yeah...she sure took her sweet fucking time...i know im still not getting much off of it...but tis gonna be some potent shit i think.and who knows what might happen after i harvest the top cola...there are about 11 bud sites now that are growing like crazy....there wasnt even bud forming on it when i tied her down...now they are growing great...i think i might get more out of each side branch then i did off the main cola...im hoping when i harvest the top it takes all the energy it was using to flower the top...and redirects it to the bottom.till i tied it down the side branches was getting no light at all and they was maybe half an inch long....now a couple of them are 5-6 inches long

I'm actually hoping to do something similar with my shortrider, the main cola is like 1 ft long and I can't get the bigger lights any closer to all the other bud sites.. I'm actually debating on taking the main cola when its cloudy and doing the same thing.. Hopefully she keeps pushing out some hairs for you so you get some more time for those lower buds to swell.. Lmk how it works out!

Hey ruiner, I've read through your grow and have been following it for a couple of weeks now. Sucks bout all the problems you had with the diesel. Anyways, just wishing you luck and I hope the smoke is awesome!

thanks...and yeah its been a whole slew of problems...but with a new grow box and all new lights it was bound to happen...took some time to fine tune everything...and ill still be making upgrade to the box before my next grow...the way i see this batch is...they are all alive and budding...so im happy...and the diesel is gonna be some dank smoke..so im content...now i hope the dry/cure goes a lil better...i hope i get all the green taste out

beens busy as hell today/tonight..on day 2 of no sleep...yippy...but here are some quick pics..the 3 new ones then the roadrunner and the diesel last

Hmm How often do you water the little ones and how much? That first pic has me concerned

about every 3-4 days..they are right on the lights and dry completely out...i water them till i get a lil run off

here is some pics from tonight...the diesel ryder changed a bit...its kinda got a purple/blueish hue to it now...wasnt like this yesterday.

the roadrunner is doing much better since it got the bad batch on its last feeding...its almost all green again and getting a ton of trichs to it.

and the 3 new babies...i move 2 of them closer to the light..the biggest one was about 3 inches from the light..the other 2 were about 6 inches from the light
they are all now about 2 inches away...that why one is bigger then the other two

Dude the DR looks crazy, it did change a weird color. RR needs to catch up still, that top cola on the DR is nice n fat. The 3 newbies look great. Time to transplant soon. When you choppin the DR? & btw, it's got diesel genes, you aren't gonna get rid of the green taste.

yeah...she has done more then i thought she would...and if it keeps the smell its got now...it should overpower the green taste...either way its gonna get me hella stoned.the roadrunner is about a month younger then the diesel...she has about another month and a half id say.im flushing the diesel now...about another week of that then im harvesting the top cola only..the bottom is still growing.and the 2 new ones are staying in the cups..ive entered them into a pcc or whatever its called..party cup grow.im saving the soil i have left for the papaya and the bubbelicous im starting soon.im hoping to get a male and a female out of those two...breed for some killer seeds.then from that ill start a mother plant to clone from...least thats what im hoping.i wish i could find a place nearby that sells fox farms soils...i cant order it thanks to the asshole that run the complex im in.they wont let ups or fed ex deliever to my door..they make them take it into the office and we pick it up from there.i ordered some whippits online awhile back and the fuckers opened the damn box..then was asking me what it was and why i needed it.they said it came half opened..which is bullshit.so i cant get it sent here

just for the hell of it i made a pic of the deisel showing the difference in a day...blacked out the background so it stands out more.def changed colors...love how it looks now

Nice pics, yea you can definitely see the difference!

wow... overnight darkening... yummy looking

woo hoo..just got an 1/8 of some sour diesel...wish the guy still had the grand daddy purp i got last week...but oh well...time to get stoneddddddddddddddddddddddd

dddddddddddddddddddd!!!!

welp..here is tonights update.not much really has changed...other then the roadrunner finally showing some life.i can tell im going to get a lot more outta her then the diesel...i hope its some good smoke.but anyways..pics...and o yeah...this sour diesel i got last night...some 3 toke shit...and its yummy as hell

Looking good Keep it going

time to do some updates and check out the box for the evening....been dealing with a few fucktards that are roaming the threads...there really are some dipshits on here.i dont claim to be nor am i near the best grower on here...im not here to be in competition with people...im here cause i like to grow and and lend tips anywhere i can along the way....but then these fucking trolls show up...never had a cactus live more then a week for them are on here giving really bad advice to people...that eeks me..makes me want to kick puppies...but enough for the ranting...im off WOOOOOSH *cape flaps in the wind*

:O --.--' Gettemmmm

erm... don't hang out near bridges when trolls are home? sorry to hear that man but sad to say they are inevitable

ahhhh...fuck um...ive got better things to do....heres tonights pics...top cola of the diesel gets chopped in a few days...one more good flush first.i also pulled some soil out of its pot tonight...had way too much in it not being used...so i pulled it out the pot and dumped all the extra soil out...should make it easier to flush.the rest are somewhat on track i guess...the 3 new ones are doing good...watered them tonight..was dry and a lil droopy....which is what i want to see...the diesel was the opposite of that...it wouldnt droop at all when it was drying out..but the second i watered it..droop hell...so since these are drooping i got what i wanted...let them dry out as best i could.and the roadrunner is doing spiffy...bud is forming all over the place...its got 6 inches of main stem and bud going all the way up it...growing like a average roadrunner from what ive seen.
