Canopy shot day 56

Thunder Goo cola day 56 (as you can see it's as fat as my fore arm I just don't want to show of a identifiable tattoo I have a few inches up)


My Thunder Goo's have some chunky cola's going on but look like they need another week or 2 and fuck me they are gonna be fat and frosty!

I'll be back with some really nice shots now that I can upload whatever I want again and can put my settings back to Super Fine ect and have top quality pics to share

Thund, the program I use for image editing is GIMP, it's free and no spyware etc. I covered resizing here for a different thing - it's real simple and when you save it there's a slider so you can make the size 149.9 if you wanted. The directions are probably pretty similar for Photoshop and other programs too. You should take the pics on the highest quality setting for this way. All loooks great. Dare I say POTM worthy? Peace bro and I hope someone chimes up with their opinion on the flush thing.

Looking great bro! Thiose bitches are nice and frosty! really anxious to see how the mh helps, even though you dont have a control to compair them too haha
Your really gonna like how a longer veg will fill that tent in! I will prolly produce a good 1/4 lb more this run over last time, and next run i should easily pull a lb with 4 bushed out gals.

My one plant has easy 30-45 tops, and i am just amazed at how healthy and thick they are in these air pots! Before i would have nuges like 6-8 inches long at the end and not much down below that, but these babies have buds from the soil to the tips its unreal! Im also pretty stoked that i have 2 females of Pure Power Plant so far out of 5, 3 more still jhavnt shown.

That being said i am really liking the idea of 4 bushed out plants, wrather than going in larger numbers. By topping and pruning you can get so many more colas in a smaller area than having multiple pots in there, and its a hell of alot easier water 4 than say 20.

But we all got our own little niches and preferences! Im gonna wait another week or so before taking some pics but il think ull really like um!

Id also like to add that i have neuted these gals EVERY WATER except once, and i easily could have neuted that time cause they showed a little defficiency. Just goes to show the "Nute Water Water" cycle isnt enough for all strains. These big bud just eat up the PureBlend Pro Bloom, but dont take nicly to liquid karma

hehe sorry to post all of this in your thread bud!

All the pics are day 57

All the pics are day 57

No worries bro I get excited about my shit and ramble on here too sometimes hahaha so I took some pics today on day 57 and I hit all my Thunder Goo's and my Blue Dream with 5ml Liquid Kool Bloom 0-10-10 and 5ml Deuce Deuce 0-0-22 cuz they look like they needed a feeding to plump up the calyxes but my Double Purple Blowfish is looking gorgeous! Just been getting 15ml Humboldt Nutrients Honey ES per gal since day 42 so it's gonna be tasty and smooth as fuck cuz that will be a 3 week flush on them when I take em down but the TGoo and BDream are going 10 weeks cuz the TGoo's are starting to turn purple now and the trichs are building up so I wanna see what this bitch is all about...

Fire if ya ask me!!! My god I can't wait to have a tent full of the DPBlowfish and the LB#5 cut I have which is either Flubba x Deep Chunk or Afgooey x Deep Chunk either way it's the shit too so my tent will be full of purple goodness next round!

 

[Thundurkel]

Ok so I got a few more to share and want some oppinions on this strain I believe to be Blue Dream I mean the shit smells JUST like it and grows fast like it and it's sativa dom like Blue Dream but I found a few male flowers and see a few seeds that formed but I plucked all the nanners away and hopefully it didn't affect my other strains which I don't think it did but you can never tell till they finish but anyway on with the pics!

I like this shot of the DPBlowfish

^^^so these are shots of the plant I think is Blue Dream what do you all think? these are from today day 57

your doing that 400 watter proud

 

[Researcher]

Wow, Great Buds! Your CFL grows were good also. But the size of the buds with the HID looks like in these pictures is far beyond the CFL buds. Very Impressive!

I have to agree...the cfl's produce just as nice of bud... ... however i too do think the HID produces bigger trees and bigger bud... so what do i think... well see during the harvest.

 

[kid cannabis]

yeah the buds look massive and great but i think the quality is the same and i have wonder if it has to do with the ability to grow larger plants. i mean i have to think bigger plants= bigger fatter buds. but bottom line the plants look sick. cant wait to see the finished product

 

[Thundurkel]

Yea the plants are bigger for sure especially the Thunder Goo in the Air Pots! The girls look better every day now and my Double Purple Blowfish is really getting purple now and more each day!! I like have the 10000K MH during this last week possibly more if the Thunder Goo and Blue Dream aren't to my liking but I'm sure the DPBlowfish will be ready by 63 days...

 

[Thundurkel]

Ok so I can't stop taking pics on there hahah I have a bunch of day 58 for ya...

 

[Thundurkel]

Day 58 continued...

Day 58 continued...

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!

 

[shawkmon]

yup real nice there thun, grow em hard !!!

 

[sednal]

Yeah man lookin real nice, its just ashame you flushed um when ya did! I did the same thing, exspecting them to be 8 weeks and could have gone more. really make them loose fan leaves quick after the flush. Very nice colors in there.

I noticed purple calyxs on the Big Bud pheno im running now and there only at 4.5 weeks!

 

[dman16]

Props on the switch to HID man very impressive. I have planned my upcoming grow (finally starting friday) largely off what i have seen from you (im using a dr80 ,400w hps and airpots).

One question which im sure ahs already been asked, what type of fan are you using? is it on a spped controller and from the pics ive seen looks like its in your bedroom how loud is it for you?
thank you man
+++rep

 

[Metatron]

wow man just found your thread today. reading all of it in one sitting is like watching weed porno. great stuff! when my time comes I would want exactly what you got. Earlier on with the soil vs coco holy crap I never seen the difference, you've made me a believer!

keep it up man I'm watching with anticipation on what you harvest.

 

[Thundurkel]

Anybody think the Double Purple Blowfish may be a Deep Chunk cross? I say this cuz it is possible since it's from a Little Blessings pack and cuz of the curling of the leaves covered in resin... Well I chopped both of them today at day 60 cuz they were finished and I didn't want to have all amber heads cuz I was a good 30/70 (Amber/Cloudy) a few days ago so today I'm sure they were just where I wanted them. It looks like I have maybe 2oz from one and 1.5oz on the other maybe more cuz the hangers holding each plant feel like a pound or so hanging from my finger so who knows. I do know it's some of the most gorgeous bud I've seen and barely needed to be trimmed at all I pretty much just plucked the fan leaves and clipped some sugar leaves here and there but most were so covered in resin it was better to leave em on!! Next run is gonna be 5 plants bushed out and super cropped and it's either 2 Double Purple Blowfish and 3 LB#5 or the other way around but it's those 2 strains only and I'm also gonna add 2 2ft T5's with reflectors to tweak the spectrum...
