I'm trying to get updated pics up tonight nothing has been chopped yet. Thursday will be 4 weeks of flushing..... I'm getting impatient, every day I get the shears in my hand then I keep thinking of all of the times I've seen people say to wait and be patient.

For size comparision Here are the 2 of them together. The close ups are all of the smaller plant.







and then there's always round 2....

12 seeds so far out of 3 buds (4 seeds per bud) that were already clipped from the shorter plant. I am hoping for the same numbers from the larger plant!!
 
Can some one help me? I am new at closet grows and I have been using floros. Although I have had a couple of fair grows I am into getting MH. i WAS JUST GIVEN A 100 WATT/120V MH bulb. I hear about ballast? I have a 300 watt rated brooder lamp with reflector.Medium ceramic base. Can I use this? If not what all do I need? Thanks
 
:jawdrop: wow! it's been a few since i checked back on your grow, and holly crap! i must say, those are some very very nice looking buds. if they smoke half as good as they look your in for one hell of a treat!

great job! :headbange

Thanks stke, I've been watching your grow as well. That screen is filling out nicely! I think they will be as good as they look, I've had a few samples, soaring head high that doesn't keep you down. I'm sure that will change a bit, those samples were taken about 2 weeks ago.

Today puts them at 4 weeks of flushing, you can see they can take it and then some. That larger plant still has new growth..... I never thought these would go this long into a flush but, DJ said, the longer the better, so I'll stick by the man's word and take them as far as I can but I have a trip planned next week and I won't let them go unsupervised while I'm away for 5 days. besides I'm out of weed.....that little plant is getting chopped tonight!

Man, what a ride you have had, Murph!

Things are turning around for you now it is obvious.
Grape K looks soo tasty! And those are some very nice looking SM's you have...couple some of the most sativa-ish I've seen.
I know that you weren't too enthused about the Thunks from the start, and they are definitely going to be a struggle to keep them in your containment until finish, but IMO Sammies haze is going to be some of the finest herb. I hope you can finish them out.
But no matter what, you will have some fine herb my friend!

(glad to see you take those covers off the coffee jugs too...I like to put holes in the bottom for drainage, and use the lids for catch pans, although the don't fit "perfect"...but hey us DIYers do what we gotta do!)

I didn't have a scale to weight the Grape Krush but I have to say it was light.....actually I've burned it all at this point. One thing for you guys following or looking for GK info, it's great weed but it's not the best I've smoked by far. It has a celing....like I said, I've smoked all of it, trust me on that one guys. I'm glad I grew it, I always wanted to smoke something of DJ's and I've got about 20 seeds for another run. To me it's day weed, I smoked up and cut the grass, ran around town, a few people that I gave some to really liked it too.

Anyway, here is the last Mandala Safari Mix I had for this thread. This plant seemed to go forever! It was put under 12/12 on 3/10.....I just chopped it today after a month long flush, it wasn't planned to be that long but, it just kept going. 3.6 ozs wet weight, trimmed. I expect to loose about 75% of the weight during the cure.


And then there still the MONSTER T*HAZExSKUNK, I'll post a pic up soon. Picture a Christmas wreath....that's what it looks like now. About a 20-24" diameter.

The full cab is back in action, vegging 4 AK-47's, 2 Mandala Safari Clones, a Grape Krush and the THUNK, which I have to pull out and put back in to maintain 12/12 on it. The cab is packed this time around, I can't fit anything else in there, no way I'm having a repeat of this grow with all the males!

make sure to show us some cured bud shots!!! :)
Cured? LOL, I've already burned through all of the Grape Krush and most of the Mandala Safari Mix. Thunk is up next, in about another month it will be ready to chop. It stalled, I think due to a PH problem but, it's back to showing a lot of new growth. I'll get a pic this weekend.

Hey Murphy when you gonna post another update, I'd really like to see your Thunk plant before it goes under the ax!!!

That beast is still in the cab taking up way to much room! I've cut a few buds from it......ran out of everything I've harvested up to this point. It should have another 3 weeks but I don't think it's going to make it all of the way. I have no skills when it comes to dirt farming, I can't even keep a house plant alive. I'll get a pic up and one of the rest of the cab. There's been plenty of stuff growing..........
