Morning tokers and growers, doesn't seem that long since I did the last update, been a busy week. Scrog is filled in as much as I can get it too, got about an eighth of the scrogs bare patch left, downside to loosing the Critical Kush, wont happen again, as that was my last seed, thank f**k, glad to see the back of them, the seeds that did sprout well ended up with hermies, I can't smoke pollen, unless its pressed into blocks. Apart from that, we're cruising calm waters. Only other slight mistake I've made is, I forgot to water the plants before I went to work, so a twelve hour shift with out feeding, the plants wilted a little by the time I'd realised, got home from work, had a shower, grabbed some thing to eat, grabbed a cold beer, filled a pipe full of Super Lemon Haze, opened the door of my grow, and saw a scrog of slightly wilting tops, it was then that I realised what I'd done. So a quick watering was organised, and by next morning the plants were erect again. I'm expecting a few yellow leaves over the next week as a consequence of my mistake, and a minor slow down in growth for a day, but no more than that. New growers reading this and take heart, it doesn't matter how long you've been growing, you will always make a mistake, no matter how small. But apart from these minor setbacks, I flipped to 12/12 this morning and swapped over to HPS from MH, so we're now in flower. Now the magic starts. Lets look at the pics.

Choclate Skunk. You can see the lower trunk leaves being sucked back into the plant, waste not want not, as the canopy thickens, the bottom leaves under the scrog will die off due to a shortage of light.

Had to push over the branch in the bottom left hand corner as it was getting a bit tall for its spot.

We've now arrived at the end of this weeks update, will my early morning mistake make any difference, will it cause my leaves to turn yellow? Oh no, not again. Tune in next week and find out, until then, just keep tokin folks.

i had a pretty bad whoopsy myself last week,this plant that is still flowering outside ,in which is blowing what little mind i got left wild,i decided to move my stakes to look around the bottom of plant,when i did snap goes the weasel ,didnt even think about it and just put a bread tie on it to pull back together,plant never even missed a lick and outside at that, this thing has got to be the bluedream and acupoco i made in the winds of hurricane harvey few years back.
it was planted in mid dec,it has withstood 3 nights of 19 degrees with just a bucket over it,then it has taken about 2 weeks of 30ish nights and 40ish days ,it started flowering and hasnt stopped yet.
i have given it no care other than tieing down some stems were it isnt noticed,it just refuses to go back to veg hahaha, it has got to turn a hermie for sure ,but i havent killed the plant in wanting to know how much it can take . odd stuff no doubt

Glad its not just me then Oldy.

We've seen a few things over the last ten years, and haven't things moved on from then, I remember hempy buckets being the top method to grow with coco, and yes, if its possible, then it will happen.

It's possible my middle gal thru "Nanners", I yanked it out of the tent last evening, I caught it, but how soon is the question. SS

Keep a sharp eye on the others, as you've treated all the plants the same, just give the pots a spin round and have good a look, pick the pollen pods off as best you can. If all five herm, then its some thing you did to all the plants, and that's some thing to work on next run. Cant be much, as your veg plants looked good.

Good morning tokers and growers, its Saturday morning, and time for an update. All has gone well this week, no mishaps like forgetting to feed the plants before I went to work, don't think its done any harm, just the trunk leaves that were falling off due to not getting enough light, plants have just sucked them in a little sooner, no biggy. We have now finished week one of flower, and started week two when the lights came on this morning. So we're on our way bud heaven again, looking forward to getting these strains out of the way so I can start my new seed stash, as I've emptied every seed depot I had, even down the back of the sofa, not that the sofa stash was a bad thing, as the plant I grew had class, and shaded the seeds I'd bought, don't know what to think about that, so I changed my seed supplier. Anyway, that's for the next run. I also invested in a duel spectrum HID bulb, had one before, but can't remember how it performed, its on one of my diaries some were. So this is being employed for flowering next run, so we'll see how it performs, again, in a couple of months. Other than that, no insects have put in an appearance, but as we all know, they don't arrive until your in flower, how do the b*****ds know, my plants are in a wardrobe in a house, but they still find them, some sort of high end sat nav maybe. Back to orange pics for the next 8/9 weeks, not had them for a while, downside with HPS is its hard to spot deficiencies fast enough before the take over and do a bit of damage, so anyone using HPS for the first time, beware, just because things are orange, it doesn't mean your golden. Right, lets look at some orange pics then.

Chocolate Skunk.

Group Shots. Here's a thing that most folk don't know, plants sleep, I've never had any pics of this before, but now I have, and this is how it came about. The lights came on in this morning, so I did my usual feed/watering, took my pics for this update. If you look, the Chocolate Skunk is sulking slightly in the first pic. Well, one hour later, I decided to put a chalk mark on my black fan pole, purely to see how fast the scrog is growing by the week, so I took the first pic at lights on.

Any way, I decided a hour later to put a chalk mark on the black pole that holds my mini fan, to see how fast the plants were growing, purely for a bit of interest. But when I looked at the second round of pics for the updade, the plants were nearly praying.

The chalk mark. There will be another one next Saturday.

