum LOL. Take it easy everyone, thanks for stopping in. Peace and love.

Your dialouges are funny as hell man! I had to go ahead and do a little chop on her, but it's alright it was just about 3/4 of an inch maybe. I got out my usb scope and was checking it out, and most of the trich's are almost all milky with the occasional amber one lingering around. Alot of the clear ones are turning milky already and maturing up real nice. If I can get this goofy thing to capture a picture I'll definitely post em up for everybody later. I was really blown away with how fast the resin is maturing on this plant. I got further curious and busted out the pocket scope and the Skunk#1 has almost all milky trich's as well, and they're alot more uniform and even. This Skunk#1 has been one of the most pleasant plants to grow. I've always grown it outside for the most part, and contributed it's vigor to the outside environment and the sun. Now I know this really is the ultimate indoor strain. I could see why so many people were taken by it at first back in the day, and why so many modern strains have it in their heritage. I'm stoked to be getting the G-13 x Skunk#1, and the Afghani x Skunk#1. I can't wait to get some room to pop some of those and start a pheno hunt for a killer mom. I also am looking into Gage Green genetics to see if i can find a killer mom, and am quite stoked about all the possibilities that lie within there. The rest of the year should be quite interesting in my garden. When I cut the top of that cola off on the Iced Grapefruit it smelled so dank, I couldn't believe how strong the smell was. It smelled like a Skunk made of Fruity Pebbles got ran over in my tent. Pretty happy about that, but the chop really depressed me otherwise. Oh well she'll recover. I better get my evening chores done before the girls go to bed. Peace out.

Thanks guys. I really do love my plants and understand our fates are intwined in ways. I got a couple of pics of the Iced Grapefruit top that was sacrificed for the good of the group as it looked like it could get bad, and was the only reason it got the chop. I do like that I'll have a nug to puff on a little early, but it's not worth what I'm gonna lose.Respect for the nice even canopies. I know it can be a real pain to get them like that.

Pretty happy with the way she's maturing. Sorry the pics aren't the best I'm kind of rushing this evening. I'll have better ones later, maybe tomorrow. I can't wait to see the surprise Prosperian, I'm giddy and It's not mine. You and Slipon always do alot of research before you buy stuff so it's always cool. I like to spend some time reading before making a purchase too. Saves alot of headaches. I'm also eager to see you get up and running too Sam. Glad to hear things are working out for you M8. Peace and Love everyone.

Yeah Slip has the light knowledge, Mr. Lumen with a chart to back it up. I like that he's playing with new technology and I can trust his results because I've been with him on previous grows.
Nice thing about this forum is you kind of participate in the other members gardens. It's not just what's going on in your own closet or tent. There are some guys on here with amazing knowledge -I'm sure you have read their posts. The ones that make your head hurt when you're done and not really sure what to do with what you just read.
I prefer the guys that are basic gardeners with excellent crops, but push the edge of their comfort zone to expand their knowledge and skills. Those posts are easy to follow and to apply the techniques to your own plants.
That fixture looks huge in the pics. Foot print must be hitting wall to wall, that's a good thing! Time to get some food, catch you later!

.... what magnification is your scope dude ? peace

Sorry Sam, I know you asked before what the power of the scope was, and I'm always forgetting to write details. I have a 60-100X zoom hand held, and the usb scope is 10-300X. I also use alot of other little magnifiers and scopes to see how the girls are coming along. I can't stress enough the importance of a good scope when your growing cannabis. You just can't tell with the naked eye what the trich's are doing, and how they're maturing. I have to agree with you Prosperian, I really appreciate when someone can take just about nothing and come out the other end with some really nice flowers. I find it way more impressive for someone to grow dank in a closet than a warehouse full of equipment. You have to love what you're doing to pull weight out of a closet or tent I think. I don't have much of an option on this, as my meds are really important to me, and my grow area is quite limited compared to others. I can say however I do have an edge over alot of people for the simple fact I really do love this plant and hold it sacred in my heart. I think anyone who has been sick since they were a baby with stomach ailments, and alot of other crap that's worse, kind of has the right to make themselves better when docs just give up on you frustrated with the situation. I swear sometimes I think if it's not a quick fix with a pill a doc just doesn't want to mess with it and sends you to a "SPECIALIST" Where you get the real help you're looking for and end up in experimental drug trials, and un-proven procedures. What a load of crap, just pass me the joint doc I'll be fine. I don't mean to lump all docs together either cause I have some that are above and beyond, it's just all the other ones you get forced to see in the interim that really makes you hate the people not the profession. Hell I used to go rock climbing with my gastrointerologist until I got too sick. Well enough doctor bashing for this morning. I really don't write that stuff to make docs mad I just want people to understand what a patient has to go through in between the updates of their garden. No surprises this morning in the tent thank Jah. Yesterday was really quite horrific when I opened up those zippers and could hear the fan buzzing that plant. I almost flipped out, but calmed myself and went on with my morning. I Xplanted my Bubblegummer that I have vegging and that girl looks amazing. I started her in a party cup, and then Xplanted her into a container that was really too small, and then I left her in their too long. I gave her a Xplant yesterday into a 2gal pot, and she really took off after the fact and looks great this morning with her leafs pointed up and praying as I say. I also have a couple of pics of my Cindy99 I want to share later. She's barely a foot tall and already has 9 petal leafs, this plant is off the hook. I started to main-line the Cindy99, but I'm not sure of the direction I want to go with her yet. I don't know if I want a strict main-line or if I'm gonna leave some nodes under the top and see what I can do by pulling them up and out for more tops. I'll figure it out and get her on her way soon. My Green Poison is quite the bush now and coming along nicely. I think she'll be more than ready by the time the Skunk#1 is done flowering. My Yumbolt47 is looking good too, with a bushy appearance as well. Lovin my ladies. Have a good day everyone, and thank you for stopping in on my garden. Peace and Love.
