see4, The thing is i use organic nutes and i have heard arguements for and against feeding all the way to the end with them.She got fed today and i was going to make it her last ...but i might give her 1 more.. does it not seem a bit weird depriving the plant when it's putting it's most weight on??.

well i've also heard debates for both sides. personally i deprive my plants a nute feeding for the last 2 weeks, and force the plant to pull all the nutrients it can from the soil and leaves.. by the time i harvest, i want the leaves to be dropping and yellow.. i dont like harsh chemy taste in my bud. and since drying is not my expertise.. i need to take advantage of drawing it out where i can..

not sure if that made any sense... but yea man, youre right, with organics it might not matter really.

See puff, I told you jack frost would pay a visit! Hey, got my final weight on the two girls... 190 grams of Cindy goodness.. oh wow, when you start trimming and enjoying the scissor hash!! yummy... can't wait to see more of your girl. Oh, I should have a smoke report in about a week.. I whole dry, so curing time is less in the jar. Peace bro! Great grow!

hey man thats a great pull .. your gonna be high for a while on that lol.. I'm gonna leave the updates now until harvest since it's so close.. If i notice a significant change in frost or weight some day i'll report it otherwise.. in 7 days i'll tidy all the dead leaves off and throw up the harvest day pic.. then after 2 or 3 weeks i'll throw some dried/semi cured bud shots and a smoke report

flushing is for toilets not plants...work on your dry cure....it is not a hard practice

flushing is a unique erroneous act to cannabis horticulture in most likelihood initiated by the Dutch in an idiotic and harmful atonement for their common practice of over fertilization...which also fux up the palnts

also another important point is the requirement of N and co2 for the cure or more accurately fermentation to occur properly

I do however do the 72 hour dark/cold prior to chop

Kite, in theory couldn't you just lower the wattage.. say from 600watts too 450.. If you have a dimmable ballast that is. Which would equal less heat, but still give the plant the needed light to be able to absorb co2. Just questioning, i'm not saying your method is wrong. Just trying to rationalize what happens in nature.. Yeah, colder temps in fall I get that, but too me having a 72 hour dark period just seems to go against logic.

I got two clones from my Cindy that are also in flower. I think with one I'll put it in 72hr darkness as you do and the other i'll keep under the light. Just to see if there is any difference in the two when completed. that way I can make an experimental assessment on the two methods. If I learn something from it great!

Puff, pretty soon your going to be smokin that magic dragon. Looks fan fricken tastic from here.

So as I mentioned i was going to give a pic update on my girl. Here is the kicker. Through my extensive following and triple reading of journals I found that both Big Daddy Puffindatchronic and the Mechanical Maniac both posted pictures on Day 20 of flower. So why shouldn't I to give some comparisons shots of our grows of good ol Cindy 99. I love it when a plan comes together!! Speaking of which, when in the hell are they going to make a new A-team Movie.. Jesus, get off your asses already.. lol


Since Puff started flower before both Mechy and I, he gets top honors with the first pic.
Sorry LG, Checked your Journal and I think the pic you posted was of the Blueberry BG on day 21. If it was the C99 You would have top honors in my post since yours is completed before ours.

I present to you a rundown of 3 special grows, all grown by 3 different Joe Blows with 3 unique and special methods, but all hoping for the same end result. LEGENDARY C99.. Or as you newbs would call it Cinderella 99.

I enjoyed posting this update., I had fun with it. Sucks that I got to type it all out again in Mechs thread. Oh wait copy and paste.. hahahahaha

So here are a few more pics of my girl, since I said i was gona do some pics.

One good thing about LED's. Instant on.. I was able to take this before the HPS warmed up.

I used to always get flat tops.. why the hell wasn't my hair ever this flat after getting out of the barber shop. "Probably had my head cocked sideways staring at the boobs"

If your a rookie you might only count 52-54 budsites.. But if you know what your looking for.. how many do you see? 62-63-64.. well I got a 36" HD computer screen so maybe that helps too.. And I know there are 4-5 that are outside of the picture and I'm not counting those.

Way back in the days of the real original now defunct Opengrow.com forum a study was performed on the effects of the "lights out cooler" last days before chop ...maximum effect was the 72 hour mark...more didn't exceed 72 hours and shorter had a lesser effect

this was proven effective by myself using clones, which I no longer do...IMO cloning is for making money not good weed...yeah I know lots of you may think this bull but fuck that....I use seed and as strictly I grow a strain per run and if I like the strain grow it often to know how to get it to its best.... I personally think that all the "blah blah cut"bullshit is marketing for $$$ and Elitism...If a strain yields a pheno that is unsatifactory to me then I drop it entirely...not into the subfool pheno hell bullshit...thats not a strain...its a cross...But I digress

The theory to the 72 hour dark prechop is twofold...The cannabinoids seem to be there to absorb/redirect harmful rays to protect the flowers and seed and this degrades the cannabinoids ...this is what initiated that study...It was detected that the psycoactive cannabinoids levels were highest in the morning...and the absence of light is a stressor since it is not the norm as well as the colder temperatures and this is belived to increase trichome production...The study indicated a best of 30% INCREASE in thc...worse was 9%

This proved true in my own tests and I have done so ever since

Sure this is not occurring in nature but neither does growing in peat nor hydro and they work

Beautiful plants everyone BTW

Hey adam great comparisons dude.. i have missed the pics of yours for a while..yours looks great! you will be well happy very soon..

Kite ,I know your stance on flushing, and i believe you.. this time though since the plant is not doing so great i thought fuck it i'll just give it water now and let it die .. Don't know if it was over feeding ,the use of baking soda ass ph up for a while or a cal or mag deficiency.. or maybe a bit of all 3 ...but next time I grow ,i will be going lighter on the feed ,i will not be phing at all and i will get some cal/mag ... and if she looks nice and healthy at this stage like see4s ,i will just keep feeding her and see what the difference is ,which is likely to be no difference as there are so many people like yourself who says so

I will however try out this dark period thing.Now ,do you switch your lights off day 49 then and harvest cindy on day 52 after 3 days dark?

I was thinking about maybe shutting off the light on day 49/52 or maybe 50/53 ,but then the thought of losing weight by not having lights on to at least day 52 has made me consider 52/55

I always end up taking samples of new stuff, or if I'm out of anything to burn in the first place. Sure looks nice and frosty though, and I really hope I get that pineapple too! I think I'm gonna cut my girls next weekend, and get the new tray set up and start filling it.

Thanks for giving the reasoning behind the 72hr dark period. At least there was a study on the matter and you have first hand knowledge of the affect from your own experience. You can back it up. + rep I like you Kite.. you don't just beat around the bush with nonsense garble, but you smoke it too.. lol pun intended!