After two hours with the light on, the plants were fully awake, so this tells me my plants take two hours to wake up and tune in to the light, so am I only getting ten hours light to my plants, or can they still making full use of the light while they are extending their leaves? Don't know, next time I have a few beers, I'll ask a plant.

And there you go, that's us updated, If you have nothing better to do next Saturday morning, or just have a fetish for cannabis plants, tune in next week and see the second chalk mark (so exciting) Until then, just keep tokin folks.

finally someone agrees, all these years i been telling folks plants need sleep too ,when they want to run 24 hr lights or 20 hrs,i tell um everyone and thing needs sleep ,thats when the body and mind repair,same goes for plants.
i also believe that this is the reasoning of nutrients building up in the plant, as the saying goes for fermenting plants is take the new growth in the dark for your material to ferment ,i noticed this happening years ago with my veggie garden,them damn tomato horn worms are as big as your thumb but you cant spot them on the plant from there camouflage ,wait to dark and go out with a flash light and there is no longer camo for them ,they glow,but by doing so you can also see the leaves start to stand up with the light.
anyway wont be long and party time looking great

Nice grow @chemistry . I ran the dual spectrum bulbs for many crops but just recently switched to hps simply because of the amount foxtailing from some genetic lines. Doubt the light was the cause but figured I'd try. Best of luck.

That's what I like about growing indoors, the permutations are infinite, its what keeps me interested.

That's the thing, if you can wake the plants faster, you'll gain more growing time in flower, 14 hours a week to wake up, its a plants life.

Morning tokers and growers, hope your all well. We've now finished week two of flower and starting week three as of lights on this morning, no defs, bugs, or any mishaps to report. That's the two week stretch out of the way, put another marker on the fan pole to mark the two week stretch, and to see how fast the plants grow by the week, normally with out the scrog I would expect two feet of fast growth, but due to to scrogging I expect about a foot from the base of the scrog to the top of the plants after two weeks, and that's about what I have now, some types of super Sativa will break these rules, and push out jungle amounts of growth every day, happy to say, these are not. More of the shaded pale yellow leaves have fallen, no point in the plant keeping them as they're in the shade and serving no purpose, if you look at a wild plant, you'll see the same thing at the trunk, lime coloured leaves, or crinkly brown. Isn't nature a wonderful thing. All three plants are fully flowering, soon have some major muff tops to to show you, week five being my favourite for muff, seems to be the peak. Orange pics anyone.

Other things, was sat having a toke in the sun, out in the yard is where my squeeze grows here flowers in pots, now I don't have a lot to do with the flowers, other than being the main transporter of the pot/tubs around the garden, give me veg and fruit trees any day, don't have to carry them around. Got a text from Amazon, you know what they're like for pushing their wares, and a couple of the pots next to where I was sat had pansies in them, normally to busy to look at flowers, but these bright and complicated in colour, take my hat off to the breeders of this type of plant, as they must grow thousands of plants to cross, and then cross them until some thing they like sports the colours they're looking for, amazing plantsmanship. Anyway, I took a couple of snaps while I was sat toking, you can tell I was toking as all the pics have a blurd patch some were, thumb print on phone camera lense, never claimed to be a photographer. lol These are just a few of the patterns, I could fill a whole update with different petal patterns.

This one looks like it was made from an ink devil.

This is a complicated pattern.

This one is nearly ready to dead head as its nearly done. Nice colour purple for a hot rod or custom truck.

And there you go, we've come to the end of another update, we've had minor muff and complicated colour, if you want more, and bigger muffs, then join me next week for more of the same, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Morning all you tokers and growers, how are you all this Saturday morning, all good I hope. Here we are, just finished week three at lights on, and starting week 4. The plants are looking good, and developing some nice tight tops on them, Muff every were for week 3, we'll be muffed up to the eyeballs by week five, can't wait. Still no bugs or defs, apart from the one caused by my not feeding the plants before I went to work, think the plants are over it now, I've no doubt they dropped more yellow leaves from the base, faster because of it, but no loss, they were doomed in the dark anyway, so not worried, much. You just have to laugh at your mistakes and dream one that day you'll become a grow master, although I can't tell you how long it takes, as I've been around a while now, and I still fuck it up from time to time. What I'm trying to say is, any new growers reading this, don't let your mistakes get the better of you, keep smiling, and enjoy your growing, or the stress of indoor growing will crush you in the end, so above every thing else, enjoy what you do, if you don't like a certain method of growing, change it to some thing else. I like coco, but the mess drives me up the wall, this is why I moved over to DWC, no muck, just clean water to tend. Only downside I found to DWC is how heavy the 5 gallon buckets were to move about with out splashing nuits all over the place. These days I run a drain to waste system, pour fresh nuits in at the top, waste drains out into the bottom tub, when its full, the tub is pumped into a five gallon barrel to remove it, easy life. Fancy some orange pics.

There goes week three, hello week four, and the end of another update. If you think you might be at a loose end next Saturday with no hope of finding some thing else to do, pop back next week and see what week four has produced, you never know, you may get snowed in and need to fill in some time, Until then, just keep tokin folks.
