Don't really post much in this thread but I read check it everyday. I thought I would share a pic of my first plant coming back into growing. It was just some bag seed, but is turning out great. Just feeding flower blooming teas, and Bud Candy, under a 600w cooltube. Day 44ish, the picture was from 2 days ago.

Looks gooooooooood ADT. I had a great yield from the bag seed on my last grow. Funny thing is, my dealer gave me bud that was way inferior to what I produced. Goes to show what a little TLC can do for a mystery seed. Hope you have the same results.

Haha thanks, yeah I am quite surprise by the results already, I know the bud wasn't near as good.

Yeah I saw that bag seed harvest, looks real fire. You got to love the mystery of bag seed.

When I first started growing I was trying to soak up as much info as I could, all I read was bag seed is inferior yadda yadda. So I chopped an amazing looking Indica(I believe it was some type of kush) plant I was doing experiments on to hone my skills. Regret it every time I see a bag seed grow. Live and Learn, I won't encounter bag seed anymore :\ I guess that's one shitty point of growing your own foliage.

Good Job ADT. Looks awesome.

Anyone here do a dark period before harvest?????

I was reading this article in SKUNK magazine, and it says that a 10 day darkness will increase potency, reduce harsh flavors, and bring a lime green alien look to some of the buds....

I was wondering if anyone has done anything like that before.....

I believe it to be hokum. That is 100% my opinion. I was thinking about attempting this then sat and thought about it, how is a plant going to get magically more potent because the lights turn out, in such a short period of time (1-3 days is the average spread around)? It thinks it's going to die and gets better? huh? Pretty sure the plant knows it's dieing when it's finished flowering. The response then is to throw male parts everywhere, this seems like the opposite of a good thing ;)

My best guess is these guys are seeing perhaps a quicker maturation of the trichomes? I doubt there is more of them and I doubt the smoke is actually any stronger. Could be wrong, I am completely unedumacated when it comes to this sort of thing. Maybe there is scientific reasons it gets better. No has presented them as far as I know, it's all hearsay. I have a hard time finding before and after, I keep hearing more trichomes well if it's so easily discernible then before after pictures please and thanks.

I used to watch videos of a medical guy who swore by this, but never ever provided any sort of information on why he thinks it works. "It just does" when stuff like that is said I ask more questions :)

my plants get a dark period every 12 hours, they are going to be potent as fuck. :)

The Rev wrote a book on it. Literally a book, Actually a bunch of books on it.
look close you read the words By "The Rev"



I'm pretty sure he knows what he is talking about.
It's NOT bullshit as you suggest.

I will do it with my last plants to be ready for harvest. and show the difference between the rest. and I'm getting all my strains tested. So I will know if there is an increase in potency or not.

Don't knock it till you try it. lol

You are more than welcome to your opinion. But lately I have been doing what I can to bring newer exciting things to the world of Cannabis cultivation. Including more people using the darkness to manipulate their buds. I actually have a whole article on photo period manipulation to increase potency in the plant. which ends with the 10 days of darkness piece.

Hello Everyone! Just thought I would drop by to show what I got cooking! Jack the Ripper, Skywalker OG, LSD, Chemdawg 4, Blue Dream. Also a picture of the next group - my first set of clones, NWA, White Russian and GSC. I'm narrowing down the number of strain in the run.

Cool, Thanks Dankster420, I currently have two of them. I just renewed my Med Card, and I'm adding another which max me out at 45 plants. I getting away from running so many strains at once, I want to cut it down to maybe 2 or 3 strains.

Well, I hear that.. But with me, I'm running a wide selection, almost 50 now, where I took some, and a few didn't start for me. That and my outdoors is getting ready to come down, so that will drop my #'s a lot 2.. ;)
I'm trying to kick out some good F1's, that and just like a selection of smoke, not having to just smoke 1 flav... :mrgreen:

Hey everybody. See some nice plant pics on here since my last post. Green thumbs up to Stew, Dank, and GS, way to go fellas!

I did a test smoke on the white lavender @ a month cure last night. Killer resin on this strain and harvested just right with a strong head high that doesn't drop me on the floor. Picking up ripe fruit aromas and flavors and a spiciness on the tongue. This is a keeper and recommended.

G13 Labs White Lavender Genetics: White Widow x Lavender


Located some new containers for all the bud. I'm using these taller air tight containers to simplify my life and consolidate the jars. Container Store 2.5 qt: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/kitchen/foodStorage/canisters?productId=10033113&N=74062&Nao=20 I will let you know how these work, but I really like the size for my storage needs.

Hope everyone is doing well and the grows are green and sticky! :leaf:

yea the worst part of growing, like to watch them produce Bud`s and the smoke em part much more

Ooh well it is just one plant :D and since I dry em indoors with normal ambi temperatures (70-75F) I like to keep some sugar leaves on em or they just dry to fast (3 days) have better success with leaving some leaves on for the trimming before I jar em, that way it take +5 days to dry em for the jar`s and the strain do have a pretty high Bud to leave ration to start with so it did only take me a hour or so

Looking good boys, Slipon, Pros, Dank, Stew.


Here's how my mainlining trial is going.



Here's one of my clones that I took to fill a gap in the room. There are 4 like this.




All 3 of the mainline plants now have 8 heads

I'm gonna be flipping the lighting in the next 7 days.
